Chapter 1193: 1193
“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 .
