At the end of the welcome ceremony, Huo Qiang stopped Ye Han who was about to leave and took him to his office. After sitting down, Huo Qiang took out a fairly exquisite plastic box from the drawer and put it on the table.
Pressing the box with his fingers, he pushed it to Ye Han unhurriedly: "It's for you."
Ye Han looked at Huo Qiang in surprise: "What?"
Huo Qiang retracted his fingers holding the box and made a gesture of invitation: "You will know if you open it and take a look."
Now that he said that, Ye Han was not polite. He picked up the box and opened it, revealing a brand new glossy one.
Ye Han suddenly raised his head: "For me?"
Huo Qiang nodded: "What's your expression? Are you surprised?"
Ye Han chuckled: "It's not too surprising. I thought there should be hope this time, but there has been no movement since I came back. I thought it was out of luck again."
Huo Qiang was amused by Ye Han's tone: "Looking at your potential, why are you so anxious?"
Ye Han smiled sheepishly: "Well, I'm thinking about it, leaving the matter of promotion until the ceremony will have the final effect. Since it's not mentioned in the ceremony, there must be no hope."
"You think so!" Huo Qiang was both angry and amused. "The promotion of Lieutenant General to General is not broadcast live around the world. Do you think you can get this kind of treatment if you are promoted to Major General?"
Ye Han rubbed the back of his head and grinned non-stop, wishing he could change to this military rank right now.
This was a major general. From this moment on, he officially entered the ranks of generals. When he was making a living boating on Jinghu Lake, he never imagined that he would have the opportunity to become a general in this life.
Huo Qiang put away his smile and crossed his hands in front of him: "In addition to being promoted to military rank, I have come to see you for one more thing."
"Commander, please tell me!" Ye Han quickly straightened his posture and quietly put his military rank into his pocket.
Huo Qiang said: "It's just a matter of your position. You also know how you came to be the captain. No one thought that you, the temporary captain, could make such big news. Now there are two opinions. One is
Let me go back to the Airborne Division, but this is too unqualified; the second is to have a high-ranking and low-ranking position, the temporary position will be converted to a regular position, and you will continue to command the Leishan; the third is to transfer you to the headquarters as a staff officer... Do you have any ideas?
?”
After hearing the third sentence, Ye Han couldn't help but feel excited and almost agreed on the spot.
That means you don't have to fight with bugs all over the mountains and plains, and you don't have to fight desperately with vicious aliens. Not to mention how rare the opportunity is to be transferred to the command center, and your safety is more guaranteed than on the front line.
But then I thought about it and felt something was wrong: "Chief, I don't quite understand. Are you asking me to choose by myself?"
Huo Qiang held his chin and nodded slowly.
Ye Han struggled fiercely in his heart and hesitated for a while before asking: "Chief, is there any reason I don't know?"
Huo Qiang pursed his lips and took a deep breath: "I don't need to mention the first point, you are originally from the Airborne Division; the second point is the intention of the fleet, they feel that putting you back in the Airborne Division is too humiliating; and the third point is that you are in the Airborne Division.
The point is the idea of the headquarters. On the one hand, they think you have a good brain, and on the other hand, there is a strong voice among the people, hoping to transfer the best commanders away from the front line. That's probably it."
Ye Han considered it for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Chief, what should I say?"
"Tell the truth!" Huo Qiang interrupted rudely, "I don't want to hear lies."
Ye Han grinned: "The Airborne Division... I really don't want to go back. Let's put it this way, how many bugs can I kill if I fight with bugs every day? If I fight for the rest of my life, I might as well sink an enemy ship; as for being transferred to the headquarters
Well... To be honest, I am very excited. Being able to stay in Beiyue Continent not only means safety and security, but also allows me to reunite with my family more often..."
"Then you want to stay at the command center?"
Ye Han shook his head with difficulty: "If possible, I'll continue to command the Leishan."
"Decided?"
"It's decided!" It was difficult for Ye Han to say these three words, but after saying it, he completely relaxed, "To tell you the truth, if it had been before, I would have definitely chosen the headquarters, but now, I hope more
Stay on the front line.”
Huo Qiang was silent for a moment, sighed and said, "As long as you understand what you want, I'll put this matter aside for a few days. If you regret it, come to me."
Ye Han nodded: "Thank you, chief."
"No need." Huo Qiang's expression was very subtle, "Go ahead, you've been away for such a long time, so go home and take a look."
"Yes!" Ye Han immediately stood up and saluted.
"Yes." Huo Qiang nodded, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, take your soldiers with you and go to the laboratory to find Professor Qin tomorrow."
Ye Han was stunned: "Chief, can I ask what we are being asked to do in the laboratory?"
"It's okay, just a routine check."
"Yes, chief, I'm leaving first!"
"Go ahead."
Ye Han turned around and left, his steps firm and calm. However, after leaving Huo Qiang's office, his steps immediately slowed down, and the perseverance on his face disappeared, turning into a lingering loss.
Doesn't he want to stay in Beiyuezhou? Of course he does, but he knows very well that staying in Beiyuezhou is not a good thing.
My family knows my own affairs, and it is indeed a good thing to stay, but where is Beiyuezhou? Where is the headquarters? There are many high-ranking officials here, and there are many generals. He, a newly promoted major general, wants real power but not real power, and wants seniority but not seniority.
, when can you survive?
In Gao Kai's words, the higher the status, the more political wisdom is needed, and what Ye Han is not good at is the intrigue. He might be sold by others, and the money will be paid by others, without knowing what happened.
It will be different if he continues to stay on the front line. Since he can command the Leishan to achieve so many results, he will definitely be able to sink more enemy ships in the future. As long as he can continue to create brilliance with the battleship, no one can suppress his achievements.
.
And Ye Han doesn't think the front line is really that dangerous at all. At least he can still run away if he can't fight.
So after much thought, he finally gave up the idea of staying in Beiyue Continent.
Unknowingly, he walked to a porthole. Ye Han looked through the porthole and fell on the airport outside the window.
Nanzhou, Beihai and several other battleships were lined up in a row. The red navigation lights on the battleships flashed one after another and kept flashing very regularly.
It was three months later and he had not had time to understand the situation in the asteroid belt, but he knew that the Nanzhou had returned to Hong Kong for more than a month, and the Beihai had returned a few days earlier than the Nanzhou. The two warships had completed their maintenance
Supplies are available and can leave port and sail at any time.
A little further away is the Orbital Factory. The dilapidated Leishan is parked in one of the docks. Engineers from the military are disposing of the insect drones on the ship.
Well, I hope their research will produce results soon.
