Ch52 - Promotion

For several days in succession, the headlines of the optical network were overwhelmingly reporting this incident, and the headlines of the reports became more and more exaggerated.

#Andrew: I thought the fight had just begun, but it turns out it’s almost over. # 

#Why should the number of reinforcements be reduced, interview with General Gu Huan: They are not qualified#

#Don’t ask, asking if the enemy's too stupid#

The photos of Gu Huan and Mo Xiao were placed in the war section, which always makes people think that they have entered the entertainment section by mistake. They are comparable to the appearance of entertainment stars, so that boys and girls who have never been interested in war rarely pay close attention to the war section. The hot topics went on for several days.

[General Gu Huan’s subordinates are really powerful, starry eyes! ! ! ] 

[General Gu Huan is a beauty, and his subordinates seem to be all beauties too, I love red-haired beauties. ]

[Have you seen the video recorded by the frontline reporter? It’s too powerful, those mecha soldiers can’t compare with our army’s mecha, when did we have such powerful mecha fighters? General Gu Huan’s army is too strong!!!]

[Gu Huan: Basic operation. Do not question]

[orz don’t ask me why I’m kneeling here to watch the video. really handsome]

This victory not only affected the general public’s understanding of the mecha team, but also attracted the attention of the military.

Before waiting for Mo Xiao to come back, Gu Huan was called by the old marshal to the military headquarters of Capital Star.

Walking into the marshal’s mansion that had some antique flavor, some images gradually appeared in Gu Huan’s mind. 

The original owner lived here when he was a child.

Walking through the corridor and the wooden carved door, he looked at the old marshal who was watering the potted plants and stood still, saluting him as straight as a ramrod.

“Laoshi.”

“You’re here, Xiao Huan.” The old marshal replied cordially while lowering his head and caring for the flowers. 

Gu Huan nodded slightly, and hadn’t stood there for a while, when he saw the old Marshal Gu Zehai waving at him.

“Why are you standing so far away, Xiao Huan, come and help me look at this flower, can you help me?”

Gu Huan’s eyes moved slightly on the potted plant, he moved obediently, walked up to the old man, and looked at the potted plant.

This is a pot of withered azaleas. 

Gu Huan took the flower out of the flowerpot neatly with his white gloves, and carefully examined the root part of the flower.

“Fortunately, it can be saved.”

After judging whether it could be saved, Gu Huan took the scissors from the old man without hesitation, and skillfully trimmed the withered branches, leaves and rotten roots, and then moved the flower to a new flower pot and filled it with soil. After pouring water, he raised his head and said to the old marshal.

“That’ll be fine.” 

“Afterwards, put it in a well-ventilated place, raise it a little more, and it will be saved.”

“I don’t have time to chat with him after taking care of the flowers and plants every day. He is very lonely.”

“…” Gu Huan choked for a moment.

Chu Xinglin even told the old marshal about this. 

It is estimated that Chu Xinglin did not hide the fact that the two of them live together now.

Just as Gu Huan thought, it didn’t take long for the old man to mention Chu Xinglin’s living in his house.

“The other day I heard from him that he is living in your house now, and I was still worried… After all, you two have completely opposite personalities. Will there be conflicts if you live too close?”

No matter how good of a friend, when he becomes a roommate, it still needs to be adjusted. 

At first, Gu Zehai worried whether Chu Xinglin’s whim would make the two of them separate.

“But later, every time he contacted me, he would mention your matter, so I was relieved that you got along well.”

Looking at the old man’s gratified eyes, Gu Huan felt a little guilty.

More than good. 

They rolled on the bed for two days, almost doing everything except for the last step.

Moreover, he is still just using his grandson as a tool man…

Because of this kind of guilty conscience, Gu Huan pursed his lips, and asked in a rare and tense voice.

“Don’t you think it’s strange that he lives in my house?” 

Even if you live in a close friend’s house, it’s been a while.

He is a prince and has a lot of territory and family property. Although Jialin Star is very close to the capital star, it is not the capital star after all. It is not convenient to go in and out of the parliament, the palace, and the military headquarters.

Old Man Gu frowned sharply.

Seeing the old marshal’s expression, Gu Huan nervously squeezed his fingers tightly, and heard… 

“Did he annoy you?”

Gu Huan: “…No.”

“If he annoys you, I’ll tell him to leave your house immediately. That bastard does things by whim. When he was young, he even drove mecha to a planet infested by Zerg for one night. Where could he live? It’s not strange to live anywhere. Living in your house, I think at least someone can look at him a little. ” 

The old man mentioned Chu Xinglin very intimately, as if Chu Xinglin was only three or four years old in his eyes.

Hearing about Chu Xinglin’s mischief in the past. Gu Huan opened his lips in surprise.

Drive a mecha to live on a planet infested with Zerg for one night?

How could he describe this? If he just ran away from home, you can still say that Chu Xinglin is just an ordinary brat. 

But running to a Zerg planet alone, this is beyond the category of bear children, because the bear’s head is far more beyond the limit than that of ordinary people, it seems a bit full of valor and vigor.

Should we say that he is really worthy of the revolutionary prince who always has the spirit of rebellion?

Gu Huan frowned slightly, somewhat disapproving of Chu Xinglin’s risky behavior.

“Why did Your Highness want to go to a planet infested by Zerg?” 

“He was only seven or eight years old at that time. He didn’t believe that the Zerg was very powerful in the textbook. He had to see what the Zerg was like with his own eyes. He drove the mecha and went to a nearby planet. His Majesty was about to die at that time. After looking for him for a long time, I finally found Chu Xinglin who was unconscious on the Zerg planet.”

“Fortunately, the presence of Zergs was just a false news. He didn’t meet real Zergs.” Speaking of this, the old marshal still has lingering fears.

“…was he able to drive mecha at such a young age?” Gu Huan asked.

“He is the prince, and he learned very early what ordinary people might learn only after they go to military school. He knows everything.” The old marshal said and couldn’t help being a little proud. “And Xinglin’s talent is outstanding.” 

Gu Huan still agrees with this point.

The last time he and Chu Xinglin had a duel in the virtual battlefield, Chu Xinglin found a way to break his offensive by looking at his own steps for the second time. At that time, he was shocked and even messed up his attacking steps.

The combat talent is excellent, even if the mental strength is not as good as his, it should also be a bit thorough to manipulate Mecha

Thinking about it this way, Gu Huan couldn’t help recalling the prince in the original book. The character Chu Xinglin is a perfect existence in the whole book, with excellent character, and almost no shortcomings except for some revenge. 

He lived and led everyone to declare war on the Zerg.

After his death, he still became the spiritual pillar of everyone.

And the original owner is just a sharpening stone for this support spiritual leader, so gloomy that it is not worth mentioning.

Gu Huan still couldn’t believe it, that this sun, which should be out of reach, has actually shone into this dark corner of his, and even approached him with an almost humble attitude. 

After learning some interesting facts about Chu Xinglin from the old marshal, Gu Huan was a little dazed. He didn’t come back to his senses until the old marshal put the new flowerpot on a wooden bookshelf.

“Laoshi, you called me this time, what’s the matter?”

Caressing the branches and leaves of the azaleas. The old marshal had a soft expression, and gradually settled down.

“Why.” 

“Such withered flowers, as long as the roots are not rotten, can survive by pruning off the rotten parts.”

“If the roots are rotten, it will be difficult to save them.”

This opening remark made Gu Huan feel a little uncomfortable.

Gu Zehai shook his head lightly, turned around and said to Gu Huan, “Recently, your military position may have some changes.” 

Changes?

His legion is still being built, why change? Gu Huan was a little puzzled.

“Don’t worry, the military rank will only be promoted but not demoted. No matter how thick-skinned they are, they will not have the courage to demote your military rank.”

After all, Gu Huan has actual achievements and has not made any major mistakes, so who can justify his demotion? 

“You now have the rank of General, and the position of regiment commander is indeed a bit lower. If it weren’t for your spiritual power failure, the decision to promote you should have been made long ago.” Mentioning this matter, the old marshal couldn’t help but be concerned. road. “By the way, Xiao Huan, how is your mental state?”

Thinking about how his mental power was controlled, Gu Huan’s fair face couldn’t help but show a thin layer of red. He lowered his head, and said lightly.

“It’s all right.”

“Then I’m relieved.” Gu Zehai immediately felt relieved when he heard Gu Huan say that his mental strength was fine. 

“The promotion is certain.”

Promotion should be a good thing, but Gu Huan did not relax at all.

If only there was only this news. Marshal Gu Zehai’s expression will definitely not be so serious.

“But.” 

“Your assault group may change its organization and can no longer exist as a pure mecha army. Your captain may be sent to various places to be the head of the army.”

Because of Mo Xiao’s action this time, it has attracted the attention of interested people.

Finally someone discovered, or rather, someone felt that the army under Gu Huan was a threat.

“Marshal. You know Chu…His Royal Highness’s plan, no matter whether I am the commander or regimental commander of the army, no matter whether my army is of 10,000 or tens of thousands, I only need an all-around mecha army. ” Gu Huan clenched his fingers. 

Now someone wants to split his army into several parts.

He will absolutely not agree.

He will never give these two thousand and five hundred people to others.

“The Senate is still discussing this and has not yet made a formal decision. I came to you this time because I want you to attend the meeting with me next time. It should be better for you to express your wishes. Regarding your relationship, if I intervene in this matter, they may feel that I have selfish intentions.” 

This is already an improvement. If this kind of thing happened before, there would be no need to discuss it. The Senate would definitely dismantle Gu Huan’s army immediately.

This time they actually started to discuss. It has to be said that Chu Xinglin’s previous cleaning still worked.

No need to think about who is behind this motion.

——Chu Fengyuan. 

There was darkness in Gu Huan’s eyes.
