Chapter 638: Connections
After Chen Xing entered the senior officers' conference room, he immediately saw Commander-in-Chief Li Zhengye studying the strategic map at his desk. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Obviously, the Worm Tide War has just ended, and a lot of finishing work has not yet been completed, and as the commander-in-chief, he can't relax for a moment.
Li Zhengye is obviously thinner than more than a month ago, the wrinkles on his face have increased, and the silver strands in his hair are also looming.
This insect tide war has left him exhausted.
In the absence of foreign aid and the internal mud, it is not easy for him to let the Splendid Forest Legion hold on for so long.
If Li Zhengye had not been in charge of the Splendid Forest Legion, the consequences of the entire northern territory could have been imagined.
The reason why Chen Xing was able to lead the troops to exterminate the insect tide army this time was also inseparable from Li Zhengye's trust and persistence.
Chen Xing knocked on his heels, held his head high, and raised his hand to salute: "Good commander-in-chief!" The leader of the Hellfire Legion's vanguard formation and the ghost hand formation, Second Lieutenant Chen Xing, was ordered to report! ”
When Li Zhengye heard Chen Xing's voice, he immediately raised his head happily, his eyes were full of excitement and joy that had not been seen for a long time: "Hahaha! Chen Xing! It's good to come! It's good to come! ”
Li Zhengye bypassed the table, walked to Chen Xing's side in a few steps, gave Chen Xing a standard military salute, and personally grabbed Chen Xing's arm and asked Chen Xing to put his hand down.
"I haven't seen you for more than a month, Chen Xing, you have become stronger again!"
"Your mission on Fiery Cross has been completed very beautifully, I have already heard Teacher Xiang Fan tell me!"
"This insect tide war, you should also be the first to work!"
"Come on, come on, sit down first! Sit next to me! ”
As he spoke, Li Zhengye couldn't help but pull Chen Xing to the conference table and pressed him to the position of the legion commander Luo Changqing.
Chen Xing did not refuse, and sat down calmly.
At this time, Luo Changqing and the others walked into the conference room, and they were all taken aback when they saw Chen Xing sitting in the position of the commander of the legion.
Although Chen Xing has made great contributions, according to the rank of officials, he should not sit in front of Colonel Luo Changqing's corps commander!
Luo Changqing's face was blue and white, and he wanted to fight on the basis of reason, but in front of the commander-in-chief Li Zhengye, he didn't have the courage to fight.
He could only sit down beside Chen Xing's subordinates, while the other senior officers could only sneer and take a position back from each other.
"Chen Xing, you have made such a great contribution this time, I have already asked my superiors to award you a first-class battle merit. But I think that's not enough. Tell me, what do you want? ”
Li Zhengye said with a smile on his face: "No matter what you want, I will do my best to satisfy you!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone present suddenly focused on Chen Xing.
This kind of treatment is obviously the envy of everyone.
However, envy is envy, but no one is dissatisfied with it.
Chen Xing relied on his true ability to obtain such an honor, and no one can be unconvinced.
I saw Chen Xing smile faintly, "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, I have three requirements. ”
The senior officers present were stunned for a moment.
If it were them, they would be humble and say something like "this is what I should do."
However, Chen Xing didn't say a word of nonsense, but made a request to Commander-in-Chief Li Zhengye with confidence.
And not just one requirement, but three.
Li Zhengye laughed, "Okay, Chen Xing!" I just like your kind of temper when you have something to say and go straight! It's yours, and you can take it for granted! What kind of courage and open-mindedness is this? If you were someone else, you would have pretended to be for a long time and grinded for a long time! You say, don't say it's three requirements, it's thirty! Three hundred requests, my northern border army will not hesitate to agree to you. ”
Chen Xing smiled, "Thirty or three hundred is not necessary, only three are needed." ”
"The first requirement is to apply for combat merits for the ghost hand formation."
Li Zhengye immediately said: "I'm already doing this, I not only apply for the combat merits of the soldiers who died in the ghost hand formation, but also apply for the fifth-class combat merits for all the soldiers who died in this insect tide war!" ”
The senior officers present nodded their heads one after another, their faces showing approval.
Although the fifth-class military merit is considered low in the military merit level, it can be obtained as a border army, and its family members can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, and enjoy extremely high resident treatment.
The last time Chen Xing killed Zhou Ming, he only won a fifth-rank battle merit.
The difference is that Chen Xing received the fifth-class combat merit alive, while the martyrs of the Northern Border Army were awarded the fifth-class combat merit after they died.
Chen Xing shook his head, "Commander-in-chief, you apply for fifth-class combat merits for other fallen martyrs, that is what they deserve. My request now is just to apply for battle merits for the Ghost Hand Formation. Whether it is a living ghost hand soldier or a martyr of the ghost hand who sacrificed, they all took the initiative to enter the Four Winds Mausoleum and fight against the insect tide army at the forefront! It is no exaggeration to say that without them, we would not be victorious today. Therefore, my first request is for the commander-in-chief to apply for collective combat merit for them. ”
Li Zhengye nodded heavily: "I understand what you mean, Chen Xing." ”
"In terms of military exploits, any martyr of the Northern Frontier Army who sacrificed his life will enjoy fifth-class military exploits. In addition, the Hellfire Legion's Ghost Hand Formation and Pioneer Formation, because of their tenacious and brave combat, also enjoy collective fourth-class combat exploits! Tan Zhong, the captain of the original ghost hand formation, enjoys the third-class combat exploits! Chen Xing, you are the greatest hero of this war, so you enjoy the first-class combat exploits! ”
"Of course, so many military exploits need to be reported to the king and military minister of the Zhulu Empire for approval, but as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Frontier Army, I will fight hard for you to win these military exploits for you."
Chen Xingzhengse said: "It doesn't matter if I have my own military exploits, but please ask the commander-in-chief to apply for the combat exploits of my comrades-in-arms." ”
Li Zhengye said: "Okay! I promise you this one request! ”
The senior officers present whispered:
"Chen Xing really dares to ask for it!"
"The Ghost Hand Formation and the Pioneer Formation belong to him now, and he even asked for fourth-class combat merits for his subordinates!"
"Fourth-class combat merit, that's equivalent to the treatment of the mayor level!"
"We have been a major for so many years, and we have never enjoyed the treatment of fourth-class combat merits!"
"Hmph, what else do you say that your first-class combat exploits don't matter? First-class combat merit is equivalent to the treatment of the commander-in-chief of the border army, will Chen Xing himself want it? ”
"I think he's just pretending."
"Chen Xing's personal strength is indeed very strong, but if he is given such great achievements, then what is our efforts?"
"Yes! If it weren't for the Iron Banner and the Iron Banner Army, what would Chen Xing do to win this insect tide war? ”
These high-ranking officers whispered one after another, but none of them dared to stand up and say it clearly.
Chen Xing listened to all their words clearly.
He smiled coldly, "Everyone here seems to be very unconvinced, huh? Any of you, I won't say if you can get the help of the Iron Banner Army, as long as you can let the big boss Zhuang Shisan answer your call, my battle achievements will be all given to you! ”
There was silence in the conference room.
Indeed, what he says is powerful, but who can have Chen Xing's connections?
Connections are also part of strength!
