Ling Lan's words made Yang Mingzhi go into deep thought. After a few seconds, he smiled bitterly. "Regiment commander, you're the one who thinks things through. I think too simply."
"It's not that you think too simply. It's just that you don't want to think about it," Ling Lan replied calmly.
Yang Mingzhi was stunned for a moment. After a few seconds, he laughed. "Regiment commander, don't be so direct. You should at least leave me some cover up."
"There's not much time left. When you can think it through, I'll be able to rest assured about the Lingtian Mecha Clan," Ling Lan said meaningfully.
Yang Mingzhi sighed. "In the end, I still couldn't fool you."
"You didn't really want to fool me. If not, you wouldn't have revealed so many flaws, "Ling Lan said calmly.
"Isn't it because you didn't care about the clan and I was careless?" Yang Mingzhi asked with a smile.
"There's no point in saying this. You know that Li Lanfeng has been keeping a close eye on you all." Ling Lan pouted. She hated talking to sly old foxes like him the most. They were not straightforward at all. She wanted to tell you something but they still had to play this game.
"I thought that you wouldn't trust Big Leader Li so much." Yang Mingzhi smiled.
"Oh? Why? "Ling Lan raised her eyebrows. She was curious.
"Although Li Lanfeng is from a branch family, he has deep connections with the main family. You also have two successors of the Li family. I thought that you would be wary of Li Lanfeng." Yang Mingzhi had his own sources of information. He actually managed to find out some things about Li Lanfeng.
As for Li Shiyu and Li Yingjie, as long as someone wanted to, they would be able to find out about them easily. The Li family had never hidden their two heirs from the public.
"They didn't go to the 4th division but followed you to the 23rd division. It's obvious that they wanted to use General Ling Xiao's influence." Yang Mingzhi looked at Ling Lan's mecha and said sincerely, "They probably saw you and wanted to use you to break the military's blockade on the Li family."
"Actually, the Li family's plan was very successful. The three members of the Li family followed you and got promoted. All of them were lieutenant colonels and above. Li Lanfeng even became a colonel." Yang Mingzhi smiled. "Twenty-six years old. When we were twenty-six years old, we were still working hard for the rank of Senior Captain … When we were promoted to Colonel, we were already thirty-five years old. This comparison really makes me envious and jealous. Back then, why didn't I meet a super expert like you, Commander, who could lead us forward by leaps and bounds? "
"I'm sure," Yang Mingzhi, Yang said.. His expression turned serious. "Do you really not mind and trust them? Or are you like me? Can you make use of them but be wary of them at the same time?"
"I've checked your background before you came to 250 Ace Mecha Clan. The First Marshal asked you to tell me this, right?" Ling Lan frowned and went straight to the point.
"Regiment commander, why are you asking if you already know?" Yang Mingzhi smiled bitterly. Now, he didn't have anything to hide anymore. Although he was Ling Lan's team leader, he was still the First Marshal's subordinate.
"I just want to say it clearly." Ling Lan didn't want to be perfunctory. The Lingtian Mecha Clan could be confusing to the outside world but it had to be clear internally. This was the only way that Lingtian wouldn't fall apart because of some things.
Lingtian was brought up by Ling Lan. Perhaps one day, she would leave this mecha clan that she put all her effort into. However, she didn't want Lingtian to be just a flash in the pan. She hoped that the soul of Lingtian she created would be passed down in this world for a long time. That way, her transmigration wouldn't be in vain.
"Actually, you being the First Marshal's subordinate has nothing to do with me," Ling Lan said seriously. "Isn't my father, Ling Xiao, from the First Marshal's faction too? Hence, you and I are in the same faction. "
Yang Mingzhi smiled bitterly. How could they be the same?
Factions were just factions. Today, they had the same opinion so they were in the same faction. However, if they didn't have the same opinion tomorrow, they would go their separate ways. However, the prerequisite was that they had to be in the same position. On the other hand, he was personally groomed by the First Marshal. If it wasn't for the fact that his mecha clan was accidentally wiped out, causing him to be unable to recover from the setback, he would be the district commander of the 1st Division now. Back then, he would have been promoted to major general.
However, even though he was crippled, the First Marshal didn't give up on him. He still gave him the best treatment and kept him by his side. If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't want to trouble the First Marshal and applied to come to the 23rd Division, he might still be the First Marshal's most trusted advisor.
His relationship with the First Marshal was too deep. Even he didn't know if he could reject the First Marshal if he really asked him to leave Lingtian and return to the 1st Division.
This was why he worked so hard to bring up Liu Furong, Gu Dongyang and the other team leaders. He was destined to be a passer-by in Lingtian. The length of his stay wasn't something he could decide.
"Of course, just as you said, the military focuses on guarding against the aristocratic families, and the Li family, Ye family, and the four aristocratic families are all heavily guarded against. This is also why the small families can become the upper echelons of the army, while the super aristocratic families can't even get a lieutenant general with real power." Ling Lan had been in the military for a long time. She would talk to her father about the secrets of the military so she knew how cautious the military was towards the aristocratic families.
"But what does all this have to do with me?" Ling Lan said calmly, "I'm just a regiment commander of a mecha clan."
"But if they follow you, they can get what they need," Yang Mingzhi said in shock.
"That's because they have the ability. Since they have the ability, what's wrong with giving it to them?" Ling Lan said indifferently.
"Aren't you afraid that they will take over?" Yang Mingzhi frowned.
"Those who have such thoughts are usually those who don't have confidence in themselves." Ling Lan smiled and said proudly, "Even if I give Lingtian to them, it will still be my Lingtian when I need to use it."
Yang Mingzhi was stunned. He looked at the mecha in the sky with a complicated expression. He felt that even if the sky collapsed, the mecha would still be able to hold it up for them.
"I understand now." Yang Mingzhi smiled. From the start, Ling Lan was fearless. That was why he didn't need to be wary of the Li family. He didn't need to be wary of him, the First Marshal. That was because from the moment the Lingtian Mecha Clan was established, its soul was Ling Lan.
"In the end, our choices might be different but that doesn't mean that we can't work together," Ling Lan said seriously.
"Yes, regiment commander." Yang Mingzhi's smile got brighter.
"I only have one request. Don't do anything that will harm Lingtian. I won't show any mercy." Ling Lan said her bottom line.
"Understood, regiment commander." Yang Mingzhi's expression instantly turned serious as he made his promise.
