Chapter 5654 Taking office at the division headquarters
"Excuse me. During your absence, I sent several emperor-level experts out to look for you, but they couldn't find you. Everyone is worried about your safety."
"Thank you, General, for being so kind. My subordinate was chased by the enemy emperor and entered the forbidden place. I hid in the forbidden place for a period of time."
Xiang Chen roughly explained the situation.
"Hey -" General Zhuang Bo sighed: "It's all my fault that I didn't find out the spies and traitors earlier, so you suffered so much. We will definitely avenge you in the future!"
Xiang Chen nodded in agreement: "I believe we will definitely avenge our shame!"
General Zhuang Bo waved his hand, and the two soldiers behind him stepped forward.
One person held a new set of armor in his hand, and the other person held a command saber in his hand!
This battle armor is jet black with golden epaulettes. It has three horizontal bars and a vertical sword symbol.
Three bars and one sword, young governor general!
"This is your promotion appointment from the Ministry of War!"
He took out a document, opened it and read: "Because Li Wangchen, the leader of the Blood Wolf Sharp Saber Brigade, has well-trained troops, performed well in the enemy's breakout operations, and the troops have achieved outstanding results."
"Now Li Wangchen is specially appointed as the commander of the 38th Group Army and the 9th Division, with the rank of Major Governor General!"
He gave the document to Xiang Chen and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Wangchen!"
Xiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be excited and saluted excitedly: "Thank you, General, for your cultivation!"
"This is the merit you deserve."
Xiang Chen took the new armor and command sword with both hands and asked curiously: "Where is the division commander of the 9th Division?"
"He died in battle. Now the Ninth Division is led by the deputy commander."
"Why--"
Xiang Chen pretended to sigh sadly, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
Finally started to become a high-level general!
A major-general official has officially entered the rank of general and is considered a high-ranking officer in the military.
In the regular army of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, those who can become young governors must have their own cultivation or combat power reaching the level of the Great Emperor.
Then you must have corresponding military exploits and qualifications.
Generals and generals like Zhuang Bo are powerful men at the level of Emperor of Heaven, commanding hundreds of thousands or even millions of regular army troops.
As the division commander, Xiang Chen can also lead five brigades, about 50,000 people.
The Blood Wolf Blade Brigade also belongs to the 9th Division of the 38th Army!
After exchanging a few words with Xiang Chen, General Zhuang Bo left. Xiang Chen and others respectfully saw him off from the brigade headquarters camp.
"Haha, congratulations!"
"What is the guest seat? It should be called the master seat now!"
"Yes, yes, look at my bad mouth, haha, Master is the person who has been promoted the fastest I have ever seen, but only our Master has such ability!"
Everyone congratulated one after another, and Xiang Chen said with a smile: "I invite everyone to drink tonight, and you won't come home until you're drunk!"
"good!"
In the evening, after a night of partying, Xiang Chen was so drunk that he went to work at the division headquarters the next day.
Ninth Division, Division Headquarters.
Knowing that the new division commander was coming to take office, the division headquarters' staff officers, clerks, and brigade commanders from several other brigades all came to the division headquarters.
"Who is the new division commander?"
"I don't know, we have no news yet?"
"Brother Yu, it can't be you, right? You are one of the top three thousand people on the Tongtian Book God List as soon as you break through the combat power!"
The commander of the 1st Brigade of the Ninth Division asked Yu Tianxian with a smile.
Yu Tianxian smiled bitterly and said: "How could it be me? If I were the one to return the favor, would I still have to stand here and wait?"
"Haha, you will go up sooner or later!"
While everyone was laughing and talking, a general wearing black armor and a red cloak came in from the outer gate, followed by a group of officers in armor.
"I'm coming!"
Everyone in the division looked around quickly and stood tall and straight.
When that face appeared in front of everyone, everyone was stunned.
"Li Wangchen!"
"Captain Li, why is it him?"
"How can this be!"
"He is the new division commander?"
Everyone was shocked in their hearts, and secretly communicated with each other in surprise.
Yu Tianxian's eyes widened even more and he looked at Xiang Chen in disbelief. The new division commander was actually him?
Xiang Chen looked at everyone and said with a smile: "My colleagues, long time no see!"
Su Fang, the deputy division commander and also the rank of Major General, saluted quickly and said: "See you at the division seat!"
Other chiefs of staff, clerks, and brigade commanders also quickly followed suit and bowed: "See you at the master's seat!"
"No courtesy, no courtesy, we are all colleagues, there is no need to be so polite!"
Xiang Chen stepped forward to help everyone up with great enthusiasm, and even patted Yu Tianxian on the shoulder who looked not very good-looking.
Yu Tianxian showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
Xiang Chen looked at everyone and sighed: "Li is so happy to see all my colleagues again!"
Su Fang smiled and said: "Master, if you survive the disaster, you will be blessed. Now that you have returned triumphantly, we are all very happy."
After Xiang Chen exchanged some condescending words with them, he got down to business and asked directly: "Brother Su, how is the situation of our Ninth Division now?"
Su Fang shook his head and sighed: "The establishment is not complete. Our Ninth Division also lost more than half in the last battle. Now there are only more than 20,000 people in the division, and many brigades are not even half as strong as before."
"And we haven't received any new soldiers yet."
Xiang Chen frowned: "With so many people missing, I will write to the general later and ask if we can recruit our own troops!"
Having said this, Xiang Chen looked solemn and prepared to make three fires for the new official to take office.
"Everyone, now that I have become the division commander of the 9th Division, the training methods of the entire division must follow my command from now on!"
"In addition, I plan to establish a special operations brigade in our division, which will be reorganized from my original Blood Wolf Blade Brigade. Li Dahou, you will be responsible for serving as the brigade commander of the Blood Wolf Special Operations Brigade!"
Xia Houwu walked out of the crowd and said yes.
Xiang Chen continued: "My division, in addition to abiding by the military regulations of our army, must also abide by some rules set by me."
"First, you are not allowed to kill prisoners of war who surrender voluntarily!"
"Secondly, it is strictly forbidden to massacre the city, and it is forbidden to massacre and oppress the people, even the people of the Netherworld!"
"Third -"
Xiang Chen began to talk about some of his own rules for running the army. He even hoped that someone would jump out and find fault so that he could establish his authority.
But he was disappointed. Everyone was extremely respectful and had no objections. Even Yu Tianxian did not show any dissatisfaction.
The same is true for Su Fang, the deputy teacher who was in the early stage of the Great Emperor's cultivation. His cultivation was as high as Xiang Chen's major realm or multiple minor realms, but he didn't give Xiang Chen any bad looks, let alone sing the opposite.
Presumably, it is because of his current rank that he can crush people to death. In the Hongmeng army, if a subordinate dares to show his teeth to a superior, it is in line with military regulations for the superior to execute you.
The meeting held by Xiang Chen at the division headquarters went very smoothly.
After the meeting, Xiang Chen asked the general Zhuang Bo for troops to replenish his troops.
General Zhuang Bo directly rejected his request. Now that the entire group army is short of men, how can he have soldiers to supplement Xiang Chen.
Xiang Chen knew that the other party would not give it, so he retreated and asked for help, which revealed his true purpose. ap;lt;tercss=clearap;gt;
