Chapter 53： Delay

A long time ago, the military and government of the Imperial Alliance were completely separated, but after the implementation of the energy shield system, the empire reduced a lot of troops, and the military power was gradually weakened. Now, the main appointments of the military department are made by the commander-in-chief of the military department and the Senate Elders discuss the decision together.

As a result of their discussion, the emperor has a veto power. If the emperor does not veto, then he can be appointed in this way.

This is the most difficult time for them.

Old Marshal Gu Zehai is not only the commander-in-chief of the military department, he is also the head of the empire.

Although after the Queen's death, Old Marshal Gu Zehai seldom showed himself as the head of state. But everyone was like Ming Jing in their hearts, the status of that person did not decrease because of the queen's death, on the contrary, it was slightly higher. Because of guilt, the emperor did not dare to be too strong in front of the marshal.

In this empire, the person His Majesty fears most must be the old Marshal.

On the one hand, there is someone who respects even the emperor, and on the other hand, there is Chu Fengyuan who has interests.

Regarding Gu Huan's proposal for promotion this time, everyone tried their best to come up with the best solution, trying to make it passable on both sides.

"What will the old marshal think?"

"It's about Gu Huan's promotion. The old marshal was Gu Huan's guardian, and now he's Gu Huan's teacher. He wants to avoid suspicion, so as not to fall into the trap of using someone as a relative. So where to send Gu Huan, it's not up to the end. He won't speak up."

Even so, they could not offend the old marshal.

What Chu Fengyuan meant was to split Gu Huan's army into several parts, no matter what means were used.

They thought that promotion is also a good way.

The old marshal also said it in the past, and Chu Fengyuan's idea was also completed.

This was the idea of ​​those elders who had interests with Chu Fengyuan, and the other elders who were closer to the prince firmly disagreed with them.

When He Yuncheng appeared belatedly, the elders looked at each other and fell silent.

He Yuncheng was the one who voiced the most opposition in the last small meeting, and behind him were the newly elected elders.

Hey, after Elder Jin was gone, their small group became more and more unstable. Now even the small meeting of their elders did not have a unified opinion. When they meet the old marshal later, will they really be able to do what Chu Fengyuan ordered them to do?

Just as they sighed, a group of soldiers followed into the meeting room.

When they raised their heads, the old Marshal still looked like a kind old man. The young man standing beside him attracted their attention. I couldn't help being taken aback.

This was the first time they had actually seen the general.

The name Gu Huan had appeared many times in the round table meeting, but they still couldn't help being a little surprised when they saw the young man appear.

The last time they were so amazed... was Queen Gu.

After regaining their senses, several elders, He Yuncheng and others stood up at the same time, and greeted the two who had come from afar.

"Old Marshal Gu. General Gu."

"Elders, you are welcome."

Gu Zehai nodded lightly, and Gu Huan respectfully saluted.

Gu Zehai walked towards the seat reserved for him in front of the round table. Gu Huan waited half a step behind Gu Zehai, felt a gaze, and immediately turned his head to look at the person who had been watching him.

The other party shook his head lightly at him.

Gu Huan frowned slightly, nodded his head lightly, and followed Marshal Gu to sit on the chair brought by the robot.

Seeing Gu Huan nod his head, He Yuncheng breathed a sigh of relief.

The two index fingers are clasped together, and the elbows are propped on the table.

"Since everyone is here this time, let's talk about today's business, how to promote the position of Admiral Gu Huan." He Yuncheng turned his head and turned to today's protagonist.

"What does General Gu Huan think of himself?"

Facing the gazes from all directions, Gu Huan said without any panic. "The commander of the legion is very good."

"This is impossible. You are now a general. The position of army commander is too low. No matter how you say it, you have to be a commander."

One of the elders of the Senate immediately vetoed it, pulled out the interstellar map, and swiped his fingers from east to west.

All the rich places were allocated to Gu Huan directly.

"Let me see. This place is good, and the entire star field is entrusted to you. You are the commander."

Gu Huan: "..."

If he didn't know that this elder supported Chu Fengyuan, he would have thought he was one of his own.

Another elder came next to him, looked at Gu Huan's expression, saw that he was not satisfied, and made another suggestion.

"That area tends to be frequented by interstellar pirates, and there are too many things. This star field is better. This star field is safe, with little right and wrong, and safe."

Gu Huan just wanted to speak, but before he opened his mouth, an elder followed up.

"That star field has few things to do, so how can you make meritorious deeds. I think this star field is just right, and being rich is not particularly comfortable."

The old marshal coughed lightly.

The elders who threw sugar-coated cannonballs finally stopped their posture of bewitching Gu Huan.

Elder He must have gotten angry with the old marshal, it's useless to talk about it now, it's better to start from the bad side.

Instead of talking about where to go after the promotion, let's talk about the dismantling of the legion first.

"General Gu, your raid group is all elite."

"Since it is an elite, it happens to be able to lead other legions. Each legion has hundreds of people. Isn't that a good way to improve the overall strength of the army?"

"Yeah yeah."

"I know that you have feelings for your soldiers, but this kind of splitting and reorganization of the army is very common, and it's not like they will never see each other again. Maybe the next time the army is reorganized, you will meet again? General Gu Huan must focus on the overall situation, after becoming the commander, I guarantee that you will have at least tens of thousands of soldiers."

Gu Huan frowned.

It's one thing to have gotten along with each other, but on the other hand, he really needs such an experimental field, which can't be decided by a few soldiers.

"You really want to dismantle this legion for this reason?"

He Yuncheng immediately interjected.

"Who gives you instructions in private, you know it in your heart."

"this matter."

"I agree to promote Gu Huan, but to move his army, I firmly disagree." Elder He stretched out his hand and patted the table.

"..."

The scene fell into silence for a moment.

Gu Huan's eyes flickered, and he spoke in the silence.

"Since we are going to lead other regiments and make progress together, I have no objection."

"But after a while, they have to come back."

The elders who just played the emotional card wanted to look at each other.

"This... this is not impossible."

After dismantling his soldiers and promoting him again, he will not be able to go back if he is ambitious.

Gu Huan's side is not easy to persuade, but the soldier's side may not be difficult to persuade.

As they thought this way, several elders with ulterior motives immediately had an idea.

Then one of them nodded, and the others immediately followed.

"so be it."

"I agree."

He Yuncheng saw that Gu Huan took the initiative to propose, although he knew that they must have bad intentions, but he couldn't say anything more.

"Since Admiral Gu Huan also thinks this is appropriate, then so be it."

"Those star fields mentioned earlier, look where you want. You have been promoted, and you can't stay in a small military area anymore. Which of these star fields do you prefer?"

The elders who pointed out all the good places just now felt a little remorse in their hearts.

If they had known that Gu Huan was so easy to talk to, they wouldn't have mentioned those good places.

But that was what they had already said, just like water that was spilled, it was hard to take it back.

"Just...here."

Gu Huan looked around and saw a familiar place.

Canaan star field.

The Canaan star field is close to the capital star field, and the geographical location is good. What's even better... Jialin star is in the Canaan star field, so he doesn't even need to change his base camp.

They had mentioned so many places, but in fact, he only took a fancy to this one place at a glance.

...

After coming out, he ran into Elder He who hadn't seen him for a long time. Seeing that Elder He seemed to have something to discuss with him, Gu Huan greeted Old Marshal Gu Zehai, then turned and walked towards him.

"Congratulations, General Gu Huan, commander of the Jialin galaxy's military region."

"I didn't expect... to be promoted from regiment commander to commander of the military region so quickly."

Gu Huan felt that he had no intention of climbing up.

But everything around him is pushing him to climb up, and the speed of promotion is like a rocket.

"Although some people have left, don't be discouraged, they can be cultivated back."

"I don't think most of them will go..."

Gu Huan felt that at least half of his army could come back.

Keppel should be able to come back. Because of this achievement, Mo Xiao became a brigadier general. Being a regiment commander in one place is enough. It is understandable if he doesn't want to come back after being assigned.

He was moved because he saw that they gave him a star field.

A planet is too small to organize military exercises, but if that star field is his own military region, there is no need to report. He really wants this convenient condition to organize mecha training.

If someone were to leave his Legion with a better future, he was in favor.

"I'm relieved if you can think like this. If you tell me about the Zerg infestation during the bug tide period today, things will definitely become more complicated."

Gu Huan pursed his lips in silence, He Yunguo was really reminding him not to say that.

He really wanted to put forward the Zerg threat theory, but He Yuncheng reminded him, of course he couldn't say it.

"Although I don't know who the real person should be afraid of, but you have reminded me so repeatedly, it is impossible for me not to understand."

There must be a reason why Chu Fengyuan would rather dismantle his army if he was promoted. This reminded Gu Huan of He Yuncheng's previous reminder.

——"Take the time to train your army and train your own abilities. Let yourself be synonymous with strength and let everyone believe that you can lead them to defeat everything and overcome fear, even if they want to take away your strength and force you to The Zerg bow their heads, and you can say no."

Someone will try to take his power away.

Start by breaking down his Legion structure.

"You did very well."

He Yuncheng patted Gu Huan on the shoulder.

"I believe you are the one who can break the mold."

Gu Huan nodded slightly, his golden eyelashes covered his eyes, and said calmly.

"Elder."

"I'm just a general."

"I'm just following in someone else's footsteps."
