It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future

Chapter 1077 - A New Beginning!

Chapter 1077 A New Beginning!

One week quickly passed by.

Inside 250 Ace Mecha Clan, whether it was mecha operators or logisticians, they were all busy and were all so exhausted to the brink of death.

The few training grounds that were originally empty, were activated because of the new soldiers. Most of the mecha operators and logisticians from 250 Ace Mecha Clan were on these training grounds and crazily training the new recruits...

Han Xuya and Luo Chao, who was originally 250 Ace Mecha Clan’s only two females soldiers, became training instructors. Putting aside Han Xuya’s terrible temper, even the soft and sympathetic Luo Chao had become a ruthless instructor because of the time constraints they were under. The two of them were responsible for training all the female new recruits in the logistics department.

Lady Mei and her group had arrived at 250 Ace Mecha Clan three days ago. Before they could bask in excitement, they were sent to the training grounds and were given Han Xuya and Luo Chao’s training regimen.

In the beginning, these new recruits thought this regimen would be finished in no time, after all, new recruits needed to get past this regimen to enter the clan, so how tough could it be. However, after starting the training regimen, they quickly understood that this wasn’t some typical training regimen. It was inescapable training regimen from hell that could make them cry, swear, and wish they were dead.

“250 Ace Mecha Clan doesn’t need crybabies. Since you chose to join, then you must complete the training.” Seeing the usual kind and sympathetic Luo Chao also speak to them coldly, many of the female soldiers were suspecting whether it was actually Lieutenant Colonel Luo Lang in disguise.

However, the reason they were able to endure the training was because Major Han Xuya and Major Luo Chao trained alongside with them. This made many of the female soldiers feel that their pride was on the line. If the two female majors could do the training, then they could do it as well. Of course, reality was brutal. They would usually fall down in the middle of training. Only a few could actually finish the training regimen with the two majors.

In the few who finished, Lady Mei was present. The difference between Lady Mei and the other female soldiers was that most of the female soldiers hated this terrifying hellish training while Lady Mei enjoyed it. She felt that if she could complete this training regimen, she would definitely be able to become strong. That way she would be able to get closer to Major Han, whom she admired.

Thinking up to this point, Lady Mei’s eyes shined brightly. She looked towards the front of the group, at the slim silhouette leading them forward. One day, she would be standing beside her, fight alongside her and become one of her most trusted comrades.

Today was 250 Ace Mecha Clan’s weekly leader and department head meeting. Each leader and department heads had arrived in the conference room long ago.

However, today’s conference wasn’t like the usual conferences they had before. In today’s conference, all the leaders and all the department heads had brought their deputies.

Suddenly, the large door opened automatically. Ling Lan, who was wearing the uniform of a major general, walked in.

She didn’t have a mask on and she didn’t have any bandages on her face, showing her scarred face to everyone. The difference between now and when she was disguised as Little Yang, was that the scars were more severe when she was disguised as Little Yang. Now, it was clear that the scars had lightened up. Other than a few larger scars that could still be easily seen, the other scars had become light touches on her face.

“Regiment commander,” everyone stood up and shouted respectfully.

Ling Lan walked to her seat and said plainly, “Sit.”

“Yes, regiment commander!” Everyone sat down.

“What’s the current situation with the clan?” Ling Lan looked towards everyone and asked.

Everyone looked towards Team 01’s team leader, Major General Yang Mingzhi. No matter if it was military rank or the rank in terms of mecha teams, Yang Mingzhi was the first person below Ling Lan.

Yang Mingzhi spoke up, “Regiment commander, my team is mostly responsible for Evil Wind’s training, and the situation with them is very good. Other than a few members who haven’t passed the training standards, the others have already gotten a passing grade,” Yang Mingzhi told Ling Lan some good news first.

“However, the 30 soldiers who Big Leader Li sent us only had 7 soldiers passing the lowest level training standards. The other 23 individuals didn’t pass even the lowest training level... If we were to train them to pass the lowest level, it would not be possible without two months of intense training,” Yang Mingzhi then continued with some not so good news.

Hearing this, Li Lanfeng frowned slightly. He didn’t think that the percentage of individuals passing the lowest training level was that low. It seemed the soldiers from the unused prep department had been lazing around for far too long. Their physical conditions were not maintained at their past peaks and had already dropped below the standard requirements of a mecha operator.

Seeing Yang Mingzhi finish his reports, Liu Furong continued, “Our Team 02, 03 and 04 cooperated and trained the cadets, who Leader Luo and Leader Xie had brought, and the soldiers, who Leader Qi and Leader Han had brought from the main corps...”

“Currently, the passing rate is only 21.77%.” Liu Furong looked at the report in his hand and smiled bitterly. “This is also the lowest level requirement. There’s probably not even 1% in the second level, no need to mention the higher levels. Even if we give them two to three months... the answer would still be zero percent for the upper levels.”

Only leader level individuals could pass the highest level... Even if the new recruits were talented, they wouldn’t be able to get up to that level in a short time span of 2 months.

“Leader Liu, aren’t you expecting too much from them...” Li Yingjie looked at Liu Furong with a dissatisfied look on his face. Even he had just recently passed the highest level after almost dying multiple times because of it. If there was someone who could pass it in 2 months, then why would they need Li Yingjie for?

Seeing his pouting expression, Liu Furong laughed silently. “Sorry, Little Leader Li. It’s just that I saw so many new recruits and they were outstanding cadets from all the military academies. I wanted to see if there were any upcoming talents who could become future leaders...”

Whether a mecha clan had a future would depend on whether these next generation individuals were exceptional enough and whether they had potential to succeed them. As a somewhat senior leader, Liu Furong automatically entered into the mode of finding someone to take over his place.

“We’re not in a hurry with matter of succession and the 21% passing rate... isn’t low,” Ling Lan said without a thought in her mind. “It seems this year’s new recruits has great potential.”

Hearing this, Qi Long instantly laughed out loud and said, “Regiment commander, most of the cadets this year are from the First Men’s Military Academy. We’re also very familiar with their leader.”

Luo Lang, Xie Yi and the others smirked, especially Xie Yi, who was making faces and said, “Regiment commander, it’s your loyal subject.”

Li Lanfeng frowned slightly. Loyal subject? What was Xie Yi trying to say? When Li Lanfeng left the academy, Ling Yi hadn’t arrived yet. That was why Li Lanfeng didn’t know about the existence of Ling Yi.

Ling Lan raised one of her eyebrows in confusion. Loyal subject? Who was that?

Suddenly, she had a thought. “Ling Yi?”

Rabbit actually knew that person’s name? Li Lanfeng’s heart trembled and his expression darkened. Knowing Ling Lan, he knew that the people who Ling Lan remembered were people she kept in her heart. Otherwise, if it was a passerby, Ling Lan would forget about them completely.

“Yes, it’s him. I told you, Boss. You would definitely remember him!” Xie Yi said excitedly.

That person who always announced he was going to become Boss’s loyalist, had always made himself seen by them. He was also a previous subordinate of the Ling family so Boss definitely remembered him.

“Xie Yi, you broke the rule once. Go back and train for one month,” Ling Lan raised her eyebrows slightly and calmly announced Xie Yi’s punishment.

“Ah, Boss, no!” Xie Yi instantly cried out after hearing the punishment.

“2 months of training.” Ling Lan nonchalantly added to the punishment.

“Boss...” Xie Yi wasn’t going to give in and wanted to lower his punishment.

“Three months.” Ling Lan didn’t hesitate and added to it once again.

“Bo-...” Xie Yi wanted to speak again, but Luo Lang, who was sitting beside him, put his hand on Xie Yi’s mouth. “Don’t break the rule again.”

Ling Lan half-smiled and sent a glance towards Luo Lang, but she didn’t continue to add on to Xie’s punishment.

Xie Yi pushed Luo Lang’s hand away from his mouth and asked softly, “What rule did I break?” Until now, Xie Yi didn’t know how he angered Boss.

Luo Lang didn’t know what to say. Wasn’t Xie Yi usually smart? When did he become so dumb.

“Boss! You called Boss ‘Boss’!” Luo Lang replied softly.

Ling Lan, who was sifting through the documents each team leader passed her, didn’t raise her head and said calmly, “Luo Lang, 3 months of training.”

“Ah?” Luo Lang looked Ling Lan with a stunned expression. Then, he discovered that the other team leaders were looking at him with pity in their eyes. It was as though they were pitying him for digging his own grave!

“Ah!” Luo Lang cried out in agony. He stood up with great anger and punched Xie Yi. “It’s all your fault, you bastard! You screwed me! You screwed me!”

Xie Yi didn’t even dodge. Luo Lang’s punishment made him realize why he was given three months worth of training. Moreover, he inadvertently caused Luo Lang to train with him for three months. He was really sorry about that so he just covered his head as Luo Lang wailed on him.

“Alright, settle down.” Ling Lan looked through the documents given to her by the team leaders in a blink of an eye. She put down the documents and stopped Luo Lang’s extreme abuse.

Luo Lang didn’t dare to disobey so he sat down angrily.

“Now...” Ling Lan glanced towards everyone with a sharp look in her eyes. This turned the easygoing atmosphere that Luo Lang and Xie Yi created into a serious atmosphere. Everyone couldn’t help but hold in their breath as they waited for Ling Lan’s orders.

“All teams split up. One team into two. The new teams will have the current deputy leaders as their new team leaders.” Ling Lan’s order instantly caused the deputy leaders to understand why they were told to participate in this meeting

The ten team leaders looked towards their deputy with smiles on their faces. They were already aware of these arrangements before the meeting started. Ling Lan had previously asked them about their opinions on the matter.

“Every team will be increased to 33 people, creating 11 formations. In order to ensure the fighting strength of every team, every team will be split apart equally.” Ling Lan looked towards the deputy leaders, “Deputy leaders, oh, now leaders. You can speak with your original leaders to discuss how to split the team. You can take half of the members with you. My plan is to have 11 main formations led by the original leaders. Secondary mecha operators can be chosen from those who passed the lowest level requirement. Of course, whether the secondary mechas will be able to pair well with the main formations, would depend on how the people from the main formations teach them.”

“Yes, Regiment commander!”

Ling Lan’s clear arrangement allowed all the leaders understand what task they needed to do next.

“As for logistics. I also want to split them into different departments.” Ling Lan looked towards the logistics department.

“Set up a new JMC department.” Ling Lan looked towards Han Xuya. “With Major Han Xuya as the department head.”

“Yes, Regiment Commander!” Han Xuya was shocked as she replied. She didn’t think that Ling Lan would actually let her take the position of a department head. Although it was only a small JMC department with only a few hundred female soldiers, it was still a department. This meant that she was now qualified to participate in this meeting.

“Additionally, the logistics department will split into the daily management department, mecha logistics department, transport department, food supply department, supply department and logistics law enforcement department.” Ling Lan looked towards Li Jinghong, He Chaoyang, Yuan Youyun, Luo Shaoyun and Gao Jinyun, who were sitting behind Lin Zhong-qing and continued, “Li Jinghong will be responsible for being the head of daily management department, He Chaoyang for the head of the mecha logistics department, Yuan Youyun for the head of the transport department, Luo Shaoyun for the head of the food supply department and Gao Jinyun for the head of the law enforcement department.”

“As for the head of the supply department. Lin Zhong-qing will be taking the position as the head of the department for now. Furthermore, Lin Zhong-qing will be promoted to the head of the whole logistics department. The other department heads will report to him directly.”

“Yes, regiment commander!” Lin Zhong-qing and the six others stood up in response. Li Jinghong and the other five new department head all had overjoyed expressions on their faces. Although these were all the things they were already responsible for on a daily basis, they were still very excited that they were split apart and were given an actual seat of power as a department head.

Similarly to Han Xuya, this meant that they had officially entered 250 Ace Mecha Clan’s upper administrative chain. Although they entered the meeting room, they could only just listen. Now, they were no longer just bystanders and were participants instead.

“The medical department will be completely separate and will report directly to me. Department Head Li, do you understand?” Ling Lan looked towards Li Shiyu with a serious look on her face.

Li Shiyu thought about the secrets in his laboratory and smiled. “Understood, regiment commander.”

Splitting away from logistics department and giving him immediate control of everything there would make it easier for him as there will be less obstacles. Plus, it would decrease the possibility of secrets being leaked into the public.

“Similarly, the research lab for mecha modifications will also become its own department and no longer belong to the logistics department. Chang Xinyuan, you will be responsible for being the head of this department,” Ling Lan looked at Chang Xinyuan on the other side of the room and said firmly.

“But, I only know how to do research on modifications...” Chang Xinyuan was in dismay. He didn’t know how to be a head of a department.

“It doesn’t matter. It will just be the same as before. If you need anything, go find Lin Zhong-qing.” Ling Lan sold Lin Zhong-qing out just like that.

“Oh, then that’s fine.” Hearing that it was going to be just the same as before when he could just ask Lin Zhong-qing for people and supplies, Chang Xinyuan accepted it happily.

Lin Zhong-qing helplessly rubbed his forehead. He discovered that even though many departments were formed, what he actually had to do didn’t decrease by much.

“Lastly, we will form a coordination department. If any departments need to cooperate or change things up, the coordination department will make arrangements for that matter. This department similarly reports directly to me.” After saying that, Ling Lan looked towards Luo Chao with an apologetic expression.

“The department head of the coordination department will be Major Luo Chao.”
