Twenty-two-year-old Yu Lian received the news that he was promoted to major at 21:25 on the night of March 13 at the private residence of Keith Nichta, Chairman of the National Defense Committee, and the next day
Obtained the official command document.
However, less than three weeks had passed before he received a formal order for promotion again.
Yu Lian didn't know if there was any example in the history of the community of people being promoted so quickly, but he must be the one among the active-duty soldiers who stayed at the rank of major for the shortest time. It was as if it was child's play. It is estimated that the National Defense Commission and the Military Department also have
Understanding this, the time for issuing the order was specifically chosen on April 2.
It was a day in advance, so it would definitely be regarded as a bad prank.
When Yu Lian received the order, he was still at the Blue Guard headquarters in Eternal City, discussing the next training plan for the psykers with senior officials, including Major General Mallowan.
After a brief period of shock, everyone stood up and congratulated Yu Lian.
"Look, as I said, the fig leaf on your collar badge won't last long," Major General Mallowan said to Yu Lien.
"Yes! I originally liked this leaf, but when I got to lieutenant colonel, I would change it to a flashy golden four-leaf clover. It always felt very tasteless." Yu Lian sighed.
This is really true. The military rank badge below general is the one that best suits Yu Lian’s aesthetics. It is indeed the silver fig leaf with a gold frame, which is the rank of major. However, will this be regarded as Versailles by others present?
It has nothing to do with him.
"However, this is understandable. Our community and all other countries in the galaxy are countries that worship geniuses." Major General Mallowan smiled again: "Besides, under normal personnel arrangements, third-ring psykers are
You should enjoy the rank and treatment of a colonel. You are now a lieutenant colonel, and you have done your best by the personnel department, right? That’s why I asked you to wait for your relatives and friends, or at least wait for the personnel department."
You can't just stay for a few hours at each level, right? If you do this, wouldn't the organization's personnel system be in a mess? Now that I have been a major for three weeks, I guess the personnel department has suffered a lot.
However, I have reached the fourth ring now. According to normal treatment, shouldn’t I be promoted to general? Yu Lian thought to himself, as long as I can advance to the ring quickly enough, I can continue to embarrass the organizational system of personnel appointments and dismissals. Wouldn’t it be beautiful?
"...However, since the new official position has been handed down, the new appointment should also be here, right?" Major General Mallowan said.
Yu Lian nodded. He guessed that when he arrived at the Personnel Department, he would find people from the Foreign Affairs Department waiting there.
"Alas, ambitious geniuses will eventually run to unknown distances and leave behind the comrades they have spent their days with! Is this the crushing of ideals by realism? Bring me some wine, I want to toast the universe
You still have to respect this real miserable world!" Sister Mallowan began to touch her crystal eyes again and began to cry.
Fortunately, the senior officers of the Community Guard who were present were quite accustomed to the eldest sister's behavior, so they ignored her and went straight to discuss business matters on their own.
"The so-called Four Symbols Tactics... Damn it, why is this name still so shameful?" Yu Lian sighed.
"I think it's quite good. We are psykers, so of course we must have the mystery of psykers." Lieutenant Colonel Nani looked at a large number of Tai Chi diagrams, Buddha statues, crosses, crescent moon symbols, etc. hanging on his chest.
Wait, I think you can consider adding a string of amulets in the shape of four elephants.
Yu Lian really wanted to ask when this guy's taste disappeared, but considering the long list hanging around this guy's neck, he probably would only get a confused face even if he asked, so he could only ask.
I rolled my eyes in my mind, and then changed the topic back to normal.
"In short, a combat unit of four people is the basis of this, uh, four-image tactic. However, some talents with special talents or skills do not need to limit their actions, and must formulate corresponding guerrilla tactics. In addition, some talents with special talents or skills do not need to limit their actions.
, depending on the battlefield situation and the enemies faced, the four-man combat unit can be transformed into eight, sixteen, thirty-two people, and so on. I have formulated the tactical direction in this regard.
It’s up to you to make it specific and perfect.”
"Oh, this is the so-called Four Symbols Generating Bagua, and Bagua Generates All Things, right?" Colonel Chaimen's eyes lit up: "So, when it can be expanded into a large formation with more than 128 people, it can be named All Things Are Born.
Are you ready?"
Yu Lian didn't want to say anything anymore and could only look at the other person with vain eyes. Colonel Chaimen suddenly felt insulted and said seriously: "Why are you looking at me like that? I...Okay,
It is true that I am not good at foreign languages and science, but I have also carefully studied the classics of the three religions and the art of war."
This has nothing to do with the classics of the Three Religions, it can only be said to be the racial talent of the Japanese people.
"In addition, Sister Natalia Elinko...Master Elinko is playing on the earth recently. I saw that she was also idle, so I invited her to stay for a while and treat her as a special instructor of our Blue Guard.
Bar."
"Red...Red Shura!" Everyone present was shocked, and then overjoyed.
This eldest sister's reputation is even greater than that of the former commander Wang Jingyang.
"But isn't it said that she has little interest in worldly things?" Major General Mallowan said.
"So if you stay for a month at most, how much you can learn from her depends on your ability."
In fact, what Yu Lian said to Miss Elinko was that since we are almost reaching the seventh ring, it is better to practice in another way. For example, if one person beats a group of people, if he beats him a few more times, he might make new discoveries.
Already.
Although Miss Hong Shura feels that Yu Lian's words are not very convincing, she has indeed felt that her progress has stagnated recently. Since she can't find another boss to kill for a while, it is not a bad idea to change the gameplay. Who can say, he
Why can’t jade be attacked with a mountain stone?
"So, in order to welcome our new instructors, we must come out with a new mental outlook. Commander Chaimen, tell the entire army that tonight we will complete a 100-kilometer armed training! From here to the northernmost island of Ke'ai
.”
Colonel Chaimen was about to agree energetically, but then he realized something seemed wrong: "Wait, wait...run?"
"Yes! We are all psychics. Don't tell me that I haven't learned how to float on water! This is the best way to train your own psychic control! It is low-carbon, environmentally friendly and healthy! If I really didn't know how, I would be here today
Our goal is to let everyone learn it.”
Anyway, I have to report tomorrow. And the National Defense Commission building is right next door, so I still have a whole day to have fun with everyone.
The next day, under the weak gazes of hundreds of psykers who had been completely hollowed out, the energetic Yu Lian left the base with a step of disowning his relatives, and then went straight to the office building of the National Defense Commission, and went up to the first floor.
The Human Resources Department on the 46th floor.
Then, in a small ceremonial hall of the Personnel Department, two officers in uniform and two civilians in civilian clothes presided over a brief promotion ceremony and replaced the gold-framed fig leaves on Yu Lian's collar badge with four golden ones.
Leaf clover.
Of course, if this kind of ceremony was held just for him, it would be a bit stressful even with Yu Lian's shame. In fact, there were twenty officers promoted with him, all of whom were at the school level.
.However, Yu Lian is indeed the youngest person present.
Of course Mr. Nishita, Chairman of the National Defense Committee, is not here. After all, it is just a promotion to a school-level officer. If he appears again, it will seem too deliberate.
However, although the Chairman of the Generalissimo was not there, Mr. Pekel, the director of the Personnel Department of the National Defense Commission, was. He smiled brightly, grabbed Yang's hand with his chubby palm and shook it vigorously.
"Your Majesty, you have really set a new record in the history of serving as a major! I hope you can also set a new record in the history of a lieutenant colonel."
What is there to improve on this kind of record? In addition to proving that the personnel organization is about to get out of control, is it possible to win a gold medal?
Yu Lian thought. However, he finally did not say these words. You must know that the officers present, whose average age was twice his own, were already looking at him with envy and jealousy.
Lieutenant colonel is an unattainable class for the vast majority of "non-professionals" who have transitioned from soldiers to officers. Otherwise, why would there be so many "old captains" in the military?
In addition, even for most of the "bureaucrats" who have graduated from military academies, their service period has come to an end. They will spend their careers in the military, and then when they are about to retire, they will give the previous colonel a job.
Reward for hard work. After all, the treatment of a general and the title "Your Excellency" are still very valuable. Naturally, the National Defense Commission and the Military Department will deliberately control the number of people.
Of course, for the "Moon Man", this may be just a transition point that he will definitely experience during his service period.
However, for Yu Lian, who was just twenty-two years old, it seemed like a starting point.
No wonder the other officers present acted a little awkwardly. If they hadn't all reached a mature age, and the Personnel Director was so friendly, I'm afraid some of them would have said something strange directly.
Minister Pekel, who is as round as an inflatable ball, is fifty-five years old this year and is in charge of the promotion and personnel transfer of all military officers. In theory, even the marshal must be polite in front of him.
Minister Pecker's military reputation is actually not very good. It is said that he is a veteran bureaucrat who pays great attention to status. Of course, maybe it is because the rumors are wrong, but at this time, he is as enthusiastic as a man holding a gift.
Santa Claus, his small green bean-like eyes are filled with friendly, even kind eyes.
"Lieutenant Colonel, after the ceremony here is over, prepare to accept new orders. Hahaha, just treat this trip as a wonderful holiday. You are really a lucky young man. I am also fascinated by the magnificence of the sky.
Especially since there is such a grand event this year. It’s a pity that I am really busy with mundane tasks and can’t find peace! However, you are also a warrior who has fought on the front line and made brilliant achievements. This is also a deserved blessing.”
Minister Pecker's voice was hearty and dignified, but it always seemed to be mixed with a little condescension, as if he was giving out grace.
This should be a small trick. Mr. Minister is also the chairman's best friend, so he will naturally know that the chairman attaches great importance to Yu Lian. The reason why he is acting like this now is to express his goodwill to Yu Lian.
On the one hand, it should also be conveying a message to him. Even in the "Nishita" faction, Yu Lian is a junior, and he is the senior.
Yu Lian was well aware of this person's thoughts and didn't feel offended at all, but he just felt that it was so funny that he wanted to laugh. For an old man like Peker, all his growth is probably focused on this aspect. In this life,
There is only this potential and structure.
If I really want to be on the same level as him, I will be the one who is inferior.
