The Era of Generals

Chapter 523   Promotion?

I... can try.

After thinking about it, Chen Ze gave an ambiguous answer.

Of course he couldn't tell Elder Hua the secrets of the system, but at the same time, Chen Ze naturally understood how serious it was that there were spies in the city lord's mansion.

To put it bluntly, the reason why Mr. Hua was targeted by the dark people was because of his great relationship.

If it wasn't for him, Mr. Hua would probably still be living a life of seclusion in the city of Bo'an now, how could he be targeted by others and become the first thorn in the side?

What's more, there are spies in the city lord's mansion, which is not good for anyone, and it is not just a threat to Hua Lao.

Try?

After hearing Chen Ze's answer, Elder Hua didn't ask any more questions, nor was he dissatisfied. He tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, Then try.

The two were silent for a moment, then they heard Elder Hua say again: Boy Chen, you have overfulfilled the challenge task that the old man gave you back then, what are you going to do next?

Why don't you go and raise your military rank tomorrow?

Promote military rank?

Chen Ze was silent, and couldn't help but think of the scene when he first went to the military aircraft office in Bo'an City.

At that time, he just wanted to receive the lowest military rank first, so that he could develop slowly later.

However, I never thought about the assessment task provided by Mr. Hua, but Chen Ze's answer brought back memories that the other party didn't want to mention the most. Therefore, Mr. Hua gave Chen Ze an extra choice with the idea of ​​giving it a try. .

It can also be said to be an additional task. If Chen Ze is willing to accept it and complete it successfully, he will not only be able to obtain a military rank, but he will also be promoted to three small military ranks in a row.

The unthinkable Chen Ze embarked on the journey, but who knows, he not only completed the extra task that Mr. Hua said, but also discovered the conspiracy of Zhang Chengwang, the former supreme commander of Nantes Province.

Then it got out of control. He made great contributions in the battle of Bo'an City, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he went to Nantes Province because of Zheng Yuanyun, so he was in Nantes Province. A series of intrigues.

Now it's finally back.

In retrospect, didn't it all start because of the extra mission provided by Mr. Hua?

And now, even his current military rank has surpassed the small military rank that Hua Lao promised to give him at the beginning, and even surpassed it. He has reached the third stage of the large military rank, the co-leader rank.

Elder Hua said that his military rank can be mentioned again, and that was not just referring to his promise at the beginning, but Chen Ze's accumulated military exploits now.

In the battle of Nantes Province, it should be said that the Qingyang Empire suffered a minor defeat.

Not only did they not take down the entire Nantes province according to the original plan, even the coach Zheng Yuanyun was killed in battle, and more than two million troops were lost. In any case, it was a disadvantage.

But in this disadvantaged situation, at least the three most important main cities of Nantes Province, including the former Xilong City, are all under the control of the Qingyang Empire.

Even when Chen Ze left, Xilong City was still firmly under control, which gave the Qingyang Empire a chance to deploy troops to attack Nantes Province afterwards.

From this point of view, the attack was not fruitless.

Of course, the blame for the failure was naturally borne by Zheng Yuanyun, and as Chen Ze, who was strictly ordered by Zheng Yuanyun to stay in Ketan City at the beginning, after Zheng Yuanyun was killed in battle, he was still able to firmly hold the four main cities, and for Qing The Yang Empire reserved an opportunity, which deserves a reward.

That is, military exploits.

With this combat achievement alone, it is enough for Chen Ze to raise his military rank. That's why Hua Lao said and mentioned it.

At least, Chen Ze will no longer be the co-leader.

However, after Chen Ze thought about it, he shook his head and said, Mr. Hua, I don't think it's very suitable for me to advance to the military rank now.

oh?

Hua Lao frowned, looked at him meaningfully, and said with a smile: This is the first time that this old man has seen someone indifferent to the promotion of military rank.

From Chen Ze's performance, he really didn't see any trace of excitement. In Hua Lao's decades of military career, this was indeed the first time he saw it.

Whether it is a general or a counselor, what is the purpose of fighting on the battlefield?

Isn't it just to improve one's military rank, so as to get better treatment and power?

The higher the military rank, the more troops you can take in, and even more confidantes you can take in, so you can cultivate a loyal team for yourself.

In other words, the stronger the strength.

Who doesn't want to be strong?

Those who don't want to change will not participate in the military rank assessment and become a real general.

Chen Ze has made great contributions, and he has made a lot of contributions. Hua Lao naturally understands this. Although he is now the Lord of Bo'an City, it means that he will no longer be in charge of the affairs of the Military Aircraft Department, but even so, he cannot give Chen Ze special attention. In the case of preferential treatment, it can also be inferred that this time Chen Ze will be promoted to the level of a large military rank, and it is not impossible to even jump two ranks.

Would Chen Ze not understand?

of course not.

But he still rejected it with a blank face. The promotion of military rank, which is a major event that all generals will pay attention to, seems to be indifferent to him.

Tell me what you think.

After Hua Lao expressed his surprise, he asked immediately.

yes!

Chen Ze cupped his hands, and said in response: First of all, although my current military rank is low, but with Hua Lao and Luo Zongbing here, as long as I think about it, the total number of troops I can lead will not be too small, at least it is impossible to be a co-leader. level limit.

This is a bit arrogant, he is saying very bluntly, buddy has a backer, and can get more troops regardless of the restriction of military rank.

In fact, since Mr. Jing's Xiyun City, the troops under Chen Ze's command have never been based on the number of troops corresponding to the ranks of the empire itself.

Of course, there is a reason for this, but it is more due to the influence of various relationships such as Mr. Jing, Mr. Hua, and Zongbing Luo, which made Chen Ze ignore this rule all the time.

But now, first of all, he has returned to Bo'an City, and it is estimated that he will not lead the army in a short period of time. Secondly, even if he wants to lead the army, it does not matter whether his rank is high or low, no, he can still take it. to the greatest resource?

So for Chen Ze, he had already enjoyed the benefits brought by his military rank. Even when he was in Nantes province, his military strength once reached over one million!

This treatment is already comparable to that of a general soldier, so how urgent is Chen Ze's need for military rank?

After saying this, Chen Ze paused. Seeing that Mr. Hua had no objection, he said again: In addition, I think it's not appropriate for me to take the lead now. I should act in secret, at least find out the spies in the city lord's mansion first!
