Lu Ping'an originally thought that he would be very excited and busy just after he came back. Before coming, he was prepared for the worst and was mentally prepared to drop directly to the front line.
After all, he was transferred here after receiving an order, and the war seemed to be in a hurry from all aspects.
However, after I really started working on my own, everything returned to calm.
At least, it seemed calm on the outside, before the sea level was attacked on a large scale.
"Go to work honestly, and eat after work honestly."
Even a lieutenant general who was assigned to a military region, before the full-scale war broke out, was still just an office worker reporting for work and getting paid. At least that was the case for Lu Ping An.
"Hey, I'm still working overtime. Thank you for your hard work. Do you want me to help you order some midnight snacks?"
It was pitch dark outside, and it was already half past two in the morning when Lu Pingan arrived at the temporary military region headquarters.
But at this time, the lights in the office were still bright. Even though the security guard suggested that Lu Ping'an take a rest early, he still strolled to the staff headquarters and asked with a smile if he needed a midnight snack.
However, when this "young man" appeared so abruptly, the air there was suddenly filled with tranquility. These staff officers and staff still recognized their nominal superior, but they did not expect that he was not only as young as the legend, but also so...
Out of tune.
"Oh, no one answered, so I'll just assume that everyone needs thirty-seven people. Okay, I'm treating you today. Hello, this is the General Staff Headquarters of the Linhai District. I'll send you kebabs and beer for forty people.
What? You won’t send it?! I’m not kidding, it’s the Military Region General Staff Headquarters.”
In this era, although takeout is already available, it not only requires a phone call, but also requires a lot of trouble such as providing an address. At the same time, the shipping fee is also extremely expensive.
"No, regardless of that era, takeaways would not be delivered to military bases, at least not to the staff headquarters."
"Well, I was just joking, isn't it funny? Haha, actually, I was just joking. I just order takeout. I still need to rely on you for the specific work on the front line."
Playing jokes that no one understands in this era, perhaps the young people in front of them are too unreliable in front of serious soldiers, but this "I don't care" attitude makes them feel at ease a lot.
Letting Lu Pingan serve as the captain (the top leader of the military region) is both a temporary position and a compromise. In the war in Wailongzhou, they need the full support of the local leader Lin Nu's church power. A candidate with Lu Pingan's level, qualifications, and combat power is the one.
The most suitable middleman for both parties to cooperate.
"Your Excellency is joking. We all admire your military exploits. It is our honor to be able to cooperate with you and fight under your command."
Although he said it very respectfully, and even the respect was serious, it did not deny Lu Pingan's declaration of "I am here to mess with him".
After all, it's a good thing for both parties.
Lu Ping'an's military achievements are indeed remarkable, but they are basically at the level of local wars. As a frontline commander in a foreign land, he is absolutely qualified and even excellent. But the top leader of a military region may not be a simple soldier.
The management of the military region, logistics scheduling, personnel establishment, military equipment configuration, and the configuration of each front all require professionals to do it bit by bit. This is also the reason why the staff has no chance to rest at all late at night.
This does not mean that Lu Ping'an cannot learn these things, but that Lu Ping'an is originally an outsider outside the official military system of the East Kingdom. He has to spend a lot of time and energy to adapt and learn, and the results are probably not very good.
The most direct thing about this is that it was a waste of his high-level combat power and his own team strength.
Putting a name on it, "I'm responsible for ordering takeout and you are responsible for doing the work" is the most appropriate attitude.
The workers were relieved to see that their boss was so understanding. Previously, they heard that Lu Ping'an was very young and had made brilliant achievements all the way, so they were really worried that he would give random orders.
??????55.??????
Sometimes, what I fear most is the kind of superior who has no self-awareness and gives random orders.
"I will try my best to keep communication smooth. If you have any questions, please contact me."
A front army will naturally not only have Lu Ping'an as a high-level combat force. In fact, among the personnel that the military region can dispatch, there must be quasi-god-level personnel.
Especially at this sensitive time, there will only be more high-level combat forces than usual. Even those high-level combat forces in the Zhengshen Church can be dispatched with just one command.
Lu Pingan's role is more due to his status as an "official lieutenant general". At the same time, as the "mentor" of Mercury 42, he can effectively unite all parties.
To put it bluntly, it would be better for him to be a totem pole, where he can be effective.
If he can appear regularly and coordinate with the Lin Nu Church and the Mercury 42 Legion, that would be a perfect score.
But this is also a good thing for Lu Ping'an. He is an expert in adapting to the battlefield environment. Letting him "play freely" may be the best way to unleash the power of this wild card.
After reporting the news, Lu Ping'an left the headquarters, where he felt uncomfortable with each other.
Waiting until daybreak, and then handing over to his nominal deputy, actually the real military commander, that's almost it.
"Your Excellency Xiuichi, is this enough?"
"Yes, you are more capable than we expected. We thought we needed to remind you."
The bat suddenly landed on his shoulder and made a familiar sound, which also made Lu Ping'an breathe a sigh of relief.
Finally, he had contacted someone he knew well, and he could feel at ease.
This is not because Lu Ping'an didn't communicate with Lin Nu's church in advance, but after losing his quasi-god-level contact information, he couldn't find a suitable and important communication partner for a while. He was not only alienated from the Dongguo military system
Outside, in fact, she is also outside the system of Lin Nu's power.
To put it nicely, he is a young and promising person of his own. To put it more bluntly, he is a freelancer who takes all profits and losses on his own account. Even if he suddenly retires tomorrow and runs away, it is natural.
Everyone regards him as a friend, but he is still a little short of a true "member".
"How's it going?"
"Most people can't come back for a while. But Liu Xiyan will come back within a month."
There is good news and bad news. The Mercury 42 side is fighting very hard. The New Kingdom has begun a large-scale counterattack to conquer the lost territory. At the same time, as the war intensifies, most of the quasi-gods may not be able to leave their front lines and stations.
This is something to be expected. The confrontation between the top forces will naturally cause the high-level combat forces to contain each other. Once whoever retreats first will lead to an avalanche.
But Mr. Liu's return is undoubtedly good news.
He could have merged with Longyue Island, if he had been there at the time
"If he is here, what should be lost will still be lost. It is impossible for one individual to completely reverse the situation. But if he is here, it will be easy to shelter residents and the loss of personnel will be much less."
Incarnate and merge into a huge natural island, even if it cannot crush the enemy to death, it can easily protect one's own side.
In terms of strategic support alone, Mr. Liu's return is a great thing.
At this time, His Excellency Xiuyi not only brought news in this regard.
"Your application for direct communication with Ms. Lin has been approved, but don't have high expectations. She is not very human in all aspects."
Lin Nu, the strongest quasi-god in the church, said this about her own god.
