"Good, very good! This is excellent news!" Xu Tianran was overjoyed. At this critical moment, Kong Deming's successful breakthrough meant everything. Kong Deming smiled faintly and nodded toward Xu Tianran.
"Elder Kong, you have come at the perfect time. In that case, the next topic on our agenda shall be a summary of the current military strength of our Sun Moon Empire."
Xu Tianran's words immediately silenced the bustling Taihe Palace. The main event was about to begin.
"Brother Xu Hao, you are in charge of the military. Please present the summary," Xu Tianran said solemnly, addressing Xu Hao, the commander of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Regiment.
Xu Hao raised his head, his eyes burning with fervent battle spirit.
"At your command, Your Majesty. Regarding the Soul Engineer Regiments, our Sun Moon Empire currently commands thirteen regiments of varying compositions. Compared to the ten regiments of a year ago, three new regiments composed of lower-level soul engineers have been added, each regiment comprising three hundred soldiers. However, with the support of sealed milk bottle-type soul tools, they can perform as effectively as regular three-hundred-man soul engineer regiments."
"The original ten regiments have undergone a complete equipment upgrade with Mingde Hall's assistance. Their combat capabilities have more than doubled. As for the Hand of the Nation and the Royal Soul Engineer Regiment, their strength has increased by approximately one and a half times!"
A wave of astonishment swept through the court. In other words, considering both the quantity and the quality improvements, the overall combat strength of the soul engineer regiments had nearly doubled within just a few years.
Previously, the Sun Moon Empire's soul engineer regiments already surpassed the soul master armies of the Three Kingdoms of Douluo. Now, the gap was unimaginable.
Xu Hao continued after taking a deep breath.
"Based on the designs and concepts of Mingde Hall's Chief Designer Huo Yuhao, and thanks to countless new soul tool weapons accessible to ordinary soldiers, we have undertaken a full military reform outside the soul engineer regiments."
"Previously, our Sun Moon Empire commanded about two hundred thousand ordinary soldiers. Their combat power was far inferior to the soul engineer regiments and even fewer in number compared to the armies of the Three Kingdoms. On the battlefield, they were of little use and often became a burden. This was a persistent headache for our military."
"Now, with Mingde Hall's new weapons — guns, cannons, tanks, armored trains, airships, airplanes — even ordinary soldiers can find their place on the battlefield. Therefore, under the new organizational structure proposed by Chief Designer Huo Yuhao, we have abandoned the old military system."
"One army will now consist of eighty to one hundred thousand soldiers. One division will have seven to fifteen thousand soldiers. Below divisions are brigades..."
This new system was based on the modern military structure of Huo Yuhao's motherland on Earth. Even after Huo Yuhao left, the Sun Moon Empire adopted it swiftly and carried out major reforms for ordinary troops.
"Following this new structure, we now have two major armies: the First and Second Army Groups, each commanding eight divisions. Below divisions are brigades and regiments, and although each division has distinct operational roles, the structure below is unified. Based on the variety of weapons we possess, we have detailed operational divisions."
"For instance, the First Army Group's three firepower suppression divisions are equipped with high-power, high-burst soul cannons and are tasked with engaging directly on the front lines."
"Meanwhile, the First Rapid Division of the Second Army Group is equipped with mobility-enhancing soul tools and lightweight weapons, specializing in infiltration, rear attacks, and clean-up operations."
Xu Hao elaborated on the different functional divisions. No one in the court dared to slack off; everyone listened intently. Occasionally, someone would nod in admiration.
Especially Ju Zi, who listened even more intently. As Xu Tianran's appointed supreme military commander, she quickly realized just how terrifying the reformed army would be on a traditional battlefield.
Kong Deming stroked his beard in satisfaction. He was pleased not just with the massive strengthening of the empire but with the remarkable achievements of his precious god-grandson.
Jing Hongchen was similarly emotional. Even among the peak of power within the Sun Moon Empire, his disciple's name resounded like thunder.
'In the future, Huo Yuhao's fame will surely echo across the entire continent. His achievements have only just begun.'
"...This concludes the introduction of our newly structured ordinary army. Imagine such a force marching onto the battlefield. How would the decaying, backward Three Kingdoms of Douluo, who still refuse to acknowledge the superiority of soul tools, possibly stand against it?"
Xu Tianran cleared his throat.
"Good, very good. Brother Xu Hao's summary was thorough. As he said, when that day comes, what kind of scene will unfold? I believe everyone here is eagerly awaiting that moment."
He smiled with satisfaction as he watched the ministers nodding fervently, eyes burning with fanaticism.
Xu Tianran raised his voice even higher.
"Thus, I shall not waste any more words. Let us move to the final topic! That is, to select an auspicious day to launch a full-scale assault against the Three Kingdoms of Douluo! Everything is ready; only the east wind remains. The Holy War is about to begin! We will wash away past humiliation and replace the name Douluo with Sun and Moon!"
Taihe Palace instantly fell silent. Everyone held their breath. The moment they had been waiting for had finally arrived.
"Your Majesty, I have a word to say," Jing Hongchen suddenly spoke solemnly.
"Oh? Hall Master Jing, please share your insight."
Jing Hongchen raised his head and saw Xu Tianran and his master Kong Deming both staring at him, the pressure immense.
"Your Majesty, at present, students from Shrek Academy, all citizens of the Three Kingdoms, are still studying at our Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. Before launching the Holy War, I suggest we first test Shrek Academy's stance."
He calmly delivered the plan Huo Yuhao had entrusted to him.
