In a certain room inside the Zhongzhou Xingyi Palace, several people sat around discussing certain matters. The one sitting at the head was Tang Nawen, on his left was Tang Nawu, on his right was Tang Zhongpu, the chief family member of the Tang family, and on the opposite was the Tang family The remaining two family elders are the resolute Zhang Yi and the bearded Joel Lund. There was another standing person, a young man in his twenties with glasses and disheveled hair.
At this moment, Donovan and the others were watching the young man use a card in his hand to swipe across a book-sized machine, and then a row of numbers and a photo of Tang Long appeared on the three-dimensional screen in the center of the table.
After looking at the information on the three-dimensional screen, Tang Zhongpu first smiled and said: "Hehe, Tang Long is indeed a member of the Wanluo Federal Army, but he is not a major but a private."
Tang Nawu shook his head and said, "Private? It's even more impossible for a private to own that kind of warship." Speaking of this, he looked at Don Nawen and said, "Brother, Tang Long's origin is unknown, so it's troublesome. Just kill him after the meeting. "
Before Tang Nawen could speak, Tang Zhongpu interrupted and said, "Didn't you see it? It is stated in the information that Tang Long entered the army with the rank of second lieutenant, and within two years he was promoted to colonel by virtue of his meritorious service. Huh? Yes What is the reason why he was directly demoted to a private by the Federal Army?" Tang Zhongpu patted his beard suspiciously and said to himself.
"Hmph, Tang Long must be the son of a powerful official in the Wanluo Federation. Otherwise, why would he be promoted from a second lieutenant to a colonel after two years in the army? It's easy to understand why he was demoted to a private. His father has stepped down. Of course it's bad luck." Donovo said sarcastically.
Tang Zhongpu shook his head, pointed to the data on the instrument and said, "I don't think he got to the high position by relying on his father, because there is no one surnamed Tang in the top ranks of the Wanluo Federal Army. You see, his first meritorious service was commanding his colleagues to wipe out the army at the border. After destroying thousands of battleships in the Silver Eagle Empire, every meritorious service in the future is earned from the battlefield. Such a talent cannot be let go."
Seeing what Tang Nawu wanted to say, Donovan said first: "I don't care if he became a colonel because of his connections. What I need is his battleship. I believe everyone has seen the capabilities of his battleship. We can't let such a Leave with a strong force. The most important thing now is to know whether he has enemies, and if he has enemies, it will be a real threat to us!" As soon as Donovan finished speaking, everyone looked at the young man.
The young man who kept silent shrugged his shoulders and smiled wryly: "My lord, this machine of this subordinate can't show whether he has enemies or not, but this subordinate can use this military card to enter the system of the Wanluo Federal Army Department. Let's see if there are any special records." As he spoke, the young man took out a pair of sunglasses like Tang Long's and put them on, and controlled the book-sized machine just now with both hands.
Suddenly, the young man shook his body slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, took off his sunglasses and shook his head and said: "The record only records that he was imprisoned for no reason shortly after he joined the army, and then he was imprisoned for no reason. They released him and rewarded him, but other than that, there is nothing special to record."
Several people in the room were contemplative. Tang Zhongpu first broke the silence and said: "I think he was born and bred in the Wanluo Federation. There are enemies in the Wanluo Federation, and it is impossible to come to us to make trouble. I personally think that since the Patriarch has accepted him, then don’t go back on your word.”
The other two elders nodded in agreement when they heard this. And when Tang Nawen looked at Tang Nawu, Tang Nawu said angrily: "I have no objection." He was so angry because three of the five people agreed. Change.
Seeing his younger brother nodding, Donovan also nodded and said, "Okay, that's it. The retainers must have been waiting for a long time. Let's go out for a meeting." After speaking, he said to the young man, "Yu Ming has nothing to do with you. , go to the meeting and remember not to tell anyone what happened today."
The young man named Yu Ming hurriedly nodded, bowed and left.
Tang Long, who was chewing a piece of meat and looking around, was almost choked up by a sudden loud bell. After finally drinking a few sips of wine to calm himself down, he realized that except for the three of him, the whole hall They all fell on the ground. Although he didn't know what was going on, Tang Long was not an idiot. He immediately thought that the head of the family had come out, so he hurriedly imitated everyone's posture, lying on the ground and waiting quietly.
"Get up." The voice rang throughout the hall through the microphone.
Tang Long, who had been lying impatiently for a long time, immediately sat up with his hands on his hands when he heard this. At the same time as he got up, a loud voice: "Thank you, my lord." Seeing everyone thanking them before getting up, Tang Long scratched his head embarrassingly.
Seeing Tang Long get up first, Tang Nawen's expression turned a little bit bad, but after seeing Tang Long's embarrassed expression, he couldn't help smiling, pretending he didn't see it. Although Tang Nawu saw Tang Long's disrespectful appearance, he saw that his elder brother didn't say a word, so he didn't want to be troublesome. Anyway, Tang Long was not his subordinate, and it was embarrassing to embarrass his elder brother. And Tang Zhongpu, who had a crush on Tang Long for some reason, of course pretended not to see him. The other two elders were not stingy people either, they were also silent.
After everyone was seated, Donovan raised his glass and said, "Cheers to the fact that we repelled the invasion of the Caesars!" The crowd immediately raised their glasses and recited the owner's words, while raising their heads to drink. After drinking, several retainers with relatively high status stood up and praised the Patriarch, saying something like this battle was won under the Patriarch's wise leadership.
Tang Long, who was not interested in these at all, secretly ate the fruit while secretly looking at the retainer who stood up and said.
Donovan shook his head and said, "It's not due to me that I won this battle. Without the bravery of Tang Long's family, it is still unknown who will win. Come, everyone, let's get to know the hero of our battle this time, the new leader of our family." Member—the family general Tang Long!" He said and pointed to Tang Long.
Tang Long hurriedly spit out the things in his mouth and hid them in his hands, then got up and nodded to the surroundings, and then said: "I'm coming to Tang Long, please give me your advice in the future." While speaking, Tang Long found the voice on the table I don't know when the system was activated, but my voice can be heard by everyone in the hall.
When Tang Long introduced himself, Yu Ming, who was sitting at a certain table at the bottom of the concave shape, saw the image of Tang Long displayed on the screen in front of the table, couldn't help but twitched his eyebrows, and whispered to himself: "You are really an ordinary Wan Luo Federal soldiers? Why do you have so many Wulai coins in your soldier card that ordinary people can't even imagine?"
Except for a few retainers who nodded to Tang Long, the other retainers all squinted at Tang Long. Apart from the General Zhang Wu's hostility towards Tang Long, those young people were also hostile to Tang Long one after another. These young people who had no chance to go to the battlefield did not understand that Tang Long was so young and what ability he had to make such a great contribution. The retainers who had been on the battlefield believed that Tang Long could make such a great contribution only because of his powerful battleship.
After Tang Long sat down, several old retainers and the head of the family said some unnutritious things again. Tang Long, who was no longer in the mood to listen to these flattering words, couldn't help but want to pee, when he suddenly found that the whole hall was quiet, and the buzzing sound just now had completely disappeared. Curiously looking up, he found a huge virtual planar map appeared on the concave space in the hall, and the same virtual map appeared on his desk.
Not knowing what was going on, Tang Long had no choice but to hold back his urine and sit down to watch what happened. At this time, Sally, who had been listening to the words around her, leaned forward and whispered in Tang Long's ear: "This is the practice of the Tang family. Every time the war ends, the fiefdoms of the retainers will be re-divided."
Divide the fief? ! Hearing this, Tang Long immediately looked at Tang Nawen with bright eyes. He would join the Tang family and consume so much energy and ammunition all at once just to secure the land!
Feeling Tang Long's fiery gaze, Donovan couldn't help frowning, because Tang Long gave him the impression that he was a very ambitious person. But Donovan's feeling quickly disappeared, because almost all the retainers looked at him with this kind of gaze. Donovan also remembered that when he was still his father's retainer, whenever he heard his father divide the fiefdom, he looked at his father with the same eyes. Thinking of this, Donovan smiled. He began to feel that Tang Long's eyes were not so annoying, or he became a little fond of his retainers looking at him with such eyes.
"According to the usual practice, one million hectares of land can be obtained for every enemy ship destroyed. Now let's take a look at the results of your brave killing of the enemy." Donovan said with a smile.
Tang Long couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, 1 million acres? Actually use the arena as the unit? Why not use square kilometers as the unit? How big is 100,000 hectares? Tang Long, who felt that his fiefdom was not too big, lay weakly on the table, and propped his sighing mouth with his chin.
No. 2 Xingling, who helped Tang Long regain his energy, whispered in his ear: "One million hectares equals 100 square kilometers." What's the use of coming here, it's not as big as the landing port of the expanded base."
Donovan didn't care about Tang Long's appearance at all. He was already intoxicated in the pleasure of manipulating the joys and sorrows of his retainers, while the other retainers were concerned about gain and loss, watching the numbers on the giant screen, because these numbers would represent whether their lives would be good or not in the future. .
"Tang Long's family will destroy 16 enemy ships, Tang Nawu's deputy head will destroy 3 enemy ships, Tang Zhongpu's family will destroy 2 enemy ships, Zhang Yi's family's elder Joel Lund's family will destroy 2 enemy ships, Zhang Wu's family will destroy 1 enemy ship... "The synthesized voice of the computer read out the statistical figures word by word.
