Chapter 167: Promotion to Second Lieutenant
. Shumilou.CoM.Shumilou.Co
"The superior ordered the defense personnel to enter a state of combat readiness to prevent the mutant from attacking, but not to take the initiative to attack the mutant, and other military affairs should be carried out in accordance with normal procedures." At this time, an order came from the walkie-talkie, and because everyone was equipped with walkie-talkies, the order could be accurately conveyed to everyone.
Hong Yi heard some doorways from this order.
It was only on alert, but it was not allowed to take the initiative to attack, and it was not even ordered to assemble all the troops to fight, which obviously explained something, that is, the superiors also knew about the arrival of those mutants around them, but they did not take it seriously, and even just routinely issued a combat readiness order.
It's like they've known for a long time that those mutants won't attack on their own.
Since it doesn't affect normal things, Hong Yi still has to go to a military meeting.
When he arrived at the place, Hong Yi found that it was full of officers from the No. 7 gathering place, there were more than 30 non-commissioned officers alone, more than a dozen captain-level officers, and five colonel-level officers.
The highest rank was a lieutenant colonel, and to Hong Yi's surprise, Red Shadow was also there.
Seeing herself come in, she also cast a grateful look, Hong Yi knew that it was because she had retrieved the big sword for her.
Hong Yi stood in the column of the Master Chief, and looked around, Hong Yi knew that the number of officers was much smaller than when he came, and the reason was because of the giant worm mutant he had encountered before.
In that battle, their casualties had already exceeded 100, and even more than a dozen officers died, including two colonel-level officers.
In comparison, the losses of officers are still more, and this meeting is to decide to add officers, and there are still many soldiers in some squadrons and even brigades. But the commander is gone, and in this case it is impossible to carry out combat missions.
In general, the appointment of officers. At least the military division needs a nod to do it, but now this is the case. It can only be decided by these people present, and the decision is in the hands of those colonel-level officers.
After a colonel-level officer said the theme of this meeting, everyone at the scene was a little excited. Obviously, who wouldn't want to go further? A higher military rank is not only an increase in status, but also an increase in treatment. Even the number of soldiers in his hands will increase, and now in this situation, everyone is willing to climb to a higher position.
Even Hong Yi had the same idea, of course, he was thinking more about Decree No. 1, because Nuwa had vaguely reminded that if her military rank was higher, then she could provide more information and authority that she could not provide before.
Thinking of this, Hong Yi looked at Lin Yun who was sitting in front, she was one of the few school-level officers. With her, she should be able to get some benefits.
Hong Yi was only the lowest-ranking non-commissioned officer chief, so he couldn't intervene in the decision-making of the meeting at all. And Lin Yun really spoke for himself, this time they decided to draw some people from the non-commissioned officer chief to supplement the captain-level officers, there are a total of five positions, all of them are second lieutenant officers, Hong Yi also became one of the candidates under Lin Yun's nomination.
The second lieutenant officer can control at least three squadrons of soldiers, that is, more than sixty people, in addition, there is also a squad of combat robots to control the authority. So the competition is fierce.
The whole process can be said to be ups and downs, but Hong Yi still succeeded in ascending to the position with the help of Lin Yun. Become one of the five ensign officers.
Temporarily promoted ensign officers can get soldiers from two other squadrons in addition to the original subordinate soldiers. The new appointment will soon be communicated to the soldiers to whom they belong.
"Now is the first level of combat readiness, everyone is ready to fight at any time, newly promoted officers, immediately gather your subordinates, and wait for combat orders at any time." After the lieutenant colonel officer finished speaking, he announced the adjournment of the meeting.
There is no superfluous nonsense, everything is based on practicality.
With the rank of second lieutenant on his shoulder, Hong Yi returned to the barracks and immediately asked Wen Jin and Jiao Yong to notify the soldiers of the 15th and 22nd squadrons to come and assemble.
The two squadrons obviously returned to Hong Yi, and seeing that Hong Yi had become a second lieutenant, Wen Jin and Jiao Yong both had bright eyes, and immediately saluted and went to carry out the order, and a few minutes later, the soldiers of the three squadrons had already assembled.
Looking at the more than sixty soldiers in front of him, Hong Yi nodded, from now on, these people are under his own command, to be honest, it is still a little cool, the military department is different from other places, and the gold content of a second lieutenant officer is quite high.
Looking at the neatly lined up soldiers below, Hong Yi knew that he had to show a certain strength, otherwise it would be impossible to convince the public, especially the two squadrons that had just been merged.
So Hong Yi didn't talk nonsense, and said coldly directly: "Whether you are convinced or not, from today on, I am your commander, if anyone is not convinced, come out now, I will give you this opportunity, no matter who it is, no matter how many people there are, if you can defeat me, I will immediately apply to my superiors to exchange for the person who wins to sit in my seat." ”
After speaking, Hong Yi paused and glanced at the more than sixty people with sharp eyes.
At this time, Hong Yi released his coercion, and the long-term fight with the mutants gave him a sense of majesty, and none of the more than sixty soldiers below dared to face Hong Yi head-on.
These newly merged soldiers are not ignorant of Hong Yi, at least they know that in the previous battle of the giant worm mutant, Hong Yi and his squadron were one of the few squadrons without any casualties, and it can be seen from this alone that this commander is not simple, at least, he takes good care of his subordinates.
In addition, they also heard about Hong Yi's defeat of five White Star Level 2 veterans with one enemy and five.
Not to mention anything else, just for this reason, no one dared to challenge his authority, because all of them, the highest evolution level is only the second level of the white star, and they can defeat five white star level two, which are at least the third level of the white star evolutionary, just in terms of evolution level, Hong Yi is qualified to become a lieutenant-level officer.
Seeing that no one spoke, Hong Yi smiled, obviously, this is what he wanted.
At such times, he must establish his own majesty, otherwise his subordinates will definitely not be able to carry out his orders very efficiently.
"Since no one raises objections, then from now on, you will unconditionally carry out my orders, disband now, rotate and rest in squadron formation, and wait for orders." After Hong Yi finished speaking, he asked the soldiers to go down to rest, of course, the so-called rest is also wearing clothes and carrying weapons, because it is a first-level combat readiness, as long as an order is given, it will be immediately put into battle.
At this time, Hong Yi's heart moved, and he sensed the breath of smoke fart.
"You two are staring here, I'll get out there!" Hong Yi said a word to Wen Jin and Jiao Yong and left the camp.
In a remote place, Hong Yi saw a smoke fart.
In Yanfart's hand, he held a fist-sized, completely turquoise brain crystal, Hong Yi looked at it and immediately knew that this should be the brain crystal of the giant worm mutant before.
Hong Yi took it and looked at it, and found that this brain crystal was just a fragment, obviously the original brain crystal was larger, this brain crystal belonged to the big demon level mutant, and it was the highest level brain crystal that Hong Yi had obtained so far.
Holding it in your hand, you can easily feel the power contained in it.
Looking at the smoke fart again, it looks like it has experienced a big battle, and the breath of the smoke fart is a little stronger than before. Hong Yi's eyes lit up and he immediately asked what was going on.
"I killed a mutant and ate it!" Yanfart's answer is very concise, and now Yanfart's language ability has improved a lot compared to before, and there is no problem with normal communication.
Hong Yi nodded, the smoke fart was originally a walking corpse, and it had the characteristics of a walking corpse mutant, that is, devouring, one of the ways for walking corpses to improve their strength was to devour the flesh and blood of other creatures and gain strength from flesh and blood.
For a smoke fart, the more you eat, the more powerful it gets.
Unlike before, Smoke Fart has evolved into a demon-level mutant and has intelligence that is not weaker than that of humans, so many times, it will also express some of its discoveries and ideas.
Just like now, Hong Yi can see that the cigarette fart has something to say.
"If you have anything to say, say it!" After Hong Yi finished speaking, Yan Fart said: "This time I went to look for the brain crystal of the big worm, a few guys snatched it with me, their strength is not weak, even stronger than me, my piece is only a quarter of the entire brain crystal, those guys don't know my details, and they want to pull me into the gang." ”
Hong Yi understood, the guys in its mouth must be other demon-level mutants, and they didn't expect to find the brain crystal, and they even encountered this kind of thing.
"What did they tell you to do?" Hong Yi asked.
"Regarding the No. 1 ruins, they also plan to enter, but I can see that they know the subordinates of a certain strong person, but they only see that my strength is not weak, so they want to pull me into the gang, and I didn't immediately agree to them!" Smoke Fart said truthfully.
Hong Yi nodded, since Yanfang evolved into a demon-level mutant, it has done many things very well, because it has wisdom, it also has the ability to think, obviously Yanfart didn't immediately agree to the other party, just to come back and ask for his opinion. Yanfang also knows about the No. 1 ruin, so it wants to hear Hong Yi's decision.
"You go find those guys, join them, see what they're going to do, and get some information back." Hong Yi quickly made a judgment.
Without any hesitation, Smoke Fart nodded, and disappeared into the air.
This news was very important to Hong Yi, he had suspected the purpose of the mutants around the City of Death before, but now it was basically clear, they were all coming for the No. 1 Ruins.
Although there is a lot of information, Hong Yi still doesn't know the situation in the No. 1 ruin, in the No. 1 ruin, there are technologies that humans need, and there are also fine stones that Lin Yun needs, since this is the case, maybe there will be other things, such as magnets.
