Chapter 289: In Progress
But now is not the time yet.
Although Hans Qi has extremely high talent on the military level, this army strictly speaking belongs to the Ministry of War at this time.
And the Minister of the Ministry of War has the surname Mai.
With Hans Qi’s way of doing things, it is not that he has no ability to grasp this army.
It’s just that the outcome can be imagined.
In the process, it will inevitably cause intense turmoil within the army, and thus cause internal battle damage that is not too necessary.
Give him some time.
Hans Ming clenched his fist, give him some more time, and he will surely hand over a complete and powerful army of the Hans Civilization without the Mai Family’s random interference to this Hans Qi who is absolutely loyal to him.
Hans Qi on the side saw his Emperor’s clenched fists. As an orphan adopted by the Imperial Family from childhood, he was given a name by Hans Ming.
He knew what his lord father was thinking at this moment.
But just as Hans Ming was concerned, he had the confidence to completely control this army, but the premise was sacrificing a large part of the living forces.
Hans Qi’s tall and burly figure suddenly became tense at this moment.
Only those who knew him best would know that this straightforward martial commander was extremely agitated in his emotions at this moment.
“Qi, if I let you command the most powerful army in Hans Civilization history to declare war on Human Civilization, how confident are you in taking down Human Civilization?”
Hans Ming broke the eerie silence in the command room, but his words, as if they could ignite a fire, made all the senior officers in the command room, including Prime Minister Mai Si, change their expressions drastically.
“Your Majesty, in an instant!”
Today?
Obviously not.
“Hehe, young and vigorous, step down. Prime Minister, you analyze it. With our scale of 100,000 battleships, how long will it take to take down Human Civilization?”
With the Emperor’s rebuke and the subsequent laugh, the tense atmosphere finally subsided.
On the other side, there was not much change in the expression on Mai Si’s face. He knew that the Emperor could not make a move against the Ministry of War at this time.
Unless he wanted to break the jar.
But even so, Mai Si was confident that he could stabilize the situation with the means he had left during years of governance.
Now both sides were just delaying time.
It depends on who can laugh to the end.
“Your Majesty, wars between civilizations are never something that can end overnight.
The Ministry of War has now assembled all the military forces in the Empire for the military parade. Just the early preparations between our Six Ministries have cost countless manpower and financial resources.
And if we are to declare war on Human Civilization, it is far from just that.
Although the intelligence work at the same time has been launched in advance under Your Majesty’s arrangement.
But up to now, the Intelligence Department has not sent back much useful information.
As for Human Civilization’s 50,000 battleships, they have existed for a long time, which is not intelligence at all.
And I believe that Human Civilization, as a civilization that has experienced thousands of years of continuous war since the Jupiter era.
They must have an extremely thorough understanding and analysis of the situation relationships in the entire Galactic Alliance, as well as the situation at the Centauri Alpha star domain.
They cannot be unaware that this star domain is now facing a great crisis.
And because of this, their unchanged 50,000 battleships are fundamentally not means to respond to the crisis.
In my personal analysis and speculation, Human Civilization must have sufficient preparations in other aspects.
In the view of this old minister, if the Intelligence Department has not obtained major intelligence in this regard, it is still inconvenient to initiate a declaration of war proactively.
If Your Majesty insists on doing so, this old minister can only say that this battle will probably not be easy.”
In everyone’s view, Mai Si’s words were well-analyzed, and he even introduced and analyzed the background of Human Civilization’s survival environment in the mother planet era.
The meaning between his words was actually opposing the declaration of war.
But he also knew that this decision could not be reversed by his personal attitude now.
“Hehe, see, the Prime Minister is indeed steady and prudent. Qi, learn carefully, don’t think that with some ability you can become arrogant.”
Unexpectedly, today’s Hans Ming seemed to be in a very good mood, and he showed no displeasure at Mai Si’s repeated opposition to his declaration of war.
Instead, he took advantage of Mai Si’s analysis to publicly reprimand Hans Qi again in front of a group of high officials, who had just been rebuked.
This Hans Qi was indeed straightforward. After hearing these words, the gaze he directed at Prime Minister Mai Si began to faintly fill with blood.
“Yes, in response to Your Majesty, your minister understands.
If there is an opportunity, your minister will let Prime Minister know that under your minister’s command, our Hans Civilization army will be invincible and victorious in every battle.”
“Insolent! Step down!”
Hans Ming was full of displeasure and gave another loud reprimand, which finally made this Hans Qi, who showed malice towards Mai Si and seemed ready to pounce and tear him apart at any moment, retreat.
“Prime Minister, do not mind. The young man is ignorant. In the future, I hope the Prime Minister will take care of him on my behalf.”
“In response to Your Majesty, it is fine. This old minister understands.”
The monarch and minister looked at each other and smiled. In the eyes of others, this was simply a harmonious monarch-minister relationship.
But apart from the straightforward and honest Hans Qi, who among the people present actually believed this?
This seemingly harmonious and calm monarch-minister dialogue began to clash with intense sparks word by word.
Not long after, several streams of light suddenly shot rapidly from the distance in front of the huge fleet ahead of the command ship.
Immediately after, nearly ten super-large spaceships with a body length of 30 kilometers appeared in front of these fleets.
This is the only small aircraft carrier owned by the Hans Civilization.
As soon as the ten huge aircraft carriers finished warp drive, they domineeringly positioned themselves at the forefront of all fleets.
The 100,000 battleships are divided into ten legions, and each of these small aircraft carriers corresponds to one battleship legion, serving as their command flagship.
As an aircraft carrier that uses small high-speed space drones, its status in the current space stations is actually quite awkward.
Because of different operational needs, it is more oriented towards ultra-long-range combat + command, and is actually not good at frontal battlefield assaults on enemy formations.
But correspondingly, because of its flagship’s own tonnage, plus thick armor, and huge multifunctional platform, this small aircraft carrier has very good applicability in command and unified warfare.
Plus its corresponding anti-air rebellion means, in a certain sense, although the small carrier has weak frontal attack capability, it has impressive performance in defense.
And an important point is that the selling price of this small flagship is the lowest among all flagships.
This also makes it the most common choice for most low-level civilizations when selecting group army flagships.
As for the strategic command ship that Hans Ming is riding, the price of one can buy all of these small flagships with plenty to spare, so it naturally will not be mass-assembled in the army.
