I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

But you also know that as the commander of the Haiqing Provincial Military Region, my power is limited.

It is true as you said, the 788th Exploration Team is an unprecedented team, it should not be confined to the garrison area, nor should it be restricted by the provincial military region. This team should be better developed.

But this is all I can do: restore their military ranks and award them medals, hold a commendation meeting, recognize the existence of the 788 Exploration Team in the name of the Provincial Military Department, and allocate independent military funds to them for team building.

At the same time, 788 was given the right to continue to expand its enrollment, but it could only form a battalion-level team at most.

But if you want to move up and have an independent number, military region, or even set up a department as you said, you still have to find a way to get the approval of the theater commander.

And when I report this time, I will try my best to say a few words for you and pave the way for you.

But I can’t guarantee whether I can save you in the end…”

Hearing this, Zhao Qi stood up and nodded firmly: "Commander Jiang, you have done enough for us.

Let us handle the rest!"

Commander Jiang's words hit the nail on the head for Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi has always had a clear plan for the development of the 788 Exploration Team.

The 788th Exploration Team was to be independent after all, and not just a class team within a regiment.

The recognition from the provincial military department is a good start, heralding a brighter future for the 788 Exploration Team.

Zhao Qi's ultimate goal is to develop the 788 Exploration Team into an independent military department with its own independent military region.

Although the road is long and full of challenges, the recognition from the provincial military headquarters is the first solid step they have taken.

Commander Jiang has done everything he can for the provincial military department, so Zhao Qi is full of gratitude towards Commander Jiang.

Although the previous investigation seemed to be making things difficult, they were actually just following the rules.

Most of the people in the provincial military department are doing their best to help him, and Zhao Qi will always remember this kindness.

After taking a deep look at Zhao Qi and the members of the 788 Exploration Team, Commander Jiang breathed a sigh of relief:

“Luckily I came this time, otherwise I would have missed too much.

Well, time has been delayed for too long. I will go back first. The old comrades in the provincial military department are still waiting for me to go back for a meeting, and the war zone is also waiting for my report.

It won't be long before the official approval documents are delivered, and your team members will be able to wear their military ranks again.

After I return, I will also hold a meeting to discuss the commendation meeting, awarding of honors, and arrangements for promotions for team members.

When the time comes, prepare to go to the provincial military department to accept the reward..."

After saying that, Commander Jiang and Minister Tang walked out of the house.

The military vehicles have been parked downstairs, and it is time for them to return.

Zhao Qi brought his team members downstairs.

Watching Commander Jiang and Minister Tang get on the car, Zhao Qi stood still and ordered loudly:
"Everyone at 788, stand at attention! Salute!"

The unified movements expressed Zhao Qi and his team members' deep respect for Commander Jiang and Minister Tang.

Commander Jiang, who was sitting in the car, extended his right hand in return, until the military vehicle slowly drove out of the security area.

The little fox stood beside Zhao Qi in confusion, wagging its tail, as if it didn't quite understand.

When I returned to the office, only Zhao Qi and Little Fox were there.

After they came out of seclusion, they experienced a fierce battle. The insights they gained and the remaining power in their bodies were a rare fortune for them.

Therefore, they all returned to their respective rooms to consolidate their increased strength and comprehend the experience after this battle.

After Zhao Qi returned to the office, the little fox sat quietly beside him, not disturbing him, but just curiously watching the birds flying by outside the window from time to time.

Zhao Qi sat on the chair, immersed in his own thoughts.

The system's development tasks have not yet been completed.

[The first step in developing 788: the first exploration team is fully staffed with five people! ]

Because the fifth team member has not joined yet.

Zhao Qi knew that the tasks currently issued by the system were all centered on the gradual development of the 788 Exploration Team.

The construction of independent units, military regions, departments and special places is only the future development direction, not what needs to be done right now.

What is really important right now is to find the fifth suitable member as soon as possible to make the team full!

Zhao Qi understood that once the fifth member joined, the system would continue to release new main tasks, which would undoubtedly be beneficial to the construction and development of the exploration team.

In fact, the development of the system coincides with Zhao Qi's plan.

It’s just that the system issues tasks step by step, while Zhao Qi needs to consider more and more distant things.

Gaining recognition from the theater is a must, just as it is necessary to gain recognition from the provincial and ministerial military regions.

When development reaches this stage, it needs corresponding support.

But before that, there is no need to worry too much, because everything needs to be done step by step, and the construction of 788 cannot be completed overnight!

For example, if 788 is asked to build a military region and set up a department now, this is obviously unrealistic. Because so far, even a small team is not fully staffed, how can there be enough manpower to support the construction of a military region department?
Therefore, we must proceed steadily and step by step. Otherwise, if the foundation is unstable, it will be like a castle in the air, which will be a big problem!
So, Zhao Qi was not in a hurry.

The most important thing at the moment is to restore the military ranks of the team members and let them participate in the commendation meeting.

This is recognition and encouragement for every team member, which helps to stabilize morale.

The morale of the team members is an important part of the development of the 788 Exploration Team and naturally cannot be ignored.

The radio was still on, broadcasting some news about Shuixiang.

Although there is mutual communication between the two places in terms of media, there are still some obstacles in the details.

However, when Zhao Qi heard the news on the radio that Zihao and Xin Qi had been investigated, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

First, a motion for Shuixiang's return was proposed, and then these heroes were arrested one after another.

It seems that with the recovery of national fortune, the return of Shuixiang is only a matter of time...

Zhao Qi looked out the window and slowly exhaled.

After this period of time, he can finally relax a little.

……

At the same time, after Commander Jiang and Minister Tang returned to the Provincial Military Headquarters, the provincial and ministerial staff who had been paying attention to Kunlun's situation started waiting downstairs in advance.

As soon as Commander Jiang got out of the car, they surrounded him.

"Commander Jiang, what's the situation?"

"Commander, is Zhao Qi okay?"

Commander Jiang felt helpless because of the numerous voices:
"Let's go to the meeting room first, don't be in a hurry..."

After Commander Jiang spoke, the others naturally had no objections and headed for the meeting room.

In the conference room, everyone was still discussing this matter.

The Minister of Armed Forces was the first to guess:

"I saw that Commander Jiang didn't seem to be dissatisfied when he came back. So things shouldn't have gotten seriously worse, right?"

The Minister of Military Affairs thought about it and shook his head:

"Why do I feel that things are not that simple? What Zhao Qi is dealing with is not a trivial matter. It is really hard to say..." A colonel paused and said:

"I think Zhao Qi should be able to handle it. After all, Commander Jiang seemed quite calm after returning."

While several people were talking, Deputy Commander Huang Gang walked into the conference room and sat down.

Like several other ministers, he had no idea about the outcome of Commander Jiang's handling of Zhao Qi.

This made several ministers give up their plans to extract some information from Huang Gang.

Fortunately, Commander Jiang did not make them wait too long and came to the conference room with Minister Tang.

Looking at everyone, Commander Jiang said slowly:

"It seems that everyone is very concerned about Zhao Qi's affairs. Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Several people laughed, and the Minister of Armed Forces spoke directly:
"Commander Jiang, we have watched Zhao Qi grow from the time he first joined the army to where he is today, and we have even trained him as our successor. Now that he is involved in such a big matter, we are of course a little worried. There is a shortage of highly educated people right now, and if something happens to Zhao Qi, we will try our best to help him..."

The Minister of Armed Forces expressed the thoughts of the other people. But in the end, everyone knew that the statement about the high-level intellectuals was just a high-sounding excuse made by the Minister of Armed Forces.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Commander Jiang smiled and said:
"I don't know you yet? Is it just because Zhao Qi is a highly educated person?"

The Minister of Armed Forces couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, everyone, don't worry. Zhao Qi has already proved to me the necessity of the 788 Exploration Team and the reason for going to Shuixiang privately..."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then they all showed looks of confusion.

They were very puzzled as to how Zhao Qi could have caused such a big change in Commander Jiang's attitude.

Huang Gang frowned and asked:

"Commander Jiang, you were still furious when you left, but after you came back, it seemed like you were on Zhao Qi's side?"

Upon hearing this, Commander Jiang said meaningfully:

"Old Zhao, if you saw what we saw, you would probably have the same attitude as me."

After hearing this, several people looked at each other, and were very curious about what Commander Jiang said.

Commander Jiang gave Minister Tang a look, and Minister Tang stood up, understanding what he meant.

"Everyone, at first Commander Jiang and I were indeed puzzled by some of Captain Zhao Qi's actions. But until that night, we saw..."

Then, Minister Tang briefly recounted the events of that night when he summoned the gods to slay the dragon.

Amidst everyone's increasingly shocked gazes, Minister Tang said slowly:
"Because of this, Commander Jiang and I realized that we had misunderstood him before..."

After Minister Tang sat down, the room was still silent. Some ministers could not believe their ears.

Huang Gang even looked directly at Commander Jiang:

"Commander Jiang, is what Minister Tang said true?"

Commander Jiang nodded gently:

"Old Zhao, my reaction at that time was the same as yours. However, as the commander of an army, I can assure you that..."

What Minister Tang said just now is all true.

After that, although I still don’t quite understand the matter of the national destiny dragon vein, after all, it is too ethereal and can’t be seen with my own eyes, but after witnessing their amazing abilities with my own eyes, I believe that what Zhao Qi said is true, and it is necessary to form the 788 exploration team..."

As he spoke, Commander Jiang patiently repeated what Zhao Qi had said earlier.

Although several people were confused by what they heard, Commander Jiang's attitude was clearly revealed.

Like Commander Jiang, they only had a vague understanding of what Zhao Qi said.

They have no concept of dragon veins or national destiny.

After all, we are all old, how can we understand these mysterious things thoroughly in a short period of time?

As if he had noticed the awkward atmosphere in the meeting room, Huang Gang took the initiative to speak:
“Although I don’t quite understand what this means, as long as Commander Jiang understands, then at least Zhao Qi will be fine.

Everyone, you can finally rest assured..."

After Huang Gang said this, several people immediately agreed and nodded with a smile.

Commander Jiang was also a little embarrassed. In fact, he didn't quite understand it. Those things were too mysterious. He had not been exposed to them much, so how could he understand them all at once? He just knew that Zhao Qi was right.

He looked at everyone and said:

“Everyone, Captain Zhao Qi once said that dragon veins and national destiny are the foundation of a country. This concept is not difficult to understand.

Moreover, the strength demonstrated by Captain Zhao Qi and his 788 Exploration Team is beyond doubt."

After hearing what Commander Jiang said, several people nodded.

The Minister of Political Affairs thought for a moment and said:

"Since Commander Jiang has said so, we naturally have no objection to this matter."

The Minister of Military Affairs also nodded:

"That's right, this team must be extraordinary to be recognized by Commander Jiang!"

Commander Jiang said meaningfully:

“That’s right, Captain Zhao Qi is an expert. Although some of his opinions are difficult to understand, they definitely make sense.

After all, before we saw it with our own eyes, Minister Tang and I would never believe that there is such a thing as asking a god to slay a dragon in the world."

Commander Jiang's words once again caused the entire place to fall silent.

If someone else said this, they would definitely not believe it.

But the one who said this was Commander Jiang...

Ask the gods to slay the dragon, and the fox demon will possess you.

If Commander Jiang hadn't said these words, they would never have believed them.

But at least Commander Jiang’s attitude was very clear. Zhao Qi was a hero, and they all contributed to it.

After all, he had secretly supported Zhao Qi at the most critical moment.

All cities in the province tried their best to find what Zhao Qi wanted, and they were under considerable pressure during this period.

Now that Zhao Qi has overcome the difficulties and become a hero, they are naturally also happy about it.

Looking at everyone present, Commander Jiang said slowly:
“The main purpose of this meeting is to reassure everyone.

The Provincial Military Department will not impose any punishment on Captain Zhao Qi.

On the contrary, I will restore the ranks of the 788th Exploration Team that were stripped, and prepare to hold a commendation meeting for them!"

Commander Jiang's words caused everyone to applaud after a moment of silence.

They were all happy for Zhao Qi, which might be a blessing in disguise.

Looking at everyone, Commander Jiang said thoughtfully:

“Currently, the commendation ceremony is scheduled for three days later.

At that time, Zhao Qi and the 788 Exploration Team will come. At that time, everyone's doubts can be answered by Captain Zhao Qi. (End of this chapter)
