"If you really can't come to a conclusion, don't blame me for calling on someone directly."
The officer had a stern face and spoke in a vicious tone.
There's no way around it. None of these people are willing to step forward, and the assessment can't just end like this.
Not to mention that the military region and the political department were dissatisfied with Gu Qiongsheng's willfulness, it was so easy for her to establish a legion, which would develop into a huge force in the future. This would inevitably cause multiple shocks to the existing power and interest structure.
There isn't much of a cake to begin with, and now a strong competitor is emerging. Who would be willing to do that?
The officer looked around the conference room and suddenly said, "Captain Zhang, I'll leave this matter to your Huanshui Corps."
"How about it? Do you have the confidence to do it?"
Everyone turned their heads and looked at a middle-aged man in a gray shirt sitting at the table.
Captain Zhang looked up in bewilderment: "Ah, this..."
Lu Lufeng, standing next to him, clenched his right fist to hide the smile on his lips: "The Huanshui Army is very strong, there will definitely be no problem, just rest assured."
The others echoed, "Yes, yes. Huanshui is a powerful army second only to the three major armies. Looking across the entire Federation, there are few stronger ones. They will definitely be able to defeat a small Dawn."
"The few soldiers we have aren't that capable. Lao Zhang, those who are capable should take more work. You should take this job."
"The men on her team were only famous in the past. After all these years, it's unclear how much of their skills remain. Besides, this is a newly formed regiment, so they're definitely not fully integrated. Your entire team will be on this mission. Let them witness the discipline and courage of the Federation's regular army."
"That's right, don't let it get out that we were frightened by a little girl."
Amidst the sounds of discussion, compliments, and praise, Captain Zhang blushed slightly and shook his head helplessly: "This... Well, alright."
He was actually very confident in the strength of his legion. He was reluctant to recommend himself before because he felt that it would only offend others and would not benefit him.
But now the officer asked him to take action by name and in an imperative tone, which was not something he could easily refuse.
With things now in such a state, Captain Zhang is in a dilemma and has no choice but to accept the job.
The officer finally smiled. "Okay, let's end this meeting today. Captain Zhang, please come back tomorrow and we'll discuss the specific details of the assessment."
Captain Zhang nodded.
At this moment, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open.
The subordinate looked hurried as he quickly walked to the officer's side and said a few words in a low voice.
The officer's expression suddenly changed.
After dismissing his subordinates, the officer looked at the room full of legion commanders. His Adam's apple rolled a few times, and his voice was dry. "There is a new update. Everyone can log in to the intranet to check it out."
The legion commanders were confused and opened their personal terminals to log into the military intranet. When they saw the latest news, they were dumbfounded and couldn't help but blurt out -
"What?!"
"Oh my god, is this true?"
“…Fuck, that’s awesome!”
The message was very concise, but the content was shocking enough - specifically, Gu Qiongsheng posted a notice on the intranet to recruit disciples, and gave a brief description of how a therapist could truly demonstrate his strength.
Everyone in the conference room was a smart person. When they saw the news for the first time, they immediately understood its meaning: from now on, Gu Qiongsheng will truly become the ancestor of all therapists, and the Dawn Legion will also become a large base for training therapists!
"I never thought that something that the Federation has been researching for years without any results could be figured out by a little girl."
No one suspected that it was fake news. After all, if such a thing was fake, it would be too easy to be exposed.
The legion leaders sighed and whispered, "Hey, do you think we can go to Dawn and dig up some healers?"
"...It's probably uncertain right now. The news just came out, and all the major legions are watching closely. But don't worry, once the cultivation system is expanded, it will be our turn sooner or later."
"We still have a few therapists in our group! I want to send them to Shuguang for further training before returning. I'm not sure what procedures to follow, and what about Gu Qiongsheng..."
"That girl is very powerful now. If you have any ideas, you should do it as soon as possible. It will be too late if you delay!"
The mixed whispers reached the ears of the officers and Captain Zhang, and both of them looked unhappy.
Especially Captain Zhang, his face turned pale and blue, he gritted his teeth and thought hard for a while, suddenly his head tilted, he covered his head and cried out "Ouch, ouch".
"It hurts, oh, it hurts, my headache is coming back!"
He dropped one hand under the table, using it as a shield to pinch the base of his thigh. His features wrinkled and sweat dripped down his forehead. "No, I have to go to the fringe planet to recuperate for a few months. Commander, I'm sorry, I'm really old and in poor health. I can't complete your mission."
"As for the assessment, you should find someone else. Huan Shui is really not capable of it. He really is not capable of it!"
officer:"……"
Looking at Captain Zhang's shameless look, the officer was furious and even his breathing quickened.
But his reason also clearly told him that if Gu Qiongsheng really had the ability to train a large number of therapists, then continuing to insist on strict assessments of the Dawn Legion would no longer be a wise move.
As a single therapist, they can suppress, control, and cajole - but when facing an entire group of forces, they must have more stable response methods.
Especially when this group has outstanding potential and is bound to rise in the future.
"...Forget it, let's end the meeting here today."
The officer's face darkened as he said in a sullen voice, "We'll talk about the assessment after we discuss it."
After receiving his order, Captain Zhang jumped up from the table and almost ran out of the meeting room.
He went back on his word today, and was risking his reputation - but there was no other way, who would be so desperate as to beat up a group of therapists?
The key is not just one person, but a group, a large group!
Only a fool would take on such a stupid thing!
The other legion commanders also scattered. Before they even returned to their bases, they began frantically making calls, waking up their own legion's chief of staff, logistics department, and others from their sleep, and shouting orders at the top of their voices: "Wake up everyone and hold a meeting - yes, now!"
"Tomorrow morning? No, it will be too late tomorrow morning!"
"What are you so nervous about? It's about the healer. Before long, our army will have a healer as good as Gu Qiongsheng. Don't you think you're nervous?"
The stars were shining brightly and the night wind was blowing gently. It should have been late at night and everyone was asleep, but the lights in the military bases were lit up one after another.
——This night, no matter whether they were nervous, excited or worried, many people could not fall asleep.
…
Three days later.
Gu Qiongsheng finally received a notice from the military regarding the formation assessment of the Dawn Legion.
The representative sent by the military region was very friendly. "We originally planned to let the new legions compete with the old ones, but since we are currently in wartime and each legion has its own combat missions, we will keep the Dawn assessment simple and just complete certain tasks."
"Don't worry, the mission won't be too difficult. It's just an ordinary mission to kill enemies. The specific time and location will be notified to you later."
"With Shuguang's current strength, this kind of task is easy to handle, and you don't have to feel too much pressure."
Gu Qiongsheng was slightly stunned: "It's... that simple?"
Aren’t we going to find a strong veteran team to compete against them?
Now they don’t even want to fight, and just directly acknowledge the establishment of the Dawn Legion?
The representative smiled broadly: "Hey, at this point, what's the point in engaging in internal conflict?"
"We have all seen Dawn's capabilities. To be honest, apart from the three major legions, there aren't many legions in the military region that can rival you in strength."
"You guys really are...young people are to be feared, hahahaha."
Then, he took Gu Qiongsheng aside to chat about a lot of family matters, asked her if there were any difficulties in establishing the new legion, and whether there were any gaps in funding, manpower, etc., and patted his chest and said proudly that if there were any difficulties, she could apply to the military and they would help to deal with it.
Gu Qiongsheng responded politely with a smile, but his mind was full of thoughts.
Before, the attitude of the military district was not so friendly. Not to mention all kinds of help, Lu Lufeng and others were secretly making things difficult for her, not wanting her to build the legion.
But now, the military district's attitude has suddenly made a 180-degree turn, and even the assessment has been cancelled and replaced with a mission execution form.
——There is no doubt that these changes are all because the power behind Gu Qiongsheng is growing bigger and bigger day by day, and has grown to a point that they can no longer ignore.
Sure enough, if she wanted to compete with the military district, it was far from enough to rely on her personal ability to fight alone. Only when she had her own power could she truly gain a certain voice in this world.
Instead of being like a puppet, being ordered around and used as a chess piece on the chessboard.
The two chatted for a while, and suddenly, the representative casually brought up the therapist system: "I wonder how long it takes to train a therapist?"
"As you know, we are currently in a multi-front war situation. The fighting is difficult, and many areas are in real need of excellent medical treatment."
"If we disperse them to different legions, we can maximize the healing power and save the lives of more soldiers, right?"
Gu Qiongsheng nodded in understanding, thinking to himself, as expected, no wonder he was so easy to talk to today, it turns out he was trying to find ways to snatch people away.
It just so happened that she had thought about this question for a long time last night.
After pondering for a moment, Gu Qiongsheng smiled and said, "The training period isn't long, but it still takes some time. I have to make sure that all students have mastered excellent healing techniques before I can let them become apprentices. Otherwise, teaching a few half-baked ones will not only not be a help, but will become a burden to the other legions."
The representative laughed and said, "How could the apprentice you taught be a half-baked one?"
"The military has complete confidence in your abilities."
Gu Qiongsheng shook his head: "Even if you find a way to cultivate your mental strength, it's not something you can achieve overnight."
She has discovered that Xia Weiyu and others practice spiritual power on their own. The advantage is that it does not take up system quotas and is easy to spread, but the disadvantage is that it cannot be achieved quickly and everyone's qualifications are still different.
When it comes to specific treatment techniques, everyone excels in different aspects. Some are good at high-speed mental recovery, while others are good at slow and deep recuperation. There are various differences that require specific research and subdivision.
“I want to focus on training a group of therapists first, and then have them serve as mentors to spread the healing art more widely.”
Gu Qiongsheng spoke slowly but firmly, "But all trained therapists must first come to the Dawn Legion to complete a three-month to six-month probation period, or what we call an internship."
As she spoke, she curled the corners of her lips towards the military district representative, her smile gentle and sincere. "This is a method I learned from the military district. Assessing new members to ensure their abilities and character meet the standards is a really good idea."
Military district representative: “…”
