Chapter 1069 - Order for Reassignment!
Chapter 1069 Order for Reassignment!
Although Qi Long’s actions seemed rude and unreasonable, all of his papers were all prepared. Therefore, the department of division affairs had to withstand this blatant disrespect, unless they were prepared to fight Qi Long for it and report him for breaking the rules of the military. However, any person with a brain wouldn’t do something like that.
Qi Long taking soldiers was formally allowed by the department of division affairs. With the support of the higher-ups being behind him, if things were to get hairy, it might not be beneficial for them to argue with Qi Long. In addition, Qi Long’s identity was also a big bargaining chip which made them fear him. Plus, Qi Long didn’t didn’t overdo things and only took a few individuals with potential. In the end, the department of division affairs could only swallow their anger and quietly reassign soldiers from other military corps to replenish their numbers.
Qi Long had completed his task and was now heading back to Ling Lan.
In the unused prep department, Chief Yan Zheng was very excited after he heard Ling Lan saying that she would be allowing all the soldiers to be assessed. The look he sent towards Qiu Yang no longer had any blame, instead there was an indescribable glee. He didn’t think that Qiu Yang’s words would actually give these soldiers in the unused prep department a chance to be assessed.
Yan Zheng felt like the unused prep department was struck by a mountain of gold. Even if Ling Lan did not recruit too many of his soldiers, as long as he marketed these soldiers as people who were once invited to be assessed by 250 Ace Mecha Clan, he believed that countless other clans would be interested in them. All in all, as long as people came to him, Yan Zheng was confident that he could use his words and his wits to sell these soldiers to prospective clans.
After all the talk, Yan Zheng still didn’t believe that 250 Ace Mecha Clan, who only took in top-class mecha operators and outstanding logistics personnel, would take all of these mixture of good and bad soldiers. Thus, he was only thinking that he was graced by 250 Ace Mecha Clan.
“Chief Yan, I will have to trouble you to organize the soldiers here to go to 250 Ace Mecha Clan to participate in the assessment,” Ling Lan said as she turned towards Yan Zheng.
Ling Lan’s words made Yan Zheng awaken from his blissful dream. He immediately replied, “Understood, Regiment Commander Ling. I will take all 2754 soldiers from here to 250 Ace Mecha Clan to participate in the assessment.”
Even if these soldiers didn’t want to go, he would use a whip to force them to go! Yan Zheng clenched his fists and made a decision. He wasn’t going to allow even one soldier to miss out in this once in a lifetime opportunity.
“Boss Huo! Something bad happened.” At that moment, in New Recruit Corps, a young man rushed into the dormitories of their corps.
A young man was lying on the bottom bunk of a bunk-bed with his eyes closed. After hearing his comrade calling out for him, he opened his eyes slowly. “What’s wrong, Fengming?”
“I just received word that this year’s new recruits from military academies were all taken by all the big clans.” The person who ran in said this, then immediately picked up a cup of water on the table and took big gulps of it. It seemed that once he heard this information, he immediately ran here.
“So?” Even after hearing this, the young man’s expression was still calm, as if he had just heard a news unrelated to him.
“So, our New Recruit Corps has no new recruits. If so, what are us instructors here doing?” Said the person angrily.
Ever since they returned from Planet Haijiao, they were assigned to the New Recruit Corps to wait for recruits. Although this assignment was to let them rest and have a change of pace, it had already been 5 months since then and the long wait had already made them frustrated. They had finally managed to wait for the expected time for the new recruits to arrive, but was now they were actually told that the new recruits were all taken away. Was the military playing them for fools?
It turns out these people was Huo Zhenyu and Nie Fengming’s team. Their clan was almost wiped out, leaving only 9 people left in their team. Originally, they should have been reassigned to a new clan, but they were not sure why they were temporarily sent to the New Recruit Corps to become the instructors for this year’s new recruits.
“The military headquarters will make arrangements for us.” Compared to Nie Fengming’s anxiousness, Huo Zhenyu was more calm and collected.
“How much longer? I’ve already waited for 5 months,” Nie Fengming said depressingly.
Right as Huo Zhenyu was about to speak, his wrist suddenly began to vibrate. He looked down and saw that it a call was from the headquarters.
Huo Zhenyu immediately sat straight up and pushed down on the connect button. A virtual screen appeared in front of him and a beautiful female second lieutenant appeared in front of him.
“Hello, Major Huo,” the female second lieutenant said with a smile.
Huo Zhenyu had a serious expression on his face and replied in all seriousness, “Hello, second lieutenant.”
Despite the rank of the female second lieutenant being quite low, Huo Zhenyu still didn’t dare to be negligent in his showing of professionalism. That was because she was a clerk at the main headquarters and was mainly responsible for giving out any type of orders from the headquarters.
“The headquarters has now given you new assignments. You are ordered to immediately report to your new clan! The reassignment certificate to the clan has already been sent to you, please confirm,” the second lieutenant said with a constant smile on her face.
“Understood.” Huo Zhenyu saw the new file that was sent over and saved it.
Seeing him receive the reassignment certificate, the second lieutenant said her goodbyes to Huo Zhenyu.
After the virtual screen disappeared, Nie Fengming, who was holding in all of his emotions, could no longer sit still. He excitedly jumped up and shouted in excitement, “That’s great, Boss Huo. We finally have a clan again.”
A mecha operator without a clan was like a homeless mecha operator. No matter where they went, they wouldn’t have a sense of belonging. They were just like that in the New Recruit Corps, like a passerby who couldn’t find where they belonged.
Huo Zhenyu, who kept a serious expression on his face all this time, showed a small smirk. They could finally enter a clan but which mecha clan were they going to enter, they were about to find out.
Huo Zhenyu opened the certificate for reassignment and was stunned.
Nie Fengming saw that Huo Zhenyu’s frozen expression and was scared for a moment. Could it be the new clan had problems? He anxiously called out, “Boss Huo, what’s wrong? Is there something wrong with the clan we’re going to?”
Huo Zhenyu raised his head, revealing an odd look on his face. He then said, “It’s not that there’s any problems. It’s just I think… it’s somewhat not as I thought.”
“What kind of clan is it?” Huo Zhenyu’s weird expression made Nie Fengming even more curious. He unconsciously drank another sip of water.
Huo Zhenyu slowly said three numbers, “2, 5, o!”
“Ugh!” Nie Fengming spat out the water in his mouth. “Cough, cough, Boss Huo, what did you just say?”
“250 Ace Mecha Clan!” Huo Zhenyu had now returned to his calm and collected demeanor and slowly reiterated what he said. “It’s the 250 Ace Mecha Clan that you know.”
“Ling Lan.” Nie Fengming also calmed down after sipping more water out of his cup. “I didn’t expect that we would go to his mecha clan.”
“Although his position as regiment commander was removed for a long time, I still find it weird. I always felt that 250 Ace Mecha Clan has always belonged to Ling Lan.” Huo Zhenyu always had this thought in the back of his head. How could those ace operators who looked down on others obey someone else that easily? The person who could lead them could only be Ling Lan who could give them new life.
“I also think so too. Back then, that person led the freshmen and overpowered our people. He is not someone who would take a fall that easily. Plus, he’s that person’s son,” Nie Fengming said with a smirk.
Ever since he knew that Ling Lan was his idol’s son, his anger towards Ling Lan for injuring him back in the day was instantly washed away. Afterwards, Ling Lan used her own power to protect Base 013 and held onto the last hope for the Federation. Her series of valiant actions turned his hatred toward her into appreciation.
