Chapter 1119 - Earth Fleet Taking its Shape

Focusing on training military personnel for the Earth Defense Alliance?

Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up when he thought about this. The more he dwelled the idea, the more he felt he was onto something. He pulled a piece of paper and jotted down a few sentences before adding a few zeros to the end as a budget reference.

“I’m finally done. This is not a one-person job…”

He tossed the pen aside and pushed away the thick stack of documents. He leaned back in the chair and stretched his sore neck and arms.

He hasn’t work this hard for a long time and he wasn’t used to the workload.

His beautiful assistant knocked on the door and came in with a cup of coffee.

When she saw Jiang Chen, who was stretching, she put the cup on his desk and said with a smile.

“Boss, your coffee. Do you need me to add sugar for you?”

“Mhmm, put a few cubes in.”

The assistant put two cubes of sugar into the cup, and understandingly stirred the cup for him with a coffee spoon before she brought the cup to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen sniffed the pure aroma and took a sip of the coffee. The bitterness and sweetness spreaded on his taste buds as he nodded in satisfaction. Not only because of the cup of coffee, but because of the beautiful assistant’s excellent service.

Sure enough, this is the life of a boss.

The assistant’s smile was even more joyous when she saw the smile on Jiang Chen. She raised her hands and moved her fingers.

“Boss, if you are tired, I can help massage your shoulders. My massage technique is great, and every time I helped CEO Xia massage, she always praises me.”

Most of the work was given to the artificial intelligence “Jean”. Rather than being an office assistant, she was more of the life assistant to the president. She really just needed to make Jiang Chen coffee, organize documents, and deliver messages to other departments.

With so few tasks, it was basically impossible to have any achievements in performance. For her, the only way she could get promoted was to do everything to perfection.

For this reason, she learned many other “skills”.

“Then please.”

He was indeed a little tired and did not reject this offer. He turned around his chair and gazed out at Coro City from the floor-to-ceiling window. While he relaxed his tensed state, he felt the two soft and gentle hands massaging his shoulders. They felt so good that he almost moaned.

“Comfortable?”

“Oh, very comfortable… right, what is your name?”

“Hehe… boss you are so rarely here that you can’t even remember my name?”

…

After the second meeting of the Earth Defense Alliance Committee, most of the members stayed in Celestial City, but the executive officer returned to the surface. On the one hand, he was not used to living in space, on the other hand, it was due to an inexplicable sense of lack of security.

On the ground, no matter what danger he encountered, he could escape by using his ability. But in Celestial City, he never even attempted it once.

The reason was very simple. Celestial City was spinning all the time. He could never confirm whether he would appear at the same place or end up drifting somewhere in the vast space.

In fact, Jiang Chen had doubted this a long time ago. The position of his travel ability should not be as simple as the three-dimensional coordinates. After all, the Earth itself was orbiting around the solar system all the time.

Intuition told him that all of this may be related to the mysterious Klein particles.

The drafted “Earth Defense Alliance Research Fund Budget Allocation Proposal” was scanned into an electronic file. It was passed to Kelvin in the Celestial Trade Aerospace Department through Jean for him to make further improvements.

After he took care of these matters, it was almost noon.

After going downstairs with Xia Shiyu for lunch, Jiang Chen estimated it was time, so he drove to the Ange Island Astronaut Training Center.

At the last meeting, some members brought forth the opinions of their country and expressed their willingness to send their soldiers to join the Earth Fleet. Of course, Jiang Chen would not refuse the enthusiastic proposal of the member states. Now Celestial Trade was extremely lacking in astronauts, the million-ton ship would at least require thousands of crew members. If the member states were willing to share some of the pressure for him, he more than welcomed this idea…

If that was really the case.

On the square in front of the main entrance of the Ange Island Astronaut Training Center, a team of burly, sharp-looking men stood under the scorching sun in a neat formation.

Their skin colors were different. Some were from East Asia, some from Russia, and some from Madagascar – the only African countries decided to join the Earth Defense Alliance.

Tourists passing by all stopped, they looked at them with curiosity and awe.

From the vibe of these people, it was not difficult to guess their identity.

The word “military” was almost written on their faces, infused into their blood and bones.

However, at this moment, it was Jiang Chen in front of this team. When he took the list of names from Wu Changfeng, he had a complicated expression.

Undoubtedly, all the countries have treated the Earth Defense Alliance matter seriously. When they heard about the formation of the Earth Fleet, they immediately sent soldiers. Moreover, from the resumes in his hands, all the member states sent elites of the army. The type of soldiers that would be favored by any leader.

However, Jiang Chen knew that this made his work much more troublesome.

Jiang Chen could not help but sigh in his mind.

You guys, I need to form the Earth Fleet. I’m lacking officers who know how to adapt. What is the use of sending me bunch of muscles? Do we need to fight mutants with rifles? What’s the use with all of them just knowing how to listen to orders? It’s going to take me so long to re-educate them.

Jiang Chen was even more determined to establish an aerospace military academy.

Jiang Chen cleared his mind and said loudly in front of the soldiers.

“Your mission for the next three months is to accept the basic training necessary for astronauts here. I assure you that the next three months will be extremely difficult. But I also hope that you will remember that your hard work is for the future of Earth! And for the future of your motherland!”

“DO YOU UNDERSTAND?” Jiang Chen shouted at the top of his lungs.

“UNDERSTOOD!”

Different languages, but the roar resounded in the square and echoed between the buildings.

The roar was like a long sword being pulled out of its sheath, revealing its sheen to the world. All bystanders were moved, and their blood surged in passion.

Although the future war didn’t just depend on passion, these people would ultimately be fighting, and it would be these people that decide the outcome of the war. These officers would serve as a seed, rooting their thoughts and their will in every aspect of the Earth Fleet.

Jiang Chen suddenly felt that it wouldn’t be so bad to have such a group of tough and resilient soldiers as the first group of officers of the Earth Fleet.
