Chapter 1900 Battle of the North Sea (46)

Upon hearing this, Saint Maz turned to Saint Nasshoulang and asked, "So how many elite troops do we have? What about the army?"

Nasshoulangsheng shook his head helplessly, indicating that he did not know the specific situation.

"We can't rely on those rubbish in the army!"

Nasu Shoulangsheng said with a look of disdain.

"Not even as good as the navy!"

His voice betrayed his profound contempt for the Army.

The Red Earth Continent has been peaceful for the past eight hundred years, with no major disturbances.

This has caused the army to gradually lose its meaning of existence and become dispensable.

The position of Field Marshal had been vacant for over a hundred years, and the only general had inherited the position through connections and was not a true master at all.

"These people are just useless wastes waiting to die!"

Nasu Shoulang Sheng continued to complain indignantly.

In his opinion, the army's strength was simply vulnerable and could not be compared with the navy at all.

The World Government has three major violent agencies: the Navy, the Army, and the Air Force.

Among these three, the navy is undoubtedly the most powerful.

Moreover, the navy's heritage has never been interrupted in these eight hundred years.

In order to deal with the pirates fleeing on the sea, every generation of the navy has the top strongmen in charge.

The current generation of navy can be said to be the most powerful period except for the first generation of navy.

They have six top-notch warriors, and their strength is so strong that even the core power figures like the Five Elders have to be wary of them.

Faced with such a powerful navy, the Five Elders naturally did not dare to force them easily, but instead adopted a negotiating approach to communicate with the navy.

Apart from the Navy, the strength of the other two institutions is relatively inferior.

The army has long lost its former glory and has become a decoration in name only.

Nasshoulangsheng did not elaborate on the current situation of the Air Force.

But from his evaluation of the Army, it can be inferred that the situation of the Air Force is probably not much better.

As a powerful department, the Air Force should have strong combat capabilities.

Because it belongs to the scientific research department, its combat effectiveness depends entirely on the support of science and technology, and its scale is relatively small, making it difficult to form effective combat effectiveness.

In contrast, the army used to be very powerful.

It stands alongside the navy, jointly safeguarding the country's security.

Ever since the Red Earth Continent was conquered and unified by the Celestial Dragons, the status of the Army has plummeted.

The once powerful army has now become vulnerable.

The soldiers were no longer as well-trained and fearless as they had been in the past, but were gradually becoming lazy and decadent.

This led to the continuous decline in the strength of the army, with each generation being weaker than the previous one.

What’s worse is that the army has now completely become a place where the powerful and wealthy collect salaries without doing any work.

Every year, the World Government allocates a huge amount of military funds to the Army, but these funds are often not actually used for the construction and development of the Army, but are divided up by the top generals.

This corruption seriously affected the Army's combat effectiveness and morale, and also caused the World Government to lose confidence in the Army.

Therefore, after careful consideration, the World Government resolutely decided to directly abolish the important position of Army Marshal.

This decision left this key position vacant for more than a hundred years, as if it had been forgotten by time.

When Peter Saint heard the news, he couldn't help but snort, which revealed his strong dissatisfaction and indignation with the current situation.

He knew the real situation of the army very well, and he could not calm down his anger towards the useless people in the army who were drawing salaries without working.

"Those guys in the army are just a bunch of parasites!"

Peter Saint said indignantly.

"The World Government's annual army quota is clearly to maintain 200,000 troops, but what's the reality? 99% of these 200,000 troops are just sitting there doing nothing! Of the entire army, there are probably less than 2,000 men who are actually capable of fighting!"

As the official in charge of finance, Peter was well aware of the situation of the army.

He knew clearly how serious the corruption problem in the army had become.

In the past, when finances were abundant, he might have turned a blind eye to the army's actions.

The world situation is now turbulent and the finances of the world government have become extremely tight. Naturally, he can no longer tolerate the army's behavior of drawing empty salaries.

"The Army can't continue like this. It must undergo a thorough overhaul! Those who need to be laid off must be laid off decisively, and those who need to be replaced must be replaced without mercy. We must kick out all those good-for-nothings who only know how to live off their ancestors and do nothing!"

Mazisheng's voice was low and serious, as if every word carried a heavy weight.

Although his words were harsh, the people present did not show any dissatisfaction or resistance.

In fact, ever since everyone learned that the Rockefeller Kingdom had successfully crossed the doldrums and launched an attack on the North Sea, they had become deeply aware that the world was undergoing an unprecedented huge change.

If the world government cannot adapt to the development of the times and make corresponding changes, then it is destined to be eliminated by the times and eventually fall behind.

But the reality today is that the world government has begun to lose ground in the competition with the Rockefeller Kingdom.

It is foreseeable that once other forces realize this and follow the Rockefeller Kingdom's example to explore the doldrums, the world's landscape will undergo earth-shaking changes.

The original world was divided into six parts: the East Sea, the West Sea, the South Sea, the North Sea, the first half of the Grand Route, and the second half of the Grand Route.

With the exploration and breakthroughs of various forces in the Calm Belt, this pattern will probably be completely broken, and the world may be redivided into two parts.

These six places are separated by the vast red soil continent and the turbulent doldrums, as if they were blocked by an unbridgeable chasm and never had any contact with each other.

This geographical isolation makes communication between regions extremely difficult and greatly restricts information exchange.

For the world government, such a geographical environment brings great convenience.

They can easily control various regions, and once a rebellion or unrest occurs in a certain place, due to geographical isolation, these events will often be confined to a relatively small area and will not have much impact on other areas.

In this way, the world government will be able to concentrate its forces to deal with these local problems quickly and effectively, ensuring that its own ruling position is not shaken.

If the doldrums are broken through, the situation will change fundamentally.
