Warhammer: Starting with Industrial Revolution

The day after finalizing the entire plan with Victor, the Mechanicus initiated the mass production process for the purification equipment. Even the Servo Skull Squad, responsible for the initial exploration, was already in place. The entire project required no further attention from Ronin.

Under Victor's arrangement, the Mechanical Church sent orders to the factory one after another.

Under Victor's arrangement, the Cult of Machines issued a series of production orders to the factory. The equipment needed to purify the soil and air will be mass-produced in an orderly manner in strict accordance with the STC standard template.

Later, when the Chief Mechanic needs mortal laborers, the recruited buses can be handed over to Olga.

After dealing with these matters, Luo Ning rushed to the Planetary Defense Force's camp for an inspection.

There, the veterans of the Astragalus Army brought by Milleyn have begun a comprehensive and systematic training program for the local defense forces.

Luo Ning made special arrangements: he selected the most experienced and skilled instructors to train these officers who had been pampered for too long in the general training camp, so that they could be transformed; the majority of the remaining veterans were split up and dispatched to various grassroots companies of the defense army to reshape the troops' tactics, discipline and combat capabilities from the squad and platoon level.

Under Ronin's instructions, the veterans had immense authority, and the commanders were not allowed to complain and had to unconditionally obey their orders.

However, at the same time, all actions of the veterans had to be supervised by the Governor's Office. They could report any disobedience by officers, and Ronin would personally decide on the punishment or reassignment of the commanders.

This is Luo Ning's first inspection since the military training camp was launched.

For him, time was never enough, and as a mortal, he was always overwhelmed with other commitments.

Having witnessed the deep-rooted corruption within the Chaodu system, Luo Ning found it difficult to fully entrust core tasks to unfamiliar subordinates, and most of the time he had to do it himself.

Fortunately, during the reform period, he found a group of people who could help him share some of the burden.

When Ronin entered the military camp, the first person to greet him was the highest commander of the defense forces: Garland Darius.

He was the first senior officer to rush out and support the Governor's Office when Ronin was purging the corrupt Guard. His loyalty to the Empire and his personal combat skills were almost at the top level among the Guard soldiers. At the same time, he was also very charismatic and had a very high reputation in the Guard.

It was precisely because Luo Ning had such a reliable helper when he first launched the coup that he was able to so smoothly eliminate the seriously corrupt high-ranking officers within the defense force, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent reforms in the Nest City.

But since killing Baron Harker, Ronin has not set foot in the defense camp for a long time.

Looking at Garan in front of him, only one thought flashed through Luo Ning's mind before he saw the green halo above Garan's head that represented absolute loyalty.

"Lord Ronin, it's been a long time since you've been here." Garan's face was beaming with a hearty smile, a stark contrast to when Ronin first met him.

Luo Ning smiled. "You've changed a lot too. You're no longer the infantry commander who always looked so worried."

"Sir, please laugh at me." Galan's smile became a little shy. "Back then, the officials above were all greedy and lustful. They not only exploited the people but also the brothers in the army. Anyone would be frowning in that situation. But things are completely different now."

The two walked into the military camp while talking.

Before he had gone far, he heard the deafening roar of the veterans. Intrigued, Luo Ning followed the sound.

On the central parade ground of the military camp, all the officers, regardless of age, stood ramrod straight. Even when Luo Ning, the governor's assistant, was present, they did not make any unnecessary movements. Their discipline was completely different from the relaxed demeanor he had when they first met.

The veterans that Luo Ning had invited ran towards him the moment they saw him and gave him a perfectly standard and powerful military salute.

"Welcome, veteran Felwood, Lord Ronning!"

The person who made the report was an instructor personally selected by Ronin, who was in charge of directing the training program for all the veterans. This person was a retired member of the Star Guardian Army who lost both legs in the war and can now only move around using prosthetics.

His agility and strength were not what they used to be, so he was discharged from the Star Guardian Army.

The moment Luo Ning saw him, he saw the blood in his eyes, even though these veterans had all been on the battlefield.

But only Felwood, with his gloomy face, still exuded endless murderous intent, as if even in his downfall, he was ready to tear apart any enemy in front of him at any moment.

The moment Luo Ning saw him, he took a liking to this man who had been abandoned after losing his legs and was now somewhat dejected.

He directly appointed Felwood as the head coach of this group of veterans.

But now, he is completely different from the dejected man he was when he first arrived on this planet. He looks radiant, and even his two prosthetic legs seem to have regained their vitality.

And Luo Ning's choice was obviously correct. Although the defense officers on the parade ground were treated almost inhumanly, there was not a trace of resentment or disdain in their eyes.

Luo Ning nodded slightly. "At ease. You've been training these officers for a while now. How are they feeling?"

Felwood, head held high, shouted in response once again, "Reporting, sir! There are 237 trainees in this training camp. Although their quality is a bit lacking, not a single one of them is a coward."

"You're really impressive to have these young officers obey your training," Ronin said, making no attempt to hide his admiration.

Garland, standing beside him, laughed. "My lord, do you know what earth-shattering things Lord Felwood did after arriving at the camp?"

Luo Ning turned his head away. Although he was very interested, he really didn't know, so he could only shake his head.

"In front of everyone, Lord Felwood removed his prosthetic leg, sat in his wheelchair, and asked the officers to attack him. And guess what happened?" Garland said, unable to stop laughing. "These young and strong lads all suffered. Whether it was one-on-one or one-on-two, these lads couldn't gain any advantage over Lord Felwood at all."

"From then on, the lads admired him from the bottom of their hearts and naturally obeyed the training willingly."

As Ronin listened, he looked at Felwood with an incredulous expression.

He had always known that the warriors of the Star Guard were stronger than the infantry of the Planetary Defense Force, but he never expected them to be this much stronger.

Looking at the officers on the parade ground, their eyes resolute and their posture upright, he felt completely relieved.

With this transformed core team, and the support of veterans who have infiltrated the grassroots, he has the most solid military guarantee for the subsequent wasteland exploration, border clearing, and even in-depth exploration of unknown ruins.
