There was such a good thing? Is His Majesty starting to value the Air Force?
When he heard that Qin Zhen was going to give the resources to the Air Force and that the Air Force would be responsible for the defense of Qin Island for the next three years, the Air Force Commander Chen Minglong, who was wandering in the sky, suddenly became spirited.
Of the Great Qin Empire's three armed forces, the navy was called the Royal Navy, and the army was called the Royal Army. Only the air force did not have the " Royal " as its presence was too weak.
In 1917, the Great Qin Navy suffered a crushing defeat at the Indu Ocean, and three fleets were wiped out.
The Navy that Great Qin was so proud of was gone, and in order to protect the homeland, Great Qin's Air Force was officially established. It was the world's first independent Air Force, and after the end of the war, Great Qin's Air Force had been equipped with more than 50,000 fighter jets.
However, due to the lack of technology, the role that the air force could play was extremely limited, allowing the allied fleet to break through the air force blockade and bombard Qin Island at an extremely small price.
At the critical moment, the Air Force went all out and used fighter planes loaded with explosives to launch suicide attacks. Only then did they finally repel the Western Powers 'alliance fleet and defend Qin Island.
The question was, why wasn't the Air Force rewarded for their meritorious service? Why wasn't it even given a royal title?
The reason for this was that Great Qin had been established for more than 600 years, and the Qin Islands had never been attacked by any external enemies. It was also the overlord of the sea for two centuries and the world's largest economy. Before the 20th century, the capital, Xianyang, was the center of the world.
The flower culture that had lasted for thousands of years was dazzling, and Great Qin had perfectly inherited it. Unlike the flower culture that had been ravaged by the Miqing, how could the people of a country with such a developed economy and military not be arrogant?
Therefore, the Air Force did not stop the enemy at the first moment, causing the coastal areas of Qin Island to suffer a fatal blow. Hundreds of thousands of unarmed civilians died tragically under the enemy's cannons, and the property losses were incalculable. Even if the Air Force won with human bombs and repelled the enemy, they were still the scapegoat in the end.
The previous emperor, Qin Ming, knew very well that not only did the Air Force not make any mistakes, but they had also made great contributions. They were heroes who had saved the building from collapse.
However, it was difficult to defy public opinion. In addition, the navy faction was too strong. After considering it all, they did not give the Air Force the honor it deserved.
More than ten years had passed. Although the Air Force had been requesting an expansion every year and an increase in military spending, it was firmly suppressed by the Navy, causing the contradictions between the two sides to accumulate deeper and deeper. From time to time, conflicts would erupt.
Before Chen Minglong could say anything, Navy Commander Qi Yangsong was unhappy.
If the Air Force allocated resources, it meant that the Navy would build fewer warships.
"Your Majesty…"
"Shut up!"
Qin Zhen glanced at Qi Yangsong expressionlessly, scaring the general so much that he trembled.
Seeing the Emperor's anger, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines. They looked down and did not dare to breathe loudly.
The high-ranking officials and generals were afraid of Qin Zhen to the bone.
It had only been two years since he ascended the throne. The reason why Qin Zhen could successfully concentrate power was partly because of his ability and tactics. The foundation laid by the previous emperor, Qin Ming, was also the reason why he could successfully concentrate power.
The most important factor was that Qin Zhen had used the huge wealth of the royal family to rebuild the Black Ice Platform, an intelligence agency that had existed since the founding of the country but was already half-dead. He had also trained a large number of elite agents to investigate the military and political officials in an all-pervasive manner, thus grasping these old foxes.
As a transmigrator, although Qin Zhen had never been in power, he was completely a political noob.
However, he had never seen a pig run before.
Control the media and newspapers, and then firmly grasp the Black Ice Platform, an intelligence organization that was even more powerful than the Jinyiwei. No one would be able to jump up and cooperate. If they did not cooperate, they would expose the black material in minutes and make you lose your reputation.
Great Qin was not a feudal society, and its citizens had the right to vote. No one could go against the will of the people.
Which official had a clean background?
"I treat the three armed forces equally. Don't talk nonsense!”
Qin Zhen said in a deep voice after giving the navy a warning.
"In the future, Great Qin will definitely take revenge and make those bastards who bullied the empire pay the price.”
"From the end of the European War until now, you must have tasted the bitterness of lack of resources, right?”
Hearing this, everyone nodded subconsciously.
Bitter, too bitter. It was simply not a life for a human!
The fatal weakness of the island nation was the lack of resources. Without colonies, it could not develop at all.
The three largest island countries in the world were Great Britain, Fusang, and Great Qin.
There was no need to talk about Great Britain. Ever since the 17th century, Great Britain had allied with Gaul and the Horan Navy to defeat Great Qin, becoming the overlord of the seas and seizing control of more than half of East Manya. They had colonies all over the world, and they were known as the Empire that the sun never set. They did not lack resources or wealth.
Fusang only rose up after the Kurofune incident. The western powers deliberately supported them to contain the Russian Miqing. After seizing the Korean Peninsula, their strength rapidly expanded. After the European war ended, their naval strength became the third in the world. Yesterday, they even launched an invasion and invaded the northeast of Zhonghua in a despicable and shameless way.
With the resources in the northeast, Fusang's resource crisis had been greatly reduced. They could also plunder wealth from the occupied areas, and their strength had increased significantly.
Great Qin!
Only Great Qin was in the worst state. It had no resources, and it had suffered a crushing defeat in the European War. Its military strength had fallen from third place to tenth place.
Without the navy, how could the army swim to land?
The Air Force could only be a watchdog.
What was even worse was that the western countries were taking advantage of their weakness to suppress Great Qin at all costs. It was obvious that they were determined to kill Great Qin.
Revenge! Expanse!
The more the officials thought about it, the angrier they became. They yearned for land like never before.
"Your Majesty, expansion is a must. We must destroy the Ansa people and take revenge.”
"Right, starting from the 18th century, millions of soldiers and civilians died tragically at the hands of the Anza people. They even used vicious methods to suppress Great Qin and destroy it. If we don't take revenge, we'll be letting down our ancestors and the previous emperors!”
"Other than the Ansa people, who are the good people who participated in the siege of Great Qin? Gaul, Italy, Helan, Spotted Teeth, Russia, and the Fusang Dwarf? Who hasn't had the blood of Great Qin's soldiers on their hands? When we recover, none of us will be able to escape.”
"Fight, first fight the Anza people, then kill all the Japanese. Damn it, they still dare to invade the three eastern provinces and slaughter our compatriots.”
"Speaking of those bastards, they even dared to confiscate the assets of our Great Qin merchants in Fusang last month. Your Majesty, how do you think we should deal with them?”
