The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 1300 - 1300 Dark Dragon Regiment

Chapter 1300 - 1300 Dark Dragon Regiment

1300 Dark Dragon Regiment
Seeing Lucas looking at him calmly with some encouragement in his eyes, Jonah gradually calmed down his nervousness and became more confident in what he was going to say.
“Mr. Gray, I think that in today’s DC, we follow the principle of supremacy of strength. So the more financially powerful a family, the more combat experts they have. The stronger the family, the more money they use to recruit and train experts. Similarly, strong families with more powerful experts will be able to grasp more resources and opportunities to boost their development and growth. This is a complementary outcome.
“Take the eight top families of DC as an example. The reason they’ve managed to stand strong at the summit of the US for years is that they recruit experts, so ordinary people can’t rival them. It’s even more so for the nine royal family branches above the eight top families.
“Moreover, the 210 experts that the Williams and the Holmes left behind are not ordinary experts but top experts that the two families have painstakingly nurtured and trained for years. They’re a force not to be underestimated.
Jonah paused for a moment before continuing, “And the families here, the Parkers, the Hales, the Coles, and my family, the Fullers, have pledged allegiance to you, Mr. Gray, and obey your orders. So, in essence, our four families are actually a whole with you as the core.
“None of our families alone can compare to any of the eight top families, but if the four of us join forces, the power of our experts won’t be inferior to any of the eight top families. This is the power of unity and teamwork.
“So, I think we should transfer some people from our four families and form a powerful regiment of guards to protect us and our families.
“We don’t need to have a large number of people in this regiment, but they must be the most elite experts of our families. The regiment will be our sharpest swords.
“In addition to being responsible for protecting our families, they are also responsible for monitoring our families, lest anyone commits crimes, gets up to shady business, or betrays us and so on. The regiment will act as both guards and an enforcement team.
“Of course, the leader of the regiment will take direct orders from you, Mr. Gray. What does everyone think?”
The few people present looked surprised.
Originally, they were nonchalant when hearing what Jonah said, thinking that Jonah was just going to make a busywork suggestion.
But after they heard his idea of setting up a guard regiment to carry out protection and supervision and that the regiment would obey Lucas’s orders, their eyes immediately lit up.
Indeed, a regiment established by combining the elites of their four families would be much stronger than one formed by any individual family.
Moreover, if they also served as supervision and enforcement, they wouldn’t have to worry about any member of the four families secretly getting up to any tricks behind the others’ backs or betraying Lucas and causing him any losses.

This was indeed a great and feasible idea!
When Jonah saw their expressions, he could roughly guess what their thoughts were, but he didn’t say much or look complacent. Instead, he bowed and said to Lucas, “Of course, this is only an idea of mine. As for whether we execute it or not, it’s entirely up to you, Mr. Gray!”
Lucas looked deeply at Jonah with a trace of appreciation in his eyes.
Sure enough, Damon’s suggestion for him to keep Jonah around was indeed good.
Although Lucas didn’t know Jonah well, he could tell from his suggestion that he was indeed a very smart and thoughtful person.
The establishment of a guard regiment wouldn’t only unite the combat forces of the four families, but it could also serve as a means to monitor them. There were plenty of benefits.
At the same time, it allowed Jonah, who had just joined the group, to gain the approval and appreciation of the others and lower their suspicions that he might betray them.
It was indeed killing multiple birds with one stone.
Lucas didn’t agree immediately but asked, “What does everyone think of Jonah’s idea?”
Since Lucas said that he wanted them to brainstorm, he also wanted to hear everyone’s opinions.
Edmund was the first to agree. “Lucas, I think Jonah’s suggestion is great! I remember reading a story about teamwork when I was young. When tied in a bundle, sticks are harder to break than they are alone. So I agree with Jonah’s suggestion to set up a guard regiment!”
Bruce said, “Just like Edmund, I also think that establishing a guard regiment is extremely beneficial to us. We can give it a try!”
Damon nodded in agreement, “I think it’s a great idea too.”
Seeing everyone agree, Lucas smiled and said, “Okay, since we all agree, it’s settled then.
“After you return tonight, you will each choose some elites from your families. I’ll select someone suitable to be the leader of the regiment. Apart from carrying out missions, the leader will also teach and train them. This will help our regiment become a formidable force that no one dares to underestimate.”
After hearing Lucas’s decision, Jonah finally felt relieved and overjoyed.
This was the first suggestion he made after joining Lucas’s team, and Lucas adopted it right away. This likely meant that he was indeed useful to Lucas and that Lucas had started to trust him.
“Mr. Gray, what should the name of the regiment be, and who will be the leader?” Jonah asked excitedly.
After thinking about it for a moment, Lucas said, “The name of the guard regiment will be the Dark Dragon Regiment. As for the leader, you will find out soon.”
Lucas already had a candidate in mind, but it wouldn’t be convenient to reveal it now before he communicated with this person.
“The matter regarding the Dark Dragon Regiment is settled then. As for the people left behind by the Williams and the Holmes, they can’t join the Dark Dragon Regiment. For those of you who will be sendingpeople to the Dark Dragon Regiment, your forces will decrease quite a bit, right? Then, you can distribute these 200 people accordingly among yourselves. You may use them how you want, and there’s no need to be polite with them.”
After making a simple distribution plan, Lucas stood up and said, “If there is nothing else, today’s meeting will end here.”
“Yes, everything will be done according to your instructions, Lucas!” the few of them said one after another.
Since there was nothing else, Lucas didn’t stay here any longer and returned home.
It was now late, and he would have to wait for tomorrow to see how the seven families would act.
