The captain smiled. "Even if the commander wants to send someone to teach Ling Lan a lesson, he needs to be willing to give him a chance."
The vice-captain was stunned. "You mean, General Ling Xiao won't give the commander a chance to do anything?"
"Let's wait and see. I guess that our special forces will be given a mission soon. I just don't know how long the general wants to torture us." After all, Lian Shaojing and the others from the Sting Battle Team were in the wrong. It was reasonable for General Ling Xiao to want to avenge his son. He just hoped that General Ling Xiao wouldn't hold a grudge against the special forces because of this.
The vice-captain also reacted. He looked at Lian Shaojing with disdain. "I knew that Lian Shaojing was a burden. Why did the Bayonet Team choose him?" It was because of the recommendation of the captain of the Bayonet Team that Lian Shaojing was qualified to be a reserve in the special forces. This also caused the things that they did to be linked to the special forces. Now, they even offended the Crown Prince and the general.
"I hope that the general will be merciful." The vice-captain's face was filled with tears. He was very nervous. General Ling Xiao was their idol. When they applied to join the special forces of the 23rd Division, it was because of General Ling Xiao's call. If they were really hated by the general because of this incident, the members of the special forces would probably go crazy. They would rush to the hospital immediately and tear Lian Shaojing into pieces.
"We will see what mission the headquarters gives us in a few days. We will know whether the general is angry or not." The captain wasn't very worried. General Ling Xiao was always fair and just. He wouldn't get angry unless the special forces wanted to provoke Ling Lan again. Hence, the situation wouldn't get too bad. General Ling Xiao was always fair and just. He wouldn't be angry unless the special forces wanted to provoke Ling Lan again.
As expected, the next day, the headquarters gave an order for the captain to bring all the official battle teams and reserve battle teams to the training camp of the 1st Division for three months.
Faced with this order, the faces of the original members of the Bladed Special Forces instantly turned pale. Those who didn't know the details thought that this was a reward from the general for their hard work over the past few years and gave them a long holiday. It was a training in name, but in reality, it was an arrangement for them to recuperate. Therefore, they excitedly carried their bags and embarked on the journey to the 1st Division in high spirits …
"Three months. It seems that the general wants to give the new recruits three months of safety." When the captain received this order, he thought carefully and understood the general's meaning. The corners of his mouth revealed a trace of a happy smile. "In other words, after three months, no matter what I do, he won't interfere anymore."
General Ling Xiao truly lived up to his name. He was a rational father who knew how to nurture his child into a capable person. How could the fragrance of the plum blossoms? It seemed that he was prepared to use the special forces as a whetstone to train Ling Lan. The captain, who originally wanted to stop his battle teams from finding trouble with Ling Lan, had a new idea now.
"Ling Lan, the young master of the 23rd Division, let me see how much you have grown." The captain, who had been calm all this time, finally revealed a slight fluctuation in his eyes that was almost ignored by others.
This order from the headquarters was quickly received by all the teams in the 23rd Division. The battle teams that originally wanted to wait and see couldn't sit still anymore.
"The special forces were sent out by the headquarters for three months of training. Does this prove that the headquarters, no, General Ling Xiao's final decision on Lian Shaojing's matter? "
"General Ling Xiao didn't think that the new recruits were wrong." Everyone could feel the stance of the leader of the division. Of course, there was nothing wrong with the recruits. It was just that everyone was worried about the position of the special forces. They didn't want to offend the special forces because there were no more benefits for them.
However, all of this was changed by the order from the headquarters. Since the headquarters had made a decision, they didn't need to worry too much. There were indeed many good seedlings among the new recruits this time. All the battle teams had been eyeing them for a long time. Many team captains decided to switch from secret recruitment to open recruitment. They strived to recruit the people they fancied into their teams before the end of the recruit training period to increase the strength of their teams.
A hover car was speeding through Southern Region City. Southern Region City was one of the many military cities on planet Southcrest. A military city meant that the people living in this city were all active soldiers of the 23rd Division and their family members. Of course, a military city also had another name, which was a military base. However, a military base had developed to a point where it could no longer be described as a base. Hence, it was called a military city.
There were a total of 10 military cities on Planet Southcrest. The population of each city was at least 10 million. Southern Region City was the most luxurious city among the 10 military cities. There were 50 million soldiers and their family members living there. The reason why there were so many people living there was because Southern Region City was the command center of the 23rd Division. All the higher-ups in the headquarters lived there, including the core leader of the 23rd Division, General Ling Xiao.
After the hover car arrived at a flat piece of land, it automatically descended to a height of 2 meters from the ground. It flew at a low altitude for about 10 minutes before it finally arrived at the entrance of a manor.
There were two soldiers on duty standing at the entrance. When they saw the hover car approaching, one of them stepped forward and signaled for the hover car to stop.
The hover car stopped and the car window opened automatically. A face with a mask was revealed.
The soldier on duty didn't find it strange. Soldiers who returned from the battlefield always had some kind of disability. The Federation's technology made up for these soldiers' regrets by installing electronic replacements for them. For example, blind people could get electronic eyes, people who lost their nose could get an electronic nose. These electronic devices could help disabled soldiers become normal people and were widely loved by disabled soldiers. The only downside was that after installing the electronic devices, they would be left with a metal mask. Although there were already human skin masks, they were expensive to make. Soldiers who didn't care about appearances didn't want to waste a lot of credits on them.
Later, these electronic devices gradually developed into civilian products. Some people who were born with disabilities had these electronic devices installed since they were young and became normal people. They joined the military with normal people. When most people saw someone wearing a mask, they would choose to ignore it. Children who aspired to become soldiers would not do something that would hurt others. This was also why Li Lanfeng could live comfortably in the scout academy and the military academy with a mask on, and no one would question him.
The soldier on duty saluted seriously. The person in the car also saluted seriously. Who could relax in front of a general's official residence?
"Please show me your pass," the soldier on duty reminded.
The person in the car immediately took out a chip. The soldier on duty took out a small device and shone it at the chip. After a beep, the information of the person in the car was displayed on the screen of the device.
"Flying Eagle Ace Mecha Clan 0173 of the 23rd Division, Major Zhao Jun. Flying Eagle Ace Mecha Clan 0214 of the 23rd Division, Major Li Lanfeng. Military Doctor 9189 of the 23rd Division's headquarters, Major Li Shiyu. Permission granted. "
The soldier on duty saw this and his expression softened. He took out the device again and let the three people in the hover car confirm their identities. After a round of checks and confirming that there were no mistakes, the soldier on duty called inside. "Captain, Major Zhao Jun of the 4th Division, Flying Eagle Ace Mecha Clan 0173. Flying Eagle Ace Mecha Clan 0214 of the 4th Division, Major Li Lanfeng. Military Doctor 9189 of the headquarters, Major Li Shiyu requests to pass. Please confirm immediately. "
"Time and name confirmed. Permission granted." Soon, a confirmation message came from inside.
"Yes!" The soldier on duty opened the door and signaled for the hover car to enter.
The hover car flew for more than a minute before it saw another checkpoint. An officer with a stern expression stood there. When he saw the hover car approaching, he signaled for them to stop.
"Major Zhao Jun, Major Li Lanfeng, Major Li Shiyu?" The officer asked with a cold expression.
The three of them nodded. The officer continued, "Please get off the car. For the rest of the journey, you will need to change to another hover car."
Li Lanfeng and the other two knew why this was so. For safety reasons, everything outside was not allowed to enter the general's residence. The moment they got off the car, six soldiers came up to them. They took out their devices and checked the entire area. After confirming that there were no dangerous items, they nodded at the officer.
The officer's expression softened a little. He waved his hand and a hover car flew over from the side. He opened the car door and said, "Majors, please get on the car."
After Li Lanfeng and the other two got on the hover car, the officer also got on the car. He introduced himself, "Majors, I'm General Ling Xiao's adjutant, Teng Huacheng. If you need anything in the future, you can contact me."
Li Lanfeng and the other two smiled politely and said that they didn't dare to. They knew that this lieutenant colonel was just being polite. If they really looked for him, they would probably be scolded for not knowing their place.
Soon, the hover car arrived at a large manor. This was General Ling Xiao's official residence. Teng Huacheng brought the three of them down the car and walked into the manor. They saw a female second lieutenant standing at the entrance of the hall.
"Lieutenant Colonel Teng, are these the three majors that Senior Colonel Lan invited?" The female second lieutenant asked.
"Yes, Second Lieutenant He." Teng Huacheng replied with a smile. He had been the adjutant of General Ling Xiao for two years. He knew who was the most powerful here. Hence, he didn't dare to neglect Second Lieutenant He, who was the adjutant of Senior Colonel Lan.
"Okay, sorry to trouble you, Lieutenant Colonel Teng. Follow me. Senior Colonel Lan wants to see you." Second Lieutenant He smiled slightly. When she saw the three of them looking at her suspiciously, she hurriedly reminded them, "Senior Colonel Lan is General Ling Xiao's wife. However, Senior Colonel Lan doesn't like being called wife. Thus, everyone here calls her Senior Colonel Lan."
