The Survival Committee naturally supported the Red Dragon Army.
But he only supported the Red Dragon Army in the form of public security army, city defense army, and fortress soldiers.
This meant that they had to be equipped with the average level of individual weapons from the middle of the twenty-first century on Earth and spread them widely among the families in Dragon City. Then, they could rely on the buildings, barricades, and fortresses to fight in low-intensity street battles against the monsters that randomly invaded Dragon City.
At most, they could head to the mines near Dragon City and rely on the fully automated steel defense lines to fight against the first wave of the monster horde until the superhumans arrived.
Having this kind of combat power was enough.
Basically, they were militia.
This idea of building an army could not be said to be wrong.
After all, in the face of the monster horde that filled the sky, the abnormal beasts that came and went without a trace, and the Apocalyptic Beasts that gathered in the forest and could summon wind and rain, no matter how many normal humans there were in the Red Dragon Army, they could not be decisive.
It was not impossible for him to increase the quality of the Red Dragon Army.
But that meant an astronomical amount of resources, a budget that was enough to make all the councilors hang themselves.
Over the past half a century, Dragon City had been lacking in resources.
The resources that slipped through the cracks of the nine mega corporations were even more scarce.
Besides, the nine mega corporations had their own private armed forces.
They were all old brothers who had fought alongside the founders of the company since the lawless Bloody Era.
These "old friends" could receive careful guidance from the creators of the nine mega corporations and the Deity Realm superhumans aside from Battle God Lei Zongchao.
Then, they split the advanced technology and spoils of war left behind by Blood Alliance's collapse.
They could also get endless benefits from the industries that monopolized the lifelines of Dragon City.
Since they had the advantage of being the first to attack, they naturally developed more powerful fighters than the Red Dragon Army. They also developed a lot of advanced technology and super equipment.
Even though their total strength could not compare to the Red Dragon Army, they walked the path of elites.
All the ace special forces in the Red Dragon Army might not be able to gain an advantage against the armed forces of the corporations.
As a result, in the past twenty to thirty years, if a poor powerhouse without any connections wanted to defend his home and make a name for himself at the same time, armed forces were the best choice.
Unless they were rejected by the armed forces of the corporations and had to settle for the next best thing, they would not consider joining the Red Dragon Army.
The Red Dragon Army naturally wanted to turn the situation around.
Forging railway guns was a path of "artillery doctrine."
He also went on several expeditions deep into Monster Mountain Range.
These were the two times the Red Dragon Army had worked hard to increase their status by gathering all their resources.
The problem was that the railway guns were large and useless. They had cost a lot of money to build, but before the northern offensive was won, they would not have enough ammunition. They would become the so-called "white elephant," which was a heavy burden that was not very useful.
The expedition into Monster Mountain Range also exposed the Red Dragon Army's lack of high-end fighting power. They were severely restricted by the logistics supply line, and the weak fighting power of normal soldiers. They relied heavily on their organization and discipline, but this organization and discipline could be easily destroyed by monsters. All sorts of problems were exposed.
In the end, the expeditions might have destroyed quite a number of monster nests.
But the Red Dragon Army also lost many soldiers and generals, and they suffered great losses.
In fact, they had to ask for reinforcements from the mega corporations and rely on the Deity Realm superhumans from the nine mega corporations to fight against the Apocalyptic Beasts. It was only then that they managed to avoid the tragedy of being completely wiped out.
After the Red Dragon Army suffered enough from the failure of the previous expeditions, they could only swallow their anger and turn into the subordinates of the armed forces of the corporations and the peerless elites.
Sure enough, in the next few expeditions, they achieved beautiful results.
It further proved the peerless elites' words.
"Only Deity Realm superhumans can fight against Apocalyptic Beasts, only Heaven Realm superhumans can fight against Hell Beasts, and only Earth Realm superhumans can fight against Nightmarish Beasts.
"So, the Red Dragon Army just needs to obediently play the role of public security army and militia. They just need to follow behind the powerful fighters and help us take care of the small fries around the powerful fighters."
From then on, it became increasingly difficult for the Red Dragon Army to fight for more money in the name of creating more railway guns and building a new ace squad.
The military budget and special war funds had to be increased year by year.
But should the limited funds be used to expand the Red Dragon Army or increase the fighting power of the peerless elites?
This was a problem.
And the Red Dragon Army did not have an answer that could prove its answer.
After all, even if the railway guns could really kill an Apocalyptic Beast with one blast, the Apocalyptic Beast would have to be willing to stand still and let the army blast it!
Apocalyptic Beasts like the Demonic Mountain were few in number.
Most of the time, the Red Dragon Army spent an astronomical amount of money to mobilize one hundred thousand soldiers and thousands of armored vehicles in an attempt to surround a mountain that was suspected to be occupied by a high-grade monster.
In the end, the high-grade monster heard the roars of the humans' steel army. It just patted its butt and left in a relaxed manner.
If the Red Dragon Army did not solve the problem of logistics and mobility, even if they increased the war funds by ten times and expanded the size of the Red Dragon Army by ten times, they would just force the politicians in charge of the budget to their deaths and break the belts of the taxpayers.
In Meng Chao's previous life, the northern offense was the Red Dragon Army's final effort.
As the northern offense failed miserably, the main force of the Red Dragon Army, including the Blade Squad, died.
This armed force that should have represented the greatest glory of Earth civilization was reduced to a public security army and militia. It became the vassals of the peerless elites and the armed forces of the corporations.
But Meng Chao's return to the past changed everything.
The Red Dragon Army seemed to have been reborn during the Red Radiance Jade tsunami. They controlled their own crystal mine and etherealized plant production area. They created powerful fighters who were absolutely loyal to the Red Dragon Army and broke through the limitations that had bound them for decades.
As long as they could break through their limits, sometimes, quantity was also a form of quality.
Two years later, the Red Dragon Army's advantage in terms of size finally showed itself, and its strength increased day by day like a rolling snowball.
More and more military technology was being developed, and more and more equipment that was not inferior to that of the armaments of the corporations were being put into active service. There were also more and more poor children who were willing to apply for military academies, and the rate at which the outstanding graduates of military academies were breaking through to new realms was also increasing.
During the pitched battle at the borders of Dragon City, the monster civilization chose a fighting style that was the most suitable for the Red Dragon Army to bring out its advantage in numbers and firepower.
In the end, there were too few superhumans who belonged to the nine great mega corporations.
They might be able to fight on equal grounds against high-grade monsters, but most of the monster hordes still needed the Red Dragon Army to fend off, capture, and destroy them.
The Red Dragon Army had to rely on its great strength to occupy the monster nests in the depths of the mountains and forests.
When the monster civilization was at its peak, if they ran into the fog-shrouded wild to occupy the monster nests without the protection of top-class superhumans, they would just be asking for their own deaths.
But things were different now. Practically all the high-grade monsters had been destroyed, and those who were lucky enough not to be killed had fled. The ferocious beasts in the past had turned into frightened birds. In fact, when they heard the humans' gunshots, they would be so terrified that they would become paralyzed. The fog that shrouded the wild was also disappearing at a visible speed. The humans' railways, internet, and big data tactical chains were expanding outward at an astonishing speed.
At this critical moment, no one was prepared for it, and whoever had more manpower would be able to get more spoils of war.
Clearly, there was no force of power in Dragon City that could compete with the Red Dragon Army in terms of numbers.
After all, one of the main goals of setting up the Red Dragon Army was to take in the extra people of working age so that they could fill their stomachs and train day after day, year after year, so that they could use up their excess energy so that they would not cause any trouble.
Who would have thought that Dragon City's gradual victory would arrive so soon?
Hence, aside from Meng Chao, the Red Dragon Army became the greatest beneficiary of the battle.
Superstar alone worked overtime day and night to harvest millions of tons of monster materials. Then, they used suitable methods to preserve and freeze them before they were delivered to the Red Dragon Army's camp and the military canning factory attached to it.
There were at least five joint harvesting companies that were slightly smaller than Superstar, and they served the Red Dragon Army as military contractors.
If the Red Dragon Army ate all the monster materials, it would be enough for the Red Dragon Army's overall fighting strength to reach another level, and they would completely stand above the nine great mega corporations.
It was no wonder then why the proud soldiers puffed out their chests and shouted that the Red Dragon Army was the saber of human civilization and that Dragon City's future would be decided by the Red Dragon Army when they were welcomed and cheered passionately by millions of citizens.
Of course, up to now, the peerless fighters from the mega corporations were still the pillars of support for Dragon City.
The Red Dragon Army obtained the most spoils of war.
The mega corporations obtained the highest quality spoils of war.
After all, most of the Apocalyptic Beasts were killed by the peerless fighters.
The fight against the Apocalyptic Beasts allowed the powerful fighters from the mega corporations to gain an epiphany, and they gained different degrees of breakthroughs.
The mega corporations that followed closely behind the Red Dragon Army might not have as many people as the mega corporations and their footsteps were not as orderly, but their vitality magnetic fields were like tidal waves that they did not bother hiding. It still caused the one million citizens to feel a suffocating pressure.
They were all superhumans. They wore crystalline high-grade motorized armor that had spirit energy surging into the air. To show off their strength, the people standing at the front of the line were Heaven Realm superhumans who had killed countless monsters and often appeared on the Hunting Rank. This was an absolutely grand lineup, and after a moment of silence, the crowd erupted in even louder cheers.
The endless cheers reached their peak when the Young Guards formed by the students from Dragon City University and the alliance of the five universities appeared.
They were young eagles who had just spread their wings. They were the rising sun. They were the golden generation!
Even now, their strength could not compare to the Red Dragon Army and the peerless fighters from the mega corporations, but they represented the future of Dragon City, the future of humanity, and even the future of the Other World!
"Dad, Mom, look! Big Brother is over there!"
Bai Jiacao swung her almost swollen palm and pointed at the formation not far away.
