Inside the regimental commander's dormitory, Zhang Fan sat in a chair wearing his military uniform, while Lina sat on the edge of the bed with her head down, twisting the hem of her clothes with her fingers, not daring to look at Zhang Fan. There was a table between them.

"Tell me, you didn't come here of your own accord, did you?"

"Sir, sir, it was my own idea to come. The moment I saw you, I just..."

"Heh—" Zhang Fan laughed helplessly. Although he didn't think he was ugly, he wasn't handsome enough to make a woman fall in love at first sight.

And this girl can't even lie?

"Lieutenant Yuna sent you?" Zhang Fan suddenly asked.

"No, no!" Lina hurriedly shook her head. "Sir, it really was my own idea to come."

“I understand.” Zhang Fan nodded. “Do you know where Lieutenant Yuna is now? I need to talk to her.”

"Yes, in my dorm room."

"Then you can watch TV here for a while. I have something to ask you when I come back later."

Zhang Fan turned on the TV, then got up and left the dormitory, closing the door behind him.

Walking to the female soldiers' dormitory area next door, Zhang Fan saw that Lina's room door was open, so he pushed the door open and went in.

"Good morning, sir!"

When Yuna saw Zhang Fan push the door open and enter the room, she hurriedly stubbed out her cigarette on the windowsill, stood at attention, and saluted. She thought to herself, "How come he's so fast? Is he just another all-powerful but empty-headed guy?"

“You’re the highest-ranking female soldier here, and the battalion commander of the female soldiers’ battalion, so you should know everything about the female soldiers here.” Zhang Fan walked up to Yuna and looked her straight in the eyes. “Then tell me, what did you mean by having Lina come to my room?”

"What, sir? Don't you really like Lina?" Yuna took a step forward, her nose almost touching Zhang Fan's. "Isn't Lina enough?"

“I have more experience, sir, would you like to give it a try?” Yuna’s breath was already on Zhang Fan’s face.

Zhang Fan stared at Yuna's face for a while, then turned around and closed the door, locking it from the inside.

"Pfft—" Yuna laughed. "Just as expected, another hypocrite."

As Zhang Fan approached, Yuna's eyes sparkled, her allure was on full display, and she chuckled softly.

Snap!

A loud slap echoed in the room.

Yuna covered her face, which was almost swollen from being hit, and looked at Zhang Fan in disbelief.

"Is this the attitude one should have when speaking to a superior?" Zhang Fan said coldly.

"You...you're crazy?" Yuna stared wide-eyed. "Why did you hit me?"

"Lieutenant Yuna, what kind of place is the 358th Regiment? Please tell me in detail."

"Are you crazy?" Yuna picked up a small mirror on the table, looked at her swollen face in the mirror, and complained, "I don't do BDSM. If you like, I'll introduce you to other girls..."

*Smack!*

The slap was delivered with even greater force, sending the mirror flying from Yuna's hand, crashing against the wall and shattering into countless pieces of glass.

“I’m asking you a question, Lieutenant Yuna,” Zhang Fan said expressionlessly.

"You..." Yuna wanted to retort, but after seeing Zhang Fan's eyes, her momentum inexplicably weakened, and she became a little guilty.

"You want to know what kind of place the 358th Regiment is?"

"Nonsense, I'm the regimental commander, shouldn't I know where this place is?" Zhang Fan originally thought he had plenty of time to find out what kind of place the 358th Regiment was.

But now he felt he didn't have that much time. He didn't want to wait. He needed to figure out what the 358th Regiment was like right now. Why were the experiences of the previous regimental commanders so inexplicable? Immediately! Right now!

“If you want to know, come with me. What you see with your own eyes is a hundred times better than what I say.” Yuna looked Zhang Fan up and down. “But sir, I need to touch up my makeup first, and you need to change your clothes too. You can’t see anything while wearing the rank of major.”

Zhang Fan was baffled, but he did as instructed anyway. He went back to his room and changed into a set of civilian clothes. When he returned, he saw that Yuna had changed into that smaller-sized female soldier's skirt, which showed off her S-shaped figure perfectly.

"Don't misunderstand, the place we're going to later requires us to do this," Yuna said, linking her arm with Zhang Fan's, like an intimate couple.

Where are we going?

"bar."

A bar? There's a bar inside a military camp?

Zhang Fan remembered that according to Lane's "Soldiers' Regulations," drinking alcohol in the barracks was a violation of military discipline.

Yuna led Zhang Fan away from the dormitory area to the logistics equipment warehouse, then skillfully took out a card and swiped it on the detector at the door.

The warehouse door slowly opened.

As soon as the door opened a crack, Zhang Fan was taken aback by the neon lights and loud music coming from the crack. Was this really a bar?

Yuna took Zhang Fan's hand and walked into the "Logistics Equipment Warehouse". Inside was a very spacious, dark environment where countless laser lights swayed incessantly to the accompaniment of intense electronic music, and the hall was surrounded by booths shrouded in darkness.

Because Zhang Fan had changed into casual clothes and the surrounding environment was dark, no one recognized him. At most, they would whistle at Yuna a few times before continuing to watch the performance on stage.

In the center of the hall is a platform half a meter high, where many lights are concentrated, making the stage much brighter than the surrounding area, allowing people to see the scene clearly in this dark environment.

At this moment, two female soldiers were dancing on the stage.

In the center of the stage is a smooth stainless steel pipe. The female soldiers are only wearing bottoms, their upper bodies are bare, and they are completely naked.

Several people dressed in Ryan's military uniforms surrounded the stage, whistling and swaying to the music and lights while holding up bottles of liquor.

Zhang Fan sat in the booth, without saying a word.

Yuna took out a cigarette, lit it, crossed her legs, and puffed out smoke: "Sir, I have nothing to say. Just like what you see now, this is the kind of place the 358th Regiment is."

“Those female soldiers…” Zhang Fan paused for a moment, then said, “Are they all like that?”

“Actually, our female soldiers are no different from those sold outside.” Yuna pointed to the stage and laughed, “Oh, yes, that is, we are a bit more expensive.”

Zhang Fan took a deep breath and slowly asked, "Were they all there voluntarily?"

"Voluntary?" Yuna paused for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Sir, you're so funny. If she could, what girl would willingly do such a degrading thing?"

“So that means…” Zhang Fan raised his eyes, “that they were forced?”

“Sir, let me put it this way.” Yuna stubbed out her cigarette, sat down next to Zhang Fan, took his arm, and rested her head on his shoulder. “In the 358th Regiment, it’s common for officers to play around with female soldiers.”

"In the women's barracks, this is something every new recruit goes through. Why do you think Lina is the only one who has remained innocent until now? It's because she's being prepared for the new regimental commander—who is you."

"The female soldiers didn't resist? They didn't report it to the military headquarters?"

"Resist?" Yuna said, playing with her fingers in front of her eyes. "Sir, you still don't understand where you are."

"This is a chaotic place, a place where it takes a month to even send a telegram to the capital planet!"

“This place is poor in resources and has backward agriculture. It is impossible to survive here by farming. No one will pay attention to such a place. Most of the people who come here are exiled nobles.”

"Although they were exiled, nobles are nobles after all. They came here, settled down, multiplied, and gradually formed their own unique ecosystem."

"Can you imagine? Even the Senate can't get a mere baron here to do anything!"

Yuna pointed around: "See these? These are all descendants of local nobles, or rich kids."

Zhang Fan looked around and gradually noticed something different: why were all the officers here junior officers?

"Where are the soldiers? Where have the ordinary soldiers gone?"
