Chapter 283: Private Force
'There's nothing for me to lose by listening to what he had in his mind… Let's go along and see what is he's trying to do here.' it was the longest few minutes of silence Jason Deng ever had in his life.
Being seated with Zhang Qin Feng on the same table somewhat gives him an overbearing sense towards all other people. It was akin to the quote, "Only one man above, but ten thousand below."
Zhang Qin Feng was like a god to him right now. Coming with nothing except a taser, this individual could kickstart multiple changes in less than a quarter of the year on this local island.
Even him, with so much physical gold in hand, would find this difficult to achieve.
Of course, Zhang Qin Feng's success and failure were due to what he was blessed with. Jason Deng was lucky to have inherited this position from his father, the previous president of this island.
As for Zhang Qin Feng was due to Stein, a miracle created by the last surviving pureblood from where it came before her death.
"Look's like you've decided." Zhang Qin Feng chuckled as he took another bite of the Plant-Based A6 Steak. The flavor from the mock meat was so surreal that even Jason Deng would believe this was an authentic beef steak.
"Listen well…"
"The medical body here was just a start. What I am aiming for is to create my own militarized forces to protect myself and my interest. Since you're considered part of my people, you're naturally included as one of my interests."
"I'm sure I don't even need to explain further about my background. With the Wang Family's Young Lady and the Jun's Conglomerate Princess is here, you've likely had an idea who I really am, correct?" Zhang Qin Feng said.
The fork in his hand went for another piece of the steak.
"Yes…" Jason Deng nodded. It was clear that what he had done was unable to escape from Zhang Qin Feng. But instead of getting reprimanded for being a busybody, all he got from him was a smile.
A smile that is more menacing and threatening than a cold dagger beside his throat.
"Since you know who I am, did your source tell you about my previous background before the accident?" Zhang Qin Feng continued. His following answer would be depending on how much Jason Deng knows.
"Yes, Boss. The acting captain of Tianhe Special Squadron." Jason Deng answered.
"Good. That means you know almost everything about me. This would make everything easier. To tell you the truth, my support allows me to do more things in extremity, based on how much I want." Zhang Qin Feng said.
"After the medical and military, we'll be slowly focusing in the world of Artificial Intelligence. While I'm still planning on what to do with my support, you should attract talented individuals to come and work with us using lucrative wages."
"Naturally, the first batch of people would receive the Support Bracket from the Democratic Country of Marianna. As for those who came after them, you may adjust the tax bracket accordingly. The decision would be up to you as long the country doesn't get into debt."
"Also, start preparing a side fund, make it around half a billion Dongcheng Dollars. They will be used for the upcoming development after the first two are completed."
"By the way… Start preparing the paperwork regarding the militarized forces as well. Make them independent mercenary forces that were originated and employed by the Marianna government to protect the country's interest from outsiders." Zhang Qin Feng said.
"Boss, why would you want to make it like this? Your suggestion is no different from issuing the armed forces a private license using the Marianna government. You might face multiple armed convention restrictions and also get restricted from entering other countries legally." Jason Deng quickly interrupted before Zhang Qin Feng continued.
His concern was logical at some point. No matter how big or small is a country's military forces, they're bound to a specific restriction here and there. The number of firearms, troops, equipment, licensing, training, doctrine, and so on.
Almost everything had a restriction placed on them to ensure that no country gained military supremacy over another. But while the convention's regulation sounds fair and equal in the public, it was biased to a particular group of superpowers.
The Pacific Union, the Democratic Union, the Continent of Southern States, and the Oceana Alliance.
They're the world's four superpowers, controlling over the four largest continents. As the primary representative of the North, South, East, and West, a word from one of the four is more influential than a country like Dongcheng and Han Country.
But no matter how influential these superpowers were, they had a weakness. The convention was capable of restricting the development of the countries, but not the mercenaries registered in their countries.
This gave the private mercenary a certain degree of freedom in their expansion.
Although there are a few limitations in the freedom given, these groups could at least operate without needing to answer to a specific government on what they're doing. But in exchange for all of these, the groups were usually taxed heavily to control them from running wild.
Establishing a private mercenary force might be a practical approach for Zhang Qin Feng. Still, if he plans to take a payslip from outsiders, more paperwork must be done before that.
The only advantage over here was that he controlled this Marianna government from the shadows.
No…
When it comes to advantages, Zhang Qin Feng had another one. The others might have control over multiple benefits. Still, they don't have Zhang Qin Feng's Dimensional Travel and the assistance from another world's technology.
"So? Who cares? By the time Marianna grew to be a titanic figure around this sea, not even the Continent of Southern States could ignore us." Zhang Qin Feng said.
"Don't worry about it and just go along with my plan. Handle the paperwork, and I'll handle the rest." Zhang Qin Feng smiled at Jason Deng and finished the last bite of the steak on his plate.
