After hearing Jiang Rui out, Lin Xinghai frowned for a mont before his expression relaxed.
"Can you show the battle plan from the Military Departnt first?" Lin Xinghai asked.
"Of course," Jiang Rui said, quickly taking out an electronic docunt and handing it to Lin Xinghai.
This so-called electronic docunt was actually a mobile device, though it was designed to look like a physical folder.
Lin Xinghai took it, opened it, and quickly began to flip through its contents.
In addition to text and images, the battle plan also contained computer-simulated diagrams of the battle’s progression.
After a quick review, Lin Xinghai felt reassured. He had confird that his idea was feasible.
"So, Brother Lin? Do you think we can get those rcenary Corps to follow orders and execute the battle plan?" Jiang Rui asked anxiously as soon as Lin Xinghai finished reading.
"Why must we order the rcenary Corps to follow this battle plan at all?" Lin Xinghai asked with an enigmatic smile.
"..." Jiang Rui was rendered speechless.
’Why do we need to execute the battle plan? Isn’t that obvious?’
’If they don’t, the rcenary Corps will just be a chaotic ss. How are they supposed to help the army clear out the Zombies?’
But this wasn’t Jiang Rui’s first ti dealing with Lin Xinghai. He knew that for Lin Xinghai to say sothing like this, he must already have a plan.
"Brother Lin, don’t ss with . If you have a good idea, just spit it out!" Jiang Rui said with a wry smile.
"You can tell from this battle plan that the general staff understands rcenaries aren’t soldiers, so they made the plan as simple as possible."
As he spoke, Lin Xinghai reopened the route map on the electronic docunt. "According to the requirents, all we need to do is advance along the designated routes at the scheduled tis."
"To achieve that, we don’t actually need to command the various rcenary Corps directly. We just need to tell them which areas they can operate in and at what tis."
"Of course, if you just tell them that, they probably won’t listen. So instead, just tell each rcenary Corps in which areas they can receive the army’s protection if they run into danger."
"The rcenary Corps will naturally seek advantages and avoid danger, so they’ll stick to the zones we’ve outlined."
Hearing this, Jiang Rui felt as though the clouds had parted.
He instantly realized the thod was viable.
And besides designating the areas, they could also designate the tis.
They could tell the rcenary Corps what tis they needed to reach certain areas to receive the army’s protection.
In that case, it wouldn’t be much different from commanding these rcenary Corps directly.
At this thought, Jiang Rui snatched the electronic docunt back and reviewed the battle plan again. The more he looked, the more feasible Lin Xinghai’s thod seed.
"Thanks, I’m leaving," Jiang Rui said before hurriedly leaving the conference room.
Seeing this, Lin Xinghai shook his head in amusent and returned to the Star Shield District.
...
The next day, at just past 7 a.m., the rcenary Guild was already bustling. The mission acceptance windows and ammunition purchase counters, in particular, were packed to the brim.
After a night of rumors spreading, almost every rcenary Corps had undoubtedly heard about the major operation to clear out Guanghan City. They were all rushing over to accept the mission, afraid of missing this golden opportunity.
Even so small hunting squads dared to apply to join, which left the rcenary Guild’s higher-ups, who had been worried about the operation’s success, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Just last night, they had been worried about how many rcenary Corps would even be willing to accept the mission.
They never expected it to turn into this overnight. What did everyone take Guanghan City, the so-called "rcenary Restricted Area," for?
At 8 a.m., Lin Xinghai strolled unhurriedly out of the Star Shield District. He imdiately saw crowds of rcenaries rushing down the road.
"Looks like the news has spread," Lin Xinghai comnted on the scene. "It’s going to be lively today. Let’s get going."
He then led Liu Miaomiao straight to the rcenary Plaza in the Lower City District. As for matters like accepting the mission and purchasing ammunition, he naturally didn’t have to worry about them.
When the two arrived at the rcenary Plaza, they were greeted by the spectacular sight of a sea of people. Previously, Lin Xinghai hadn’t known just how many rcenaries the rcenary Guild had.
But now he knew the number exceeded 30,000.
Although the plaza was packed with people, it wasn’t as chaotic as one might expect.
This was partly because of the 5,000 soldiers stationed in front of the rcenary Plaza. With them maintaining order, no one dared to cause any trouble.
But beyond that, the spontaneous formation of lines by the various rcenary Corps was also an important factor.
Of course, this wasn’t to say the rcenaries were particularly well-behaved; it was purely because of the unwritten Rule among them: respect the strong.
So, lined up at the front near the exit were, naturally, the Third Level rcenary Corps, followed by the Second and First Level ones.
Moreover, even among rcenary Corps of the sa Level, everyone had a clear sense of who was stronger and who was weaker, so they tacitly arranged themselves according to that pecking order.
Of course, there were exceptions, the biggest one being the Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps.
This Second Level rcenary Corps had not only positioned itself among the Third Level rcenary Corps but had also claid the very best spot.
In addition, because the Mountain and Sea rcenary Corps was Lin Xinghai’s Affiliated rcenary Corps, it also received preferential treatnt, taking the best position among the First Level rcenary Corps.
With Lin Xinghai’s arrival, soone in the once-packed rcenary Plaza shouted out, and the rcenaries automatically parted to form a path for him.
Lin Xinghai was quite surprised by their reaction. He hadn’t realized his prestige had grown to such a degree.
"Morning, Captain Lin!"
"Captain Lin, you’re here early!"
"Captain Lin, have you had breakfast? I just bought so local specialties."
"..."
As he walked through the crowd, the various rcenary Corps Leaders greeted him enthusiastically. Lin Xinghai could only nod in response to each of them.
When he reached the Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps, he was t by a sowhat resentful-looking Fang Tianhe, who said in a sour tone, "Our great leader has finally arrived. Perhaps I should abdicate and beco the vice-captain!"
"Sure, why not?" Lin Xinghai replied with that sa enigmatic smile.
Fang Tianhe was left speechless.
"Focus on your Cultivation," Lin Xinghai said, patting Fang Tianhe’s shoulder earnestly. "Once you break through to the Blood Qi Realm, they’ll recognize you, too."
Then, his expression grew serious. "How are we on ammunition?"
Hearing Lin Xinghai get down to business, Fang Tianhe’s expression turned serious as well. "Don’t worry, everything’s ready. We used all of the rcenary Corps’ funds to buy ammunition. Two-thirds of it went to Hand Cannon Bullets."
Lin Xinghai nodded. Just then, a commotion broke out at the front of the rcenary Plaza.
They looked toward the sound, and a look of astonishnt quickly appeared on Fang Tianhe’s face.
"Now that’s a rare sight," Fang Tianhe said, a hint of surprise in his voice. "The president of the rcenary Guild is actually here."
