"How old are you?"

Yu Wei couldn't help but ask the question that had been nagging at him.

"Twenty-one." Lin Gang blinked, seemingly realizing why Yu Wei had asked that question. He scratched his head sheepishly, a little embarrassed. "Don't worry, I've already differentiated and am an adult."

"Oh, I see..." Yu Wei rested his chin on his hand thoughtfully, then couldn't help but tease, "Do you have a boyfriend or girlfriend? Want me to introduce you to someone..."

Sigh, it seems that people unlock certain new skills when they reach a certain age, such as becoming a matchmaker.

"No need, really no need." Lin Gang waved his hand, and what he said shocked Yu Wei: "My wife is only two months pregnant."

The alliance has no specific age limit for marriage; differentiation means adulthood, and adults can marry on their own.

Furthermore, subsidies will be provided to those who have experienced early separation and are unable to raise their offspring. The government will send dedicated personnel to care for the children until both parents are able to raise their offspring.

“Alright, I guess I’m out of touch with the times.” Yu Wei waved his hand. “You go pick the people and distribute the weapons first.”

Are kids these days so precocious? I still remember when he was twenty-one, he was still going to the river to catch fish with Lin Gu, Chu Yunmu, and Qin Ge, climbing trees to steal birds' nests, watching the stars, sunrise, and sunset, grinning from ear to ear all day long.

Indeed, the new generation surpasses the old, and the old generation dies on the beach.

Halfway through his reflections, Yu Wei was overcome with sorrow. Lin Gu, who was the same age as him, already had a six-year-old child, and Lin Gang, who was ten years younger than him, also had a child. He was all alone, pitiful, being ordered around all day, and had nothing to show for it.

No, there's another one, Qin Ge, who's even worse off than him. He's over thirty and still single, a total bachelor.

Indeed, comparisons between people are necessary.

Thinking about it this way, Yu Wei felt much better.

As long as there's someone at the bottom, he's not the worst off, haha.

Watching the warships break away from the formation, Yu Wei leaned back in his chair, put his hands behind his head, and leisurely hummed a tune.

"General Yu, what about the others?" The person who had been sitting quietly at the control panel with his back to Yu Wei suddenly turned around, looking at Yu Wei, trying to glean a clue from his dark eyes. Noticing the others' questioning gazes, he immediately waved his hand and explained, "What I mean is, General Yu, could you explain the next steps of the plan so we can prepare..."

“As a soldier, what you need to do is be ready to fight at any time.” Yu Wei sat up, lazily propping his forehead up, and glanced at the man sideways, “instead of waiting for the commander to give the order before making preparations.”

"General Yu's reprimand is correct."

The man nodded awkwardly and turned away stiffly.

"Actually, the next plan isn't exactly a secret, and there's no need to prepare anything." Yu Wei interlaced his fingers and stretched them out. "Just do your job and pilot the spaceship well."

Why should a driver concern himself with his future plans?

He hasn't done his own job well, yet he's concerned about others. What a waste of his time.

"Summon all generals to the battle room."

Yu Wei slowly stood up, glanced at the people in the driver's seat, left a strange smile, and strode away.

These people seem to be more complex than I imagined.

“This mission has four landing points: A, B, C, and D. These are the north and south banks of Songxi Highway, Changyun Forest, and the entrance to Jingyuan City, respectively. You will be divided into pairs, with 5,000 people in each pair. Your only task is to wait for the enemy to come to you.” Yu Wei drew several red circles on the map and glanced at the nine generals sitting around the table: “Choose your own location, pick your own people, and choose your own weapons.”

The group exchanged bewildered glances, all trying to figure out what the general's intentions were.

"Speak up if you have any questions."

Yu Wei put down the sensor pen, crossed his arms, and swept his cold gaze over everyone.

The air seemed to freeze, and no one dared to be the first to speak out.

"Since everyone has no objections, then it's settled." Yu Wei clapped his hands, and a soldier carrying a small, square silver box walked in. Looking at the box on the table, everyone turned to look at Yu Wei.

What on earth is he doing?

"To be fair, we'll draw lots to decide the groups. Those who draw the same number will be in one group, and the remaining one..." His dark eyes, devoid of any expression, slowly swept over each face, taking in everyone's emotions, "...to be in my group."

"Of course, this mission will be credited based on the number of people caught. The more rabbits caught, the greater the merit and the more credit you will receive. Conversely, the fewer rabbits caught, the less merit you will receive. If you don't catch any..." Yu Wei narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled: "Then I'm sorry to trouble you to make this trip for nothing."

In the past, credit was given to everyone, while many slackers did nothing but loaf around all day, yet still had a lot of military merits on their heads.

For example, this time, Yu Wei was mainly responsible for leading people to disperse the rebel army and capture the leader, while the other groups just needed to wait to capture the remaining soldiers.

According to past practice, everyone who participated in this operation will be commended. Even if they do nothing but lie on the ground and sleep, they will at least receive a third-class merit.

When the Jinlai garrison retreated, they destroyed all the railway tracks, and the airspace was controlled by Yuwei. Songxi Highway became the only connection between the two cities.

Located north of Songxi Highway is Changyun Forest, a primeval and dense forest with complex paths. If someone unfamiliar with the area ventures in, they are unlikely to come out alive.

Once the rebel forces are scattered, the most likely escape route is the open fields on both sides of the road. If they manage to cross the open fields, they will enter the territory of Changyun Forest. And if someone manages to enter the forest, they will successfully escape the pursuit.

As for the entrance to Jingyuan City, it was purely a backup plan that Yu Wei had prepared for himself in case he couldn't defeat the rebels.
