Re:Zero - Starting a Different World Industry

William seized the fleeting opportunity and ordered the Royal Guard to make a rapid breakthrough.

They stormed the settlement at top speed.

The reason these rebels stopped fleeing north was that the north was already the frigid far north.

Secondly, the Space Force, having received the message, dispatched ground troops to intercept them.

Although only 3000 people from the Space Force came.

But don't forget that the equipment these Space Force personnel carry is miles ahead of the Guards.

The orcs dared not continue their northward retreat.

They could only wait for death in the settlement.

The Imperial Guard stormed the settlement without lifting a finger.

And incidentally, he also rescued those few Great Yan undercover agents.

Several intelligence agents went to great lengths to rescue the person, and then fled in a panic.

They were rescued by the Imperial Guard halfway there.

If they don't come to their aid, they will be able to wait for the Guards to arrive in two or three hours at most.

However, that's not actually the case.

If it weren't for their disturbance.

The Imperial Guard could not possibly seize this fleeting opportunity.

Without the opportunities they created, the Guards would have had a hard time wiping out the enemy.

As the Royal Guards stormed into the encampment.

After a day of fierce fighting.

The Guards soldiers successfully planted the national flag in the assembly area.

This definitively sealed the fate of the orcs.

If only they hadn't chosen to rebel.

Perhaps the ending will be a different story.

But there are no "what ifs" in this world.

Every adult must take responsibility for their choices.

With the fall of the orc resistance.

The resistance forces within the Papal States have been disbanded.

Although the Papal States were several levels stronger than the Orc Empire before, they have now been shattered by the Great Yan.

Their strength is nowhere near that of the Orc Empire.

The two sides' levels of resistance were not on the same level.

The orc rebels are all dead, so what's the point of them still waving the banner of rebellion?

With the announcement of the dissolution of the Papal States resistance organization.

Only scattered resistance groups are still fighting against the Great Yan in the whole world.

But these scattered resistance groups will soon be wiped out.

Because now the defense forces are free to do their work.

The number of active-duty soldiers in the National Defence Forces exceeds 200 million.

Most of the elite troops have been incorporated into the Space Force in preparation for the space race.

The military will gradually reduce the size of the national defense forces.

The expenditure of a 200 million-strong defense force is enormous.

However, the cost of a 20-strong space force is much higher.

Moreover, there are plans to increase the Space Force to 60 personnel.

Of these, 40 had to be selected from the National Defense Force.

As for the remaining 150 million troops, they will face a very harsh reality.

That means they will be gradually screened out by the National Defense Force.

Of course, these soldiers who were screened out will be properly resettled.

This is mainly because the responsibilities of the national defense forces have become lighter.

In addition, the National Defense Forces generally operate on land.

The stage for the future is in space.

Not all soldiers in the IDF are suited for space.

Therefore, survival of the fittest is the norm.

However, a portion of the national defense forces will still be retained.

After all, who can guarantee that there won't be any problems on the ground in the future?

The future national defense forces will be gradually dismantled.

At the same time, most of the paratroopers were also prioritized and sent to the Space Force.

William's guards, however, were not reduced in number.

On the contrary, his guards were expanded.

Because there are far too many outstanding soldiers in the National Defense Forces.

These soldiers were all elites, selected from among the best.

It's obviously impossible to just let them retire like that.

As a result, William transformed into a junk collector and began frantically scavenging for bargains.

They specifically went to various military units to select the talent they wanted.

What? You're saying you won't release them?

Are you just going to let talented people return to society like this?

The various units had no choice but to compromise.

For a long time to come, William became a figure hated by all military forces.

for example.

You are a soldier in the National Defense Army.

Your most respected squad leader was suddenly called away by his superiors at noon.

You will train as usual this afternoon.

When I got home that night, I found that my class monitor was gone.

Who can accept this?

This is unacceptable to anyone!

However, these ordinary soldiers of the National Defense Army also knew that the old squad leader being selected was actually better for him.

At least the old sergeant doesn't have to face retirement.

Although the Imperial Guard was selected based on the principle of choosing the best of the best, with priority given to the young.

However, the Imperial Guard was quite lenient with these older veterans.

Of course, every time William selected a group of people, he would ask them if they were willing to return to normal life.

William will not force these people to stay if they want to return to society.

Because the military itself is a melting pot.

Young people are definitely physically stronger than older people.

Not to mention Lyon's guards, the Royal Guard?

This is a cruel reality, so cruel that everyone has to abide by it.

With the defeat of the resistance organization.

The entire Great Yan Dynasty entered a period of peaceful development.

With no war and the wartime debuff completely removed, the economy of the Great Yan Dynasty has been growing rapidly every year.

The factory's productivity was freed up to produce other things.

People's lives are getting better and better.

Ordinary people already have spare money.

Now they can finally spend their spare money.

As productivity is unleashed, more and more products are being made available to ordinary people.

The people of Dayan went from having enough to eat and wear to eating and dressing well.

Lyon's personal prestige also reached its peak.

With the suppression of resistance forces both domestically and internationally.

The Great Yan Dynasty has fully entered its upward phase.

The proportion of military spending is decreasing.

It had even reached 20 to 30 percent of GDP at one point.

If it weren't for Lyon's ability to unite the team...

In addition, the people did have food to eat.

Otherwise, they would have rebelled long ago.

With the end of the war, all productive forces were unleashed, and ordinary people began to live a good life.

The development of the Space Force is also progressing steadily.

Lyon finally had time to rest.

Before we knew it, three years had passed in the blink of an eye.

Three years later, in Lyongrad, at the Duke's Palace.

It was winter, and for some reason, neither Lyonger nor the Great Yan mainland were experiencing the Winter of Divine Punishment anymore.

Since the founding of the nation, the homeland has never been afflicted by the winter of divine punishment.

The residents of Lyongrad are preparing to welcome the New Year.

The Duke's mansion was also bustling with activity.

Three years have passed, and the Duke's mansion has not changed much.

Just like three years ago, and even when the country was first founded.

The Duke's mansion has not undergone any renovations or expansions.

At most, the exterior walls of the Duke's mansion had been repainted.

At this moment, Lyon was sitting in his bedroom, answering a phone call from the Glacier Base.

After three years of preparation, the Space Force is ready.

At this moment, Allen was reporting the latest progress of the Space Force to Leon.

From Allen, Leon learned that the Space Force had made its final preparations.

The final battle is ready!

After receiving the news that preparations were complete, Lyon took a deep breath.

What is supposed to come finally comes...
