System: My Doomsday Train-Chapter 719 - 314: Final Battle, Officially Begins! (Requesting Monthly Tickets)_5
Enter the conference room directly.
The landscape of this mansion has a certain reputation.
Within the Kasha Civilization Federation, there are a total of 9,398 Level 1 Civilizations and 239 Level 2 Civilizations.
The landscape of his mansion has transplanted all the distinctive landscapes within these civilizations into his own manor, with the resources spent being astronomical, but he feels it’s worth it.
It gives him a faint sense of being the master of civilization.
All civilizations worship him.
Oh, there are not 9,398 Level 1 Civilizations now; some were destroyed a few days ago.
Soon—
The elder strides into his conference room. At this moment, the assistant has already adjusted the video communication for him and cautiously exits the conference room after pouring a cup of hot tea.
He sits alone on the chair.
Impatiently pushes the cigars and cigar knife on the side table onto the floor with one hand.
Lights a cigarette.
Looks at the three people in the video screen with a somewhat sullen expression and says slowly: "The meeting is over. The message from above is that in seven days, there will be a comprehensive check of all strategic reserve resources within the Kasha Civilization Federation."
"The message is very clear."
"They don’t want things to get too ugly."
"In seven days, whatever resources have been consumed must be replenished, or else face the consequences."
"I’ve calculated my own deficit, and I simply can’t cover it. What are you planning to do?"
After those words fell.
The old man in the lower left corner of the screen shook his head: "I can’t cover my deficit either. Starting a fire at this moment is definitely not an option; that would be courting death. The war has already begun, and the attitude from above is extremely firm. It must be covered."
"There are a lot of spies around me."
"Even the wormholes nearby are under complete Level 1 military control. There’s no way to escape."
"I’m planning to commit suicide."
"I arranged all the resources a long time ago. After I die, this matter will be settled, at least my children will be able to live comfortably for the rest of their lives."
"..."
The middle-aged man in the lower right corner of the screen furrowed his brow and said in a deep voice: "Even if the gap can’t be completely filled, filling a little is better than nothing. What if the Kasha Civilization is defeated; does your child still have the rest of their life?"
The old man who spoke first sneered coldly.
"Do you know how many resources the Kasha Civilization has mobilized so far?"
"How many resources have been sent to the front line?"
"The war hasn’t officially begun."
"Yet five batches of resources have already been sent over, and each batch is an astronomical figure!"
"How much did I embezzle?"
"In total, I embezzled less than 7 trillion."
"And the five batches of resources sent over are just appetizers. Once the war officially starts, resource mobilization will be more frequent and crazier!"
"The resources I embezzled are almost insignificant to the Kasha Civilization, and I don’t have much left, only about 4 trillion. Even if I hand over this bit of resources, can it affect the overall situation, or determine the outcome?"
"It’s a sure death anyway, I might as well leave it for my children."
"Moreover—"
"Although the Western Military Region is the strongest in combat power, it is not the Central Military Region. The secret weapons being developed in the Kasha Civilization Central Military Region are the real resource consumers. A single shot can exhaust the foundations of a Level 1 Civilization."
"When the war becomes intense and these great weapons are brought to the forefront, this 4 trillion in resources isn’t even enough to fire a single shot. What’s the point?"
The individual power appears too fragile in the face of an entire civilization.
trillion in resources, that’s a very high number.
The Black Tortoise Civilization has accumulated nearly 10 trillion resources over nearly a hundred years.
But—
In the face of a top-tier civilization, on a battlefield initiated by a top-tier civilization, these resources are really just a drop in the bucket, easily consumed.
The idea of using a personal train to create a wormhole and escape, they never even considered, it was just impossible.
At this moment.
The elder sitting in the conference room looks up at the middle-aged woman at the top of the screen and asks in a deep voice: "And you, what do you think?"
"Me?"
The woman at the top of the screen smiles and shakes her head: "What does it have to do with me? I haven’t embezzled even a bit of strategic reserve resources. Those are strategic reserve resources, don’t you understand what strategic reserves mean?"
"I just used my power to earn a little bit of money."
"Unlike you."
"They won’t trace this back to me this time."
The other three people fell silent, saying nothing.
Any civilization will crack down on corrupt officials, and the Kasha Civilization is no exception. This kind of money-for-power trade can easily leave evidence against oneself, and if not handled properly and reported, one risks losing their official position.
On the contrary, embezzling strategic reserve resources seems to bear almost no risk.
Routine cross-regional inspections, just passing the word around, it would all be smoothed over.
As long as the war doesn’t start, this is the safest way to make a profit.
After all, with power not circulating widely in the Kasha Civilization and everyone’s lifespan extremely long, once the people on top don’t step down, it’s very hard for the ones below to rise. Once power-for-money trade is discovered, there would be rampant reporting.
But—
Who would have thought that the damned Chief Commander of the Western Military Region would single-mindedly initiate an expedition without notifying anyone!
Forcing the entire Kasha Civilization into this unexpected showdown.
No one had time to react.
Forget about whether the Insect Race Civilization was confused, when they received the news, their first reaction was indeed confusion.
Isn’t this just recklessness?!
"..."
After a long silence in the conference room, the elder finally said, "I’ll reveal something: I’ve infiltrated three cities on the Gemini Star, and taken some of the strategic reserve resources from these cities. This gap, I can’t fill it."
