Resurrection Empire

Chapter 777 292: The Leader's Chair [7000 words]_3

From the very beginning before the war started, Ren Zhong pretended to hold a discussion meeting with others for "consultation," while in reality, he subtly introduced his management methods.

At that time, everyone in the command structure was amazed by Ren Zhong, surprising at the strength of his military talents.

Little did they know, Ren Zhong merely extracted a usable part from various military management ideas he was familiar with from human history.

Of course, the management method Ren Zhong most desired was another kind.

That is, guided by noble beliefs, to proactively form an army with ironclad discipline and combat will.

The birth of such an army requires specific historical conditions.

The current Source Star precisely fits this historical background, but Ren Zhong temporarily cannot reveal his beliefs, so he simply imitates the Qin system to implement a private army policy with strict laws.

Under the surveillance of intelligent devices, an army managed in such a way can also possess formidable combat power.

Of course, it still lacks the essential vigor compared to the perfect army in Ren Zhong's mind.

While others were taking a short break, Ren Zhong appeared at the military factory on the eastern side of town, belonging to the First Continent Armament Group, a subordinate of Source Star Military Industry.

About seven days ago, Ren Zhong ordered a batch of large-scale war machinery here: ten Level Six ground war fortresses, thirty drilling armed excavators, and one hundred variable anti-gravity supersonic fighters.

The war fortresses can withstand continuous bombardments from Level Six equipment and have a primary siege cannon that can directly break through town-grade walls.

The drilling armed excavators also possess extremely strong performance, offering immense protective capabilities. Even a group of ordinary soldiers can rely on them to battle with Level Six Ruined Beasts underground.

As for the anti-gravity fighters, their individual performance is close to the Hunter. The only downside compared to the Hunter is the absence of the superimposable destructive Beam Cannon, but other live ammunition configurations make them genuine lethal battlefield weapons.

This order from Ren Zhong has a total price of up to ten billion, forming the foundation for establishing a modernized private mighty force in the future.

But unexpectedly, when he arrived at the workshop, he saw nothing.

The head of the military factory stood awkwardly in front of Ren Zhong, rubbing his hands.

Without him saying a word, Ren Zhong already roughly guessed the situation.

This military factory was built by Ying Hao to show recognition for Ren Zhong's new status as a senior member of the Promotion Association, and Ying Hao promised at that time to provide substantial help to Ren Zhong through this factory.

But when the proposal about the military factory was made, Ying Hao did not expect that Ren Zhong would so quickly form a private army with such formidable combat power.

If the promise was fully fulfilled, allowing this military factory to provide Ren Zhong with unconditional support, then it's very likely Ren Zhong would completely take over all the towns' resource companies on the First Continent within just half a year, overshadowing similar companies across other major continents and even planetary colonies, eventually dominating Source Star's town resource recycling enterprises through corporate warfare in five years.

Thus, the corporate warfare that Ying Hao had pursued at great expenses would abruptly end in an embarrassing manner.

This was not the result Ying Hao wanted.

Ren Zhong's success is only his own success.

He would single-handedly steal all the glory from the war.

Ren Zhong is a Fifth Level Citizen, and his victory only proves the might of Citizens.

Desolate people remain valueless.

Therefore, Ying Hao's next major reform plans will come to an abrupt halt.

Additionally, Source Star Military Industry's plan to consume useless inventory and absorb Contribution Points will also suffer a considerable setback.

Hence, Ying Hao decided to slightly delay Ren Zhong's progress.

But he wouldn't openly state it to Ren Zhong, instructing his subordinates to claim that the core components needed interstellar trade imports, but the latest batch, supposed to arrive soon, faced issues with the Annulus Starship getting lost in a cosmic Black Zone, requiring about half a year to escape and will arrive in a year.

Thus, the high-end military equipment Ren Zhong ordered is currently unavailable for delivery.

After listening to the explanation, Ren Zhong calmly accepted it and generously expressed there was no need to cancel the order or reclaim the deposit, as he was patient enough to wait.

As they left the military factory, Ju Qingmeng, who accompanied Ren Zhong to receive the goods, regretfully remarked, "What a pity. Ah."

Ren Zhong smiled, "It's alright, have some faith in our warriors. If we don't have this equipment, others won't get it either, and this doesn't impact our victory."
