Starship Restaurant
Zhao Chen looked at Charlotte, whose appetite had clearly shrunk by half.
"You don't seem to have much of an appetite today? Why did you only order five servings of dried fish? You usually order at least ten servings a day," Zhao Chen asked, looking at the five empty plates.
Charlotte sighed: "I...I'm a little worried...about whether I can do a good job as...the leader of the alliance."
"I have no problem fighting wars, but managing the Beast Alliance... this... this... how about letting my father do it instead?"
Charlotte looked at Zhao Chen expectantly.
Zhao Chen looked at Charlotte with a firm gaze: "Charlotte, I know you don't have much talent in this area."
But you must learn to recognize and utilize people effectively.
Take, for example, Chief Huya, and Hu Xin'er who's always following you around. I think they're both talented in governance. They're quite good at gathering and utilizing intelligence.
One reason we were able to return in time and thwart the peace talks was the tacit cooperation of Chief Foxya; otherwise, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.
Charlotte nodded repeatedly: "That's right! The Black Fox Clan has always been the brain trust of our Revolutionary Army. Although they don't have very strong combat capabilities."
However, they possess strong command and strategic abilities, and in the fleets of various tribes, there is always a staff officer or adjutant from the Black Fox Clan.
"Just like our Secretary Lilith."
Look at me, actually, besides... developing those starship technologies, I don't have any other outstanding abilities.
When it comes to commanding battles, let alone you, Shen Bing and Su Lan are all better than me.
When it comes to handling internal affairs, finances, and logistics, Lilith is miles ahead of me.
I just need to delegate these tasks to them.
This is like a ship sailing on the sea. Each department has its own people in charge, and most of the time I only need to keep track of the ship's direction.
Sometimes, I don't even need to steer the ship myself!
..." Zhao Chen then began to enthusiastically discuss his governance methods with Charlotte.
Charlotte was also taking notes of what Zhao Chen said, as if she were exploring a new continent.
"This method actually has a crucial point."
That is, to know people and use them well! Zhao Chen crossed his arms, adopting a profound posture.
These four characters may seem simple, but there are actually many intricacies involved.
If Zhao Chen didn't have a cheat-like ability that allows him to see through whether others are hostile towards him...
He really didn't dare to relinquish power so easily and become a hands-off manager.
"Wait a minute, I'll give you a list. Just use the people on the list without worry."
These people, at least for now, won't cause any problems. Zhao Chen's so-called list is actually just a way to get some people onto his starship so he can identify them.
"As for your suggestion just now, to have your father take on this leadership position."
Your father has the ability, but he doesn't have the prestige.
I said this back when you returned to Warhammer.
I want to create a 'god,' and you are the 'valkyrie' I create.
Your current prestige within the revolutionary army even surpasses that of their tribal chiefs.
This Beast Alliance is currently just a temporary team, leaking information everywhere and on the verge of collapse.
But with you, the Valkyrie, here, it's temporarily indestructible!
"Currently, within the Revolutionary Army, only you can achieve this!"
Charlotte sensed Zhao Chen's trust, and her heart began to pound.
She nodded emphatically: "I understand, I will do my best to fulfill my role as the leader of the Beast Alliance!"
After saying that, Charlotte pressed the order button next to her.
Zhao Chen glanced at it and saw that another dozen fish were about to be devoured by the big white cat.
"Oh right, make some arrangements later, I need to meet with some people."
You should also start preparing for our next phase of the operational plan.
“As long as the combat resources are in place, we can move out at any time,” Charlotte said, blinking.
Zhao Chen said helplessly, "Right now, we lack combat resources."
We've only just escaped the civil war in the Starshine Empire, less than a month has passed. How many combat resources can we possibly have saved up?
Previous operations involved having a special fleet of interstellar missile ships infiltrate the Second Legion of the JF-17 Thunder, in order to deter the enemy.
This will mislead the enemy into thinking that each of our fleets has such strong firepower.
This caused the dragonkin fleets on other battlefields to back down.
Otherwise, if a real war were to break out, let alone whether we could win in the other four battlefields.
In the end, our losses will certainly be substantial.
Charlotte shrugged, indicating that there was nothing she could do about it.
Either we fight now, but if we lack combat resources, we can use the losses of interstellar battleships to make up for it.
Alternatively, they could wait until all combat resources were ready before launching an operation, using heavy firepower to minimize losses to their own fleet.
"Never mind, never mind. Let's just stick to the original plan."
"Anyway, we're not in a rush, we'll take it one step at a time," Zhao Chen muttered helplessly.
I'm short of money... I'm short of money...
This war is too expensive.

Star Dragon Palace
This is a large meteorite cluster located in the main star system of the Dragonkin tribe.
It was later transformed by the dragonkin tribe into a massive interstellar fortress, composed of meteorites of varying sizes.
After that, it was regarded as an imperial city by the dragon people tribe.
The Dragon King, the chieftain of the Dragonkin tribe, handles all matters concerning the Dragonkin tribe and the Warhammer Star Union here.
"Why weren't you told about this report before?!" A man with a dragon's head, human body, and dragon's tail angrily rebuked his dragon-man subordinate kneeling on one knee in the main hall.
"Because...because we never expected that this Dragon Legion would...develop so rapidly."
Although we know that the Dragon Tiger Legion in the Revolutionary Army is related to the Owl Dragon Star System of the Star Glory Empire, and that General Charlotte has intricate connections with the Owl Dragon Lord.
But you've seen the fighting power of the Dragon Tiger Legion.
It's only comparable to our dragonman fleet.
"Who could have imagined... that the Dragon Legion behind this... would be so powerful?" the dragon-man subordinate said, feeling wronged.
The Dragon Emperor looked at the information panel that appeared before him, which contained the latest data updated by the Dragon Legion.
The first one is that the new regime that Qin Xiaotian had just established in the Starry Empire was overthrown by Princess Qin Xiaolei, who was then officially crowned as the Empress of the Starry Empire.
And all of this is inextricably linked to a Dragon Lord of a Dragon Territory and his Dragon Legion.
It's fair to say that the word 'Xiaolong' appears quite frequently in this intelligence report about the Starry Empire.
This is enough to prove that the Dragon Legion is present everywhere in the current Star Empire's system!
