Chapter 1176
“Did you find out which faction this new commanding officer belonged to?” Ling Lan asked .
“Major General Ye Kui from the Ye family . They seemed to have formed a collaboration with the second marshal but still maintaining a good relationship with the other two marshals . Hence, all three marshals might have agreed to this appointment . The main goal of this appointment is to take the Li family down a notch . After all, the two successors of the Li family are in your mecha clan . They are using the Li family to suppress you,” Li Lanfeng replied with contempt .
“Do you mean that the Li family is placing all their bets on me?” Ling Lan raised her eyebrows .
Li Lanfeng gave an ambiguous smile . “From the looks of it now, yes . ” If his grandfather still couldn’t see who was the real king, he wasn’t worthy of being the family head . Sometimes, he felt that his grandfather knew this all along but he just never told him .
Ling Lan wasn’t surprised . She knew that the Li family would continue to support her as long as she was still useful to them .
“Where is Ye Kui?” Since Lingtian was still in control of Base Nebula, Ye Kui should be under their control too . He must be having a bad time .
“He’s at the dormitory district . ” Li Lanfeng smiled . “He’s restricted from leaving the compounds . ”
“You’re so bold . Aren’t you afraid that he will complain to the military headquarters?” Ling Lan smiled as she glanced at the crowd . She realised that these people had become bolder after following her . They even dared to lock up a commanding officer .
“We were finding spies in the base so Major General Ye has to suffer a little . He is prohibited from all kinds of communication . ” Li Lanfeng suddenly turned serious .
Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong couldn’t help but smile when they heard this . Li Lanfeng’s decisive act of locking Ye Kui up helped to stabilise the situation in Base Nebula . They felt that in terms of ruthlessness and decisiveness, they couldn’t be compared with him . No wonder their regiment commander left him at the base .
“Good . We must keep Base Nebula safe . This is the foundation of our journey to being an independent army . ” Ling Lan commented on Li Lanfeng . Since her father wanted Lingtian to become an independent army, she mustn’t let anyone disrupt the plan .
“Independent army?” The three of them looked at Ling Lan in astonishment . Lingtian becoming an independant army affected many parties so before the official announcement, the news of Lingtian becoming an independent army was kept a secret by the military headquarters . Thus, the people at the base didn’t know about this .
“If no accidents happen, yes . ” Ling Lan nodded . There would definitely be a battle before they really became an independent army . However, she believed that her father would take care of it .
Although she never mentioned it, Ling Lan had always hoped that Lingtian would become an independent army . She had always been on the outside looking in in the battle for power . She was helpless when she saw her father getting impeded in his path . But, when Lingtian became an independent army, she wouldn’t have to be a bystander anymore . She could be a participant and help her father . Her father wouldn’t have to fight all alone anymore .
“The time will come soon . ’ This was the last time she would bear with this sense of helplessness .
Ling Lan clenched her fist secretly . Ever since she entered the military, she had been controlling herself . Every step she took was done carefully so that she wouldn’t create trouble for her father . Finally, her efforts paid off . It was time for her to reap the fruits of her labour . Everything was worth it in the end .
The three of them felt exhilarated after receiving Ling Lan’s confirmation . They knew what becoming an independent army truly meant . This was the dream of all independent mecha clan . All of them hoped that Lingtian would become an independent army but they thought that this would happen many years later . Yet, it was happening now . They wondered if they were dreaming
Ling Lan didn’t care about their shock . She just went past them to the dormitory where Ye Kui was resting . Li Lanfeng made the right decision but it would undoubtedly offend Ye Kui and the Ye family, as well as the people supporting them . As the regiment commander, she needed to take care of these implications so that Li Lanfeng’s future wouldn’t be affected .
The two soldiers on duty were both lieutenant colonels . Ling Lan recognised them . They were veteran soldiers who had been with Lingtian since its inception . She didn’t expect them to be sent over to watch over Ye Kui .
“Regiment commander!” The two relaxed soldiers immediately stood up straight and greeted Ling Lan energetically .
“Old Yuan, Old Jin, thanks for your hard work . ” Ling Lan had a good memory so she remembered who they were .
“No problem . ” The veteran soldiers feel elated after being acknowledged for their hard work . They didn’t expect their regiment commander to remember their names . They felt touched .
Ling Lan rarely spoke . Normally when she did, it was an order or instructions for training . Besides the team leaders who had to talk to her to report the training progress, no one dared to get close to Ling Lan, much less talk to her . No one wanted to freeze to death .
Everyone was afraid of their merciless and cold regiment commander but they knew that she was a responsible person . Everything she did was for their benefit . However, when they knew that their fierce regiment commander even remembered their names, the feelings bloomed inside them was indescribable .
[A scholar dies for his bosom friend . ] Although they were just a member of the mecha clan, they still understand the phrase . They were willing to fight for their regiment commander and even risk their lives for her .
Ling Lan didn’t expect her greeting to have such a huge impact . To her, knowing the members of her soon-to-be army was part of her job .
Ling Lan asked Liu Furong and the other three people to wait outside while she entered the place herself . The first thing she saw was a huge courtyard with many plants and flowers planted inside . Some parts of the soil had been turned over to plant new flowers . This must be done within these two days .
This person had his freedom taken away but he still remained composed and even had the time to play with plants . This Ye Kui wasn’t a simple person! Ling Lan made a judgment .
The main door opened and a middle-aged man around forty years old walked out .
The middle-aged major general was stunned for a moment when he saw a young major general standing in the courtyard . Soon, he realised who it was and asked, “Major General Ling?”
“Major General Ye,” Ling Lan replied calmly .
“You’re back . ” Ye Kui smiled . “This means that Base Nebula is totally under your control . ”
Ling Lan answered, “I just want to know why did you get yourself involved in this mess?”
“I was thrown here by the higher authorities . I have no choice . ” Ye Kui didn’t conceal the truth .
“Ye family?” Ling Lan liked to go straight to the point .
Ye Kui smiled slightly . “It’s a long story . Why don’t you come in to have some tea?”
Ling Lan nodded . “Suits me . ”
