He just received a call from the adjutant of the Second Staff Officer asking if Ling Lan was here. It seemed like Ling Lan was already on the list. She had a bright future ahead of her. Colonel Yu sighed. At the same time, his attitude towards Ling Lan and the others became more amiable.
Those who were able to work in the staff officer department all had a sharp mind. They were good at figuring out the thoughts of their superiors. If not, they wouldn't be able to work in the staff officer department. Colonel Yu was also a person who knew how to get along with people. Of course, he wouldn't do anything stupid like trying to intimidate Ling Lan. He immediately stopped what he was doing and brought Ling Lan to meet the Second Staff Officer. His superior was looking for him in a hurry so he didn't dare to waste any more time.
As for Zilong and the others, sorry, the Second Staff Officer only wanted to meet Ling Lan. Of course, they didn't have the right to meet the Second Staff Officer. Colonel Yu ordered Yue Lin to bring them to the living room at the side to rest for a while and wait for the meeting with Ling Lan to end.
Tong Zhiying had just finished reading a document when he heard his adjutant say softly, "Chief, Ling Lan is here."
Tong Zhiying nodded slightly and signaled his adjutant to let Ling Lan in.
Ling Lan came in with Colonel Yu. She saw a major general who was about the same age as He Xuyang sitting behind an office desk. He was looking at her with a serious expression. His eyes were filled with scrutiny.
Ling Lan who had just entered the division didn't have many chances to meet generals. However, she was Ling Xiao's daughter. Although Ling Xiao looked gentle and always had a smile on his face, he still had the aura of a general. Ling Lan wasn't afraid of Ling Xiao. How could she be scared by Tong Zhiying's gaze?
She calmly followed Colonel Yu and greeted Tong Zhiying. Her actions were clean and she didn't have any fear. Tong Zhiying's first impression of her was very good.
Tong Zhiying asked the two of them to sit down and chat. He looked at Ling Lan who was sitting upright with a firm and cold expression on her face. A hint of satisfaction appeared in his eyes again. Tong Zhiying liked soldiers like Ling Lan who had a strong character and was neither arrogant nor humble. Ling Lan's calmness from the moment she came in gave him a good impression of her.
Tong Zhiying's instantly became more relaxed. He said, "Ling Lan Editor: Atlas Studios, Ling Lan, right? I asked you to come here to pass a letter of appointment from General Ling Xiao.. Ling.
When Ling Lan heard this, she immediately stood up and said, "Please instruct me, chief!"
Tong Zhiying stood up too. His adjutant immediately passed him a document. Tong Zhiying opened it and read it out loud with a serious expression, "The leader of the Lingtian Battle Team, Senior Captain Ling Lan, performed outstandingly during the mission and achieved first-class merits. He will be awarded the Purple Cloud Medal. At the same time, he will be appointed as the regiment commander of 250 Ace Mecha Clan. . Appointed by: Ling Xiao. "
She had thought that this time, she would at most receive some honorary rewards, such as that Purple Cloud Medal. Who would have thought that her own father would actually break tradition and directly promote her, a new recruit, to the position of regiment commander of a mecha clan... this time, her own father was definitely abusing his power for personal gain. But hells, why did she feel that her own father was so high and mighty?
Ling Lan deeply felt the fatherly love that Ling Xiao had never spoken of. Her heart twitched violently a few times, and there was actually warmth in her eyes. She took a deep breath and replied loudly, "Thank you for your trust, chief!"
.... Tong Zhiying saw Ling Lan's emotions change from shock to excitement and then to calmness. He acknowledged He Xuyang's foresight even more. This Ling Lan was indeed a talent.
Although he didn't know what the mission was, he was able to get General Ling Xiao's attention and receive the Purple Cloud Medal. This proved that Ling Lan's promotion was exchanged with military merits and not through connections. Tong Zhiying let go of the last bit of his grudge and started to admire Ling Lan.
Of course, the meeting was only for a few minutes. Tong Zhiying's second chief of staff was very busy. After passing the appointment letter, Ling Lan left Tong Zhiying's office with Colonel Yu.
"Congratulations, Regiment Commander Ling!" Colonel Yu congratulated her sincerely. He thought that Ling Lan's future was limitless. However, he still needed to wait for some time before he could succeed. He didn't expect Ling Lan to reach the top in one step.
Ling Lan's military rank had only changed a little this time. She was now a major, which was very inconspicuous. It should be known that in the entire division, being a major wasn't something rare. There were many of them. This was because as long as one operated an ace mecha and had a stable base, they would be promoted to major. For example, people like Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng. There were also some people who had made some contributions in certain fields. They would also be promoted to major, such as Li Shiyu.
There were also some administrative personnel who would be promoted to a major when they reached a certain age. Although Ling Lan was young and it was rare for her to be a major, in the entire Federation, there were many people who were promoted to a major at the same age as Ling Lan. There was nothing to be proud of.
However, military ranks were divided into fake and real ranks. A fake rank was just a benefit. It meant that one could enjoy all the benefits of a real rank. Just like those ace mecha masters. A fake rank like this wasn't worth much. It just allowed the soldier to enjoy better benefits. It didn't give him much real power. Hence, in the division, there were even some major generals who were not as respected as the regiment commander of an independent mecha clan.
This was why Ling Xiao's status was higher than the other 11 god-class operators. Ling Xiao's military rank was real. He was in control of an entire division. He wasn't just a god-class operator who was used as a deterrent to the nation.
That's right. What made Colonel Yu change his expression was that Ling Lan was the regiment commander of 250 Ace Mecha Clan. This meant that Ling Lan was a real major. He would have the right to command and manage a mecha clan.
In the division, a mecha clan was the smallest independent mecha clan. It meant that from a mecha clan onwards, one would have the right to command a battle team. Hence, Ling Lan's status as a major was higher than Li Lanfeng, Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng.
"If 250 Ace Mecha Clan needs anything in the future, you can look for me," Colonel Yu said with a smile. Colonel Yu said with a smile. Of course, he wouldn't refuse to be on good terms with such a capable and capable regiment commander.
"Thank you, Colonel Yu." Ling Lan didn't reject Colonel Yu's good intentions. She thanked him directly.
Although she could ask the chief of staff for help, she would feel embarrassed if she kept bothering He Xuyang with trivial matters. After all, He Xuyang was her father's chief of staff. He wasn't hers. If she could have a good relationship with Colonel Yu, she wouldn't have to bother the chief of staff anymore.
Although Ling Lan had a cold aura, she wasn't someone who didn't know how to talk. After a while, the two of them got along even better.
Seeing that it was time to rest, Ling Lan invited Colonel Yu to have a meal together. Of course, she didn't care how she would interact with Colonel Yu during the meal.
How could the five little brothers she had brought along be useless? Thus, they took on this mission without hesitation. Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng were the first to drink. One of them drank while the other chatted casually. This was how relationships were. The more they drank, the better they talked.
Yes, this was the most important thing about Boss. There were subordinates to help with everything. Ling Lan squinted her eyes happily. She held a cup of tea and happily watched her subordinates use all kinds of weapons to beat Colonel Yu until he was dizzy and disoriented. He threw away his helmet and armor and kept begging for mercy.
At the end of the meal, all the guests were in a good mood. Colonel Yu and Zhao Jun drank until they were close. Colonel Yu patted Zhao Jun's shoulder and asked him to introduce him to his friends the next time he came …
Ling Lan was happy that she was able to deal with an important person in the staff officer department. After saying goodbye to Colonel Yu, Ling Lan didn't choose to go back to Ling Xiao's mansion to rest. Instead, she went back to 250 Ace Mecha Clan.
"Boss, what should we do when we go back?" In the hover car, Zhao Jun was a little tipsy. He couldn't help but ask.
Although Ling Lan became the Regiment Commander of 250 Ace Mecha Clan, they knew that it wasn't easy to be the Regiment Commander of 250 Ace Mecha Clan. The mecha operators in 250 Ace Mecha Clan were all useless. A mecha clan without any battle prowess was not worthy of being called a mecha clan.
Ling Lan was resting with her eyes closed. When she heard Zhao Jun's question, she rubbed her right thumb against her index finger. Then, she opened her eyes. "What do you all think?"
"Take in new recruits. Anyway, the mecha clan still needs a lot of people. Let's take care of these mecha operators for now. " Li Yingjie knew the background of the mecha operators in 250 Ace Mecha Clan. He knew that it wasn't easy to get rid of these useless mecha operators so he came up with this idea.
"Li Yingjie's suggestion is feasible. As long as we control the number of people in the logistics department, we can still form a strong mecha clan." Lin Zhong-qing agreed.
"But, if we want to train new recruits, it will take at least 30 to 50 years. I want to go to the battlefield immediately." Zilong seemed to have thought of something. He gritted his teeth. "Also, the despicable Twilight Empire has been making more and more moves recently. Everyone knows that the war with the Twilight Empire is just around the corner. I'm afraid that if we take in too many new recruits, if the war starts in the next few years, we will become the reserve force of the division because of these new recruits. "
Just as the name suggested, the reserve force would only be sent to the battlefield after the main force was defeated. However, the probability of this happening was very low. Thus, the chances of them going to the battlefield was close to zero. At most, they could only be the logistics department and clean up the battlefield.
After hearing this, even Li Yingjie, who suggested taking in new recruits, immediately crossed out his suggestion. These hot-blooded youths didn't want to be the reserve force. To them, this was definitely a tragedy.
Ling Lan looked at Li Lanfeng. Li Lanfeng smiled bitterly. "It's impossible to transfer mecha operators from other mecha clans. Unless General Ling Xiao gives the order … but I believe that General Ling Xiao won't agree to it."
"Since we don't want to take in new recruits, then we can only recruit from the mecha operators we have. I hope that Shiyu's agent is good enough to cure a group of mecha operators." Li Lanfeng knew that this was very difficult. After all, these mecha operators were declared to be useless by the military. No matter how good his agent was, it wouldn't be able to cure them.
Ling Lan went into deep thought. She tapped her finger on the armrest.
Mental illness? Psychological problems? Are they all useless?
She smiled slightly. A strange whirlpool appeared in her dark eyes. A bone-chilling coldness flashed past her eyes.
In that case, let's see if these people are really useless!
In 250 Ace Mecha Clan, a luxurious training ground was built. This training ground that had been idle for a long time finally fulfilled its duties this month. It welcomed a group of mecha operators to undergo cruel physical training.
Jiang Enhua was an ace mecha master. He was only 33 years old. To be able to become an ace mecha master at such a young age, he was considered a talented mecha master. Although he had made a lot of contributions on the battlefield, compared to the ace mecha operators of the Southern Dipper Mecha Clan and the Northern Dipper Mecha Clan, he was a little ordinary. Among the many mecha operators with all kinds of achievements, he was even more unremarkable.
Originally, Jiang Enhua had a bright future. Unfortunately, in a mecha battle with the Twilight Empire, everything was destroyed. He was ruthlessly beaten up by the ace mecha masters of the Twilight Empire. His entire mecha, other than the cockpit, was completely destroyed.
After that, the cockpit was found by the logisticians who were cleaning up the battlefield. Everyone thought that he was one of the lucky ones who survived. Only he knew that his psychological barrier was broken by his opponent. He was only able to survive after he begged for mercy. He couldn't forget his ugly performance and how his opponent mocked him and called him trash. After that, he didn't have the courage to operate a mecha anymore. From then on, he lived a muddle-headed life. In the end, he was thrown into the 23rd division's 250 Ace Mecha Clan like trash.
On the first day when he received Li Shiyu's agent, he couldn't endure the pain for more than five minutes. He begged for mercy and told Li Shiyu everything. His weakness made Li Shiyu despise him. He didn't want to waste his agent so he threw Jiang Enhua to Xie Yi and Luo Lang for them to torture him.
However, Jiang Enhua, who had already given up on himself, couldn't endure the torture. He begged for mercy early on or fainted. In the end, when he reached the training ground, he would shamelessly hug the railing beside the track and cry loudly. He would rather die than train. Xie Yi and Luo Lang didn't know what to do with this mecha operator who didn't care about whether he was trash or not. Even Li Shiyu's terrifying agent couldn't help him.
Perverted psychology could be cured. Isolation and loneliness could also be cured. All kinds of anger, hatred and hatred could be cured. However, Jiang Enhua's mentality of giving up on himself was the most difficult to cure. Unfortunately, in the entire mecha clan, Jiang Enhua's illness was the most common. If one Jiang Enhua gave up, many others would give up too. Very soon, a large group of people collapsed on the training ground. No matter how much the Lingtian Battle Team mocked and scolded them, they couldn't stand up again.
