Chapter 1687: The Stimulus of the North Advancent Plan
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On the other hand, although the Red Dragon Army and the nine ga corporations had a major disagreent on the composition of Dragon City’s future ard forces, it only remained on the lawmakers’ lips for a long ti.
The Red Dragon Army did not want to have a falling out with the nine ga corporations.
There were three reasons:
Firstly, when the Red Dragon Army was first established, it received support from the nine ga corporations in the form of manpower, technology, and funds.
Naturally, the nine ga corporations controlled the Red Dragon Army on a certain level.
Many of the Red Dragon Army’s backbone forces ca from the nine cultivation families.
Even if they gradually developed loyalty to the Red Dragon Army after many years of bloody battles, they would still be inevitably influenced by their families.
Secondly, the prolonged Monster War had brought a heavy burden to the Red Dragon Army in terms of the survival and pension of disabled veterans.
The disarmant and reorganization that was being pushed forward in the near future would also consu an astronomical amount of funds.
The budget problem that was riddled with holes was enough to give the military bigwigs a headache.
At this difficult juncture, where even a penny had to be split into two, it was difficult for the Red Dragon Army to compete with the nine wealthy ga corporations head-on.
Thirdly, even though the two sides had different ideals on the issue of the ard forces’ construction, they had fought side by side for decades. They had once saved each other’s lives under the overwhelming beast horde. Even now, they remained the two pillars that supported the Dragon City civilization to stand tall in the treacherous and unpredictable Other World.
In the Survival Committee’s council hall, it was one thing to beat the other party to a pulp in the fight for a bigger budget.
It was another thing to completely lose all decorum, never communicate with each other, or even fight with the sa family.
Whether it was the Red Dragon Army or the nine ga corporations, most of the mbers, even if their eyes were red with ambition, still knew the principle of tolerance as a country and unity as a city.
Even when the beast horde swallowed half of Dragon City’s main area, everyone still worked together, risked their lives, and won the final victory.
If there continued to be smoke after their victory for the sake of their own interests, they would beco the sinners of Dragon City’s civilization and be nailed to the pillar of sha in history.
Based on those three points, the Red Dragon Army had always wanted to reach an agreent with the nine ga corporations under the current order.
But in the year since ng Chao left Dragon City, things had been slowly changing.
First of all, ever since the Red Dragon Army was founded, the nine ga corporations had positioned it as a vassal and supplent to the peerless experts.
At that ti, the mbers of the nine great cultivation families that were sent to the Red Dragon Army were all collateral branches of the family, as well as the losers in the family’s line of succession.
The truly outstanding family mbers probably took charge of the ga corporations, and as the enterprises continued to develop, they obtained excessive cultivation resources, becoming the new generation of peak Heaven Realm and Deity Realm experts.
If not, they could enter the Supernatural Tower and take control of key organizations such as the Tribunal and the investigation bureau.
Joining the Red Dragon Army was considered by the descendants of the wealthy families as a choice that they had no choice but to make.
In the past year, with their victory in the Monster War, the nine ga corporations had been advancing rapidly. They started new projects one after another, so they naturally faced the problem of manpower shortage.
Moreover, the nine ga corporations were preparing to combine their own corporate ard forces and create a real expeditionary force through the North Advancent Plan. This required a large number of experienced military officers to enrich the frawork of the corporate ard forces.
Therefore, the children of wealthy families who had connections in the Red Dragon Army chose to retire from active service through the disarmant plan and return to their families.
Under such circumstances, the children of influential families who remained in the Red Dragon Army beca fewer in number.
Those who could stay until the end were often the outliers, collateral relatives, and losers in their families. They did not have much sense of belonging and loyalty to their families.
In the end, the current nine great noble cultivation families had only developed for half a century at most. They were still in a very crude and immature stage. Many family mbers did not have incredibly close bloodline relationships, and they were far from the level of the aristocratic families in the Earth era.
For instance, when Shen Yuanbao was assassinated, the Shen family almost fell apart.
Once the family could not bring glory, a future, and resources, the rising Red Dragon Army beca the best choice for the descendants of the wealthy families who had been working hard in the army for half their lives.
Therefore, in the past year, the Red Dragon Army’s independence had beco increasingly strong, and its internal unity had grown closer. Even officers who ca from the nine great cultivation families had tied their own interests to that of the Red Dragon Army. They were tightly bound together.
Second of all, it would certainly cost a large amount of budget to accommodate disabled veterans.
However, these disabled veterans were not just a burden.
The loss of limbs and organs could not stop their spirit fla from burning. In the midst of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, the willpower that they honed through the monsters’ fangs and claws could also be used in the production and construction of a peaceful era. They could still release trendous energy.
In addition, under ng Chao’s influence, the Ultimate Style ca into being a few years earlier than in his previous life. It greatly improved the combat ability and the voice of the veterans. Also, the veterans, who were even stronger than before they got injured, were organized in Broken Star Club. On top of that, Superstar Company, Blue Ho, Battle God Palace, and other organizations led the way and added fuel to the fire. That caused many disabled veterans to sink into small and dium-sized enterprises as well as grassroots communities, effectively taking hold of Dragon City’s foundation.
Such changes gave the Red Dragon Army a blood-making chanism that was a hundred tis stronger than in ng Chao’s previous life.
They were able to actively participate in city construction, mine developnt, monster breeding, machine manufacturing, and other business operations.
With the Red Dragon Army’s help, many disabled veterans started their own small and dium-sized enterprises.
Even Superstar Company worked with the Red Dragon Army and secured several underground rail transit lines as well as large orders for the mining of crystal lodes.
Once the enterprises of the disabled veterans grew larger and stronger, they would feed the Red Dragon Army in various ways, forming a virtuous circle that temporarily freed the Red Dragon Army from the pressure of funds and resources. They could then advance toward a more long-term goal.
Third of all, the North Advancent Plan, which the nine ga corporations were about to unveil, was a war plan that would leave the Red Dragon Army behind and allow the nine ga corporations to attack the middle and lower reaches of the Raging Tiger River alone.
It was also a plan that the nine ga corporations were trying to use to forcefully upgrade their ard forces into an expeditionary force with intercontinental strike capabilities. That would firmly suppress the Red Dragon Army’s position as the city defense and security force.
