87 Why is it Him? (1/2)

That day, many things happened in Jialipalan. The president had personally come to welcome the general of the Empire, Russell, and had also conferred him the rank of general of the Federation, the chief advisor of the Supreme Headquarters, as well as the chief emeritus professor of the Leray’s three big military institutes.

Even though they were all positions without obligations, for these positions to be given to an enemy who had only recently been brought over, it was enough to show the sincerity of the Federation. Furthermore, the Supreme Headquarters was not prejudiced against Russell when he came over daily for work and had even arranged an office for him in the front lines forward command department.

At the same time, the president signed and announced oven ten proposals that had passed through the parliament regarding the reconstruction of Miracolo Planet. These included a series of preferential policies towards the local corporations on Miracolo Planet, policies that supported banks, the investment on the fundamentals of the nation, the government budget plan, as well as the military budget plan.

Numbering in the hundreds, the ground-based fully-mechanised infantry divisions, ground-based armored divisions, and the aviation squadron armored divisions would be gathering in Miracolo Planet as they prepared for the counter-attack against the Galileo Galaxy.

The 1st and 2nd United Space Fleets would regroup over at Miracolo Planet. Each of the united fleets would be replenished with two new formations worth of new model battleships, totalling up to a five-fleet, large-scale united fleet.

The 3rd United Fleet had also been given orders to station over at Newton Galaxy. This fleet had only been recently assembled and was comprised fully of the monotonous-colored new model battleships; these were new products after the mobilization of the nation in preparation for war.

Enriched with more than 30 resource planets, the Newton Galaxy would construct over 1300 gigantic space docks so as to rebuild the new Federation’s space battleship construction base. At the same time, the new battleship models reinforcing the united fleets would be constructed there.

Tian Xing Jian did not know how he had walked back to the academy’s dormitory. For the entire day, he sat there in a daze. On the next day, once he was woken up from his dream by a knock on the door, he realized that his face was still covered with signs of tears.

Dizzily walking over to open the door, it was a confidential secretary from the forward command. This young female secretary did not show any emotions as she said, ”First Lieutenant Tian, General Bernadotte has ordered you to go to his office as soon as possible.” Saying that, she did not care about Fatty’s reaction and just turned and walked off.

Fatty did not have the heart to care about her; he who was used to sleeping in the nude went back mechanically to wear his pants.

Pants… F***!

No wonder that confidential secretary had a weird expression.

After wearing his clothes, he took the medal with him customarily. Tian Xing Jian soon rushed over to the office of Bernadotte, with You Na opening the door for him.

Fatty thanked her simultaneously with entering the office laterally.

The huge office was filled with people. Other than Bernadotte and several other generals whom he had seen frequently, there was also Federation President Hamilton, the Supreme Headquarters’ General Sergei Eisenstein, several major generals, and lieutenant generals who were sparkling.

Tian Xing Jian could not help but heave in a breath of cold air as he saluted to General Bernadotte, ”General, Federation First Lieutenant Tian Xing Jian reports to you. Please give your orders.”

The office that was filled with people talking cheerfully and wittily had suddenly quietened down. A general whose back was facing him turned around before staring at Tian Xing Jian with an expression of disbelief as if he saw a ghost: ”‘It’s him?!’

This general was none other than Russell, and the person whom he was asking—Bernadotte—had merely smiled and nodded: ”At ease, First Lieutenant… That’s right, General Russell, he is the person who saw through your combat plans twice. It’s not us generals, but instead, it was Staff Officer Tian of the 6th Research Unit from the combat planning department.”
