Chapter 407 A New Phase of War



"I'm truly astonished. Honestly, I didn't expect you to manage the production department so neatly so quickly. Not only did your cleanup not cause chaos, but after quickly restoring order, you actually managed to significantly increase the department's efficiency."

In just one month, the production department's output has already reached a record high. This was achieved despite the chaos and temporary stagnation of the production line in the previous few days! It's foreseeable that the production department will continue to achieve great results in the new month.

Yan Xiao looked at Chen Yan, who had just finished reporting on his work, with unconcealable admiration in his eyes.

After personally making a cup of coffee for Chen Yan, he continued, "I've actually thought about the possible outcomes of handing the production department over to you. These outcomes are both good and bad. The bad outcome is undoubtedly that you mess things up, making a mess of the production department, and ultimately requiring the entire board of directors to clean up the mess for you.

The good news is that you've done a fantastic job, not only resolving the problems that had been accumulating in the production department but also getting it back on track and brimming with new vitality. But honestly, even in my best expectations, I never imagined you'd achieve this level of success."

Chen Yan took the cup handed to him by Yan Xiao with both hands.

After taking a sip of coffee, he said modestly, "This is all thanks to the full support of the board of directors. Without their support, I certainly wouldn't have achieved what I have today. The problems in the production department are too serious, and the board is willing to let me make such drastic reforms. Such courage is truly commendable."

Yan Xiao waved his hand and said, "There's no need to say such empty words. The board of directors supports everyone equally, there's no favoritism. But you're the only one who can achieve this. You were able to thoroughly investigate the production department in just one month.

Then, in just one month, you managed the production department perfectly, and even saw a dramatic increase in production efficiency. This has nothing to do with the support of our board of directors. At least no matter which director was in charge, they would never be able to achieve your current results.

To be honest, I still don't understand how you managed to get so much information about the production department. But I'm just curious. If you want to talk, go ahead. If you don't want to, I won't force you. Everyone has secrets; it's normal. I understand."

Chen Yan said frankly, "It's really not convenient to say. This method... uh... is a bit inhumane. If the problems in the production department weren't so serious, I wouldn't actually want to do this."

Yan Xiao was stunned for a moment, and became even more curious about Chen Yan's method of checking the production department.

However, since Chen Yan didn't intend to explain his doubts, he didn't want to continue asking questions and changed the subject directly, saying, "The changes in the production department have given the company great confidence, allowing the company to become bolder and more radical when accepting production tasks issued by the Red Country.

Over the past month, the war between the Crimson Nation and the Order of Embers has intensified. According to the company's current understanding, both the Crimson Nation and the Order of Embers have begun sending infiltration troops, attempting to wreak bloody destruction on each other's rear areas.

"Infiltration troops? Sabotage the rear? Is that the kind of infiltration and sabotage I understand?" Chen Yan asked with a frown.

Yan Xiao nodded and said, "I'm not sure how you understand it, but it shouldn't be much different. The Scarlet Nation and the Order of Embers are evenly matched on the front lines. Fierce clashes and confrontations erupt between the two sides every day, causing immense losses to both factions. As time goes on, even the top factions are beginning to find it difficult to bear such losses.

Wars are fought on logistics. Beyond manpower, the support provided by logistics is crucial to the duration of a war. After suffering enormous casualties and still unable to achieve substantial results in the war, the two top powers have begun to shift their focus to each other's logistics. This is the fundamental reason for their deployment of infiltration troops.

Chen Yan thought for a moment and asked, "Then our Kahn Company can be considered the Red Nation's logistics line, right? Is it possible that the Knights of Embers' infiltration forces could come to our territory and cause trouble?"

Yan Xiao shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about that. The infiltration teams sent by the two top forces are at least led by a ruler. In the Order of Embers, once you become an Awakener, you will be rated as an apprentice knight. Awakeners of levels three to five are full knights, those of levels six to eight are Black Iron Knights, and those of level nine are Bronze Knights.

One-star rulers are Silver Knights, two-star rulers are Gold Knights, three-star rulers are Holy Knights, and there are four four-star rulers, collectively known as the Four Knights of the Night. There is only one five-star ruler, the Grand Marshal of the Order of Embers. The composition of the upper echelons is largely similar to that of the Crimson Nation.

According to the intelligence provided by the Crimson Nation, the Knights of Embers' infiltration teams are generally led by a Silver Knight or a Gold Knight, with three to five Bronze Knights and around ten Iron Knights, forming elite squads of a dozen or so, who infiltrate our area.

This kind of power configuration is sufficient for dealing with small forces, but it would be insufficient for dealing with medium-sized forces. As for large forces like ours, if an infiltration force dares to come, we will definitely make sure they never return."

Chen Yan felt relieved and said, "So, the so-called infiltration forces can only destroy some small settlements, or attack transport teams on the logistics line. The threat to medium and large forces is very limited, so we don't need to worry too much."

"Indeed, the battle between the Crimson Nation and the Knights of Embers is extremely brutal, and they can't spare many strong men to carry out this kind of infiltration mission. Judging by the current development of the situation, it won't be long before I will be drafted to the front lines by the Crimson Nation."

Yan Xiao sighed and continued, "Even if he's called up, it'll probably be a few months later, so there's no need to worry too much about it right now. Right now, there's something we really need to address immediately, so I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to think of a solution."

Chen Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"

"We need a lot of fresh blood!"
