Chapter 90 Di Chen's Thoughts
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
Little Dibao is growing visibly, torturing his parents at the same time.
On average, a baby needs to be fed every two or three hours, and it takes more than half an hour for him to fall asleep.
Su Yue was breastfeeding, and the frequent feedings made her very tired.
Di Kun doesn't have it easy either. On average, he has to change little Di Bao's diaper once every two hours.
Occasionally, the little emperor would spray his face with urine or even feces.
But the couple persevered.
The days in the Su family villa were tiring but happy.
At this time, the Jin Group's development plan was also progressing well.
The DQ008 star began to build a new safe zone, and the ferocious star beasts in the wild, as well as the advanced star beasts with relatively gentle personalities, were slaughtered.
Low-level star beasts with relatively mild personalities were also driven into designated areas, and plans were made to hunt them regularly in the future.
Most importantly, the wasteland of DQ008 entered a period of accelerated reclamation and planting, with a large number of crops and fruit trees being planted.
At the same time, development plans for the remaining five barren planets were also formulated.
For the five barren planets, Jinna decided to use them as pure planting and breeding planets and not engage in any other industries except planting and breeding.
All of Jin Group’s factories will be concentrated on Star DQ008.
While the Jin Group was developing rapidly, Di Si in the Fourth Army Headquarters was in a very irritable mood.
"Marshal, the soldiers are complaining that there is no natural food today! Hasn't the Qian family delivered the promised natural ingredients yet?!" The Quartermaster General of the Fourth Army looked at Di Si anxiously.
"It's just a few meals less, why are you making a fuss?!"
"Before I came, didn't the Fourth Army only eat natural food once every two days?!"
The quartermaster lowered his head, feeling very unhappy.
It is obvious that you should eat natural food twice every three days, not once every two days.
Their Fourth Army is stationed in the Western Theater Command, where the fighting is most intense. The conditions are already difficult, and the food is so harsh. Who would be happy about this?
It was not them who asked the marshal to give them natural food before. It was the marshal who took the initiative to increase the natural food to two meals a day in order to win the hearts of the people.
Well, now I can’t promise what I promised.
Who would be happy about this?
"The war has been fierce recently, and many soldiers have almost died in the battlefields. The soldiers have a hard life, and they will definitely be upset if they are not treated well in terms of food." The quartermaster suppressed his emotions and spoke.
When the old marshal was here, their Fourth Army did not fight such fiercely.
I really don’t know what His Majesty was thinking, sending the eldest prince to be their marshal.
Not only is his strength the lowest among the four marshals, but his ability to command operations is also the worst.
I thought that with his help, everyone's food would be better, so I let it go.
But now, there is a problem with food.
Hearing this, Di Si stopped getting angry.
He reached out and touched his forehead.
He charged into battle with the soldiers and knew how difficult it was to fight.
"The pensions for soldiers who died in battle or retired due to disability are a bit behind schedule. Marshal, how about you contact the Qian family?" the quartermaster general followed.
The empire and the military each bear half of the compensation for deaths and disabilities in each major army group.
Previously, their Fourth Army was facing financial difficulties and its expenditures were not enough to cover its income.
The situation began to improve after the Qian family sponsored Qian and Natural Foods.
But recently the Qian family halved their funding, and the number of their mechas destroyed on the battlefield, as well as the number of people killed in battle and discharged due to disability, has increased.
After satisfying the need for repair and replacement of mechas, they now have difficulty paying pensions to veterans who died in battle or were disabled.
Di Si's expression turned gloomy again.
Contact Qian Qing?

If I contact him, will I still have a say in front of Qian Qing?
But what can I do if I don’t contact you?
For the first time, Di Si felt that he had really underestimated Di Kun in the past.
Di Kun joined the army at the age of eighteen, started from the grassroots, and gradually became the marshal of the First Army.
Even when being blocked by the Qian family, he was still able to hold up the First Army.
The previously most dangerous southern war zone was transformed into the safest and most stable war zone.
When it comes to leading troops in battle, he is indeed not as good as Di Kun.
"Okay, I got it."
"Calm down the people below, and the problem will be solved quickly." With a wave of his hand, Di Si asked the quartermaster general to leave.
The quartermaster wanted to say something, but when he saw Di Si covering his face and not even looking at him, he endured it and stepped back.
I hope the Marshal can really contact the Qian family.
After the quartermaster left, it took Di Si a long time to gather his spirits.
He sat in the office chair and thought about it, then made a video call to Di Chen.
He didn't want to give in to the Qian family unless it was absolutely necessary.
Di Chen's figure soon appeared on the light curtain.
"Si'er." The emperor was in a good mood and looked at Di Si with a smile in his eyes.
"Dad." Di Si shouted.
"Recently, the fighting in the western theater has been fierce. The number of casualties among frontline soldiers has increased, and a large number of mechas have been destroyed. Although we sold some of the natural food materials given by the Qian family as subsidies, our military expenditure is still stretched to the limit."
"Can I——"
"Dad, can the military funds for our Fourth Army be paid in advance?" Di Si asked pleadingly.
Di Chen was stunned.
The arrogant eldest son actually took the initiative to ask him for help.
He knew that the Qian family had halved its funding for the Fourth Army, and had been waiting for further developments on the matter.
Now, he was happy that his eldest son did not compromise with the Qian family directly, but asked him for help first.
What was disappointing was that my eldest son could only hold on for such a short time before he couldn’t hold on any longer.
"Okay." After just a moment, Di Chen gave Di Si an affirmative answer.
If it were in the past, he wouldn't have been able to agree.
But now, he had already prepared all the military supplies and expenses for the four major armies. It would be okay to have someone send them to his eldest son a few days in advance.
Emperor Si's face lit up with joy.
"Thank you, Dad!" I hurried to thank him.
Di Chen nodded.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Si'er, the Qian family—"
Di Si’s face froze.
"Eh." Di Chen sighed.
"The royal family's finances were tight, so they sent you to the Fourth Army as a marshal. Of course, they wanted to train you, but the biggest reason was because of the Qian family."
"You are at the front line now, so you should know the situation there."
"The reason why the empire's territory can be preserved and the people can enjoy peace is all due to the soldiers fighting on the front line. It is maintained by their desperate efforts and the empire spending money to repair and replace the mechas."
"With the current state of the royal family, we can no longer afford to support four major armies. Especially the Fourth Army, which you are currently commanding, because the fighting is the most intense and the military expenditure is the heaviest."
"I actually know what the Qian family wants. But at that time... I had no other choice, so I sent you to the Fourth Army."
"Rather than letting more people of the Fourth Army die in battle and the empire's territory be lost, I would rather give some military positions to the Qian family." As long as the Qian family can help him keep the Fourth Army.
