The battle on Planet Haijiao not only affected all the citizens of the Federation, it also caused a huge commotion in the United Nations. Other than the allies of the Federation, all the other countries criticized the Federation for going against the Human Alliance and using god-class mechas.
Of course, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Federation wasn't just for show. Since ancient times, the Chinese had never lost in arguments. This time, it was the same. Not only did they use the loopholes in the Human United Declaration to refute strongly, they also used the evidence they had on Hailiya to prove that Hailiya was the one who broke the Human United Declaration. If not, god-class mechas wouldn't appear on the battlefield. After all, operating a god-class mecha above one's level would cause death.
The ace mechas of the Federation were all treasures of the Federation. How could they bear to let them sacrifice themselves to operate a god-class mecha? If it wasn't for Hailiya breaking the rules, the mecha operators of the Federation had no choice but to step forward and use their lives to protect their base and their comrades.
The diplomats from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs spoke with deep emotion. When they were sad, they even shed a few tears to add to the sense of tragedy. Their performance, which could be said to be at the level of a movie king, stunned the other countries. All the attacks were rebutted one by one by them.
In any case, the Federation felt that everything was Hailiya's fault. They had to teach Hailiya a lesson or else the Federation wouldn't let this matter rest.
In the international community, the Federation had always been criticized by hostile countries as a * * * *. In other words, the Federation would never admit that it was wrong. Even if it was wrong, it was because someone else had done it first and forced it to do so.
At the United Nations, it was a war of words. If it wasn't for the fact that they wanted to maintain their image as diplomats, they might even start a fight. But even so, it was normal for them to slam tables and smash things. If they accidentally embarrass a diplomat from Hailiya … Sorry, it was a slip of the hand!
What? Do you have any objections? Well, you can try throwing one too …
It had to be said that the Federation's diplomats were obviously better than the diplomats of the other countries in terms of accuracy. This was all thanks to the education provided by the Federation. After ten years of being a scout, even if they didn't go to military school or join the army in the future, they would still be better than the civil officials of the other countries in terms of skills.
On Planet Haijiao, Qi Yaoyang had finished resting. He led the reinforcements and started their counterattack against Hailiya.
The activation of the satellite allowed Little Four to sneak into the various bases of Hailiya. When the Federation launched their attack, they interfered with the mainframe, causing the commands of the mainframe to be delayed by half a second.
Don't underestimate the blink of an eye. It could cause the protective shield to be unable to replenish its energy. Its energy would be depleted in an instant and it would be destroyed by the powerful firepower of the Federation.
As the mainframe was damaged too quickly, Hailiya's side didn't notice Little Four's little trick. They only thought that the Federation's firepower was stronger than their protective shield, which was why it was destroyed in an instant.
As more and more bases were destroyed by the Federation, the command center at the frontline of Hailiya thought that Qi Yaoyang might have brought some powerful secret weapon from the Federation. (Even god-class mechas were produced. How could they lack such a secret weapon?) They had no choice but to retreat as they fought. They focused on building a few large bases at the back of the frontline. They were prepared to retreat there and fight with the Federation.
In Base 013, other than the mecha clans that needed to stay behind, all the mecha clans followed Qi Yaoyang into battle, including 250 Ace Mecha Clan.
250 Ace Mecha Clan sent out all their mecha clans. Other than Li Lanfeng, who was left behind by Ling Lan, all the other mecha clans were chased out by Ling Lan. This included the logisticians, Lin Zhong-qing, and the others. Ling Lan wouldn't let the people from 250 Ace Mecha Clan miss such a good opportunity to gain military merits.
As for the team leader of team 08, Zilong took over the role temporarily. Zilong's team 03 was almost completely destroyed so he didn't have time to rebuild it. Thus, he was able to take over Li Lanfeng's role.
After Li Lanfeng settled some matters in the base as usual, he went to Ling Lan's treatment room.
With the help of her father's spiritual power, Ling Lan was able to stay awake longer and longer. However, Ling Lan, Li Lanfeng, and Ling Lan all felt that Ling Lan's injuries couldn't get any worse. If not, the consequences would be unimaginable. If that happened, even General Ling Xiao might not be able to protect them. Thus, to the public, Ling Lan was still in a deep sleep in the treatment room. She didn't show any signs of getting better.
Before Li Shiyu left the base, he used the Ling family's formula to refine the Nuwa agent. He successfully refined the second generation of the Nuwa agent. Half of it was given to Ling Lan. A small portion was mixed into the recovery agent to heal Ling Lan's body.
Didn't they say that they had used up all the Nuwa agent? Why was there still some left? This was also Ling Lan's reward for being kind. In order to leave behind a life-saving medicine for the members of the various battle clans, she had diluted a bottle of Nuwa agent and distributed it to each of the team leaders. Other than Han Jijyun who had used some to save the team members who were at the back, the other team leaders had kept the bottle with them. When they heard that their regiment commander's injuries were serious, they all took out the bottle of Nuwa agent and gave it to Li Shiyu. Li Shiyu was elated.
After obtaining the recovery agent from the Ling family, he decided to refine it into a new level. Coincidentally, he managed to refine the second generation of the Nuwa agent. Its effects were better than the first generation of the Nuwa agent.
After doing all this, Li Shiyu reluctantly left with 250 Ace Mecha Clan. At the same time, he brought the unwilling Luo Chao and Han Xuya with him.
In the military, if a female officer wanted to be promoted, she would need to prove her ability with more outstanding military achievements than a male officer. She had to climb up step by step.
Ling Lan didn't want Luo Chao and Han Xuya to live under someone else's protection for the rest of their lives. In her eyes, these two little sisters were as capable as those men. Thus, she didn't want them to miss out on such a good opportunity to take care of her.
Li Lanfeng came to Ling Lan's treatment room and used his domain to inspect the room. When he felt that there was nothing wrong with the room, he knocked on Ling Lan's treatment pod lightly.
This was the secret signal he had agreed to with Ling Lan. Unless he came, Ling Lan would remain unconscious.
Of course, Ling Lan didn't tell Li Lanfeng that it didn't matter if they used the secret signal or not. Even if she was unconscious, the situation of the entire base, including the battle on Planet Haijiao, would be under her control. With Little Four, no one would have the chance to spy on her.
Thus, the moment Li Lanfeng entered the treatment room, Little Four got excited and reminded Ling Lan that Li Lanfeng was looking for her.
At first, Little Four still had some opinions about Li Lanfeng. But now, when he saw Li Lanfeng, it was as if he saw his savior. His impression of Li Lanfeng increased rapidly.
Even Ling Lan felt happy when she saw Li Lanfeng. Her admiration for Li Lanfeng also reached a new height.
Why did Little Four and Ling Lan get so excited and happy when Li Lanfeng came? Cough, cough, I have to start from the beginning.
It turned out that Ling Lan, who had her father's spiritual power replenishment, was awake for longer and longer periods. She started counting sheep in the treatment pod out of boredom. At this moment, a few instructors from the learning space who had been waiting for an opportunity to capture Ling Lan decisively brought her in.
This time, there were a total of three instructors teaching her! Ling Lan still felt a little dizzy because these three instructors looked exactly the same. They introduced themselves as triplets. They were Instructor Number Six, Instructor Number Seven, and Instructor Number Eight.
The three instructors taught different things. They taught business, politics, and military. One taught business, one taught politics, and one taught military.
The first one was Instructor Number Six. He scolded Ling Lan the moment he saw her. He was very dissatisfied with some of the big decisions she made in Base 013. For example, when they retreated after stealing the supplies, they could have split up and hid in the base. They could have found a chance to return to the base in the future. However, they just had to gather together and return to the base. Lady Luck must have protected them for being able to return safely.
Also, in Instructor Number Six's eyes, piloting a god-class mecha was something only an idiot would do. An excellent commander must know how to make a choice. Sacrifices were unavoidable. However, they would never put themselves in danger before they were truly in a desperate situation. This was a taboo.
Ling Lan was stunned by Instructor Number Six's scolding. Just like that, right after she received the military knowledge that Instructor Number Six had given her, she was taken away by Instructor Number Seven to learn how to build a perfect base. The various methods he used in politics made Ling Lan stunned. Only then did she realize that the things she did in the past were not child's play. Before Ling Lan could finish learning, she was dragged away by Instructor Number Eight, who was waiting impatiently for her to analyze the various investments Little Four had made in the past few years and the pros and cons of the businesses.
Every day, Ling Lan would wake up dizzily. Then, she would be bombarded with questions by the three instructors. After that, she would fall asleep again. Only then did Ling Lan realise that the classes she had found difficult in the past all seemed so simple and easy now. Meanwhile, the classes of the three instructors were truly terrifying.
However, Ling Lan was not the only one suffering. Little Four was also suffering at the same time. When she was being taught by Instructor Number Eight, Ling Lan would drag Little Four along to listen. This was because all these things were caused by Little Four. What right did she have to suffer while the main culprit could get away scot-free?
Because these investments were all made by Little Four, Instructor Number Eight did not stop Little Four from listening. He already had a lot of opinions about Little Four's messy investments to begin with. Little Four's appearance gave him the perfect opportunity to reprimand Little Four.
Thus, every time Instructor Number Eight finished her lesson, she would see the two of them, one big and one small, holding their heads in their hands, their eyes wide open. Alright, the two of them didn't have much talent in business, so it was really hard for them to learn this.
And when Li Lanfeng came in, he was attending the most difficult business class of all, Instructor Number Eight's business class. Little Four, who was suffering in agony, saw Li Lanfeng come in and was overjoyed. His saviour had come! He shouted in surprise, "Boss, Little Li is here!"
Little Li was now the name Little Four used for Li Lanfeng. Of course, the source of this name came from that dumb Little White who was currently perched on Li Lanfeng's shoulder. When it was communicating mentally with Ling Lan and complaining about Li Lanfeng's atrocities, it had used the name Little Li. Little Four could share Ling Lan's mental connection, and thus knew about this name. He felt that it suited Li Lanfeng very well, so he decisively used it. Poor Li Lanfeng, unbeknownst to him, had already had this not-so-nice name forcefully pressed onto his head by some two dumb and adorable creatures.
"Ah, Instructor Number Eight, Li Lanfeng must have something important to discuss with me. How about we end today's class here?" Ling Lan looked at Instructor Number Eight with sparkling eyes, full of energy. She was completely different from her half-dead appearance just now.
Instructor Number Eight felt his teeth itching, but when he saw Ling Lan's glowing face, he could not refuse. In the end, he could only say helplessly, "Alright, we'll end today. We'll continue tomorrow."
"Thank you, Instructor Number Eight!" Ling Lan had just finished speaking when she retreated from Instructor Number Eight's space. She did not forget to grab Little Four who had gone through thick and thin with her as she fled.
Before Instructor Number Eight could say anything else, Ling Lan and Little Four had already disappeared without a trace.
"Could it be that I really can't find a successor for everything I've learned in my life?" Instructor Number Eight asked dejectedly.
"No matter. Ling Lan's learning ability is super strong. Even if she doesn't have the talent, as long as she is taught a few times, she will still be able to grasp a thing or two." A voice suddenly rang out in the space.
Right beside Instructor Number Eight, two people who looked exactly like him appeared. When the three of them stood together, it was impossible to tell who was who. The only difference was that Number Six was wearing the red military uniform of the Mandora Star System, Number Seven was wearing a purple formal suit, and Number Eight was wearing a long white robe.
"That's right, Number Eight. We may lack everything, but we don't lack time …" Number Seven chimed in.
"That's all we can do." Instructor Number Eight pulled himself together. Luckily, he had another student, Majesty Four. Although Majesty Four was not very good, he was still better than Majesty Four. His talent in business was still much better than Ling Lan's.
"However, since Ling Lan has the desire to compete for hegemony, she will accept the content of our teachings." Number Six knew very well that Ling Lan's slow acceptance of this knowledge was partly due to her talent, but more importantly, it was because Ling Lan herself resisted this knowledge.
"Reality is not giving Ling Lan enough pressure!" Number Seven also knew this. Although Ling Lan had encountered many difficulties on this battlefield and seemed to be on the brink of death, she was still very confident in her heart. She believed in her father, believed that the Federation would have reinforcements, and believed that they would be able to return alive.
She had yet to truly understand what it meant to be surrounded by enemies, and what it meant to be abandoned by everyone! As long as she did not reach that moment, she would not understand that only by controlling one's own fate would one be a true powerhouse. Otherwise, no matter how strong one was, they would only be a chess piece on the chessboard of fate.
After successfully escaping, Ling Lan opened her eyes. She saw that Li Lanfeng had already opened the protective shield of the healing pod and was looking at her intently.
"What's the matter?" Ling Lan raised her eyebrows coldly. She would not tell him the truth. She was waiting for him to come and save her.
Li Lanfeng glanced at Ling Lan. He finally gritted his teeth and was ready to ask the question that he had been hesitating about for a long time.
"Why is there that Ling family motto?"
