"I... can try."

After thinking about it, Chen Ze gave an ambiguous answer.

Of course, he can't tell the secret of the system to old Hua, but at the same time, Chen Ze naturally understands how serious it is that there are spies in the city master's house.

To put it another way, the reason why Hua Lao is watched by secret people is that he has a great relationship.

If it weren't for him, Mr. Hua would still be living in the city of bo'an. How could he be watched by others and become the first thorn in the eye?

Moreover, there are spies in the city Lord's residence, which is not good for anyone, nor is it just a threat to Hua Lao.

"Try?"

After listening to Chen Ze's answer, old Hua didn't ask any more questions and didn't feel dissatisfied. He tilted his head and thought, nodded and said, "then try."

After a moment of silence, they heard old Hua say again, "Chen boy, you have overfulfilled the challenge I gave you at the beginning. What are you going to do later?"

"Why don't you mention your rank tomorrow?"

Raise the rank?

Chen Ze was silent and couldn't help thinking of the scene when he first went to the military aircraft office in bo'an city.

At that time, he just wanted to get the lowest rank first, so that he could develop slowly later.

However, who ever thought about the assessment task provided by HuaLao, Chen Ze's answer recalled the most reluctant memories in the other party's heart. Therefore, HuaLao gave Chen Ze an additional choice with the idea of giving it a try.

It can also be said that it is an additional task. If Chen Ze is willing to accept it and can successfully complete it, he can not only obtain the military rank, but also mention three small military ranks.

It is inconceivable that Chen Ze embarked on the journey, but who knows, his departure is not only to complete the additional tasks mentioned by old Hua, but also to discover the conspiracy of Zhang Chengwang, the former Supreme Commander of Nantes province.

Then it got out of hand. He made great achievements in the battle of bo'an City, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he went to Nantes province for Zheng Yuanyun's reason, and a series of intrigues in Nantes province.

Now I'm back.

In retrospect, isn't it because of the extra tasks provided by HuaLao?

Now, even his current military rank has exceeded the small military rank promised by Hua Lao to him at the beginning, and even reached the third stage of the big military rank, the cooperative leadership rank.

Mr. Hua said that his rank could be mentioned again. It didn't just refer to his original commitment, but the war achievements accumulated by Chen Ze now.

The battle of Nantes province should be said that the Qingyang empire was defeated.

Not only did he not win the whole Nantes Province as planned, but even commander Zheng Yuanyun was killed in battle and lost more than 2 million troops. In any case, he suffered a loss.

But in this inferior situation, at least the three most important main cities of Nantes Province, including the former Xilong City, are all under the control of Qingyang empire.

Even when Chen Ze left, Xilong city was still firmly under control, which gave Qingyang Empire an opportunity to redeploy troops to attack Nantes province afterwards.

From this point of view, the attack was not completely fruitless.

Of course, the failed pot was naturally carried by Zheng Yuanyun. As for Chen Ze, who was strictly ordered by Zheng Yuanyun to stay in Ketan city at the beginning, after Zheng Yuanyun was killed in battle, he could firmly hold the four main cities and reserve an opportunity for Qingyang Empire, which is very rewarding.

That is, war merit.

It's enough for Chen Ze to improve his military rank by virtue of this war merit. That's why old Hua said, mention it.

At least, Chen Ze will no longer be a leader.

However, after thinking about it, Chen Ze shook his head and said, "old Hua, I don't think it's very suitable to upgrade my military rank now."

"Oh?"

Old Hua raised his eyebrows, looked at him meaningfully and said with a smile, "this is the first time I have seen people indifferent to the promotion of military rank."

From Chen Ze's performance, he really didn't see any excitement. This is really the first time to see him in his decades of military career in China.

Whether generals or advisers, what is the purpose of fighting on the battlefield?

Isn't it to upgrade your rank and get better treatment and power?

The higher the rank, the more troops you can receive, and even more confidants and followers you can receive. You can cultivate a loyal team for yourself.

In other words, the stronger the strength.

Who doesn't want to be strong?

People who do not want to change will not participate in the military rank assessment, so as to become a real general.

Chen Ze has made great contributions, and it is still a great credit. Hua Lao naturally understands that although he is the mayor of bo'an at the moment, it means that he will no longer be in charge of military aircraft. But even so, if he can't give Chen Ze special preferential treatment, he can calculate that Chen Ze will be promoted to a large military rank this time, and even jumping two ranks is not impossible.

Chen Zehui doesn't understand?

Of course not.

But he still refused without expression. The promotion of military rank, which all generals will pay attention to, seems to be indifferent to him.

"Tell me what you think."

After expressing his surprise, old Hua asked.

"Yes!"

Chen Ze arched his hand and replied: "first of all, although I have a low military rank, I can have Hua Lao and Luo Zongbing. As long as I think, the total number of troops I can lead will not be too small, at least it can not be the limit of the cooperative leadership rank."

This is a little arrogant. He is very straightforward. My brother has a backstage and can get more troops regardless of the restrictions of military rank.

In fact, since Mr. Jing's Xiyun City, the forces under Chen Ze's command have never been counted according to the military rank of the Empire itself.

Of course, there are reasons for urgent power, but more are the influence of various relationships such as Mr. Jing, Hua Lao and Luo Zongbing, which makes Chen Ze ignore this provision all the time.

Now, first of all, he has returned to bo'an city. It is estimated that there will be no leader in a short time. Secondly, even if he wants to lead the army, with Hua Lao, what does it matter whether his rank is high or low? Can't he still get the greatest resources?

Therefore, for Chen Ze, he has already enjoyed the benefits brought by the military rank. Even in nanthang Province, his military strength once reached more than one million!

This treatment is already comparable to that of the general army. How urgent is Chen Ze's demand for military rank?

With this, Chen Ze paused. Seeing that old Hua had no objection, he said, "in addition, I think I shouldn't take the lead now. I should act secretly. At least find out the spies in the city master's house first!"
