One Thousand Three Hundred and Twelve: Chips.
1312: Chips.
After everyone's discussion began to subside, the person in charge of the meeting said: "Now let's invite the three candidates to come to the stage to explain their ideas for the future development direction of the 23rd Army."
Lan Luofeng took a deep breath, then stood up and slowly walked onto the stage.
Although she was on stage as an elaborator for the first time, instead of just following Ling Xiao like before, Lan Luofeng's pace was still as steady as when she was Mrs. Ling Xiao, without any panic.
He Xuyang's worried heart was immediately relieved when he saw Lan Luofeng's elegant and confident figure.
No one noticed that the moment Lan Luofeng stood up, Ren Feiyu (Ling Xiao), who had always maintained a calm expression, straightened his body involuntarily and glanced at Lan Luofeng quickly.
Facing Ling Xiao's widow, the two generals, Qiao Zhenyu and Yang Yi, took a step back, stretched out their hands and made a "please" sign, signaling Lan Luofeng to be the first to start.
Lan Luofeng politely gave in, but found that the other two were very insistent, so she nodded generously to accept.
Lan Luofeng walked to the stage and looked at the dark group of people below, feeling her heart begin to beat violently. Even though she had built herself up mentally before, facing this scene still made her nervous.
If it was for herself, she would never be nervous, and if she lost, she would lose. But this time, she was fighting for Ling Lan, fearing that one of her mistakes would affect Ling Lan's taking over of the 23rd Army.
For a moment, Lan Luofeng didn't know how to start, so she fell silent.
Ling Xiao's right hand holding the armrest tightened immediately. This was the first time that Lan Luofeng left his protection and made a public statement to everyone. Ling Xiao has always known that Lan Luofeng's character is extremely tough. He liked Lan Luofeng. Although he started with her voice, as he got to know Lan Luofeng's true character, he was completely fascinated. Just like that, he never looked back. The ground fell into a hole and never climbed out.
He left his newlywed wife who was just over a month pregnant. Although it was a military order that was difficult to disobey, he also knew that even if something happened, Lan Luofeng would calmly go on with his character. She always finds a way to survive.
Because of trust, he left her and went to the battlefield. Because of trust, he stayed in that world for her for sixteen years. Because of trust, he desperately found his way home. Because of trust, he chose to hide his identity and guard silently.
Ling Xiao's right hand slowly released, and his eyes became calm again. He trusted his Luo Feng, and he would definitely pass this level perfectly.
Sure enough, Lan Luofeng spoke. The sound was crisp and stable, and it did not become nervous because of this big scene.
"First of all, I would like to thank all the commanders and soldiers of the 23rd Army for their love for Ling Xiao. For this, they are willing to trust Ling Xiao and hope that Ling Lan can serve as the commander of the 23rd Army. They directly submitted an internal application, allowing Ling Lan to obtain this precious candidate spot. ”
"However, during the Rimu Battle, I lost Ling Xiao and also lost the news of Ling Lan. Therefore, he was recommended to be the commander of the 23rd Army. I hold a negative opinion. Although the 23rd Army was prepared by Ling Xiao It is undeniable that the 23rd Army has been more or less marked with Lingxiao's mark, but what I want to say is that the 23rd Army is the same as the other 22 formal armies of the Federation. , there is nothing special about it, it does not belong to anyone, nor does it belong to Ling Xiao. Therefore, I, Lan Luofeng, have no opinion at all about who will serve as the commander of the 23rd Army, and I even like it. I believe that if Ling Xiao is still alive. , the same idea.”
Lan Luofeng's words were undoubtedly very generous, and all the representatives present below applauded enthusiastically. Originally, they had great respect for Lan Luofeng because of her status as Mrs. Ling Xiao. Now, they found that Lan Luofeng was also a sensible and selfless person, and they had a better impression of Lan Luofeng and even more admiration for her.
When the First Marshal heard Lan Luofeng's words, he frowned slightly. Lan Luofeng's words are obviously trying to hurt his reputation. If the representatives below really think that Ling Lan and Lan Luofeng don't care about the position of commander of the 23rd Army,
Wouldn’t it be cheaper for the second and third factions? Sure enough, when the second and third marshals heard Lan Luofeng's words, their expressions softened a lot.
Sure enough, women can't handle big things, and they will fall off the chain at critical moments.
Those who had this idea also included representatives of the 23rd Army. These words were very different from the materials and rhetoric they had prepared. For a while, they didn't know what to do.
He Xuyang secretly tapped his thigh and decided to watch indifferently. He believed that the woman the general liked would never be so silly and sweet. Major General Lan must have some tricks up his sleeve.
Only Ling Xiao closed his eyes when he heard Lan Luofeng say these words, feeling as if he no longer cared about this matter. But if you look carefully, you will find that there is an almost invisible arc in the corner of his mouth. Obviously, he understands Lan Luofeng.
"However, the representatives of the 23rd Army convinced me that they loved Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao had just died and was replaced by another general. Emotionally, they could not accept it and were very resistant. Recommending Ling Lan was a reflection of their spiritual sustenance. , they hope that Ling Lan can inherit Ling Xiao's legacy and lead the 23rd Army to glory, and even recommend me as Ling Lan's agent to solve the problem of Ling Lan's absence." Lan Luofeng said this with tears in his eyes. Light, she said emotionally, "I can't refuse their sincere request, because I still have selfish motives. I want to see with my own eyes that the 23rd Army, which Ling Xiao is proud of, can finally become the Army in Ling Xiao's dream. "
He Xuyang clenched his fists excitedly at Lan Luofeng's words. There was no doubt that Lan Luofeng was starting to increase his bargaining chip for Ling Lan. The purpose of directly stating the attitude of the officers and men of the 23rd Army is to tell all the representatives present below that if anyone else serves as the commander of the 23rd Army, they will be collectively rejected by the 23rd Army. Unfortunately, they may be sidelined, unless the military headquarters pays attention to the 23rd Army. The army went to war to clear out the backbone of the 23rd Army and disintegrate this resistance.
But this will directly shake the morale of the 23rd Army. If the anger of the 23rd Army soldiers is aroused, once it spreads, it will even affect all the armies of the entire federation. Unless it was absolutely necessary, the military would never want to attack the 23rd Army not long after Ling Xiao died.
However, by doing this, Lan Luofeng put the top management of the 23rd Army at the forefront. These people will definitely be blacklisted by the military department. Any troubles in the future will have a great impact on their future promotions.
Many representatives of the 23rd Army present looked a little embarrassed.
Since you want to take advantage of Mr. Lan and his wife, you must be willing to pay the price. A slight smile appeared at the corner of He Xuyang's mouth. Not everyone sincerely wants to protect the 23rd Army left by General Ling Xiao like him. Some people, although they respect Ling Xiao very much, can't help but think that there is no such a strong person to look up to. If the great god suppresses it, some greed will naturally arise. However, everyone had the same ultimate goal, so he took advantage of them, waiting for everything to settle before slowly settling the matter.
