The expressions of the members of Group 7 in the barracks froze for a moment, as if they were awakened by the thunderous cheers outside the walls. They no longer cared about Supervisor Xu Le, who had his head slightly lowered, nor did they have the time to pay attention to the big shots not far away. They raised the guns in their hands high up in the air and roared in excitement. They screamed and jumped around randomly. No one was crazy enough to fire a shot into the sky, but countless military caps flew into the gloomy sky today.
The troops outside the walls were all equipped with advanced equipment from the Harbor City Guard District and the First Military Region. When they heard General Miles announce that the Federation was officially reorganizing the legendary 17th Division, they knew that they were going to be part of the legendary troops of the Federation. Of course, they were incomparably excited. Compared to these tens of thousands of soldiers, Group 7 inside the walls seemed to have more reason to be excited and proud.
The old members of Group 7 in the nutshell were basically all from the 17th Division. Bai Yulan, who had joined when she was young, had personally experienced the final glory and sorrow of the 17th Division before it was disbanded. As for the new members of Group 7, they were originally the popinjays of the Harbor City Garrison Guard District. They came from Unit 8384, and no matter how this unit had humiliated and infuriated the seniors of the Seventeenth Division over the past few years, the blood in their veins still retained the traces of this legendary majestic division, and their bodies were branded with the mark of the Seventeenth Division.
The 17th Division was the only field unit that the Federation's God of War, Li Pifu, had served in in his entire life. This mighty army had slaughtered its way into the Gary Corridor three times, forcefully attacking the heart of the Empire, and had never tasted a single defeat in more than a hundred bloody battles. It had the most glorious history of the Federal Army, and had made countless contributions to the Federation.
Xu Le didn't need anyone to remind him. Like countless other male Federation citizens, he could recite the battle history of this legendary army like the back of his hand. However, in his bones, he was still that calm engineer. In addition, he had joined the army halfway, so he hadn't received the training of the army. He wasn't an old member of the 17th Division, so it was difficult for him to understand the emotions of the countless soldiers inside and outside the walls, as well as the countless generals on and off the platform.
He looked at the tears and excitement in the eyes of the young and old soldiers. He could understand, but it was difficult for him to fully immerse himself in it. Instead, a faint sense of frustration appeared in his heart. The Federation reorganizing the 17th Division, on one hand, was to give instructions to the old man, but on the other hand, it was to send a strong message to the entire universe. That was that, the Federal forces would definitely be like the 17th Division in the end and obtain the final victory in the end in the end!
But what did this have to do with him? The moment this thought appeared, it was instantly shattered. Xu Le's lips curled into a bitter smile.
The God of War, who was as tall and dangerous as a snowy mountain, had personally rescued him from Allure Prison and allowed him to enter the training base as an instructor. Lan Xiaolong had left the garrison area of the port city, reformed Group 7, and urgently recruited soldiers from Unit 8384 on the frontlines. All of this had been foreshadowed long ago. His career on the battlefield was bound to be closely linked to the most famous 17th Division of the Federation.
Xu Le was thinking. No one laughed, and no one paid attention.
The members in the barracks were so excited that their faces were slightly red. The big shots of the Federal Army were filled with emotions. Everyone was completely focused on everything that was happening on the platform.
Director Breen read the congratulatory letter personally written by President Pabre. In the letter, the President passionately reviewed the glorious achievements of the 17th Division in the past battles. Using a sincere and sincere tone, he used seventeen imposing sentences to look forward to the great future that would happen in the vast universe. He encouraged all the soldiers of the 17th Division and all the troops of the Federation that participated in the battle to inherit the God of War's heroic spirit when the Federation was in dire straits …
The last person to give a speech on the stage was the CEO of Nutshell. It was already surprising that the biggest entrepreneur in the Federation would participate in the rebuilding of the most legendary troop of the Federation. In his passionate speech, it was even more puzzling that the focus of his speech was on Nutshell Group 7. He praised the outstanding performance of the members of Group 7 on Planet 5460 and Planet 163, firmly believing that they did not embarrass the 17th Division and Nutshell. He also expressed that he would continue to support the righteous cause of the Federal Army …
The film crews of the most important TV stations in the Federation had already entered the barracks. They wanted to use the fastest speed to broadcast this major event that would definitely greatly increase the morale of the Federation.
These reporters with extremely sensitive news senses, after witnessing the excitement of history, calmly captured some very interesting clues from the location chosen by the Federation for the announcement and the conversation between the CEO of Nutshell.
After the three episodes of the documentary were broadcasted on the Federation's news channel, Nutshell Group 7 had already become the most famous combat team in the hearts of the Federation's citizens. Because of the small number of people and the distinct facial features of the members, they were even more popular than the Iron Seven Division.
But in the eyes of the reporters, the one with the most news value, the one who was able to link the Seventeenth Division and the Seventh Division together, was naturally that … Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le.
As Nutshell Group CEO's speech ended, countless cameras quickly moved away from the stage. Among the densely packed soldiers in the barracks, they quickly searched for the young lieutenant colonel's figure. Meanwhile, the reporters held the microphones in their hands, ready to rush over at any moment.
At this time, Xu Le's mood was still a little uncertain. He was analyzing what kind of role the president, or rather the old man in Philadelphia, would want him to play in the new 17th Division. He was completely unaware of everything that was happening in the barracks.
Suddenly, someone beside him handed him a pair of sunglasses.
Xu Le was slightly taken aback, but he immediately reacted. He put the sunglasses on his nose bridge, covering half of his face, and sincerely said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. I followed you to the front line, washed the bullets, and worked for a few months, but I still couldn't get a picture of your face without sunglasses … To be precise, you didn't let me take a picture. If that's the case, why should I let my colleagues take a picture? " The reporter from the Gold Star Documentary Studio looked at the disappointed colleagues in the distance and said sarcastically.
"Are all the people in the news industry as ruthless as you?" Xu Le said, "But Bai Zeming, you have to remember, before I give you permission, you still can't take a picture of my face without sunglasses."
"Your whole family is the news industry, I'm the documentary director and narrator!" Bai Zeming waved his hand in annoyance, then said, "But in the future, you'll have to show your face in front of the entire Federation … I only hope that you'll leave your first chance to me."
"No problem." Xu Le smiled.
"Actually, I didn't like you before, because you were quite kind to everyone, but when you looked at the two of us, you'd always have a deadpan expression."
Bai Zeming shrugged and said, "But now that I think back on the past few months, I really feel that it was worth it, even though it was tough."
He turned his head to look at Xu Le and said seriously, "When I think about how I might be able to follow by the side of the youngest commander in the history of the Federation for so long, and as the commander of the 17th Division at that, I'm excited, I'm proud!"
Xu Le was speechless. He thought to himself that if the President really agreed to let a guy who wasn't even 23 years old become the commander of the 17th Division, not to mention how shocked the entire Federation would be, the First Lady would probably immediately suggest that her husband go see a psychiatrist.
…
…
The Federation really did carry out the reorganization swiftly and decisively. The new 17th Division's combat decision-making structure and the appointment of officers quickly unfolded in the unassuming barracks of Group 7. There was an endless stream of officers walking into the barracks with excited expressions, receiving their appointment certificates, and saluting in all directions with their trembling right hands. What made Xu Le feel incomparably complicated was that he was very familiar with quite a few of these officers.
The appointment of the senior military officers was also officially announced. Xu Le was not surprised to find that the commander was not himself, but rather a gentle-looking middle-aged major general whom he had never seen before. The appointments of the staff and various department heads were also quickly completed. Among them, Xu Le heard quite a few familiar names.
He Lei, Lin Ai, Misereu, Hua Xiaosi … a quarter of the military officer cadets from the training base were selected by the Ministry of Defense from their respective units and assigned to the new 17th Division. These people had all been Xu Le's students and had once sung military songs together in the Majestic Clubhouse. They thought that they would only meet again on the battlefield, but who knew that they would meet again today?
Lieutenant Colonel He Lei took on the glorious role of regiment commander of the first regiment. Hua Xiaosi took on the role of captain of the MX Mecha Brigade specially formed by the new 17th Division. Lin Ai and Gu Xifeng from the academic faction were in charge of the electronic reaction team. Misereu, who came from the Federal Fleet, took on the role of liaison officer for the new 17th Division with some grievance. Meanwhile, the rest of the cadets also took on important positions.
They were different from the mid-level officers trained by the Federation. Nutshell Team 7 was officially incorporated into the Federal military structure. Other than Magnolia and a few core members, the rest of the members were all scattered and assigned to basic positions in the new 70th Division. Most of them took on positions that did not need to be announced at this time, but a few were officially appointed as company commanders.
Even Ning He, a member of Old Team 7, who was originally in the command ship outside planet 163, was transferred to the staff department of the new 17th Division as a confidential staff officer.
Nutshell's Whitewater Team 7 was, without a doubt, the most ferocious and terrifying mercenary team in the Federation in recent years. And they were able to do this because the old members were all from the most powerful 17th Division of the Federation. No matter which battlefield they were on, the training they had received and the sense of honor they bore made them use cold-blooded mission reports to continue the glorious tradition of the 17th Division.
And now, the 17th Division was being reorganized from scratch. Team 7 began to provide feedback, providing the new division with countless basic officers and the fighting spirit of the old 17th Division that they had always silently protected.
Finally, Xu Le heard his name and his newest position. The technical director of the 17th Division? He raised his head with some surprise, silently thinking back to the military history of the Federation. Had there ever been such a strange position? If the military was not the Nutshell Engineering Department, what was the technical director for?
The flashing lights illuminated the black sunglasses on the bridge of his nose. The newspaper reporters were still not satisfied, but were rudely pushed aside by the cameramen of the television station. Countless cameras surrounded him and began to rapidly and excitedly ask him questions.
Xu Le did not hear the reporters' questions clearly. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Bai Zeming and said seriously, "I said before, I can't be a division commander."
Bai Zeming looked at him and said with a strange tone, "But everyone knows that this is your division."
