Some of the money earned in the Nawa region went toward maintaining the Nawa government. Wang Yue and Boss Xu split the surplus fifty-fifty.
With all that money, Wang Yue and Boss Xu could both keep their armies funded and continually replace their weapons, improving their men's combat capabilities.
However, perhaps because the defenses around the Nawa region were so strong, neither of them expanded their forces after coming into money. Still, their troops had all been equipped with new automatic rifles, and they even had dozens of armored vehicles.
Those armored vehicles greatly increased the Nawa region soldiers' deployment and response speeds.
Unlike Boss Xu, who turned his extra money into gold and stored it away, Wang Yue spent his outright.
Wang Yue felt the Nawa Armed Forces were at a disadvantage without air support. If they faced the NM Armed Forces, who had an air force, they would be in serious trouble. But building planes or buying them wasn't practical, so he decided to start with drones.
However, the Nawa region's industrial base was practically nonexistent. Wang Yue could only build a drone factory under the guise of making toys. The equipment and materials used to produce the drones weren't particularly sophisticated, so they didn't draw anyone's attention.
To keep up appearances, Wang Yue really did make some drones to sell. Unfortunately, they didn't sell very well, and the huge amount of money he had invested went down the drain.
Old Xu had a good laugh at Wang Yue's business, which he'd poured so much money into, doing so poorly. But Wang Yue acted as if he were furious and refused to give up until he hit a wall. He kept producing more and more drones.
Time flew by, and Zhen Zhen was about to graduate from college.
