The treaty proposed by the White Eagle Country, as everyone can see, is aimed at Ye Fan and the Dawn Army.

The intention is clear: all nuclear weapons are not to be used. Once nuclear weapons are banned, presumably, the next step is for all countries in the world to unite and declare war on the Dawn Army.

Without the threat of nuclear weapons, without the risk of mutual destruction, the Dawn Army is no longer so formidable.

After the White Eagle Country made its proposal, it immediately received a worldwide response.

Especially for countries without nuclear weapons, such a treaty was practically born to protect them.

Even Rakshasa Country, which has always been at odds with the White Eagle Country, was the first to respond.

As one of the three countries currently possessing nuclear weapons, they surprisingly assumed a posture of peace-loving and were the first to respond, with their emperor being the first to sign the treaty.

Then, one after another, countries around the world followed suit, expressing their willingness to abide by the treaty.

No matter whether they were large countries or small countries, at this moment they were extremely united, as if whoever does not sign the treaty is the world's sinner.

The signing process was simple, just a television speech by the leader, expressing agreement to abide by the treaty, willing to sign it is enough.

Three days later, except for Ye Fan, all the world's leaders had signed.

Under the urging of the entire world, Ye Fan also made a statement that night, expressing willingness to sign the treaty.

Once he agreed, the entire world celebrated.

Because everyone knew who this treaty was targeting, once Ye Fan agreed, they had no further worries.

After all the countries agreed, the White Eagle Country then proposed to hold a world summit.

This summit invited nearly all the world's leaders except Ye Fan.

This intention was even clearer; they might be forming an alliance against the Dawn Army.

Without the nuclear threat, switching to conventional warfare, the Dawn Army was no longer fearsome.

Ye Fan was well aware of these matters.

But he didn't care; from the moment he threw the nuclear missile, he knew this was bound to happen.

And at this time, he was already prepared to stand against the world.

.......

Three days after the Han City base was leveled by bombing, Ye Fan's Radiation Engineer troops had entered the ruins of Han City.

Almost everything above ground had been destroyed, but Ye Fan knew there was one place that would be intact: Han City's underground vault.

After all, this was a developed country, with considerable reserves of Gold within, most of which were concentrated in Han City.

This was a massive fortune that Ye Fan had to acquire.

At this moment, within thousands of square kilometers around Han City base, nuclear radiation filled the air, making it impossible for ordinary people to enter.

But it's no problem for Radiation Engineers; these soldiers, wearing special protective suits, were indifferent to the ubiquitous nuclear radiation, even absorbing energy from it throughout their journey.

Equipped with detectors, they took two days to finally pinpoint several locations of underground vaults amidst the ruins of Han City base.

Once the Radiation Engineers locked onto the vaults, they immediately began work, clearing the ruins.

About two days later, they had opened the doors to several underground vaults.

The Dawn Army's helicopters directly landed here, and the Engineers began hauling Gold and other treasures.

Helicopters incessantly ferried Gold to Ye Fan.

After two days of continuous receiving, Ye Fan was once again immensely wealthy.

It was indeed a developed country's underground vault, where Ye Fan directly acquired twelve billion in funds.

Adding to his existing funds, Ye Fan had accumulated over fourteen billion.

With money in hand, Ye Fan sighed in relief.

This operation had finally yielded rich rewards.

This was why he risked throwing the nuclear bomb: it allowed for rapid acquisition of funds. With funds, the Dawn Army feared no one.

With money, Ye Fan did not stop his construction efforts.

Over the past few days, he had established three more Iron Curtains, and a radio telescope.

The construction of Iron Curtains was because he found that the current Iron Curtains covered too small an area, failing to encompass large warships.

And with four Iron Curtains constructed, even super nuclear-powered carriers could be fully covered; if applied to land forces, he could even forge an invincible armored corps.

An Iron Curtain covers an area for an hour, and Ye Fan even considered building 24 Iron Curtains to allow a force to be infinitely covered, which would make them truly invincible.

But constructing 24 Iron Curtains takes too much time and money; he could only build them step by step.

After completing the Iron Curtains, he then built the radio telescope.

This telescope was a colossal round shape with a diameter of over a hundred meters, looking like a giant lid from the outside.

However, this thing's monitoring range was exceptionally wide; it could observe the Moon, Mars, and even the edges of the solar system.

Although Ye Fan did not know what the immediate use of building this thing was, since the system provided it, there must be a reason, so Ye Fan still constructed it.

Now, he began the next Super Weapon construction.

The Weather Control Device.

The Weather Control Device is a Black Technology product of Red Alert, capable of unleashing a fierce lightning storm.

Its power is no less than that of a nuclear bomb, but without the side effects of nuclear radiation.

Ye Fan decisively chose to build this device and constructed four of them at once.

Didn't world nations declare a ban on nuclear weapons? Then Ye Fan would build lightning storms for them.

This is a weather phenomenon, and it cannot be classified as a nuclear weapon. Ye Fan even anticipates what expressions nations will have when they unite against him, only to be struck by lightning storms.

The construction cost four hundred million, and then Ye Fan spent another hundred million to simultaneously build a Research Institute for Aerospace Weapons.

Once these two buildings are completed, and a Super-Space-Time Transmission Device is constructed, his military-grade buildings will be fully built, allowing him to upgrade his rank to Commander.

While funds were available, Ye Fan conducted another round of troop replenishments.

First, Ye Fan supplemented his Land Air Force Group to form a complete combat brigade.

The five-regiment airborne forces compensated for the current weakness in long-range airdrop capabilities.

Ye Fan then spent one hundred and fifty million to replenish the fourth carrier battle group.

With these two rounds of troop reinforcements, the Dawn Army's numbers have reached eight hundred sixty thousand.

Ye Fan spent nearly another hundred million, further supplementing with a field division.

The division included old forces, with his direct regiment and the "Black-Pot Regiment" becoming the backbone.

The rest were all new recruits, and Ye Fan named this division as the Direct Division, appointing the former "Black-Pot Regiment" leader, John, as the Division Commander.

With five field divisions engaged in external combat, Ye Fan needed a division for direct command.

Ye Fan then expanded the Guard Corps to a brigade of twenty thousand.

Brigade Commander remained Zhuge Yunxue, with many veterans promoted to officers.

After these expansion efforts, the numbers of the Dawn Army increased again, reaching nine hundred eighty thousand.

The gap to full strength was less than twenty thousand.

After some minor reinforcements, Ye Fan's fourteen billion was reduced to five billion.

With the Super-Space-Time Transmission Device still unbuilt, Ye Fan held off further spending.

Currently, world nations are on their way to the White Eagle Country for a conference.

Uniting globally is not so quick; Ye Fan estimates that forming an Alliance Army within a month would be fast for them.

Ye Fan also needs to seize the time to thoroughly clean up the Lingnan Base City and achieve national unification within this month.

Not only unification, but he also aims to gather as much funding as possible in this period to prepare for upgrading to Commander.

During the Commander upgrade, he doesn't want to be impoverished like during the Major General upgrade.

Once upgraded, his strength must soar to engage in war with the world.

In this period, he also reorganized Su Qiao's troops.

Su Qiao's forces and the captured prisoners in this period numbered over two million.

Ye Fan had his team reorganize and eliminate, directly dismissing over one million, allowing them to return to civilian life, engage in production labor, and serve as reserves.

The remaining one million elite formed ten field divisions by Ye Fan.

Ye Fan armed these ten field divisions with his long-accumulated large quantities of weaponry, stationing them at the western and northern borders.

Although these troops are not as formidable and reliable as the Dawn Army, they are adequate, with all senior officers drawn from the Dawn Army.

These are considered second-line forces, entirely ground forces, sufficient for some auxiliary roles.

Apart from these two matters, there's the issuance of the Light Yuan.

After prolonged preparation, especially with the integration of all Su Qiao's territories, the issuance of the Light Yuan finally began.

On New Year's Day of the post-apocalyptic second year, the Dawn Army initiated the first nationwide Light Yuan issuance within the territory.

The issuance of one trillion Light Yuan not only stabilized the currency market but also facilitated a substantial return of civilian Gold reserves.

An astounding capital flow of twenty-two billion returned to Ye Fan's hands—this was the biggest fleece since acquiring the system.

With this influx of funds, Ye Fan's confidence was unprecedentedly strong.

With twenty-eight billion in hand, Ye Fan hardly sees any rivals remaining worldwide.

On New Year's Day, the Dawn Army's expeditionary battles also yielded results.

Liu Jingyan's forces, under the offensive of the Dawn Army's second and third field divisions, were finally entirely defeated.

Abandoning the territories of several provinces in the Lingnan Region, Liu Jingyan led remnant forces to retreat to South Island.

The pursuing Dawn Army, however, was blocked by Alliance Armies from small Southern Region countries, letting Liu Jingyan escape temporarily.

The Dawn Army's third field division entered the Highlands Province territory, cooperated with a second-line field division, jointly gained control over Highlands Province, and repelled an invading force from Curry Country attempting entry.

Then both sides began a standoff in the southern Highlands Province, awaiting higher orders.

Thus, nationwide in Qin Han, except for South Island and some small islands, all have been reclaimed by the Dawn Army.

Meanwhile, the White Eagle Country's conference neared its conclusion.
