Yang Mingzhi coughed and opened his mouth. “Team 01. Number of qualified ace mecha masters, 22. Everyone is in good condition. They can go for war anytime.” As a veteran, Yang Mingzhi knew why Ling Lan called for this meeting. After reorganizing the mecha clan for one year, it was time for the mecha operators to go on the battlefield. That was the only way they could know how if these mecha operators were back to their old form.
Ling Lan’s gaze landed on Liu Furong. Liu Furong said in a loud voice, “Team 02. Number of qualified ace mecha masters, 21. We can go for war anytime too.”
After the other eight team leaders reported the situation of their teams in order, Ling Lan tapped on the table lightly in a fluid rhythm while in deep thought. The ten team leaders didn’t dare to say anything. They waited silently for their regiment commander to make a final decision.
Finally, Ling Lan made her decision. She stood up and placed her hand on the table. She tilted her head downwards and looked at the ten team leaders. “Order!”
All the ten team leaders stood up immediately to receive their orders.
“We will officially start preparing for war!”
“Yes, regiment commander!” The ten team members received the order and quickly returned to the teams. They passed this order to their team members.
Soon, the entire 250 Ace Mecha Clan started working towards a shared objective. As the head of the Logistics Department, Lin Zhong-qing and his four deputies started worrying about their lack of manpower again. They looked at everyone who was furiously working. Lin Zhong-qing clenched his fist tightly. ‘The next time I meet Boss, I must ask him for more people! Damn it!’
The heavy workload finally caused the calm and patient Lin Zhong-qing to explode in anger.
At the headquarters of the 23rd division, He Xuyang had a cup of hot tea in his hand as he sat in his office. He smiled and lazily looked at the list of rewards they got due to their performance on Planet Azure. He was the one in charge of this mission so he knew how much benefits General Ling Xiao asked from the military. The continuous good performance of the 23rd division caused the military to change their attitude towards them. They no longer ordered them around like a boss ordering around his teenage part-time worker. Whenever the military came to talk to him, they would speak nicely to him now.
Young Master Lan played an important role in helping the 23rd division to gain its current status. The military was definitely paying more attention to him now as the two greatest achievements were achieved by Young Master Lan. ‘As expected of General Ling Xiao’s son. General Ling Xiao is a bug in the system and his son is a bug in the system too.’
He Xuyang remembered a few weeks ago when the entire Federation was elated over a 25 years soldier who managed to advance to the domain stage. They didn’t know that their Young Master Lan had reached the standard of a titled domain realm master. He Xuyang calculated with his fingers. Young Master Lan must have achieved the domain stage when he was just 20 years old. He was much stronger and better than those talents in the Flying Dragon Special Forces.
As General Ling Xiao’s adviser and confidant, he knew some secrets of the Federation, which the Federation didn’t even know of.
He Xuyang was in a good mood. Suddenly, a young deputy second lieutenant who was in charge of collecting information knocked on his door carefully. He came to report his work.
“Chief of staff, the list for the first season of application for entering the battlefield is out.” The deputy greeted He Xuyang before reporting his work.
He Xuyang always wore a smile on his face and had a warm attitude. He seemed easy to talk to but everyone knew that he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The person in this position before him made a minor mistake and got sent to the grass-roots units. This young second lieutenant had just came for his first day of work so he didn’t know what his superior was like but the rumors he heard were enough to strike fear in his heart.
He Xuyang was in a good mood so even if this second lieutenant appeared too timid for his likings, he still didn’t get angry. He just nodded and said, “Continue.”
“Yes, chief of staff. There are 27 mecha clans who applied to go on the battlefield. The detailed list is as such: Wuying Ace Mecha Clan from East First Corps, Qingyang Ace Mecha Clan from East Second Corps, White Wolf Ace Mecha Clan from East Second Corps...”
He Xuyang listened attentively to what the second lieutenant said. He raised his teacup slowly and took a sip of the hot tea. It was relaxing to have some hot tea in such a beautiful afternoon.
“... 250 Ace Mecha Clan from Middle Second Corps...”
“Pfft~” He Xuyang spat his tea out. He put down the teacup abruptly and he didn’t even bother to wipe the mess on the table. He asked hurriedly, “What did you say just now?”
The second lieutenant was stunned by his superior’s reaction, he was shocked. “What.. did I say just now?” ‘Sob, did I make a mistake just now? What should I do? The chief of staff is scaring me.’
“Fine, let me look at the documents myself.” He Xuyang saw his subordinate’s fearful expression and felt a little helpless. He asked the second lieutenant to pass the documents to him. ‘This second lieutenant just graduated from the military academy so I shouldn’t frighten him too much. As expected, my Young Master Lan is unique’.
The second lieutenant quickly passed the documents over. When he saw He Xuyang waving his hand, asking him to leave, he immediately rushed out of the office like a rabbit that got scared. He went back to his office table and heaved a sigh of relief.
The colleague beside him saw his expression and asked curiously, “Jiang Li, what happened?”
Jiang Li’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. He said in a frightened tone, “Chief of staff is so scary!” ‘Sob, is he able to report his work to the chief of staff properly next time?’
“Really?” The new workers gasped. The senior workers were much calmer. ‘If their chief of staff was easy to deal with, would they have to hire new people all the time?’ Those workers that left had all reached their limit of tolerating chief of staff. They couldn’t handle it anymore so they sent in an application to request to be transferred out of the headquarters and be sent to the grass-roots units.
However, their chief of staff still treated those capable people very well. Those officers that went to the grass-roots units became an adviser of a mecha clan or sat in a position that had real power. All in all, there were some regrets but most left happily. It was a fresh start for them.
He Xuyang flipped through the documents. His new deputy was timid but he did his job well. The list was segregated into sections and every information could be seen clearly. He Xuyang quickly found the Middle Second Corps and saw the 250 Ace Mecha Clan written under it.
“What is he doing!”
