Youna stopped Tang long and said: "Lord, this is very good. The title and rank are calculated completely according to the real meritorious deeds. I believe everyone will recognize the accuracy of this ranking." Seeing that Tang long wanted to speak, Youna said first: "you don't have to worry about those officials and soldiers at all. We leaders have been demoted so much that it is impossible for them to say anything after their demotion."

"but isn't it strange? We have occupied so many planets, how can there be so few school officers? " Tang long said eagerly.

Everyone was stupefied when they heard this. Yes, after occupying so many planets, at least several generals will appear according to their meritorious efforts. Why are there only three school-level officers so pitiful now? Is there something wrong with the computer?

Sally suddenly remembered something with a smile and said, "Lord, have you forgotten?" The troops that occupy so many planets are beluga warships. "

Tang long said puzzled: "Yes, so many planets are shot down by beluga warships, how can no one become a general according to meritorious service?". " Speaking of this, Tang long finally remembered and shouted, "Oh, my God!" The beluga ships are all driven by robots! "

The girls were relieved when they heard this. Yes, all the people who have done these great credits are robots, and the data of these robots are not in the files, so of course there will be no officers.

"but how can I explain it to the soldiers? Do you mean to tell them that all the people who have done great things for us are robots? " Tang long said distressed.

After thinking for a moment, Sally said, "you can say that the mercenaries who have done great service for us are Miss Tang Xing's mercenaries, so they did not get the rank but the money, or you can say that the beluga warship is your pro-guard, and the military merit is calculated separately."

Una chimed in: "the problems with titles and ranks may be due to our demotion, so there will be no problems." However, as a result, their wages have also dropped substantially, which may have a significant impact on our people's livelihood. In order to solve this problem, I suggest you, my lord, increase the salary of these ranks and titles so that they can still receive their original salary after demotion. "

Liwu then said: "Yes, this also has advantages, indicating that our titles and ranks are very difficult to promote, ensuring the nobility and authority of titles and ranks." Unlike in the past, teenagers hang around with the rank of major general. Moreover, the substantial increase in wages has laid the foundation for the importance of title and rank. To think that a second lieutenant can receive the salary of a major in the Wulai army shows how strong our army is. "

After hearing this, Tang long said hesitantly, "although this has solved most of the problems, what about the fleet formation?" According to the calculation of the computer, we have only two brigadiers and three majors. "

Sally immediately said, "this is simple. The officers of one X battleship are staff sergeants, the commanders of 10 warship squadrons are Warrant officers, the commanders of 50 warship squadrons are second lieutenants, the commanders of 100 warship brigades are lieutenants, the commanders of 1000 warship brigades are captains or captains, the commanders of 5000 warship divisions are lieutenants, and why not the commanders of 5000 warships are colonels or brigadiers?"

"all of them have been downgraded by three levels." Tang long thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it. Anyway, after all, we can change it back when our officer rank is reached."

"so when is the Lord going to release the news?" Li Wu asked.

"you first publish the computer calculation of the merit, and then wait a few hours before you post the browsing website of the ranking of military and political officials, and at the same time broadcast the tripling of the salary." Tang long said.

When Liwu nodded and was about to leave, Elsie, who ran to check the computer, said in surprise: "look at the honor ranking, that Chen Kang has become a first-class honor duke!" Everyone was stupefied for a moment, but unexpectedly, Chen Kang, the guy, stood in the highest position.

Tang long suddenly said, "Oh, my God, the upgrade conditions of this computer program are too harsh, aren't they?" Chen Kang can get us 6, 000 X warships and 120000 high-end transport ships. How can you believe that such a great service is only a first-class Duke of Honor? At least it has to be a first-class king. "

Una nodded and said, "it's better to be a little harsh. it shows that our titles are harsh, but it also shows that those who can be canonized are the elites of the elite, and those shrewd businessmen will be difficult to judge because of this." will be desperate to trade to raise taxes to increase their contribution. "

"Sister, you are paying more and more attention to money." While everyone nodded secretly, they all teased Una one after another.

Una also scolded with a smile: "pfft, I, the finance minister, do not strive to make money, do I have to spend desperately?" Be careful that I will deduct your wages! "

"Wow, we don't dare, big sister, if you dare to deduct our wages, we'll go to the eldest sister's parents to stay and eat for a long time!" The girls burst out laughing. A news that caused a sensation among the army and people in Tang long's territory appeared on TV during their fight.

"Hmm? What does it say on TV? A central computer-controlled merit promotion system? What is this? " People who drink and chat in a bar can't help asking the people around them when they see the news on TV.

"I don't know. I seem to say that in the future, both the rank of the government and the rank of the army will be promoted according to the real meritorious deeds. And determine in the form of law that no one, except the supreme commander-in-chief, can promote the title and rank of anyone without going through the merit evaluation system. "

"well, so it's not going to happen? In this way, won't there be any competition for merit? "

"probably not. All the merit will be recorded by the central computer all over the planet, and the credit is clear, and it can't even be done by fraud. This is really an excellent move. I am not afraid that those officials will not do things in a down-to-earth manner. "

"Oh, these things are good for us ordinary people, but I wonder if those officials will object?"

"Oh, you think we are practicing democratic politics here, opposing the policy of the supreme commander-in-chief? Either you resign, or you go somewhere else, or you have to obey orders. "

"well, if the above faithfully implement this system, our Datang will certainly become more and more powerful."

"of course. Come on, cheers!"

"Cheers!"

Tang long immediately excitedly found Liwu after watching the news, and as soon as he saw her, he asked loudly, "what's going on?" Isn't it said that no one, including me, can be appointed at will? How can it be that no one but me can be appointed at will? "

Li Wu did not care about Tang long's menacing manner. After holding his glasses gracefully, Li Wu said in a calm tone: "Lord, in any country in the universe, except for those puppets abroad, no country's supreme commander-in-chief does not have the power of personnel appointment." And although this computer merit promotion system is very good, it is only applicable in times of peace, not in times of war. If you encounter a crisis and need the ability of an officer to command the army to break through, but this officer does not perform any meritorious service at ordinary times, the rank is very low, and the army does not obey his orders at all, what do you think should be done at this time? " Li Wu continued without waiting for Tang long's answer: "at this time, as long as you appoint him as the supreme commander of the army, those troops will follow orders and thus get out of danger." Do you still ask that no one, including you, can be appointed at will? "

Tang long was stupefied for a long time with his mouth open. He understood that what Li Wu said was correct and that this kind of power of temporary appointment was needed in times of crisis. Tang long thought for a moment, and finally had no choice but to scratch his head, said sorry to Liwu, and then turned around and ran away. That made Liwu laugh.

The news not long ago only gave everyone one more topic to talk about, and it didn't cause much shock, but it caused a real sensation when the military and political ranking website came out.

It is the same bar, when the website appears, the guests of the bar ask the boss to enter this URL to have a look. When the government title page appeared, everyone froze. They were surprised to find that the four monarchs, who had been high above, had fallen several grades and become first-class Marquis! There was only one minister of law left in the count below, and all the others were demoted to viscount and so on, and the lowest lords were so dense that it seemed that most of the officials had fallen to this rank.

Unlike the general public, people in the army are not the first to see the government web page, they are the first to see the military web page. Like other people, they are silly at first sight. Two generals were demoted to brigadier generals, and those three brigadiers were demoted to majors! The span of the demotion is too big for their tongues to stick out. However, when the soldier found his name, he was not very excited except that he did not understand it, for the two generals and three brigadiers set an example. From the demotion of a general to a brigadier general and from a brigadier general to a major, everyone realized that they would also be demoted by about three levels. When he saw that his rank of captain had really become the rank of Warrant Officer, he was psychologically prepared and could only shake his head bitterly and sigh.

Officials who see themselves demoted so much dare not say a word. First, this is a dictatorship, and there is nothing to keep talking about what the supreme commander-in-chief says. Second, the four kings with the highest titles have been directly reduced to the first-class Marquis, what else can they say? However, speaking of which, there seems to be no change in the positions of myself and these adults, that is to say, apart from the demotion of the title, my power is still the same as before, and since there is nothing to say about it.

Most let these demoted personnel calm, even excited with the news announced by that website: all titles, ranks and salaries will be increased by three times on the original basis! Originally, the salary is high enough, but now the salary is three times higher. I'm afraid that the wages of these people are the highest in the universe, right? If that's the case, isn't Datang the most powerful country? Hey, hey, it's just a fantasy.

Unlike those military and political personnel, the businessmen all carried out trade operations with red eyes, because they saw in that honorary title column that Chen Kang had won the title of first-class honorary duke! In other words, in the whole Tang Dynasty, except the supreme commander, anyone who saw him had to salute, which was equal to the second most honorable person in the country! ******! I must work hard. When I get a third-class duke, I will become the third honorable man! The businessmen knew that Chen Kang had made tens of thousands of warships for Tang long, and he was so self-aware that he dared not compete with Chen Kang for the position of the second most honored man.

The problem of the reform of the promotion system passed so lightly that Tang long did not even have to explain why the officers of the beluga warship did not have a problem with a school officer. Is it too simple for him to think about Datang all day long that he will not suspect such an obvious strange thing? Without paying attention to this, Chen Kang, who concentrated on setting up enterprises and arms factories in various places, found that people, officials, and soldiers all saluted themselves, and at a time when their self-esteem was extremely inflated, they began to like Datang more and more.

Time passed quickly for three months, during which Tang long did not make any military action at all, either training the six brigades made up of X battleships and the beluga brigade driven by elite soldiers, or the nearly finished fortress that ran to Weiwuxing to deal with him. In the meantime, he also met with Star Zero several times, but either Tang long hid from Star Zero, or Xing Zero hid from Tang long, and everyone left after saying two words. But in these few words, they both constantly explore each other's eyes, and both avoid each other's eyes. It made Una and Elsie want to tie them up and lock them up in the same room.

During these three months, they began to work hard to build planets, trying to digest and appease the six planets of the Li family, which should actually be the resources and people of the five planets. Apart from those who have surrendered, Weiwuxing has no other people. Now Weiwuxing has become a big factory, where there is too much metal.

In addition to taking care of enterprises while taking care of the arms factory in the 12 planets of Datang, excluding Earth Star, Chen Kang is always looking for opportunities to get that jumping device behind Tang long. He once reported this information to the company, which asked him to negotiate terms with Tang long after confirming that the jumping device was effective, and said that if the jumping device was effective, he could exchange 10,000 X warships. Chen Kang is quick-mouthed and has not yet proved the effect of the jumping device just like Tang long said this price, but it is a pity that he was rejected by Tang long. After the company got this report, don't know what happened. not only did it not blame Chen Kang for his quick mouth, but when it was not clear whether the jumping device was useful, it began to increase 20,000, 40,000, 60,000 each time it was rejected by Tang Long. all the way up to the price of 100,000 X warships to exchange with Tang long.

Unfortunately, Tang long once again firmly refused, from Tang long's manner, Chen Kang knew that no matter how much it cost, Tang long would not agree. Come to think of it, if you had such a mobile fortress that no one in the universe has but yourself, you wouldn't be stupid enough to trade with others. Because he who has such a weapon will eventually get the whole universe, and by then there will be nothing. It was also at this moment that Chen Kang began to guess whether the "unified universe" that Tang long once said was his true wish. However, I do not know why, after Chen Kang reported that the price of 100,000 warships was rejected and Tang long's attitude, the company did not mention this matter to itself again. It seems that the company has to wait for the performance of the jump device before making a decision. However, since this is the case, why did they try their best to increase the fees and charges in the first place, as if they would not give up? I don't know what the people up there think.

On that day, Chen Kang followed Tang long to Weiwuxing, but he found on the screen that the fortress, made up of countless pieces of diamond-shaped white metal about 30 square meters in size, was not as lively as it used to be. Today, with the exception of a fleet of beluga warships, the engineers and transport ships, as well as those engineering frames, have disappeared. The shell of the fortress has also become very clean, and the white bell shines brightly. And the one in the middle of the fortress represents the identity to which the fortress belongs, and a huge blue background and white dragon military emblem is even more imposing.

"Why? Is it finished? " Chen Kang asked.

"well, today is a trial voyage. In addition to a hundred beluga warships ready for battle, there are 100000 fortress operators. How's it going? Are you interested in going on a trial voyage with me? " Tang long said with a smile. For the trial voyage of the fortress, he also vacated dozens of beluga warship robots to control the fortress.

Chen Kang looked at the warship he was on and found that there were no other officials and officers except himself and Tang long. Seeing this, Chen Kang could not help thinking: "after Tang long implemented the new promotion system, it is very difficult to see lieutenant officers in a warship." Among other forces, lieutenant officers must be caught one by one, but here in Datang, lieutenant officers are commanders who can command dozens of warships. Outsiders thought that Datang had many soldiers and few generals, but who knew that a major in Datang had the command ability of a general? It seems that Tang long's restructuring is fake, and Tibet will be true. "

Although Chen Kang had wild thoughts in his head, this did not prevent him from answering Tang long's words: "of course, I have not yet rode in a fortress that is going to jump in space. I am afraid it will not be long before we will be recorded in the annals of history."

"Oh? Don't you think about it? It's dangerous. Look, I didn't even ask Sally to come. " Tang long narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"it doesn't matter. You have a commander-in-chief in the fortress. I have nothing to be afraid of." Chen Kang said proudly. He has to be arrogant, because if Tang long dies because of the failure of the jump, then the general manager will lose the qualification to compete as a director, and he will definitely be angry by the general manager. Now, I absolutely can't tolerate myself living a life without power and status in the past. in this case, I might as well accompany Tang long to try my luck. Today, I did not inform the general manager of the trial voyage, although I knew that the general manager would definitely let himself stop Tang long after he learned that Tang long personally carried out the jump trial. The general manager has not seen Tang long face to face. If he has, he will know that Tang long is a man who can't change his mind. Since you can't stop it, why notify the general manager to make trouble for yourself?

"good! Very courageous. Come on, let's get on the landing craft. " Tang long took him away without waiting for Chen Kang to speak.

As the landing craft got closer and closer to the sparkling fortress, Chen Kang suddenly realized that the fortress was not small and huge. Also, a metal ball with a diameter of more than one thousand kilometers is nothing small for human beings. But for a planet, it becomes a little small.

The fortress, named Yinjia fortress by Tang long, quietly split a passage just enough to accommodate the landing craft. Pointing to this passage, Tang long introduced to Chen Kang: "because now we are in a landing craft, that is why we open such a small passage." If you come in a battleship, it will open a passage just enough for the battleship to pass through. The main purpose of this design is to save unnecessary energy waste. "

"Save energy?" Chen Kang smiled: "for your fortress main gun with a diameter of 50 kilometers, it takes 50 million degrees of energy to fire each time." Your 30,000 fortress guns with a diameter of 30 meters also need more than 10 million degrees of energy for each simultaneous firing. I don't know how much energy is used for space jumping, but I think it definitely exceeds the energy consumed by the main gun, not to mention the energy required for your 3 million-degree shield. You have so much energy here, why save a little energy to move a few armor decks? "

"it is because they consume so much energy that they want to save every degree of energy as much as possible." Tang long said with a smile. Having said that, the way he looks is not the case at all.

At the time of Tang long and Chen Kanghara, the four remaining forces in the Tianhe galaxy-the Chen family, the Shangguan family, the Sheng Wu Empire and the Witt Empire-were gathering in the capital palace of the Victor Empire for secret talks.

A small living room, surrounded by resplendent, antique decoration. There is a beautiful and priceless blanket in the middle of the living room, but it is a pity that it is not cherished by the owner. A square table made of jade crushed it to death. In addition to the four luxurious single deserts in the four directions of the table, there are also eight feet wearing different models and styles of leather boots, which are also pressed on the blankets.

Sitting at the top of the square table was a middle-aged man with a hollowed-out round crown and a big beard. He was the emperor of the Victor Empire, Vibivette. On his left is a middle-aged man in Confucian clothes, with a long face and an indifferent manner. He is Chen Lin, the head of the Chen family. On the right of Emperor Waite is a big man in black tights with two beards on the corners of his mouth. He is the head of the Shangguan family, Shangguanwu. Opposite Emperor Witt was a bright yellow silk suit with several strange snakes embroidered on his chest, a bright yellow silk suit with very broad sleeves, a beard of about ten centimeters on his chin and slender eyes. But what is more strange is that he wears a hat with many beads on his head. With the slightest movement of his head, these beads are dangling to and fro. He is Zhong Zhen, the emperor of the Sheng Wu Empire.

"your excellencies, this time the emperor asked you to come here mainly to discuss the affairs of Datang." Emperor Vibivette, as the host, said in a loud voice.

"Oh, your country is 108000 miles away from Datang, why are you so worried about Datang, which is so far away?" It was Emperor Zhong Zhen who said this. His Sheng Wu Empire and the Witt Empire used to fight because they were in the same system, so it's a little aggressive now. Although they haven't been at war for a while, their previous resentment won't go away so quickly. If Emperor Webby had not publicly vowed on the reputation of his ancestors not to harm the leaders who came to the meeting, I am afraid no one would have come to his palace.

Speaking of the armistice, it was also caused by Tang long's unexpected and random attack on other systems. They are ready to take a look at the situation, and if Tang long is not sanctioned by the chaos-free system, they are prepared to operate on the two family-system countries around them. Despite the fact that there are seven planets in the Shangguan family and eight in the Li family, their strength is still far behind that of the two empires. Although the six planets of Shengwu are two less than the eight planets of Witt, they are equal in strength. Eating persimmons to find soft pinch, it is not surprising why they targeted the Shangguan family and the Chen family after they stopped the war.

Of course, Shangguan Wu and Chen Lin understood what the two empires were up to. At ordinary times, there was a lot of friction between them and their own side of the border, and if they had not put up with it, the two empires would have used this as an excuse to send troops. So when they saw both of them talking, they were silent.

Emperor Weibi frowned and said, "Don't be prejudiced, Emperor Zhong Zhen. We are all in the Tianhe star region, and we were born and raised here anyway." Datang was so menacing that it didn't take long to annex the six planets of the Li family, so of course we have to be vigilant. Do you think that guy with such a good appetite will stop after swallowing the Li family? You know, that guy Tang long doesn't care about the differences between family, monarchy, democracy and religion. He is used to swallowing it in one gulp. Are you going to let him engulf us one by one in his spare time and complete the unity of the Tianhe galaxy? "

Hearing this, everyone frowned. Both the Shangguan family and the Chen family hoped that this meeting would form an alliance, because even if Tang long abided by this unwritten agreement not to attack other forces of different institutions, the power of his own family system would certainly be the target of his attack. So the two of them looked at each other first, and then nodded. After the two families had a tacit understanding, Shangguan Wu first said, "I don't know how everyone is going to resist Tang long's offensive." You know, he has thousands of warships and tens of thousands of transport ships, and we can't make it through a protracted war. "

The Emperor Webby immediately continued, "since we have a common enemy, let's talk about a result as soon as possible." As a sign of honesty, let's talk about our family. We, the Victor Empire, have stepped up their combat readiness during this period, and now have 3000 warships of various types and a large number of excellent fighters. "

Hearing what Emperor Zhong Zhen said was the same as the information collected by his intelligence agents, and knowing that he was sincere, Zhong Zhen also said, "after years of preparation for war, the Empire of Sheng Wu has 2500 warships. Of these, 1500 are X warships of the same type, and about 1000 are ordinary warships of various types. There are plenty of soldiers. "

"Ah? X battleship? Isn't that Tang Longqi's warship? Where did you get it? How come my arms dealers don't have such goods? " Cried Webby in surprise. Since Tang long relied on the X battleship to rise in the chaos-free galaxy, the X battleship has been favored by many forces, and the business of Chen Kang's organization is really good.

"Oh, we have different arms dealers and different ways, so it's not surprising that I can buy X battleships." Zhong Zhen, who felt better than Webby in the performance of the battleship, said proudly.

Feeling that Zhong Zhende meant that Wilbur hum was silent, he muttered to himself, "what are you so proud of? I have 500 more warships than you!" After thinking about this, he immediately scolded: "Damn spy, even do not know the news of Shengwu has 1500 X warships, really damn it!"

Shangguan Wu ignored the struggle between them and said to himself, "my Shangguan family has 2000 X warships, and the soldiers are all elites!" As soon as his voice fell, Chen Lin said in a plain voice: "the Chen family has 2000 X warships, with sufficient troops."

Hearing this, Webby and Zhong Zhenxin were shocked. These two families usually do not say a word, unexpectedly quietly eliminated those previous warships and replaced them all with X battleships! And there are 2000 each!

"Damn spies!" The curse sounded in the hearts of the two emperors at the same time.

Webby adjusted his mood and said happily, "well, now our four families have a total of 9500 warships, which is a very large number. I think we could have 500 warships coming and going in a chaos-free galaxy." When Webby said this, he found that everyone's eyes turned to other places. Knowing that they didn't like it, he couldn't help saying, "so which gentleman knows Datang's information?" Let's make an analysis. Oh, Lord Shangguan, you have just given a rough figure, so it's up to you. "

Shangguanwu nodded impolitely and said directly: "as the Li family and I are closest to Datang, when Datang unified the Zhongzhou star region, I already began to collect information about Datang." According to the latest intelligence, Tang long has just bought 3000 X warships. Together with the warships he bought before, he has a total of more than 7000 warships. There are 6000 X warships and 1000 beluga warships. "

Webby swallowed saliva: "6,000 X warships?" He was well aware of the ability of X warships, so he looked everywhere for arms dealers who could sell such warships, but unfortunately he could not find them. He did not know that his subordinates had been cheated by arms dealers and did not go to other arms dealers at all. Otherwise, like the organization to which Chen Kang belongs, which is spread all over the chaos-free galaxy, how could it not be found?

When Weibi heard that Datang had 6000 X warships, he knew that his 3,000 ordinary warships could only be used as targets. Originally frustrated, he suddenly thought, "well, the Chen family, Shangguan family, and Shenwu country have a total of 5500 X warships, which must be X warships versus X warships." If they both lose, isn't it time to pick up bargains for my 3,000 battleships? Hey, hey, when their strength is extremely depleted and their strength is greatly damaged, I just. Hee hee. " He immediately brightened at the thought of this.

When Zhong Zhen heard the name of the beluga warship, he immediately asked, "what kind of warship is that beluga warship?" How is the performance? "

"the data on Moby Dick battleships are not clear, because only Tang long owns the whole chaos-free system, and we don't know where he bought it. The performance of this kind of warship. " Shangguanwu paused and suddenly began to talk about other topics: "when the Li family first took the initiative to attack Caesar in Datang, they sent 500 troops." The Datang army, which defended Caesar, had only 100 beluga warships. Before they saw any sign of the enemy, most of the Li family were killed by long-range shooting by the beluga warships, and in the end, the Li fleet withdrew less than 1/5 troops at the time of the battle. The last time the Li family went to Datang, they gathered together a total of 1500 warships. But only 200 were wiped out by 900 beluga warships, and in the end, these 200 warships were forced to surrender, which can be said to be wiped out. "

"500900 dozen 1500?" After a whisper, Chen Lin asked, "how is the damage to the beluga warship in these two battles?"

Shangguan Wu said with a wry smile: "the first time was a long-range shot, unscathed, and the second time, although there was some damage, there was no one less than one of the 900 warships."

Hearing this, everyone's face immediately turned livid. They had thought that the combination of their four families with 9500 warships should be very powerful, and they would certainly be able to destroy Datang. But now it seems that, not to mention the 6000 X warships of Tang long, the 1,000 beluga warships alone are enough to show themselves, and even talk about destroying Datang.

For a moment, no one spoke, and everyone was thinking about the problem. But suddenly the sound of hasty footsteps from outside the door woke them up at once. As they turned to look at the gate, a palace guard had pushed open the door and knelt quickly on the ground, shouting anxiously, "your Majesty, a huge armed fortress of the Tang Dynasty suddenly appeared in outer space of the capital!"

"Ah? The armed fortress of Datang?! " Hearing this, the four leaders exclaimed at the same time.
