Listening to Luo Zhang's plausive words, all the courtiers stared angrily, they did not believe what Luo Zhang said.
Over the years, their continuous victories have made them self-inflated and blindly arrogant. How could they believe Luo Zhang's words?
Seeing the looks of these people, Luo Zhang just chuckled and said: "Believe it or not, I told you to go find those businessmen from the Western Regions yourself. If I tell any lies, I will never go to court again!" "
"Luo Zhang, are you serious about what you said?" Wei Zheng was the first to jump out. He was the head of the officials, so he naturally spoke on behalf of the officials.
"Of course, I don't have time to waste time with you!" Luo Zhang said disdainfully.
These words made Wei Zheng feel a little worried. If the Dashi Kingdom was as powerful as Luo Zhang said, wouldn't the Tang Dynasty be in danger?
"Some time ago, the Dashi Country went to war with the Alliance of Nations. You may or may not know about this matter, but Commander Li, you know it better than anyone else. Tell them about the two sides participating in the war. How many people are there!" Luo Zhang looked at Li Junxian who was sitting opposite him and asked.
Li Junxian did not expect that Luo Zhang would call his name. He stood up with a wry smile, came to the front and bowed: "Your Majesty, according to the information obtained by our secret spy department, some time ago, the Dashi Kingdom did have relations with many countries. The alliance army formed started fighting!"
"The number of troops participating in the war on both sides is at least 3.5 million. The Guangda Shiguo side has invested nearly 2 million, and the Alliance of Nations also has more than 1 million. We here only know the approximate number, but it is absolutely There will be no less than 3.5 million people!”
Hearing Li Junxian's words, the court was in an uproar again.
At least 3.5 million troops. What is this concept? The entire population of Gaoguli is not that large.
Even in the Tang Dynasty, one-fifth of the population went to war.
The Tang Dynasty was powerful, but it could only mobilize an army of millions at most.
There is no problem in mobilizing such a large army. The problem is baggage, supplies, and a series of other problems, such as weapons, armor, horses, etc. This is no joke.
Before the army moves, food and grass go first. This is something that has happened since ancient times.
The supplies consumed by an army of one million people are astronomical.
It is not true that Datang cannot be mobilized. What if it is just mobilized? Datang will shake the country's foundation.
However, two million people were mobilized for a war. What does this mean? This shows that the total number of troops in the country has reached at least four million, or even five million.
This is one-third of the population of the Tang Dynasty.
With so many soldiers, it's impossible for all the people to be like them. Otherwise, how would the country function, and where would so many supplies come from to supply the soldiers at the front?
Only a large domestic population can support so many soldiers for external expansion.
Think about it, there are more than 20 countries in the alliance, and they have formed an army of more than one million people. However, the Shiguo country alone has more troops than the combined army of the alliance. This strength is too much. It's scary.
They didn't believe Luo Zhang's words, but Li Junxian would never lie. He was the commander of the Secret Intelligence Department, the one who led the world's spies. There was no information he didn't know. Li Junxian's words were more trustworthy than Luo Zhang's. The degree is much higher.
But everyone still can't accept this reality. There is no way to do it, and the gap in their hearts is too big.
The great Celestial Kingdom that originally thought they were superior did not expect that there was someone more powerful than them. This was like falling from heaven to hell, not to mention how uncomfortable they felt.
Luo Zhang stood there, nodded towards Li Junxian, and gave him a thumbs up.
Li Junxian just shook his head and smiled bitterly. He had known about this for a long time, but he didn't say it. It wasn't that he didn't say it, but that people would believe it if he said it.
Your Majesty doesn’t even believe it, let alone the ministers in the court!
