At this moment, a senior captain suddenly walked towards Ling Lan's group of six. He stood in front of Ling Lan and saluted her. "Hello, are you Major Ling Lan?" Ling Lan nodded. "Yes, are you Major Ling Lan?"
Ling Lan was stunned. She was a senior captain. How did she become a major? She saluted back and said, "Hello, I'm Ling Lan. May I know who you are?"
"I'm Captain Yue Lin, the captain of the First Battle Team of the General Staff. I'm here to welcome you." Although Senior Captain Yue Lin's tone was respectful, there was a hint of confusion and shock in his eyes. Although he had seen the photos of Ling Lan and her team, he was still shocked when he saw her young face.
After he said this, Li Lanfeng and the others who were standing behind Ling Lan changed their expressions. If the general was the brain of the division, then the staff officer was the command center of the division. The general's orders would be sent to every corner of the division through them.
It could be said that the staff officer was the most important department in the division. The Federation's invincible god of war, Marshal Luo Yasen, once said that if you wanted to win against a division, you just had to destroy their staff officer department. From this, it could be seen how important the staff officer department was in the division.
They didn't expect such a prestigious department to send someone to welcome them. Ling Lan and the others instantly felt flattered. They didn't stop. They sat on the hover car that Yue Lin brought and flew towards the staff officer department.
As soon as they left the square, the surrounding veterans who had been watching in silence suddenly burst into a commotion.
"The staff officer department actually sent someone to welcome them. Who is that new recruit?"
"A new recruit is already a major. How can we, who are still struggling at the rank of captain, survive?" Some of the veterans couldn't help but be envious.
"What do you think these new recruits are doing at the staff officer department?" Even the veterans were curious.
"Who knows? How would we know about the staff officer department?" The center of the 23rd Division's military operations was a mysterious and heavily guarded place. Normal soldiers were not allowed to get close to it for no reason.
Yep, yep, yep, I forgot. That was the place where all the officers were promoted. Therefore, you should never, ever offend the officers of the General Staff Department. Otherwise, you can forget about getting promoted steadily. Even if there was a chance, the other party would make you lose it.
Of course, if you have friends in the General Staff Department, congratulations. As long as you don't make any big mistakes, you will always be able to climb to the position you should be able to climb to.
The strategist department of every army headquarters was such an amazing existence! This was also the reason why the veterans were shocked when they saw the General Staff send people to welcome the new recruits. Normally, the General Staff's logistics guards would never have such an attitude. Not looking down their noses at them was already considered a good attitude.
At this moment, the fact that Ling Lan obtained two ace mechas from Caesar was kept a secret. Even Ling Xiao's rescue was done secretly. Other than a few people in the 23rd Division who knew about this, the other officers didn't know about this.
Although these veterans didn't know why the young people were treated so well by the General Staff Department, this scene was still fresh in their minds. Not long after, after the five divisions released a joint statement, these people finally understood why the young people they saw that day were treated so well by the General Staff Department. They were the people who made great contributions to the 23rd Division.
In the General Staff Department, the Second Staff Officer Tong Zhiying was a mess. He looked at the stacks of documents on his desk and couldn't help but rub his temples. Damn it, when He Xuyang was here, he didn't feel that he was important. Once he left, why did he feel that he couldn't do without him?
The adjutant beside him quickly gave him a glass of water and persuaded him, "Major General, you should rest for a while."
"I can't. Boss He left just like that and left this mess behind. The other divisions are anxiously waiting for our reply." Tong Zhiying took the glass and drank a mouthful of water to clear his mind. Then, he put the glass aside and continued to flip through the documents in his hands.
The adjutant sighed and took the glass of water away. Ever since He Xuyang left, his superior had been busy until midnight every day. This was just the simplified documents … it wasn't easy being a leader.
After flipping through a few pages of documents, Tong Zhiying suddenly thought of something. He raised his head and asked, "Is that Major Ling Lan here yet?"
The adjutant quickly replied, "Not yet. However, we have already sent people to pick her up. Don't worry, chief. She won't make any mistakes."
"That's good. Before Boss He left, he repeatedly told us to settle this matter properly. I also want to meet this Ling Lan. I want to see how capable she is to make Boss He care so much about her …"
Tong Zhiying frowned and said in a puzzled tone, "I remember that this Ling Lan is still a recruit. He just finished his recruit training and was assigned to a mecha clan. In less than a month, Boss He started promoting her to a major. He even went against everyone's opinions and wanted her to become the Regiment Commander of 250 Ace Mecha Clan. Although 250 Ace Mecha Clan is useless, it is still a mecha clan. Once Ling Lan becomes the Regiment Commander of 250 Ace Mecha Clan, she will be a regiment commander. She will have the right to command the mecha clan independently …"
"Boss He has always been fair in his dealings. He only cares about Ling Lan a lot. If I didn't know Boss He well, I would have suspected that Ling Lan is Boss He's illegitimate son …" Tong Zhiying laughed in surprise. It couldn't be helped. He Xuyang cared too much about Ling Lan. Tong Zhiying couldn't help but think too much about it.
Tong Zhiying didn't know that although Ling Lan wasn't He Xuyang's illegitimate son, she was related to their highest commander … Yes, Tong Zhiying had thought about this before. After all, they both had the surname 'Ling'. However, Ling Xiao's image of being fair was too deeply rooted in people's hearts. Plus, there was no news that General Ling Xiao had a child. As for the children of the Ling family … it was already merciful of Ling Xiao not to torture them. Would he be kind enough to nurture them?
The relationship between Ling Xiao and the Ling family was an open secret in the 23rd Division.
This was also why Tong Zhiying didn't let his subordinates pass on Ling Lan's promotion notice, instead choosing to meet Ling Lan personally. He really did want to see what kind of person Ling Lan was that Big Boss He had been taking care of all this while.
At that moment, all the staff members in the staff room were busy. In the spacious hallways, staff members could be seen holding large stacks of documents as they shuttled back and forth between the rooms.
Even though it was already the age of technology, and almost everything depended on the mainframe for overall planning, the Federation had seen how terrifying the mainframe could be when it went out of control. Thus, they still maintained the habit of keeping paper records, which had been passed down for thousands of years, just in case. This was also why there were so many documents in the General Staff Department.
The staff room would turn all the electronic applications, resource distribution lists, awards, and so on into paper. Then, it would be sent to the person in charge of each department to sign. In the end, the electronic documents would be sent down. The paper documents would be kept in the staff room's archives.
Thus, the staff room was always bustling with activity. Sometimes, when there was an urgent document, they would run all the way. The staff room was the most disorderly place in the entire division. Everywhere one looked, there was chaos.
Ling Lan's group of six followed Yue Lin into the staff officer's office. They hadn't even taken a few steps when a tightly shut door at the side of the corridor suddenly opened. A staff member carrying a large stack of documents rushed out from inside, coincidentally bumping into them. The stack of documents in his hands was so tall that it almost blocked his line of sight, which was why he hadn't noticed Ling Lan's group.
Just as he was about to bump into Ling Lan's group, the staff member suddenly realized that there were people in front of him. He instantly shouted in panic, "Dodge! Dodge!"
Yue Lin didn't expect someone to rush out of the room beside him. Just as he was about to bump into the person, Ling Lan suddenly reached out and pulled him. Yue Lin felt his body uncontrollably move to the side. That person coincidentally brushed past him.
The staff member who didn't bump into anyone didn't notice Ling Lan's actions. He thought that the other party had dodged by himself. When he saw that he didn't bump into anyone, he instantly heaved a sigh of relief. He said, "Brother, you're quite skilled. Thanks." The next second, he ran towards the room he wanted to go to.
Yue Lin glanced at Ling Lan in shock. That pull seemed simple but in reality, it wasn't. The other party came too quickly and too suddenly. With his ability, there was no way he could dodge. Just when he thought that the two of them would definitely bump into each other, Ling Lan easily helped him out of this predicament. It could be seen that no matter whether it was in terms of eyesight or speed, the other party was many times stronger than him. Thinking about his own physical skills, he couldn't help but think that perhaps the other party had already entered the Qi-Jin stage.
It had to be said that Ling Lan's age didn't make anyone think of the domain realm. No matter if it was the Soul Realm or Caesar, when they were looking for the domain realm master escorting the princess, they first excluded Ling Lan and the others. They didn't even think that the domain realm master they were looking for was among them.
In the past, Ling Lan only hid the fact that she had entered the domain realm because she wanted to keep it as a trump card. Now, it seemed that she was right. This caused Ling Lan's age to become her best protection. No one would suspect them after that.
Yue Lin, who originally didn't think much of these newbies, instantly became respectful towards them. No wonder they were able to become majors at such a young age. Even the junior officers were senior captains like him. Their captain's physical skills were already many times stronger than his.
Yue Lin didn't dare to let his guard down. He walked carefully and brought Ling Lan to the door of a room.
Yue Lin pressed a button on the door and saw the door suddenly open. What entered his eyes was actually a stack of documents. He saw a person lying in the pile of documents looking for something.
"Colonel Yu, Yue Lin is here to report. Colonel Ling Lan is here." Yue Lin quickly saluted the person on the ground and shouted loudly.
Hearing this, the person quickly stood up. He looked at Ling Lan and the others behind Yue Lin and said, "You're finally here. The second staff officer is waiting for you."
