On My First Day at Work, Call Me Your Intelligence Chief

Chen Lang had wanted to find a better job in advance, but who could have guessed he'd transmigrate to another world and become a military commander!

Put nicely, he was responsible for national security. Put bluntly, he was a nanny who had to handle every last detail, from food and drink to even the country's economic development.

"I'm no good at combat, but I'm great at tightening screws." Chen Lang could stretch every penny in half. He raised soldiers' pay, pushed through military reforms, and worked to excavate and preserve the empire's ancient technologies.

And somehow, he still managed to skim a little off the top while keeping everyone, from the highest ranks to the lowest, perfectly satisfied.

On the surface, he was a master of budget allocation. In reality, he was an RTS gaming king, a born construction powerhouse, and an expert on the empire's archaeological team...

Overnight, the empire embarked on the road to modernization.

If you asked him for the secret, it was: "Turn plastic into iron, glue into welds. You bring the blueprints, I'll bring the machine tools. Grow big and strong, then make a glorious comeback." And, "We may not have Lynxes, but we've got plenty of Shandong cats."

It's not that military equipment is unaffordable. It's that civilian products offer better value for money.
