Chapter 992: Chapter 785: Rebuilding the Riot Control Mobile Unit

Xu Yang returned to headquarters.

The situation on the strategic table was crystal clear.

With the operation in North Silla successfully completed, Modern Entertainment Company has been trapped in the narrow confines of South Silla, presenting a besieged posture.

No more room for expansion, Li Minhuan. Xu Yang thought to himself.

"We’ve secured the last unresolved disputed territory in the Eastern Hemisphere," Lila announced.

"Fortunately, we acted in time. If North Silla had been penetrated by Modern Entertainment, the entire peninsula would have been like a sword piercing into our heart," Xu Yang remarked.

If Li Minhuan unifies the peninsula, he’ll become an undeniable threat. The closest point between the Silla Peninsula and the Northern Archipelago is less than 200 kilometers.

Currently, Xia is seeking to challenge Western Hemisphere dominance and doesn’t want to fight at their doorstep, adopting a neutral stance while strategically aligning with Nestor Corporation.

As for Modern Entertainment’s new president, Li Minhuan, he is an ambitious leader. Ever since the war three years ago, he has been determined to restore the peninsula, followed by grand expansion plans, which will undoubtedly target Nestor Corporation eventually.

South Silla has technological and financial strength; North Silla has manpower and mineral resources.

If the North and South unite, Nestor Corporation will face a formidable rival right at their doorstep.

Most importantly... the "Seven Seals" could easily lure Li Minhuan to their side.

Given Li Minhuan’s position, he would unhesitatingly accept external forces’ funding to attack Nestor Corporation.

Between two-dimensional entertainment and three-dimensional entertainment, there is no room for reconciliation!

Nestor Corporation’s covert maneuvers were like a scalpel severing the neural pathways of Li Minhuan, ensuring he could never touch North Silla’s manpower and resources, blocking his strategic advances.

For the next decade, Modern Entertainment Company is unlikely to achieve much; their last hope of turning things around has also been shattered.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that they’ve crushed the spine of Modern Entertainment—Li Minhuan will never cross the ceasefire line in his lifetime.

If Nestor Corporation collaborates further with Xia’s enterprises to suppress them, snatching the shipbuilding, automobile, mobile phone, and entertainment idol industries from Modern Entertainment’s hands, it’s highly probable they’ll be reduced to a second-rate company.

In short—thankfully, this execution perfectly resolved an invisible crisis while pulling North Silla entirely onto their side.

"Our drilling machines have already been deployed in North Silla’s mountains. According to a series of economic agreements, we can directly exchange food and construction materials for local rare metal mining rights," Lila reported.

"Countless priceless mineral deposits lie hidden in the mountains..." Xu Yang examined the resource distribution map.

"With these additional metal resources, the production cost of our Synthetic Human product line will drop another 4%, which means a greater competitive price advantage. Some emerging tech companies were considering imitating Synthetic Humans to compete against us in the market, but now they won’t be able to match our production volume or pricing," Lila remarked as she analyzed the changes in data.

With more raw materials in hand, Nestor Corporation can produce higher-quality and lower-cost goods to sell globally, profiting immensely from overseas consumers.

Currently, Nestor Corporation’s most critical resource support comes from the Moon. Thanks to the Moon Dragon Race’s assistance, a constant stream of minerals is delivered through portals to Nestor Corporation’s factories.

Another major asset is the Taiya Archipelago. After defeating Black Fire Innovation, most of the local oil, gas, rubber, minerals, and timber have fallen into Nestor Corporation’s hands.

Nestor Corporation also benefits from oil and gas fields in the Asahara Sea. After repeated expansions, large amounts of crude oil are transported daily to Shangjing or Jialong Slope for processing—calling the profitability of the petroleum industry "money-printing" would be an understatement.

Now they’ve secured stable access to coal, rare earths, and metals from North Silla!

With this, Nestor Corporation’s production capacity and security rise significantly—truly formidable.

Like an octopus, they extend across the Eastern Hemisphere, with countless ships sailing the Great Ocean to transport massive amounts of raw materials to industrial parks on the islands.

Once the five-year plan is completed, the residents of North Silla will no longer lag behind, and their society will present an entirely new appearance. Xu Yang thought to himself. By then, the Qiongting System will likely calculate new needs for the population, seamlessly integrating into the economic cycle.

"It feels like we’ve finally achieved ’hegemon’ status now," Xu Yang observed the situation.

"Yes, Master, right now every power understands that Nestor Corporation has truly become one of the world’s top three forces," Lila calmly replied.

Projecting influence is the key measure of a powerful force.

A force confined to dominating its own territory cannot influence global affairs—it’s merely strong within its own bounds.

Nestor Corporation’s intervention in North Silla exemplifies their robust influence over external affairs.

Being capable of intervening in the internal disputes of a region or directly dispatching warships to threaten a target at their doorstep—that is what defines a global superpower.

Moreover, the Hot Tree Continent and Agave Continent have quietly aligned with Nestor Corporation, and the final dispute in the Silla Peninsula has yielded a decisive outcome.

Undeniably, the world has now been officially divided into three powers: the Eastern Hemisphere Union, the West Coast Pact, and Nestor Corporation.

No matter what one attempts to do, they must obtain approval from one of these three factions to proceed; otherwise, intervention is inevitable. Every entity must seek backing from one of these three blocs, or else risk ostracism from the global stage.

Between the three, a delicate balance has been achieved.

Previously, Nestor Corporation established a 5-year peace agreement with the West Coast Pact after an extensive cyber warfare campaign.
