Just as Ye Han induces and persuades his son, the commander of the Fourth Fleet Yang Shuchen also sat in the office, frowned, and stares at a report in front of him with a sinister look.

Since the last meeting, Yang Shuchen has been very sensitive to the words "ag64" and "Zhao Yi". He even secretly sent a small exploration team to sneak into the planet ag64 to conduct a detailed analysis of the planet's geological components. Unfortunately, he did not find any words worth paying attention to in the report. In addition to "barrenness", "desolate" and "hot", the summary sentence at the bottom of the page is still marked with the striking big words "no development value" like the exploration report decades ago.

The Fourth Fleet's garrison area is located in the northwest of the Federation, which is in two completely opposite directions from AG64. So far, the changes that have occurred in the Neominsk are only circulated among merchants and pirates. Zhao Yi did not ask the federal media to broadcast, nor did he advertise on a large scale. He needed time to integrate the planet. With Yang Shuchen's position, it is naturally impossible to hear the voices from the bottom of society.

He closed the folder in dismay, and Yang Shuchen leaned back, and a gloomy and confusing look gradually released deep in his eyes.

Like Ye Han, Yang Shuchen didn't understand Zhou Yiming's special care for Zhao Yi - as a soldier, he could understand the feelings between his comrades. Zhao Yi's father was both officers of the 81st Division. In this sense, Zhao Yi can indeed be regarded as the only survivor of the S12 base. As a military survivor, especially both parents are generals, hundreds of thousands of pensions, a citizenship who has paid a deposit, plus a certain degree of preferential treatment... Yang Shuchen felt that it was not an exaggeration to all of this.

If it weren't for the last dispute at the promotion meeting, Yang Shuchen wouldn't have noticed Zhao Yi at all. Although he protected his shortcomings, he would not do anything arbitrary. Especially in the absence of disputes of interest, he wouldn't usually pay attention to those insignificant factors. However... the new space fighter jets and this pirate clearance operation both showed Zhou Yiming's attitude - he was trying to push this guy who was completely outsider to the stage with his tough power.

In any aspect, this is normal. Just like a consortium injects capital into the military, requiring a certain number of officers to be given, and family members are gilded or trained. Zhou Yiming's actions are not excessive. The performance of the new fighter has been verified by military-industrial enterprises, and the achievements of using this as a colonel are also sufficient. But for some reason... Yang Shuchen always feels that Zhou Yiming's purpose is not just to promote a young man.

......

The capital star "Light of Hope", the headquarters of the Federal Army.

The second promotion meeting was held faster than expected. This is also the result that everyone is willing to see. After all, no matter how much profit it gains from the meeting itself, it is more exciting to actually put it in your own pocket than to spend a lot of time and repeatedly discuss it.

More than 200 participants sat in the conference hall. Since the official start had not yet begun, noisy whispers and unrestrained talks turned the entire hall into a chaotic market. Although the soldiers waiting at the door were still serious and maintained the most standard standing posture, they could not stop these big figures in the conference hall with much higher ranks and status than themselves.

People who can sit in this room at least have the level of brigade general or above. They are used to issuing orders instead of following other people's advice. Therefore, in their opinion, the topic of this temporary promotion meeting is really not important - it is just the promotion of a few young people with backgrounds. Although the specific positions they have obtained will be comprehensively judged based on their own factors, their resume and their performance in previous battles, in fact, it has been tacitly understood what each person should get and what benefits they can receive from it.

However, no one dared not to pay attention to this meeting. After all, whether the issue is important or not is not a problem, and taking the opportunity to install more people in the army is the real purpose. You should know that although both colonels, the inspector general who manages the training camp for supplementary soldiers and the commander of a squadron are simply two completely different concepts.

The former means that you may never get the opportunity to be promoted again and will always be fixed in this position.

The latter means to make a great success. Relying on achievements and achievements, we can climb to the throne of the general step by step, and we are more likely to become a remarkable combat hero of the entire Federation.

Everyone does not want to give up their power. Zhou Yiming and the commanders of several major fleets are like this. At the meeting, they will show some of their strength and prompt people who maintain a neutral position to make decisions close to themselves. At this time, it is actually not wise to swing left and right. The neutral faction seems to have no disputes of interest, but is always hated by both sides of the fight. Without absolute certainty and attempt to maintain neutrality between the two. If they play with balance, the end of the fate will be to be kicked out of the federal army by both sides, or even exiled to a distant and desolate undeveloped planet to serve insignificant positions such as garrison officers.

Zhou Yiming glanced at the venue with a cold and sharp gaze, and all those who came into contact with him were in awe or reluctantly avoided it. This extremely tough momentum was obviously too aggressive, but it was a necessary means to kick off the meeting.

On the huge ring-shaped electronic screen, the list of promotion personnel is arranged in sequence. Next to the name, the photos of the promotion personnel in military uniforms are listed. The following parts are personal resumes made of dense texts.

"According to Article 8 of the Earth Federal Military Rules, the 31st example - Federal soldiers can discuss promotion qualifications when they are recognized by the military headquarters. Below, I will explain all the promotion personnel one by one."

"Lieutenant Colonel Ye Tao performed outstandingly in the battle of the "Breaking Sky Pirates" and led the fleet to sink thirteen enemy ships. The battlefield rating is "aa" and obtained promotion qualifications."

"Major Yang Wei performed outstandingly in the battle against the "Breaking Sky Pirates" and led the fleet to sink six enemy ships. The battlefield rating is "aa" and obtained promotion qualifications."

"Major Jacky Cheung performed outstandingly in the battle of the "Breaking Sky Pirates" and led the fleet to sink eleven enemy ships. The battlefield rating is "aa" and obtained promotion qualifications..."

Yang Shuchen's hoarse and low voice echoed in the conference hall for nearly two hours. Apart from the photos of the promotionists who kept flashing on the virtual screen, the only dry numbers and review opinions filled people's ears were dry and boring numbers and review opinions. Naturally, cigarettes became the only pastime to pass the boring time. The participants spitted smoke rings and released bizarre and strange fog in the air, dispelling the little oxygen left, allowing the strong fragrance nicotine to erode the lungs with a grin, anesthetize the brain, and slowly seize life.

"Col. Zhao Yi performed outstandingly in the battle against the "Broken Sky Pirates", leading the fleet to sink hundreds of enemy ships, and captured the pirates' flagship "Broken Sky". The battlefield rating is "aa" and obtained promotion qualifications."

Zhao Yi's record report was arranged at the end. This was obviously intentional. Zhou Yiming did not express any displeasure for this naked cover. He still sipped the tea quietly, as if the numbers and resumes that had just been said from Yang Shuchen's mouth had nothing to do with him.

No one objected to the promotion list, or even asked for a detailed explanation. The degree of the conference was naturally carried out to the voting stage. With the mentality of not wanting to offend anyone, starting from Ye Tao, who was the first to propose promotion, a green light indicating "approval" gradually appeared at the bottom of the virtual screen. This is the result of using an electronic voting machine - anonymity, completely using digital as the criterion. As long as the number of people who agree is over half, it means that the candidate is qualified for real promotion.

Ye Han sat five or six meters away from Zhou Yiming, looking silently at the deadly venue. He was not worried about what would happen to Ye Tao's promotion qualification. There were as many as tens of thousands of units in the federal army, and no one would make things difficult for him on this issue. Unless... he had a problem with his mind and wanted to fight against the entire Ye family and even the entire fleet under his command.

Suddenly, a striking red "stop" signal suddenly lit up on the virtual screen. Ye Han turned around in shock and saw that Zhou Yiming had stretched out his right hand and pressed the main control key in front of him heavily.

As the meeting chairperson, he has the power to temporarily interrupt the meeting or to deny it without a resolution.

"Haha! Don't you think it seems unfair to let the people with the most outstanding military achievements rank at the end?"

Zhou Yiming sat upright, smiled and pointed to Zhao Yi's information that had just been adjusted from the bottom of the screen to the front, and said in an unquestionable tone: "It may be that there is something wrong with the automatic sorting machine. However, this does not affect your voting order. Let's start with this young man, come one by one———"

Ye Han's heart just raised slowly fell back to its original state. He did not think that Zhou Yiming would deny Ye Tao's qualification for promotion. In fact, it was extremely unwise to do so. You should know that Ye Tao's promotion was only from lieutenant colonel to colonel, while Zhao Yi's promotion was promoted from colonel to brigade general. The difference between the two was self-evident. If you want to gain your own support, even the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Federal Office must show sincerity in exchange.

Thinking of this, Ye Han couldn't help but turn his attention to Yang Shuchen opposite him.

He felt that Zhou Yiming's sudden proposal was related to this guy who seemed to be in the same position as him - putting the most accomplished person at the end of the promotion form... This invisibly increased room for comment. Moreover, when the relevant personnel in front had passed the review and obtained the promotion qualification, and no longer repeated reviews, Yang Shuchen had enough time and energy to criticize the last promoted person.

The traces of this small action are too obvious——there are detailed data for all the promotions’ military achievements, but Zhao Yi’s annihilation numbers are just vague “hundred ships”. Of course, if you look closely, this approach is barely reasonable, but it is easily ignored by other reviewers. What’s even more outrageous... The first attacker who almost wiped out the pirate fleet only received a “aa” evaluation like others.

The facts are similar to what Ye Han guessed.

"Since your Excellency the Chief Secretary wants to review this person first, I respect your wishes."

Yang Shuchen stared at Zhou Yiming with a sinister expression and said in a very uncomfortable tone: "However, before you vote, I want to make a point-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The last few words were almost bitten out of the cracks of his teeth, with a loud voice, a cold tone, and a fearsome weight.

There is no direct interest relationship between Yang Shuchen and Zhao Yi. He just doesn't want a general who is not controlled by himself to appear on the planet AG64. If Zhao Yi's promotion qualification can be rejected, and it will be postponed, and then put it up until the next promotion meeting is raised, the situation will be much more beneficial to him.

Even if his son Yang Wei passed the promotion review, he was just a lieutenant colonel. Using this as a bargaining chip, he could completely exchange more benefits from Zhou Yiming——using a quota of brigade general to exchange for Yang Wei twice or even three promotions, this is the real accounting exchange.

Zhou Yiming picked up the teacup and took a sip, nodded lightly, and said in a tone without any emotional change: "Start vote!"

After this small episode, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became a little strange. Countless gazes kept scanning Zhou Yiming and Yang Shuchen, as if they wanted to tear open their bodies and explore the real secrets deep in their hearts.

To be fair, Zhao Yi's achievements in the pirate clearance war were enough to improve his military rank. But others really couldn't understand the psychological changes of the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Federal Office. He did not object to Yang Shuchen's opinion, but just raised Zhao Yi from the end of the table. This practice without any practical significance made most people choose to turn to Yang Shuchen... Soon, the flashing light spot at the bottom of the virtual screen had stopped. The green signal representing the passage was stuck on the "31%" progress bar. In the face of the overwhelming red light, a conspicuous red horizontal bar was also marked with a prominent red horizontal bar in the center of the table with the word "promotion".

This result was beyond Ye Han's expectations and was also fully in line with Yang Shuchen's requirements. Although there was no change on both of them, the former's eyes released a surprised and puzzled look, while the latter was a little proud, and a faint flush appeared on both sides of his cheeks.

"The first promotion's review ended, without approval, qualifications were rejected———"

Zhou Yiming picked up the wooden hammer placed at his hand and pounded the wooden base on the table. However, he did not announce the qualification review of the second-ranked promotion, but quickly pressed the button to switch the table screen to the form-form federal star field map.

"I have to insert an extra topic——"

Zhou Yiming's voice was thick and steady, but it had an aggressive meaning. He raised his hand and pointed to the location of the planet ag64, saying: "This is located on the federal border and is very close to the strategic buffer zone of the pan-union. Due to the poor resources, it does not have development value. However, in terms of strategic layout, it is necessary to station a small fleet here. Colonel Zhao Yi mentioned just now is the garrison officer of this planet. Haha... a patrol fleet can completely deter pirates and prevent pan-union infiltration to a certain extent."

No one spoke. Even Yang Shuchen subconsciously frowned. As for Ye Han, he thought for a moment, then his lips bent and showed a sarcastic smile.

He finally understood what Zhou Yiming's intention was————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

The brigade general is just a military rank. It has no practical significance except for the badge worn on his shoulders, changing from the colonel's three silver stars to a golden star, and gaining the respect of subordinate soldiers and officers.

There are many generals in the Federation, and there may be more than tens of thousands of people. A large part of them do not have actual military power. They only receive the honorable title of "General" as a recognition of qualifications and achievements. Examples of managing a military prison or logistics department are everywhere as major generals or even lieutenant generals. They will never become fleet commanders, and they will not even be qualified to command several infantry divisions. It is just a superficially glamorous position, able to receive generous treatment, but cannot have real power.

Setting up a fleet on the planet ag64 is equivalent to changing directions to give Zhao Yi the power of the general who was rejected. There are so many war disputes in the border areas, and with the qualifications of that young man, it is easy to obtain more impressive military achievements. It won’t take long for his promotion to be put on the agenda again. At that time, I believe that Yang Shuchen can no longer stop his promotion. The level of the general is just a matter of time for him.

Zhou Yiming played this trick very beautifully. He did not argue with Yang Shuchen in public, and still maintained a majestic image of being arrogant and arrogant. At the same time, he also avoided being enemies with other opponents, but got what he wanted from an alternative perspective.

Ginger is still spicy.
