On a new dawn the day after the artillery attack had passed at the palace, the Security Council returned to the war meeting.

"Your Majesty, there are reports from the frontline. The attack last night was successful. Able to destroy the enemy army and make them retreat, "said Major General Li Fengyang.

In the dark, The cannonball had caused severe damage, breaking Zhao Tao's morale.

"How is the loss of the enemy side?" Asked Zhao Lingxin.

"This morning, the patrolman has already investigated the enemy damage. It found that the attack last night estimated the casualties between 8000-12000 men. Most of them died from a fire attack. The rest are expecting to escape at night. "

Major General Li Fengyang replied.

"The damage is too much. In the battle for just one day yesterday, we killed more than twenty thousand people. These are the people of the whole empire. "

General Guo Ling said indignantly.

The army did exceptionally well in performance. The killing of twenty thousand people is eroding the country's foundations. The empire planned to unite the nations as quickly as possible, so it tried to avoid bloodshed.

"Prime Minister, You cannot blame this matter on me. There will be some losses in going to war," Major General Li Fengyang disputed.

Although the artillery attack plan to defeat the enemy will be successful, but there are too many indirect deaths from stepping on one another. Lack of air from the fire Burned and many other things

"This matter, let go of it. However, we can win the battle magnificently." Zhao Lingxin immediately rebuffed their argument.

"Has anyone seen the first prince?" Zhao Lingxin asked about an important point.

"At this time, the scouts haven't found it yet, Your Highness. It's not sure that the first prince has escaped, "said Major General Li Fengyang. The patrols did a thorough search to find out if a high-ranking officer survived in the barracks. But they did not find anyone, but the incomplete corpses were scattered all over the place.

"Even if the First Prince escaped, they wouldn't be able to make any cause," said General Guo Ling.

According to General Guo Ling's attitude, The soldiers who passed this battle of the enemy could hardly hold their own fighting weapons. They will have nightmares, remember what they experienced, and never forget. According to history, the indigenous people met with colonial groups from Europe. It is often avoided to fight a second time. The Northern Army has considered the end. We ultimately finished the end of the original Dazhou army.

"Your Majesty, should we spread this victory news? To increase the morale of the people of the city," Defense Minister Colonel Ma Chun said of his proposal.

Zhao Lingxin, who listened to the offer, nodded in agreement.

"Public relations plan is necessary People now want good news from us. Let the PR department do the best." Zhao Lingxin approved the plan.

"I will immediately take the order," Colonel Ma Chun took the order.

"Regarding the army of ordinary humans, we will not have any problems. But how will our cultivators handle this?" Zhao Lingxin said the question that worries him the most.

The Martial Artists were the ones that were the hardest to deal with. According to the intelligence agency, they can fly in the sky. Although not as fast as a plane, it is perilous.

"Your Majesty, we have prepared two plans. The first is air defense. We can easily modify Maxim's machine gun into an anti-aircraft machine gun." Major General Li Fengyang presented documents with accompanying pictures for Zhao Lingxin to consider.

According to reports, Army engineers brought two Maxim machine guns modified to fire in the sky. It has a platform that can adjust its direction and elevation, similar to later anti-air rifles. This modification of the military engineer can save the budget and maximize the efficiency of existing weapons.

Most buildings in Shenzhou are modern buildings with a rooftop on the building blocks. Able to install air combat guns throughout the city. As a result, many buildings in the town will transform into a temporary gun platform.

"This plan is excellent," said Zhao Lingxin.

Exchange of anti-aircraft guns from a system of excessive consumption. With the same energy points, he could exchange dozens of additional Maxim machine guns.

"I will allocate a hundred more Maxim machine guns to install in buildings throughout the city. Command the 102nd Battalion on the Northern Front to return to the capital as well. The army had to mobilize Maxim machine guns from the northern and partial southern fronts to return to the capital urgently." Zhao Lingxin quickly assembled hundreds of Maxim machine guns.

"Your Majesty, this is the second plan for Martial Artists. It was a plan from the military commission." Major General Li Fengyang handed over another document to Zhao Lingxin.

The military commission is a division of the military.

Inside, there are several chiefs of staff members planning strategies to tackle the military threat. The military commission has a highly skilled military commander, who has faced a difficult challenge from the military to find a way to deal with Martial Artists. They had brainstormed, and intelligence units across the empire until a battle strategy came up.

Zhao Lingxin looked at the document in his hand that had an engagement plan called God Slaughter.

Zhao Ling Xin's eyes flashed after reading this combat plan.

"How terrifying the Military Commission can come up with this plan. I really admire their talent," said Zhao Lingxin.

The plan that Zhao Lingxin read this time really shocked him. On the other hand, give him that extra card, ready for the arrival of the Martial Artists. The more cards on your hand, the more your confidence in this war.

"Your Majesty, this plan needs His help."

Major General Li Fengyang said.

"I understand. This plan has something that requires me to do my own thing. Don't worry, Commander. I have accepted the plan to kill the gods this time. Let the Martial Artists recognize our fearfulness." Zhao Lingxin reassured Li Fengyang.

"Thank You!, Your Majesty," Major General Li Fengyang bowed to the Emperor.

The news of the victory against the First Prince Army quickly spread throughout the city of Shenzhou. Create a great pleasure for the people. There are many celebrations in the town. The atmosphere of victory was so intense that people became drunker than drinking alcohol.

The pressure from declaring martial law is still to some extent. Trading and the merchants from different cities was halted. People are all worried about the country's situation. But now, the good news on the front lines has eased the pressure on the shoulders.

Food and drink intoxication sells very well. The restaurant was full of people who came to drink and eat while chatting with gusto. The sluggish economy has begun to rebound. If they say that people are busy, there is still another equally busy place.

An imperial stock market is a gathering place of many businessmen and investors. Economic and investment news here is always the first to receive information. As if responding to the war-winning report of the forefront, the stock market rebounded 12 percent again. Enter 700 points for the first time.

Under investor concerns, The news of the victory of the army reassured confidence. Previously, they were afraid that if First Prince defeated the military, all their possessions would have been lost as if the air. But when confirming the strength of the imperial army, Economic activity began to recover.

Only two months after They established the stock exchange. The value of the stock market has grown seven times. Huge money flows into the stock market like a river. Investors have become wealthier until they said that you could become rich as long as you buy stocks and then get sleep. This spread widely, prompting more and more people to use their savings to purchase shares of companies. Until now, They could hardly say that this place had become the financial and economic heart of the empire.

With Shenzhou's basic wages more than elsewhere, as well as very affordable living expenses. They were causing most people to have savings. Earlier, People kept this money at banks, but in the face of the stock market's heat becoming the mainstream, they invest their savings in the stock exchange.

The Ministry of Economy and Trade was afraid of the economic crisis. They quickly examined the companies that they were fundamentally enough to do business. Check the news to see if it is fake news that deceives people to invest money or not. This made the Ministry of Economy and Trade very busy at this time. Trying to prevent the economic crisis in the empire Otherwise, it will hold the country's development.

Due to the government's policy to promote the heavy industry, most business people have begun to buy shares in related companies. Wan Shing Industry Group has started investing in the steel smelting business. Sun Technology is not inferior to purchase technology from the government, preparing to open an ammunition factory with the government to buy their outcomes.

The intense heat of the heavy industry has begun to catch some investors' eyes. Previously, most people were only interested in the light industry, such as textile mills, modern manufacturing factories. But now they find that heavy industrial factories that spend much money also give a more significant profit. As a result, there are now more companies that initiate heavy industry businesses to register.

The amount of money that flows into the stock market. As a result, most companies have much cash on hand, so building factories and expanding operations is inevitable. Even in a state of war, the empire's economy did not reach a standstill. But rose as high as a rocket.
