After the war on the Io Federation side ended, there was no longer any resistance in the Oaks Empire in this direction.
Nowadays, both the Io Federation and the Human Federation are busy enclosing territory, with the two sides using the nodes in the Seris Corridor as their border.
Among them, Serbia and Seris are owned by the Io Federation. The homeland that has been lost for more than 50 years has finally returned to the embrace of the federation. For this reason, the Io Federation even held large-scale celebrations throughout the federation!
As for Korphe, it is owned by the Human Federation, including 8 star systems between Korphe and Lis. Humanity's territory has been expanded again, reaching 28 star systems.
These lands are enough for human consumption for a long time. After all, the population size is there. Even if large-scale immigration and development are wanted, there is not enough population to carry out it.
A month later, inside the Ouranos.
"Legion Commander, 30,000 warships have been detected jumping to Horton. They are Li Cangqiong's ten squadrons and Sophia's fifth fleet."
"Well, this guy went out with 10,000 warships and came back with 30,000 warships. Should I say he has a trick, or is he unlucky?"
"Now that they are all back, please notify all fleet commanders to conduct a remote meeting. By the way, we can also meet Commander Sophia!"
"Yes, legion commander!"
Ten minutes later, Lin Fan was sitting at the head of a conference room. Next to him was Liang Xue. The four people sitting below him were Chris, Emma, Li Cangqiong and Sophia. Of course, these four people were all projections. .
"Everyone, let me introduce you first. This is Sophia Duncan."
After everyone arrived, Lin Fan first introduced Sophia to Chris and Emma.
Sophia just sat and nodded slightly, but Lin Fan didn't mind. He had already heard a lot about her character from Liang Xingchen.
"Commander Sophia was originally the commander of the Second Legion's Third Fleet. This time she was transferred to our First Legion according to the order of Starfleet Headquarters. At the same time, her fleet will become the First Legion's Fifth Fleet."
"Okay, I've been introduced, it's time to get down to business!"
"First of all, let me announce the appointment, Li Cangqiong!"
"arrive!"
Li Cangqiong suddenly stood up, upright.
"Starfleet Appointment Notice. In view of Lieutenant Colonel Li Cangqiong's outstanding performance in the battles in the Siris Corridor and the Miracle Star Field, he was specially approved for early promotion to colonel and appointed as the acting commander of the Fourth Fleet of the First Legion of the Federation Starfleet. Officer until he becomes a brigadier general and becomes a regular officer."
"Congratulations, Colonel Li Cangqiong!"
After reading the order, Lin Fan smiled and said congratulations to Li Cangqiong.
He also read the reports on this time's Seris Corridor and the Miracle Star Field operations, in which it was mentioned many times that Li Cangqiong performed very well not only in tactics, but even in strategy, and has great potential in the future!
Lin Fan was still very satisfied with these evaluations. After all, he was optimistic about it and sacrificed his face to help him get the opportunity. If he was not outstanding, he would really be slapped in the face.
"Thank you, legion commander!"
"No need to thank me, it's your own hard work! But Qianqiong, you know the rules of our army. Now appoint a commander!"
"yes!"
In the First Legion, Lin Fan personally set the rules. When everyone is promoted to fleet commander, they must choose an active commander and conduct simulated battles to demonstrate their abilities.
Of course, this simulated battle will be broadcast live to everyone. After all, the officers and soldiers in the fleet also want to know what kind of commander will command them, right
And, if you are not recognized by the officers, sorry, you will be revoked from the appointment of fleet commander!
Li Cangqiong looked at Chris and Emma. Currently, he only had these two people to choose from.
Chris is a steady and cautious commander, while Emma is a commander inherited from Lin Fan, who can be weird and changeable, or very orthodox, with no fixed style.
Li Cangqiong himself is good at analyzing the enemy's weaknesses, grabbing the sore spot and hammering him to death. Compared to Emma, Chris is definitely his natural nemesis because he is a little too cautious.
Emma, on the other hand, although she inherited it from the legion commander, after all, she hasn't been here for a long time and her experience is not rich enough, so she still has some hope.
"Legion Commander, I would like to invite Second Fleet Commander Emma for a simulated battle!"
"Okay, tomorrow at 8 o'clock in the morning, it will be held in the simulation training room of the First Army Headquarters!"
"Yes, legion commander!"
Lin Fan looked at Li Cangqiong with satisfaction, pressed his hand and motioned for him to sit down!
After he sat down, Lin Fan looked at Sophia.
"Commander Sophia, although you have been the fleet commander for a long time, you still need to conduct a simulated battle according to the First Legion's method. You should also choose an opponent!"
"Legion Commander, can any commander be?"
"Yes!"
"Then I want to choose you as my opponent, I wonder if that's okay!"
Lin Fan was a little surprised by Sophia's choice, but he immediately realized it. Liang Xingchen said that Sophia is a commander who gets more excited when the enemy is stronger.
According to this logic, it seems that he is destined to choose himself as his opponent!
"Commander Sophia, the legion commander is talking about the fleet commander, how can you choose the legion commander?"
Chris on the side said directly.
"But doesn't the legion commander also serve as the commander of the First Fleet?"
"But."
When Chris wanted to say something more, Lin Fan reached out to stop him, looked at Sophia and said.
"Okay, tomorrow at 8 o'clock in the morning, go to the simulation training room of the First Army Headquarters and arrange it after Li Cangqiong's simulated battle. Are there any questions?"
"No problem, the legion commander must not be merciful tomorrow, otherwise it will be quite boring!"
"Don't worry, I will make sure you have a great time tomorrow!"
Lin Fan smiled slightly, this woman is really a war madman, which is quite interesting!
Li Cangqiong looked at Sophia in astonishment and cursed in his heart, this crazy woman!
"Little plum, come to my ship later!"
"Little plum?"
People in the conference room were stunned for a moment, and then they all looked at Li Cangqiong, who was about to drill a hole in the ground.
On the way back to Horton, this woman suddenly stopped calling her little brother and instead called her little brother.
Li Cangqiong was so speechless that he asked Sophia to change her title several times, trying both soft and hard methods!
The soft one had no effect at all, and the hard one was immediately repaired severely!
In the end, Li Cangqiong had no choice but to give up. Forget it, you can call it whatever you like!
"Commander Sophia, what can you do?"
Looking at the four pairs of eyes around him looking at him with curiosity, Li Cangqiong had a solemn expression and asked seriously.
"Tomorrow I will have a showdown with the legion commander. Come to my room and help me warm up first. Hold on longer this time. Last time it was over in half an hour!"
"All right!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Cangqiong found that the four pairs of eyes looking at him changed from curiosity to gossip burning this raging fire!
"What happen to you guys?"
