Him and their stars

Twenty-two-year-old Yu Lian received the news that he was promoted to major at the private residence of Keith Nichta, Chairman of the National Defense Committee, at 21:25 on the night of March 13, and received the news the next day. A formal command file.

However, less than three weeks had passed before he received a formal order for promotion again.

Yu Lian didn't know if there was any example in the history of the community where people were promoted so quickly, but he must be the one among the active-duty soldiers who stayed at the rank of major for the shortest time. It was so short that it seemed like child's play. It is estimated that the National Defense Commission and the Military Department also understood this, so the time for issuing the order was specifically chosen on April 2.

It was a day in advance, so it would definitely be regarded as a bad prank.

When Yu Lian received the order, he was still at the Blue Guard headquarters in Eternal City, discussing the next training plan for the psykers with senior officials, including Major General Mallowan.

After a brief period of astonishment, everyone stood up to congratulate Yu Lian.

"Look, as I said, the fig leaf on your collar badge won't last long." Major General Mallowan said to Yu Lien.

"Yes! I originally liked this leaf, but when I got to lieutenant colonel, I would change it to a flashy golden four-leaf clover. It always felt very tasteless." Yu Lian sighed.

This is really true. Among the military rank badges below general, the one that best suits Yu Lian's aesthetics is the silver fig leaf with a gold frame, which is the rank of major. However, whether this would be regarded as Versailles by others present had nothing to do with him.

"However, this is understandable. Our community and all the other countries in the galaxy are countries that worship geniuses." Major General Mallowan smiled again: "Moreover, under normal personnel arrangements, third-ring psykers are You should enjoy the rank and treatment of a colonel. You are now a lieutenant colonel, and you have done your best by the personnel department, right? That’s why I asked you to wait for your relatives and friends, or at least wait for the personnel department. "

You can't just stay for a few hours at each level, right? If this was really done, wouldn't the organization's personnel system be in a mess? Now that I have been a major for three weeks, I guess the personnel department has suffered a lot.

However, I have achieved the fourth ring now. According to normal treatment, shouldn’t I be awarded a general star? Yu Lian thought to himself, as long as I am promoted quickly enough, the organizational system of personnel appointment and dismissal will be embarrassed forever. Wouldn't it be wonderful?

"...However, since the new official position has been handed down, the new appointment should also be here, right?" Major General Mallowan said.

Yu Lian nodded. He guessed that when he arrived at the Personnel Department, he would find people from the Foreign Affairs Department waiting there.

"Alas, the ambitious genius will eventually run into unknown distances and leave behind the comrades you have been with day and night! Is this the crushing of ideals by realism? Bring me a drink, I want to toast the universe Spirit, you still have to respect this real miserable world!" Sister Mallowan began to touch her crystal eyes again and began to cry.

Fortunately, the senior officers of the Community Guard who were present were quite accustomed to the eldest sister's behavior, so they ignored her and went back to discussing business matters.

"The so-called Four Symbols Tactics... Damn it, why is this name still so shameful?" Yu Lian sighed.

"I think it's quite good. We are psykers, so of course we must have the mystery of psykers." Lieutenant Colonel Nani looked at a large number of Tai Chi diagrams, Buddha statues, crosses, crescent moon symbols, etc. hanging on his chest. Wait, I think you can consider adding a string of amulets in the shape of four elephants.

Yu Lian really wanted to ask when this guy's taste disappeared, but considering the long list hanging around this guy's neck, he probably would only get a confused face even if he asked, so he could only ask. I rolled my eyes mentally and then changed the topic back to normal.

"In short, a combat unit of four people is the basis of this, uh, four-image tactic. However, some talents with special talents or skills do not need to limit their actions, and must formulate corresponding guerrilla tactics. In addition, some talents with special talents or skills do not need to limit their actions. , depending on the battlefield situation and the enemies faced, the four-man combat unit can be transformed into eight, sixteen, thirty-two people, and so on. I have already formulated the tactical direction in this regard. It’s up to you to make it specific and perfect.”

"Oh, this is the so-called Four Symbols Generate Bagua, and Bagua Generates All Things, right?" Colonel Chaimen's eyes lit up: "So, when it can be expanded into a large formation with more than 128 people, it can be named All Things Are Born. Are you ready?"

Yu Lian didn't want to say anything anymore and could only look at the other person with vain eyes. Colonel Chaimen suddenly felt insulted and said seriously: "Why are you looking at me like that? I...Okay, It is true that I am not good at foreign languages ​​and science, but I have also carefully studied the classics of the three religions and the art of war."

This has nothing to do with the classics of the three religions. It can only be said to be the racial talent of the Japanese people.

"In addition, Sister Natalia Elinko...Master Elinko is playing on the earth recently. I saw that she was also idle, so I invited her to stay for a while and treat her as a special instructor of our Blue Guard. Bar."

"Red...Red Shura!" Everyone present was shocked, and then overjoyed.

This eldest sister's reputation is even greater than that of the former commander Wang Jingyang.

"But, isn't it said that she has little interest in worldly things?" Major General Mallowan said.

"So if you stay for a month at most, how much you can learn from her depends on your ability."

In fact, what Yu Lian said to Miss Elinco was that since we were almost reaching the seventh ring, it was better to practice in a different way. For example, if a person beats a group of people, if he beats him a few more times, he might make new discoveries.

Although Miss Hong Shura felt that Yu Lian's words were not very convincing, she had indeed felt that her progress had stagnated recently. Since she couldn't find another boss to kill for a while, it would be a good idea to change the gameplay. Who can say that stones from other mountains cannot attack jade?

"So, in order to welcome our new instructors, we must come out with a new mental outlook. Commander Chaimen, tell the entire army that tonight we will complete a 100-kilometer armed training! From here to the northernmost island of Ke'ai .”

Colonel Chaimen was about to agree energetically, but then he realized something seemed wrong: "Wait, wait...run?"

"Yes! We are all psychics. Don't tell me that I haven't learned how to float on water! This is the best way to train your psychic control! It's low-carbon, environmentally friendly and healthy! If I really couldn't, I would Our goal is to let everyone learn it.”

Anyway, the report is tomorrow. And the National Defense Commission building is right next door, so I still have a whole day to have fun with everyone.

The next day, under the weak eyes of hundreds of psykers who had been completely hollowed out, the energetic Yu Lian left the base with a step of disowning his relatives, and then went straight to the office building of the National Defense Commission and went up to the first floor. The Human Resources Department on the 46th floor.

Then, in a small ceremonial hall of the Personnel Department, two officers in uniform and two civilians in civilian clothes presided over a brief promotion ceremony and replaced the gold-framed fig leaves on Yu Lian's collar badge with four golden ones. Leaf clover.

Of course, if this kind of ceremony was held just for him, it would be a bit stressful even with Yu Lian's shame. In fact, there were twenty other officers promoted with him, all at the school level. However, Yu Lian is indeed the youngest person present.

Mr. Nishita, Chairman of the Defense Council, was of course not there. After all, it was just a promotion to a school-level officer. If he showed up again, it would seem too deliberate.

However, although the Chairman of the Generalissimo is not here, the Minister of Personnel Department of the National Defense Council, Mr. Pekel, is. He smiled brightly, grabbed Yu Lian's hand with his chubby palm and shook it vigorously.

"Your Majesty, you have really set a new record for a Major! I hope you can also set a new record for a Lieutenant Colonel."

What is there to refresh this kind of record? In addition to proving that the personnel organization is about to get out of control, is it possible to win a gold medal?

Yu Lian thought. However, he finally did not say these words. You must know that the officers present, whose average age was twice his own, were already looking at him with envy and jealousy.

Lieutenant colonel is an unattainable class for the vast majority of "non-professionals" who have transitioned from soldiers to officers. Otherwise, why would there be so many "old captains" in the military.

In addition, even for most of the "bureaucrats" who have graduated from military academies, their service period has come to an end. They will spend their career in the military, and then when they are about to retire, they will pay the last colonel for their hard work. After all, the treatment of a general and the title "Your Excellency" are still very valuable. Naturally, the National Defense Commission and the Military Department will deliberately control the number of people.

Of course, for the "Moon Man", this may be just a transition point that he will definitely experience during his service period.

However, for Yu Lian, who was just twenty-two years old, it seemed like a starting point.

No wonder the other officers present acted a little awkward. If they hadn't all reached the age of a wealthy man, and the Minister of Personnel was so friendly, I'm afraid some of them would have said something strange directly.

Minister Pekel, who is as round as an inflatable ball, is fifty-five years old and is in charge of the promotion and personnel transfer of all military officers. In theory, even a marshal should be polite in front of him.

Minister Peker's reputation in the military is actually not very good. It is said that he is a veteran bureaucrat who pays great attention to his status. He usually bosses around his subordinates and ordinary officers and is quite domineering and mean. Of course, maybe it was because the rumors were wrong, but at this moment, he was as enthusiastic as Santa Claus holding gifts, and his small green bean-like eyes were filled with friendly, even kind eyes.

"Lieutenant Colonel, after the ceremony here is over, prepare to accept new orders. Hahaha, consider this a wonderful holiday. You are such a lucky young man. I am also fascinated by the magnificence of the sky. It’s been a long time. Especially this year there is such a grand event. It’s a pity that I am really busy with mundane tasks and can’t rest in peace! However, you are also a warrior who has fought on the front line and made brilliant achievements, so this is also a deserved blessing.”

Minister Pekel's voice was hearty and majestic, but it always seemed to be mixed with a little condescension, as if he was giving out grace.

This should be a small trick. Mr. Minister is also a close friend of the Chairman, so he will naturally know that the Chairman attaches great importance to Yu Lian. The reason why he is acting like this now is, on the one hand, to express goodwill to Yu Lian, and on the other hand, it should also be conveying a message to him. Even in the "Nishita" faction, Yu Lian is a junior, and he is the senior.

Yu Lian knew what this person was thinking and didn't feel offended at all, but he just found it so funny that he wanted to laugh. For a veteran like Pekel, all his growth is probably focused on this aspect, and he will only have this kind of potential and pattern in his life.

If I really want to be on the same level as him, I will be the one who is inferior.
