At the same time, on the other side, Lance was alone in the room, deep in thought.
The people spontaneously gathered in front of the presidential palace, eagerly awaiting the appearance of Leng Ling and Li En, with heartfelt smiles on their faces. Just now, I saw it really clearly in the car.
Leng Ling, who loved his country and his people so much, could never be a traitor. And that Lien, under tremendous pressure, made military exploits again and again despite numerous doubts, even at the cost of his own life and pain.
Given the hope of another life, this man is by no means as unbearable as the president said.
However, even so, he must obey the president's orders, obey the military's arrangements, and continue like this. But, how long can he persist like this?
Lance, who was walking on the edge of contradiction, had a vague feeling that maybe one day, his fate would change for the man named Leng Ling. Thinking of this, Lance's eyes slowly fell.
"Lance."
The light voice slowly rose outside the door. Lance withdrew his consciousness and opened the door to see Leng Ling dressed formally. He gave a standard military salute, "Your Highness, do you want to go out?"
"Send me to the military headquarters."
"yes!"
Lance drove Leng Ling to the military headquarters in his car. Before they even entered the military headquarters gate, they were already blocked by the heavy security at the door.
Lance had always disliked the military's behavior. Although it was a good thing to have strict guards, it was a bit too much for them to dare to stop Leng Ling's car.
As soon as he rolled down the window, the two soldiers who came forward spoke, "Please show me your ID."
"You are so impudent that you didn't even look at who was sitting in the car and even dared to block His Highness Leng Ling's car. Is this the attitude your military department should have?"
The two soldiers looked inside the car, and after confirming that Leng Ling was indeed sitting in the car, they bowed slightly apologetically and said, "Your Highness Leng Ling, I'm so sorry. Admiral Kaman has told us that everyone who enters the military headquarters must
We have verified our identity and we are acting in accordance with the order, so please don’t be offended."
"It doesn't matter," Leng Ling said calmly, "You are also acting in accordance with military orders, Lance, drive."
"yes."
The car stopped in front of the magnificent building, Leng Ling opened the car door and walked out.
Lifting his head slightly, Leng Ling looked at the neoclassical-style building, his clear eyes dimming slightly.
As soon as the two people walked in, someone immediately came forward to greet them. The other person stood at attention and saluted with an unusually loud voice, "Your Highness Leng Ling, welcome to the military headquarters."
Leng Ling nodded lightly, "Go tell Admiral Kaman that I have arrived."
"Your Highness, General Kaman and Mr. President have been waiting in the office for a long time. Please follow me this way."
The two followed the people who came to greet them to the office, walked to the door, and stopped.
The soldier knocked on the door lightly and said, "Mr. President, General Kaman, and His Highness Leng Ling have arrived."
"Let him in."
Leng Ling frowned slightly, opened the door and walked in.
Leng Xiao sat in front of the office and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Here?"
Admiral Kaman sat aside and did not get up after seeing Leng Ling. He just said hello to Leng Ling, and the faint contempt in his eyes flashed away, "Hi, Your Highness Leng Ling."
Leng Ling glanced at him and nodded slowly, "Yes."
Leng Xiao raised his hand and said, "Sit down."
Someone on the side hurriedly stepped forward and pulled out the carved seat, bowed slightly to Leng Ling, and the other party sat down.
Leng Xiao said solemnly, "Ling, we came to you because we wanted to tell you about Lien. In the several wars in Kessel this time, you performed very well. Both the House of Representatives and the House of Elders are very satisfied. I and I
Admiral Kaman and Elder Rolla unanimously decided to award Lean the rank of second lieutenant."
After hearing this, Leng Ling's expression was dull, and his indifferent eyes made it difficult to see what he was thinking in his heart at the moment. "Mr. President, judging from Lean's performance in Cossel in the past few months, I think he can at least be awarded the title of lieutenant."
military rank."
Leng Xiao's eyebrows moved slightly, "Listen to me, although we all recognize Lien's performance, after all, he has only been in Lanson for less than half a year. If you rashly grant him an excessive military rank, I'm afraid it will attract criticism.
."
Leng Ling's voice was cold and his words were decisive, "Lien abandoned his country and came to Lanson with me alone. Bearing the scorn of his compatriots, he risked his life and blood to help us repel the invasion of the invaders. Such a huge
How can your sacrifice and dedication lead to criticism?”
"Lean's contribution and loyalty to Lanson are obvious to all of us. Even if he is loyal to Lanson, there is no guarantee that everyone will be completely convinced by his performance." After a pause, Leng Xiao's eyes flickered.
As cold as the dark night, "You know, he is from Valencia."
Leng Ling frowned and bit his lips tightly, trying to control the emotions floating in his heart, "Even if he is from Valencia, does the victory he gained with his own life have to be questioned by others?
? If that’s the case, it would be too unfair to him.”
Leng Xiao's palms on the desk were quietly clenched, but his face showed an extremely calm expression. He slowly persuaded him, "No one questioned him, and no one treated him unfairly. I know you are eager to use your military rank."
To prove what he did to Lanson, but we cannot overstep the limit, let alone seek quick success."
"Your Highness," General Kaman on the side saw that something was wrong and said quickly, "The president also thinks this way for the sake of the long term. Please be considerate of him. I also think it is safer to take it step by step, otherwise, there will definitely be
If people are dissatisfied, it will affect Lanson's military unity."
Leng Ling pursed his lips, and a few traces of complexity on his handsome face were sadly gone. After thinking for a moment, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Leng Xiao, "Then Mr. President, if he can complete your mission in the next war, I request that you grant him
Rank of lieutenant."
Facing the unquestionable determination in the eyes of the person in front of him, Leng Xiao could hardly find a reason to refuse. He nodded and said, "I agree to your request."
"When will the investiture ceremony be held?"
"Three days later."
Leng Ling nodded slightly, "I understand. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"Go ahead."
The two watched Leng Ling leave the office. Seeing Leng Xiao's gloomy face, General Kaman immediately comforted him, "President, His Highness Leng Ling, is he a little too..."
Leng Xiao gave a cruel sneer and said, "It seems that I have indulged him too much and he dared to ask me like this."
Admiral Kaman asked, "So, what are you going to do next?"
Leng Xiao's vulture-like eyes flashed through the coldness, "Just wait and see what happens. As long as there is any movement on his side, that person must report it verbatim."
