Limitless The Strongest Revenant

Adding these vehicles would allow them to load, ride, and deploy quickly. It would not only conserve stamina, but greatly increase mobility. Of course, the problem would be that they would shift from endurance to fuel, creating a dependency on diesel.

But if we give the trucks to some of the people and allow them to use {Auto}, we can {Rewind} them so we always have fuel. Maintenance would also be perfect as long as we kept the {Auto} image combat ready.

It was a known problem that the equipment used by the military were beasts made for war. This meant that if they weren't allowed to fight, they were guaranteed to break down. This required entire companies of engineers to work around the clock to fix them.

"My lord, to mechanize your infantry, we have 100 AM General M1151 Enhanced Armament Carrier Humvees and 50 M1078 LMTVs. All vehicles are equipped with M2 Browning machine guns for mobile infantry support. The Humvees would seat 400, while the M1078 trucks can be used for personnel, supplies or loot ".Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Just the addition of over 150 M2 machine guns would be a hug deal, but the ability to quickly transport 400 Reapers with guns would be a game changer. In addition, the Ten Graves would be able to haul ass with the trucks.

Currently, the Ten Graves used carts and wheelbarrows to transport their plunder. Whether it was corpses or supplies, it was impossible to move them all with just the human body. It was inefficient.

But with these? It would speed up the processing of the loot. On top of that, they could bring equipment and supplies to keep up with the 2nd Amendment.'

It was amazing, but Vincent's gifts helped address the core problems I had with Hellsend. Armies were naturally dependent on massive supply lines. And while we didn't need a supply line because of {Rewind} and {Reload}. We still needed mobility.

Just one zone was pretty big. And I was now responsible for twenty-eight of them. Being able to move back and forth quickly was no problem for me, since I had {Portal}. But the rest of my forces didn't, and if I didn't give them Lilly's {Fate}, it would be impossible for them to keep up.

"Thank you, Vincent, I am once again impressed by your foresight. This would help us a lot with our plans. The only problem now is that I lack the people who know how to use them."

Even though the Humvees and trucks were just heavy-ass cars, they still had their own quirks. As I increased my reliance on hardware used by the military, I needed those who were knowledgeable to train my men.

"I will do all I can to help in that regard, my lord. The Deryck family is currently taking lessons from retired veterans and active military so they can pass the information on to Hellsend. Of course, we are using low-key means to do this. As a family accustomed to working for a Specter, we know how to cover our tracks."

Impressed by how meticulous Vincent was, I praised him curtly, "Well done. I look forward to when your men are ready to teach Hellsend."

"Of course, my lord."

With these vehicles my infantry will be able to keep up. We can also use the Humvees to transport the howitzers, allowing us to quickly move into an area. Unfortunately, we were still missing a few key components to our army.

For one thing, we didn't have an armored division. Alfonso showed how effective micro tanks would be in Hellsgate. If we could somehow get the M1 Abrams into the fight, we would be unstoppable.

With drones and reconnaissance teams scouting for the artillery. The only purpose of the infantry would be to hold the line with the armored divisions to allow the artillery to move. Once we had our main battle line in range of indirect fire, we would pound the living shit out of any enemy within range.

Once they were softened up, the armored divisions, accompanied by infantry, would move in to mop up the remnants. If there were still enemies, the process was repeated until there was nothing left.

While armored divisions were formidable, they needed infantry to guard them. Otherwise, a well-placed shot from a $500 RPG rocket would take out a $55,000 tank. Conversely, an infantry division that took years to train would be devastated by gun batteries if it advanced without armor.

In Hellsgate this would take a different approach, normal zombies couldn't stand up to guns. But that was only on the lower levels. When we encountered larger undead, monsters, or demons. We would need bigger weapons.

Probably sensing my thoughts, Vincent made an embarrassing cough as he continued.

"My lord, as someone familiar with military doctrine, I am well aware that we need tanks or heavy armor. Unfortunately, those are much more strictly regulated than the ones here. However, given enough time, I will see to it that we get our hands on some. For now, I would like to present you with my last gifts."

"There are more?" I asked suspiciously.

How much money did Vincent spend on this? The M777 howitzer was worth $3.7 million each. A 155mm round was worth $3,500. I knew these numbers because they were what other countries were paying to help Ukraine in their last war.

An armored, military-grade Humvee cost $220,000, and my gangster had 100 of them. The Oshkosh Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles were transparent in their contracts and each of these trucks was worth over $250,000.

'Exa, how much are the howitzers, Humvees, and trucks in dollars?'

[My lord, given the prices you know, it would be about $56,700,000. Considering that they were bought by illegal means, it would be even more].

Well, fuck, and that was on top of everything I ordered for them.

[My Lord, I wouldn't be guilty of the Deryck's extravagance because they had won 38 million souls or $760,000,000 from the Seeker War. They, as a long time Mafia family, know how to make the money work for them.]

'I guess I was lucky to get them as servants.'

[I would agree, my lord.]

Vincent then led us to a few more vehicles that I recognized immediately.

"These are the M1128 Mobile Gun System or the Stryker Dragoon variants. Although the Stryker family was used extensively, only 142 were equipped with the M68A2 105mm cannon. Three were written off in combat, but we managed to get them repaired."

"That's good. We can definitely use them as tanks," I commented in passing.

While the main gun was good, the Stryker Dragoon was subpar in my opinion. It's pathetic track record was proof of that. Confused about its identity as an IFV and a light tank, it did little for the money spent on it.

In contrast, the M2 Bradley was the best IFV, while the M1 Abrams was the best MBT. Initially unimpressed, my blood pressure shot up when I saw a familiar silhouette behind the three Stryker dragoons!

"HOLY FUCKING SHIT! IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS?" I bellowed with joy.

"Yes, my lord, though we only managed to get one under the radar. This is the latest iteration of the Bradley, the M2A4. Spaced laminate armor provides 14.5mm all-around protection. One 25mm M242 chain gun. 2 BGM-71 TOW anti-tank missiles. And finally, a 7.62mm coaxial M240C machine gun gives it incredible firepower."

"A MOTHERFUCKING BRADLEY!"

This machine, along with the M1 Abrams, were the powerhouses that allowed America to remain undefeated in armored combat. Although not a tank, the TOW missiles allowed a Bradley to fight and kill tanks, giving it more tank kills than even the mighty Abrams.

I couldn't stop myself from jumping on top of the Bradley like a kid at Christmas. Any American would give his left nut to have one. Needless to say, I was one of them.

"Fucking hell, Vincent! Fucking hell! This is mine now?" I raved with glee.
