Zhang Fan has been dealing with the orphans' issues for the past few days.
The request to Zhang Fan for the land of Xilin was surprisingly successful, and Reinhard gave Zhang Fan the land deed of Xilin as a farewell gift.
The land of Silin doesn't actually have much economic value. A large part of the fiefdom is Adelaide's protective forest, which makes large-scale development impossible. This is why Silin only has a population of 500.
Reinhard wouldn't even look at a fiefdom with only 500 people. Besides, once he ascends the throne, the entire star system will be his, so why would he care about a small piece of land? Giving it to his subordinates now is a convenient way to do them a favor and also win their hearts—a win-win situation.
These children have rather unique experiences, and they certainly wouldn't be able to adapt to a normal school. But Zhang Fan believes that no matter what, school-age children must go to school and receive an education! So he asked Erwin to help find a few suitable teachers to teach in Xilin.
After Zhang Fan left, Hou Wu took over these tasks. Hou Wu and the two sisters were very dedicated to these tasks, which allowed Zhang Fan to go to the "Land of Chaos" with peace of mind.
The Ryan National Army has two garrisons in the "Land of Chaos". One of them is the newly arrived "White Tiger Regiment". These garrisons, which are assigned by the military, are rotated every two years.
Another force is the "358th Regiment," a local unit that has been stationed there for a long time. The soldiers in this unit are mainly locals from the "Chaotic Lands" controlled by Ryan.
In order to strengthen actual control over the "chaotic land", although the 358th Regiment was mainly composed of locals, the regimental commander was always directly appointed by the military.
Zhang Fan's rank of major has been issued along with his appointment letter. He has come to the "Land of Chaos" to assume the position of regimental commander.
Reinhardt's military was a weak point in his power structure, so he valued every opportunity to place his trusted confidants into the Reinhardt army.
The position of commander of the "358th Regiment" in the Chaotic Lands was also something Reinhardt had to work hard to snatch from his uncle, Marquis Ferlinan.
Strangely, the previous commanders of the 358th Regiment were either sidelined or died violent deaths. Reinhardt never truly brought this unit under his control, which greatly annoyed him. So this time, he sent Zhang Fan to take up the post, to see if this passionate young man who could stir up trouble in the capital city of Adelaide could break through the 358th Regiment.
Before Zhang Fan took up his post, Reinhardt had a detailed conversation with him about the previous commanders and warned him to be careful, as it could be a very dangerous journey.
This is also why Reinhardt bestowed Xilin upon Zhang Fan, to boost morale.
To travel from the capital to the chaotic lands, one must pass through the Asiatic Star Region, the star region where Lady Qiu's maternal home is located.
After the interstellar spaceship jumps out of the Asiatic Star System, it will take another week of sub-light speed travel to reach the Chaotic Lands.
The Chaotic Lands are a triangular star system located between the Duchy of Laine and the Kingdom of Fas Khan, as well as the Common Star System. Scientists from both countries have concluded that the Chaotic Lands were formed on an ancient battlefield.
Now, apart from archaeologists, no one can remember how many interstellar civilizations once arose in the star system where Ryan and Phos lived.
Based on existing research findings on the Chaotic Lands, scientists, historians, and archaeologists speculate that an interstellar war may have taken place here in ancient times.
The two sides deployed at least tens of millions of interstellar warships. On that vast battlefield, more than two thousand planets were detonated, which also formed a chaotic land that isolated a huge asteroid belt from the outside world and a group of black holes that drifted like ghosts within it.
Those extremely distorted spacetime wormholes that still exist are powerful proof that this war did indeed take place.
In interstellar warfare, warships sometimes perform ultra-short-distance spacetime jumps for tactical maneuvers. When a fleet of warships simultaneously performs spacetime jumps over an ultra-short distance, it will leave the spacetime structure of the surrounding star system riddled with holes, which will not recover for millions of years, much like a piece of cheese riddled with countless holes by mice.
Now, interstellar ships must be extremely careful when entering the Chaotic Lands and must fly along fixed routes; otherwise, once they accidentally enter these spacetime wormholes, they can forget about ever getting out.
The transport ship landed at the military spaceport of Benghazi, a fortress city in the chaotic territory controlled by Ryan.
The hatch opened, and Zhang Fan, dressed in a major's uniform, stepped down carrying a camouflage duffel bag; he was the only passenger. This transport ship was responsible for resupplying supplies and was also carrying some mecha parts and weapons.
Zhang Fan saw some familiar faces from the "White Tiger Regiment" at the port, and even some classmates from Ryan Military Academy standing guard and patrolling.
Zhang Fan put on a mask and pulled down the brim of his hat, not wanting to disturb them.
After walking through the passageway of the spaceport, Zhang Fan saw a military vehicle with the markings of the 358th Regiment parked at the exit, so he walked towards the vehicle.
"Good morning, sir!" The two soldiers standing by the vehicle saw someone approaching, and that he was a major, so they immediately stood at attention and saluted.
"Excuse me, are you Major Zhang Fan?"
Female soldiers?
Zhang Fan looked at the two female soldiers with different hair lengths, one short and one long, with some surprise.
Why would the 358th Regiment send two female soldiers to pick up their commander? And these two female soldiers are quite good-looking and have great figures. Are the soldiers in the 358th Regiment all of such high quality?
"It's me." Zhang Fan nodded. "I'm Zhang Fan."
"Sir, please get in the car."
The long-haired female soldier opened the back door, while the short-haired female soldier got into the driver's seat and started the vehicle.
After Zhang Fan got into the car, the long-haired female soldier followed him in, closed the door, and sat down next to him.
Two distinct fragrances filled the carriage. If he remembered correctly, Ryan's "Soldier's Ordinance" prohibited female soldiers from wearing perfume in their daily lives, let alone when on missions.
Perhaps they were simply showing respect for their commander? Or maybe it was just their natural body odor? It wasn't necessarily perfume.
Zhang Fan pinched his nose, feeling a little uncomfortable. He couldn't help but adjust the direction of the car's air conditioning vents to disperse the smell around him.
"Sir, are you too hot?" The long-haired female soldier took out a handkerchief from her pocket and took the initiative to wipe the sweat from Zhang Fan's forehead.
But there was no sweat on his forehead. Zhang Fan's whole body stiffened.
What's going on?
Zhang Fan was shocked!
The long-haired female soldier was practically half-pressed against him, her breath hitting his face. Although they were only a few centimeters apart, the almost-but-not-quite-close feeling was far more deadly.
Zhang Fan only needs to bend his hand slightly to pull this alluring body into his arms.
Zhang Fan sat upright, not daring to move an inch, for if he moved even slightly, he might bump into something!
I dared not look ahead; the white light was blinding, and the vehicle bounced up and down with each movement—it was terrifying.
What's worse is that below—is that a female soldier's skirt? I don't remember Ryan's female soldiers' uniform skirts being this short. As soon as these two female soldiers sat down, their panties were exposed.
What's going on here?
Zhang Fan couldn't understand it, so he could only keep his eyes down and his mind at ease, cosplaying as a Buddha...
On the lookout tower of the 358th Regiment's garrison, several officers watched the military vehicles getting closer and closer in the distance.
"Hey, deputy regimental commander, how many rounds do you think he can get through?"
