Chapter 223 New Position
On the morning of August 24th, Li Chenglong received a message from Wang Xiao as soon as he got up. She was responsible for the early morning shift in the central computer room, and wouldn't contact Li Chenglong so early unless it was urgent. Since becoming a wood-type ability user after eating the psionic apple distributed by Li Chenglong, Wang Xiao had worked extremely hard, becoming a level four ability user in less than four months, and was one of the most outstanding members of the central computer office.
After receiving a call from Wang Xiao, Li Chenglong quickly washed up and went to the central computer room. As soon as he entered, Wang Xiao said to him, "Captain Li, we just received a message from the Provisional Military Commission of China. The content is classified, so we asked you to take a look." Li Chenglong went to the crystal computer that was used to process external information and opened the message with a password.
It turned out that Huaxia, under the leadership of General Chen Guoqiang, had temporarily established a committee to combat the alien species. The committee members were the highest-ranking officials from various bases, with Chen Guoqiang as the chairman and Qin Ming as a director. Li Chenglong looked at it for a while and then closed the message. This newly established organization was mainly to strengthen unified command and cooperation, which was consistent with the spirit conveyed at the previous conference.
After reading the message, Li Chenglong smiled and said, "Wang Xiao, would you like to come to my house for dinner? I'm about to go back and cook." Wang Xiao shook her head, "No, thank you, Captain Li. I have elderly people and children at home. I'll go to the canteen to get some food and eat with them." Li Chenglong sighed, "You've worked so hard. Is there anyone you like? You could help each other out after you get married, and things would be much easier."
Wang Xiao said shyly, "I'm 33 years old this year, and my child is already five or six years old. Is it still possible for me to find a good partner?" Li Chenglong immediately said, "Of course you can. You're so outstanding, and you've become a superhuman. Look at Sister Shen now, she doesn't look like a woman in her late thirties or early thirties at all. She looks like she's only in her thirties. And you don't look like a mother of a six-year-old at all. You look like you're in your mid-twenties. You should have confidence in yourself."
Wang Xiao nodded: "Yes, I will try my best. By the way, Captain Li, I heard that Deputy City Lord Shen and Comrade Zheng Yong are getting quite close. Aren't you going to keep an eye on them?" Li Chenglong waved his hand: "They are both approaching forty. They know what to do. Let them work hard on their own. I just need to give them a final push. Through this year and eight months of fighting, many men and women have come together. I sincerely wish them all the best."
As the two were still chatting, Lü Xin and Qin Mengyao walked in. They were there to hand over their duties to Wang Xiao, as the daytime shift workers. The two greeted Li Chenglong first, and then Wang Xiao gave them a detailed account of the previous night's events before packing up and leaving. Lü Xin and Qin Mengyao had both been selected through a rigorous process by Li Chenglong, Yun Lan, and Zhao Liying. One was a Level 4 water-type ability user, and the other a Level 4 wind-type ability user; both were absolutely honest, reliable, and loyal comrades. With the addition of the four new members to the central computer room, effective rotation was now possible.
Li Chenglong had just returned home when the nanny, Song Yixin, arrived. He glanced at his watch; it was only 7:30, not yet time for her to start work. He and Yunlan had arranged for Song Yixin to work from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The rest of the time, he and Yunlan would take care of the child. Qin Fangyu was currently quite busy; Liu Cheng had been transferred recently for work, so she, a level 6 wind-elemental cultivator, had become the head of the Dawn Army's logistics support department. Despite her busy schedule, she still tried to come every two days.
Upon entering, Song Yixin went to the kitchen to cook. "Cooking" really meant preparing some baby food for Hao Hao and making some special meals for Yun Lan. Li Chenglong usually ate whatever was available or at the government canteen. Recently, Hao Hao has started eating some complementary foods. He was born in early March, and now it's late August, almost six months old. Given his excellent development, and with the advice of a childcare expert, it's appropriate to introduce some complementary foods.
After quickly finishing his meal, Li Chenglong said goodbye to Yun Lan and headed to the military headquarters. The documents that had just been distributed contained requirements and arrangements for each war zone, necessitating a meeting. Soon after, the main military leaders of the four bases began a video conference, using Crystal Network technology to ensure secure and stable communication.
General Sun Tianlong first reviewed the documents he had just received, briefly shared his views, and then said, "According to the newly formed decision of the Provisional Military Commission of China, in order to ensure the stability of the command system and the timely transmission of orders, a forward command post will be established in each war zone. The members of the command post will be the highest-ranking officer of each major base and one officer. In our Qianyun base, it will be me, Sun Tianlong, and Political Commissar Kong Liang. You can also nominate people, and we will finalize the personnel list as soon as possible."
Li Chenglong, Zheng Yong, and Feng Tian exchanged a glance, nodded, and said, "Our Dawn Army members in Shuguang City are Li Chenglong and Feng Tian." Xu Limin said, "Ours are Wei Jing and me." The members of the Qingshui Base were naturally Sun Qingpeng and Gao Shixin. Sun Tianlong said, "Alright, that's how our Eastern Theater Command's forward command is set. I'll report it later."
He then said, "I think the forward command should be divided into two parts: a combat group, which is responsible for going out to fight, and a staff group, which is responsible for studying and updating the tactics and strategies of the operation. The combat group will be headed by Li Chenglong, and the members will be Li Chenglong, Kong Liang, Wei Jing, and Gao Shixin. The staff group will be headed by Sun Tianlong, and the members will be Sun Qingpeng, Feng Tian, and Xu Limin." After thinking for a moment, everyone felt that this was acceptable and agreed.
After the meeting, Li Chenglong held a military meeting with Feng Tian, Zheng Yong, Wu Gang, Zheng Aiguo, and a dozen others. He conveyed the main points of the previous meeting. Li Chenglong said, "Judging from the current trend, a major battle is about to break out. At that time, Shuguang City will definitely have to launch an attack. However, how to ensure the safety of Shuguang City after our attack is a very thorny issue. You know, the Yellow Sea is just a few dozen kilometers to our east, and there are a lot of sea monsters there. Therefore, I think that without expanding the organization, we should establish two reinforced regiments to cooperate with the city defense department, the city security department, and the Young Pioneers to jointly protect Shuguang City."
Zheng Yong strongly agreed with the suggestion: "It is time to establish a special Dawn Army unit to guard Dawn City. The city defense force of Dawn City can only resist simple enemies. Once we leave, they will not be able to withstand the large-scale attack of sea monsters. Moreover, the commanders and political commissars of these two regiments must be the most reliable people."
After discussion, it was unanimously decided to establish two reinforced regiments: the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment. The New First Regiment would be commanded by Ma Qi, an 8th-level speed-type ability user; its political commissar by Liang Hong, an 8th-level water-type ability user; and its chief of staff by Yi Tianxing, a 7th-level strength-type ability user. The New Second Regiment would be commanded by Zhao Chuanxin, an 8th-level lightning-type ability user; its political commissar by Dong Tianfang, a 7th-level speed-type ability user; and its chief of staff by Liu Chuanfeng, an 8th-level fire-type ability user. These individuals had been with Li Chenglong since his early days in Jinghai City, and were all seasoned comrades; their appointment to this important task was both reasonable and reliable.
In fact, of those who followed Li Chenglong from the First People's Hospital of Jinghai City, fewer than a hundred are still alive and in Shuguang City. Most of them are now key members of various departments or the Dawn Army, and are also Li Chenglong's staunch supporters.
