It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future - Chapter 1310

Chapter 1310: Mecha Army!

Qi Long’s gaze turned cold when he heard about Zhou Lirong plans for Lingtian’s future. His plan was completely opposite of what Boss wanted for Lingtian. If they really progressed based on his plan, then Lingtian would be the same as every other independent armies, losing its glamour in the process.

Zhou Lirong took a step back when he finished speaking and nodded at Luo Zhiqun and Qi Long.

Luo Zhiqun smiled lightly and walked forward to the center of the stage. Just like Zhou Lirong, he expressed his admiration for the first commander of Lingtian, Ling Lan. Then, he explained his future plans for Lingtian. His plan was slightly different from Zhou Lirong. He felt that they should train the current soldiers in Lingtian first before expanding the independent army. You could say that Luo Zhiqun’s method was gentler than Zhou Lirong’s. His method would ensure the positions of the current soldiers in the army as well as focusing on the current soldiers before turning the Lingtian Independent Army into a mature integrated independent army.

Luo Zhiqun’s method would likely be able to gain the support and approval of the current members of Lingtian easier. Although he might take more time than Zhou Lirong to turn Lingtian into a mature integrated independent army since his methods wouldn’t have effects in the short run, but his method severely lowered the possibility of any mistakes. It was the safer option of the two routes.

This was the difference between an official leader and a deputy leader. The former knew how to have his soldiers accept the changes calmly while preventing all possible problems from cropping up. On the other hand, the latter’s plan was too idealised. The latter wanted to see results as quickly as possible so his methods were more radical.

Although their methods were different, the end result was still the same. Both of them wanted to turn the Lingtian Independent Army into a mature integrated army to lay the foundations for it to become an official division in the future. A commander who doesn’t want to become a general of a division wasn’t a good commander. Most of the representatives from the military agreed with plans so both their speeches ended with enthusiastic applause.

The last person to speak was Qi Long. Zhou Lirong and Luo Zhiqun’s plans had already caused his gaze to turn cold. He wouldn’t let anyone who went against Boss’s plan to take over the Lingtian Independent Army.

Qi Long took a big step and stood at the center of the stage. He looked down at the representatives with a stern gaze. He stared at them quietly without saying anything.

The chatter in the conference room soon subsided. Everyone looked at the person standing on stage silently in confusion. The atmosphere slowly turned tense too.

Qi Yaoyang slightly raised one of his eyebrows when he saw his son’s act. He also straightened his sitting posture a little.

Looking at his expression, he knew that Qi Long was angry. He expected his son to say some shocking words.

After sensing that everyone’s attention was on him, Qi Long audibly scoffed. “I highly suspect Major General Luo Zhiqun and Major General Zhou Lirong when they said that they did detailed research of Lingtian.”

Surprisingly, Qi Long mocked Zhou Lirong and Luo Zhiqun the moment he came on stage. Those representatives who thought that Qi Long was well-mannered even though he was young frowned.

Although Qi Long’s track record was exemplary, he was still too young in the end. He wasn’t able to maintain his composure at crucial times. He was too aggressive.

“People who understand Lingtian will know what Lingtian used to be. We were the 250 Mecha Clan.”

“We grew from an ordinary clan into an independent mecha clan before becoming an independent army. From the very beginning, the foundation of Lingtian is our mechas,” Qi Long continued without hesitation.

“Our commander, Lieutenant General Ling Lan, said this to us when we first became an independent army. He said the Lingtian Independent Army will be the only independent army where all the soldiers will service one kind of soldiers, the mecha operators. Under his leadership, the Lingtian Independent Army is on route to become the most powerful mecha army of the Federation.”

Qi Long spoke confidently with full aspirations. The representatives seated below were moved. They were reminded of those times when they fought with all their might on the battlefield.

“In the future, no matter what the Lingtian Independent Army ultimately becomes, whether it will be an independent army or an official division, its foundation will never change. The Lingtian Independent Army can only be a mecha army. It must be a mecha army. It will be the first line of offense on the battlefield. It will also be the last line of defense for a base.” Qi Long placed his hand on his left chest and said sincerely, “It will be the most powerful mecha army of the Federation. Its name will bring fear in our enemies. This is what Lieutenant General Ling wanted for the Lingtian Independent Army.”

“Hence, I will continue our commander’s faith and turn Lingtian into a unique mecha army. We will create our own legacy and leave a mark in the history of the Federation. I’ve finished my speech. Thank you!” Qi Long saluted solemnly to express his attitude. He truly meant what he said.

The audience was silent. Qi Long’s speech was entirely different from the norm. He was breaking fresh ground. Independent mecha clans were all unique but once they became an independent army, they would all turn into integrated divisions in the end. Some of their special traits might still be present but the other types of soldiers would become stronger too so everyone could progress together.

Lingtian Independent Army wanted to overthrow the conventional mindset. None of the representatives knew what to say. They could say he was wrong but if the Lingtian Independent Army really became a powerful and legendary mecha army… they felt excited just by this thought. They couldn’t control their imagination. Slowly, they hoped that it would come true immediately. If what Qi Long said was true, they wondered if an independent army with mecha operators as its main focus was really able to walk far.

While everyone was confused and silent, the sound of clapping echoed through the entire conference room.

Everyone looked over in unplanned unison and saw Ren Feiyu smiling and clapping his hands slowly.

“Not bad. You have a very good plan. I’ve seen enough of integrated divisions. I feel that Major General Qi’s plan is very interesting.” Ren Feiyu clapped a few more times before putting his hands down and continued slowly, “There are too many of the same integrated divisions. We don’t need any more of them. I really want to see what a mature mecha army will be like.”

The highest commander of the Flying Dragon Special Forces had spoken. The representatives who had a good relationship with Ren Feiyu opened their mouths to express their anticipation for the future of a legendary mecha army. As for Qi Yaoyang, he would definitely support his son.

The most powerful officers had already spoken to those that were still hesitating, so including both the representatives from the military and the government started clapping.

The Third Marshal finally smiled. Pushing Qi Long up was the decision of his faction. If Qi Long was rejected the moment he showed his face, he would feel embarrassed. From the looks of it now, the neutral faction, led by Ren Feiyu, had high hopes for Qi Long. This was a surprise to him.
