Chapter 1193 Script!
“Lingtian is powerful. Ling Lan is powerful too.” Zhang Haoxun suddenly lowered his voice. He seemed to be muttering to himself but Qin Youqi and Wang Shao both heard him.
“This merge might be an opportunity for us.” Zhang Haoxun’s gaze was slowly filled with ambition. “Becoming a legendary mecha clan might not be such a far goal anymore.”
Wang Shao and Qin Youqi were stunned by his words. They were both regiment commanders of a first-rank five-star mecha clan so it was unsurprisingly that they had the same ambition as Zhang Haoxun, but no one dared to speak up about it. This was because becoming a legendary mecha clan was very difficult, too difficult perhaps. It was not as tough as becoming an independent army but the difference between the two feats wasn’t great.
Basically, those were the two most difficult statuses to achieve for a mecha clan.
“Maybe you’re right.” Wang Shao’s heart started pounding at an increasingly deep rhythm.
Qin Youqi’s frustration slowly melted away. His gaze seemed uncertain. He seemed to be in a dilemma.
The Lingtian Mecha Clan, no, it was the Lingtian Independent Army now.
The people from the Lingtian Independent Army received their promotion too.
The administrators of Lingtian sat in the meeting room.
Ling Lan pointed to the notification on the big virtual screen and said, “Congratulations on all your promotions.”
Everyone smiled and laughed.
“First, let’s welcome Leader Yang and Leader Liu who will become the new vice regiment commanders of Lingtian.” Ling Lan clapped her hands slowly.
Everyone followed her and clapped too.
Yang Mingzhi smiled. “The promotion is just for show. My real job is still being a team leader. Please don’t get confused.”
Everyone laughed at his words.
Liu Furong continued, “Leader Yang has said what I have in mind. I’m still the team leader of Team 02. Please don’t be mistaken.”
Laughter erupted again. The awkward atmosphere of the meeting disappeared.
“You can’t push away your responsibility. You must do what you’re supposed to do.” Ling Lan didn’t mind her grasp over Lingtian was slowly loosening. She had already let go of a portion of her powers when Lingtian was still a mecha clan.
Ling Lan knew she wasn’t a robot. She wasn’t perfect. She knew what was the strength of her team leaders so she made use of them. The miracles Lingtian created weren’t accomplished by herself. It required the effort of everyone in Lingtian.
“We will follow your orders.” Liu Furong and Yang Mingzhi smiled before nodding.
They only dared to accept their position after the official announcement by their regiment commander.
They knew that Lingtian solely belonged to Ling Lan. There would only be one true commander in Lingtian .
The veteran soldiers were saved from the brink of despair by Ling Lan while the younger soldiers achieved greatness under Ling Lan. The relationships of the team leaders, the heads of the various departments and Ling Lan were even deeper.
The results Lingtian achieved were all linked to Ling Lan. She was also the person who saved all of them during the battle on Planet Haijiao.
Everyone felt that in Lingtian, Ling Lan had the ultimate say. They would only recognise Ling Lan as their true leader. They were willing to follow this powerful leader and risked their lives for her.
If someone was under the impression that he could topple Ling Lan’s position in Lingtian, he must not be from Lingtian. Liu Furong and Yang Mingzhi both felt that no matter who the military sent to Lingtian, even if it was a war hero, he wouldn’t be able to take Ling Lan’s straggle-hold of power in Lingtian away.
What about Ling Xiao? Well, since he was Ling Lan’s father, the members of Lingtian might give him some face. If not, Ling Lan might be unhappy.
“The logistics departments finally got recognised by the military. Congratulations on entering the military system. You’re not just an empty shell anymore.” Ling Lan looked at Li Shiyu and Lin Zhong-qing. Their promotions gratified her the most.
Lingtian managed to become an independent army and the logistics departments were all officially set up. Moreover, the heads of the departments were still the same. Her father must have put in a lot of effort to get this reward for her.
Ling Lan believed that various factions in the military must have wanted to send someone to take over these positions but the logistics section was just too important to her. In her mind, only capable people should lead the logistics teams. Thus, when she was discussing with her father, she told him that the heads of the logistics departments must remain the same.
Ling Xiao felt the same way too. Thus, he allowed the positions of vice regiment commanders to be created in exchange for keeping the heads of the logistics department the same.
The heads of the logistics departments were elated. After the battle, Lin Zhong-qing and Li Shiyu became senior colonels. They were the highest-ranked soldiers among all the logisticians while the rest were still colonels or lieutenant colonels.
The team leaders of the mecha teams were mostly senior colonels too. Only team leaders like Qi Long and Li Lanfeng were promoted to major generals.
“One more thing. The mecha teams will be officially promoted to mecha brigade.” Ling Lan announced with a serious face.
“Yes!” All the team leaders were surprised.
Currently, the maximum limit of soldiers in an independent army is 50,000. And to work her way around that, Ling Lan decided she would turn all her mecha teams into mecha brigades. By turning all her mecha teams into mecha brigades, she was essentially ‘forced’ to fill them up with soldiers.
A mecha brigade’s maximum limit was a few hundred soldiers to a few thousand soldiers while a mecha team could only have less than a hundred soldiers. Ling Lan didn’t want to keep to the standard of having 50,000 people for an independent army.
Thus, we could predict that the number of people in the Lingtian Independent Army would definitely exceed this number.
Ling Lan had already prepared her script in mind to report to the higher authorities.
‘You exceeded the limit? How can it be?’
‘You are forced to fill the mecha brigades? They should only have a few hundred people? What? Misunderstanding? There are 2000 soldiers in each mecha brigade?’
‘What’s the maximum limit of soldiers for a mecha brigade? 2000? Well, they didn’t exceed their limit...’
‘Your independent army has too many people.’
‘Really now? Let us pick who to let go. The process might take a while. We’ve already taken them in so we need to go through the standard procedure to return them.’
‘But, no one wants to go back. What should I do? I took them in so I’m willing to be responsible for them.’
‘How to be responsible? Well, I’ll let them remain here and groom them. If you need them in the future, you can take them away.’
Ling Lan went through all the lines in her mind and nodded in satisfaction.
