It was just a bowl of millet porridge. It took Tang Zude a full fifteen minutes before he could finish it slowly.

It took so long to calm everyone down.

From the early morning to the present, the Navy and the Army, and the ministers divided into two factions had a quarrel, just using fists and teeth.

What we are fighting for is not the scale of disarmament, but the time limit, limiting the time limit for arms.

In the words of Tang Zude, there is no need for the empire to speak out, but the great powers of the alliance group will not agree to the disarmament plan proposed by President Newland.

Without troops, how can we defend the war dividends we just obtained?

Don’t forget that the enemies of the great powers are not only other great powers, but also the rebellious forces of various colonies, and even the exploited classes at home. Even if the conflicts between the great powers no longer exist, they must maintain a strong enough military force to protect the core interests spread all over the world.

Having said that, if you don’t have enough military strength, why should you be called a great power?

For hundreds of years, no great power has been blown out by the mouths of idealists, whether it is an old empire or an emerging industrial power!

Newland Federation is no exception.

In this way, limiting the time limit for arms has become a key topic.

In this regard, the Army insisted on a ten-year period, while the Navy believed that it should be extended to twenty years.

Ten years and twenty years are different from each other, not just a period of time, nor is it the number in the article, but the overall strategy of the empire!

If it is ten years, the army will be the first priority and the strategy of going north and west is implemented; to ensure that in the next battle, it can sweep the entire huge land at a lightning speed; before other powerful powers complete the war mobilization, defeat the opponents on the huge land and push the front line to the Western Continent and Xuan Continent. After the situation on the ground battlefield is consolidated, turn the focus to the ocean and compete with the great powers for control of the ocean.

There is no doubt that the core of this strategy is land power.

The twenty-year plan is exactly the opposite.

With twenty years, there will be enough time to rebuild the navy, and the overall strategy of going south to the Fanyan Ocean and the East to the East is able to adopt the overall strategy of traveling south to the Fanyan Ocean; to ensure that after the war breaks out, the surrounding areas can be controlled, the main resource source areas can be preserved, and the defense barrier will be established around the empire's homeland. After consolidating the basic market, we will advance steadily and steadily based on maritime power and defeat the opponents we encounter one by one.

The core of this strategy is maritime power.

To be rational, the latter is definitely more secure.

The Army's strategy was actually a desperate bet, betting on all the bets on the blitzkrieg in the early stages of the war.

Although during the introduction, the Army Commander-in-Chief clearly mentioned that using new technologies, the Army is expected to create miracles in the next war, Marshal Ma Zhongyi obviously forgot a problem that a few years ago, the Army also believed that it could defeat the Luosha Empire within a few months.

Even when the war was about to end, the Army was still emphasizing that it could defeat the Luosha Empire within a few months.

At the beginning, it was because he failed to defeat the Luosha Empire as planned and fell into the quagmire of a war of attrition that the situation was completely out of control.

From another perspective, if the Army wins a great victory after the war begins, the war will definitely end within two years.

In fact, the naval plan also has similar problems.

Because the naval construction cycle is longer, twenty years are not enough.

Interestingly, Zhu Shijian also emphasized new technologies.

The result was that Ma Zhongyi seized this problem and believed that the naval plan was also a desperate bet and that he might not be able to defeat the great powers in twenty years.

However, Zhu Shijian did not emphasize speed victory.

With the navy's plan, even if you win a great victory in the early stages of the war and win the strategic initiative in one fell swoop, it will take a steady step, take enough time and pay a huge price, and even have to go through repeated fierce battles to defeat all the great powers and achieve the final victory.

In addition, the naval program did not rely too much on allies.

Another point, Zhu Shijian didn't say anything at all.

If you follow the navy's routine completely, the period of strategic planning will not be twenty years, preferably thirty years, or at least twenty-five years.

As for decision makers, whether they can face and accept this cruel future is obviously a big problem.

After arguing all day, everyone was tired.

After Tang Zude put down the bowls and chopsticks, the conference room became quiet.

"Are everyone full? If you are full, let's continue."

No one answered, and everyone heard it. The prime minister's tone was obviously a little impatient. With Tang Zude's personality, it was impossible to explode when it would break out.

"I've been arguing for a whole day, but I haven't found any reason. If I ask me to say that if I continue to argue, I may not be able to get a result." Tang Zude's eyes swept across the faces of more than a dozen wartime cabinet officials. "I think everyone has made a move and it's decided."

Let each make a move!?

Now, more than a dozen cabinet officials all showed a look of surprise.

How can a major event related to the country’s destiny be so sarcastic!?

However, Tang Zude did not give anyone else a chance to speak.

"For fifteen years, both the Army and the Navy have re-programmed strategic development plans and handed them over before the end of the month at the latest, and others will be discussed separately."

"The Chief Supervisor..."

"Marson Ma Zhongyi, do you have any objections?"

Tang Zude suddenly pulled down his face and his tone became even more low. Ma Zhongyi's heart skipped a beat, closed his mouth, and looked at the commander-in-chief of the Navy opposite.

Ma Zhongyi is not stupid, he has already smelled the danger.

Don’t forget that Zhou Kuande is still lying on the bed of the Navy General Hospital.

Zhou Kuande's shot not only freed himself, but also brought the navy up.

What's the meaning?

He was lying in the hospital. Do the generals of the Navy who were pro-war factions dared to show off? Be honest, Zhu Shijian would be much easier to do.

But what about the Army?

If someone really needs to endorse the defeat, it must be Ma Zhongyi.

"Principal Zhu, do you have any objection?" Tang Zude also looked at Zhu Shijian.

Before entering politics, Tang Zude was also a naval officer. To be precise, he entered politics after retiring from the navy and was a graduate of the Navy Academy.

Of course, he is not a student of Zhu Shijian, because he is a few years older than Zhu Shijian.

"The Navy will submit it as soon as possible."

"That's good!" Tang Zude nodded slightly and said, "This matter is settled. If there is nothing else, we will end today."

Zhu Shijian sighed secretly. Tang Zude seemed to be going to make a big fight.

"In the end, I emphasize again." Tang Zude knocked on the table, attracting everyone's attention. "Although the war is about to be extinguished, we all know that the war will never end here. As the saying goes, get up wherever you fall. Whether it is ten years later or twenty years later, when the war reignites, the empire will face the test of life and death. Whether it can win the next war, create a stable environment for our descendants, and whether we can go to Jiuquan to meet our ancestors with a clear conscience depends on whether we can perform our duties and fulfill the obligations of the imperial subjects in the next ten years. Dear colleagues and ministers, I have always believed that as long as we work together, we will be able to overcome difficulties and rebuild glory!"

“Recast the glory!”

Although the cabinet members are all old men around 60 years old, when they shout loudly, they are all full of energy.
