289: Elders Committee

After Pan Han left, Ouyang Cong and the others fell into a long silence.

One thousand units of equipment, fifty basic loads of ammunition, and light weapons for five thousand people.

These items were worth at least fifty billion eagle sauce coins.

The money was one thing, but the main issue was that governments of various countries would inquire about the mobilization of such a large quantity of military supplies.

The Knight Order had close ties with various governments, and communication channels were very smooth; larger operations were always reported and announced in advance.

This time, Pan Han didn't explicitly state what the equipment was for, and how to inform the major powers was a difficult problem.

Moreover, giving only one month's time was simply asking for the impossible.

Tanks and armored vehicles were not bicycles; from raw material procurement to production and then to debugging, the entire process was very time-consuming.

It wasn't wartime now, and there were no spare production lines.

Ouyang Cong frowned deeply; with his authority, he certainly couldn't complete such a large project and had to report it quickly.

His direct superior was the head of the headquarters' Operations Department, and further up was the Elder Committee.

"Let's report directly to the Committee. Previously, the Leader's matters were all broken down and assigned by the Committee," Ellie stopped recording and suggested to Ouyang Cong.

"No time to lose, report it quickly. Ellie, you are responsible for organizing the Leader's requests and drafting the report materials. I'll report to the minister first," Ouyang Cong said, and someone immediately pushed him to another communication room.

Ellie nodded in agreement, staying in the conference room to organize documents.

An hour later, the Elder Committee was aware of the new Leader's command.

"Our new Leader doesn't seem to pay much attention to us," Committee One said with a gloomy face, looking at the situation explanation, somewhat displeased. He was in charge of all operational matters, and looking at the command, his head was buzzing.

When the old Leader was alive, he would issue no more than two directives a year, and all of them were handed over to the Committee for handling.

Pan Han, as a new official, didn't understand the process, and perhaps disdained to understand it, using whoever he caught.

These old fellows naturally felt displeased.

Moreover, such a big matter, given to Ouyang Cong, this hairless kid, he couldn't handle it!

"The old Leader didn't even have time to see us before his death. He directly passed the great position to the new Leader. This shows that he indeed had extraordinary qualities," Committee Two said, slightly calmer, but still bothered by not seeing the old Leader one last time before his death.

He had followed the old Leader for over forty years, responsible for the Knight Order's administrative management and oversight, among other duties. He considered himself the old Leader's most trusted person.

Unexpectedly, at the very end, this happened, and a surge of anger had been pent up in his heart until now.

"You guys, do you think this new Leader might have a blood relationship with the old Leader? Otherwise, why would the position suddenly be passed to him?" Committee Three was responsible for business and external relations. Because he didn't have an intelligence department, he was quite gossipy about this matter.

"Based on current analysis, there is no blood relationship. The new Leader's biological parents are both alive, and it can be verified with records," Committee One's intelligence network spanned the globe, and his ability to investigate people was first-rate.

But precisely because he could find Pan Han's specific information, he was puzzled. He had thought for three days and three nights but still couldn't figure out what ability this kid had to inherit the position of Leader.

"Then the new Leader must have extraordinary qualities. Otherwise, the old Leader wouldn't have done such a thing. He lived for hundreds of years and had excellent judgment of people," Committee Two said.

"He killed dozens of top assassins at our Dragon Country Base, do you think he has extraordinary qualities or not! I've lived for decades and have never seen such a ruthless person," Committee One rolled his eyes, thinking that Committee Two was actively adding drama for the new Leader.

But as the Committee member in charge of operations, he was indeed deeply shocked by Pan Han's combat prowess.

He had carefully watched the surveillance footage from the Dragon Country Base at the time; Pan Han's speed was so fast that it required slowing down many times to see clearly.

Terrifying!

"Then let's just do it. After all, it's the new Leader's first command. No matter how difficult, we have to do it, otherwise, how can we explain it?" Committee Three said this, but he needed to coordinate production capacity, report to major countries, and mobilize a sum of funds to smooth relations.

"You go get the equipment. I'll go through the motions in a neighboring country to make a show of it. Damn it, I have to give gifts to that old bastard again," Committee One thought of having to ask the neighboring country's president for help, and his head hurt.

The neighboring country's president came to power through armed seizure and had always maintained high-pressure rule, squandering over 100 virgins annually.

He was greedy for money and lust, a mass murderer, and his domestic governance left the people in dire straits, but there was one good thing: he took money to get things done.

And his reputation had always been very good.

This time, Committee One planned to ask him for help, ordering this batch of equipment from the Knight Order's arms group in the name of the neighboring country's army.

Of course, the Knight Order would pay for it themselves, but they would have to give the neighboring country's president a large sum as a kickback.

This guy had a poor international reputation, and to sell him weapons, they would also need to smooth relations with major countries, otherwise, they would definitely be investigated.

The entire process would cost far more than the fifty billion for purchasing the equipment.

"Our new Leader is really expensive!" Committee Two calculated the costs and couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.

Spending money wasn't the big problem; the most important thing was that Pan Han didn't tell them the purpose of this equipment.

This was really frustrating!

"Stop whining. The old Leader also had times when he didn't explain the situation. Let's just do it first," Committee One said.

With that, the three-person meeting disbanded, and each began to busy themselves.

Pan Han naturally didn't know the story behind it; his mind was entirely on sweeping across All States.

How to get the equipment was the Knight Order's business.

The old Leader only had one Knight Order, and his thoughts were all focused there.

Pan Han was different from him; he had two worlds and more things to consider.

Of course, even if he didn't understand military matters, he knew this batch of equipment wasn't cheap.

Although he had no money, he had gold and oil. If the Knight Order ever faced an economic crisis, he could just use these two strategic materials to save the day; there was no need to worry at all.

The day before yesterday, he checked the Knight Order's assets; although there was a good amount of cash on hand, their gold reserves were a pathetic one hundred tons.

Pan Han could casually transport two thousand tons over, directly making the Knight Order take off!

These things, the three Elders of the Committee certainly didn't know.

Currently, both sides were in a stage of not understanding each other.

Pan Han also didn't plan to interact with them too much; he had the secret of the system, and the fewer people who knew, the better.

The Knight Order, after all, was a century-old establishment; once an action plan was formulated, its execution efficiency was extremely high.

Various departments worked closely together, cooperating like a finely crafted machine, operating exceptionally smoothly.

Pan Han had just returned to his large apartment when his special phone rang. He answered it, and it was Ouyang Cong.

"Leader, news has come from the Committee; the matter is being handled. It will definitely be ready in one month."

"Prepare a safe, large warehouse in Somalia, and put everything in the warehouse."

"Yes, Leader."

After hanging up the phone, Ellie sent another WeChat message. They had already arrived at the film set, and during filming, message replies might be delayed, so she asked the Leader for his understanding.

Pan Han told her to film well, not to be an actor who just recited numbers, and to strive for excellence.

Afterward, he specifically reminded Yan Xiaoli to keep an eye on everyone and to be strict with requirements.

Once everything was prepared, he finally relaxed, opened King of Glory, and started playing ranked matches!
