Changsun Hongduan was sitting upright in his office chair. In the three-dimensional projection opposite him, Jiang Cheng stood upright and saluted solemnly.
"How's it going? It's your first time entering the Dark Star Territory. How's that boy Tang Lang doing?" Changsun Hong raised his hand and returned the military salute, asking seemingly casually.
After a few seconds of delay, Jiang Cheng put down his hand with a strange expression on his face. "Commander, I found that Tang Lang is a natural expert at robbing families and homes!"
"Oh? Tell me about it?" Changsun Hong's expression remained unchanged, as if he didn't care about the surprise of his close subordinates.
"According to the intelligence sent back from within the independent regiment, most of the goods we need for this trip have been met." Jiang Cheng's eyes flashed with wonder. "But this is not the most surprising thing. The most surprising thing is that,
After we shipped another 1,000 mechas, the independent group already had the strength of 1,500 mechas. After conquering Lexa Space Station, its strength has not decreased but increased. It has now transformed from 7 mecha battalions.
There are now 13 mecha battalions, which is close to the strength of two full armored divisions."
"Huh? How did he do it?" After hearing Jiang Cheng's report, Changsun Honggujing Bubo's face was slightly moved.
"He first went deep into the 922 celestial body alone to gain the trust of the Hebrews, and then united with the Hebrews who were in trouble to send 500 mechas. Then he used the Hebrews as an inside line to enter the Lexar space station and behead Lexar.
The big boss of the space station, Decepticon Joey, captured Lexar Space Station, which was more powerful than himself, with only 200 mechas killed or injured. He also drove out some residents of the space station as a shock, and nearly 800 mechas were killed.
Absorbed into the Independent Regiment, no, to be more precise, the Phoenix Legion." Jiang Cheng continued to introduce. "He promised to surrender after a series of alliances, roping in, infiltration, beheadings, and violent attacks, including ruthless expulsion.
, If I hadn’t already seen the results clearly, I really couldn’t believe that all of this was done by a young man who was only 26 years old.”
Then, with a look on his face, he sighed: "If I have to evaluate him, there is only one ancient Chinese word that can describe him: Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth!"
"Haha, when did Colonel Jiang Cheng, who was in his prime, lament that he was old?" After listening to his subordinate's report and his generous praise of Tang Lang, Changsun Hong smiled faintly. Maybe it was because he was in a good mood.
, but it was extremely rare that Jiang Cheng began to make fun of him.
"Before the president, subordinates dare not say senior." Jiang Cheng's eyes were solemn. "I just lamented that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. If it were a subordinate who did this, he might not be as good as him. For example, he put himself in danger twice in a row.
In such a situation, using one's tyrannical strength to persuade the Hebrews, and to conduct a beheading battle against Joey, who possesses a high-level mecha master and a ninth-generation mecha, is something that a subordinate would never be able to do."
"Colonel Jiang Cheng, your personal style is different and your command art is different. If you were the commander, you might not need to be so cumbersome. You only need to ambush several Decepticon starships on their way to celestial body 922.
The strength of the Lexar Space Station was severely damaged, and with the power of victory, the Hebrews were forced to jointly send troops to Lexar. The Lexar Space Station, which has completely lost its space peripheral warfare strength, will collapse in a short time. I can say that
Is that so?" Changsun Hong said with a smile and waved his hands. "Although this little guy Tang Lang's series of tactical arrangements are remarkable, the first time he commanded such a large-scale battle was a bit out of the ordinary.
It's beyond my surprise, but it's still too early to say that it's perfect, and you seniors in the military have to give him more guidance."
"Yes! Chief!" Jiang Cheng stood up straight involuntarily.
In his heart, he was secretly horrified by how much the top man in the federal military valued Tang Lang. What he just said was actually dissatisfaction with Tang Lang, the highest commander, going into dangerous situations twice in a row. Of course, a commander who likes to take risks on his own
Caring enough for your subordinates can win the hearts of their officers and soldiers, but it is an extremely sharp double-edged sword. If there is a slight mistake, not only will Tang Lang be defeated, but the independent regiment's offensive plan will also be seriously disrupted.
.And he, the supreme commander of the Federation who is sitting in the rear, will also be implicated.
But unexpectedly, when he arrived at Chief Changsun's place, he simply said that his personal style is different and his commanding skills are different, and his complaints were eliminated in an understatement.
But to be honest, putting all this aside, Jiang Cheng absolutely admired Tang Lang, who was ten years younger than him. He was simply dazzled by the various tactics of land warfare, especially special operations. Just like what Chief Chang Sun said just now.
, according to his own tactics, he may be able to capture the Lexar Space Station, and the losses may be smaller, but whether from the Hebrews or the Lexar Space Station, his cleanup after the war will not be so smooth.
Don't even think about Tang Lang recruiting more than 1,300 mechas, including Hebrews.
In general, it would be better to use Tang Lang's tactics.
"Compared to commanding fleets in battles that you are familiar with, Tang Lang is a pretty good mecha master, so he prefers to solve battles on the ground. This is his shortcoming." Changsun Hong seemed to know that he was an attribute.
He thought carefully and smiled lightly. "So, we can only give him less mechas and more starships."
"Tell Tang Lang for me that the Federation will give him as much support as he can expand the size of the Independent Regiment. However, what I want is not a bunch of rabble, but a team of elite soldiers and strong generals." Changsun Hong was finally moved by Jiang Cheng.
He continued with an expression on his face. "There will be three frigates, two destroyers and a cruiser cruising in the border area. Waiting for you to transport the goods to the border, use your Signal Lee as the flagship to lead this fleet back to the Dark Star.
In the area, all the Federation Army symbols will be obliterated and organized into the Starship Detachment of the Southwest Independent Regiment, with you as the second commander of the Independent Regiment. Also, your rank of Brigadier General is already waiting for you on the cruiser!"
In the captain's room of the Li Signal transport ship, Chang Sun Hong's image gradually dissipated, but the lingering sound of the order was still clearly transmitted to the ears of Colonel Jiang Cheng, no, more precisely, Jiang Cheng, who was about to be promoted to the rank of general.
The specifications of the independent regiment have been raised again. Not only does it already have two mecha divisions and ten assault ships, it now has a tactical core consisting of cruisers, frigates, destroyers and large transport ships that can serve as fire support ships.
The small fleet. If we add the three destroyers that will be assembled at the shipyard soon, this is almost the strength of a main fleet squadron.
What surprised Jiang Cheng even more was that as a brigadier general, he was only the second commander. The third commander was naturally Colonel Shen Chengfeng. So who would be the first commander? Although Chang Sun Hong did not say it clearly, according to the regulations of the Ministry of Military Affairs
, the current temporary supreme commander of the independent regiment, even if it is temporary, is still the first commander.
In other words, only when Tang Lang leaves the Dark Star Territory will the interim supreme commander resign. Before Tang Lang returns to the Federation, he, as a brigadier general, has to take orders from Tang Lang, whose current military position is unclear.
Recalling that when he took Tang Lang back to the Federation Capital Star, Tang Lang was just a soldier waiting to be awarded for his meritorious service. However, in less than 3 months, he became a commander in charge of tens of thousands of troops.
In addition to generals, colonels, officers, federal elites, and various captured bandits under his command... Even though Jiang Cheng had gone through many storms, he couldn't help but feel a sense of change at this moment.
Really, it's a little too fantasy.
If it were an ordinary person, he might still be a little dissatisfied at this time. This is a normal psychology. If Tang Lang's military rank is above him and his command authority is above him, then naturally there is nothing to say. But Tang Lang
He is currently just a military school student. Even if he has great achievements, he will only be a major when he graduates. Let a commodore and countless colonels and lieutenant colonels in the fleet take orders from a fledgling.
Young man, this is somewhat difficult for Jiang Cheng.
But as Jiang Cheng, who had served as a staff officer in Changsun Hong's staff room, he was far more confused than dissatisfied. He knew very well that Admiral Changsun, who had always made decisions and acted decisively, would never do such a nonsensical thing. Now that he has done so,
There must be his considerations.
The attack on the Kexa Space Station and the seizure of various strategic materials needed by the Federation was Tang Lang's first big test. After passing the big test, it would be the next round of tests. And how to command the incoming fleet, or let the Federation do this?
Helping the arrogant and powerful generals to become his generals may be his second test.
This may be the real reason why General Changsun Hong made his status as second commander clear, but did not clearly explain it to the first commander. He only asked Tang Lang to be the first commander temporarily according to the regulations of the Ministry of Military Affairs.
With a little expectation in his eyes, the fleet commander who was about to wear the star looked into the depths of the void.
Since Mr. Changsun is so optimistic about you, then don’t let me down!
Don't let the Federation down! This is perhaps the biggest expectation that the brigadier in his prime has for Tang Lang. As one of the people who has experienced the Dark Night Project, he understands the importance of the Dark Star Territory to the Federation.
This place is not only rich in strategic resources, but also an important defensive barrier on the federal border. It is precisely because of the existence of this sinister star field that the Jiepen people have had to fight against the Jiepen people countless times over the past millennium.
Choose to fight against the Federation from the heavily guarded Fluctlight Star Territory.
If the Jiepen people or the Great Eagle Empire had controlled the passage of the fleet in the Dark Star Territory that day, then the Federation would have lost a lot of room for strategic maneuvering, not to mention devoting its small main fleet to focus on defense in this direction.
And what is Tang Lang, who is looking forward to, having passed Changsun Hong's first major exam and about to face his second exam, doing now?
The joy of the previous huge capture and the expansion of the strength of his subordinates has gone, replaced by the huge sequelae caused by the expansion of strength.
"Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes", "A dog cannot change its habit of eating shit" and other common sayings from his ancestors lingered in Tang Lang's mind like vines in the forest.
Tang Lang's eyes became colder and colder as he looked at the disciplinary incidents that occurred one after another on his desk in the office this week.
