One after another, the other ministers expressed their support for sending troops to foreign countries to defend peace across the continent!

Even a few locals were no exception. Although they were still a little hesitant, their other colleagues all agreed. What else could they do?

In their hearts, they also strongly support this proposal, but they are worried that helping other countries unconditionally will not be worth the cost.

But the righteous cause of "Continental Peace" was there, and they had no reason to veto it. Even if they opposed it, it would be useless. This was a matter for the military, and the emperor was still the main person in charge. Even the Citizens' Assembly was useless. It only had the right to decide on domestic affairs, and diplomacy and war were not under its jurisdiction.

Chen Shiyi nodded slightly.

"The empire's development is on the right track. The people live and work in peace and contentment. The people lead happy and healthy lives. Every household has a place to live, every child has a place to live, every person has a job, and every person has access to education. The empire's current state is entirely due to the hard work of all of you ministers, who have dedicated yourself to the country and the people."

"But outside the empire, nations are in turmoil, wars are raging everywhere, and the people of the continent are suffering. Ordinary people are displaced, and the situation is getting worse and worse. There is a risk of a world-class war sweeping the entire continent. Under such circumstances, the empire cannot continue to develop in isolation!"

Chen Shiyi sighed leisurely.

"In this world, wars are raging among nations. Although I have no desire to fight for the throne, I understand the suffering of the people."

"Ningguang!"

"I am here!"

"Issue an imperial decree, immediately appointing General Lei Dian as Grand General of the Empire, Qin as Deputy General, commanding an army of 200,000 men, with the Dragon Cavalry and the Military Magician Regiment accompanying them..."

"Go west to fight against the foreign races!"
