Chapter Fourteen I am innocent

  The 70 recruitment quotas in the military camp were finally completed, and the atmosphere on the base became even more lively. After Zhong Yi was promoted to lieutenant, the soldiers recruited this time generally improved by one level, with two second lieutenants, and their abilities were not bad either. However, no more growth attributes were found! This is also easy to understand, as Tian Tang Niao introduced earlier, only system-rewarded guard classes have a higher probability of having growth attributes. Fortunately, Jiang Yunzhi happened to have the growth attribute of supreme commander, which is an against-the-sky attribute, meaning that as long as nothing unexpected happens, with focused cultivation, Jiang Yunzhi will have a great opportunity to become a super general. Zhong Yi looked forward to it very much, expecting Jiang Yunzhi to grow into a military god like Zhu Ke.

  "Ah, Heaven's Bird had also mentioned that the base's highest commander has the authority to adjust soldiers' ranks and positions. Rewarding achievements and punishing mistakes is an iron law for governing the army. This time, they were able to smoothly complete the promotion mission and bring in a large sum of money for the base. These thirty soldiers have made great contributions and should be rewarded! After some consideration, since Jiang Yunzhi has such incredible growth potential, he might as well take command of all the soldiers in one of the current companies, promote him to lieutenant rank, and appoint him as the company commander; promote Huo Lu to second lieutenant, and appoint him as deputy company commander and first platoon leader. The two newly recruited second lieutenants will be appointed as leaders of the second and third platoons. Hmm? Who's missing? Ah, it's Qian Zhihao! That kid stole my two gold bricks, go find him!"

  The area surrounded by the wall is at least one hundred square kilometers, which is also in Australia, where a few dozen kilometers of wall can be built for hundreds of kilometers. In Europe, several small countries are not as large as this. The red land is a desert terrain that is dry and flat, with over a dozen Type 59 medium tanks practicing a neat wedge-shaped charge formation. Seeing the commander walking a military dog like a big shot, the tank's practice temporarily stopped. After each group of cars stopped, they still maintained their neat formation. Zhong Yi nodded his head, not knowing which officer was in command, but the level was pretty good!

  It was slightly unexpected that the first person to jump out of the tank turret, which temporarily served as the command vehicle, was actually Jiang Yunzhi. Zhong Yi let out a few delighted "heh heh"s and said, "Not bad, a sergeant can already command two junior lieutenants, truly worthy of becoming a great commander."

  "Reporting to superior officer, the Chinese Base Guard Battalion is currently in training, awaiting instructions!"

  "Sergeant, assemble all soldiers!"

  "Assembly——" No need for loudspeakers, Jiang Yunzhi's voice alone was enough to carry hundreds of meters away. The hatches on top of all the tanks were open, and the soldiers jumped out one after another, running to assemble. And three wheeled anti-aircraft armored vehicles drove right up before stopping, with twenty or so soldiers jumping out of each vehicle.

  Zhong Yi pinched his nose, this bunch of good-for-nothings, don't they know how to save fuel at all!

  "Reporting to the superior officer, except for eight soldiers of the guard company who are on patrol in vehicles, all 92 others have fallen in, please instruct."

  Comrade Zhong Yi raised his hand in response, nodded, "Comrades, I am the highest commander of the Great China Base, Zhong Yi. Welcome everyone to join the Great China Base. Next, I command - Sergeant Jiang Yunzhi promoted to Lieutenant and appointed as the platoon leader of the Guard Platoon; He Lu... The appointments are complete. Please continue training, Lieutenant Jiang, please dispatch a troop carrier to follow me to the logistics warehouse to receive new supplies."

  "Yes!"

  The army is like this, the more elite the troops are, the simpler they are in details. Appointments and orders, no one will ask why, nor will anyone say yes or no, everything can be summarized in two words: obedience!

  Even if he was promoted directly from lieutenant to captain, Jiang Yunzhi's poker face remained expressionless. Zhong Yi felt a bit depressed, "I've given you three promotions in a row, can't you at least crack a smile?"

  "Jiang Lianchang, our base's intelligent system has detected multiple attempts by individuals to approach the base. The soldiers on duty have also shot and killed several people, but it is inevitable that some will slip through the net. The exposure of the base cannot be avoided. Please strengthen the defense of the base and intensify training to defend against potential enemies."

  "Sir, I request additional arms and equipment."

  "Haha, no problem, light and heavy machine guns, 60mm mortar, rocket launcher, I've got them all ready for you, what else do you need?"

  "It's done, sir. Mission accomplished."

  "Haha......" Zhong Yi patted Jiang Lianchang's shoulder, "Don't always be so serious, we're both lieutenants now."

  "Sir, this has nothing to do with military rank. You are the highest commander of the base and Yun Zhi must maintain your authority."

  ……

  Zhong Yi was speechless, these Red Alert warriors' loyalty to him was really... he didn't know how to express his feelings. This was a happy trouble, but he could never go back to the carefree and playful state of mind he had with his brothers in college. Zhong Yi finally understood why emperors always referred to themselves as "gu" or "kuaren", for those in high positions must be lonely, just like tigers in the forest, they don't need friends, they only guard their territory with all their might, hunting alone until... dying alone.

  He shook his head fiercely, as if to shake out these negative emotions. Zhong Yi knew that he didn't have the qualifications to consider these things yet. What was most important now was to keep himself alive and let the base develop further.

  The gentle voice of the female anchor came quietly, "Report to the officer, because there are already two lieutenants in the base who meet the task requirements. Now start the commander's promotion to senior lieutenant rank mission."

  Promotion to Captain Rank Mission:

  Task duration: 120 hours

  Activation condition: The base has two or more lieutenant officers

  Task objective: The base can use funds up to 300,000

  Mission Success Reward: Commander promoted to Captain, War Lab building activated

  Penalty for mission failure: prohibition of promotion within one year

  Mission countdown has begun.

  "Three million? Bird, how much available funds does our base have now?"

  "Report to the superior, 267,800." Zhong Yi took a look at Jiang Lianzhang who was puzzled because he suddenly stopped, and suddenly grabbed his hand, "Return to the school field, quickly, find Qian Zhihao to get the gold brick."

  Jiang Yunzhi almost fell into the troop carrier. What's going on now? We're not playing around, we were in the middle of a serious conversation, how did gold bars suddenly come up?

  When Qian Zhihao's eyes were filled with tears and his face was unwilling, he had to throw the two gold bricks into the smelting factory under Lao Da's coercion. At this time, Zhong Yi also heard the slightly excited voice of the female anchor: "Congratulations, officer, you have completed the military rank task, your military rank has been promoted to upper lieutenant, and the base has activated the war laboratory building."

  "Haha……" In a fit of mad laughter, Captain comrade swept up Qian Zhihao and spun him around in circles!

  "Ah——ah——Brother Jiang, save me! Boss, I've already returned the gold brick to you, just spare my life, I'm not a base friend..."

  "Depend on...!" Zhong Yi was so angry that he threw a stool at Qian Zhihao, who was sitting on the ground with his arms around his knees like a sulky little wife. "You uncouth fellow! Alright, you're promoted to second lieutenant and appointed as the leader of the guard squad." After finishing speaking, he immediately turned around and ran towards the main building, hurrying back to the control room to see what treasure this war laboratory was.

  Jiang Yunzhi, still confused and unsure of what had happened, smiled slightly on his dark face. Qian Zihao hurriedly shouted: "Brother Jiang, I'm innocent!"
