Seizing Absolute Power

Nearby, local natives were busy examining the lion carcass that Zhang Yang had beaten to death.

A massive body.

The group of people busily turned it over, and they were all stunned.

The incredibly tough fur was now like rotten leather, almost torn apart.

The thick, sturdy lion's spine was smashed and broken section by section.

And those internal organs, like rotten mud.

What boundless power this is!

They bent over and carefully began to peel the entire lion skin off with the sharp tools they carried.

It is said that a lion robe, specially made for Zhang Yang as a warrior of all races, was to be made for him.

A lion's robe made from spoils of war.

"What, you want a tattoo too?" Zhang Yang frowned as he listened to Chief Ubara's explanation.

According to him, each warrior of the Hundred Tribes must have a unique black mamba serpent tattoo on their back as a symbol of their warrior status.

This thing...

Zhang Yang was unwilling.

Our bodies and hair are gifts from our parents, and besides, he's never been interested in tattoos.

Even though the meaning of this tattoo is fundamentally different from the tattoos of those young, rebellious types, it is the supreme symbol of invincible courage within the tribe.

"Chief Ubara, forget about the tattoo." Zhang Yang shook his head.

"Then please accept this unique token from the warriors of the hundred races." Ubara didn't dare utter a single word of refusal, but simply knelt on the ground and continued.

The token was presented on a tray.

It is a string of unidentified stone pendants.

The stone looked incredibly smooth and warm, its material unknown, and it had a strange symbol on it.

Is this the token of the warriors of the hundred races?

Bite!

The system has detected that the host has acquired a rare item, and a rare-level event can be activated.

Enable?

Zhang Yang held the token of the warriors of the hundred races, seemingly examining it, but in reality, his mind was immersed in the system.

Start!

He silently recited it without hesitation.

Rare event activated: Gango Power Broker

Event details: Please use all means to help Zabol ascend to the presidency of Gango and seize absolute power.

Event Reward: Intermediate Genetic Potion

Oh my god!

A simple sentence immediately made Zhang Yang's heart race.

Intermediate gene-enhancing agents!

According to the system's description, this gene serum is divided into intermediate and advanced levels, with an extremely low probability of occurrence.

As for the results, they are worlds apart.

He had already experienced the effects of the basic gene serum firsthand; it was enough to transform him completely, granting him immunity to all diseases, making him what he considered a non-human being.

This intermediate-level potion is no joke!

Although the system was only briefly introduced, its true capabilities, even with just a glimpse, were enough to make one's heart race.

A lifespan of two hundred years, an immaculate body, eternal youth, the perfect human being.

Yes, the intermediate-level gene serum can make him a truly perfect human being at the genetic level.

Perfect human beings, without flaws or imperfections.

As for the task details, you can tell just from the title.

Gango Power Broker.

He helped Zabol ascend to the presidency of the Gangge Republic and seize absolute power.

The mission seems to refer to Zabol, but isn't the hidden meaning actually directed at Zhang Yang? Zabol is just his puppet, someone he pushed to the forefront to attract attention. The real person in charge is Zhang Yang!

To put it bluntly, it's about making Zhang Yang the behind-the-scenes figure in the Gangge Republic, the super boss behind this resource-rich Africa nation with a population of over 100 million.

Is it difficult?

It's hard to say.

Let's take it one step at a time.

First, complete the task of clearing out all armed groups in the province, and then we can talk about those thousand loyal soldier templates.

With these thousand men, Zabol, or rather, his control over the Salito Provincial Government Army, would be able to take another step forward. Then, based on this seemingly impregnable Salito Province, he could proceed step by step, allowing Zabol to run for president.

Coming to his senses, Zhang Yang put the Hundred Races Warrior Necklace around his neck.

In an instant, cheers erupted all around.

The worship is real, and so is the fanaticism.

It's a pity, though. From beginning to end, Zhang Yang only wanted to use the title of Warrior of a Hundred Races to gain some privileges that would benefit him.

"Warriors of the Hundred Tribes can have their own fiefdoms, enjoy the support of their tribespeople, and hold a status far superior to that of the chieftains wherever they go," Chief Ubara recounted the privileges of the warriors of the Hundred Tribes.

"You can even have your own army, and we believe our tribal people are honored to be your followers."

Zhang Yang nodded, then suddenly said in a half-joking tone.

"So, is the matter of losing a tribal warrior over here?"

As soon as he uttered those words, a large number of people around him knelt down in fear and trembling, begging for his forgiveness, lest he incur his wrath.

Zhang Yang had now begun to grasp the weight of the words spoken by these warriors of the hundred races.

This person's prestige is even greater than that of a chieftain!

Later, Zhang Yang and Zabol left the tribal territory by car.

This trip was incredibly fruitful.

Zhang Yang only intended to resolve the impending conflict between the government and the tribes, but unexpectedly, he also earned the title of Warrior of a Hundred Tribes, embarking on an exciting mission.

Thus, setting aside the entire Gango, at least all tribal issues within the Salito Province have now vanished.

As for the mine?

Putting everything else aside, are there any mines in Salito Province that Zhang Yang can't get his hands on?

Officially, there is Zabol, and there are elite soldiers deeply embedded in the government army; among the people, there is the title of warriors of a hundred ethnic groups, and there is boundless admiration from many tribes.

With this double protection, Zhang Yang was able to run rampant in Salito Province.

··

Since the trip to the tribe.

The Zabol government forces were virtually invincible in Salito Province; all anti-government forces seemed to be paper tigers, utterly vulnerable.

On several occasions, they even received assistance from local indigenous tribes.

Everything can be done twice as efficiently with half the effort.

In just one week, the government forces swept through the entire Salito Province, leaving no trace of the anti-government forces. Zabol's prestige among the people was unparalleled, reaching a peak in his rule over Salito Province.

It could be said that at this moment, he is a high-ranking official in Salito Province, serving as the commander of the government forces.

But in essence, his control over everything, big and small, in the Salito Province has reached an unimaginable level.

Salito Province became his true private domain and his personal fiefdom.

And at this moment, the mission was naturally and logically completed.

Bite!

Congratulations, host! You have successfully helped Zabol eliminate all anti-government armed groups in Salito Province.

The Loyalty King of Soldiers template has been awarded, with a maximum of one thousand recipients.

"Finally got it." Zhang Yang smiled slightly, feeling extremely relieved.

The "Loyal Soldier King Template" has 1,000 slots, meaning you can have a full 1,000 slots with both the Soldier King buff and the Absolute Loyalty buff.

Of course, it's not without limitations.

He couldn't just apply the buff to whoever he wanted; that would be too unfair. According to the system instructions, he could only apply the buff to existing government soldiers.

The government forces in Salito Province currently number over 30,000.

Leaving aside the several thousand older soldiers, the number of elderly soldiers in the Gango government army is excessively high, with some even over sixty years old.

Of these, about ten to twenty thousand are in their prime.

It's obvious who will be chosen for these 1,000 elite soldier templates.

Naturally, the blessing was bestowed upon officers of all ranks, from top to bottom.

In fact, a thousand people is far too many slots; it's completely unnecessary to use these templates for all officers from top to bottom. So, we can allocate some to officers in key positions at all levels, and another portion to squad leaders at the grassroots level, distributing them in a point-like pattern throughout the government army.

These alone are enough to firmly control this army of tens of thousands.

The remaining few hundred people will be divided into several elite special forces units to serve as special combat units against the enemy.

Thus, the structure is complete.

In the future, if Zabol successfully assumes the presidency, these individuals can also be placed in the national government army, each holding important positions, spreading throughout the entire Gangge Republic Army system.

Zabol's presidency is naturally Taishan.

Even if we assume he steps down in the future, the person who takes over will inevitably be one of the thousand people who have risen through the ranks.

This is what they call the wheel of fortune turning, with presidents changing every year.

But no matter how many times they changed, they all had the surname Zhang.

Zhang Yang spent the entire afternoon working on this, and by evening, the templates for the thousand elite soldiers were finally completely assigned.

Inside the general's mansion, where no one else was present.

Zhang Yang was enjoying a relaxing bath when Zabol thoughtfully arranged for his several Black Pearl beauties to scrub Zhang Yang back.

Honestly, aside from scrubbing the back, Zhang Yang really didn't touch anything else.

Firstly, it's a matter of principle; secondly, he genuinely doesn't like that kind of thing.

Chris's type was already an exception for him.

As he emerged from the opulent bath, he could feel the black beauties, including Zabol, staring intently at his perfect physique.

This gave him a feeling that if he really got involved with them, he would be the one who would suffer.

"Alright, you can all leave now. I need to speak with the general." Zhang Yang waved his hand, dismissing the women who were staring at him expectantly, and went straight to get dressed.

In the private meeting room, Zhang Yang received a lion skin delivered by someone from the tribe.

A lion skin robe made from a male lion weighing nearly 700 pounds.

The dried lion's head meatballs are still there.

The lion's hideous wounds were meticulously stitched up by the tribe, leaving no trace of the damage.

The lion skin was quite large; wearing it made one look like a mountain king ruling over a region.

Zhang Yang casually threw it on and lost interest.

"Why don't you get someone to hang it up here?" Zhang Yang said casually. "I think your living room is quite nice."

"Yes, Mr. Zhang." Zabol nodded quickly in agreement.

After a short while, we got down to business.

Zabol began by introducing the current situation, including the situation within the province and the situation outside the province.

There's not much to say about the situation within the province. Since the elimination of all anti-government armed groups, Zabol's image and prestige in Salito Province have reached an unimaginable height.

The Salito Province has truly become his private domain.

"Mr. Zhang, any mine in the province, just ask for it, no matter which one, and I'll allocate it to you immediately!" Zabol assured him, patting his chest.

Now, Zhang Yang has even solved the tribal problem.

In other words, Zhang Yang can take whichever seat he wants simply by asking.

"No need," Zhang Yang waved his hand.

Even though Zabol is in charge of the entire Salito Province, there is still external pressure and international influence. Many international giants have invested in mining in Salito Province, including some major international mining companies.

Zabol can take things away as he pleases, and offend people as he pleases. Isn't he ruining his own reputation and deliberately making himself a target of public criticism?

Do we still need foreign investment? Do we still need to run for president?

Even if he becomes president one day, he absolutely cannot act like a tyrant. Which of Africa's most notorious tyrants ultimately met a peaceful end?

"I could also classify those unclaimed mines under your name," Zabol suggested.

Those international giants have very high aspirations; they all want those massive mines.

Some mines with mediocre output have a disproportionate return on investment, making them unprofitable, so no one has yet ventured into them, and they are currently all in the hands of the Salito Province. Although these mines are not particularly productive, they add up over time, and the extraction costs are low. Just a few mines combined can easily generate a net profit of over a billion dollars a year.

Others look down on it because it requires huge investment, maintenance costs, and various issues such as manpower, security, etc., but for Zhang Yang, these problems do not exist.

All you need to do is spend money to get the mining equipment sorted out.

With all the policies and requirements in place, everything is on the right track. As for manpower, there are plenty of tribes eager to come. Security is the least of our worries.

It's like a business with no capital, money falling from the sky.

"Keep it for me," Zhang Yang said, not refusing.

The main reason is that his Kaiwei Mining is currently expanding and recruiting employees, so he can't expand too much yet. He needs to fully utilize the two newly acquired copper mines first.

The situation outside the province is naturally the current focus.

Running for president.

The Gango president of the Republic of Congo is elderly, and during his term, the country has been plagued by constant civil war, chaos, poverty, and mounting debt. The country's education and healthcare systems are in a terrible state; to put it mildly, the people are living in misery. The country's abundant mineral resources have been used for exports to pay off debts, and a significant portion has been embezzled by a few individuals who have wantonly plundered the wealth that rightfully belongs to the nation.

Gango the current president and is unlikely to be re-elected.

However, the election for the next president is quite fierce, with several powerful forces vying for the position.

"I've already announced my candidacy, and the approval ratings are pretty good," Zabol said with a smile.

Needless to say, within the Salito Province, his prestige was unparalleled, and his popularity among the people was soaring. As for the other provinces, and even throughout the entire Gangge Republic, Zabol's fame had spread far and wide.

Putting aside everything else, the fact that he wiped out all anti-government armed forces in the province alone is enough to give him considerable influence.

"Well done." Zhang Yang nodded.

Zabol is on par with conventional campaign tactics, and even better if someone wants to use unconventional methods.

Looking at all the forces within Gango, none truly has a stronger control over the military than Zabol. In terms of military strength, the Salito Provincial Government Army, which includes thousands of elite soldiers, far surpasses other forces.
