A small, streamlined, and intricate void ship sailed out of the flagship and landed in the floating city under everyone's gaze, slowly descending on the central platform.
At the same time, his grandfather and the patriarch of the Zhang family arrived at the entrance of the aircraft at a seemingly unhurried but actually extremely fast speed. When a light blue cold air spurted out of the cabin door, the cabin door branded with the military logo opened, and two guards wearing high-grade military armor walked out.
Field officers were qualified to be stationed in a region, and they were actually high-ranking officers. They were qualified to be accompanied by guards, but it was just a matter of how many guards they had.
Generals were called chiefs. As long as they had a military rank with real power, they were all big shots of a region, such as ruling over an entire universe within the crystal wall.
Lin Xiao might only be a colonel, but he was treated like a brigadier general, so he was also called chief.
Moreover, he was an elite, which was actually a major rank higher than regular military ranks, equivalent to a regular high-star general.
The military's upper echelons were basically all elite ranks, and almost everyone above the division commander rank was an elite.
It wasn't that regular military ranks didn't have a chance to be in high positions, but the military prioritized elite ranks when promoting important military positions, and regular military ranks could also be promoted to elite ranks once they performed great functions.
In other words, those who could hold high positions, even if they weren't elite military ranks, would generally be promoted to elite military ranks as long as they could perform meritorious deeds. This was the reason why high-ranking big shots were all elite military ranks. Wasn't that the case?
Sun Chenhua was a regular lieutenant colonel. His rank was five ranks lower than Lin Xiao's. This was also one of the reasons why he was so humble.
After the row of guards walked out, everyone muttered inwardly that something wasn't quite right.
"A mere captain of a fleet doesn't have such high standards, does he?"
The Zhang family head and Lin Youde's grandfather looked at each other, seeing the doubt in each other's eyes.
"Could there really be big shots coming?"
Regardless, the warship was real, and the soldiers were real. No matter who it was, they just had to welcome them.
With that in mind, everyone continued to look expectantly at the few figures who walked out of the cabin door.
There were a total of five figures, and it was obvious that four of them were clustered around one in the center. When the cold mist dissipated, the five figures appeared before everyone, and it was obvious that someone recognized them, revealing an extremely surprised expression.
Grandfather and Patriarch Zhang stepped forward almost at the same time. They couldn't wait to introduce themselves before their old rivals.
"Your Excellency Commander Sun's visit to the Hea Plane is a great honor to the Lin Family. I am Lin Youde, the head of the Lin Family. I warmly welcome Your Excellency Commander Sun."
These words …
Lin Xiao reached out and touched his forehead. He felt goosebumps on his forehead.
Lin Xu's expression was also a little strange.
However, he could understand. For him, who was still in the ivory tower of high school, hearing such flattery would make him feel disgusted. But for the real society outside the ivory tower, it was necessary.
Maybe you don't want to say it, and maybe others don't want to hear it, but as long as you want to live, there are some things you have to force yourself to do.
Even if you don't say it, the Zhang Clan's Patriarch will immediately say it.
There was a saying that the leader might not remember you greeting him every morning, but he would remember who didn't greet him.
You can't stay in the ivory tower forever. Eventually, you'll have to step out of society. When the time comes … you'll have to hear these words often!
Lin Xiao was now an Elite Senior Colonel and held a high position. He would probably hear such words often. He had to get used to it.
Commander Sun's gaze swept across everyone present. He paused for a moment on Lin Xiao. His gaze fell on the two hands in front of him. He forced a smile and reached out to shake Lin Youde's hand.
Grandfather's smile widened. Patriarch Zhang's smile stiffened, but he still forced a bright smile.
After shaking hands, he was escorted to the rostrum on the other side. The juniors of the Zhang and Lin Families gathered around. Commander Sun looked at them with his hands in front of him and said, "I'm on a routine patrol.
I happened to hear about the bet between the Lin Family and the Zhang Family in the Hea Plane. I'm interested, so I came to watch. I wonder if you mind. "
"We don't mind, we don't mind."
Everyone waved their hands. This time, it was Patriarch Zhang who spoke first.
"It's the Zhang Family's honor to have Commander Sun officiate for us. We can't wait to welcome you. Why would we mind?"
When grandfather heard his old rival's words, he quickly added.
"Our Lin Family has wanted to invite Commander Sun for a long time, but we were afraid of disturbing Commander Sun, so we had to give up."
He had a look of pity and helplessness. If Lin Xiao didn't know that his family couldn't get in touch with Commander Sun, he probably would have thought that it was true.
He was indeed a smart person. He knew what he was talking about.
Commander Sun chuckled and waved his hand.
"Patriarch Lin, you're wrong. You can come to me if you have something interesting like this next time."
？？？？
It was full of question marks. Not only was Patriarch Zhang stunned, but even grandfather was stunned. This wasn't the script. He tried again.
"Commander Sun, what are you doing?"
Sun Chenhua smiled.
"Patriarch Lin, you can come to me if you have something like this next time. I happen to be interested in this."
Patriarch Zhang's expression changed immediately. His eldest son's anxious voice sounded in his ears.
"Father, something's wrong. How did Lin Youde get in touch with Commander Sun?"
He frowned and thought carefully. He raised his eyes and glanced at his old rival and Commander Sun.
"No, the old man didn't get in touch with Commander Sun."
"Then why would Commander Sun …"
"Commander Sun took the initiative to show his goodwill to the old man!"
"How is this possible?"
"Yes, how is this possible?"
He was puzzled, but this was not the time to think. He quickly said to Commander Sun, "Commander Sun, this is what I like about Commander Sun.
"It turns out that Commander Sun likes this. What a coincidence. Today is the day when the Zhang Family and the Lin Family will fight. Why don't Commander Sun be the notary and notarize this fight?"
"Father, isn't Commander Sun showing his goodwill to the old man? Why do we need him to be the notary? Isn't this disadvantageous to us? "
Patriarch Zhang reprimanded.
"Idiot, Commander Sun needs to consider his identity as a notary and doesn't dare to be too biased. We still have a chance. If Captain Li continues to be the notary, he doesn't need to care about his identity and face. He only needs to follow the orders of his superior. It will be difficult for us to win if he is biased."
At this time, Lin Youde, who was surprised and puzzled, was racking his brains to imagine how his family had gotten in touch with Commander Sun. When he heard his old rival's words, he immediately understood. But after thinking for a while, he didn't know what to say.
Just now, Commander Sun showed inexplicable kindness, and he also said that he was interested in this gambling fight. He couldn't object now.
However, to everyone's surprise, Commander Sun refused Patriarch Zhang's proposal. He waved his hand and said,
"Since you have already invited the Captain of the Seventh Action Fleet to notarize this gambling fight, how can I go beyond my authority? This time, the Captain of the Seventh Action Fleet will be the one to officiate."
Patriarch Zhang's face darkened, and Lin Youde was happy. Their expressions were completely opposite.
But just like his grandfather didn't dare to say it, Patriarch Zhang didn't dare to persuade him to do it. He could only keep it in his heart.
The expressions of the Zhang family and the Lin family were the same as their respective patriarchs. Some were happy, and some were depressed.
Patriarch Zhang Yan of the Zhang family returned to his platform expressionlessly. His sons surrounded him, and the eldest son said in a low voice,
"Father, don't worry. We are stronger than them as a whole. Even if Captain Li is completely biased towards the Lin family, it's still a fifty-fifty chance. Let the few clansmen who are going to fight cheer up. Even if it's really like Tianji's horse racing situation, as long as the other three clansmen except Tai Hua and Ze Cheng win one round, we will win this gambling fight."
"Besides, Captain Li may not be completely biased towards them. I will contact Captain Li now, even if it costs …"
He suddenly looked back at the few people behind Commander Sun who was talking and laughing with Patriarch Lin, and said in surprise,
"Where is Captain Li? Why don't I see him? "
When he said that, the others also realized something and looked around.
Patriarch Zhang Yan of the Zhang family had a bad premonition in his heart. He hurriedly shouted to Commander Sun,
"Commander Sun, where is Captain Li?"
Commander Sun showed a look of realization, clapped his hands and said,
"There's one thing I forgot to tell you. Captain Li has been transferred back to the sub-base. Now the Captain of the Seventh Action Fleet is someone else. My other purpose of coming here this time is to announce the inauguration letter."
He suddenly waved in a certain direction and shouted kindly,
"Captain Lin Xiao, please come here."
Everyone looked in the direction he waved and fell on the surprised Lin Xiao.
"Me?"
He pointed at his nose and was quite surprised. This was really surprising. He was still thinking about what method Commander Sun would use to help the Lin family cheat. He didn't expect it to be this.
Someone pushed him from behind. His grandfather was surprised and pleasantly surprised. He waved his hand and a gentle and invisible force brought him over. He looked left and right at his grandson, then at Lieutenant Colonel Sun, and asked in disbelief and doubt, "What's the matter?
"Commander Sun, are you talking about my grandson Lin Xiao?"
Commander Sun smiled and nodded,
"Of course it's Captain Lin Xiao."
At the same time, he secretly sent a voice transmission to Lin Xiao's ears,
"Sir, what do you think of this arrangement? You will be the notary and set the rules of this gambling fight. "
"This arrangement is too weird …"
It was completely out of his expectations.
But then again, this arrangement was indeed good. It perfectly solved his problem, and he could also show off.
At least now, whether it was the Lin family or the Zhang family, they all looked at him with their mouths wide open as if they had seen a ghost. His mother even widened her big blue eyes and looked confused as if she didn't understand what was going on. After a long while, she held her husband's hand and asked,
"When did our son become a Captain?"
Lin Haolin's mentality was better. He quickly digested this shocking news, but it didn't mean he could understand it. He also didn't know what was going on.
Although the people of the Lin family were shocked, it was good news for them. To the Zhang family, Lin Zhongxiao's words were like a bolt from the blue. After a short moment of shock, someone shouted, "Brother Lin, Brother Lin!
"How is this possible!"
"What's impossible about this!"
Lin Xiao didn't hesitate to agree with Commander Sun.
