Ye Ling's words only received silence from Ye Xu. Ye Ling wasn't sure if Ye Xu agreed with his opinion, but it didn't matter. His mission was to let Ye Xu know that once he left the Ye Family, he, Ye Xu, was nothing.
Ye Xu and Ye Ling didn't know that the person they were talking about, Wu Jiong, was in Soldier City just like them. He was one of the members of the 15th Division.
However, the difference was that Ye Xu was purposely promoted by the Ye family. They purposely arranged for him to come here and make him look good. After three years, he would be officially promoted to be the deputy of a mecha clan. After a year, he would be able to lead a mecha clan by himself.
Wu Jiong came here because he had no choice but to leave Mai City. Wu Jiong knew that the main family and the branch family of the 15th Division were fighting fiercely. However, he didn't expect the main family to be suppressed by the branch family to this extent. The branch family also tried their best to create obstacles for the most outstanding member of the main family. They made it hard for Wu Jiong to do anything in the 15th Division. However, due to the rules, his grandfather and father couldn't do anything.
Faced with the obstruction of the branch family, in order to give himself a chance to breathe, Wu Jiong had no choice but to embark on this path of promotion that he had originally looked down upon. He used the rare authority of the main family to put his name on the list of troops stationed at the military headquarters.
Wu Jiong sat in the military hover car of the 15th Division and finally arrived at the entrance of Soldier City.
There were no soldiers on duty at the entrance of Soldier City. However, Wu Jiong knew that there were all kinds of hidden surveillance equipment and advanced anti-invasion weapons within a few kilometers of the entrance. Whoever dared to offend them would be instantly engulfed by high-energy laser beams and disappear from this world.
Entering Soldier City, the people that entered their sight were all valiant soldiers that belonged to different legions. They were either in groups of a dozen or walking in twos or threes while chatting. Although it was just a glance, one could understand the prosperity and vitality of Soldier City.
However, no matter how good the city was, it couldn't hide the sadness in Wu Jiong's heart. Before he entered the 15th Division, his path was very smooth. He only fell because of Ye Xu. This made him underestimate the difficulty of the 15th Division …
Wu Jiong fiercely wiped his face. The excessive force caused his face to ache faintly, but Wu Jiong didn't feel it at all. Instead, the pain made him feel a little better. As expected, without Boss Lan, he was unable to do anything. Now, in order to obtain real power as soon as possible, he was doing something he had previously disdained to do. If Boss Lan knew about this, he would definitely be disappointed.
When he left the military academy and parted ways, the lofty ambitions he had once set down now seemed so laughable. He was indeed a frog at the bottom of a well.
Wu Jiong, who had doubts about his own abilities, began to doubt himself.
"We're here!" Someone shouted, startling Wu Jiong awake. Wu Jiong realized that he had arrived at the headquarters of the 15th Division. The soldiers who came with him carried their bags and got off the hover car excitedly.
Wu Jiong used his hands to pat his cheeks to cheer himself up. Since he had already chosen this path, then he had to walk it with determination. Boss Lan hated people who gave up halfway the most.
Just like that, Wu Jiong, with a hint of anticipation and nervousness, welcomed the three years at the headquarters that could change his fate. However, he didn't expect that the person he missed day and night was bringing his friends to Soldier City.
In the regiment commander's office of the 3rd Division's headquarters, a young major was saying his last goodbyes to his superior, who was also the highest commanding officer of the headquarters.
"Qiao Ting, are you really not willing to stay for another three years?" The regiment commander looked at his capable subordinate in front of him and was extremely reluctant to part with him.
In the beginning, Qiao Ting, who was still a new recruit, was directly sent to the headquarters by his superior using his connections. He was unwilling to stay here for three years. He thought that Qiao Ting was useless and could only rely on his connections to get promoted … However, the regiment commander also knew that in front of these rich second generations with such strong backgrounds, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only accept them. However, he still didn't treat Qiao Ting nicely.
However, he didn't expect that during a conflict with the 2nd Division's headquarters, Qiao Ting would stubbornly propose an individual arena battle. In the end, he even defeated his opponent, which really made the 3rd Division proud. Only then did the regiment commander know that Qiao Ting wasn't useless and didn't rely on his connections to get promoted. He was truly capable. The reason why he came here was because the superiors of the 3rd Division wanted to groom him. That was why they used this method to quickly get him promoted and become a regiment commander.
After all, in order to become a regiment commander, one needed to have enough merits. Unfortunately, the missions that were available during the recruit period were not enough to allow one to be promoted to regiment commander of a mecha clan in a short period of time. In order to promote the talents of the younger generation, the various divisions had no choice but to rack their brains to gather enough merits for these people. This was also why the garrisoned troops were so popular. After all, these missions were worth a lot of merits.
Qiao Ting heard the regiment commander asking him to stay and could only show an apologetic expression. "I'm sorry, regiment commander. I can only follow the orders of the superiors." When Qiao Ting returned this time, he would be the deputy regiment commander of a normal mecha clan. There was no other way. The merits from being stationed in the headquarters could only help him get to that position. After that, he still needed to continue working hard to remove the 'deputy' and become a true regiment commander.
Hearing this, the regiment commander could only say regretfully, "If you had three more years, you would have been promoted to regiment commander. However, no matter what, I must congratulate you. Work hard, my major. "
The superiors clearly wanted to put this person in front of him in an important position. A hint of envy appeared in the regiment commander's eyes. It had taken him a whole 10 years to get to the position of regiment commander. Meanwhile, the other party had become a deputy regiment commander in 3 years. If his performance was better, he would be promoted to a full regiment commander in 1 or 2 years.
Qiao Ting's luck was too good! The regiment commander sighed in his heart. Right now, it was the time when every division focused on nurturing the younger generation of leaders. As long as they were nurtured well, they could ensure that the division's outstanding legacy would be passed down from generation to generation and not be left behind by the other divisions. If Qiao Ting had been born 10 years earlier or 10 years later, he probably wouldn't have had such a good opportunity.
"Thank you, regiment commander!" Qiao Ting saluted gratefully. Although he had been treated coldly by the other at the start, in the following few years, the other had really treated him very well. Whether intentionally or not, the nurturing had also benefited him greatly.
If he hadn't known that Ling Lan had also entered the division, perhaps Qiao Ting would have been willing to wait another 3 years and become the regiment commander of a normal mecha clan in one go. But now, Ling Lan's existence was giving Qiao Ting a lot of pressure. He was afraid that if he waited another 3 years, he might be left behind by the other.
Although, logically, he thought that this was impossible, Ling Lan was too monstrous. He couldn't judge her with a normal mindset. It was this thought that made him return decisively. He was confident that if he was given a year's time, he would definitely be able to shake off the 'deputy' title and become a true regiment commander of a mecha clan.
Just as the regiment commander was about to let Qiao Ting leave, his wrist suddenly vibrated. He looked down and was stunned by the message on his wrist.
"Qiao Ting, before you leave, can you help me do something?" The regiment commander asked with a serious expression.
Qiao Ting was stunned. He quickly replied, "Regiment commander, please tell me. As long as I can do it, I will do it." Qiao Ting was still cautious.
"The list of the top 10 mecha clans for this land clearing mission has been released. The higher-ups asked us to gather information about a mecha clan when these mecha clans move into Soldier City," the regiment commander said with a frown. If Major General Jiang wasn't from the Third Marshal's faction, he wouldn't want to take on such a difficult and unrewarding mission. Did they really think that the stationed division was just a bunch of menial people who could throw everything to them?
"What mecha clan?" Qiao Ting was shocked. The top 10 mecha clans for every land clearing mission were all famous veteran mecha clans. They were not to be trifled with. He didn't want to get into trouble without getting anything.
"250 Ace Mecha Clan from the 23rd division." When the regiment commander said this name, he had a puzzled expression on his face. This was because in the history of the top 10 mecha clans for land clearing missions, there had never been a normal mecha clan.
Only those with common sense would know that only normal mecha clans had numbers as their names. Although the 23rd division had only been established for five years and most of the mecha clans had numbers as their names, in these five years, there had been titled mecha clans in the 23rd division. Those titled mecha clans should be able to defeat this normal mecha clan, right?
Qiao Ting heard this and was also puzzled. However, when he heard the name 23rd division, his heart skipped a beat. He remembered that Ling Lan went to the 23rd division.
"This is the list of the top 10 mecha clans. Now, there are only the names of the mecha clans and regiment commanders. I think you will have to think of a way to get the rest of the information. Okay, I will ask Xiao Yang and the others to help you. They have been your subordinates for the past three years. It will be easy for you to order them around. " The regiment commander sent the list of the top 10 mecha clans to Qiao Ting. At the same time, he also gave Qiao Ting some manpower. Since he wanted the horses to run, he should at least give them some rations.
Qiao Ting felt a vibration on his wrist. He lowered his head and looked at the list of names seriously.
The regiment commander seemed to have thought of something and reminded him, "The higher-ups asked us to gather all the information before the award ceremony. Oh right, Qiao Ting, let me give you a hint. The higher-ups think that there is something fishy about 250 Ace Mecha Clan. Someone is controlling everything. They hope that we can find out what is fishy about 250 Ace Mecha Clan. We must not let them succeed."
The regiment commander couldn't help but pout. It was obvious who he was referring to. He suddenly remembered that Major General Jiang and General Ling Xiao were from the same generation. He instantly understood what was going on.
As expected, no matter how high one's position was, they would still be jealous. However, would Major General Jiang really succeed? General Ling Xiao … even if he really did something, he wouldn't leave any evidence for them to use against him. Major General Jiang, I'm afraid you're going to waste your time again. You're really stupid.
The regiment commander was just about to curse Major General Jiang in his heart when he realized that Qiao Ting didn't reply to him. He raised his head in confusion and saw Qiao Ting looking at his communicator in shock. He seemed to be shocked by something.
"Qiao Ting?" The regiment commander shouted in confusion.
"Ah? Regiment commander! "Qiao Ting seemed to have woken up. He hurriedly raised his head and replied," Sorry, I was distracted. "
