The Federation didn't allow the aristocratic families to control the military. Unless the aristocratic families had great achievements, they wouldn't be able to get a position in the military. No matter how high their military rank was, they would only be able to get a position in the military. The aristocratic families wouldn't be able to get a position in the military. At most, they would be able to get a position in the military.
After Li Shiyu said that, all the officers in the command center looked at Du Mingyi in shock. Although the competition between the aristocratic families and the military wasn't made public yet, those who had been in the military for a long time would be able to notice some of the things that were going on. They understood what the Du family was trying to do. They secretly sent their direct descendants to ordinary families to be adopted. It seemed like they were cutting ties with the aristocratic families. However, these direct descendants were secretly taught by the Du family members. Even after they grew up, they would still be loyal to the Du family.
However, the price of doing this was that their starting point would be very low. They would have to start from an ordinary soldier. They wouldn't be like the aristocratic families who started from a junior officer. Similarly, it might only take the sons of aristocratic families 10 years to become senior colonels, but it would take them 20 or even 30 years to become senior colonels. This was already the result of the aristocratic families secretly working hard. For example, Du Mingyi took almost three times as long as the sons of aristocratic families. It took him 28 years to become a senior colonel and become the commanding officer of a base with real power.
Was it worth it to exchange time for real power? Perhaps, even the Du family members themselves didn't know.
Du Mingyi was furious. Once this information was leaked to the higher-ups, the Federation's military would definitely not give him any more important tasks. Even if his military rank wouldn't be deducted because of his military achievements, it would be impossible for him to get any real power. If that was really the case, wouldn't his 28 years of sacrifice be in vain? Thinking about this, Du Mingyi's eyes were filled with killing intent. He had to get rid of these people who knew about this. Luckily, the other party had surrounded the command center. This gave him a good reason to kill them. It was normal for people to die in a mutiny.
He waved his hand and a figure suddenly pounced towards Li Shiyu from a dark corner.
"Bang!"
Li Shiyu raised his fist without hesitation. The two fists collided violently and made a dull sound.
Everyone in the command center was sent flying by the force of the two waves of energy. Many of them smashed into the walls and bounced back to the ground, spitting out blood. These civilian soldiers had average physical skills to begin with. In the face of the shockwaves from the battle between two super strong experts, they could not withstand it and were injured one after another.
Li Shiyu looked at Du Mingyi who was standing at the side. His eyes were filled with killing intent. He knew that Du Mingyi wouldn't even let his subordinates off. Li Shiyu's eyes flashed coldly. A terrifying aura appeared in the hall. The space around him started to distort.
"Domain!" Du Mingyi and the senior captain were shocked. They didn't expect this insignificant Li Shiyu to be a domain realm master. As long as he was a domain realm master, his military rank would be a senior colonel and not a mere major.
Du Mingyi frowned. He felt that things were getting troublesome. Who was this 250 Ace Mecha Clan? How could a mere military doctor be so powerful? It should be known that military doctors belonged to the logisticians. Their physical skills were also the weakest. No matter how outstanding a military doctor was, if his physical skills could enter the refinement stage, he would be considered outstanding. Furthermore, this person was a domain realm master. If he was so talented in physical skills, who would be willing to let him become a military doctor? Wouldn't it be a waste of talent?
Of course, only Du Mingyi and the other senior officers were confused. The other members of 250 Ace Mecha Clan who surrounded the command center knew that this person in front of them was not Doctor Li. He was one of the ten team leaders, Li Lanfeng. However, they didn't expect Big Leader Li's physical skills to be at the domain realm.
This reminded them of their cold regiment commander. Their regiment commander's aura was much stronger than Big Leader Li's. Did this mean that their regiment commander was also a domain realm master? Furthermore, he wasn't just a normal domain realm master. He might be a titled domain realm master! Thinking of this possibility, everyone got excited. There was nothing more exciting than knowing that their commanding officer was a powerful domain realm master.
At that moment, countless black lines suddenly appeared in the distorted space around Li Lanfeng. Those black lines quickly wrapped around the officers in the command center. Then, with a shake, those officers were thrown out of the command center. They were caught by the members of 250 Ace Mecha Clan who were outside the command center.
When Du Mingyi noticed Li Lanfeng's actions, he wanted to go forward and stop him. However, Li Lanfeng glared at him coldly. Du Mingyi's heart skipped a beat and he stopped in his tracks.
This time, Li Lanfeng successfully got rid of all the people who were in his way.
Li Lanfeng raised his right hand. A black scythe slowly formed in his hand. The senior captain and Du Mingyi's eyes turned serious. They were on full alert.
Right at that moment, Li Lanfeng suddenly gave an order. "Everyone, retreat 30 meters."
Li Lanfeng estimated the range of the shockwaves from his fight with his opponent. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control the situation and hurt his own people. If that happened, he wouldn't be able to answer to Ling Lan when he returned.
The people from 250 Ace Mecha Clan quickly retreated. At the same time, they didn't forget to bring the officers who were thrown out by Big Leader Li.
Li Lanfeng saw that there were no more worries. He then looked at the senior captain who was looking at him coldly. He said, "You should be the guard sent by the Du family to protect Du Mingyi." The Du family spent a lot of effort to arrange this so they wouldn't let anything happen to Du Mingyi.
"You know about the matters of the aristocratic families. I think I know who you are." The senior captain's eyes flashed with understanding.
Li Lanfeng raised his eyebrows. He waited for the senior captain's answer.
"The only person with the surname Li is the super aristocratic family. I didn't expect the Li family to let you go to the 23rd division instead of the 4th division. It seems like they have some sort of agreement with Ling Xiao …" The senior captain could only think this way. Li Shiyu was probably a super genius groomed by the Li family. This was the only way to explain how a small military doctor could have such strong physical skills.
Li Lanfeng shook his finger. "No, no, no. I didn't come to the 23rd division because of General Ling Xiao. I can only say that I'm impressed by my regiment commander's charisma. I'm willing to do anything for him."
He was like that. As for Li Shiyu and Li Yingjie, no one knew if they were like that.
"We're all sons of the aristocratic families. You know that it's not easy for the aristocratic families to survive in the military. Why don't you work together instead of exposing us?" The senior captain was furious.
"Aristocratic families? What does it have to do with me? Why do I have to expose you? It's your fault for offending someone you shouldn't have offended. " Li Lanfeng's eyes turned cold. He looked gentle and amiable. However, he was a cold-blooded person. He could make use of anyone except for Ling Lan. He knew that she was his weakness but he still allowed himself to be greedy. He wanted to get more from her, more and more …
Li Lanfeng didn't know what he wanted to get. He only knew that he was like a glutton now. As long as Ling Lan gave him something, he wanted it. He didn't want to give anything to anyone else.
Thus, Li Lanfeng didn't want to give Du Mingyi, who had offended Ling Lan, a way out. He forced Du Mingyi into a corner. From the start, he didn't want to give Du Mingyi a chance to live.
This was Li Lanfeng. He was vicious and ruthless!
