Chapter 459 You Trade Opportunities for Mediocrity

When Yang Mu heard what the other party said, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, looked directly at the other party, and still said calmly.

"So are you here to criticize me, or, um, to admonish me?"

"Put away your arrogance, young man. I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. If you were not sitting in this position now, I should have asked you to clean the toilet and cure your behavior. You look noble!" Dukes was unwilling to give up. His red face was full of veins, and he seemed extremely angry.

However, Yang Mu took a deep breath, exhaled it deeply, and then said sternly: "Captain Du, I have the right to treat this as your impulsiveness, take back what you just said, and go back to do your job properly. !”

"I won't go! I'm going to scold you today!" Dukes still roared loudly and slammed the table again.

The forty-three-year-old Dukes feels that he has suffered too much in his life. There is no credit but hard work over the years. From a soldier to a major star, he has endured for decades and watched the cruiser The captain had retired from the army, and he could definitely be promoted to the next level and become the captain of the cruiser. However, unexpectedly, a so-called Zhongxing Commander suddenly parachuted over and directly took his position.

When Yang Mu first arrived, Dukes couldn't even believe that his superior would be a young boy in his twenties. The guy seemed to smell like milk, but he was holding the position of someone taller than himself. rank, and then snatched his position.

He also said that he came to defend his hometown with all his strength.

At first, the other party's reputation and titles really made me feel very afraid, but then I thought about it and thought that such a person could obviously go to other more glamorous places to be gilded, so why did he come here to become a captain and rob him? Based on his own position, combined with the various news he had seen these days, Dukes felt more and more that this guy had made a mistake, and that was why he was sent here.

Such thoughts became more and more firm in Dukes' mind, and when the other party began to gradually renovate the warships in the base, when he saw his crew began to admire him, they even said in front of him that he was When he will become more famous under his leadership, Dukes is like a big cat whose territory has been violated, and its hair explodes in an instant.

But today, when he was inspecting the construction site of his battleship, that guy's personal guard was actually among his team, and he was inquiring about something with the crew from time to time. Dukes was furious and pulled him out. I immediately realized that this was that guy's power play. He was trying to engage in an internal struggle to attack his own power.

He had already seized his own position as captain, and now he wanted to use such despicable means to dismantle the power and prestige he had finally gained over the years. Dukes would never allow it!

It was precisely because of this that Dukes appeared in Yang Mu's office and expressed all the resentment in his heart.

But the person in front of him still had a calm expression and didn't even care about what he thought. This made Dukes angry and shouted loudly again.

"The position of captain of the cruiser was originally mine. You are just a robber. The captain of the Blue Ring Octopus should have been me!" Dukes glared at Yang Mu ferociously and said, and Dukes Suddenly, I noticed that the expression of the person in front of me suddenly changed.

Yang Mu stood up suddenly and looked directly at the other person, getting close to the other person's face and said sternly: "So this is your purpose."

Yang Mu was originally quite curious about Dukes. After all, he had been in the fleet for so many years and was still the captain of an assault ship. And he had never committed any crime. Logically speaking, he should not always be the captain of an assault ship. Stay in this little place.

But now, when he heard the other party say these words nakedly, Yang Mu finally knew why.

Taken for granted after mediocrity.

Facing this middle-aged man who could be his uncle, Yang Mu would not just lower his head like this.

"So you think that because of your hard work over the years, you should be promoted to captain of a cruise ship, right?" Yang Mu said coldly, with an irresistible majesty in his tone.

Dukes, who was still arrogant just now, swallowed his saliva when he saw Yang Mu's sudden change in momentum, and still chose to say forcefully: "Of course, this is an ironclad matter."

"This has never been a foregone conclusion!" Yang Mu suddenly roared and hit the table with his right fist. The impact of his strong physique made the cup instantly shake off the table.

"Major Dukes, take a good look at your appearance and think about your past. The army is not a place based on seniority. The army has an unchanging law. Strength is respected and the strong are supreme!"

"Fart, I am a veteran of 25 years. I have worked in the fleet for 20 years. I started as a small laser cannon squad leader and walked one step at a time to where I am today. I am more steadfast than anyone else. I am more steadfast than anyone else. They are all stable, so why can’t I compare to you and the so-called rookie of the Republic like you?!”

"I want to protest to you today, I want to report it to my superiors, and I want to get the justice I deserve!"

Dukes didn't buy it at all, but instead roared as if he wanted to vent the last bit of anger in his heart.

Yang Mu remained unmoved, but walked to the side, pulled out a document bag from the drawer, and slammed it on the office table.

Dukes looked down and saw that it was his resume portfolio.

"Isn't it unfair? Captain Du, since you think it's unfair, let's list out what you have done in the past twenty-five years." Yang Mu looked gloomy and opened the file bag in front of him as he spoke. , took out Dukes' resume that he printed out.

"In July 205 of the Galactic Calendar, you enlisted in the New Star Territory Left Star Guards Regiment and served for three years. Later, you were admitted to the Seablue Star Military Academy. In 210, after graduation, you entered the New Star Territory Star Fleet. He served as the laser gun command squad leader on the assault ship. Five years later, he served as the main gun commander on the Flash Arrow assault ship. Five years later, he came to the Halo assault ship and became a command staff officer. Three years ago, he was promoted to Halo. Assault Captain, to this day.”

Yang Mu took the other party's resume and read it, Dukes listened quietly with a cold face, but when Yang Mu glanced at him, he snorted coldly.

"Looking at your honors again, you won the Best Shooter Medal in 211, the Attack Speed ​​Rookie Medal in 217, and the Strategy Junior Medal in 223." Yang Mu finished reading one by one, and then put down the information, but Dukes was proud. He raised his head and was very satisfied with the medal he had received.

"In my eyes, your resume is extremely mediocre!" Yang Mu frowned and said slowly, but Dukes suddenly glared at Yang Mu.

"Don't you feel very proud? You have the rank of Major, become the captain of an assault ship, and have various medals."

"But then, have you forgotten how old you are? Do you know how many medals Mari has? Twelve dollars! Twelve dollars. If he hadn't been promoted or demoted because of his mistakes, he would have shined a long time ago, and! He is more qualified to be this captain than you are."

"Why, he has only been in the army for more than ten years, he..." Dukes retorted, but was directly interrupted by Yang Mu.

"I said, regardless of seniority in the army, strength speaks for itself. Take a closer look, where is your strength?!" Yang Mu said loudly, and Dux was speechless.

"In your resume, in the ten years after graduating from the military academy, you served as the squad leader of the laser gun team and the commander of the main gun for ten years. However, in these ten years, the two ships I can find According to the promotion record on the ship, there are no less than ten promotion opportunities that you can fight for, but have you fought for it? Your name does not even appear on the officer's independent application list, nor does it appear on the officer assessment!"

"Are you saying these things were stuck on you by fleet officers? Major Dukes, this is a high-tech fleet in the new era. Fleet officer promotions rely on big data analysis and self-connected comparisons through the system. If you have the ability You will definitely be promoted! But what about you? You haven’t! You haven’t done anything!”

"You use your so-called military age theory and the so-called idea of ​​seniority to define the promotion system of the modern army. This is your own pedantry. It is your own willingness to be mediocre and wait for opportunities to come to you, instead of opportunities that could have been obtained. Give it to someone else!"

"This is why you are not the captain of the Blue Ring Octopus, and I can guarantee that even if I hadn't been here, this captain would definitely not be you!"
