When we returned to the Oasis base, we saw a group of people gathered outside the base.
The other party displayed the flag of the Vermilion Bird Base; it's unclear whether they came to demand an explanation or to negotiate a deal.
Jingyi hasn't let anyone in yet, I don't know if he wants to leave them waiting or what.
The armed forces of Qinglong Base stopped at the edge of Oasis Base territory with great restraint. After escorting the people who came to learn about agriculture into the base, Lieutenant Wang would leave with the armed forces to conduct military exercises.
Fang Qingdai simply put everyone into her spatial storage and quietly returned to the base, avoiding any encounter with the group from the Vermilion Bird Base.
She needs to communicate with Jing Yi first to confirm the current situation before making any plans.
As soon as he entered the base, Jing Yi quickly came to greet him, his face solemn: "Please punish me for my unauthorized decision."
Fang Qingdai paused for a moment before she understood what he meant.
He made a rash decision to annihilate more than 300 people from the Vermilion Bird Base and the White Tiger Base. This move was too risky. If he was not careful, he would be dragged into a chaotic battle, which would develop from a three-way battle between the bases into a four-way battle between the bases.
Especially during this period when the Xuanwu Base was already eyeing the situation covetously, trying to drag the Oasis Base into the game.
Although Jing Yi's swift and decisive actions were able to suppress the situation and turn the tide for the Oasis Base, as the leader of the superpowered group, his unauthorized actions without the base leader's permission inevitably made people feel that he disregarded the base leader's authority, and may even lead to rumors that the base leader was being sidelined.
Fang Qingdai looked at Jing Yi and patted him on the shoulder: "You did a great job. Our base is in the process of development. We should seize every opportunity decisively. We need wolves that are good at fighting, not obedient dogs."
"Can……"
“Before I left the base, I said that I was entrusting you with full authority over everything. You didn’t act impulsively, but considered how to deal with the subsequent developments. I don’t think that was making a decision on your own!”
Jing Yi paused for a moment, and the solemn expression on his face relaxed slightly.
As Tongfang Qingdai said, the base is in a period of development, and every opportunity should be seized precisely.
This is a great opportunity. It can help Fang Qingdai vent her anger and turn the tables. If handled properly, the Oasis Base can also become famous!
However, since the Oasis base is still in the development stage, the people in the base may not be united. Everyone may be secretly observing who will rise to the top.
Jing Yi was worried that some people might not know their place and would try to stir up trouble and ruin his relationship with Fang Qingdai once he gained power. That's why he took the initiative to ask for punishment in front of everyone.
This move is to tell everyone that there is only one base chief at the Oasis Base, and no one can make decisions arbitrarily by overstepping the base chief's authority!
Fang Qingdai understood his concerns and felt that his sincerity was rare, and she was indeed moved.
He saved Jing Yi's life, and as expected, he kept his promise, becoming the sharpest knife in her hand. Even when he had a full opportunity to take power, he chose to step back and push Fang Qingdai to the top.
"From today onwards, in addition to being appointed as the leader of the Superpowers Corps, Jing Yi will also be appointed as the deputy base commander, and Mao Min will be appointed as the chief of staff of the base. From now on, they will work with me to decide on matters related to the development of the base. If I am not at the base, all matters will be discussed and decided jointly by the deputy base commander and the chief of staff!"
Fang Qingdai's sudden appointment shocked Mao Min: "Me? But I can't even use my superpowers!"
Fang Qingdai reassured him, "The chief of staff is a civilian position; all he needs is a clear mind and a heart devoted to the base."
Mao Min controls all the power of the Mao family, and Mao Yun and the others never forget their original intentions and always take Mao Min as their leader.
Although Mao Min was worried that Fang Qingdai would overthink things, and avoided getting involved in base affairs, her influence was still undeniable.
Fang Qingdai appointed her as chief of staff, partly to elevate the Mao family, and partly to ensure that Jing Yi would have someone to consult with while she was away from the base.
It's not that Jing Yi can't make decisions on his own, but once this consultation process is completed, others will no longer question whether Jing Yi is making decisions arbitrarily or attempting to seize power!
Mao Min was very clever and quickly understood Fang Qingdai's idea. She nodded in agreement, but said softly, "I will cooperate well with Jing Yi."
Fang Qingdai smiled and said, "I didn't bring you up here to be a tool."
"Miss Mao, you once followed your father in battles across the wilderness, and you even single-handedly wiped out a hundred-strong bandit gang in the wilderness. Your strength and abilities are well known!"
Mao Min was originally a flower that thrived in the wasteland, covered in thorns, and was once a shining pearl in the wasteland.
However, after encountering unforeseen events, the past twenty years have dulled its edge, leaving it somewhat timid.
But someone who was once so brilliant and talented, though she may have lost her martial prowess, still has her brains. Coupled with the absolute loyalty of the Mao family to her, promoting her would definitely bring Fang Qingdai unexpected surprises.
"Alright, new deputy base commander and chief of staff, let's discuss how to deal with that Vermilion Bird team outside!"
The two of them had no choice but to follow Fang Qingdai into the office.
Wang, the adjutant, was helpless. None of the three officials had thought of making arrangements for the people he had brought.
Knowing that the situation at the Oasis base was urgent, Lieutenant Wang didn't hold it against Zhang Xin and went to find her with his men.
Zhang Xin's eyes lit up when she saw the twelve wood-type ability users!
She eagerly stepped forward and took Wang's hand: "Don't worry, I will definitely teach with all my heart and will definitely give you a group of excellent farmers!"
"Come on, come on, hurry up! We can't let your tuition fees go to waste. Let's learn through practice today!"
Lieutenant Wang scratched his head.
Something felt off, but when he thought of Zhang Xin's promise to teach diligently, Lieutenant Wang became happy and left the base with a satisfied smile, leading his team to the exercise.
As for Fang Qingdai, after discussing the matter, she and her group decided to negotiate a cooperation with the Vermilion Bird Base before the White Tiger Base arrived.
There were only about twenty people from the Suzaku Base outside the base. They waited politely outside the base for the Oasis Base to receive them. It was clear that they had come to apologize and make peace after receiving news that the Oasis Base was preparing to sell its grain.
The White Tiger Base also participated in intercepting Fang Qingdai, but they were not as tolerant as the Vermilion Bird Base. They might not be able to accept that more than a hundred of their own people were wiped out by the Oasis Base, so they haven't sent anyone to hold them accountable or seek reconciliation.
In that case, Oasis Base should hurry up and finalize a cooperation agreement with Vermilion Bird Base. If they send a large amount of grain to Vermilion Bird Base, how can White Tiger Base not panic?
The Xuanwu base will probably be uneasy too!
Oasis Base wants to show everyone that we are not afraid of your provocations; we will fight back if you confront us head-on!
If you have a good attitude, we won't be stingy. We'll immediately send a whole bunch of flour to your logistics department to ensure you have more strength when you fight!
