The generals of the Metropolitan Government had already anticipated this situation.

The rebellion of Zhao's generals became more and more intense. It was not just the generals stationed in the newly occupied areas in the south who rebelled.

The generals in the north of Zhao State who were confronting Yan State also rebelled.

The Yan Kingdom is located in a desolate ice field, but a large gold mine that is easy to mine was discovered in the northwest region of the Yan Kingdom.

The Yan Kingdom was not rich in products, but it had enough money to bribe generals who were wavering.

The situation in Zhao State has become so serious that it is definitely impossible to send troops abroad.

Even if Zhao Jun wanted to come to Wei, they were skeptical.

Will the generals of Zhao State be bribed by Cao State after the war begins?

When the war is fierce, once an ally becomes the enemy's assistant, this situation makes people shudder.

The Grand Governor Lei Qianze felt that when King Su Hu of Wei said this, his confidence was somewhat lacking.

He immediately stood up and assured: "Your Majesty, we have made sufficient preparations to deal with Cao Guo's attack.

Our country does not lag behind Cao State in terms of industrial strength, army size, and soldier quality.

During this period, the two armies faced each other on the front line, winning or losing each other.

There is no situation where one side overwhelms the other.

The war is about the foundation of all parties, and our country’s war foundation is by no means much worse than Cao’s.”

The Metropolitan Governor's Office is still full of confidence in the upcoming war.

If he really didn't have confidence, the governor Lei Qianze had already thought of a way to persuade Wei King Su Hu not to conflict with Cao for the time being.

After all, before the last war between Cao and Wei, the two countries had no irreconcilable conflicts of interest.

King Su Hu of Wei used his rich combat experience because Wei was not ready yet.

At least Weiguo's industrial potential has not been fully transformed into war potential.

The geographical environment of Wei State is very good. As long as the industry develops, Cao State will never be their opponent.

But Cao Guo can also realize this.

They will inevitably interrupt Wei's industrial development before Wei's strength reaches its peak.

King Su Hu of Wei wanted to postpone the decisive battle between the two countries, but Cao Guo would never agree.

Cao Guo has now launched a decisive battle, and Wei Guo must cooperate.

King Su Hu of Wei looked at the ministers and said in a solemn tone: "Our spies hidden at the top of Cao State's military have returned accurate information.

Cao State is preparing for a decisive battle with our country.

In order to cope with this situation, it is time for our country to fully shift to a wartime state and start war mobilization for the people of appropriate age."

The Metropolitan Governor Lei Qianze spoke on behalf of the Metropolitan Governor's Office: "The Metropolitan Governor's Office fully supports the King's decision. We should have fully shifted to a wartime state long ago.

But now that we have officially shifted to wartime status, it is not too late."

The Metropolitan Governor's Office had long ago made suggestions to fully shift to a wartime state.

Only by fully shifting to a wartime state, the military factories will not abide by the laws and regulations of the country, all workers will cancel their vacations, and make every effort to ensure the supply of materials to the army.

The cabinet will also approve an unlimited amount of silver coins to invest in the expansion and strengthening of the army.

Unlimited means that after deducting the minimum funds for the imperial court's operations, all the remaining funds will be allocated to the Metropolitan Governor's Office.

The most critical point is that an additional 30% special tax will be levied nationwide, which is actually a war tax.

All the money collected was used for military expansion.

Even the chief governor Lei Qianze did not expect that Wei King Su Hu would make up his mind to put Wei into a full wartime state.

He believed that what prompted Wei King Su Hu to make up his mind was that something happened to Zhao and he could not help Wei.

The State of Wei must break the cauldron and deal with the threat of the State of Cao.

When Prime Minister Qu Xiaolong heard this order from Wei King Su Hu, he immediately frowned.

He glanced at the Chief Governor Lei Qianze, whose face was full of smiles, and at the same time there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Thinking of the temptation he just had at the gate of the palace.

The Grand Governor Lei Qianze did not know about Wei King Su Hu's decision before.

This order was an impromptu decision by King Su Hu of Wei.

He understood that this was a method Wei had to choose after losing the support of its ally Zhao.

But he also knows what kind of impact it will have on the development of the country if the country fully shifts to a wartime state.

Prime Minister Qu Xiaolong suggested: "Your Majesty, the decisive battle has not yet begun. We need to make a cautious decision before fully shifting to wartime conditions.

Not to mention the impact of other regulations on the country, just the imposition of heavy taxes such as special taxes will put great pressure on the people."

Wei Wang Su Hu snorted coldly: "I remember that the special tax is levied on people and companies with an annual income of five hundred taels of silver coins.

It is already very difficult for ordinary people to send their loved ones to the battlefield and produce a large amount of supplies in the rear.

After the war comes, the prices of various materials will rise again, and the lives of these people will become more difficult.

Besides, they are not rich either, so even if they try hard to collect taxes, they won't be able to collect much tax.

One of the important reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty was to give three bells to ordinary people. I remember this very clearly.

The targets of the court's tax collection were nobles and large factory owners.

They have money in their hands, and they can easily make transactions worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of taels.

Only by collecting taxes from these people can we receive more taxes.

If the cabinet cannot collect the taxes, I will learn from the empire’s plan.”

When Prime Minister Qu Xiaolong heard that Wei King Su Hu was angry, he immediately promised: "I will definitely urge the tax yamen to collect the tax.

Anyone who dares not to pay taxes will be dealt with severely by the court."

When Prime Minister Qu Xiaolong heard what Wei King Su Hu said, he knew that Wei King Su Hu had made up his mind that Wei must enter a state of all-out war.

When Wei King Su Hu saw Prime Minister Qu Xiaolong's submission, he smiled with satisfaction.

As Prime Minister, Qu Xiaolong must keep up with him and change people without changing his ideas.

King Su Hu of Wei looked at the ministers and said loudly: "Wei must try its best to win this war with Cao.

I would rather spend the money on military expenses than use this money to pay war reparations to Cao State in the future."

When the ministers saw that King Su Hu of Wei was resolute and Prime Minister Qu Xiaolong did not try to persuade him, they gave up the idea of ​​persuading him.

Under the strong will of Wei King Su Hu, the State of Wei entered a state of all-out war.
