Chapter 978: Establishing the Defense Zone

Seized this region where small states were densely scattered.

The Faction: Defense Company's expansion direction was gone.

Because what remained were only some major countries.

There was basically no need for defense contracting.

Elsewhere, they were still Western colonies.

Now it was not advisable for them to directly participate.

Nevertheless, the Faction: Defense Company had already generated tremendous influence worldwide.

In turbulent and unstable regions, after the Faction: Defense Company joined, they began to quickly become stable.

Especially after large numbers of Daxia people poured in, the economic outlook also rapidly improved.

Selling their bodies and souls, their lives quickly improved.

They were very grateful.

Primary industry and mining quickly expanded.

At the same time, due to wars among the impoverished, the Faction: Defense Company's equipment was exposed on a large scale.

The Faction: Defense Company's arms industry also began to flourish.

At this point, the Faction: Defense Company again applied to the United Nations to become a UN force.

The Faction: Defense Company took maintaining peace as its mission.

Although they failed again, the Defense Army's appearance had undergone tremendous improvement.

Naturally, their influence also gained a tremendous boost.

Because of the Faction: Defense Company, Daxia's civilian arms trade began to flourish.

Especially after the Faction: Defense Company fully introduced Heavenly Net technology.

The Defense Company's modernization level received a tremendous boost.

The Faction: Defense Company's expansion temporarily stalled.

Character: Character: Yang Feihong and the Consultation Department began discussing business expansion.

"Now our Defense Zone captures large numbers of illegal immigrants or smugglers every day."

"Because the numbers were too high, the authorities even directly released them."

"If this continues, it will become increasingly difficult for us."

"Our Defense Zone, extending five kilometers forward and backward, is all under our direct administration."

"These areas lying idle on a large scale are actually a kind of waste."

"Rather than leave them idle, we should develop them."

"Whether running farms or developing other industries, it is a very good source of income."

"We only need to detain the people we capture and put them through labor reform."

"To use them to develop our border regions."

"Once these people have a livelihood, they will naturally not cause us trouble."

"Moreover, doing this has another benefit: it deepens our binding relationship."

"Once the border regions are developed, even if they want to take them back, they must consider the difficulty and the opinions of the people in those border areas."

Character: Character: Yang Feihong thought, if it were just a single border, there would be risk—who knows whether conflict might break out.

In places where both sides have entrusted border defense duties to them, each side has a five‑kilometer Defense Zone under their control.

Combined, that makes ten kilometers, which in Daxia's measurement is twenty li wide, an endless stretch of land.

Whether developing farms or other industries, it is sufficient.

Since these areas lie on the border, they are risky and dangerous, so the land is also very cheap.

"That's a good idea—then go find their leaders and purchase the land back."

"Then, following your idea, we will reform on the spot the people we have captured."

"Making money, no hesitation."

After the Consultation Department obtained Character: Character: Yang Feihong's agreement, it immediately contacted Azure Cloud Company, formed a survey and planning team, and began planning the land under the Faction: Defense Company's control.

The land purchase also went smoothly; for these places, these countries, they were all eager to avoid.

Seeing the Faction: Defense Company willing to buy at a low price, they sold it to the Faction: Defense Company.

They did not realize that ownership plus control amounted to a state within a state.

From this one can see that the Yang Family's talent lies in construction; upon arriving there, the first thing they think of is the building problem.

After the matter was settled, the illegal immigrants and smugglers were considered to have run terribly bad luck.

The Faction: Defense Company, for its construction needs, employed all Thirty‑Six Stratagems, continually luring people over, then capturing them to reclaim land.

Today, they themselves had a loophole; a group of illegal immigrants ran over and were then caught.

Tomorrow, the Faction: Defense Company's personnel, who were resting today, had a group come over and were then caught.

The day after tomorrow, after we had arranged it, the Faction: Defense Company's personnel were bribed by us, a large group of people went over and were then arrested.

The key is that the people on this side still do not know they have failed.

Because the Faction: Defense Company's personnel made clean arrests, they leaked no word.

Therefore, the Faction: Defense Company purchased many drones capable of launching ropes and capture nets.

Border patrols also made extensive use of infrared drones.

With the support of Heavenly Net, there is fundamentally no need to worry about signal problems.

Character: Character: Yang Feihong came to the border, inspected the patrol drone platform, and gave it a five‑star rating.

Although it cost a bit more, this efficiency is off the charts.

For this region, the border defense that's rotted like a net is simply deadly.

Those who were used to moving freely between the two countries, coming and going as if in an uninhabited land, suffered a catastrophic disaster.

Suddenly, rules were in place here.

Although unwilling, there was no choice but to reluctantly accept and obediently go through the checkpoint.

This also increased tariff revenue for various countries, giving the Defense Company a high evaluation.

The Defense Company was also pleased; as the border region developed, the resources under their control increased.

Especially those who have surveyed and found mineral resources—just one word: dig, dig them hard for me.

They wished they could dig them all clean right away.

As time passed, the border region's development improved, naturally attracting large numbers of Daxia people to come do business.

The border region's economic activity improved steadily.

As economic activity grew lively, it naturally attracted more people to come.

Locals, in a short time, couldn't yet react from the chaotic border impression, while Daxia people followed Daxia merchants and came in swarms.

They purchased land around the border area and built factories.

Thanks to the Defense Company's convenience, products could be conveniently sold to two countries, even three.

The more countries the border overlaps, the more precious that place becomes, and the more people gather there.

By the time the locals reacted, they could only eat the leftovers of the Big Building people.

Even so, they were delighted, because the Defense Company was in charge, making the economy open and free of many chaotic things.

Naturally, they also attracted even more people's enthusiasm.

Soon, the development here attracted the government's covetousness.

The Defense Company firmly refused, allowing only tax authorities to enter, and rejecting everything else.

The reason was also sufficient; this is the Defense Company's controlled zone.

If you have the ability, you can also develop the area next to it.

The government obtained tax authority from the Defense Company, without overly provoking them; they obediently started construction beside it.

Although it wasn't as lively as the border zone, it was still much stronger than other places.

There's no way; if you aren't fair, people will all run to the Defense Company zone.
