Protagonist:

Chen Yi

On the West Continent, training itself was relatively easy; martial arts hall students and local natives both had a certain degree of military discipline, and knowledge potions helped them learn skills.

Chen Yi's sponsorship of Jiangning University's "Academic Materials and Classroom Teaching Visualization" was a key project, not only completed quickly but also involving a large amount of basic military knowledge. As long as enough knowledge potions were exchanged from the Saint Qiao Kingdom, training in areas such as driving, shooting, and signals could be condensed into completion within one or two weeks.

Chen Heng still remembered how many nights of review he had spent to learn Morse code and use a wireless telegraph. Similarly, tank driving, artillery rangefinders, and simple mechanical repairs were not really simple; during the first half year after leaving the Staff Department, he almost spent all his time on these.

Who would have thought Chen Yi could solve problems with knowledge potions.

Looking at box after box of glass bottles, Chen Heng hesitantly said, "I thought this stuff was quite rare."

"Indeed not many, but I can get them."

Chen Heng laughed and said, "You're sounding more and more like a banker."

"Hmm?" Chen Yi raised his head in surprise.

"Greenspan of the Federal Reserve is just like you, speaking half-sentences and always being vague. It's said that if he wants to express his meaning clearly, it would cause a stock market upheaval." Ever since learning of Chen Yi's financial ambitions, Chen Heng had consciously or unconsciously begun to care about the world financial scene—a natural change, just like Chen Yi's father and mother.

"Greenspan, I'll take that as a compliment." The Federal Reserve was a colossus even for central banks, let alone Chen Yi's just-started gold bonds and the not-yet-supported Jiangning Bank. Of course, Greenspan himself didn't have many banknotes, but he controlled enough—in this world, banknotes themselves were meaningless; only banknotes in use had value.

The little lizard crawled from one box to another, then picked out a bottle of knowledge solvent labeled Tank Driving, drank it, let out a burp, and asked, "Can I eat a tank?"

"Didn't you eat one last time?"

"That was an armored vehicle, don't lie to me, this one is thicker." The little lizard twitched its nose, raised its paws slightly, and looked at the Type 59 Tank with a greedy expression.

Chen Heng, who thought himself unperturbed by honor or disgrace, was surprised again, staring foolishly at the little lizard and saying, "It can talk?"

"That's right, I can talk. I am Apollo, mercury, brass, pure magnesium, and aluminum are my favorites. Please call me Day..." As it spoke, it jumped on the box of knowledge potions, like a Japanese radio calisthenics or a lizard tribe's street dance.

"Not joking?"

Chen Yi hummed and said, "If every time it spoke it could arouse a beauty's curiosity, I would have slain ten thousand people by now."

Chen Heng almost choked on his breath.

Chen Yi pulled the little lizard off the box of knowledge solvents, lest it drink a whole box, and said, "Before coming to the West Continent, students will use knowledge solvents one month in advance. After they arrive at West River Water Fortress, they will spend another month learning some special skills, and then they can be put to use. The rest of the training will be left to you."

The armies of West River Water Fortress were trained this way, very much like a production line process. But due to the lack of a unified training plan and military department, training beyond basic combat skills was very weak.

"Knowledge solvent is good, knowledge solvent is good." Chen Heng repeated continuously, his hand resting on a large revolver, eyeing the little lizard, not knowing whether he should shoot this monster.

The military base beside the water fortress was scorching hot. The little lizard glared with its huge compound eyes; even when hung upside down, it still demanded, "I want to eat that tank. It's been a long time since I last ate one."

"Alright, don't break your teeth."

Chen Yi found a dilapidated tank and tossed the little lizard onto it.

The thick tank armor couldn't be bitten through at once, but the little lizard had a sharp tongue. It stuck it out, licked hard, penetrated, and drilled hard.

Liu Xinyu's face suddenly turned crimson.

"Let it eat slowly." Chen Yi didn't care about a broken tank and turned to distribute knowledge solvents.

Every department needed knowledge solvents. The Construction Ministry had a large demand, while the Military Department's demand was more urgent.

Modern warfare was not just a contest of equipment and technology, but also of soldiers' technical levels. Israel, a small piece of land, had resisted the entire Arab world for half a century, relying on the foundation of their soldiers' high level of education. Illiterate officers and university-educated soldiers had little difference in hand-to-hand combat, but the subjective power they exerted in a campaign was absolutely different.

When the Armored Force was first established, Sun Ruihe also received some knowledge potions, so he could expand quickly. Once a battalion's establishment was completed, he could only get very little of such supplies.

This time, likewise to quickly establish troops, Chen Yi took out a whole truckload of knowledge medicine water. Just from this point, everyone could see how much Chen Yi valued this force. When Chen Heng went to select soldiers, Li Feng, She Lei, and others actively cooperated.

The small-unit system practiced on the West Continent was an unspoken basic strategy. Economically, it was the best way to reduce costs; politically, keeping colonial forces weak was a necessary means to maintain unity.

In this regard, even Chen Heng could not immediately get a regiment's worth of troops.

The Diamond Office Hall held consecutive meetings and finally decided to prioritize equipping and supplying one battalion. A logistics department without professional training could not bear the consumption of 2,000 regular troops, especially a high-firepower force.

Chen Heng thus drew soldiers from three companies' establishments. On one hand, he conducted basic squad training; on the other, he began reading reports, watching videos, and observing the front line. Although he couldn't reach the front line of the Temple War, even some small battles nearby and cavalry drills were enough for him to see something.

He decided to establish a motorized infantry regiment, not an armored regiment like Sun Ruihe liked. In his view, the cavalry on the West Continent was already slow enough and didn't need faster troops. On the other hand, the Air Force was already taking shape; in a year or two, the main means of transportation on the West Continent would surely shift to air. Because in this region, there was no network of roads and railways.

The Light Curtain's radius was only 200 kilometers, a bit short for airplanes, but if it were helicopters, they could run around and have fun for a while.

Mo Shaoqiu and Mordor were thus busy. Eastern Europe had various models of helicopters for sale, and Western Europe and the United States had arms supplies open. As long as there was a registered private security company, or a consulting company, or a regional militia organization, or money... supplies could be transported to Mexico, or even change ships on the high seas.

Whenever this happened, Chen Yi would transport supplies directly from Mexico to the West Continent via the Subway. Sometimes, he could also leave some equipment for local martial arts halls in Mexico.

In the Mexico world said to be full of drug lords, an organization that could use Milan Anti-Tank Missiles worth tens of thousands of dollars was definitely a luxurious armed force. Drug-farming peasants earning hard money dared not easily offend them.

Gold Bonds unexpectedly played a role. Although foreign clients worried about their safety, some Southeast Asians had already become familiar with and recognized the value of bonds. Most importantly, they could serve as cash and be exchanged for gold, which was much more useful than diamonds.

The value of companies under Chen Yi's banner also played a very important role in evaluating Gold Bonds. Although they were old-fashioned bonds with full collateral, in the emerging market environment, people habitually evaluated company value.

September.

While Chen Yi was busy with the market, Chen Rongxi suddenly appeared and asked, "Aren't you going to class?"

"Class!" Thinking of the classroom and the West Continent, Chen Yi actually felt as if it had been ages.

"It's already the 15th today. You haven't gone yet?" Chen Rongxi first disbelieved, then turned envious, saying, "I wish I could skip class."

"Dream on." Chen Yi deliberately rubbed her head, then got on a Raptor. After thinking, he turned toward Jiangning University.

Relying on the Special Pass swallowed by the little lizard, the pickup truck reached the Administration Building without obstruction. After reporting his name at the office at the entrance, the Administration Building was instantly in an uproar.

Times have changed.

The former Chen Yi was just a prodigal son, the son of Chen Congyu of the Chen Group, at most able to cause some trouble. Now he was very different. Just the prosperity of Jiangning Bank was enough to make the school stare wide-eyed. The West River Association was an even better tool for raising status.

Now was the period when various universities were expanding enrollment and campuses. Jiangning University had also borrowed a lot of money. Their various business dealings were mainly with local enterprises in Jiangning. The West River Association was still a regional syndicate, but for a school, a regional consortium leader like Chen Yi already had great deterrent power.

The department head couldn't wait for the Elevator and ran down all the way. Only upon reaching the Second Floor did he catch his breath, straighten his Clothing, and prepare to go down to "welcome" Chen Yi.

After he left, Vice Dean Lu had already begun shaking hands cordially with Chen Yi.

"The Dean is really too busy; today he didn't know you would come." Dean Lu saw the department head arrive, fearing he might file a petty report, so he deliberately explained again, then said: "Your Formalities will be handled as a special case. It will be done in a few minutes. We also know you're busy, and we try not to affect the students'... social activities. Chen... Yi, you have brought glory to the school."

"You're too polite." Chen Yi really didn't know what to say.

The strange answer left the office cold.

The department head seized the opportunity and said cleanly, "Our course progress isn't fast; I'll call each of you teachers shortly to make arrangements."

If it were another student, arriving twenty days late might not necessarily bring punishment, but it certainly wouldn't be pleasant; a scene of people surrounding them usually only happens when a sparrow flies into the building.

News of Chen Yi attending class spread rapidly, but the main direction of the spread was not students, but various companies and groups.

Although he himself felt nothing about it, because of his frequent travel to the West Continent, Chen Yi's opportunities to appear in public sharply decreased.

His last appearance was already one and a half months ago.

After such a long time, someone had long wanted to ask him some questions.
