On this day, Adelaide’s national broadcaster television station broadcast a news report.
The terrifying forces of the Chaotic Lands attacked Benghazi, a border city of the Duke of Ryan.
The 358th Regiment stationed in Benghazi fought back fiercely and surrounded the enemy in a warehouse, annihilating them in one fell swoop.
There are enemy corpses at the 358th Regiment's base as evidence. None of these people had any entry records to Benghazi, which clearly indicates an invasion.
However, the 358th Regiment also paid a heavy price, with more than half of its soldiers killed or wounded, and more than 300 soldiers missing in the attack, leaving only 31 survivors.
Of course, the news report didn't mention that the survivors were a male major and 30 female soldiers, otherwise the proportion would be unclear.
Moreover, the claim of "more than half casualties" is worth considering. In reality, only one person was injured, namely the major who accidentally cut his finger; the others were all dead.
The White Tiger Independent Regiment of the Space Fleet stationed in Benghazi retaliated against the attackers, engaging in fierce battle with the colluding rebel fleet in the orbital airspace of Muli Star.
The "White Tiger Regiment" fought against hundreds of enemy ships, sinking and damaging more than 200 ships of various types. The remaining enemy ships fled in disarray, abandoning their armor and weapons.
The "White Tiger Regiment" pressed their advantage, and their mech forces landed in the capital of Muli Star, capturing the Muli Star garrison commander and all those who had planned the attack on Benghazi.
Hagrid and Anlin surrendered without resistance, and more than 30 surrounding factions also sent diplomatic ambassadors to Adelaide, expressing their willingness to submit and become vassal states of the Duchy of Lyon.
The support fleet dispatched from the Asiatic Starfield to the Chaotic Lands is already en route. This fleet will be stationed there permanently. With this, the Duchy of Ryan officially brings the planets of Muli, Hagrid, and Anlin, as well as the surrounding starfields, under its control. The Duchy of Ryan's foothold in the Chaotic Lands has become a vast territory.
To reward the "White Tiger Regiment" for its achievements, all officers and soldiers were promoted one rank, and the regiment was expanded from a regiment to a brigade. The major commander of the 358th Regiment, who made great sacrifices, was directly promoted three ranks to the rank of major general, and all soldiers in the regiment were promoted to junior officers. Due to the large number of vacancies in the 358th Regiment, it was temporarily placed under the command of the "White Tiger Regiment".

"Was this guy a frog in his past life?" Erwin said indignantly as he brewed his tea. "He got promoted three times in one year, from private to second lieutenant, then to major, and now he's a major general. His promotions are faster than a rocket!"
“Hehe.” Wang Desheng, sitting opposite him, chuckled. “But Dean, you can’t deny that his achievements do indeed deserve this position.”
“He deserves it more than that!” Erwin took a sip of tea and said with a mix of emotion and helplessness, “Lyan has been struggling to find a foothold in the Chaotic Lands. He went there and it was great. He directly expanded the territory. I think it’s not an exaggeration to give him the rank of general for his achievements.”
“The main thing is that he seized the opportunity.” Wang Desheng nodded as well. “With the strength of the Ryan National Army, it is not difficult to occupy a few planets in the Chaotic Lands. The difficulty is to stay there for a long time.”
“There are countless forces there, coming and going like the wind. If we don’t eliminate these forces, it’s meaningless to occupy one or two planets. Now, Muli, Haige, and Anlin are forming a triangular alliance, and the surrounding airspace has been almost completely cleared. Ryan has enough time to establish himself there.”
"That guy never does anything step by step, and we always have to clean up his messes. It's infuriating!" While annoyed, Erwin also had a deeper thought. "Right, he's right. Controlling the news and public opinion can sometimes make things much easier. What was that army he mentioned before called?"
“Internet trolls,” Wang Desheng replied.
"Yes, we need to strengthen our work in this area in the future."
"Also, what's the situation with the Academy Army?" Compared to the vague and ethereal online trolls, Erwin was more concerned about this now.
"Sabertooth Tiger participated in the assault operation in the capital of Muli Star and performed admirably. Of course, there were some shortcomings. They could have done better, but for their first combat experience, they were already excellent." Wang Desheng was quite satisfied with this. "The rest of the team members participated in the subsequent battlefield cleanup, which was much simpler. They basically did not encounter any effective resistance."
"What about the casualties?" Erwin continued to ask.
"Ten people were wounded, but no one was killed. The most seriously injured was a student who was hit by a stray bullet. He will be able to return to the team after a period of rest. It's not a big problem."
"That's good. Now that the White Tiger Regiment has expanded, the Academy Army can legitimately hide under them without attracting too much attention." Erwin thought for a moment and said, "I'll coordinate with Old Zhu. The Academy Army's supplies will go through their channels, and from now on, Chaotic Land will serve as a training ground for these brats."
"Please bear with the White Tiger Regiment. The military has already issued an appointment to reinstate you, but it hasn't been made public yet. To the outside world, you are still an instructor at the academy, so you need to be careful about your identity when you are active in Benghazi."
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Wang Desheng chuckled. "The White Tiger Regiment is now an independent brigade, and you're appointing a captain as its commander?"
"What are you afraid of?" Erwin glared at Wang Desheng. "Didn't we have a precedent of a private becoming a brigade commander before?"
“Uh…” Wang Desheng was speechless for a moment. Of course he knew who the private brigade commander was referring to.
"Moreover, the White Tiger Regiment is united as one, as solid as a rock and impenetrable. Only you can lead them, so we can't let the commander's position remain vacant." Erwin handed an appointment letter to Wang Desheng. "Reinstating your rank requires a qualification review by the Senate, which is quite troublesome and may have to be put on hold for a while."
"But it doesn't make much difference to you. Even if you're just a private, the White Tiger Regiment will still listen to you."
"When you get to Benghazi, take good care of those tiger cubs for me. You can then go ahead and mess with them as much as you want. There's only one rule!"
"I can accept their deaths, but I cannot accept that they died without any purpose!"
“I understand. They may face even harsher combat environments than the Chaotic Lands in the future.” Wang Desheng folded the appointment letter and put it in his pocket, then stood up and gave a solemn military salute.
"Admiral Erwin! When the Academy Army returns, you will see a pack of tigers descending the mountain!"
"Heh—" Erwin chuckled. "I'm getting old. After this one last hurrah, I'll retire."
"This will be the last graduating class I supervise, so please bear with me."
"yes!"
After Wang Desheng finished saluting, he turned to leave, but Erwin called him back.
"By the way, the 'boss' has been mentioning Zhang Fan a lot lately and has become very interested in that guy. They may have to meet him in the future."
Wang Desheng was silent for a moment, then said, "Dean, do you think we and him will become enemies in the future?"
“I will do my best to avoid this situation.” Erwin rubbed his temples in frustration. “We’ll see. That’s a matter for the future. There’s always a way to solve it. I’m telling you now just to give you a heads-up so you can be mentally prepared.”
"By the way, where is that guy now?"
"On Ruolan Star."
"Ruolan? That 'vacation paradise'? What's he doing there?" Erwin paused for a moment, then came to his senses. "That's right, he's done so much, he should go somewhere to relax."
“He’s not alone.” Wang Desheng hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped himself.
"Not just one person?" Erwin asked, somewhat puzzled. "Who else?"
"30 female soldiers."
"Woman...nonsense!" Erwin was about to get angry again. "If he brought one or two female soldiers as companions, I could understand, but what does it mean to bring 30? Does he not want the 358th Regiment anymore?"
"The 358th Regiment is now under the command of the White Tiger Regiment, and we are currently handling the post-disaster reconstruction work." Wang Desheng's expression turned somewhat strange as he said this. "He rented a seaside villa in Ruolan and booked an entire shopping mall. It's said he's going to hold a nudist convention on the beach..."
"Heavens...heavens..." Erwin's eyes widened like saucers. "What does this mean?"
“Dean, it’s normal that you don’t read entertainment news, so you don’t know.” Wang Desheng handed a tabloid to Erwin. “That guy is a celebrity lately, he’s on the front page every day.”
Erwin picked up the newspaper with a suspicious look on his face, and as soon as he started reading, he saw a headline with huge font.
