At 21:25 on the evening of March 13, Yu Lian, 22 years old, received the news of his promotion to major at the private residence of Keith Nichta, chairman of the National Defense Committee, and received the official order document the next day.

However, less than three weeks later, he received another formal order for promotion.

Yu Lian didn't know if there was an example of the community being promoted so quickly in history, but he must be the person who stayed in the rank of major the shortest time among the active soldiers, and it was as short as child's play. It is estimated that the National Defense Committee and the military department also understand this, so the time for the order to be issued was deliberately chosen on April 2.

It's a day in advance, and it's sure to be treated as a prank without a product.

While Yu was on command, he was still at the Blue Guard Headquarters in Eternal City, discussing the next step for the psionics with high-level officials, including Major General Mallorwin.

After a brief period of consternation, everyone got up to congratulate Yu Lian.

"You see, as I said, this fig leaf on your collar badge won't last long." Major General Mallovin said to Yu Lian.

"Yes! I used to like this leaf, but when I get to the lieutenant colonel, I will change to a flashy golden four-leaf clover, which always feels particularly tasteless. Yu Lian sighed.

This is really the truth, the rank and collar badge below the general, the most in line with Yu Lian's aesthetics, is indeed the silver fig leaf with a golden border, that is, the rank of major. However, whether this will be regarded as Versailles by the others present is irrelevant to him.

"It's understandable, though. Our community and all the other countries of the galaxy are genius-worshipping countries. Major General Mallovin smiled again: "Moreover, with normal personnel arrangements, the psionic people of the Third Ring should enjoy the rank and treatment of colonels." You're only a lieutenant colonel now, and it's already the best effort of the personnel department, right? That's why I told you to wait for your relatives and friends, and at least for the HR department. ”

You can't just stay for a few hours on each level, right? If this is the case, won't the organization's personnel system be in shambles? Now that I have been a major for three weeks, it is estimated that the personnel department has suffered a lot.

However, I'm now four-ring, shouldn't I be a star according to normal treatment? Yu Lian thought to himself, as long as I am promoted fast enough, I can always make the organizational system of personnel appointment and dismissal embarrassing, isn't it beautiful?

“…… However, since the new official position has come down, the new appointment should also arrive, right? Major General Mallovin said.

Yu Lian nodded. He guessed that when he arrived at the Human Resources Office, he would find people from the foreign affairs department waiting there.

"Alas, ambitious geniuses, after all, still have to run to the unknown distance, and leave behind your comrades-in-arms who get along day and night! Is this the crushing of ideals by realism? Bring wine, I want to respect the spirit of the universe, and I want to respect this miserable world of reality! Big Sister Mallorwin began to touch her crystal eyes again, and began to cry.

Fortunately, the senior officers of the Community Guard present were quite accustomed to the eldest sister's behavior, so they ignored each other and directly discussed the business on their own.

"The so-called Four Elephants Tactic...... Why, why is this name still so shameful. Yu Lian snorted.

"I think it's pretty good. We are psionics, so of course we need to have a sense of mystery. Lieutenant Colonel Nani looked at the large number of Taijitu Buddha statues, cross crescent moon charms, etc., hanging on his chest, and felt that he could consider adding a string of amulets in the shape of four elephants or something.

Yu Lian really wanted to ask when this guy's taste disappeared, but considering the long list hanging around this guy's neck, it is estimated that even if he asked, he could only get a confused face, so he could only roll his eyes in his heart, and then turn the topic back to a normal place.

"In short, a four-man unit is the basis of this, uh, four-elephant tactics, but there are people with special talents or skills, so it is not necessary to limit their movements, but to develop corresponding guerrilla tactics. In addition, depending on the situation of the battlefield and the enemy faced, a four-person combat unit can be transformed into eight, sixteen, and thirty-two, and so on. I have already drawn up a book of tactical directions in this area, and it is up to you to refine them. ”

"Oh, this is the so-called four elephants give birth to gossip, gossip gives birth to all things, right?" Colonel Chaimen's eyes lit up: "So, when it can be derived into a large array of more than one hundred and twenty-eight people, it can be named the All Things Innate Array?" ”

Yu Lian didn't want to say anything, so he could only look at the other party with vain eyes, Colonel Chaimen suddenly felt insulted, and said seriously: "Why do you want to look at me like this?" I...... Well, it's true that I'm not good at foreign languages and science, but I've also seriously 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 that it is the racial talent of the Dongying people.

"Also, recently Sister Natalia Erinko ...... Master Erinko was playing on Earth, and I saw that she was idle, so I asked her to come over for a while, as a special instructor for our Blue Guard. ”

"Red ...... Red Asura! The people present were shocked, and then rejoiced.

This eldest sister's card is even bigger than the previous commander Wang Jingyang.

"But isn't it said that she has no interest in worldly things?" Major General Mallovin said.

"So if you stay for a month at most, how much you can learn from her old man depends on everyone's ability."

In fact, what Yu Lian said to Miss Erinko was that since she was about to reach the Seventh Ring, it was better to practice in a different way. For example, if one person beats up a group of people, and several more times, maybe something new will be discovered.

Although Miss Hong Shura felt that Yu Lian's words were not too convincing, she did feel the stagnation of progress recently, and since there was no way to find another boss to cut for a while, it was not impossible to change the way to play. Who can say that the stones of other mountains cannot be used to attack jade?

"Therefore, in order to welcome everyone's new instructors, we must come out with a new mental outlook, Commander Chaimen, tell the whole army, tonight we will have an entire 100-kilometer armed training! From here to the northernmost island of Koai. ”

Colonel Chaimen was just about to agree very energetically, but then he realized that something seemed wrong: "Wait, wait...... Run? ”

"Yes! They're all psionics, don't tell me you haven't learned how to float on water! This is the best way to train your psionic control! Low-carbon, environmentally friendly and healthy! If not, my goal today is for everyone to learn. ”

Anyway, tomorrow is the time to report. And the National Defense Commission building is right next door, so there's still a whole day to play with everyone.

The next day, under the weak gaze of hundreds of psykers who were completely hollowed out, the refreshed Yu Lian left the base with steps that he did not recognize, and then went straight to the office building of the National Defense Commission and went up to the personnel department on the 46th floor.

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

Of course, if this kind of ceremony was held just for him, even with Yu Lian's shame, it would be a bit stressful. In fact, along with him, there were twenty other officers, all of whom were of the rank of colonel. It's just that Yu Lian is indeed the youngest person present.

The Chairman of the National Defense Committee, Mr. Nichta, is certainly not there. After all, it was only a promotion of a colonel-level officer, and if he appeared again, it would be too deliberate.

However, although His Excellency the Chairman of the Committee was not there, Mr., the Minister of Personnel of the National Defense Committee, was. He smiled and shook Yang's hand vigorously with his chubby palm.

"Your lord has really refreshed the history of the major's tenure! I'm looking forward to you breaking the lieutenant colonel's record as well. ”

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. But he finally didn't say it, you know, the officers present who were twice the average age of himself were already looking at him with envy, jealousy and hatred.

Lieutenant colonel is an unattainable class for the vast majority of the "non-professional group" who have turned from soldiers to officers, otherwise why would there be so many "old captains" in the army.

In addition, even for most of the "bureaucratic groups" who graduated from military schools, it is the end of the service period. They will spend their careers in the army, and then, when they are about to retire, they will be paid for their hard work by the previous colonel. After all, the treatment of generals, the title of "Your Excellency" is still very valuable, and the National Defense Committee and the military department will naturally deliberately control the number of people.

Of course, for the "moon man", this may only be a transition point that must be experienced during the service period.

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

No wonder the rest of the officers present behaved a little awkwardly. If it weren't for the fact that they were all old enough to have a city government, and Mr. Minister of Personnel was so friendly, I am afraid that someone would have to say something strange directly.

The round, balloon-like Minister, who is fifty-five years old, is in charge of the promotions and transfers of all officers. Theoretically, even a marshal has to be polite in front of him.

Minister is actually not very good in the military, and it is said that he is a veteran bureaucrat who pays great attention to his status. Of course, maybe it's because the rumors are wrong, but at this time, he is as enthusiastic as a Santa Claus holding a gift, and his little green bean-like eyes are full of friendliness and even kindness.

"Lieutenant Colonel, when the ceremony here is over, let's get ready to take new orders. Hahaha, this is a good holiday, you are really a lucky young man, the magnificence of the heavens, I have been fascinated for a long time. Especially this year, there is such a grand event. It's a pity that I'm really entangled in chores, and I can't be at peace! However, you are also a warrior who has fought on the front line and made brilliant feats, which is also a blessing. ”

Minister's voice was hearty and dignified, but it always seemed to be mixed with a touch of condescension, as if he were giving grace.

This must be a small kind of rhetoric. Mr. Minister is also a sworn friend of His Excellency the Chairman of the National Committee, so he will naturally know that the Chairman attaches great importance to Yu Lian. The reason why he is doing this now, on the one hand, is to express goodwill to Yu Lian, and on the other hand, it should also convey a meaning to him, even in the "Nichta" faction, Yu Lian is also a junior, he is a senior.

Yu Lian knew what this person was thinking, and he didn't feel offended at all, but he only felt so funny that he wanted to laugh. An old fritter like, all the growth is estimated to be in this aspect, and there is only this point of interest and pattern in this life.

I really want to see him in the same way, and the low one is myself.
