"Wow!" The members of the military who attended the meeting started cheering again. This time, there was a hint of anger on their faces. Although they had their own selfish motives and wanted to suppress Ling Lan's speed of ascension, they were still unable to do so. However, they only wanted to reduce the merits of Ling Lan and the Lingtian Mecha Clan. They didn't want to punish her.
"This is too much. This kind of behavior must be severely punished." One of the officers in the corner couldn't hold back his anger and shouted.
Everyone agreed with this statement. "Yes, he must be severely punished."
Ling Lan, who was sitting on the stage, opened her eyes in surprise when she heard the first voice. She turned her head and looked over.
Mu Chaoran saw her looking over. He had an evil smile on his face. His lips moved and he said something silently.
"Little Brother Shaoyun, I said that I will protect you!" Ling Lan knew how to read lips so she knew what he said immediately.
Ling Lan frowned slightly. She realized that she had unintentionally concealed her aura just now. The other party must have seen through her.
Then, Ling Lan relaxed her frown. She didn't want to say it back then because it was just a mission. The three of them were pretending to be another fake person. Once the mission ended, it meant that everything was back to square one. From then on, they would go their separate ways.
However, since she was recognized, Ling Lan didn't feel any burden. She could do whatever she wanted. It wouldn't affect her.
Ling Lan turned her head calmly. She didn't look at Mu Chaoran, Tang Ningyu, and the others anymore.
"Looks like he didn't affect you at all," Tang Ningyu said regretfully. He wanted to see Ling Lan's expression change a little.
"To be honest, if Ling Lan didn't conceal her cold aura just now, I would've seen through her. If someone told me that he was the cute Little Brother Shaoyun on Planet Azure, I would've thought that person was messing with me. "Mu Chaoran smiled bitterly. He really couldn't figure out how this ice-cold expressionless man could act out such an adorable, pure, and soft Little Brother Shaoyun.
The angel whose smile could brighten up the entire world, make the surrounding atmosphere joyful, and make people smile involuntarily, was actually a devil who could freeze and suffocate the entire world with a single glance, make the air condense, and make people feel pressured. Those who were slightly weaker would think that they were going to die?
Mu Chaoran also felt that this world was very strange to have two completely opposite auras on the same person. Because of this, from the moment they saw Ling Lan, they did not connect the two of them.
Tang Ningyu deeply agreed with Mu Chaoran's words. In fact, when Mu Chaoran recognized that Ling Lan was Shaoyun's younger brother, he still felt that it was a dream. His first thought was that they might have been mistaken.
Because of Mu Chaoran's appeal, the members of the Army were united against a common enemy. No one wanted to be distracted from guarding against a sneak attack from behind when they were fighting with all their heart for the country and the people. Without a doubt, this act of framing had crossed everyone's bottom line. Everyone's original focus was on how to suppress Ling Lan and the Lingtian Mecha Clan's merits. Now, everyone's focus was on the informant.
Seeing this, Major General Gao coughed twice. The noisy crowd instantly quieted down.
"If you don't have any objections to Major General Ling's report, then enter the contents of Major General Ling's report into the mainframe and wait for the mainframe to calculate the merits. What do you think?" Major General Gao asked loudly.
In order to prevent merit points from being randomly distributed, or from being deducted for no reason, the rewards were all calculated and distributed by the mainframe. This way, there wouldn't be a strange situation where different numbers of merit points would appear in the same battle, the same army, and the same battle team with the same battle results.
Another member in the corner shouted, "I don't have any objections!"
"What objections? Do you think we can frame Major General Ling for lying about his military exploits, just like how we framed Major General Ling for killing the enemy? "Following that, an Almighty asked.
"Yes, I don't have any objections."
"I don't have any objections either."
Not everyone had selfish motives. Some members of the Army still had their original intentions. When they heard this question, they were deeply moved and all spoke up to support it.
Those who thought that Ling Lan was climbing up too slowly also gave up on their original decision after hearing this question.
Yes, were they going to frame a meritorious person for lying about their merits? This was what they despised the most in the first place.
When these people didn't want to suppress Ling Lan anymore, the final result was already decided. Even if there were a few people with ulterior motives, they could only helplessly watch as Ling Lan and the Lingtian Mecha Clan got the merits they deserved. Not to mention dragging Ling Xiao down because of this.
Soon, the mainframe calculated the merits of Ling Lan and everyone in the Lingtian Mecha Clan. It also came up with a reward list.
Everyone in the Lingtian Mecha Clan was promoted by one rank (it couldn't be helped because their battle results were too high). Many people who performed very well at the Nebula Boundary directly jumped by three ranks (of course, these were the people with lower ranks). There were also some mecha operators who were especially outstanding and rose by two ranks after killing countless enemies.
Many old mecha operators who were stuck at the rank of senior colonel were promoted to major general after this heaven-defying battle results. It was an exaggeration to say that the Lingtian Mecha Clan couldn't be compared to the famous legendary mecha clans in the Federation in other aspects. However, it was definitely the mecha clan with the most major generals.
When they saw the list of rewards, everyone in the Army was dumbfounded.
"Is this … okay?" Someone trembled as he asked. They knew that the rewards would be exaggerated but they didn't expect it to be this exaggerated. Just the front row of 40 to 50 major generals was enough to make them waver.
"Why don't we move these major generals out and spread them out?" Someone suggested.
"But Lingtian is an independent mecha clan. No, it should be an independent army now!" According to the standards of an independent mecha clan, once the senior generals reached a certain standard, they could apply to be promoted to an independent army. There were two requirements to be able to promote to an independent army. The first requirement was that there must be at least 15 major generals in the mecha clan. The second requirement was that the regiment commander of the mecha clan must be a lieutenant general.
And now, the Lingtian Mecha Clan had fulfilled both requirements. Once Lingtian Mecha Clan went through this process, they would be able to become an independent mecha clan with 40 to 50 thousand people.
In history, there had never been an independent mecha clan that successfully promoted to an independent army in less than a year.
The existing independent armies were formed through the hard work of several generations of soldiers, and through various coincidences, they were successfully nurtured into an independent army. Of course, most of them never had the chance to be promoted. This was why there were so many independent mecha clans in the Federation but only 26 independent armies.
Lingtian, on the other hand, would be the only Independent Regiment in the past 100 years to successfully advance into the Federation's 27th Independent Regiment.
