Han Zhen's fleet approached the West's capital Yasserenxing step by step under the border guards' escort. After fifteen days, he finally entered the capital circle.

West's capital circle is a three-dimensional irregular area with a radius of about 3,000 light-years. It is somewhat different from other provinces along the way: administrative stars are becoming more and more dense, and contiguous stars are everywhere, even contiguous stars with four or five planets under the same star are extremely common; the administrative stars here are much smaller in population than in other provinces, and many administrative stars would rather be empty than saturated. Most of the planets have only about 400 to 500 million people, and they are more than billions of scales outside.

In sharp contrast, there are also many meteorite mines, but no one mines them. In the capital circle, warehouses can often be seen connecting warehouse communities. In terms of scale, it is very normal to use a whole secondary star as a warehouse; factories, there are various large factories in each planet, and most of the planet residents serve these factories; the transport ships coming and going are tens of thousands at the most, and the momentum is very high. If the combined fleet formed by Han Zhen and Nibal is only in size, it is really not as good as that of;...

"Lieutenant General Nibal, this is the specific manifestation of the policy of local governments supporting the development of the central government and building a leading advantage in the capital circle?" Han Zhen asked.

Although it takes sixteen days to go from the border to the capital Lianxing, there are several planets passing along the way. After having Huang Pei verified his identity, he can gain a deeper understanding of West from these planets. In addition, Nibal may have received the approval of his superiors before, and things that are not too confidential can be open to Han Zhen.

Now Sun Jing's Intelligent Brain Research Institute is busy. He uses the little time he passed by the planet to download as much as he can, and then organize, translate and summarize. Han Zhen's previous understanding of West comes from some introductions from Koalach and passing countries, which is not enough at all. As the travel time extends, Han Zhen can now see it.

"Yes, Lord Jingzhen, except for some basic mining areas that can carry out small-scale mining, the entire capital circle, at most, the mining framework must be built, and the minerals must be sealed; the capital circle has 40% of the high-end manufacturing industry in the entire country, and any large factory is the first priority to consider; the raw materials for factory manufacturing are provided by the provinces below, and the capital circle can provide at most some basic minerals; these factories all have royal participation, about three to four floors; warehouses, warehouses in the capital circle are the largest, not only supplying various factories, but also national inventory, and 80% of all minerals are in the capital circle;..." Nibal gave a detailed answer to Han Zhen's question, which is not a question that needs to be kept confidential.

Good, Ziegler's nest is really powerful. I don't know how many years of construction and accumulation his ancestors have made the capital circle like an iron barrel. How many years of accumulation is completely imagined that as long as the capital circle is not lost, the West Empire will not be in danger of destruction. Of course, if the capital circle can be captured from the beginning, the empire will collapse instantly, but this possibility seems to be unfeasible - the surrounding areas are blocked by provinces.

This situation of strong central and weak localities is inseparable from the cosmic atmosphere. The universe is too big. The territory of any country, even if the domestic transportation in West is extremely developed, it takes about two months from one border to another. The distance of tens of thousands of light years is not a joke. It is only with the assistance of long-distance space channels. If you just rely on a little jump, it is normal to walk for a year.

When a country is big, it is very troublesome to manage. The communicator takes tens of thousands of light years to pass through tens of thousands of light years. Therefore, if the country is in peace and stability, it is particularly important to keep the capital strong. Even if there is an invasion of foreign enemies and even if it is a local rebellion, as long as the capital is still there, it is not too serious. Counterattack and extermination are only a matter of time.

"Lieutenant General Nibal, why are there so many planets here? Is there a high degree of development here?" The degree of development, manpower is sometimes poor. Compared with the vastness of the universe, the proportion of areas that people can reach or have reached is very small. This is the degree of development.

"Yes, Your Excellency," Nibal nodded, "The territory of the capital circle accounts for only one-fifty compared to the national territory, but it has 1,200 administrative planets. You should know that there are only more than 6,000 administrative stars in the country, and the capital accounts for one-fifth; the second-class second-class stars alone have more than 6,000 second-class second-class, and third-class...; the mineral stars, the latest figures have exceeded 500,000 first-class mineral stars..."

Han Zhen has already understood the division of West's second star in the past few days. They are not as general as other third and fourth-level countries, but divide the secondary star into fifth grade according to good or bad. Like Dayu Star, it is a first-class star, which can be transformed into an administrative planet; second-class, it is more troublesome to transform, but it has the possibility of transformation; third-class, fourth-class, the third planet Gonggong Star obtained by Han Zhen belongs to the fourth-class to fifth grade; as for the Zhurong Star, it cannot be considered a secondary star in West, and even the mineral star is not on the same wheel. According to West's division: only precious or above minerals with high yield and large reserves on the planet can be named as mineral stars. It is also divided into the same fifth grade. If there is no good mineral, it is called the Dead Star or the Waste Star.

Nibal continued: "There are so many planets, so many secondary stars, mineral stars, and the country is inseparable from the vigorous development of the country. Everyone knows that the size of the territory is not an absolute factor for the improvement of a country's overall strength. In the past three thousand light years of the capital circle, our country has spent tens of thousands of years to explore and develop. It is very proud to say that the development degree in the capital circle has reached 30%! There are channels everywhere, and there are many jumping points. Four days, and at most four days, any ship can reach any planet after entering the capital circle!

30%?!Han Zhen didn't know what this meant before, but now it's different, and couldn't help but take a deep breath. How many planets and mineral stars will be there in a light year will be very troublesome to explore. It can only be searched with short-range jumps or direct navigation bit by bit by bit. It is not only extremely dangerous, but also quite time-consuming, and the investment is also extremely huge. How much manpower and material resources are required for searching in a three-dimensional range of three thousand light years, and it can also reach 30% of this ratio. It is definitely a huge project for a very long time.

No wonder there are so many planets here! The development degree of the capital circle of a country is quite terrifying. In other provinces, if there is one or two points, it is time to laugh. 30%, the materials reserved in the capital circle for tens of thousands of years are not counted. The overall strength alone is stronger than the combined number of Weixi countries!

Han Zhen sighed for a while, and learned more about West's strength from here. Nibal on the opposite side was not impatient. All the people who had just learned about this were all this expression and had seen more.

"Lieutenant General Nibal, I also saw that these planets in the capital circle, whether they are even stars or single, have not many people. This should be specially formed to consider not increasing the burden on the capital circle, right? However, are you not worried about the lack of manpower resulting in too little population? For example, this issue of the source of troops?"

"Mr. Jingzhen, what you see is the situation outside the capital circle. All the planets here must not exceed 500 million people." Nibal carefully explained that these things will not appear on the Internet. An empire has many planets. Most of the time, the permanent population of the planet only knows what happens on the planet. For external news, only when the superiors need you to know. "The reason for doing this does have the meaning of reducing the burden, but it is even bigger.

The reason is that the population of 500 million can fully meet the human needs of all planets. my country's scientific and technological development is at the top of the fourth-level countries. In the same position, the manpower required would have been less than that of other fourth-level countries. The rapid progress and development of science and technology will inevitably lead to a reduction in the human needs. If His Majesty the Emperor had not personally ordered that the planets here must not be cut and kept at about 500 million people, these planets would have been reduced by at least 100 million!"

Technology, technology is the primary productive force. When I just entered Weixi and saw the first rough refining of basic minerals, a few hundred people could produce much more than tens of thousands of people on the earth! The shock was huge, but in West, the personnel would be reduced. Han Zhen has been thinking about a question: Will one person do everything for a factory if one person is above level 5? A higher level 9 civilization, is there a situation where only a few people exist on a planet? The emergence of robots may not have become a reality.

I still have too little knowledge of civilizations above level 4! This time I have to come out of the inside story of Zieglernadotto points to the fifth-level country. After all, West is the closest to the fifth-level country.

While Han Zhen was pondering, Nibal paused tactfully. When he saw Han Zhen, he looked up and then continued: "What you see now is this outer planet. Next to the capital Yaserian Star, there are more than 200 planets. There are a large population on it, and each planet has an average of billions of people. On these planets, almost all military families, and my hometown is there. In terms of the source of the empire: all the soldiers from the Royal Corps come from this place, and half of the border guards and garrisons come from here; officers, if their ranks reach the colonel level, must move their homes. Such centralized management will always make the quality of our country's military source the best and most loyal among all four-level countries!" Nibal had unconcealed pride in his words, and it seemed that he was quite supportive of this system.

Isn’t this the military household system? It’s like the Danyang soldiers of the ancient Chinese people on Earth and the Kazakh cavalry of Russia, which have been regionally provided qualified military sources for the army; the several countries that Han Zhen has come into contact with have more or less experienced this. There are several soldiers from Weixi who have a good reputation, but how can this be compared with West? More than 200 planets are specially used as bases for producing soldiers. It’s hard to imagine how big it is!

The benefits of doing this are self-evident: the atmosphere of military personnel is extremely strong, and it has been sensible since childhood. It can better cultivate qualified soldiers. Education must start from children and can be implemented here. It is easy to manage and loyalty is more guaranteed. As long as you join the army, you will be supported for the rest of your life, and your descendants will be from the military headquarters. There are thousands of planets across the country, as long as the royal family wins over the people on these more than 200 planets, there is no need to worry about major rebellion; security allows people who are in the army to have no worries. You should know that these planets are closest to the capital Yaserian Star. Apart from Yaser, they are the safest. If the capital circle is not compromised for a day, family and friends will not be in danger; isolation, these more than 200 planets are self-made. When soldiers from a country come from the same place, relatives and friends live in the same place, it is basically difficult to win over them...

Big money, absolutely big money, although it is much more expensive in terms of material supply, it can be compared with the benefits it brings.

"Oh, that's right, by the way, I know that there are three legion modes in the army. Is the Royal Legion directly under the command of His Majesty the Emperor? How many are there in total? What are the structures of the border defense and garrison legions?" Han Zhen suppressed the shock in his heart and asked again.

"This, Lord Han Zhen, the Royal Legion is indeed directly under the jurisdiction of His Majesty the Emperor. In terms of quantity, I really cannot answer. Can we talk about these things again after you meet His Highness the Prince?" Nibal was a little embarrassed and said hesitantly after thinking for a while.

Han Zhen knew that he had asked a lot, but he also learned from Nibal how loyal these soldiers were to the West Empire. "I was rash, okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Nibal breathed a sigh of relief and apologized quickly, and then said: "Old Jingzhen, we are not easy to discuss the Royal Legion, but I can still talk about some simple situations of the border guards and the garrison. The garrison is established in the 62 provinces across the country, and it is determined by the size of the province, but each province will not be less than 30,000; if the number of troops is mentioned, the border guards is the most, and the 14 military regions and each military region has a warship organization of no less than 300,000."

Han Zhen was completely speechless. The garrison army would not be less than two million, and there were 4.5 million border guards. Just these two were added together, and after leaving a defensive fleet, it would be impossible to dispatch three million warships at a time. Who can stop this power in any level 4 country! No wonder West is the most powerful among the level 4 countries. Compared with Weixi, it is the ratio of giants and little babies. By relying on the number of planets to achieve strength, West is six to seven times that of Weixi. In terms of military strength, even the twenty Weixis combined is not West's opponent!
