After returning to Canglan Star to rest for two months, the Qingluan set off again.

This mission is a routine patrol mission within the Canglan system.

However, since the Yi will be offline in another three months, Jiang Xingchen has already stepped down as the captain of the Qingluan and is replaced by Mu Qianshan.

At the same time, he also took three people from the Qingluan, the first mate Fu Wanting, the weapons officer Wang Feng, and the helmsman Chen Xiaoguang.

Well, in fact, Jiang Xingchen originally only wanted to take Wang Feng and Chen Xiaoguang away, but...

Facing Fu Wanting's murderous eyes, someone immediately coaxed, and then with a big stroke of the pen, Fu Wanting's name was added to the document.

Of course, for the sake of this most powerful warship of the rebel army, Mu Zhengfeng gave Jiang Xingchen some privileges.

In the entire fleet, except for the captains, as long as everyone else he likes, he can directly transfer away, and no one can stop him.

As the strongest warship of the Resistance, you can't just pull down the combat effectiveness of the Descendants just because it's all recruits, right?

So, with Mu Zhengfeng standing behind him, Jiang Xingchen didn't have any intention of being soft when he poached people.

Not to mention the rest, on the Wuluo alone, he poached 7 people from Luo Hao, and the most exaggerated thing is that the captains of the four mecha teams on the Wuluo were all poached by him at one time.

That is, Qian Duoduo, Ye Yunzhou, Shen Lang and Leng Lingtian.

For this matter, Luo Hao almost kicked this guy off the Wuluo.

In the end, in a week's time, Jiang Xingchen directly robbed the entire fleet, dug up a total of 69 people, and directly gathered most of the management positions in all departments of the battleship.

The remaining ordinary 397 ordinary posts, then they can only wait for the fleet command to be assigned from among the recruits.

Otherwise, I really have to dig all of them from other warships, and I'm afraid that today next year will be my own death day.

After all, you're going to poach three or five people from each battleship, and people can put up with you, but you're going to hollow out all the veterans on their battleships...

Next, the last vacancy is the mech commander on the battleship.

You can't just be the same as before, as soon as you encounter any important mecha combat mission, you have to lead the team yourself, right?

It's okay once or twice once in a while, but it's not a good idea to do it for a long time.

But the problem is that there are only two people in the rebel army who have good mecha piloting skills and strong command ability, and Jiang Xingchen thinks about it.

One is because of the decline in physical fitness due to age, and he had to retire, and Colonel Long Yuchao, who is currently the chief instructor of mecha at the Military Academy.

The other is Mu Qianshan, who has just taken over the captaincy of the Qingluan from himself.

Long Yuchao is definitely not going to work...

You must know that mecha piloting has very high requirements for physical fitness, and now that he is almost 50, he will definitely not be able to carry out high-intensity mecha battles.

Mu Qianshan is suitable, but Jiang Xingchen can't open this mouth.

In any case, he has just become a captain and has a bright future ahead of him.

As a result, you asked him to step down as captain and become the commander of the mecha unit, isn't this tantamount to ruining people's future?

Jiang Xingchen can't do this kind of thing.

But if neither of them can do it, who are you going to let come?

Although Qian Duoduo and they are better than most pilots, they are still far from a qualified mecha team commander.

That's four squadrons, 192 mechas, Jiang Xingchen doesn't think that among the four of them, who has this command ability now.

Forget it, let's ask Long Yuchao to see if there is anything to introduce.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xingchen also took out the liaison.

Soon after, the communication was connected.

"Xingchen, how can I have time to contact you Uncle Long and me today?"

"Uncle Long, there is something I want to trouble you."

"You say, as long as it's not to dig up my instructors, everything else is fine!"

"Uh..."

Yes, the name of the madman who poached people by himself has already spread to the academy.

Hearing Long Yuchao's words, Jiang Xingchen also smiled bitterly.

"Uncle Long, that's the case, I have already arranged people for most of the positions in Houyi, but there is one position that I have never found a suitable person."

"Good boy, you really came to dig people, let's say, which position, I'll help you see if there is a suitable one among the instructors!"

"The operational commander of the mech brigade."

"Also, there is a mecha brigade on your Houyi, a total of 192 mechas, and it should be equipped with a special combat commander."

In the picture, Long Yuchao pondered for a moment, then nodded and said.

"Uncle Long, is there a suitable candidate?"

"No, although the level of those instructors under me is still passable, I am afraid that the command ability will not meet your requirements, so let's do it, you will come to the mecha department of the academy once the day after tomorrow."

"Uncle Long?"

"Don't ask, just come, and you may be able to find someone you like."

"Okay, then I'll be here the morning after tomorrow."

Seeing that Long Yuchao didn't plan to say it now, Jiang Xingchen didn't continue to ask, anyway, he would know if he went once the day after tomorrow.

------

Two days later.

Early in the morning, Jiang Xingchen came to the mecha department of the First Military Academy as promised, and then entered Long Yuchao's office under the leadership of a soldier.

"Good fellow, the colonel and I have rated it, when did it happen?"

"Just promoted a few days ago, Admiral Mu Zhengfeng said that if he is the captain of the Houyi, the rank of lieutenant colonel is a little unusual."

"It's a bit unlike, but if you don't have enough combat merits, even if there is this reason, Admiral Mu Zhengfeng will not be able to give you a promotion, so, in the end, you are still a good kid."

Patting Jiang Xingchen on the shoulder, Long Yuchao said.

There was a look of admiration in his eyes.

"Uncle Long, did you ask me to come over today?"

"Oh yes, I almost forgot about it, you come with me first!"

patting his forehead, Long Yuchao said.

Soon, under the guidance of Long Yuchao, the two entered the simulated battle hall that the academy had just built a year ago.

As soon as he entered, Jiang Xingchen saw many students here, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

It's not that I wonder why there are so many academies, but I wonder that something is wrong with these academies.

As for saying that something is wrong...

Age!

As far as Jiang Xingchen could see, many of these students were almost 30 years old.

This is obviously strange, after all, it is impossible for such an old cadet to appear in the First Military Academy.

"Isn't it strange how old they are?"

Seeing Jiang Xingchen's puzzled look, Long Yuchao asked.

"Uncle Long, who are they?"

"They are all people who were rescued from the Hailan star system, and you also know that on Hailan III, Thor will give each human according to their different qualifications, and then sell them to other civilizations as different kinds of goods."

Hearing this, Jiang Xingchen nodded.

"They're all military-trained ones?"

"Yes, so they don't need to start from scratch like other academies, but they can't go straight into the army, after all, they are not familiar with the equipment of our rebels."

"So, this is a crash course?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xingchen already understood what was going on in his heart.

"That's right, three months of rapid training, you don't need to learn the basics from scratch, you just need to master the equipment they will use in the future, and the more than 200 people here at the moment are all from the mecha department."

"And today, it's their final assessment."

"Of course, I won't call you over if that's the case alone, the problem is, there's one person I think you'll be interested in!"

After using the tactical tablet in his hand to call up a person's information and hand it to Jiang Xingchen, Long Yuchao said.

Name: Lu Li

Age: 18

Specialty: Combat vehicle piloting

Ability Rating: S

"Uncle Long, what is the current level of this S in the academy?"

After reading the information, Jiang Xingchen asked.

Seriously, he really didn't know what level S in the academy was.

After all, when he was still in the academy, the mecha department didn't even have an A rating, let alone an S.

And when he left, he didn't test it.

Therefore, although he knew that S was the highest rating in the academy, Jiang Xingchen really didn't know what level it was to.

"Well, it's almost the level that Mu Qianshan was at when he graduated."

"But in terms of age, Lu Li is more powerful than Mu Qianshan, after all, Mu Qianshan reached this level at the age of 22 back then, and Lu Li is now eighteen years old."

"The most important thing is... It's only been a few months since this little guy came into contact with mechas! ”

Hearing this, Jiang Xingchen was also a little surprised.

He was only eighteen years old, and he had only been in contact with mecha for a few months, and he had already reached the level of Mu Qianshan at his peak.

I'm interested, I'm so interested!

"Let me remind you first, this little guy is a little arrogant, even I can't hold it down, whether you can tame him and take him away is up to you."

On the side, after seeing a look of interest on Jiang Xingchen's face, Long Yuchao also opened his mouth to remind him.

However...

"It's okay, if you don't accept it, then just beat it to the service!"

"Of course, I'm talking about mecha simulations!"
