As usual, Victor set off from the military district commander's residence at half past seven on time and went to the military district headquarters to start the day's work.

Even though there was war, the habits that had been maintained for more than 50 years did not immediately change.

For Victor, the war was more of a discordant episode, forcing him to do something extra in addition to his normal life and work. In any case, he doesn't need to be busy and running around for life every day like ordinary people.

Under the influence of climate control equipment, the weather in Sunny City is always so windy and sunny.

Of course, at some point, a rain will fall as needed, so that those who live in the city know that in addition to the clear blue sky, there are dark clouds and thunder and lightning.

Sitting in the flying car, Victor overlooked the city below.

It is a flying car specially designed for military commanders, and it not only has a separate energy system, but also a complete detection and defense system. To put it bluntly, this is a flying armored car with luxurious interiors, but it just doesn't look as powerful as an armored car.

"General, this is something to deal with today."

Victor puts down the cup containing the drink, zooms in on the zoomed-out video communication screen, and then unfolds it to reveal a virtual three-dimensional image.

The report was a female secretary who was very beautiful.

Her name is Ellie, and she is Victor's fourth secretary after he became commander of the military district. Before becoming commander of the military district, Victor also had several secretaries. All secretaries have one requirement, they must be young, and they must be beautiful. Of course, being beautiful is not the main issue. Under the influence of the eugenics project, almost all of them had near-perfect appearances, at least by Victor's aesthetic standards, and none of the young women he came into contact with were not beautiful. The key is age, modifying genes can make a woman have a perfect face and figure, but no one can beat time, and no one can live forever, everyone will gradually age.

Secretarial is not a high-tech profession, it is just some very simple work that anyone can do.

"General, do you need to elaborate?"

"Let's get to the point." Victor's eyes narrowed. Although the average life expectancy of human beings has been extended to 140 years, and thanks to advanced medical technology, few people die from diseases, but some basic physiological functions of human beings have not changed as a result.

For Victor, who is in his seventies, he has long lost the normal functioning of a man. Although Victor can still raise children using the genes he has preserved in his youth, it is difficult for him to do something that only a man can do. Of course, this does not mean that he has no interest in women. In the case of material satisfaction, there are only three things that can interest men, power, fame and women. Victor already has power, and the military itself has a very good reputation.

"The newly formed 77th Battalion needs you to review it."

"It was the first thing I did today." Victor nodded, and asked the secretary to put this matter at the top of the day's agenda.

"All arrangements are in place, and in half an hour, you will be able to meet with the officers of the battalion."

"Very well, arrange for the orderly to take care of them."

Victor is not ambiguous about the officers, because the officers are the basic force that maintains Victor's dominance in the Legion.

Victor had to do more than just meet with the newly promoted officers, but also control them.

As the commander of the military region, Victor has a very unique superpower, of course, the other three deputy commanders also have such superpowers, but Victor is more prominent. That is, he was able to make his officers absolutely obey his orders through his thoughts.

To put it bluntly, this is a kind of spiritual power obtained through modulation.

In fact, this is why Victor had to meet with every regimental officer in person.

While discipline, faith, honor, and morality can maintain order in the military, this mental control can make officers absolutely loyal. Even in the most difficult times, there will be no betrayal by an officer, let alone a violation of the commander's authority.

Unless, of course, a more powerful being is encountered.

In peacetime, this is nothing.

Because there is no war and no ****, in the past fifty years or so, Victor has personally promoted less than 10,000 officers, and on average, there is not even one per day. But now that it was a time of war, the size of the regiment was expanding, and dozens, if not hundreds, of officers were being promoted every day, many of them new officers, and Victor had to spend a lot of time on it.

At the reminder of the secretary, Victor arranged several other things, including food production.

For Victor, in addition to expanding the size of his legion, the most important thing now is to increase food production.

In a sense, this is even the most important thing.

More than two hundred years ago, when Yanyang City was in the last big construction, the domestic **** had been suppressed, the situation was assessed, and the population tended to be stable. At that time, no one believed that the Doomsday Empire would suddenly collapse after more than two hundred years, and no one knew that a large number of refugees would pour into Burning Sun City. As a result, all of Sunny City's infrastructure is designed to provide for 25 million people. This includes food production capacity. Although it was possible to provide food rations for an additional five million people through strict controls, after the population exceeded 30 million, the food produced in Burning Sun City was not enough to distribute.

Now, the population of Sunny City has exceeded 30 million, and it is growing every day.

When the refugees came to Yanyang City, they all wanted to eat a full meal. If more food cannot be produced, people will soon go hungry, and then riots and unrest will follow.

What's worse is that the refugees can't be driven out of Yanyang City.

To put it bluntly, the most valuable resource is people. If Victor orders the expulsion of the refugees, it is equivalent to driving these people to other cities and strengthening the opponents.

Anyone can gain superpowers through concoction.

The only way to do this is to find a way to increase food production.

In addition to food, there are many resources related to survival, such as energy, clean drinking water, and living space for everyone.

These troubles gave Victor a headache.

In peacetime, it is the municipal officials who are responsible for handling the day-to-day affairs of the city. However, after the outbreak of war, in order to prevent possible unrest, Victor had the legion take over the city government, and removed the mayor and other officials, and he became a military and administrative governor.

Although many trivial matters have been handled by the people below, some key issues still need to be asked by Victor himself and give general advice. To put it bluntly, if he had not given the order, none of those staff officers of the military district headquarters would have made their own decisions.

During this half year, Victor's only feeling was exhaustion.

Coming to the military district command, Victor went directly to the commander's office. After a short rest, Victor went to the officer's reception room.

From this time on, for the next ten hours or so, Victor will be too busy to stop.

Comparatively speaking, it is the easiest thing to meet with those officers who have just been promoted. At least in the face of these soldiers, Victor didn't have much pressure. All he had to do was write a spiritual instruction in the other person's mind in a way that was imperceptible in the middle of the conversation. Normally, this directive does not work, and only in the event of a countervailing situation, that is, when the commander's order is violated, the directive is activated, and then the officer is forced to make a decision to obey the commander's order.

Of course, with these young soldiers, Victor didn't need to be intrigued.

When dealing with others, Victor had to think more holistically, and sometimes even used methods that he despised did. For example, when facing the willing citizens, that is, the ordinary people who have lived in the city for generations and regard it as their home, Victor has to convince them that the empire still exists, but war has broken out, and the war will soon subside.

In this case, even Victor himself did not believe it.

The empire is finished, the empire has been established in history, leaving behind only a mess, a power vacuum that has suddenly appeared, and a whole bunch of careerists. The war will never subside quickly, it will last for a long time, and it will even turn into a full-scale war between the major powers. In the history books, many similar periods are recorded. Over the past millennia, many similar situations have occurred on the United Continent.

Victor knew that hope was the foolish idea.

The problem is that he has to give hope to the civilian population, especially those who are the basis of the legion. If everyone no longer has hope for the future, then it will be impossible for Victor to continue to rule Burning Sun City, let alone pacify the northern region based on Burning Sun City.

For all the people of this era, "hope" is nothing more than a sugar-coated poison, and a chronic poison that is only perceived when the toxicity strikes.

It wasn't until six o'clock in the afternoon that Victor had a little free time.

It's just that there are still a lot of things that haven't been dealt with. Several managers in charge of food production have found a way to increase food production in the short term, but at the cost of significant wear and tear on production equipment, which will have an impact on future production. Victor had to meet them and figure things out.

While the secretary arranges dinner, Victor talks to his wife on the phone.

Although he couldn't go home, thinking that he would have a big banquet at home tomorrow, Victor had to send some people back to help him with his preparations.
