On the day the money arrived, Mei Jie Lin finished twenty sets of strength training, looked at the time, and was shocked: "Oh no, I'm going to miss the conductor's meal!"
When the doors of the red hovercraft slid open to both sides, Mei Jielin stepped on the ground and looked up to see: "The 'divine beast' at the door has changed again?"
Pojun's voice came from somewhere: "Good morning, Miss Meijielin. Yes, this is my new work, 'Mammoth', which was created based on the restoration drawing."
Mei Jielin praised: "It's a very good haircut, it looks very impressive!"
After returning to Leto, Pojun suddenly showed great enthusiasm for gardening and pruning. It is said that he collected a large amount of information from ancient times to the present on the Star Network, and every day he introduced to Zhihui and Qiyan how long the history of gardening is and how much aesthetic value it has.
The commander was tired of the nagging, and after Qi Yan agreed, he handed the green plants at the door to Po Jun, and let him control the brainless gardening robot to click.
After that, the shape of the green plants at the door changed every day. Today it was a hippopotamus, tomorrow it was a chair, and the day after tomorrow it was a destroyer. As for what to do if pruning the branches every day was not enough? Qi Yan allocated some pocket money to Po Jun and allowed him to buy plant growth agents on the Star Network to avoid pruning the branches bald.
Standing at the door without knocking directly, Mei Jie Lin asked cautiously: "Po Jun, can I come in now?"
Last time, she was almost exiled to a remote and desolate planet by Lu Fenghan because she knocked on the door at the wrong time.
From then on, she learned her lesson and asked Po Jun first.
Po Jun: "Sure, the general didn't tell me not to look." Two seconds later he added, "The chief asked me to open the door for you."
There was a scent of food in the air.
Mei Jielin had never experienced this kind of atmosphere since she was a child. When she lived in an orphanage as a child, she ate with other children in the orphanage. After entering the First Military Academy, she had to fight with the surrounding animals for food. When she joined the expeditionary army, she was too lazy to fight for food. If one pack of nutritional supplements was not enough, she would take two packs.
Smelling the aroma, Mei Jie Lin thought that in the future, she would look for someone who was smart, could learn from her, and could also cook. The cooking skills didn't have to be superb, as long as the food was edible.
Seeing a virtual screen floating in front of Qi Yan, typing characters very quickly, Mei Jielin didn't dare to disturb him. She stepped into the kitchen and asked, "Commander, is there anything I can help you with?"
Lu Fenghan asked her to pass the seasoning.
Mei Jielin stayed in the kitchen and thought of a topic: "General Nie means that he wants to hand over the military affairs of the Central/Central Political Region to you?"
There was an internal meeting two days ago, and the military affairs of each administrative region were mentioned. Mei Jie Lin relied on Lu Fenghan's presence and would never let them suffer any loss. She didn't listen very seriously and was secretly browsing the Star Network to read jokes.
The next day came, and I recalled the few words I had heard and got a taste of what they meant.
Lu Fenghan did not deny: "That's what I meant."
"If the defense of each administrative district was a little bit reliable and not rotten, the rebels would not have attacked Leto directly. However, those traitors and spies were killed. It was clean, but there was a shortage of people in each post. In wartime, everyone was on high alert, and General Nie directly coordinated from top to bottom, so there would be no chaos. Now it's hard to say," Mei Jielin concluded. "It's easy to have trouble in peacetime."
Lu Fenghan was wearing a dark shirt with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows. After listening to her, he said, "You've used your brain for once."
"I'm just bored," Mei Jie Lin thought about it. "Command, I think, since you have to take over one of the Central Bank Administrative Region and Messier, Kepler, and Southern Cross Administrative Regions, you might as well choose the Central Bank Administrative Region. After all, General Nie has cleaned up this mess twice, so you don't have to worry about it so much."
At this point, she asked directly: "Commander, is General Nie planning to retire after a few more years?"
She and Lu Fenghan both knew the significance of being in charge of the military affairs of the Central Administrative Region - usually only the Alliance Commander Reserve could do this.
Everyone can see what Nie Huaiting is thinking.
Lu Fenghan understood what Mei Jielin meant: "General Nie privately mentioned that after this battle, his health and energy are not as good as before."
Nodding, hungry, Mei Jielin unceremoniously scooped up a fog fruit in her hand and took a big bite: "What did the chief say?"
"Qi Yan thinks that the Central Administrative District is the most appropriate choice." Lu Fenghan repeated Qi Yan's words, "The merits are too great, so there is no room for choice."
"The Chief is right," Metierin nodded, and Princess Che followed suit, agreeing, "You used to be the youngest brigadier general in the alliance, the youngest commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, and now you are the youngest one-star admiral. If there is no war, no one will be able to break your record in the next hundred years.
In terms of military merit, you led the people to destroy the rebels. In terms of background, you come from a military family. Your father is General Lu Jun, and your guardian is Commander Nie Huaiting.
I was admitted to the First Military Academy as an exception and graduated with honors."
After taking a bite of the mist fruit, Mei Jie Lin concluded: "Commander, if you don't take the position of commander, then no matter who takes the position, you will be the biggest threat. The point is, you are still with the chief of the White Tower, and that is the chief of the White Tower!"
Lu Fenghan did not answer directly, but asked: "What do you think?"
"We listen to you." Mei Jielin answered without hesitation, "We have discussed it. If you need to command you, then Weiyin, Dushan, Long Xiyun, Erich, and I will all listen to your orders. Whatever military affairs you want us to take charge of, we will firmly grasp them and will not hinder you from causing trouble."
Po Jun suddenly spoke up: "General, I just looked up relevant information and found that in history books, those who were too powerful to be respected by their masters basically did not die a good death."
Lu Fenghan: “…”
Mei Jielin laughed loudly, and then said: "See, we Pojun understand!"
As she was laughing, Mei Jie Lin suddenly realized that Lu Feng Han was looking at her, his eyes were judging. With a chill in her heart, Mei Jie Lin took two steps back: "Commander, don't look at me, I definitely can't be the commander-in-chief!"
After saying that, he turned around and disappeared.
After dinner, Mei Jielin was ready to take a ride on Lu Fenghan's hovercraft. Without waiting for Lu Fenghan's eye signal, she and Pojun went out on their own accord, not wanting to be an eyesore.
Squatting next to the "Mammoth", Mei Jielin put her hands on her knees and couldn't help but chat with Po Jun: "Hey, what do you think Commander and Qi Yan are doing now?"
Po Jun: "The commander said I'm still young and it's best not to discuss these adult topics."
Mei Jielin thought it made sense. If you calculate carefully, Pojun is less than one year old and is still a young artificial intelligence.
Po Jun added, "I'm very happy to have Miss Mei Jie Lin here. I was kicked out last night and had to reflect outside for two hours. I couldn't go in before the time came. No one chatted with me."
Mei Jielin became interested: "Tell me, what did you do last night that earned you two hours of punishment?"
Po Jun: "At 3:32 a.m. last night, I turned on a horror movie. Because it was too scary, I activated the screaming program and woke up the general and the chief."
“… A two-hour penalty is really light.” Mei Jie Lin put herself in his shoes and felt that it would be more terrifying if Po Jun activated the screaming program in the middle of the night!
After squatting at the door for nearly an hour, Mei Jie Lin followed Lu Fenghan into the hovercraft and went to the military meeting.
Mei Jielin volunteered to sit in the driver's seat as her hands were itching to touch the joystick after a long time.
Just like Lu Fenghan, he drove the hovercraft as if it were a destroyer. As soon as he got on the fast lane, the system alarm in the car sounded immediately.
Mei Jielin was humming a random tune as background music, and was just having fun when her personal terminal suddenly sounded a notification. She glanced at it casually, and suddenly her expression froze, and she slammed on the brakes.
After giving the hovercraft to Pojun to drive, Mei Jielin turned to Lu Fenghan and said in a trembling voice: "Command, help me count, how many zeros are there?"
Hearing this, Lu Fenghan looked at the account balance displayed on the virtual screen that popped up on her personal terminal: "Twenty-six million, seven hundred and ninety-three thousand, two hundred and thirty-one star coins."
Covering his chest, Mei Jie Lin's eyes were blank. After a long while, he murmured, "Am I the richest man in the expeditionary army now? But I haven't figured out how to refuse them if they ask me to borrow money!"
Po Jun immediately demonstrated his excellent search ability: "Ms. Mei Jielin, I can provide you with 136 proven and effective rejection methods."
"Thank you, Pojun," Meijielin did some calculations in her head again, "but Commander, this amount of money is more than I thought! So, how many people in the expeditionary army have made a firm bet that you won't be able to fire your first shot before you are thirty?"
Lu Fenghan: “…”
Mei Jie Lin was still counting: "If each person puts in 500 star coins, there are more than 50,000 people here. If each person puts in 50 star coins, that's more than 500,000 people! There are so many people!"
Lu Fenghan: “…”
The more she thought about it, the less real it seemed. Mei Jie Lin ignored Lu Feng's cold face and went to him for confirmation: "Commander, I am the richest man now, right? There won't be anyone with more money than me, right?"
This time, Lu Fenghan still gave an answer: "The average account balance of the entire expeditionary force is 3,000 star coins."
Mei Jielin was shocked: "So many? I was actually just a little bit short of the average level of the expeditionary army before!"
Lu Fenghan asked more: "How many did you have before?"
Mei Jielin: "The last digit of the account balance is my deposit."
Lu Fenghan recalled—231 star coins, is this called “almost”
