"Don't worry, the military is just the military, there are no factions." Yang Wanliu smiled at Ye Ran.

"But you..." Ye Ran looked at Yang Wanliu,

After all, Yang Wanliu was the number one opponent of Lan Moyan's plan to erect a monument at Zhan Mountain...

Are you surprised?

Yang Wanliu looked at Ye Ran, interrupting what Ye Ran was about to say.

He seemed to have guessed Ye Ran's thoughts:

"A single yin cannot grow, nor can a single yang produce. The military needs to move forward dialectically amidst different voices. Those hot-blooded fools who only know how to fight and kill simply don't understand."

Then, he looked at Ye Ran with a smile:

“I oppose it because of my duty, and I support it because I am a soldier of China. These are not contradictory.”

"Anyway, it was a pleasure to meet you. I hope we'll have many more opportunities to meet in the future."

After saying that,

Yang Wanliu nodded to Ye Shaoguo, who was walking over.

He then turned and left the meeting room.

Ye Ran was left with a capable and efficient figure.

"What did that kid say to you???" Ye Shaoguo asked, watching Yang Wanliu's retreating figure.

Ye Ran paused for a moment, then shook his head:

He said he was happy to meet me.

Ye Shaoguo glanced at Ye Ran, then smiled:

Did he tell you why he did it?

Ye Ran looked up at Ye Shaoguo, who smiled helplessly at Ye Ran's expression.

"That brat, does he really think the entire combat order is made up of roughnecks like Yang Ziqiang..."

Ye Shaoguo shook his head and looked at Ye Ran, saying:

"That brat is the successor handpicked by the Right General of the Dragon Kingdom, a cold-blooded animal without any passion."

However, as soon as Ye Shaoguo finished cursing, he said to Ye Ran:

"But he's a nice guy. You should spend more time with him in the future; it won't hurt."

Ye Ran looked at Ye Shaoguo,

One second they were tearing each other apart in the meeting room.

The next second, however, they were supporting each other...

This military headquarters is much more interesting than he imagined.

Ye Shaoguo looked at the gleam in Ye Ran's eyes.

A barely perceptible smile appeared on his face.

He had spoken with Bai Xu.

Therefore, he was extremely confident.

Ye Ran, a person willing to stand up for injustice and fight for the weak,

You'll definitely love everything about the military now.

Because that's how Zhang Hedong was tricked into coming here...

In a short time,

Ye Shaoguo then thought of that old man still sitting in the Ye family mansion in Jinling, waiting for his beloved son to return.

My lips couldn't help but curl up slightly...

Then, Ye Shaoguo spoke:

"Alright, now that the discussion is over, come to my office. Your study abroad program will officially begin."

"Yes, General Ye."

Ye Ran nodded.

He followed Ye Shaoguo closely to the office.

Ye Ran looked around as soon as she entered the office.

There are no decorations here.

There were only books, strategy maps, a sand table, a wooden chair, and a bed.

Moreover, judging from the signs of use on these items...

It is definitely not just for show or a decoration.

Instead, they are items that are actually used in normal years...

In a short time,

Ye Ran was somewhat surprised.

Because this office was so different from what he considered the office of a top figure in the Chinese military.

It even felt...somewhat shabby...

"Sit down! Ye Ran."

Ye Ran sat down.

The soldiers around Ye Ran took the opportunity to offer him tea.

After leaving, I closed the door behind me.

Ye Shaoguo used the tea lid to wipe away the steam from the tea, and said with his head down:

"You've already met Li Wancheng and his Crimson Squad, haven't you?"

Ye Ran looked at Ye Shaoguo:

"I've seen it, and I must say, the military is truly full of talented people."

"Alright, stop flattering me. Those four kids might be geniuses in the public eye, but they're nowhere near as good as your students."

Ye Shaoguo looked at Ye Ran, and then said:

"You heard what Yang Wanliu said at today's meeting about the proportion of missing military personnel and equipment, right?"

Ye Ran nodded.

What do you think?

Ye Ran was taken aback when she heard Ye Shaoguo ask this question.

What does he think?

He had only been at the military headquarters for less than 12 hours.

Besides looking with our eyes, how else can we see?

Ye Shaoguo continued:

"This is the assignment that the military has given you for this study tour."

"When the time comes, you will be in charge of leading the Crimson Squad and your students to help me find the answer."

"I will give you my warrant, which has all military authority."

Upon hearing this,

Ye Ran was stunned.

He looked at Ye Shaoguo, really wanting to ask if this Left General of the Dragon Kingdom had forgotten to take his medicine today...

The Chinese military is a behemoth on a global scale.

You expect a few people below Platinum rank to investigate such a deeply entrenched problem within this system?

"General Ye, isn't this a bit hasty...?"

"I won't be hasty. I believe you." Ye Shaoguo was sparing with his words, offering no further explanation to Ye Ran.

But the attitude was extremely clear.

It's you, it's you, it's definitely you!!

Ye Shaoguo's attitude gave Ye Ran a headache:

"General Ye, why don't you contact the military...?"

"I don't trust him."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ran's pupils contracted slightly.
