Zhou Feng: “…”

Faced with Gu Qiongsheng's teasing with a smile, Zhou Feng made a few prevarications, hung up the phone in a hurry, and fled.

The slap in the face came so fast, like a tornado.

Not only did he fail to recruit two S-level people, but he also verbally sold himself out. Who can stand this?

Zhou Feng regretted it deeply. After hanging up the phone, he sighed repeatedly: "Ah..."

The key point is that she couldn't understand why the federal military suddenly became so easy to talk to?

Could it be that they had never intended to cancel the Chenxi organization, and Gu Qiongsheng's proposal just hit the nail on the head?

...That doesn't make sense. If that were the case, why were they so determined before? Who were they putting on an act for?

God annoying!

Not only Zhou Feng didn't understand, but Gu Qiongsheng was also a little confused.

After putting down the terminal, the smile on her face gradually faded, replaced by a very serious look.

"Sister Qiongsheng, what's wrong?" Zhou Qing asked quietly from the side, "The Federation agreed, isn't that a good thing?"

Gu Qiongsheng shook his head slightly and sighed, "I'm afraid there's a trap behind this approval, waiting for me to jump into it."

…

As it turned out, it was just as Gu Qiongsheng had expected.

In the next few days, people from the military district sent a spaceship to pick up Gu Qiongsheng and had an in-depth and detailed conversation with her.

The officer who was talking was amiable, with a kind smile on his face, but the words he said made Gu Qiongsheng frown.

First of all, Chenxi needs to change its name.

That's easy to say. Gu Qiongsheng also believes that the most important thing is the intention, not the name. Even if the name changes, as long as everyone knows that this is the Chenxi of the past, everyone will treat it as the Chenxi of the past. The spirit remains, and the soul remains.

She thought for a while and said, "Can I change my name to Shuguang?"

The officer's expression froze for a moment, and after a pause, he smiled and replied, "It's all up to you."

Second, the newly established Dawn Legion needs to reach a certain scale.

"A legion must have at least 1,500 men, otherwise it can't be called a legion, right?"

The officer, holding a thermos cup, spoke softly, "While the military can force some people to transfer from their original units, the newly formed legion is unstable, and you lack some highly respected generals. Sending people there rashly wouldn't be a safe option."

"After our unanimous discussion, there are currently two main solutions. Please decide which one is more feasible."

"First, we'll send a more experienced general to be the legion commander, and you'll be his deputy. That way, we can help you directly staff up. What do you think?"

Gu Qiongsheng's eyes flickered.

"That makes sense," she said calmly, smiling faintly at the officer. "After all, I'm too young. Do you think I can't handle the situation?"

The officer smiled and said, "No, you're one of our rising stars. We just felt that you might need some help from experienced seniors."

Gu Qiongsheng looked at him with a smile, but couldn't help cursing in his heart.

What an old fox!

If you really think she needs help, why not send a general to serve as her deputy?

This arrangement is clearly intended to deprive her of her power.

In this way, the military can put in whoever it wants. Even if a new legion is established, it may have nothing to do with Chenxi and Gu Qiongsheng, but become a new point of contention among the major forces in the military region.

She, Gu Qiongsheng, is just a minor supporting role. When she arrives in the legion, she will have to help others and obey the arrangements of the legion commander.

Gu Qiongsheng kept smiling and said softly: "Can I hear the second option?"

The officer smiled and said, "The second method is also simple. You can just recruit people and set up the organization yourself."

"This way you can pull anyone you want, even your classmates, friends, anyone around you. As long as they're willing, it's fine."

Gu Qiongsheng raised his eyebrows slightly and looked up in disbelief.

So simple?

Is it really that good?

The officer added, "Of course, a legion formed like this must undergo an assessment. After all, its predecessor was one of the three major legions of the Federation. We can't just sit there and watch it change its name and become a ragtag army, right?"

"The military's credibility also needs you and me to maintain it."

There was a long silence.

Gu Qiongsheng gave the officer a deep look and whispered, "How do you assess it?"

"The format hasn't been determined yet," the officer said with a smile, "but we'll definitely be competing against the Federation's other official legions. It'll be a simulated battle or a mission competition. The details will depend on the arrangements from above."

Gu Qiongsheng: "What if I fail the assessment?"

The officer spread his hands and said, "Of course, unqualified regiments must be disbanded on the spot."

Gu Qiongsheng's eyes dimmed slightly: "If I choose the first option, then I don't need to take the test?"

The officer nodded. "Of course, the other soldiers all underwent rigorous assessments when they were selected for the Legion. Their personal qualities have already been proven, so there's no need for additional testing."

Gu Qiongsheng closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath.

"You're right, that makes sense."

She pursed her lips, raised her head and smiled sweetly, a glimmer in her eyes: "Thank you, I choose the second one."

After quickly finalizing all the matters, Gu Qiongsheng left the meeting room, leaving only the officer sitting in his seat, who did not move for a long time.

He sipped the tea in the cup one sip after another and shook his head slightly.

A moment later, someone knocked on the door and came in, respectfully asking, "How's the situation here?"

"It's just so-so," the officer sitting in his seat said slowly, "I can only say that it's not unexpected."

The visitor was slightly stunned: "...She really wants to form her own legion and take the test?"

The officer nodded imperceptibly: "This girl is really just like the evaluation above."

“A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger and will not turn back until it hits a wall.”

As he spoke, he turned around, his eyes deep, "The higher-ups want to temper this girl's temper. It seems that just coaxing won't work. We really need to put up some walls for her."

…

After walking out of the conference room and looking at the sunny blue sky outside, Gu Qiongsheng let out a long breath.

She hated this kind of occasion.

Talking with these senior executives in the conference room for an hour was more tiring than fighting on Xiling Star for a whole day.

Zhou Qing was waiting for her outside. When she saw her come out, she hurried forward and asked, "What's up, Sister Qiongsheng? What did the military say?"

Gu Qiongsheng thought for a moment and raised two fingers: "Generally speaking, there are two requirements."

"First, I have to gather 1,500 people within a month, including a deputy regimental commander, a chief of staff, and several battalion commanders."

"One month?" Zhou Qing was shocked. "What if we can't gather them all together?"

Gu Qiongsheng sighed and said, "If we can't gather them together, I will cancel the application and I will have to obey the military's arrangements from now on."

“…”

Zhou Qing frowned slightly. "If we can choose freely, can we get some people to make up the number and make up 1500?"

"Of course you can," Gu Qiongsheng said, "but there's a second condition."

"In three months, I will lead the legion to undergo an assessment by the military. If I fail the assessment, the legion will be disbanded on the spot. I will follow the military's arrangements."

Zhou Qing: "...Who are you competing with?"

Gu Qiongsheng sighed, "Who else can we compete with? Of course, we should compete with the battle-hardened, experienced, and powerful warriors from other legions."

The two conditions complement each other and are closely related to each other.

If Gu Qiongsheng was too strict in selecting people, she would probably find it difficult to gather 1,500 people.

But if she just made up the numbers, such a randomly assembled team would be like a pile of loose sand, and in the eyes of the military high-ranking officials, there would be no way they could defeat other well-trained soldiers.

"They're trying to limit my healing abilities," Gu Qiongsheng muttered. "Even if I don't eat or drink, I can't meet the training requirements for 1,500 people. They really came up with a good idea."

Zhou Qing figured out the key, and her face turned pale with worry.

"Then...what should we do?"

Gu Qiongsheng patted her shoulder soothingly and smiled at her: "It's okay, don't be afraid. They try every way to restrict me, but am I really that easy to restrict?"

"Don't worry, I already have some preliminary ideas."

Already have an idea?

Zhou Qing looked up in surprise: "So fast?"

"Of course," Gu Qiongsheng said with a smile, "after all, it's only a month."

"The first step... is to go and fetch our deputy commander and chief of staff."

…

“Beep—”

Zhou Feng, who had just arrived at the military district, received another contact signal from Gu Qiongsheng.

Zhou Feng was now terrified at the sight of Gu Qiongsheng. She'd verbally sold herself out before, but how could it be so simple in reality? Yinhui's lieutenant colonel had left without a care in the world. How could she explain this to her subordinates and superiors?

But he couldn't ignore the call, so Zhou Feng thought he could just use the excuse of bad signal and hang up without saying a few words.

Unexpectedly, after the signal was connected, the clear voice of a girl came from a distant planet. Zhou Feng was still mumbling "hmm and ah" at first, but as he listened further, his attention became more and more focused, and his expression became more and more serious.

Finally, when she hung up the phone and looked at the white clouds floating in the sky, she suddenly had a very unreal illusion, as if she was in another world.

After a while, Zhou Feng knocked on the door of General Qin's office.

General Qin was busy with official business and said without even looking up, "Come in."

"Boss," Zhou Feng called out weakly, "I've done everything you asked me to do."

General Qin looked up in surprise.

Before, Qin Yuan was dragged into carrying out the "Sharp Knife Plan". He suffered for a long time and his temples were almost completely white. Now, after thinking for a long time, he remembered that he had arranged for Zhou Feng to win over Gu Qiongsheng and make friends with the other party no matter what.

Zhou Feng lowered his head slightly: "Now I have a very good relationship with her. She almost treats me as her own sister."

General Qin showed a rare smile: "Sure, isn't that great?"

Zhou Feng lowered his head even lower: "But... the situation is a little bit off."

"Boss, as the elder sister, it's only natural for me to go and help my younger sister's army, right?"

General Qin: “…?”

The movement of his hands stopped instantly.

What's the meaning?

Is his favorite subordinate thinking of "defection"?

Facing General Qin's piercing gaze, Zhou Feng said sheepishly, "She said she would help me reach S-rank within six months."

"He even said he would promote me to lieutenant general."

"A certain research institute has generously sponsored the latest research results. I feel like there's a lot of hope..."

With a "click", the pen in General Qin's hand that was used to review the document fell onto the table.

General Qin's face flushed red as he stared at Zhou Feng and said unhappily, "...is this the mission you gave me?"

"You didn't bring anyone here, but you got yourself involved?"

Zhou Feng lowered his head even lower and spoke cautiously: "Actually...actually, it's not just me..."

"She also said that the chief of staff of the new army corps will be your classmate Xiao Qin."

General Qin: "!!!"
