Girls und War

The City Alliance continued to ramble, "You want me to live a peaceful life, and I want to rise to the top. But you don't let them take risks, and instead block their path to success. Who hasn't thought about death when they're out there? If you block someone's path to success, it's like a revenge for your father's death, big boss~"

Seeing that this guy was about to start acting like a teacher again, Qin raised her foot and kicked the injured leg of the City Alliance, almost suffocating her.

Without waiting for the City Alliance to react, she turned around and left as if nothing had happened.

Then, Qin ignored the cursing behind her and handed the sniper rifle to another super-sized beautiful girl who came down from the helicopter.

This person was none other than the·Mouse·Xiaozhong, who had followed Qin for some time.

Xiao Zhong took Qin's sniper rifle, with a little hesitation on his face.

Qin saw her expression and said, "Why, you can't bear to see me deal with your benefactor?"

Xiao Zhong forced a smile and said nothing.

Qin then lectured her, "There are no friends on the battlefield. Only by giving every enemy your all is the greatest respect. Especially someone like Xia Shu, I wish I could blow her up with a nuclear bomb. You still can't bear to become her opponent?"

Xiao Zhong quickly shook his head and said, "No."

"Forget it." Qin waved her hand and said, "I didn't expect you to be a match for Xia Shu. I guess you'll be better off fighting her apprentice in the future."

Then he asked, "Have you finished today's training?"

"Done!" Xiao Zhong nodded naively.

"Then come over here and play two more rounds with me."

As he spoke, he took off his coat and walked towards the combat training ground on the ship.

Xiao Zhong followed her like a follower.

After the battle, Xia Shu withdrew from the battlefield and returned to the staff department of the Army Headquarters.

She was too lazy to take care of the aftermath of the battlefield, and whether the sniper rifle could be recovered was not that important.

She almost lost her life this time, and she was already very satisfied to be able to come back alive. She didn't dare to ask for too much in other things.

After returning to the General Staff Headquarters, Jun Ci came to greet her immediately and took her into the office.

The two sat down on their sides. Jun Ci tossed Xia Shu another bottle of soda water, then looked at Xia Shu and said with a smile, "I heard that your experience over there was very uncomfortable? Were you surrounded and attacked by the City Alliance?"

Xia Shu shook his head, sighed, and said, "Don't mention it. We were almost surrounded and killed in the mountains. The arrangements in the snow area were really poor. After so long, we still haven't completely taken over the mountains in the earth area."

Jun Ci laughed and said, "Don't blame them. Right now, the three fronts in the Snow Region are all fighting. It's normal that the big oil fields can't spare any men to defend them."

Xia Shu nodded, indicating that he understood, and then asked, "What about the arrangements for the Flower District? Will they join forces with the Snow District to help them clean up the mountains?"

"How can we be so free as to do good things for others?" Jun Ci smiled and shook his head, then changed the subject and said, "So, how are you and that little girl Xuelang getting along?"

"She..." Xia Shu touched his lips subconsciously, then replied calmly, "She's fine. People say she's arrogant and doesn't like to talk, but I think she's relatively easy to communicate with."

"Then you may be different from others." Jun Ci showed a playful expression.

"Well, let's not talk about that. I have something else I want to ask you." Xia Shu opened the soda water and took a sip, then asked, "City Alliance, what's going on with her anti-sniper team? Is that her regular force?"

"Oh... well..." Jun Ci was silent for a moment, then said, "The City Alliance is one of the few ace snipers with the rank of colonel. You know this, right?"

Natsuki nodded and said, "Haruka, the Jounouchi, and the Rabbit God, they are all school officers. I know this."

"She was able to become a colonel thanks to this anti-sniper team." Jun Ci continued.

760. Promoted Again

"The reason why the City Alliance is so powerful isn't just because she's the fifth-ranked sniper ace. Oh? Is she seventh now? Then I'm mistaken."

Jun Ci nodded and continued, "But even though she's number seven, we generally believe she's just as difficult to deal with as the first and second."

Xia Shu thought about it and asked, "Because she prefers being the leader of an anti-sniper team to being a sniper?"

Jun Ci nodded.

Xia Shu fell into deep thought.

Then, Jun Ci said, "Speaking of which, your rank should be changed. Let's go to the management department."

Xia Shu was stunned for a moment, then asked, "So fast?"

"Not fast," Jun Ci said with a smile, "don't forget that you used to be a sergeant major."

After saying that, he took Xia Shu downstairs and walked towards the secretary-general's office of the management department.

The Secretary General of the Administration Department, like the Chief of Staff of the General Staff Department, is the head of the Army Headquarters.

The secretary general's name is Yanweidie and his military rank is lieutenant general.

Basically, all promotions, demotions and transfers of officers in the Army Headquarters must be signed by her.

The reason Jun Ci brought Xia Shu here this time was because Xia Shu's promotion order had been approved and he could be promoted as long as the Secretary-General signed it.

After arriving at the office, the secretary-general's secretary asked the two to wait outside for a while.

After a while, she brought the two of them in.

After entering the office, the two men immediately saluted the lieutenant general girl sitting in the main seat.

Vice Admiral Swallowtail Butterfly stood up and returned the greeting, then asked them to sit down and asked his secretary to bring Xia Shu's promotion documents.

After taking a look at it and confirming that it was correct, the lieutenant general signed the document and showed Xia Shu the approval on the document.

Often, such promotion documents are issued in batches, with a group of officers approved for promotion at one time.

But Xia Shu's document stated that he was being promoted under special circumstances.

The reasons are very sufficient - sufficient qualifications and military merits for promotion; mission requirements, and separate approval.

Translated, this meant that with Xia Shu's military achievements and experience, there was no need for any assessment or evaluation to be promoted to lieutenant. There was a mission that required her to be promoted to lieutenant first, so she was promoted individually, without having to be promoted in batches.

Xia Shu was a little surprised by this. She didn't expect that her promotion would require a lieutenant general to sign for her individually.

This was indeed a big honor, but Xia Shu didn't know what kind of work required her or even a lieutenant to complete.

But Lieutenant General Swallowtail Butterfly didn't seem to take it seriously. After the signing, he asked Jun Ci, "How do you plan the promotion ceremony? Should we keep it simple or something more elaborate?"

Upon hearing this, Jun Ci said, "Let's keep it simple. We still have to arrange tasks later."

The lieutenant general nodded and asked his secretary to file the approval letter. He then asked her to bring the military rank and receipt order, and completed the promotion ceremony in the office.

After the lieutenant general gave Xia Shu a new military rank, she saluted the war zone flag hanging on the wall under the command of the military stab.

After the complaint, the lieutenant general opened the document and solemnly stated, "Today: Second Lieutenant Xia Shu, according to the 'Officer Promotion Rules and Lieutenant Promotion Regulations' issued by the Hua District Military Headquarters, will be promoted from the rank of Second Lieutenant to the rank of First Lieutenant. This order is authentic and valid, and can be checked in the files. Signed by: Secretary General of the Management Department of the Hua District Army Headquarters, Swallowtail Butterfly."

After he finished speaking, the lieutenant general, Jun Ci, and the secretary of the secretary-general in the office applauded.

After the ceremony and the soul infusion was completed, Xia Shu became a legitimate lieutenant in the Flower District.

The three people in the room immediately congratulated Xia Shu, and Xia Shu responded with a smile.

Afterwards, Jun Ci stopped disturbing Lieutenant General Swallowtail Butterfly, said goodbye to her, and politely took Xia Shu out of the Secretary-General's office.

Then, Jun Ci took Xia Shu to the operations office of the General Staff Headquarters. It seemed that there was still some task for Xia Shu to complete.

As they walked along, Xia Shu took the time to ask, "Why are you so anxious to promote me to lieutenant? What position are you going to assign me to?"

Jun Ci smiled and said, "You're quite smart. That's right, didn't the young commander mention establishing a special operations unit? Now we need to build the framework. You will be the leader of this unit in the future."

As they spoke, the two of them walked into the operations office.

There was a lieutenant colonel sitting in the office playing games. When he saw the two people coming, he immediately looked like he had been waiting for a long time and lifted a large stack of documents from under his desk.

"Sign, sign every document." The lieutenant colonel spread out the documents one by one and pointed out the place for Xia Shu to sign.

Xia Shu took a look and saw that they were all signatures of the people in charge of the establishment of the special forces.

After thinking about it, she understood that this meant that all the responsibility and management power of the special forces were placed under her name.

A second lieutenant can only be responsible for the management of a team. Only lieutenants and above can expand the scope of management to a complex organization with different departments.

That's why Jun Ci was so anxious to promote Xia Shu's rank.

After Xia Shu signed the documents one by one, the lieutenant colonel asked the two to wait for a moment and left the office with the documents.

It seems that he went to find the leader for signature.

So the two of them sat on the sofa next to each other, took the tea poured by the robot, and started chatting.

"The size of the special forces being constructed this time is limited to a squad structure. The number of people should not exceed twenty. The young commander only wants to use this troop construction as a trial point. Whether it succeeds or not depends on whether the team you lead can play a role." Jun Ci said while drinking tea.

Xia Shu nodded, then asked, "How about selecting the team members? How should we arrange them?"

"There's no rush for that," Jun Ci said, opening a troop structure on the holographic panel. "Let's first build the framework and arrange the important positions. Then we can talk about selecting the combat personnel."

Xia Shu took a look and saw that the panel was full of support positions such as logistics, communications, and liaison officers from the front line coordination department.

The officers in the management department were naturally more adept at constructing these positions. Even if Xia Shu were to choose, she wouldn't be able to come up with a clear idea.

As for the combat personnel, since the young commander has appointed Xia Shu as the head of the special forces, the right to select personnel is naturally in Xia Shu's hands.

After that, she would have to think carefully about how to select those truly useful talents.

At this time, Jun Ci said again, "However, this matter has not yet come to a conclusion. The young commander wants you to learn how to manage the troops during this period of time."

Xia Shu nodded and asked, "Where can I learn?"

Upon hearing this, Jun Ci smiled and said, "You are familiar with this place, it's a frontline combat unit."

-

The Secretary General of the Commander's Office will be renamed the Chief of Staff. The Secretary General refers to the head of the management department.

Don't ask, it's a sensitive word.

761. Who is the lieutenant colonel’s sweetheart?

The officer from the operations office came back not long after he left.

She brought the notice of the establishment of a new department, the Special Operations Department, and the title of team leader belonging to Xia Shu.

However, this department is now just an empty shell, and the captain's power that Xia Shu possesses is a nominal position.

What interested her more was what Jun Ci said about the front-line combat troops.

As the two of them walked towards the next place, Xia Shu asked, "So you want to assign me to the front-line combat unit? You want me to fight with the team?"

"Of course not." Jun Ci smiled and said, "This time, you are asked to take charge and learn skills. You just need to follow the commander. But what if you are also asked to fight in person?"

After hearing this, Xia Shu asked with a hint of awareness, "Who are you following?"

"You'll know when the time comes." Jun Ci replied with a smile.

Afterwards, Jun Ci took Xia Shu to the military registration management department and handled the procedures for Xia Shu's temporary resignation and transfer to the front-line combat unit.

After the formalities were completed, Jun Ci continued, "Although you're temporarily transferred to a frontline combat unit, your actual observation and training will be with the Frontline Integration Headquarters. However, the Frontline Integration Headquarters' transfer order is a bit difficult to handle. They said that either you're transferred there or you don't come. There's no such thing as a temporary assignment—after all, you're from our Army Headquarters."

Xia Shu was also a little confused when he heard this, so he asked, "So what is going on? How should we arrange it?"

Jun Ci smiled again and said, "It's not that complicated. You'll understand when you get there. Anyway, you'll report there tomorrow. Now, let me take you out for something nice to eat as a farewell."

After hearing this, Xia Shu smiled and nodded.

Then, Jun Ci and Xia Shu took a leave of absence from work early and went out to have a good meal.

Anyway, these two people report directly to the Young Commander's office. They can go to work and leave work as they please, and no one cares about them.

So after everything here was arranged, Xia Shu was picked up by a special car the next day and taken to his old employer, the front-line combat unit camp.

After returning to the regiment headquarters, the person who came to greet me was, as expected, another person who was taking a nap.

When Xia Shu saw the smiling woman in front of him, he had a hunch that something bad was going to happen.

Sure enough, after Jiamei received Xia Shu's transfer order, the first thing he said was, "From now on, you are my exclusive secretary."

Xia Shu looked frustrated and immediately asked, "Is that the arrangement? That's not what Sergeant Major told me."

"So what did she say?" Fake Mei immediately showed a look of shock that couldn't be more fake, then said with a wicked smile, "This is my territory. I have the final say on all arrangements. Don't you know that? My little secretary?"

As he spoke, he lifted Xia Shu's chin with his fingertips.
