417: Chapter 417: Old Hen Riding a Rocket

“Can you build me a few of those iron towers you constructed in Ulan Country?”

“Commander Yan, what do you need those for?” Oriental Chen feigned ignorance.

“To be honest, something big has happened in the Lasa area…” Yan Zhengping then recounted the entire incident from beginning to end.

“Commander Yan, to be frank, I have plenty of iron towers, but I’m afraid they won’t be of much use,” Oriental Chen replied.

“Why?” Yan Zhengping didn’t understand.

He had personally witnessed countless dung beetless being forcefully blocked outside the protective circle at that time.

These scorpions were only slightly larger than dung beetless, so they should also be defensible.

“You might not know this, but to protect Councilor Shen Tu’s troops at that time, I went all out. The operation of the iron tower requires crystalss to maintain it, do you understand what I mean?” Oriental Chen said.

“I understand, consuming crystalss is not a problem! Firing guns and cannons also requires consuming bullets, that’s normal. Now I have no other way, these scorpions are omnipresent, and relying on manpower for defense is truly unrealistic,” Yan Zhengping didn’t even consider the issue of crystalss.

Even if it meant consumption, he had to accept it; the scorpions had to be stopped.

“Commander Yan, this is not a long-term solution. According to what you said, the scorpions are practically endless, which means the corresponding crystals consumption is also endless. How long can you last?” Oriental Chen asked.

“This… I can’t worry about that much right now. We can only stop them first and then think of other solutions,” Yan Zhengping said with a deep breath.

“I have another plan, Commander Yan, you might want to hear it,” Oriental Chen was preparing to kill two birds with one stone again.

“Tell me!” Yan Zhengping’s spirits lifted.

Since Oriental Chen had a solution, it must be a good one.

This was a kind of blind trust.

“As you know, there was also an animal called the Rat Rabbit that appeared in the Ulan Country battle,” Oriental Chen reminded him.

“That’s right!”

“These Rat Rabbits can be controlled,” Oriental Chen continued to hint.

“That’s right!” Yan Zhengping still didn’t know what he was getting at.

“Then we can also cultivate a controllable type of mouse using this method,” Oriental Chen explained thoroughly.

“We don’t have… Are you saying you have this technology?” Yan Zhengping finally understood.

“That’s right, I have already deciphered this technology,” Oriental Chen said.

He didn’t say he possessed the technology himself.

After all, most people in Huaguo did not accept genetic technology.

“Good, excellent! Then, how about this: you first build iron towers for me in Naqu and Sunlight City to get through this immediate period. Once the mice are cultivated, we can launch a major counterattack!” Yan Zhengping said.

“Alright!” Oriental Chen agreed.

Oriental Chen asked Yan Zhengping to find a warehouse in each of the two cities to store the crystalss.

The Bee Queen was readily available, and once the crystalss were transported, the iron towers quickly rose.

Oriental Chen instructed him to constantly monitor the stock of crystalss in the warehouse. Once the crystalss were exhausted, the defense would cease.

Yan Zhengping didn’t hesitate and immediately agreed.

Soon, the scorpions in the two cities were cleared, and a large arc-shaped protective circle quietly formed.

...

March 22, 2056 AD.

Vientiane City, Myanmar-Vietnam.

After more than three months of accumulation, Genmura Go had purchased 20,000 Combat Suits from Tachileik.

The Commander-in-Chiefs office of the Great Sun Country’s Southeast Expeditionary Force, in recognition of his “special” contributions, promoted him to Special Quartermaster with the rank of Major General. This was like an old hen riding a rocket, soaring to the sky.

On this day, Higashida Hirofumi dispatched a special inspection team to Vientiane City, wanting to see these Combat Suits with their own eyes.

They were aware of the existence of the Combat Suits; Putian Xiaoyezi had reported it long ago.

However, they had never had the chance to see them.

“Yosh! Genmura-kun, you are a great meritorious minister! We must speed up the collection of these Combat Suits!” an official from the Cabinet instructed after experiencing the power of the Combat Suit.

“Your Excellency Zhongzhong, these Combat Suits are truly too expensive! We can only exchange one for every 2,000 zombies we hunt, so the speed is very slow. If you can provide more support, I believe the speed can definitely be increased,” Genmura Go said, bowing.

“Genmura-kun, what support do you need? You can propose it,” Nakae Koji said.

“I heard that the Senate has people who know how to control zombies. If possible…” Genmura Go hinted slightly, not daring to say too much. After all, he was not in a position to discuss Senate matters.

“About that… I will consider it. Don’t worry, the Cabinet will absolutely support this matter unconditionally,” Nakae Koji did not give a definitive answer.

Those who controlled zombies were undoubtedly from the Red Coat Sect.

The Cabinet essentially had no control over those people and could only go back to negotiate.

Three days later, the Cabinet’s reply arrived.

The Senate would dispatch 50 mages (Holy Envoys) to assist him in hunting zombies, but half of the Combat Suits had to be handed over.

Genmura Go agreed without hesitation.

These Combat Suits originally belonged to the Great Sun Country anyway, not to him, so why should he feel bad?

He was overjoyed that the Cabinet valued him so much.
