354: Air Force Problems

It wasn't until Qin Zhong invited Pan Han onto the stage that he reacted.

Second Sister and Wu Disheng each held a glass of wine, and Qin Zhong also handed Pan Han a glass.

"Commander, the newlyweds would like to toast you," Qin Zhong reminded him.

This must have been a last-minute addition to the ceremony; there was no way the Base Commander would be present without a toast.

"Come!" Pan Han readily accepted the glass.

"Thank you, Commander, for providing us with such a wonderful life," Second Sister said softly, her eyes full of respect.

Pan Han suddenly recalled his first meeting with Second Sister; though only a few months had passed, it felt like a century.

"Second Sister, I wish you happiness," Pan Han clinked glasses.

"Thank you, Commander, for giving me so many toys and gifts," Wu Disheng said with a wide smile, a leather whip tucked into his waist.

"Alright, alright, I'll give you another batch later," Pan Han wanted to laugh but held back.

The three of them drank up, and Qin Zhong led the applause from the side.

Then, he roared, "The wedding is successfully concluded, let the banquet begin!"

Dozens of tables, hundreds of people—these were just the most important, the closest ones. At this moment, the tens of thousands of other people in Dawn Base were all having their banquets in their respective corners simultaneously.

Today was not only a good day for Second Sister and Old Wu but also a good day for everyone in Dawn Base.

Pan Han was seated at the frontmost table, next to Cheng Xiao, Dili Abasi, Qin Zhong, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, Reich, Ma Ji, and Mountain Top Rabbit.

Dili Abasi watched the entire event, dumbfounded!

It wasn't until Pan Han sat down that she snapped back to reality, realizing that this was actually happening.

Seeing her unusual expression, Pan Han smiled and asked what was wrong.

"I never in my life dreamed I'd attend a wedding in the apocalypse! It's too surreal."

"Then you've come to the right place," Pan Han said with a chuckle.

Dili Abasi looked at Pan Han with a serious expression: "What exactly are you?"

Cheng Xiao, beside them, let out a snort of laughter.

Hmm, this was the right process; everyone had asked that before.

"Girl, follow your big brother and work hard, and next year, big brother will find you a sister-in-law!" Pan Han transformed into the image of an old leader, patting Dili Abasi's shoulder cordially.

"Okay, Big Brother," Dili Abasi didn't react immediately, agreeing in a daze.

By the time she reacted, Pan Han was already playing finger-guessing games with Mountain Top Rabbit.

He hadn't seen Rabbit in a long time and noticed it had grown taller.

Moreover, its eyes were bright and piercing, as if its consciousness had grown stronger.

"Squeak!" Rabbit affectionately rubbed against Pan Han, then its expression suddenly changed, and it quickly hopped away.

Pan Han felt a cold gust of wind behind him, and when he looked back, Dili Abasi was holding two glasses of wine.

"Come on, Big Brother, drink up. Tonight I'll let you play with your sister-in-law."

"Hahaha!" Everyone at the table burst into laughter... The wedding feast lasted until evening.

Pan Han no longer remembered how much he had drunk; his main goal today was to refuse no one.

Baijiu, beer, red wine, champagne—he drank whatever came his way.

He was truly happy, happier than at his own wedding.

The value of life is diverse, but ultimately, helping others brings the greatest joy.

Pan Han was drunk!

This time, he was truly drunk.

He found that as long as he wanted to get drunk, he could.

He didn't know how he got back to the villa; amidst the spinning world, he found himself lying on the bed.

He kept muttering, "Drink, again!"

After Cheng Xiao and Dili Abasi helped Pan Han onto the bed, they quickly went to get him a towel and water.

Pan Han still wanted to get up and crash the bridal chamber, but he was too dizzy; after several attempts, he finally gave up.

After much tossing and turning, Pan Han finally fell asleep.

Cheng Xiao and Dili Abasi took turns guarding him through the night, afraid he might need water or vomit.

By the next morning, Pan Han opened his eyes, completely sober.

At this moment, the power of an Intermediate Evolver became apparent.

By now, Dawn Base had resumed normal operations, with large numbers of workers heading to the agricultural base to tend to vegetables and fruits.

There was also a group of newly arrived personnel who needed basic military training.

Another large group of construction workers was leveling the ground, preparing to expand the base.

Pan Han watched everyone busy and orderly, feeling very satisfied.

Now, over 500,000 square kilometers were entirely under his sphere of influence.

"Asiba, I have a task for you," Pan Han said, swaying back and forth in his shorts on top of the villa.

Dili Abasi heard him clearly from downstairs and immediately climbed to the rooftop.

"Commander, what are your orders?"

"Design a set of military uniforms and service uniforms," Pan Han said. He had noticed at the wedding yesterday that many people's attire was rather simple and inconsistent, which was not aesthetically pleasing.

Unified uniforms are an effective way to enhance a sense of belonging and identity.

"Do you have any specific requirements?" Dili Abasi nodded.

"Good-looking, handsome! Combat uniforms, training uniforms, dress uniforms, and everyday uniforms should be separate. Also, design the ranks as well."

"Understood." Although Dili Abasi hadn't studied design, with her intelligence and aesthetic sense, overseeing the project would be no problem.

With so many people in the base, they would surely find someone who could make clothes.

Once the design drafts were finalized, Pan Han would find a garment factory to process them.

Then, by inviting lords from other states to observe a military parade, he believed it could incentivize many to voluntarily pledge allegiance.

Currently, the Dawn Army was strong and well-equipped, with a full complement of tanks, armored vehicles, and a large number of artillery pieces.

If they also had handsome uniforms, their combat effectiveness would surely rise to another level.

A sense of collective honor is an essential element for an army.

It is also one of the distinguishing points between old-style armies and new-style armies.

Old-style armies were maintained by ties of blood, region, and so on, often unwilling to abandon their brothers.

New-style armies, however, armed themselves with strong beliefs, common ideals, and collective honor.

Pan Han's next goal was to unify the entire country. This was a vast territory of over 100 million square kilometers.

The resources were countless, and there were also over a hundred million surviving humans.

Once he could dominate the entire country, Pan Han's capital would effectively double.

He had a Knight Order in his world and a great nation in the apocalypse.

These two worlds, linked by Pan Han, would exchange what they had, ultimately guiding the apocalypse back to normalcy.

And now, the most urgent matter was the air force.

Pan Han had thought about this for a long time. The country's area of over 100 million square kilometers was basically a square, roughly ten thousand kilometers long and wide.

Without air force support, relying purely on ground forces to advance would be extremely slow.

The Dawn Army would face multiple problems such as insufficient mobility and difficult logistics.

Previously, the Twelve Palaces had clearly stated that they could not support Pan Han with aerial weapons; they didn't even have enough for themselves.

Given this, Pan Han could only resolve to build it himself.

It's better to have it yourself than to rely on others.

His thinking was very clear: recruit talent to restart factories and build; if it didn't work in the apocalypse, he would take the blueprints and technology to the Knight Order.

After all, the Knight Order had its own weapons company.

It just so happened that he had recently occupied the Myanmar Northern Region; he would set up a super weapon factory there.

As he thought of this, a fierce fire ignited in Pan Han's heart, and a vast future vision unfolded in his mind.

Just as he was ambitious and high-spirited, Cheng Xiao rushed up to him.

"Commander, something happened to the Monk!"
