A small, streamlined, exquisite voidship sailed out of the flagship, landed in the floating city under everyone's attention, and slowly descended on the central platform.
Grandfather and the head of the Zhang family simultaneously arrived at the door of the aircraft at a seemingly unhurried but actually extremely fast speed. A light blue cold air blew out of the cabin door, and the hatch with the military logo opened, and two guards wearing high-grade military armor walked out.
Colonel-level officers are qualified to garrison a place, and are actually senior officers. They are qualified to be equipped with guards, but the specific number is just a matter of how many.
The general level is called the chief. As long as they have a real military rank, they are all big bosses, such as commanding an entire crystal wall universe.
Although Lin Xiao is only a colonel, he is treated at the high-level brigadier general level, so he is also called the chief.
Moreover, he is an elite rank, which is actually one level higher than the regular rank, equivalent to a regular high-star general.
Military high-level officials are basically elite ranks, and those above the division commander are almost all elite ranks.
It's not that regular military ranks don't have the opportunity to be promoted to high positions, but the military gives priority to elite ranks when promoting important military positions, and ordinary ranks can also be transferred to elite ranks once they have made great contributions.
In other words, those who can be promoted to high positions, even if they are not elite ranks, can generally be promoted to elite ranks once they can make contributions that can be promoted to high positions. This is why all high-ranking bosses are elite ranks, isn't it?
Sun Chenhua is an ordinary regular lieutenant colonel, five ranks lower than Lin Xiao, which is one of the reasons why he is so humble.
After a row of guards came out, everyone had a little murmur in their hearts, this specification is a bit wrong.
"The captain of a mere action fleet doesn't have such a high specification, right?"
The head of the Zhang family and Lin Youde's grandfather looked at each other and could see the doubts in each other's eyes.
"Is there really a big boss coming?"
However, no matter what, this warship is real, the soldiers are real, no matter who comes, they will be greeted.
Thinking about this clearly, everyone continued to greet the figures coming out of the hatch with light blue cold mist surging with expectant eyes.
There were five figures in total. It was obvious from their postures that four people were surrounding one in the middle. When the cold fog dissipated, the five figures appeared in front of everyone. It was obvious that someone recognized them and showed an extremely surprised expression on their face.
Grandfather and the head of the Zhang family almost stepped forward at the same time, and couldn't wait to introduce themselves before their old rivals:
"Your Excellency Commander Sun has come to the Heya plane, which has brought glory to our Lin family. I am Lin Youde, the head of the Lin family, and I warmly welcome the arrival of Your Excellency Commander Sun." After
saying this,
Lin Xiao reached out and gently stroked his forehead, feeling that his forehead was a little goosebumps.
Lin Xu's expression was also a little strange.
But he could understand that for him who was still in the ivory tower of college, it would be disgusting to hear such flattery, but for the real society outside the ivory tower, this was necessary.
Maybe you don't want to say it, maybe others may not like to hear it, but as long as you want to live, you have to force yourself to do some things. If
you don't say it, the head of the Zhang family next to you will say it immediately.
There is a saying that goes, leaders may not remember that you greeted them every morning, but they will remember who didn't greet them.
You can't stay in an ivory tower forever, you will always go out into the world, and then... you have to hear this kind of words often!
Lin Xiao is now an elite colonel, in a high position, and he will probably hear this kind of words often, and he has to adapt.
Lieutenant Colonel Sun swept his eyes over everyone present, paused for a moment on Lin Xiao, and then his eyes fell on the two hands stretched out in front of him, with a smile on his face, and he stretched out his hands to shake Lin Youde.
The grandfather's face was obviously smiling even more, while the smile of the patriarch Zhang was slightly stiff, but he still forced a bright smile.
After shaking hands, they came to the vacant podium on the other side and stood still. The young people of the Zhang and Lin families gathered around. Lieutenant Colonel Sun put his hands in front of him and looked at them, saying:
"This commander is on a routine inspection. I happened to hear about the gambling fight between the Lin and Zhang families in the Heya plane. I am quite interested and came to watch. I wonder if you mind."
"No, no."
Everyone waved their hands. This time, it was the head of the Zhang family who took the lead and said:
"It is an honor for my Zhang family to have Commander Sun to notarize for us. We can't even welcome him. How can we mind?"
When the grandfather heard the words of his old rival, he quickly added:
"My Lin family has wanted to invite Commander Sun for a long time, but we were afraid of disturbing Commander Sun, so we had to give up with regret." He
looked regretful and helpless. If Lin Xiao hadn't known that the family had no connections, he would probably have thought it was true. It's really
a smart person. He said one thing to one person and another to another.
Commander Sun laughed and waved his hands and said:
"Head of the Lin family is wrong. You can come to me next time if there is something interesting like this."
? ? ? ?
Full of question marks, not only was Zhang the clan leader stunned, even his grandfather was confused for a moment, this script was wrong, he tried again:
"Commander Sun, what are you doing?"
Sun Chenhua smiled and said:
"Next time, if you have such a thing, you can come to me, the commander. It happens that I am a little interested in this."
Zhang the clan leader's face changed immediately, and he heard the anxious voice of his eldest son:
"Father, something is not right. How did this old man Lin Youde get in touch with Commander Sun?"
He frowned and thought carefully. He raised his eyelids and scanned his old rival and Lieutenant Colonel Sun, and said in a voice transmission:
"No, the old guy didn't get in touch with Commander Sun."
"Then how could Commander Sun..."
"Commander Sun took the initiative to show his goodwill to the old guy!"
"How is this possible."
"Yeah, how is this possible."
He was puzzled, but this was not the time to think. He quickly said to Lieutenant Colonel Sun:
"So Commander-in-Chief Sun likes this. It just so happens that today is the day when my Zhang family and the Lin family are going to have a bet. It's better to come at the right time than to come at the right time. How about Commander-in-Chief Sun be the notary to notarize this bet?"
"Father, isn't Commander Sun showing his goodwill to the old man? Why do we have to ask him to notarize it? Isn't this disadvantageous to us?"
Patriarch Zhang scolded:
"Stupid, Commander Sun has to consider his status as a notary and dare not be too biased. We still have a chance. If we continue to let Captain Li be the notary, subordinates don't need to talk about status and face, they just need to follow the boss's wishes. If we directly favor the tank, it will be difficult for us to win."
At this time, Lin Youde, who was surprised and puzzled, and was racking his brains to imagine how he had a relationship with Commander Sun, immediately reacted when he heard his old opponent's words, but after thinking about it, he didn't know what to say. Lieutenant Colonel
Sun just showed inexplicable kindness, and he also said that he was interested in this kind of gambling fight. He couldn't object now.
However, to everyone's surprise, Lieutenant Colonel Sun rejected the proposal of Patriarch Zhang. He waved his hand and said:
"Since you have already invited the captain of the Seventh Action Fleet to notarize this gambling fight, how can I cross the line and take over? The notarization will still be presided over by the captain of the Seventh Action Fleet." Patriarch
Zhang's face sank, and Lin Youde was happy. The expressions of the two were completely opposite.
But just like Grandfather didn't dare to say it just now, Chief Zhang didn't dare to persuade you to come, and could only keep it in his heart.
The expressions of the Zhang and Lin families were the same as their respective chiefs, some were happy and some were depressed.
Chief Zhang Yan of the Zhang family returned to his platform with a blank expression. Several sons surrounded him. The eldest son whispered:
"Father, don't worry. We are stronger than them as a whole. Even if Captain Li is completely biased towards the Lin family, it's still a 50-50 chance. Let the members of the tribe who are going to fight cheer up. Even if it's really like Tian Ji's horse racing, as long as the other three members of the tribe win a game except Taihua and Zecheng, we will win this bet."
"Besides, Captain Li may not be completely biased towards them. My son will contact Captain Li now, even if it costs."
He suddenly turned around and looked at the people behind Lieutenant Colonel Sun who was joking with Chief Lin, and said in surprise:
"Where is Captain Li? Why didn't he come?"
When he said this, the others also realized and looked around.
Zhang Yan, the head of the Zhang family, had a bad feeling in his heart, and hurriedly shouted to Lieutenant Colonel Sun:
"Commander-in-Chief Sun, where is Captain Li?"
Lieutenant Colonel Sun showed a look of sudden realization, clapped his hands and said:
"There is one thing I forgot to tell you, Captain Li has been transferred back to the sub-base, and now the captain of the seventh operation ship is someone else. Another purpose of my coming here this time is to announce the letter of inauguration."
He suddenly waved in a certain direction and called out kindly:
"Captain Lin Xiao, please come over."
Everyone looked in the direction of his wave, and fell on the surprised Lin Xiao.
"Me?"
He pointed at his nose and was quite surprised. This was really surprising. He was still wondering what method Lieutenant Colonel Sun used to help the Lin family cheat, but he didn't expect it to be this trick.
Someone pushed him out from behind. His grandfather was surprised and beckoned. A gentle invisible force brought him over. He looked at his grandson, then at Lieutenant Colonel Sun, and asked with disbelief:
"Commander-in-Chief Sun, are you talking about my grandson Lin Xiao?" Lieutenant Colonel
Sun smiled and nodded:
"Of course it's Captain Lin Xiao."
At the same time, he secretly transmitted a message to Lin Xiao's ears:
"Captain, how about this arrangement? You will be the notary and make the rules for this gambling fight yourself."
"This arrangement is too cool!" It
was completely beyond his expectations.
But then again, this arrangement is indeed possible. It perfectly solves his problem and can also show off.
At least now, everyone in the Lin family and the Zhang family stared at him with their mouths wide open as if they had seen a ghost. His mother even stared at him with her big eyes wide open, looking confused, as if she didn't understand what was going on. After a long while, she held her husband's hand and asked,
"When did our son become a captain?"
Lin Haolin's mentality was better. He quickly digested this shocking news, but digestion was digestion, which didn't mean he could understand it. He didn't know what was going on.
Compared to the Lin family, although they were shocked, it was good news for them anyway. For the Zhang family, Colonel Lin's words were like a bolt from the blue. After a short moment of shock, someone shouted,
"How is this possible!"
