868 Ling Xiao's Son! (Baby class Jade Annulus of He Clan +)
"That's impossible!" The Third Marshal exclaimed.
The First Marshal and the Third Marshal's expressions changed at the same time. Ling Xiao's words made them extremely shocked. There were some imperial operators in Long Xiang who managed to become imperial operators at the age of 21. However, Long Xiang gathered all the resources of the Federation and used all sorts of secret techniques to achieve this result. However, because of this, not a single god-class operator was born in Long Xiang. This showed that even though the secret techniques were good, there was a huge side effect. It would exhaust the potential of these talented mecha operators and make them unable to reach the top.
However, Ling Xiao wasn't talking about someone who could surpass him. This meant that Ling Xiao felt that his son had a high chance of becoming a god-class operator in the future. If that was the case, the Federation's military would have to save this god-class operator no matter how many sacrifices they had to make. The three marshals knew what a god-class operator meant to the Federation.
"Wait, I remember that there was a conclusion from the research center. It said that the son of a god-class operator would never be able to become an imperial operator …" The Third Marshal finally voiced out his doubts.
At that moment, the reporters in the conference hall were just excited when Ling Xiao announced that there was a 21-year-old imperial operator on Planet Haijiao. However, they were stunned by the Third Marshal's question.
"Did the Third Marshal say that he's the son of a god-class operator?" Wen Qilian grabbed a reporter she didn't know and shouted excitedly.
"Yes, yes …" That reporter nodded excitedly too. His body started trembling uncontrollably.
"Ling Xiao's son!" All the reporters had the same answer in their minds. This was a huge piece of news that was enough to shock the entire Federation. If Ling Lan was lucky enough to become a god-class operator, it would be a new record for both father and son to become a god-class operator.
On the screen, Ling Xiao said proudly to the Third Marshal, "It was impossible in the past but it doesn't mean it's impossible now. It doesn't mean it's impossible in the future!"
"My son Ling Lan was able to advance to imperial operator. This proves that the results of the research are wrong. Then, how can you be sure that the results of the battle on Planet Haijiao and the future direction of the battle are correct? How can you determine the life and death of 280 million soldiers with just one piece of information? I, Ling Xiao, refuse to accept this! "Ling Xiao retaliated against the Third Marshal.
Ling Xiao's words proved that Ling Lan was the son of Ling Xiao. All the female reporters were so excited that they covered their mouths. It turned out that the son of Prince Charming was also Prince Charming! The words "I, Ling Xiao, refuse to accept this" also ignited the passion in the hearts of the male reporters. The entire conference room was in an uproar.
Ling Xiao's provocation caused the Third Marshal's face to turn pale. One of the generals under him quickly said, "Even if Ling Lan is an imperial operator, how can an imperial operator and a few hundred top-class mecha operators last for more than three weeks?"
Once this sentence was said, all the reporters in the conference room were furious. Just like what General Ling Xiao said, they couldn't prove that they couldn't do it. What if a miracle really happened and they really lasted for more than three weeks?
Ling Xiao instantly stood up straight after hearing this. He had a confident smile on his face. He said firmly, "Just because he's my son, he will definitely be able to create this miracle."
"Haha, Ling Xiao, you're too arrogant. Just because you said that he's Ling Xiao's son, you want to risk the lives of a few hundred million soldiers? If your son doesn't last for more than three weeks and a few hundred million soldiers die on Planet Haijiao, how are you going to take responsibility? " He was also a general under the Third Marshal's faction. Just like Ling Xiao, he was also a general. Just because he was old and experienced, he directly questioned Ling Xiao.
"Since I, Ling Xiao, dared to say this, I dare to take responsibility. If my son, Ling Lan, can't last for more than three weeks and a few hundred million soldiers die because of this, then I, Ling Xiao, will resign from my position as the general of the 23rd division. I will be stripped of my rank as a general!" Ling Xiao slammed the table and shouted angrily.
"Ling Xiao!" The First Marshal quickly shouted, "Don't be rash!"
"Marshal! When I was promoted to the general of the 23rd division, I was filled with fear and trepidation. I once asked you how to be a qualified general. At that time, you only gave me four words. 'Love your soldiers as if they were your children'. " Ling Xiao's eyes were red as he said agitatedly, "I've always tried my best to do this. Ling Lan is my son and also my subordinate. If I can heartlessly give up on my own son, then this' love my soldiers as if they were my children 'will be a joke. Loving my soldiers as if they were my children will result in me abandoning them!"
"Hence, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, I, Ling Xiao, will never give up on a single soldier in my army. For this, even if I have to bet everything I have, I will still do it!"
"General Ling Xiao is a sincere and honest person. He doesn't hide his feelings for his subordinates. I believe that he will definitely be able to live up to the words' love his soldiers as if they were his children '." Wen Qilian, who had always been strong, couldn't control her tears anymore. She was used to seeing how the generals would heartlessly sacrifice a portion of their soldiers for a so-called victory. Now, Ling Xiao appeared. He wasn't so rational, calm, and didn't look like a general. However, he deeply touched the hearts of all the reporters. They felt that it was really good for General Ling Xiao to become a general.
Ling Xiao's words made all the generals fall silent. Back then, when they became generals, they were also told these words. When did they forget it? Or perhaps, they never remembered it?
At that moment, Qi Yaoyang, who had been silent all this while, coughed. He looked at the Third Marshal apologetically and then said, "Just now, I kept telling myself that I have to consider the big picture and not talk about personal matters. However, General Ling Xiao's words touched me. My unfilial son wanted to go to the 23rd Division with his captain, who he grew up with. Although this made me very angry, no matter how unfilial my son is, he is still my son. This time, he is trapped on Planet Haijiao with his captain, Ling Lan … As his father, I can't give up on him. I also want to be a general who loves his soldiers as if they were his children."
Ling Xiao heard this and sneered, "Lieutenant General Qi, what's wrong with joining the 23rd Division?"
Qi Yaoyang sneered as well. He said unhappily, "Then why can't you let your son join the 13th Division?" Why did he still have the right to kidnap his son?
The two of them glared at each other. In the end, they both sneered and stopped fighting. After all, they were on the same side now. They would put down their grudges and cooperate for once.
Ling Xiao's words touched the First Marshal's heart. He turned to look at the Second Marshal and asked, "Old Song, what do you think?"
