Chapter 167 Promoted to Second Lieutenant
"The superior commands the defense personnel enter a state of combat readiness to prevent the mutant from attacking, but they cannot actively attack the mutant. Other military affairs shall follow the normal procedures." At this time, an order came from the individual sneaker's in-person phone. Because everyone is equipped with a walkie-in-law phone, the order can accurately convey to everyone.
However, Hong Yi learned some tricks from this order.
It is just a warning, but it is not allowed to take the initiative to attack, and there is no order for all troops to gather to fight. This obviously shows some problems. In other words, the superiors also know the arrival of the surrounding mutants, but they do not take it seriously, and even just issued a combat readiness order on a routine basis.
Just as they had known for a long time that those mutants would not attack actively.
Since it does not affect normal things, Hong Yi still has to attend a military conference.
When he arrived at the place, Hong Yi found that there were all officers from the No. 7 gathering place. There were more than 30 officers alone, more than a dozen officers at the lieutenant level and five officers at the school level.
The highest military rank was a lieutenant colonel. What surprised Hong Yi was that Chi Ying was also there.
Seeing herself coming in, she also looked at her gratefully. Hong Yi knew that this was because she found the great sword for her.
Hong Yi stood in the sergeant chief's line. Looking around, Hong Yi knew that the number of this officer was much smaller than when he came, because of the giant worm mutation I encountered before.
During that battle, their casualties were over a hundred, and even more than a dozen officers died, including two school-level officers.
In comparison, the officers suffered more losses. This meeting was to decide to add officers, and some squadrons and even brigades had many soldiers. However, the commander was gone, and in this case, the combat mission could not be carried out.
Generally speaking, the appointment of officers requires at least a military division nod, but in this case, the only thing that people present can make decisions, and the decision-making power is in the hands of those school-level officers.
After a school-level officer spoke out the theme of this meeting, everyone at the scene was a little excited. Obviously, who doesn’t want to go further? A higher military rank is not only about the improvement of status but also about the improvement of treatment. Even the number of soldiers in his hands will also increase. In this case, everyone is willing to climb to a higher position.
Even Hong Yi had the same idea. Of course, he was thinking more about Decree No. 1, because Nuwa once vaguely reminded that the higher her military rank, she could provide more information and permissions that she could not provide before.
Thinking of this, Hong Yi looked at Lin Yun sitting in front. She was one of the few school-level officers. With her here, she should be able to get some benefits.
Hong Yi was just the lowest-level lieutenant chief, so he couldn't even interfere in the decision-making of the meeting. Lin Yun was indeed speaking for him. This time they decided to draw some people from the lieutenant chief to add that there were five positions in total among the lieutenant chief, all of which were second lieutenant officers. Hong Yi became one of the candidates under Lin Yun's nomination.
The second lieutenant officer can control at least three squadrons of soldiers, that is, more than sixty people, and there is also a small team of combat robot control authority. So the competition is very fierce.
The whole process can be said to be ups and downs, but Hong Yi still succeeded with the help of Lin Yun and became one of the five second lieutenants officers.
In addition to the soldiers under the original subordinates, the temporary promoted second lieutenant can also obtain soldiers from two other squadrons. The new appointment will soon convey the soldiers to whom they belong.
"Now is the first-level combat readiness stage. Everyone is ready to fight at any time. The newly promoted officers should immediately assemble your subordinates and wait for combat orders at any time." After the lieutenant colonel officer finished speaking, he announced the reconciliation.
There is no unnecessary nonsense, everything is practical.
Hong Yi returned to the barracks with the rank of lieutenant on his shoulders and immediately asked Wen Jin and Jiao Yong to inform the soldiers of the 15th Squadron and 22th Squadron to come and gather.
The two squadrons obviously returned to Hong Yi. Seeing that Hong Yi became the second lieutenant, Wen Jin and Jiao Yong both lit up their eyes and saluted immediately and went to execute the order. In a few minutes, the soldiers of the three squadrons had already assembled.
Looking at the more than 60 soldiers in front of him, Hong Yi nodded. From now on, these people are under his command. To be honest, it is still a bit satisfying. The military headquarters is different from other places. A second lieutenant officer has a very high value.
Looking at the soldiers lined up neatly below, Hong Yi knew that he had to show a certain level of strength, otherwise it would be impossible to convince the public, especially the two squadrons that had just been incorporated.
So Hong Yi did not say nonsense and said coldly: "No matter whether you accept it or not, from today on, I will be your commander. Whoever doesn't agree? Come out now. I will give you this opportunity. No matter who or how many people can defeat me, I will immediately apply to my superiors for the win-win person to sit in my seat."
After saying that, Hong Yi paused for a moment and glanced at the more than 60 people with sharp eyes.
At this time, Hong Yi released his pressure. The long-term battle with the mutant made him look majestic. None of the more than 60 soldiers below dared to look at Hong Yi head-on.
These new soldiers who came here did not know anything about Hong Yi. At least they knew that in the previous giant worm mutation battle, Hong Yi and his squadron were the few squadrons without any casualties. From this point alone, we can see that this commander is not simple, at least, he takes good care of his subordinates.
In addition, they also heard about Hong Yi defeating five second-level veterans of the White Star against five.
Not to mention anything else, no one dares to challenge his authority just because all of them, the highest evolutionary level of White Star is the second level, and they can defeat five second level of White Star. These are at least three-level white Star evolvers. From the perspective of evolutionary level alone, Hong Yi is qualified to become a lieutenant-level officer.
Seeing that no one was talking, Hong Yi smiled. Obviously, this is the effect he wanted.
At this time, he must establish his majesty, otherwise his subordinates will definitely not efficiently execute the orders he issued.
"Since no one raises an objection, from now on, you must unconditionally execute my orders. Disband now, take the squadron organization and wait for the order." After Hong Yi said that, he asked the soldiers to go down to rest. Of course, the so-called rest is to wear clothes and carry weapons with you. Because it is a first-level combat readiness, as long as an order is issued, you will immediately enter the battle.
At this time, Hong Yi's heart moved and he sensed the breath of smoke.
"You two are watching here, I'll go out!" Hong Yi said to Wen Jin and Jiao Yong and left the camp.
In a remote place, Hong Yi saw the smoke.
In his hand, Yanba was holding a completely green brain crystal that was the size of a fist. When Hong Yi looked at it, he immediately knew that this should be the brain crystal that was mutated by the giant worm before.
Hong Yi took it over and looked at it, and found that the brain crystal was actually just a piece of fragment. Obviously, the original brain crystal was larger in size. This brain crystal is a great demon-level mutant and is the highest-level brain crystal obtained by Hong Yi so far.
Holding it in your hand can easily feel the powerful power contained on it.
Looking at the smokesticks again, it seemed like it had experienced a big battle, and the breath of smokesticks was stronger than before. Hong Yi's eyes lit up and he immediately asked what was going on.
"I killed a mutant and ate it!" Yanbi's answer was very concise. Yanbi's language ability has improved too much compared to before, so there is no problem with normal communication.
Hong Yi nodded. Yanbi was originally a corpse constitution and had the characteristics of a mutant in the zombie. That is, devour. One of the ways for zombies to improve their strength is to swallow the flesh and blood of other creatures and gain strength from the flesh and blood.
For smoke farts, the more you eat, the stronger it has.
Unlike before, Yanba has evolved into a demon-level mutant and has wisdom that is not inferior to humans, so it often expresses its discoveries and ideas.
Just like now, Hong Yi saw that Yanba had something to say.
"What do you mean? Let me say it!" After Hong Yi finished speaking, Yanbi said: "This time I went to look for the brain crystal of that big insect. A few guys snatched me. They are not weak, even stronger than me. I am only one-quarter of the entire brain crystal. Those guys don't know my background and want to pull me into the group."
Hong Yi understood the words of Yanba. The guys in his mouth must be other demon-level mutants. He didn't expect to find brain crystals and even encounter such a thing.
"What did they ask you to do?" Hong Yi asked.
"About the No. 1 ruins, they also plan to enter, but I can see that they know that the subordinates of a strong man were only able to see that I was not weak, so they wanted to pull me into the group. I didn't agree to them immediately!" Yan Ba said truthfully.
Hong Yi nodded. Since Yanba evolved into a demon-level mutant, it has done a lot of things well. Because of its wisdom, it has the ability to think. Obviously, Yanba did not agree to the other party immediately, and just wanted to come back to ask for his own opinions. Yanba also knew about the matter of the No. 1 ruins, so it wanted to listen to Hong Yi's decision.
"You go find those guys, join them, see what they are going to do, and ask for some information back." Hong Yi quickly made a judgment.
Yanba nodded without any hesitation, and his body disappeared into the air without a trace.
This news is very important to Hong Yi. He had previously suspected the purpose of the mutants around the City of Death. Now it has basically been clear that they are all for the ruins No. 1.
