Chapter 347: Chapter 258: Airdrop_2
Before, the superpower user robbery incident on Zhongzheng Street was a microcosm of the world.
Especially after the appearance of superpower potions, this situation had become increasingly severe.
Da Xia had already become the best-ordered country in the world, without exception.
In some countries, the robbery incidents involving transcendent individuals had reached a level beyond control.
Some countries had even legislated that the staff in robbed stores were not allowed to resist.
The order in the human world had become increasingly fantastical.
Lin Zeyu continued to reveal the information he had received, "Also, the government plans to establish a mercenary organization, and it seems that this has already been decided.
"From now on, all superpower security companies and private mercenary organizations will need strict approval.
"If a superpower security company wants to use high-power thermal weapons, they will need to affiliate with an official mercenary group.
"So if our Huan Yu Security Company does not want to affiliate, we will only be able to use pistols in the future, and even rifles will be hard to get approved, not to mention explosives like grenades."
This had happened in his past life.
Because there were too many superpower organizations, and they were very chaotic.
Without regulation, these groups could cause destructive damage to social order.
Lin Zeyu spread his hands and said, "So, if we don’t want to affiliate with an official mercenary group, then the number of superpower bodyguards in Huan Yu Security will have to be reduced to less than one hundred. What do you think?"
Huan Yu Security Company originally had over three hundred superpower bodyguards, which was a formidable force.
The military had about five hundred soldiers per battalion.
The number of superpower users in Huan Yu Security Company was more than half a battalion, and they were all armed and superpower users.
Such a team would have a combat power stronger than a regiment when taken out to fight.
After hearing this, Lu Heng pondered for a moment and said, "Don’t rush, someone will come to talk to us. We’ll make a decision then."
Just as Lu Heng had anticipated.
With the current combat power and trump cards held by Lu Heng and his two companions, the government was bound to send someone to talk face-to-face.
However, what Lu Heng did not expect was that he would receive an invitation from Li Guining when the government sent someone to negotiate.
After the meeting, Li Guining stated that the government would establish a government-backed mercenary group in the Coastal area, and the name was already decided, called "Dragon Power."
"Dragon Power Corps," this name surprised Lu Heng.
Because in his past life, the mercenary group established in the Coastal region was called "Saber-toothed Tiger," not "Dragon Power."
Some changes must have occurred, leading to a different name.
From Li Guining’s description, the Dragon Power Corps that was to be established was basically the Saber-toothed Tiger from his past life in terms of function, structure, and objectives.
A government-backed mercenary organization had another role beyond the usual mercenary functions, which was to streamline and directly eliminate private superpower organizations when necessary.
Of course, the primary mission of the mercenary group was to counter the Abyss.
Eventually, Lu Heng and the government made an exchange, swapping benefits for authority.
Flame Emblem accepted state capital investment and became a semi-governmental company.
Lu Heng’s condition was that the government could not interfere with Quenching Castle.
Apart from that, Lu Heng and the others gained another authority.
With that, the financial conglomerates and capital interests that wanted to extend their hands into Flame Emblem were directly cut off.
Half a month later.
In mid-December, when Abyss Descent occurred, a new government decree was published.
The Dragon Power Mercenary Organization was officially established, and Jian Qing personally came to take Lu Heng and his two companions to visit Dragon Power Headquarters.
Dragon Power Headquarters was located in the north of Mingqiong District, near the border with Minghong District.
This location was originally a military base, which was directly converted into Dragon Power Headquarters.
This location could well defend the Mingqiong District base city, which was also one reason for choosing this site.
Even the address was the same, this was the headquarters of the Saber-toothed Tiger Mercenary Group in his past life.
Lu Heng had joined this mercenary group and met many people here.
However, at that time, Lu Heng was just a common superpower mercenary in Saber-toothed Tiger, without any authority.
Before, Lu Heng had met Zhuo Hongjun, who was about to be parachuted in as the deputy commander of Saber-toothed Tiger.
Lu Heng, Su Muyu, and Lin Zeyu arrived at Dragon Power Headquarters by car, and after getting out of the car, Jian Qing led them inside.
The group first took a tour of the Dragon Power Mercenary Group headquarters.
Jian Qing introduced them to the situation here.
"Are you transferring over?" Lu Heng asked curiously, because in his past life, Jian Qing had not transferred to Saber-toothed Tiger.
Now, the mercenary group’s name was Dragon Power, and since a change had occurred, it was possible that Jian Qing would transfer over.
However, Jian Qing shook her head and said, "I’m just temporarily transferred here, I won’t stay here permanently. Let me take you to meet the deputy commander first."
As she spoke, she led them into the headquarters’ administrative building.
When they arrived at a conference room, they encountered someone that didn’t surprise Lu Heng too much.
Zhuo Hongjun, the gold-plated War God.
Jian Qing introduced, "You’ve met him already, Zhuo Hongjun, now the deputy commander of Dragon Power."
In the military, a deputy commander typically holds the rank of major or lieutenant colonel.
As Dragon Power was only a mercenary group with a government background, their leaders were transferred from the military and would hold military ranks, although their ranks were usually reduced by one level.
Now Zhuo Hongjun held the rank ofApprentice, but since he had transferred here as the deputy commander, the purpose was naturally to be promoted to major soon, and the promotion would likely come quickly.
