He wasn't stupid; he knew that it would be extremely difficult to secure a mission opportunity after the notification had been issued, relying solely on his own strength.
But he still has Mo Cheng as his backer.
Just because he can't do it doesn't mean Mo Cheng can't. As long as the mission hasn't started yet, there's always a possibility of it being done, and he absolutely cannot let go of that possibility.
Before going to find Mo Chengqian, Liu Dekai specifically studied the missions and found that the Wulin Mountain mission was the most lucrative one.
He's very familiar with this routine.
Back then, if it weren't for Mo Youyou taking a liking to him and Mo Cheng helping him from behind, constantly feeding him with these lucrative positions and helping him climb up the ranks, how could a powerless, unconnected, and backgroundless recruit like him have climbed to the position of deputy battalion commander in just three years, and even been exceptionally allocated a house in the family compound!
From that time on, he tasted the power and understood what it meant to have someone in the court to get things done. He just never expected that Su Yueya would eventually have a stronger backer than Mo Youyou.
However, now is not the time to regret these things. The most urgent task is to find Mo Cheng and rely on him to complete the Wulin Mountain mission, so that we can earn military merits like we did before.
"Dad!" Liu Dekai didn't even discuss this with Mo Youyou. He went straight to his father-in-law. After all, his relationship with Mo Youyou was just so-so now, and he really couldn't be bothered to ask her for help.
"This is the military. I told you to behave yourself and shout what you're supposed to shout!" Mo Cheng said seriously, giving a wink towards the door.
Liu Dekai immediately understood and went over to close the office door.
"Dad, I'm here to see you urgently. The new mission assignment notice has come out, and I haven't been assigned a single mission!" Liu Dekai was actually quite angry, feeling that the army didn't value someone as talented as him. "Last time, I missed such a good opportunity to accumulate military merit in the major undercover case, and I didn't have any missions for a long time afterward. This time, I absolutely can't miss out on a mission again!"
Having missed the undercover case, Mo Cheng now knows the truth: the claim that the training intensity was too high and caused the injury was all a lie. The real reason was that Liu Dekai was injured by Liu Shengrui.
Therefore, even if Mo Cheng wanted to teach Liu Dekai a lesson, he didn't know where to begin and could only let the topic pass.
"I didn't expect that I wouldn't assign you a single task!" Mo Cheng sighed.
The task allocation was mainly decided by several division commanders. I heard that the army commander also offered some opinions, but Mo Cheng believed that Division Commander Zhou would definitely promote Liu Dekai. I didn't expect it to turn out like this.
“Indeed, if you don’t do something soon, you’ll probably stay at the battalion commander position!” Mo Cheng said seriously. How could his son-in-law only stay at the position of battalion commander? In the future, he should at least take over his position and become a brigade commander.
"But now, what impression do several leaders have of you..."
Mo Cheng didn't finish speaking, but Liu Dekai already knew what was going on.
The opportunity that was seized was missed due to injury, which would naturally displease the leader. But even so, we still have to fight for it this time, otherwise who knows when the next mission will come?
"Dad, I'm in a bad situation right now. My name has to be on this mission. Please help me! I know what happened last time has had an impact. Now, you're the only one who can help me. You have to help me!"
Liu Dekai is a man who is very willing to go all out.
Especially for a mission or an opportunity, they are willing to risk everything; otherwise, they wouldn't have done what they did back then.
“Okay,” Mo Cheng nodded easily. After all, things were different now. Liu Dekai was not only Mo Youyou’s boyfriend, but also her husband, and practically his son. He couldn’t just stand by and do nothing. “Which mission do you prefer this time?”
Liu Dekai was overjoyed. As long as Mo Cheng was willing to make a move, they should be able to take him down.
"Dad, I've studied it carefully. The mission at Wulin Mountain is the best. It's not the most difficult, but the military merit is the greatest. If I can take it, it will definitely give me extra points at the next promotion meeting!" Liu Dekai said confidently.
"Hmm, not bad..."
Mo Cheng also analyzed it, and indeed, as Liu Dekai said, the Wulin Mountain mission was the best.
"Go back and wait. I'll try to mediate. After all, the notice has already been issued, and changing the candidate will definitely have some impact," Mo Cheng said. He didn't give Liu Dekai any assurances, since it was a lucrative position and many people were probably eyeing it.
"Dad, thank you for your hard work. I'm waiting for your good news!" Liu Dekai suppressed his excitement.
Based on past experience, anything Mo Cheng agrees to will almost always come to fruition. It seems that the Wulin Mountain mission will most likely end up in his hands.
In that case, he needs to get started preparing quickly.
Because of this incident, Liu Dekai was in a very good mood, and even had a smile on his face when he got home.
"Son, is there some good news?" Zhang Cuihua asked, wondering if her son was about to get a promotion since he hadn't been promoted in a while.
“I’ve been dealing with some missions lately, so I asked my father-in-law to help me coordinate them,” Liu Dekai said, glancing at Mo Youyou as he spoke.
"Wasn't the list released today? I remember, your name wasn't on it?" Mo Youyou asked. She also worked in the military, so she naturally paid attention to these kinds of messages.
“No this time, but I asked my dad, and he said he would help.” Liu Dekai’s tone was unusually gentle, after all, he had just asked the man’s father for help.
Mo Youyou didn't say anything. She certainly wouldn't object to this kind of thing, and it's always been done this way before, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
At least to outsiders, Liu Dekai was still her husband, so the higher Liu Dekai climbed, the happier she looked. But behind closed doors, no matter how fiercely she and Liu Dekai argued, it was all just "domestic business."
Mo Cheng went to see Commander Zhou and they talked for a long time about this matter.
The final result was that, three days later, the names of the personnel involved in the Wulin Mountain mission changed in the reissued notice.
"Great!" Liu Dekai exclaimed excitedly when he saw the notification.
He knew that finding his father-in-law was the right thing to do, and that it would definitely work out.
However, the person who was replaced seemed very unable to accept this, after all, he never expected that he, as a regimental commander, would have his assigned mission taken away by a soldier at the battalion commander level.
The person whose mission was stolen was Zhang Yufeng.
This so-called lucrative post is the Wulin Mountain mission.
"How could this be?" Zhao Yunshan also saw the notice and spoke up for Zhang Yufeng, "How could something that has already been decided be changed so easily? Even if there were changes, they would at least have talked to you to explain the situation. How could they just issue a new notice and change everything?"
