The regime built on lies is as fragile as a castle in the air and can easily be toppled by another lie.
True loyalty comes only from two things, recognition of history or the pursuit of common interests.
Ren Zhong satisfied the second point for most of the military on Source Star.
He not only received the official endorsement from the frozen Elders, the Nine Major Groups, and the Source Star Business Association, but also his Ren Group has genuinely changed much of the social atmosphere on Source Star over the past twenty years.
In addition, for fifteen years, Ren Group has never let up on its media publicity campaign, making Ren Zhong's image deeply ingrained in people's hearts.
In comparison, the frozen Elders have nothing like this.
They fall short on both the first and second points.
They are overly cautious, fabricated history, and their management mechanism is too out of touch, almost never appearing before ordinary citizens and wastelanders.
