50 gold bar worth at least $25 million dollars. That amount could make any person spend the rest of their life and their family in luxury, but for the regent, that money is quite common. When he was the vice president, many politicians, and corporation willing to pay the same kind of money to get the regent favours.
The money should be enough to get the equipment and vehicles, there is one special item on the list that should be hard to acquire, but as the list said borrowed.. it should be fine.
What gives surprise to the Regent was the fact Alex could bring all these items out of nothing. The regent might be old, he has lived for more than 70 years, he had seen the world change. The first vehicles that came to Indonesia, the mobile phone, the internet. All of this did make him baffle, but nothing compares to this technology, the regent is not going to belief that the current world technology will be advanced enough for this, not for the next 50 years.
Alex can guess what the regent is thinking, he did show his storage rings for this purpose.
"Mr Regent, I assure you that humankind doesn't have the technology to create this. this is called a storage ring, this ring has a hidden space of 3 cubic meters to store item" Alex then pulled out an assault rifle."
The assistant next to the regent who has been shocked when Alex brings out the gold, suddenly startled and calling for the guards.. suddenly 10 plus guards rush inside the lounge armed.
"Stop," the regent said. "This person doesn't mean harm, everyone out, you are too"
"Yes regent"
There are currently only Alex and the regent in the room.
"you are very wise regent, there is something else I want to show you"
Alex pulls out another thing from the ring, its the golem. Alex then starts order the golem to move and punch a wall, surprisingly none of the guards walks into the room again, they were very disciplined. But Alex surprise cant be compared to the regent. The regent has seen many things in his life, fighter jets, nuclear submarine, but this golem gives him a different kind of wonder.
Alex put the golem back to the storage ring and continue, "The reason I show you this regent, is for you to believe that the world will soon change, I had a lucky encounter and found this thing in a ruin, the ruins have some message that told me about the coming disaster" This is the cover story that Alex already prepare, because he's not sure how to explain about the reincarnation, even Alex himself doesn't have the answer.
Alex continues and told the regent about the expected date, the diseases, the rise of the death and monsters that threatening the human race. Alex also told him about something that will arrive 3 months after in some part area in Sumatra. Alex doesn't tell the regent too much detail, he makes it seems like he read a prophecy. He only gives him bits and pieces, enough to give the regent some leverage when the end of days come. When the disaster struck there will be no way to contact the regent for the first few months, even probably the first few years, therefore to actually made a difference he needs to tell the regent, he needs to take a risk.

"It's probably very hard to accept, I understand, but as there was a saying 'its better to bring an umbrella and not being used, than not having it when it rains.' I suggest you to gathers all the forces and make some preparation, weapons, and foods. most important when the people start dying from the disease I suggest to burn it right away. that's is the message I can give to you regent, hope you will understand"

"surprisingly I will choose to listen to you"
The general doesn't want to admit it to Alex, but actually his whole body is currently burning with excitement, the last 15 years has been too boring for him, the reason he rejected the presidency offer was because its not exciting for him.. he belongs to the front line.. his blood is pumping for some action.. he actually wish what Alex said to be true, then it will become a more interesting world for him, he just hope he could live long enough for it.
the regent continued "just buying some supplies.. calling back all the troops to their bases and cancel their new year holiday leaves" even if what you belief turn to be false, it won't do much harm. I might not be able to instruct all of the militaries, but there are some that should still listen.
Alex bowed respectfully and said "thank you, regent, you won't regret it"
"For the equipment and vehicles I will arrange it, about the troop, you should follow me"
Alex follows the regent outside, a few moments later a car arrives and Alex enter the car together"
"where are we going regent?"
The regent smile to Alex "for the troops you can have a look at yourself"
