Terra time:10.30

Location: Military Affairs Council

Thousands of Astra Militarum generals, marshals, and even lords from the Empire participated in this debate.

A faction composed of some Star Wars officers and Warhammer officers, mainly the old system faction, faced another group of various officers headed by the new system faction.

Thousands of seats were all occupied by officers, and they could be roughly divided into the following factions.

Old Establishment: Conservatives within the Empire

New System Faction: Military Reform Faction within the Empire

"Let's get started, long story short"

The person who took the lead in speaking was the old-style officer, General Cliff.

"First of all, on behalf of my colleagues, I would like to question the "Post-war Summary of Vlakos" and the "Draft for the Establishment of the New Army"!" General Cliff shouted sternly, and then stared at the new military officer opposite.

"turn down!"

A man wearing the garb of a lord general looked at General Cliff and replied.

"I think the damage to the 95 Astra Militarum, the Five Knights, and the 300 million robots is not that serious! All of this is within the acceptable range!" General Cliff ignored the veto of the Lord General, and then looked at The old-fashioned military officer beside him.

Several officers from the old-style faction nodded in approval, and then looked at the new-style faction opposite with mocking faces.

"Although this is not as serious as our original world, sir, let's ask ourselves, in which battle in this world have we lost so many soldiers?"

The one who spoke was the new-establishment officer, General Wenke. He looked at the old-establishment officer opposite and asked sternly.

"Do you know how many artillery shells we invested in this battle! Do you know how many times the navy fired light spears! We actually lost so many people despite such an advantage! We must reflect on our tactics!"

"General Wink! I'm sorry, sir. I don't think there are any casualties that are too large to accept. We not only recaptured an important planet, but also successfully attacked the enemy and dealt them a heavy blow. This is victory. Sacrifice is the cornerstone of the empire. We There is no guarantee that every war will be zero sacrifice!”

General Cliff raised his scepter and pointed at the opponent, and then shouted in an angry tone that they were proud of their sacrifice.

"Come on, this battle is just a medium-sized battle. The empire will face many such battles in the future. If we continue to fight like this, we will only lose more elite soldiers!"

General Wenke's words were unanimously recognized by the new-establishment generals, and even several old-establishment officers nodded in agreement.

"The empire is very big now..."

"Elite? No, no, no, we still have hundreds of billions of such troops! They are always ready to sacrifice for the future of the empire!"

General Cliff slapped the table several times, as if venting his anger.

"We do have tens of billions of troops like this, but let me ask you, we have just arrived in Central now, what about going on? What if they come too?" General Wenke asked in a low tone. road.

"So what in the middle?! The enemy only has one life, our bullets and robots are endless!"

General Cliff said without hesitation.

"What about the inner ring? Are we going to lose more manpower and material resources on a battlefield that is useless but like a puddle of mud?"

Following General Wenke's questioning, several officers from the old establishment looked at each other, but most of them were still unconvinced.

"Building a new army will only make the already bloated economy collapse further. We might as well recruit more Astra Militarum recruits! Only with enough numbers can we drown the enemy!"

But before he finished speaking, the servitor next to General Wenke displayed a huge holographic projection.

"These are various problems in this battle, including bloated command and problems with communication channels. This battle alone has exposed enough of our problems."

General Wenke pointed to the holographic projection in front of him, and then began to explain the key points of this battle.

"Listen, when I was fighting the aliens to the death, you were still studying in a certain world. We already have a large number of auxiliary troops and a massive slave army! When we seal the battlefield, the enemy's ammunition will be much greater than that of the alien slaves. Can there be more robots?"

An old-fashioned officer stood up, pointed at General Wenke opposite and shouted.

"You were still wearing a loincloth when I was participating in the Siege of Terra!"

A new-style general stood up and shouted at the old-style general who had just shouted.

"I fought no better at the Battle of Coruscant than you did!" shouted another general from Star Wars.

"What if there is a production line in the enemy's world in the future! They can still produce ammunition tanks! So what should we do? Continue to fight?"

While both sides were shouting, a new general sneered at the old general with disdain.

"Where can the enemy's factories be built, and where will the enemy's support be? Their combatants are constantly decreasing, and my artillery fire is endless!"

"Or, let me ask everyone here, can the empire afford so many troops, Minister of Finance! Tell me what the empire's economy is like!"

The young general looked at the Finance Minister who was eating melon next to him. At this time, the Finance Minister stood up with a confused look and cleared his throat and said: "Based on the current situation, I can definitely say that more and more people are The territory has led to the collapse of the economy. We are unable to control the economy of the entire empire. At least we can only use the throne currency system to maintain the status quo."

At this moment, a great sage from the Reformist Mechanicus stood up and said slowly: "I must say, sir, although I am not familiar with the economic aspect, but in terms of technology, the new artillery we are researching will be better than ours." Existing artillery fires more accurately and has a longer range.”

These words of the Mechanicus magus undoubtedly changed the point of the argument.

"So what about our current equipment? The establishment of new armies will only increase more and more, so who will use our current equipment? Who will recycle it! Will there be traitors who will use it to aid those damn rebels and aliens? "

A somewhat rational old-school military officer put forward an opinion, but the great sage released a video first.

"This is a Leman Russ M model. In the experiment, it withstood the plasma projectile that could have penetrated the Leman Russ at a distance of 800 meters. This is enough."

"As for the problem you mentioned, we also have corresponding countermeasures in assisting the enemy."

The Mechanicus sage moved out a piece of production line data and started playing it.

"Our current production line has the capacity to manufacture hundreds of these tanks a day, as well as this new type of suicide drone, as well as integrated surveillance and combat drones. We can ensure that they will not fall into the hands of the enemy."

"The production time of high-precision equipment is too long for us now, and there is a shortage of high-quality personnel. You are really willing to simplify the incense ceremony! The fall of the golden age is vividly before our eyes, everyone!"

"I believe in our colleagues, they have taken care of everything."

The new-system officer looked at the Star Wars officer beside him, and then said to the old-system officer opposite.

"Does the empire have the strength to equip the entire army with the ability to control new equipment in the future? Can there really be that many high-quality arms? Can the Chungji Academy be busy?"

A new military officer heard this question and then released another piece of data.

"We will only select a small number of troops to equip these weapons in the future. If the situation allows, we will build more, and we believe that Zhongsi Academy will train more technical talents for us." General Wenke looked at the old-school officers opposite him truthfully said.

"Maybe in the future, but not now!" Battles are constantly breaking out, and we must first eradicate the enemies in front of us! "

"Do you take out your gun when the enemy has the dagger to his neck?"

"But when the enemy picks up the dagger, I have already pointed the gun at his head!"

The new-system officer on the opposite side shouted at the old-system officer, and the quarrel in the hall could not stop for a long time.

"Damn it! It's a duel"

Seeing that no one could not convince the other, the officers from both sides drew out their ceremonial swords one after another. They wanted to convince the other party in the oldest way.

"The Emperor thinks you have had enough..."

The Imperial Guard wearing golden armor had appeared at the door at some point, and his eyes under his helmet were staring at everyone in the room.
