In addition to using "hostages" to bind them, Chen Yu also adopted a series of ingenious strategies in managing these senior leaders of Merica, aiming to both maintain their loyalty and maximize their potential.
The construction of Tianyu's branch base in Rocky City is not the end point, but merely the beginning.
Although Tianyu Rocky Branch Base only has one base commander, Merica is so large that it is impossible to build only one branch base.
During the subsequent expansion, if they perform well enough, they will be promoted again.
Furthermore, once Tianyu's branch bases have flourished throughout Merica, one of them will ascend to the throne of "Chief of Tianyu Base Merica Branch," leading all the branch bases in Merica.
This alluring prospect acted like an invisible rope, tightly binding the hearts of these high-ranking officials in Merica. They began to work even harder, not only for their own and their families' safety, but also for that power seat comparable to that of the president.
They began to expand beyond Rocky City into surrounding cities, using their respective resources and influence to win over local forces and people through various means.
Of course, they inevitably suffered ridicule, violent resistance, and even armed attacks from the other side.
However, although their individual military strength is limited, the International Militia for Cold Relief is their strong support.
Whenever encountering violent resistance and attackers, the armed drones on the "cold-weather relief airship" are deployed to suppress the rioters with force.
Then they invoked the names of the Merica government and navy as a guarantee of the legitimacy of their actions.
Once people dared not resist anymore, they began distributing relief supplies in the city to win the support and trust of the masses.
Finally, Chen Yu led the "International Militia Corps for Cold Relief and Disaster Relief" to the area and announced the establishment of the Tianyu branch base there, making everything fall into place naturally.
Then they won over local gentry and used the same methods to get them to work for Tianyu Base.
Those wealthy gentry who came from the previous branch base to "conquer the world" were naturally promoted and ennobled.
Some less ambitious gentry would choose to remain in their local branch bases and assume important positions, enjoying the newly established power and status.
They became the "agents" of Tianyu Base in various cities, responsible for management and operation, and also served as a bridge between Chen Yu and the local people to ensure that policies and instructions could be implemented smoothly.
Those tycoons who still harbored greater ambitions, or those who were unwilling to accept their fate, would continue to the next region as "pioneers" of the Tianyu base, to conquer new territories.
Of course, the "gentry" mentioned here are not all the rich and politicians. There are also many capable ordinary Merika people who, in this chaotic and desolate world, have finally seen a chance to defy fate and naturally want to seize it.
These ordinary people in Merica either attract a group of followers through their personal charisma or work together in groups of dozens or hundreds to seek opportunities for development in this "new era".
These teams that went to other places to establish branch bases, whether they were teams of wealthy gentry or teams of ordinary people, were all collectively called "anti-cold disaster relief pioneer teams". As long as they had a certain strength, they could register in the "anti-cold disaster relief international militia legion" and go to other places for "disaster relief".
In their next operations, they will receive military support from the "International Militia Corps for Cold Weather Relief," and their achievements will be recorded, leading to future promotions and titles.
With this combination of "using beauty to subdue beauty, and using beauty to control beauty," almost no one could stop the expansion of Tianyu Base.
Furthermore, it also ensured the safety of the soldiers of the "Cold Relief Militia Corps" to the greatest extent possible.
Seeing Tianyu branch bases springing up like mushrooms after rain all over Mereka, Chen Yu felt very gratified.
On this day, Chen Yu and the management team of the "Cold Relief Airship Squadron" sat in the command room of Airship No. 1, remotely controlling the situation in various places, just like every day.
On the screen, real-time footage from various sub-bases constantly switched, showcasing the construction progress, the living conditions of the people, and the progress of the "Cold Relief and Disaster Relief Pioneer Team."
"I thought Merika would be hard to conquer, but it turned out to be easy? It's much simpler than when we established a branch base in Great Xia," Lin Lele said with a disdainful look.
“The people of Merica are naturally unruly, making it difficult for them to form large forces in different regions. Moreover, the people of Merica are not as united as the people of our Great Xia. People from immigrant countries like this rarely have a strong sense of belonging to their own country. They are all selfish and self-serving, sophisticated egoists. As long as they are given enough benefits, they can throw all notions of national righteousness and national spirit to the back of their minds,” Zhao Feng, the airship squadron commander, analyzed earnestly.
"Xiao Zhao, that's good, your analysis is quite thorough," Lin Lele praised.
"Thank you for the compliment, Commander," Zhao Feng replied humbly.
“Commander Zhao, I don’t agree with what you’re saying,” Niu Ke said in a deep voice.
Zhao Feng's words were full of disparagement towards the people of Mereka, which naturally made him, a Mereka who had lived in Mereka for half his life, very uncomfortable.
“Yes, the people of Merika are indeed not as united as the people of Great Xia. When all order collapses, the people of Merika are just a disorganized mob, always thinking only of their own interests.” But that doesn’t mean they are without value or power. Niusk’s words carried a hint of dissatisfaction as he looked firmly at Zhao Feng. “In this chaotic land, everyone is struggling to survive, whether they are people of Great Xia or people of Merika. They are simply searching for a glimmer of hope in their own way.”
