Seeing the doubts of Manchu civil and military affairs, and watching Ying Ji's look of expectation and encouragement sitting on the seat of the emperor, Bismarck knew that he could no longer remain silent like this.

Only by dispelling the suspicion of Manchu civil and military affairs and gaining the respect of hundreds of civil and military officials can we show that His Majesty's decision is correct and highlight our value.

As a result, Bismarck, a blond, blue-eyed, European-German descent, was also the first non-Chinese person in the empire to serve as the head of such an important authority.

And the opening is not a barbarian language, but a fluent Chinese accent.

"Your Majesty, ministers, Bismarck believes that you all know something about the ocean."

"In the ocean, there are countless huge resources, and it is also a necessary way to the world!"

"Only by developing the navy and controlling the oceans can the scattered fragments of the world be joined together and the trend of globalization can be promoted. This is beneficial to an empire with huge resources but a serious shortage of resources per capita. "

"Furthermore, in the earth, the land area only accounts for 21%, and the ocean area occupies 79% of the entire earth."

"Therefore, among the major forces on the earth, as long as whoever has an invincible navy and an invincible ocean-going fleet first, then whoever controls the ocean will control the ocean, and whoever controls the ocean will also control the world."

"Let's not talk about the surrounding area of ​​the empire, it is almost completely controlled by the empire."

"But what about outside the empire, on the distant continent of Europa, or even the whole world?"

"As far as the minister knows, now on the Europa continent, take the civilization of the city-state of Athens, which is second only to the empire in terms of advanced civilization!

"The city-state of Athens is a small country with few civilized resources, but its territory is close to the sea. Therefore, it also has a powerful navy with a total of more than 200 large and small ships. The maritime combat capability far exceeds the current control of the ocean. Zero Empire."

"Furthermore, the goal of the empire in the future is the heavens and the worlds, and among the heavens and the worlds, there is definitely a plane world dominated by ocean areas like the earth."

"At that time, an empire with a powerful navy will be able to gain control of the sea in that kind of world warfare process, and gradually grasp the initiative in war, and then guide the war, and even seize the entire world."

"The army's combat range is limited, and it is impossible to replace the navy's combat functions and possess the unique characteristics of the navy."

"For this reason, building an imperial navy cannot be delayed. It's best to put it on the agenda now. Today is the best."

In the end, Bismarck can't even conceal the urgency of wanting to build a navy immediately.

No one in the empire can compare to Bismarck's understanding of the importance of the oceans and sea dominance, and love for the navy.

Silence, deathly silence!

After Bismarck's words, all the civil and military forces in the Manchuria were shocked and silent, and the needles fell quietly among the ruling and the opposition, and every imperial minister was thinking about Bismarck's words.

They are not fools. Although the ancients were more traditional in thinking and focused on the land, they also instilled their memory through the crystal of knowledge. Naturally, they knew that the ocean area in the world did take up the majority, and the land area was less than half of the ocean area.

So they can also understand that what Bismarck said turned out to be true.

Only now did they understand that having a strong navy was so important to the empire.

No, not only the empire, but also for any coastal power, having a strong ocean power is very important.

Even the top-notch event that can be called the context of life is not exaggerated, and there is no substitute.

...

"Chen Sun Wu-Support Mr. Bismarck as Minister of the Navy!"

"Chen Jiang Shang-Support Mr. Bismarck as Minister of the Navy!"

"Chen Zhao Yong-Support Mr. Bismarck as Minister of the Navy!"

"minister……"

Hundreds of civil and military officials said one after another, without exception, they turned their heads and opposed the change of support.

In fact, Bismarck's heartfelt words were added to the analysis of the situation with waves of fierce operations.

Finally, under the influence of Bismarck's originally strong personal charm, he finally succeeded in dispelling the suspicion of Manchu civil and military affairs.

The Manchu civil and military also changed from being opposed just now to supporting Bismarck as Minister of the Navy.

Moreover, the Minister of Manchuria also understood that he and others were originally laymen when it came to navy matters, and they couldn't do it well. Instead, they might be convicted for delaying the empire's future journey and your majesty's navy interest.

When the official hat is not guaranteed, and the tower can't be connected, it will really have no future.

Instead of that, it’s better to leave it to an insider to do it

And just because of the Athenian city-state civilization that Bismarck just said, the Manchu civil and military have never heard of it.

But they knew that His Majesty must know this civilization of Athens, second only to the empire.

At the same time, he also understood that Bismarck's position as Minister of the Navy established by His Majesty was unshakable.

No matter how opposed it is of no use, on the contrary, it is better to be a good friend and make friends with this future imperial star.

As a result, under various reasons, Bismarck eventually became the minister of the navy among the two newly formed military departments, and became the new nobility of the empire.

...

"Left phase, right phase, how is the imperial treasury now? Can it still support the creation of a new type of army?"

In the Xianyang Palace, Ying Ji's words broke the short-lived peace.

"This……"

Shang Yang and Wei Ran glanced at each other, both eyes were embarrassed, but they still said: "Enlighten Your Majesty, through the development and investment of different worlds, the renewal of the imperial army, the implementation of the military plan, and the implementation of the college plan."

"After excluding the salaries and salaries paid by local officials, the empire’s tax consumption this year has reached nine out of ten. Now there is still 51,12,100 gold left. There is very little left. I am afraid that it will not be able to support the huge imperial navy. Funds!"

Both Shang Yang and Wei Ran, who were in charge of the imperial territory, knew Ying Ji's plan and wanted to spend a lot of money to build the imperial navy.

But the ideal is very full, the reality is very skinny, and now the empire really doesn't have much money, and the remaining more than 500,000 gold is still left for emergencies.

If all the remaining money is invested in, the empire will have zero income this year, and it will be a fiscal deficit.

In short, the imperial finances are now in a dilemma.

Seeing the embarrassment on the faces of the two prime ministers, Bismarck also nodded to understand that no one knew better than Bismarck about the huge amount of funds the navy needed, and it was simply a bottomless pit.

And even if the remaining half a million gold in the treasury were put in together, it would be nothing but a drop in the bucket for the naval construction like a gold swallowing beast.

"Besides, the imperial navy base is zero now, how much money would it cost?"

Thinking of this, even Bismarck, who is passionate and ambitious about naval construction, has no idea.
