Chapter Thirty-Eight Sixteen Years

The progress of the First Realm has stalled. Until the empire does not come up with a targeted plan and there are no targeted means to kill the mastermind of the First Realm, there will not be much change.

But there is no doubt about the development of the Los Angeles stronghold.

A few months later, on the eve of the sixteenth year of the Chinese Era, when the stronghold was preparing to celebrate the New Year, the entire Los Angeles had been occupied by the stronghold.

The base will not continue to expand, but the city of Los Angeles under our noses will not be left alone.

The overall situation in the first realm has reached its weakest point. As expected, the living dead all over the planet entered the stage of devouring each other as the cultists said, and many powerful 'Purifiers' were born.

These Purifiers are almost as physically inferior to the Empire's most elite warriors, and their destructive power is, at a certain level, even more terrifying than the Empire's army. They have a strong contagious power of evil.

Those ordinary people who escaped the disaster and were not infected into the living dead in the first place will lose their lives in an instant and be transformed into the living dead when facing the Purifier.

The stronghold has gradually communicated more frequently with other survivor bases in the first world, and more and more information has been obtained. After the Purifiers began to reveal themselves, many small and medium-sized survivor bases were destroyed one by one. Even some large bases, if they do not have strong defense means, will be destroyed by the attacks of the World Purifiers.

Ordinary thermal weapons in the First Realm cannot cause great harm to the Purifiers, and the Purifiers also have extremely strong self-recovery capabilities, so cutting off arms and legs is not a problem at all.

Only those large bases with a pre-annihilation national background have the confidence to resist the Purifiers.

But that's all - the existence of the cultists caused huge trouble to the survivors. Even a large base with a national background cannot completely eliminate the presence of cultists.

Many large bases were destroyed by internal and external attacks by cultists and purifiers.

At its peak, the First Realm had a population of more than 10 billion. At the stage of the world-destroying disaster, more than 90% of the population was eroded by evil spirits and turned into the living dead.

And this huge number of living dead is fertile soil for the birth of those who purify the world.

According to the statistics and calculations of many survivor bases, one purifier will be born for every thousand living dead devouring each other. The ratio of one thousand to one, based on the base number of tens of billions, can predict how many purifiers will eventually be born - tens of millions!

In the context of the birth of more and more purifiers, the living environment of surviving humans will become increasingly harsh.

While the first local survivor base was weak, the Los Angeles stronghold of the Great Xia Empire became increasingly prosperous.

It’s not that there are no purists who come here to cause trouble. On the contrary, compared to others, such as the American National Base on the east coast, the number of Purifiers who want to destroy Los Angeles is at least ten times more, but under the power of the True Element Artillery, the Purifiers are not a concern of.

Many surrounding small and medium-sized bases were breached one after another. Those Purifiers seemed to intend to rush the remaining survivors towards the Los Angeles base, and the only result was to add holes to the Los Angeles base.

As of now, the population of the Los Angeles stronghold of the Daxia Empire has exceeded 100,000.

The shape and layout of this stronghold is gradually evolving towards the Great Xia Empire. Whether it is architectural style or behavioral methods.

For example, if those survivors want to live a better life, they must move closer to the rulers of the base. The basic prerequisite for getting closer is to be able to speak Chinese.

This is how empires have always dealt with it - conquer a place, rule a place, starting with language. If the local people want to live better and gain more rights under the rule of the empire, they must abandon their original things and learn from the country.

Learn the language of the empire, follow the cultural habits of the empire, obey the laws of the empire, gradually integrate into the empire step by step, and become a part of the empire.

The sixteenth year of the Chinese Era has arrived, and a new page has opened for the empire. Some information related to cross-level and cross-space strategies was gradually disclosed and guided, causing considerable repercussions among the people.

The empire has just ended its own war, and the people of the empire have not yet fully adapted to a time without war. Therefore, the waves caused by the cross-level strategy among the people are all positive.

Of course, this is also related to the empire's policy - joining the army and opening up new territories are the most direct and convenient ways for people to obtain titles and become masters.

But take the merit right away!

The empire has some similarities with Qin Qin and Han. It's not a complete farming and warfare system, but it has similarities.

He is happy when he hears the war. This is the result of Ying Yi's guidance all the time.

Of course, the news released by the empire is relatively vague. Except for those at the top of the pyramid who are very aware of it, the people are still a little confused.

However, the major adjustments of the imperial army and the continued recruitment and expansion of the army have sent a certain message to people.

If there are no opponents and no goals, the empire should not continue to expand its military but should reduce its military strength.

"Before the eighteenth year of the Chinese Era, the empire's total military strength must reach five million." This was the order issued by Ying Yi.

After more than ten years of development, the Great Xia Empire had only three million troops by the time it reached the first planet. This number is neither too much nor too little, and is closely related to the total population of the empire, the total population of this planet, and the efficiency of obtaining true spiritual numbers under the cover of Daxia's humanity.

Furthermore, the eliteness of the imperial army can make up for the lack of numbers.

Therefore, for such a large empire, the total population is nearly one billion, and it only has three million troops. The ratio is no more than one in three hundred.

Even if the army is expanded to five million, it will only be one in two hundred.

There is no question of whether they can afford it - with Ying Yi's current efficiency in obtaining true spiritual numbers, the empire can reach breakeven by raising another 10 million troops. Five million is a piece of cake.

Compared with conscription, the internal adjustments of the imperial army were also finalized at the end of the sixteenth year.

In addition to replacing old people with new ones, this adjustment also involves adjustments to military units.

The Army's establishment was slightly reduced, while the Air Force's establishment was increased, and the Navy was reduced to less than three theaters.

The development of the military is also closely related to social productivity. Under the premise that flying components are popularized in the military, the importance of the air force is further reflected, while the importance of the navy is exactly the opposite.

In Ying Yi's plan, the so-called arms will be mixed together in the future. There is no difference between the Air Force, Navy and Army. There is only one branch, the all-round branch.

Today's adjustment is just the first step towards mixing the arms.

The Navy was heavily cut, and there were big changes - the Navy was no longer responsible for surface combat, but underwater combat. As for the sea, it would be better to leave it to the Air Force.

Aren't targets on the sea just living targets for the Air Force?

Therefore, the navy's warships have evolved into closed ships similar to submarines. They are responsible for the space beneath the surface of the water and on the ocean floor.
