Du Shaoqing was thirty-seven years old this year. After he graduated from the First Military Academy, he was directly recruited by the Department of Defense and transferred to the Third Military Region. He requested to enter the Seventh Mechanic Division and become the commander of the division's independent battalion.
S3 had always been located on the side of the capital ring. It enjoyed the wealth of the Federation and was far away from the flames of war and political struggles. Its people were simple and peaceful, and it gradually became a Star System that was ignored by the people of the Federation.
The Seventh Mechanic Division, which was stationed in the capital of the administrative planet of S3, was naturally ignored and almost forgotten by the people because they were disliked by the upper echelons of the military.
However, just one year after Du Shaoqing officially entered the Seventh Mechanic Division, in a routine military exercise organized by the Third Military Region of the Federation, the Seventh Mechanic Division that had been silent for a long time suddenly shone brightly!
In more than a month of comprehensive military exercises, the Seventh Mechanic Division gave the headquarters of the Third Military Region a huge surprise. Mobility test, quick reaction ability, automatic digital combat ability … There were a total of seventeen test indicators, and the Seventh Mechanic Division actually obtained first place in fifteen of them, obtaining an uncontested and overwhelming victory!
At that time, the unit that represented the Seventh Mechanic Division in the comprehensive military exercise was the independent battalion led by Du Shaoqing.
…
…
After this battle, it was as if the dust on the 7th Division had been washed away by someone. With strict discipline, daunting and arduous training, and the explosive advancement of the commanders at all levels, the 7th Division had become an intimidating steel fighting machine. After that, in three consecutive military exercises, the Seventh Mechanic Division obtained consecutive victories easily and silently, shocking the entire Third Military Region. Even the Department of Defense expressed concern.
After that, the Seventh Mechanic Division began to represent the Third Military Region to participate in large-scale military exercises organized by the Federation. Whether it was the interplanetary support landing battle or the deep strike battle, the Seventh Mechanic Division displayed their incomparable combat ability, crushing their brothers and sisters like dry weeds.
Other than these large-scale military exercises, the soldiers that the Seventh Mechanic Division sent to participate in the Federation's small-scale training, military camp competitions, and anti-terrorism exercises would always obtain victory coldly.
Ever since Du Shaoqing came to the 7th Mechanic Division, the division had always gotten first place in every Federal military assessment that they participated in. They had never gotten second place once!
The Federal military was as strong as a forest. It was not difficult to get first place in so many exercises. However, if they got first place every time, it could only mean that the training level of the division and the commanding ability of the commander were excellent to the extreme.
During the drill, the Iron Seven Division displayed incomparably strict military discipline and incomparably powerful combat ability. The Federal military watched in shock as the Seventh Mechanic revealed his brilliance and approached the name of the Iron Seventh Division step by step. As for the rest of the troops, they watched this scene with vigilance, unease, and admiration.
Getting first place in thirty-seven military exercises in a row had firmly engraved the name of the Iron Seventh Division in the Federal military's honor book. No one knew if there would be a division that could do this in the future, but in the past tens of thousands of years of history, there had never been a division that had been able to win like the Iron Seventh Division for eight years!
The Third Military Region, which did not have a very high position in the Federal military, no longer cared about the questionable Battle 5460 and the bad impression that the military had of the Seventh Mechanic Division. Based on the achievements of the Iron Seventh Division, the Third Military Region did not hesitate to treat the Seventh Mechanic Division as their trump card. Whether it was equipment or honor, the Seventh Mechanic Division gave them everything they had.
During these continuous maneuvers, the Seventh Mechanic Division truly gained the reputation of the Iron Seventh Division. Du Shaoqing also rose from a battalion commander to a regiment commander. Finally, at the age of thirty-three, he became the youngest division commander in the history of the Federation. He even broke Li Pifu's record!
No one had any doubts about this.
Although the Iron Seventh Division had never shown its sharp fangs at the front line of the West Woods to this day and had never obtained any real military exploits. But when the Iron Seventh Division was mentioned, the trump card troops of the various military regions who had encountered the division in maneuvers would think of the Iron Seventh Division in the mountains and on the mineral planets. It was as condensed as a fist, scattered like a gust of wind, roaring and howling. It was an iron-blooded division with a cold steel will in its strict and solemn demeanor!
These trump card troops were really frightened by the Iron Seventh Division in many maneuvers. They absolutely believed that if a division like the Iron Seventh Division was sent to the front line, it would be easy for them to achieve their own great military exploits. And Du Shaoqing, who had personally trained this kind of division … of course, he was qualified, and only he was qualified to be the commander of such a division.
…
…
Xu Le held his empty wine glass and narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. He thought about how Du Shaoqing was able to turn a division that had been deliberately abandoned by the military into a well-disciplined and terrifyingly well-trained Iron Seventh Division. He led this division to achieve such a fierce military exploits. He was really not an ordinary person. He could really be said to be extremely talented and had extraordinary perseverance. Or maybe he was just like Li Pifu, a peerless military genius. If he was remembered by such a person, it would not be very good news.
When Lan Xiaolong was telling these stories, a few people were sitting around the table. The combat personnel of Iron Seventh Division did not toast to Xu Le. Instead, they brought their lunch boxes to the table, which seemed to indicate some kind of attitude.
Xiong Linquan frowned and looked at Xu Le. He suddenly said, "I know that the Iron Seventh Division is very fierce, but Du Shaoqing is just one person. He wants to become the second Army God? He doesn't even know if the Empire will agree. If he really has the ability, he should take the initiative to go fight a few battles in the West Woods. "
Over the past year, the seniors of Iron Seventh Division had heard a lot about Xu Le's achievements from Bai Yulan. They found it hard to believe, but after seeing it with their own eyes in the training base, it had a certain impact on their minds. They knew very well that in the years to come, Xu Le would always be the supervisor of Iron Seventh Division. They would be Xu Le's men. Although they still could not say that they were very close to Xu Le right now, when they saw him worrying about the Iron Seventh Division, they subconsciously mocked him a little. After all, in front of outsiders, they had always been on Xu Le's side.
The Iron Seventh Division had been dazzling and imposing in the military all these years because of a series of achievements. However, they did not have a reputation in the Federation. It was precisely because of this that the Iron Seventh Division's biggest problem was that they had never been to the frontlines in the West Woods. Therefore, Xiong Linquan's question was tantamount to directly asking a question about the Iron Seventh Division's most vital part.
The soldiers of the Federation valued honor above all else. The five officers of the Iron Seventh Division who had been silently eating in the distance heard Xiong Linquan's question. A hint of anger flashed across their cold faces.
One of the officers suddenly stood up and angrily rebuked Xu Le's table. "My division commander has written a letter in blood requesting to fight 103 times. Who dares to say that my division doesn't dare to fight?"
Hearing this powerful and resonant sentence, the people at Xu Le's table fell silent. Xiong Linquan opened his mouth, but in the end, he did not retort. After all, this involved the most important issue of a division's reputation. Instead, it was Lan Xiaolong who said with a smile, "Don't tell me that the soldiers under Division Commander Du are all like your two colleagues who were carried away? From the looks of it, Division Commander Du is just so-so. "
The officer who had stood up to debate for the Iron Seven Division had a frosty expression on his face as he said in a cold voice, "Division Commander Shaoqing graduated first from the First Affiliated High School of the Capital First Affiliated High School, entered the First Military Academy first, and graduated first from the First Military Academy first... a member of the Federation's Trinity Association, the youngest division commander in the Federation. If this is all there is to it, then who can bring it out to compare?"
This officer's voice was very cold, but there was a hint of fanaticism in it. The indifference was directed at Xu Le's table, but the fanaticism showed the admiration and reverence that the Iron Seventh Division officers had for this division commander.
The best high school in the Federation was the Capital University Affiliated High School, and the most difficult school to get into was the First Military Academy. The Federation had a population of more than ten billion, and these two most prestigious schools had gathered countless geniuses and elites. Previously, when this officer repeated Du Shaoqing's resume, this division commander had actually gotten first place three times in a row!
According to the simple life before the catastrophe depicted in the movies, this kind of excellent result was equivalent to getting first place in the three examinations, which was extremely rare. The Trinity Association's history was exactly like this. Until today, there were only a dozen members of the Federation's Trinity Association, and most of them were already old men.
It was no wonder that when this officer talked about his teacher, his back was ramrod straight and his face was full of pride.
Hearing this, Xu Le's table was shocked into silence, thinking that Du Shaoqing's resume was really a mess. Even Lan Xiaolong's lips curled into a cold smile, but he didn't say anything, because he really couldn't find a loophole to attack this impeccable division commander.
Xu Le was also shocked, but what surprised him was the Iron Seventh Division officers' fanatical reverence and worship for their division commander. Based on his rough understanding, he always felt that this kind of situation in the military wasn't a good thing.
The Iron Seventh Division officers' eyes were as cold as ice, but this kind of calm that was about to freeze represented their pride and glory. Although they didn't show any contempt or disdain, they made the people standing opposite them feel a sense of pressure and displeasure.
Xu Le had drunk a lot tonight, so he was a little excited. Feeling the coldness and disdain of the Iron Seventh Division officers, he shook his head and said, "I happen to know two people who are qualified to enter the Trinity Association. One of them is now a secretary, and the other one … is in prison. "
He smiled, looked up at the officer, and said, "So this doesn't mean anything. I think your Division Commander Du doesn't want you to talk about his childhood every day."
The officer's expression stiffened, and when he was about to say something, Xu Le said seriously, "If you don't believe me, you can ask around and see if I'm lying."
The two people he was talking about were Secretary Shen Li and Shi Qinghai from the Back Mountain of Mochou. One was the person in charge of the Tai family, and the other was the person who had manipulated the presidential election and assassinated Macklin. It was not a disgrace to Du Shaoqing's status as a teacher. However, he only said that one was a secretary, and the other was in prison. This made the people of the Iron Seven Division very angry …
The five Iron Seventh Division officers realized that Instructor Xu didn't seem to be lying. After a moment of silence, they saluted and left the busy cafeteria.
Xu Le looked at the five officers, who didn't fit in with the surrounding environment, and couldn't help but frown. Lan Xiaolong asked, "Is what you said true?"
Xu Le paused for a moment before he realized that he was asking about Secretary Shen and Mr. Shi. He smiled and said, "Of course it's true. I rarely lie."
