Chapter 430 The Poorest Emperor

"Why, because the emperor of the Sword Empire can't marry an unclean woman. I can stay with you like Anne, but you can't marry me!" Lin Ria said with a red face.

"This won't work!" Arcado shook his head: "I have wanted to marry you for a long time, many years ago! So you must marry me."

"If you force me, I'd rather leave now." Lin Ria said with a straight face.

"You! Don't say leave me again! You will be by my side all your life! All my life!" Arcado hugged Linria and said.

"Well, if I open that knot, I will promise to marry you, okay?" Lin Ria said with a smile, "Until then, you can't force me to marry you."

"Okay." Arcado nodded helplessly: "I don't want to force you, but you have to promise me that no matter what happens, you won't leave me!" Until I die!"

Lin Ria stretched out her slender fingers and pressed them on Akado's thin lips: "Don't talk nonsense! I can't live without you! Now I don't have the courage to leave you." After saying that, she blushed and leaned against Arcado's chest.

"Ye, remember your oath! We will be together for a lifetime!" Arcado hugged Lin Ria in his arms and closed his eyes.

"Promise me that if you dislike me one day, don't drive me away, okay?" Lin Ria looked into Arcado's eyes and said with red eyes.

"When did I dislike you?" Arcado was stunned and then kissed Lin Ria's lips: "You are like breathing. Everything about you has been integrated into my blood and can't be peeled off."

"Ye, me too!" Lin Ria happily painted on Akado's chest and looked at Akado with a sweet smile. There were still tears in the corners of her eyes. She looked cute and distressing.

Acado laughed: "I'm going to have a meeting. You won't be gone when you come back, will you?"

"I'll wait for you to come back. Don't worry." Lin Ria said with a smile.

When Arcado came to the palace and boarded the car, Lin Ria waved goodbye to him next to the gate, like a wife who sent her husband to work.

For the first time, Arcado was late for the combat meeting. He awkwardly walked to his position in front of a group of generals in the military headquarters: "I'm sorry, I'm late."

He bowed deeply to the two marshals, four*, more than a dozen* and more than 40 major generals, all of whom stood up without any surprise.

In the sword empire, wrong is wrong. No one will excuse themselves. Everyone has become accustomed to it. It is because there is no saint that a god was born, a god in the hearts of countless sword empire people.

The deployment of radio on the Eastern Front is too slow! It has seriously affected the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the troops! I need more radio!" McVlon complained loudly at the beginning of the meeting.

"The navy now needs a lot of radio equipment. The popularization of warships has not been completed. More than half of the destroyers do not have radio equipment, and the Marine Corps also lacks such equipment! If it goes on like this, we will suffer a lot in the battle!" Sean also said to Arcado.

"I have nothing to say about the importance of equipping the air force with radio, but at least leave a little for our army, right? This is really frustrating. The Air Force accounts for 70% of the radio equipment production!" Army*, General Valandu, Chief of Staff, said.

Hubert, Minister of Industry, stood up: "Generals, now the Ministry of Industry is increasing radio production, and the three armies are changing equipment, which is really a huge number. Now the daily output of radios is close to 100, but it still can't meet the equipment requirements of the three armies. Again, we need time."

"Now the newly replenished tanks and aircraft account for more than half of the radio production. The Ministry of Industry is really busy. Tanks, army, aircraft, air force, etc., warships and navy urge. After all, the production capacity is limited." Yu Qian shook his head and sighed.

"First of all! The production capacity of the Ministry of Industry must be further improved! This is the consensus!" Arcado stood up, walked to the map, pointed to the location of Newport and said, "With the loss of Newport, we are missing an important industrial base. Now South Dorfos, North Dorfos, and Buck are going to further industrialize!" Move the magic cannonballs to these provinces for production! The magic cannon technology is not a secret, and it should be moved over! Everything that can be produced there is put there! Build a new radio production plant on the outskirts of Romer! Immediately!"

He paused and continued to order: "The city of Belote continues to expand! I'm going to build four new tank factories there! Build two aircraft manufacturing plants in Elf Province! Used to produce bombers! There are also transport planes!"

"I order! The Nemesis Project will be officially implemented today! The Sword Empire fully implements the Wartime Act! Prepare for the war! Expand 1 million regular troops! I don't care what weapons these 1 million troops have! I don't care what equipment they have! I want my army to reach 3.5 million troops on the east and west!"

"Yes!" All the generals and ministers stood up and answered.

Arcado looked at the map of the Elf Forest and glanced at everyone present with his slender eyes: "Gentlemen, the fate of the Sword Empire, the fate of mankind, victory or defeat in this battle! Please do your best!"

The meeting was called in a mountain, "Honor of His Majesty Saint Rudolph God Arcado!" At the end of the voice, the personnel of the army and civil affairs departments have dispersed.

Hubert came to Arcado and said softly, "Last year, the total investment of the construction project of the Ministry of Industry was 2.1 billion gold coins, and thousands of factories were expanded. If it is expanded again this time, it may affect the quality of some products."

On the other hand, Aiwen of the Ministry of Commerce also took a step forward and said to Arcado: "Last year alone, the army consumed more than 20 million tons of supplies, replenishing troops, appeasing the deaths in battle, and training new recruits cost more than 2 billion gold coins!"

He paused and seemed to be waiting for Arcado to digest: "The Ministry of Commerce spends more than 140 million gold coins, mainly for expanding business and building a financial system. The development funds and operation funds of the Ministry of Industry have a total of 2.9 billion gold coins.

Arcado was stunned. He really didn't expect that he would spend so many gold coins in a year. He looked at his Minister of Commerce, Ai Wen, and asked, "What else?"

"Your Majesty, these are not the most deadly." Minister Elvin wiped the sweat on his head and reported to Arcado: "The cost of the civil affairs department is the largest. In the past year, Vera's household department has spent a total of 8.7 billion gold coins! Among them, railway construction, road construction, people's resettlement costs and the restoration of occupied areas have changed you from the richest person in the world to the poorest person.

"The poorest person?" Arcado was stunned and looked at Evan: "How much do I owe?"

"Now our expenses are actually close to 1.5 billion gold coins that cannot be cashed in cash. Because of our good reputation, we have been using gold tickets as a cash currency. In other words, the Holy Sword Empire has lost more than 1.5 billion gold coins."

Akado's head was a little big, and he knew that no matter how exhausted he was, it was not easy to control a huge empire.

He covered his face and asked Evan, "How long will it take to recover?"

"Your Majesty, if the war stops, it will take about 20 months to fully restore the gold coin reserves." Elvin analyzed: "If the Nemesis Project is fully launched, you will face at least 3 billion gold coins in debt after victory. If you fail, you can declare bankruptcy."

"If we win, how long will it take for the economy to recover?" Arcado didn't care about defeat. The war was a big gamble.

"Because of victory, we can save about part of the troops in the Elf Forest, including the recovery of Elf Forest compensation and potential benefits. In addition, after the full victory of the war, your improved reputation and the return on business investment, 3 billion gold coins will take you to repay for about 7 months to 8 months." Elvin said in a low voice.
