Crossing to the Future, it's Not Easy to Be a Man Chapter 1067

Chapter 1067 A Plea!

“I understand,” Ling Lan replied suddenly.

“Ah? What?” The chief, who was speaking for the soldiers, was suddenly dumbfounded.

“I said I understand,” Ling Lan reiterated what she said sternly.

“So?” The chief's eyes flickered in excitement. Did this mean that Regiment Commander Ling wanted to recruit soldiers from his department?

“I'm taking everyone from Evil Wind!” Said Ling Lan.

Evil Wind Mecha Team? That useless mecha team that returned from Planet Haijiao? There were probably only 150 or so members. Most importantly, most of Regiment Commander Ling's merits and achievements were also made on Planet Haijiao…

The chief instantly understood why Regiment Commander Ling was here. It seemed that Regiment Commander Ling was here for Evil Wind Mecha Team.

For the past five months, not only did the people of Evil Wind not understand, but also the chief didn't understand why these mecha operators who achieved great feats were tossed aside to this department…

Unfortunately, he was powerless in the grand scheme of things. When he reported this anomaly to the higher-ups, he didn't get any replies. Luckily, Regiment Commander Ling hadn't forgotten about them and came to take them away.

The chief was very happy for Evil Wind and he began to be pumped.

Although Evil Wind had 150 members, Ling Lan was still taking around five percent of the total number of soldiers stationed in his department. However, this was based on the relations.h.i.+p between Ling Lan and Evil Wind. Ling Lan's goal of coming to his department was to take them away, she was not actually swayed by the chief's promotion to sell Evil Wind to her.

Unfortunately, those stronger mecha operators, who were left here for even longer than Evil Wind, didn't have such a chance to restart their careers. This made the chief feel much sadness and regret.

The chief decided to work even harder. He quickly widened his smile and clasped his hands to compose himself. “Evil Wind is very lucky that Regiment Commander Ling has taken a liking to them. However, other than Evil Wind, we actually have many other mecha operators who are great as well. If Regiment Commander still needs soldiers, you can take them and try them out.”

Hearing this, Ling Lan raised her eyebrows. “Oh? There's many capable ones?”

Chance!

Ling Lan's answer made the chief's expression lighten up. He quickly replied, “Regiment Commander Ling, I, Yan Zheng, won't speak any lies. We don't have any peak-level ace operators, but we do have some who have reached elite ace.”

Yan Zheng was undoubtedly a very dutiful chief. He was very knowledgeable of the soldiers stationed in his department so he immediately gave Ling Lan 32 names. These people were all confirmed to have reached elite ace level.

“Of course, this is all just old data. Some mecha operators have not gone to a.s.sess their levels in many years. Perhaps there may be changes, especially those 500 standard ace operators. Perhaps some of them may have advanced into elite ace.”

Yan Zheng was undoubtedly an extremely strict individual. After giving all this data, he also added how dated the data was.

As Yan Zheng was speaking, he was also surrept.i.tiously watching Ling Lan to see whether she was moved by his words.

Unfortunately, Ling Lan didn't show any interest and was as calm as the wind.

Yan Zheng sighed in his mind. Did it mean that it wasn't good enough? He calmed himself and then pleaded with a sliver of hope, “Regiment Commander Ling, I know 250 Ace Mecha Clan has high requirements for mecha operators. They must be at elite aces or above. I also know that the soldiers here don't have a good reputation in the outside world… However, their capabilities and characters are all very good. Please give them a chance, Regiment Commander Ling… At least give them a chance to be a.s.sessed.”

He hoped that Regiment Commander Ling would see their potential, be moved by it and keep them. He didn't want to see these outstanding mecha operators stay here, wasting away their life and their youth.

“If that's the case…,” finally, Ling Lan said something

Yan Zheng looked towards Ling Lan with a difficult expression on his face in hopes that he would hear good news.

“Since Chief Yan already said this much, if I do not agree to it, then won't I be too cold-hearted?” Ling Lan said calmly.

“Regiment Commander Ling, Yan Zheng is beyond grateful,” Yan Zheng said excitedly. He had succeeded!

Yan Zheng was afraid Ling Lan was going to change her mind afterwards, so he immediately continued, “How about this. I will arrange for these 32 elite ace operators to go 250 Ace Mecha Clan to partic.i.p.ate in the a.s.sessment right now.”

….Was he trying to pin all of them on her?' Ling Lan smirked. She definitely wouldn't tell Chief Yan that she was actually here to recruit soldiers and that she would take them all no matter how many there were.

The black-bellied Ling Lan clearly knew that 250 was lacking in soldiers, but she made Yan Zheng think that she was doing him a favor by giving these mecha operators a chance for an a.s.sessment… It had to be said that that in terms of being a black-bellied individual, Ling Lan seemed to have evolved once again.

Yan Zheng and Ling Lan's conversation was heard by everyone in the cafeteria. After hearing that Ling Lan was 250 Ace Mecha Clan's regiment commander, everyone's eyes s.h.i.+ned brightly. However, after hearing that only elite ace operators were allowed to be a.s.sessed, countless eyes were darkened again. This included Captain Qiu, who was not willing to fall down on the ground.

He still hadn't reached the level of elite ace and was off by just a bit. Captain Qiu was frustrated. At this moment, he only longer held any grudge towards Ling Lan. He only hated the fact that he still wasn't an elite ace and missed this opportunity.

Even if they were sent to the unused prep department, as a soldier, they would still pay attention to the battles that were going on in the Federation. The battle on Planet Haijiao was the most casualty-heavy battle in the Federation for the past few millennia.

The battle was originally thought to be a huge loss, but the outcome was changed because of one person. In the end, this battle became the biggest victory of the Federation in the past few millennia. The person who turned the tide and changed the outcome was their 23rd Division's Division Commander Ling Xiao's son, Ling Lan.

This battle made Ling Lan gain respect from all of the soldiers in the Federation. This included those leftover and unruly soldiers from the unused prep department. Thus, after hearing the person who injured him was the legendary Regiment Commander Ling Lan, Captain Qiu's grudge disappeared. After all, he asked for it. If it wasn't because of the fact that he had made a move first, Regiment Commander Ling Lan wouldn't have laid a hand on him.

“So f*cking strong!” Captain Qiu forcefully wiped away the blood smear near the corner of his lips. This was the strength of someone who could create miracles. He lost fair and square.

Ling Lan was still thinking of ways to low-key take away more soldiers. Then, she heard a voice echoed through the cafeteria, “Regiment Commander Ling. If you're willing to give those elite ace operators a chance to be a.s.sessed, then why not give mecha operators like us a chance as well? How can you be sure that none of us would be able to pa.s.s?”

Ling Lan turned around and saw the soldier she had beaten up. He was looking at her with his eyes filled with a glimmering light and the will to fight.

Ling Lan smirked. She was actually getting what she needed. She then though that recently, everything was going according to her wishes. Ling Lan couldn't help but think that maybe G.o.d wanted to compensation her because G.o.d had abused her too much for quite a while now?

“Qiu Yang! What are you blabbering about?” Yan Zheng shouted anxiously.
