The reason Chen Yu only revealed his legitimate identity after he had basically subdued Merica was twofold. First, it was because he was about to leave Merica and wanted to intimidate those who had ideas.
Secondly, it is also to establish a positive image for oneself.
Some might think that if he had revealed his identity from the beginning, it would have been easier for him to establish Tianyu branch bases throughout Mereka.
Actually, that's not the case. In this extremely cold and apocalyptic world where resources are scarce, the environment is harsh, and order has collapsed, everything depends on strength and the resources at your disposal.
If you have neither a strong enough armed force nor the ability to bring benefits to the masses, who will care about you!
Even Vice President Merika, in this apocalypse, can only hide in a post-apocalyptic bunker to survive, right?
If he had revealed his identity beforehand, even if the people below recognized his worth, few would have truly believed him. After all, a so-called "commander-in-chief of the cold-weather relief efforts" who suddenly appears without any concrete actions or results to back it up is unlikely to inspire awe.
Moreover, revealing his identity too early would make it inappropriate for him to instruct his subordinates to "rescue" Merika's research resources, as this could lead to unnecessary trouble and questions.
Some people will question his motives, some will speculate whether there is a bigger conspiracy behind him, and some may even try to challenge his authority.
It's absurd that you, the commander-in-chief of the cold relief and disaster relief efforts in Mereka, would lead a group of people from Great Xia to plunder resources in Mereka.
But if he is a foreign power, then all of this makes sense. They provide you with food and lodging, so what's a little bit of junk they take away?
This is a perfect exchange!
But things are different now. The die is cast, and most of what needed to be moved has already been moved.
The families of the families from each branch base have also been received by Da Xia, so they probably won't dare to cause any more trouble.
Only by revealing his identity now can he maintain his legitimate rule and prevent others from using it as an excuse to cause trouble in the future.
If anyone causes trouble again, then his rule will be illegitimate and unjustifiable. Not only will the disaster victims who are already living a "good life" not follow him, but he can also legitimately suppress them, which is very beneficial to his long-term rule.
Chen Yu knew that the consolidation of power lay not only in the conquest by force, but also in the allegiance of the people.
His legitimate status is both an affirmation of his past efforts and a prelude to his future rule.
At least for now, his move seems to be working well.
Whether it was Vice President Jack of Merica, who had long wanted to surrender to Chen Yu, or Major General Jones, the commander of the "Capital Region Joint Task Force" who couldn't bear to lose face, after learning that Chen Yu was the "Commander-in-Chief of Merica's Cold Relief and Disaster Relief Efforts," they all expressed their willingness to submit and fully cooperate with Chen Yu's work.
With no more burdens in their hearts, they became even more enthusiastic towards Chen Yu.
The news quickly spread throughout Merica, like a warm spring breeze dispelling the gloom in people's hearts. The disaster victims began to believe that this leader from afar could truly lead them out of the apocalypse and rebuild their homes.
…………
Four months have passed since Chen Yu and his group first landed on the continent of Merica. Chen Yu has completely taken control of Merica, and "Tianyu Branch Bases" have been established in various places.
In each of the branch bases, large-scale modern industrial production lines have either resumed busy production or are under construction.
Because Merica is too far from the Tianyu base headquarters in Zhongyang City, Daxia, in order to manage it more conveniently and effectively.
Chen Yu implemented a capital management system in Merica.
Apart from projects that guarantee basic livelihoods, such as energy, greenhouse farms, and hospitals, every factory and every production line is owned by a shareholding system.
These shares are open to subscription not only by Tianyu's internal employees and senior management, but also to the base's investors, encouraging them to invest in the form of equipment, technology, or labor, and to participate in production and profit sharing.
Chen Yu's move greatly inspired the people of Merika. They saw hope in rebuilding their homes and the possibility of playing an important role in this new order. As a result, large numbers of people flocked to the various branch bases, becoming workers, technicians, or managers, contributing their hands and wisdom to the revival of Merika.
Of course, Chen Yu was the major shareholder of all these factories. However, he was very principled. He only owned 51% of each factory, leaving the rest to the factory workers and individuals and groups who made outstanding contributions during the reconstruction process.
This equity distribution method not only ensured Chen Yu's control over the various companies, but also fully stimulated the enthusiasm and creativity of the general public and employees.
Most importantly, this approach tightly binds those people's interests to his. If any problems arise, these workers or managers who hold shares will probably be even more anxious than he is.
These vested interests will become the solid foundation of Chen Yu's rule in Merica.
They knew that their interests were closely linked to Chen Yu's decisions, so they would spare no effort to support his leadership and actively participate in the reconstruction of Merica.
What excites them most is that even in peacetime, they still have to pay taxes when they start a company or receive wages.
At the Tianyu base, Chen Yu actually implemented a complete tax exemption system for them.
Not only do employees not have to pay taxes on their wages, but even the major shareholders of those mega-factories do not have to pay taxes on their profits.
