Chapter 314: Legion Commander

Bai Quan has already stated the conditions that the Legion is willing to offer.

This is indeed the result that Chen Ming wants to see, but it is not the result he can accept.

The Legion still has not given up enough and is still thinking about bargaining.

In short, it's just two words.

That's it?

"I don't accept it."

Chen Ming said to Bai Quan: "It's not against you, it's just that what the legion has to do is not enough for me."

Bai Quan spread his hands and said: "I got these promises before I came. Anyway, I'm just a messenger now. Just tell me what you want to say."

Chen Ming didn't rush to say what he wanted, but asked: "Who is in charge of handling this matter now?"

"Qiu Bowen, the general, is the psychic who was chasing you before."

"General?"

"Yes."

"I'm very curious about his attitude towards this matter as a general. I mean his attitude before I do anything."

Bai Quan recalled what happened just now and said: "He said that he knew about this matter, but he chose to acquiesce because he thought it should be a conscientious competition, so that Xinghe Xinghai and you can experience the dirtiness of political struggle. He also said that he misjudged your psychological bottom line."

After listening, Chen Ming said with disgust: "A general, I started monitoring me on the first day I came here and found out Someone was planning to act on me. Anyway, I think he is trying to test my bottom line to see what level I can withstand, and then the side of my bottom line jumps. "" I must pay for the legion in the legion. He came? "" And also used Cheng Xinghai and Cheng Xinghe. "Chen Ming said, and suddenly a question was brought in his tone to ask Baiquan's attitude towards his adopted son. Baiquan's expression was a bit low. He pulled Chen Ming to the corner of the lecture hall and said, "I look at things differently from you."

"In my opinion, this is a very targeted and disgusting trick, and it will not succeed."

"Xinghe will definitely come out soon. No one will remember the rumors it spread in two or three days at most, and it may even be debunked in less than a day."

"Even if this matter is purely handed over to me to handle, at most I can arrest a few people and finally reach some exchange of interests. We can get a little advantage here. After all, they started it first, and the matter is over."

"Of course I fully understand your thoughts. It's normal for you to feel disgusted. You think it's normal that I didn't care about the galaxy."

"But I have to say that if he hadn't been in charge of the command of the mechanical race's star war, I would have turned against him long ago."

"If I lose my identity, I will beat him up directly."

"My identity restricts me."

"I can't just think about myself and my family."

"I have to consider the survival of the entire faction."

"My old boss is going to retire. He raised me and trained me. Protecting his faction is my responsibility."

Identity...

Chen Ming has already felt the pressure brought by his identity.

He is now just a colonel of the 14th Corps, and he has to face various complex problems and is restricted by various rules.

And Bai Quan has already begun to experience this situation earlier.

"Is this what you want?"

"Of course this is not what I want, but this is what I have to do, and I have tried my best."

Bai Quan's voice seemed to reveal fatigue: "Look at Xinghai."

"Why have I been hinting at Xinghai to you some time ago?"

"The most important thing is that Xinghai must choose a marriage partner, in the next few years."

"This is her fate that she cannot escape, so I must find the best one within such restrictions."

"You are the best one."

"Secondly, I don't know if Xinghai has talked to you about it. She likes the battlefield."

Chen Ming nodded: "I talked about it. She asked me if I minded this kind of thing, and my answer was that she could do what she wanted."

"You can say that, but I can't."

Bai Quan sighed: "I am actually more resistant to letting Xinghai go to the battlefield, but I can't stop her."

"She will be a senior soon, and the mechanical war will start soon. Jialuo is her next position on the battlefield."

"I can't guarantee that she can survive on the battlefield unless she stays in the rear."

"But Xinghai won't be willing to stay in the rear."

"The last time she went to the battlefield, I did a lot of secret protection measures."

"But only small-scale battlefields can take protective measures."

"The main battlefield between the Galo Star Region and the Mechanical Clan is a real battlefield, without any protection measures."

"I can't protect her, but I hope someone can protect her for me."

"You can protect her."

"You are a psychic."

Listening to Baiquan's words, Chen Ming's tone subconsciously lowered: "Psychics are not invincible."

"But protecting one person on the battlefield is enough."

"The reason behind these is interest."

"My relationship with you doesn't need Xinghai to marry you to get closer."

"But if you marry Xinghai, it will be good for you, me, and our entire faction."

Although Chen Ming was disgusted on the first day he came to the headquarters, he really couldn't deny that marriage is indeed beneficial.

The faction's manpower is not only in the headquarters, but also in other places where there are people from the Baiquan faction, Chen Ming can get help.

Because after the marriage, Chen Ming is completely one of the Baiquan faction's own people.

He is also one of the legion's own people.

Even if other factions in the legion are targeting him, they must regard him as a member of the legion.

Therefore, when Chen Ming reveals the actions of other factions, the legion must be responsible for it.

"It is these factors that push me to do these things."

"Everything I do is based on my family and faction."

"I am protecting my family and taking on my responsibilities."

"But I can't do everything the best and balance the two."

"I didn't receive the news about today's incident the first time."

"I only learned about the situation from you, and then I knew that this matter was aimed at you, not at the galaxy."

"I originally thought that you would find this matter troublesome and come back to me to let me deal with it, but I didn't expect you to do it directly."

"You are really disgusted. Today, you took out the main gun of this cruiser and pointed it at civilians."

"But to be honest, I don't think you will open fire."

"You haven't been really forced into a corner yet. Your personality prevents you from killing civilians."

Although Bai Quan said the same thing as the water vapor psychic in front of Chen Ming at this time, Chen Ming did not refute this in front of familiar people.

He really wouldn't attack those unarmed civilians, especially after he controlled An Wuping to see what Zuo Jing did on Yunluoxing.

But he still had to say: "Actually, I killed someone today."

"Who?"

"Well... it's not quite accurate to say that I killed someone. To be precise, I seriously injured someone."

"Liao Hongsheng."

"His information is the easiest to check, and what is written on his emergency diagnosis will determine what he becomes."

Chen Ming had released twenty shuttles and twenty robots before.

Two of them were intercepted by Qiu Bowen, and the remaining people were not enough for the eighteen robots.

So one of them went to the place where Chen Ming found Liao Hongsheng and helped him realize what should have happened in reality.

"The best outcome for him should be a vegetative state. Of course, the most likely outcome is that he will not be able to get off the operating table."

"That's good. Xinghe should be very happy to hear that."

Bai Quan said, and suddenly sighed: "Let's stop talking about family matters. We still have business to do."

"Okay, business matters..."

Chen Ming thought about it and responded to Bai Quan's question: "Is the general only capable of this? Is this the only resource he can mobilize?"

"These people..."

He pointed to a dozen people in the audience not far away and said: "I have obtained the complete chain of evidence for everything they did and all the evidence, and all of them can be verified with each other."

"It's enough to send them all to prison, or at least remove them from their positions. Do you need the general to take over their positions?"

"As for compensation, where is it? I only saw empty words, and Cheng Xinghe is still in the police station and has not been released."

"I need to see a sincere attitude. Now, I can only say that the general came up with a temporary solution because I was forced into a corner."

Chen Ming could not easily agree to Qiu Bowen's conditions.

Because the current situation is that someone else came to cause trouble, and he resisted.

In the end, he solved the problem, and arrested all those who dared to cause trouble for him.

Then someone came and gave him some benefits casually, and didn't even bother to prepare an apology, and wanted him to go back with his tail wagging? Are you dreaming?

It would be fine if the general didn't know what was going on, but he had been following Chen Ming since he entered the headquarters' spaceport and knew the whole story. Even so, he allowed his subordinates to do this, so he couldn't clear himself from the matter.

Chen Ming is a psychic, a level 5 psychic, a psychic with top psychic abilities.

He is not an ordinary person. If he is not respected, he will never accept this result.

"Okay, I'll go outside and ask again."

Bai Quan must be on Chen Ming's side at this time. After writing down Chen Ming's words, he left the building blocked by Chen Ming again.

He was soon brought to the general Qiu Bowen who was nearby by the shuttle.

Qiu Bowen was at a temporary command post on the roof of a nearby building, where he could see the building next to Chen Ming.

Although the entire building had been sealed by metal liquid, at least he could see the whole picture of the building next to it.

He was smoking at this time, and there were many cigarette butts in the ashtray next to him.

Seeing Bai Quan coming back, he asked, "What does Chen Ming want?"

"He didn't say anything specific, and told the Corps to give it, but he said he wanted to see the attitude."

"Attitude? I've shown him the attitude."

Qiu Bowen skipped the topic of attitude, took a deep puff of cigarette, and said, "He told us to give it... This is the most troublesome thing."

"Can we find a way to calm Chen Ming down first? Let's not talk in this place, and sit down at the negotiation table to discuss compensation?"

Qiu Bowen raised his head slightly and looked at the other side of the building, where Chen Ming's cruiser was hovering.

Bai Quan knew what Qiu Bowen meant, which was to delay first.

Let Chen Ming drive the spacecraft away first to avoid further negative effects.

After all, if it was an ordinary military-type cruiser parked in the city center, the impact would not be that great. The headquarters had plenty of excuses to say it was an exercise or something.

But the key to the problem now is that Chen Ming got a brilliant-class cruiser, which belongs to Yuhui's cruiser model.

A Yuhui cruiser appeared above the 14th Corps headquarters, which had been fighting with Yuhui's large forces for many years. This had an unprecedented impact on the headquarters.

Even if Chen Ming did not actually open fire, the existence of this cruiser was the biggest trouble.

As a general stationed at the headquarters, Qiu Bowen must bear the pressure from all sides.

The corps is not decided by a general.

The only one who has the right to decide in the entire corps is the corps commander, and he must deal with this matter as soon as possible.

That's why he was anxious to let Baiquan persuade Chen Ming to restrain the spacecraft.

But Bai Quan obviously couldn't do what Qiu Bowen wanted at this time: "If the spaceship is taken away and Chen Ming is at the negotiation table, he will not have the advantage he has now. Do you think he is stupid?"

Qiu Bowen lit another cigarette for himself, extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and repeatedly rolled it, as if venting his dissatisfaction: "How can a non-stupid person do such a thing in the headquarters."

"Forget it, I..."

Qiu Bowen was about to say something when he suddenly noticed that a shuttle was approaching the top of the building.

At the same time as noticing the paint on the outside of the shuttle, everyone present at this moment, whether Bai Quan or Qiu Bowen, all stood up.

Qiu Bowen quickly put out the cigarette butt, and Bai Quan also put away his indifferent expression.

Everyone stood straight and looked at the shuttle.

The hatch of the shuttle opened.

A man wearing the uniform of the 14th Corps, but without a military rank badge on his chest, walked down from it.

The people present raised their right hands at the same time and saluted the person who had just come down.

But the people who came down didn't buy it at all, and yelled at Qiu Bowen: "Drag, keep dragging, if you drag on, go back home and drag."

"Leader..."

"What the hell, Legion Commander, I'm just the maid who cleans your ass."

Qiu Bowen lowered his head, not daring to continue talking.

"I've said some time ago that we should protect Chen Ming and not touch Bai Quan. At least before we finish the battle with the mechanical tribe, everyone should restrain themselves and stop thinking about internal fighting every day."

"If I don't come back for a while, you'll treat my words as farts, right? It's fun to make Chen Ming angry and run away, right?"

"Without Chen Ming, you'll go up and fight the mechanical tribe with an iron rod?"

"You have to force me to open a star gate and come back."

Bai Quan whispered beside him: "Is there a star gate on the front line?"

"I stole Yuhui's some time ago, and it can be used after a modification."

"This is not important."

After scolding, the legion commander also knew that the most urgent task now was to deal with Chen Ming's affairs.

He didn't know how many people in the entire empire coveted Chen Ming, but the people below were all doing stupid things for their own interests.

Fortunately, he reacted in time, and there was no urgent business on the front line for the time being, so he could take time to come back.

"From now on, I will take full charge of this matter. I have four hours to deal with things here."

"Bai Quan, take me to see Chen Ming, I will personally apologize to him."

"I have read all the news on the way here. Chen Ming has already arrested all those who should be arrested, right? At that time, all these people who are related to him will be punished."

"As long as they are related, they will all be counted. We must appease Chen Ming."

"Okay."

Bai Quan agreed decisively.

The words of the legion commander are always trustworthy. He will do what he says.

And this is the attitude when doing something wrong.

Although this is not the legion commander's fault.

But since it was someone in the legion who made a mistake, he is willing to solve the mistake for his subordinates and give the person who made the mistake the punishment he deserves.

This is the legion commander's way of doing things.

They all go in the direction of the simplest solution to the problem, and they are swift and resolute.

The shuttle quickly landed at the door of the building where Chen Ming was.

Bai Quan stood outside the building with the legion commander.

But at this moment, the metal liquid at the door did not automatically disperse, and the terminal in Bai Quan's hand suddenly rang.

Chen Ming's message came over: "Who's next to him?"

"Captain, he wants to talk to you in person."

Chen Ming, who was in the building at this time, hesitated.

To be honest, he didn't like to let the captain in.

The captain was a legendary figure.

A man who could reorganize the garbage army near the edge of the star field and reorganize it into the largest and most powerful army in the entire empire.

A figure who jumped from obscurity to a well-known figure in the entire empire.

Such a person is terrifying.

And he is also a psychic, at least level 6.

Although the danger perception was not jumping, Chen Ming had already felt the heavy pressure.

After thinking for a while.

Chen Ming still opened the way for Bai Quan and the captain.

The two soon came to the report hall.

Chen Ming finally saw the captain in person.

The captain looked to be only in his early forties, which was quite young for his status.

He didn't have a beard and was very clean.

If he was not wearing a military uniform, but other clothes, he might look younger.

But it was this young face that gave Chen Ming a heavy feeling.

The corps commander took the lead in greeting Chen Ming: "Hello Chen Ming."

"Hello. Corps commander."

"First of all, I must apologize to you for what happened today."

The corps commander put one hand on his chest and bent down to Chen Ming, not caring about the difference in status between him and Chen Ming.

"There is a problem within the corps, and I must take full responsibility."

Chen Ming nodded slightly.

The corps commander has done enough.

Then he also listened attentively to what the corps commander would say later.

He didn't want a blank check, he wanted something truly valuable.

"All the people involved in this incident will be dealt with, and all handling methods will be carried out in the most strict way."

Chen Ming was not interested in the follow-up of these people, but he still listened to the corps commander arranging the follow-up for everyone.

Anyway, as long as they are involved in this matter, they basically have to go to prison for a few years or more than ten years.

Then, it was time for the specific compensation plan.

"For the specific compensation plan, let's talk about the less material ones first."

"The Legion can compensate you with the honorary membership of the Ship Research Institute."

"Oh?"

Chen Ming's eyes suddenly lit up. He was quite interested in the Ship Research Institute.

Because here, there are many battleship-level technologies.

Although Chen Ming can learn from Chaofan, Chaofan only masters some battleships, that is, the design blueprints of the Yuhui battleship.

The technology of the human battleship is completely unknown.

But battleships are not the most important.

The manufacturing technology of the giant dock is also developed by the Ship Research Institute.

After all, the ship that has been researched must be studied to find out how to manufacture such a behemoth.

And compared to the battleship and the giant dock, there is another thing that is more important.

Stargate.

The design of the stargate also comes from the Ship Research Institute.

If you can join the Ship Research Institute, it will have benefits that Chen Ming can hardly match in other places.

But...

"Isn't this just a nominal member?"

"Of course not a nominal honorary member. The legion gives you an identity with extremely high authority. You can participate in any research project and laboratory at will."

"As long as you don't pretend to know something when you give instructions, or leak the results of some researchers, it will be fine."

The legion leader spoke very directly, but Chen Ming didn't think his tone was aggressive. It was more normal.

"You can ask all the academic questions you need with this identity."

"They will cooperate with you."

Chen Ming confirmed: "This is equivalent to putting all the legion's technologies in front of me."

"Aren't you a member of our 14th Legion?"

The legion commander asked back, and continued: "In addition, there are honorary members of the Psychic Research Institute and the Shining Civilization Research Institute, and the legion can give you both."

Shining Civilization.

That is the real name of the destroyed civilization that Chen Ming has been in contact with. That is what they call themselves.

The research institute that studies Shining Civilization...

Chen Ming dare not imagine how many things he is interested in.

As for the Psychic Research Institute, although Chen Ming has a relationship with He Gu, it is definitely okay for him to go there for a while.

But the identity of an honorary member can obviously avoid many problems.

These three honorary memberships together cover technology, psychic power, and another civilization.

To be honest, it is quite tempting.

But Chen Ming did not rush to agree, and continued to look at the legion commander.

The legion commander did not disappoint him.

"Do you have the list of supplies for the Psychic Research Institute? Pick three of the items on it."

"Choose any?"

"Choose any."

"Fairy tree seeds."

"You'll have to get them from the Psychic Research Institute later. I don't have any of these with me."

The legion commander smiled at Chen Ming: "Okay, that's all."

"I don't think you're interested in the rest. I wonder if these will satisfy you?"

Chen Ming pretended to think about it and replied: "That's it."

Chen Ming's voice fell.

The metallic liquid covering the entire building disappeared into the void in an instant.

The legion commander looked around with interest, and finally turned his gaze back to Chen Ming.

"That's good, then I have to go too. I have something else to do. There will be supervision in the future, and they will handle everything well by then."

"If they don't handle it well..."

The legion commander took out a banknote from the pocket of his military uniform, wrote a small line of words on it and handed it to Chen Ming.

"Just call me and I'll handle it myself."

"By the way, I heard you're getting engaged in two days?"

"Yes."

"I'm sure I won't be able to attend your engagement party, but I'll give you the gift."

He touched his pocket again and took out something that must have been prepared in advance and handed it to Chen Ming.

This is a box made of silent alloy.

In this box are two spiritual stones that look very special.

There is an inexplicable connection between them.

And the characteristics of these two spiritual stones are love.
