Naruto: I, the villain template, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 190 They don't want 'peace,' so we'll help them achieve 'peace.'

"In other words, the roles of offense and defense have now reversed."

After Yun Chuan said those words, the people sitting around the conference table fell into a brief silence, and then a similar light appeared in each of their eyes.

Whether it was Kakuzu and Rakuyu, who had only recently joined, or Qiuyu and Meiyu, who had been looking forward to this day for a long time, or Nagato, Yahiko, and Shennong, who each had their own goals, all of them were stirred up by Yun Chuan's words.

Kakuzu's idea was that with the groundbreaking equipment and weapons developed by Dawn, he only needed one battle to make a name for himself, and countless merchants would come waving their money bills to give him money.

Leyou was thinking that he never expected to have the opportunity to avenge Yangyan Village against the great nation so soon; Shennong was thinking that he was finally about to take the next step in ruling the ninja world and establishing Takamagahara.

Nagato, Yahiko, Akisame, and Tsuyu—needless to say, their deep-seated hatred and unwavering faith fueled their fearless determination.

Yun Chuan looked at his men and saw that none of them were afraid of the might of a great nation or loyal to a noble family. They all claimed to be fighting for the rise of the Rain Kingdom, but in reality, none of them took it seriously.

Regardless of their stance or differing objectives, they all share similar enthusiasm and passion when it comes to confronting major powers.

If they were to choose between a powerful nation, a powerful daimyo, and Tsukimi Kumokawa, this group would undoubtedly choose him without hesitation; they are all born rebel leaders.

I am very pleased to see that the internal organization is unified and that everyone is working in unison!

"Ahem!"

Yun Chuan nodded in satisfaction, then coughed lightly and looked at Yakushi Nonou with a serious expression, saying, "Nonou, after the meeting I'll give you a note. Go to the Ministry of Finance and get the money from Kakuzu."

"I have only one request: before we officially go to war with the major powers, you must train the core personnel for my medical department!"

When Kakuzu heard that Yun Chuan was going to approve funds for the medical department, he didn't take it seriously at all.

As the Minister of Finance, he had already planned to approve the funds before attending the meeting.

In Kakuzu's view, it was at most tens of millions of taels, but for the current Dawn, tens of millions of taels could be taken out casually.

However, as soon as Yun Chuan uttered his next sentence, Kakuzu instantly lost his composure.

"Well, for the first payment, let's start with one hundred million taels."

Yun Chuan pulled out a pen, looked down and wrote on a note: "If that's not enough, go find Kakuzu again."

Upon hearing this, Kakuzu, who had been plotting how to exploit and reap the benefits of both large and small countries, immediately changed his expression.

"Wait a minute, one hundred million taels?" He stared wide-eyed at Yun Chuan, looking like he'd just had a piece of his flesh cut off. "Are you sure you're not mistaken? That's one hundred million taels! If it's not enough, she can ask for more? Can she really spend all that money?"

Before Yun Chuan could speak, Yakushi Nonou smiled and said, "As far as I know, Konoha is also training medical ninjas, wanting to equip each team with a medical ninja. So far, they have spent more than 200 million ryo."

"Although our medical technology is more accessible to the general public and does not require talent as a foundation like medical ninjas, 100 million ryo is the minimum cost to train physicians who possess both skills and psychological qualities and can provide timely and effective medical support on the battlefield."

A qualified battlefield medic must at least learn and master basic medical knowledge, basic first aid knowledge and skills, be able to quickly assess injuries and formulate treatment plans on the battlefield, and perform surgery in complex environments.

"One hundred million taels is just a drop in the bucket. As long as we train a core group and then have them train a group of students, it will be enough to reduce the legion's casualty rate by half."

Yun Chuan waved his hand, stamped the slip of paper, and handed it to Nonou. Without giving Kakuzu a chance to argue, he instructed, "We will cover part of the expenses for battlefield medics within the legion. Students who are interested in becoming medics will have to bear their own training costs."

"However, in order to encourage more medical personnel to participate in battlefield medical care, the administration has been trying to find ways to provide certain preferential policies or subsidies."

The black cat in Yun Chuan's arms arched its body, indicating that it had heard him.

"snort."

Although Kakuzu was a little annoyed by being gagged, he eventually sat there and remained silent.

He was just upset about the money, not that he couldn't figure out the cost.

Since they are wounded soldiers, they have all been on the battlefield. As long as they come back alive, they are no longer at the level of new recruits. Battlefield experience is no joke. With a little training and integration, and a change of equipment, they can become elite soldiers!

For example, the Oni Army members who went to the Land of Mountains with Yunchuan and faced the Takigakure forces and returned alive are the ones who know best how to kill enemies and protect themselves on the battlefield. Any one of them could easily take on several newbies.

If we can truly train a large number of medics to provide timely and effective medical care during wartime, reduce combat losses, and ensure the corps' combat effectiveness, then this money will definitely be well spent.

Saving an experienced veteran and training a new recruit who has seen combat require significantly less effort and money; the former obviously requires far less.

Moreover, even if the legion members die, they will still receive a large sum of compensation.

With this calculation, Kakuzu's sullen expression eased slightly.

"autumn rain."

After explaining the medical department's situation, Yun Chuan looked at Qiu Yu and smiled, "The agricultural research and development department has been doing well lately. I have nothing to say about that. Keep up the good work."

The Department of Agricultural Research and Development was formerly known as the "Agronomy Class," and it is arguably the fastest-growing department at present.

It can only be said that the principle of "food is the most important thing for people" applies in any world.

They had no desire to learn anything else, even things they couldn't get enough to eat, but when it came to learning farming, they were incredibly enthusiastic.

At first, Qiu Yu only taught a group of people how to build greenhouses, how to grow vegetables, and how to increase yields. Then, this group of people taught their students and relatives, and so on down the chain. Soon, agricultural classes were set up in various regions.

After all, for ordinary people, time is worthless. Being well-fed is the only thing that matters. Only when you are well-fed can you survive, and only when you are well-fed can you have the mind to learn other things.

"However, while ensuring our own food security and that everyone has enough to eat, you can try to research cash crops, grow a new variety of fruits and vegetables, and sell them to other neighboring countries."

Yun Chuan touched on Qiu Yu's thoughts and reminded her, "The fruit that the fruit farmer sent before was quite good; it should fetch a good price in other countries."

"There are more and more places to spend money now, and relying solely on shipping and fishing is clearly not enough. We need to broaden our ways of making money."

When it came to making money, Jiao nodded with satisfaction, pleased that this Lord Yun Chuan still knew the value of daily necessities.

"There's also the weapons research and development department and the biological research and development department." Yun Chuan continued, looking at the serious-looking Shen Nong and Le You, and instructed, "We've now reached a cooperative relationship with Yu Ya Cheng Yan, allowing him to sell obsolete weapons to people in other countries."

"How to sell, what to sell, you can discuss that with him yourselves, but I only have one request for you." Yun Chuan held up five fingers and listed them one by one, "Sell one generation, provide one generation for service, develop one generation, conduct preliminary research on one generation, and explore one generation!"

Upon hearing this novel idea, Leyou and Shennong were both taken aback for a moment, but they quickly understood what it meant. They subconsciously exchanged a glance and found that their eyes gradually became filled with realization and excitement, as if they had opened the door to a new world.

Selling a generation refers to equipment that has long been obsolete and is sold to other countries; serving a generation refers to equipment that is already mature and widely used; and developing a generation refers to the next generation of equipment or technology that is currently being designed, developed, or produced.

Together with the pre-research generation and the exploration generation, these five concepts constitute a complete R&D and management system. It can be said that they will always be ahead of other countries!

Even if obsolete weapons are sold to other countries, there is no need to worry about being overtaken, because they are three versions ahead, ensuring that they can always maintain a leading position in current and future technological and product development.

"Also, remember to 'remind' Miyajo En that guy."

Seeing the two excited people, Yun Chuan interrupted them in a deep voice: "Selling arms is, on the one hand, to make money from the war, but on the other hand, it is also to prepare for the future establishment of a united front of small countries."

"Therefore, the arms trade mainly targets small countries that have long suffered from oppression by major powers, frequent conflicts, and unstable situations. They want to improve their own strength and defense capabilities, but are powerless to change their fate due to insufficient resources. They have an urgent need for weapons that do not have high barriers to entry and can be used by ordinary people to kill ninjas!"

"As long as they have been invaded by a major power and have some grievances against it, it doesn't matter if we sell them to them at a low price or with various preferential conditions. They are our future allies. Moreover, small countries have loopholes such as poverty, corruption, and poor governance, making them more likely to accept our goodwill than those major powers..."

At this point, Yun Chuan suddenly stopped.

Changmen and Shennong narrowed their eyes, vaguely catching the second half of the sentence.

Selling to small countries is fine, selling to large countries is also fine, but the question is, to which side should we sell to?

A daimyo? A nobleman? A merchant? Or perhaps... an oppressed commoner?

If the daimyo of a small country is not "friendly" enough, is it possible to secretly support a new one?

If the nobles of powerful nations live too comfortably, shouldn't we give them some "trouble"?

Realizing this, Changmen and Shennong exchanged a glance, each with their own plans.

"Lord Yun Chuan, I have another question," the old man Le You said childishly, raising his hand with a grin, "How much research funding can you approve for us?"

"How much?" Yun Chuan narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "No limit! How much you can squeeze out of me and Kakuzu's pockets depends entirely on your abilities!"

Upon hearing the words "no upper limit," Leyou and Shennong's eyes instantly turned red.

"Wait! Hold on!" Kakuzu's eyes also reddened. He suddenly stood up, looked at Yun Chuan, pointed at Le You, and questioned, "It's one thing for the biological research department to have already achieved results, but what makes this old man's weapons research department dare to say there's 'no upper limit'?!"

Yun Chuan did not answer him, but smiled and looked at Le You.

"snort."

Le You crossed his arms and snorted coldly, laughing, "The biological research team spent several months but still couldn't break through the error of sniping from 1,000 meters to within 10 centimeters, while our weapons research department only took half a day to achieve this."

Seeing his proud and self-satisfied appearance, Kakuzu and the others present were all impressed but confused, and turned their attention to Shennong, who was the head of the biological research and development department.

"..."

Shennong's eye twitched, and he said dejectedly, "This isn't our fault. Those lunatics in the weapons R&D department didn't put any effort into developing the accuracy of sniper ninja tools; instead, they directly researched a new type of explosive bullet!"

"That damn thing, even though it's only one centimeter in diameter, can blow everything within a ten-meter radius of the bullet's center of impact, so there's no need to worry about a few centimeters of error!"

Upon hearing this, and seeing Leyou's shameless yet proud attitude, everyone fell silent for a moment.

Is he really a genius?

"What do you know?" Le You sneered. "Only when military supplies are insufficient do we need to be meticulous. When supplies are plentiful, carpet bombing is perfectly acceptable!"

Having always been hampered by funding shortages in Kagerou Village and used to a life of hardship, now that they've arrived in the Land of Rain and finally have ample funds, they're naturally ready to let loose and enjoy themselves!

When poor, strike with precision; when rich, unleash overwhelming firepower!

Boom!dong dong!

Seeing that Leyou's unique way of thinking had left everyone speechless, Yun Chuan tapped the table with a finger to interrupt Leyou's next words.

Seeing everyone's gaze turn to him again, he looked at Mei Yu, whose temples were already gray: "Mei Yu, your intelligence department will play an increasingly important role in the future. I also have some intelligence personnel who only contact me on a one-to-one basis. I'll hand them over to you later."

"Next, you must continue to improve your intelligence network, prioritizing the collection of information on the troop deployments and tactical intentions of Iwagakure and Sunagakure, and ensuring the accuracy and timeliness of the information."

Intelligence and reconnaissance are crucial aspects of warfare, playing a vital role in understanding enemy movements and formulating operational plans.

"Jiyun, the administration department must strengthen logistical support, supply, and overall coordination to ensure that the needs of all departments can be met and responded to in the future."

"Nagato, I need you to treat all five great ninja villages and Amegakure as hypothetical enemies. Based on the terrain and the distribution of enemy forces, rationally divide the combat zones to ensure that each zone has sufficient troop support, and prioritize the security of key areas and strategic locations."

Upon hearing that Amegakure would be considered a hypothetical enemy, everyone present except Yahiko remained calm, except for a moment of surprise.

As he gave out the orders one by one, Yun Chuan suddenly paused.

His gaze swept across the faces of the people before him, and he said in a deep voice, "Our current strategic objective is primarily to, while protecting our own territory, upholding our dignity and security, at least thoroughly and unequivocally defeat a major power, forcing them to acknowledge their 'defeat'!"

"Let's strive to be the sole victor of the Second Shinobi World War, to make our name known far and wide, and to let everyone in the shinobi world know that the Land of Rain is not just about Hanzo! The Land of Rain is not just about Amegakure! There's also us! There's also a 'collective'!"

"Let them understand that our purpose is to promote peace and stability among the nations of the ninja world through war, achieving long-term prosperity and development. If they don't want 'peace,' we'll help them achieve 'peace'!"

"Do you understand what I'm saying?"
