The commander of Base Six suddenly asked, "To what rank can I promote Ji at most with my authority?"
This was a question that surprised many. As the base's overall commander, how could he not know the extent of his authority?
But after giving it a thought, everyone grasped his intention. The commander wasn't genuinely inquiring about his authority, but rather, was asking for their consensus.
So, everyone's gaze suddenly converged onto one corner of the command hall.
It was there that Tang Qiao stood. From the moment he received Ji Xinghe's support, he hadn't uttered a single word. It was not clear whether it was his fear of speaking up or his understanding that no one wanted to hear anything he had to say.
"Captain. Your highest authority can directly elevate Lieutenant Ji Xinghe's rank to that of Captain. If you wish to elevate it to the level of Major, it would require upper-level approval."
