In the apocalypse, I hoarded goods and handed over my storage space to the government.

The virtual projections representing foreign awakened individuals flickered and then went out one by one.

Su Ran leaned back in the main chair, picked up the now-cold black coffee, and drank it all in one gulp.

Several small windows were lit up at the edge of the main holographic projection screen.

The core members of the major war zones of the Great Xia Dynasty listened online the entire time.

"Chief of Staff Zhou, your think tank's analysis isn't very accurate."

On the other side of the Siberian defense line, Ye Xiao grinned and laughed through the screen.

"Before the meeting, you were all very confident that if this mixed-unit plan were released, the foreign camps would definitely give it their full support."

As a result, Richard and his gang's faces were as black as compressed protein bars.

On the main screen, Longjiang and Jiang Zunyong also laughed.

"As expected."

Chen Kewang, who attended the entire meeting at the Taihang Mountain base, stepped in to smooth things over.

"If you're threatening someone's livelihood, do you think they'll treat you well?"

In the conference room, Zhou Rui stood in front of the holographic sand table, looking slightly embarrassed.

He opened the tablet in his hand and brought up a set of data for comparison.

"Captain Ye is right. This was a mistake by the think tank."

He did not shirk responsibility; his tone was serious.

"During the meeting, we conducted an internal debriefing."

Tell me about it.

Su Ran put down her empty coffee cup and looked at Zhou Rui.

Zhou Rui projected a pyramid-shaped structural diagram into the air.

"We are used to inferring the situation from macro data."

Overall, the distribution of weapons and the opening of the points system can indeed greatly improve the survival rate of all mankind.

Zhou Rui pointed to the very bottom of the pyramid.

"Ordinary Awakened Ones, foreign survivors at the bottom, and bounty hunters, have no doubt about their support for this policy."

They dream of obtaining the Great Xia's crystal energy weapons.

He traced his finger and touched the tip of the pyramid.

"But we overlooked the solidified class structure that had already formed within the Awakened community in the wasteland environment."

Zhou Rui's tone turned serious.

"Richard, Alexander, and others stood at the top of the pyramid of the foreign camp."

They possessed peak third-tier strength and used force to monopolize the camp's discourse power and resource allocation rights.

"Top-tier Awakened Ones don't need ordinary people's assistance in combat. Letting ordinary people participate in the hunt with heavy firepower only takes away their original crystal cores and points, without any real benefit."

He lowered his head and closed the tablet.

"This is my inadequate work. I only conducted a tactical feasibility analysis, but failed to analyze the political and conflict-of-interest scenarios..."

I don't want to hear any blame assigned. This isn't a meeting for self-criticism.

Su Ran looked sharply at Zhou Rui and said, "Get straight to the conclusion."

Zhou Rui straightened up and spoke faster.

"The conclusion is that although the top foreign awakened individuals accepted the mixed-unit plan due to the military intimidation of the Great Xia, they resisted it in their hearts."

In the subsequent implementation process, there is a high possibility of situations where there is outward compliance but inward resistance, deduction of points from ordinary people, or even covert suppression of emerging civilian teams.

"They dare not openly oppose the Great Xia, but they will carry out bloody reshuffling within the camps to maintain their class rule."

After hearing the conclusion, there was a few seconds of silence on the communication channel.

Ye Xiao was eating grilled meat when he took a bite and mumbled something indistinctly.

"If anyone dares to make any trouble, I'll go straight there and raze their camp to the ground."

"Killing people won't solve the systemic problem."

Su Ran's gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Zhou Rui.

"Record it," Su Ran ordered.

Zhou Rui immediately picked up the tablet.

"First, immediately allocate manpower after the meeting."

Please compile and archive all information on foreign awakening groups currently active overseas and submit it to me within three days.

I need detailed information about their camp's troop numbers, weaponry, supplies, and internal factional divisions.

"Second, we need to reshuffle the staff."

Nowadays, think tanks are full of people who do data analysis and military simulations.

You understand warfare, but you don't understand human nature.

Su Ran tapped her fingers on the table, making a crisp tapping sound.

"Go to the Academy of Sciences to recruit people. Find sociologists, psychology experts, and senior experts in religious studies and anthropology."

Pack them all into your staff.
