As a company under the committee, a large corporation like TheM inherently had the authority to assemble a corporate fleet, so this legion commander position was essentially a backdoor Yulia opened for Li Pan, specifically for his Panlong Company.
Of course, Li Pan was well aware of this. With the limited funds he had, assembling a fleet was out of the question, lacking enough manpower to even fill a battleship formation. He could only use this legion privilege to make smuggling a bit more legitimate; in the future, he could transport Black Oil and openly bypass customs.
However, having connections at the top was quite convenient. Emilia's matter could be easily resolved, and he could even gain favor with her by getting some help out of prison, thereby forming the Panlong Family Office (PFO) team to assist him with financial, tax, and legal trivialities.
