476 The Battle for the Squadron Leader

Wang Zheng was in dire straits on Tita Titan Star… or he could be considered to be obsessed. He had completed the cleaning and maintenance of the 15 mecha. However, Wang Zheng had no intention of returning to rest. He cooked another 2 packets of instant noodles and took out the last serving of ham from the fridge. In just a while, he had finished consuming the food. He started the engine of the scout-type mech that hadn’t been used for a long time and placed it on the cranes once again.
At the same time, Meng Tian was processing a large amount of files in the Staff Officer’s office in the far away Earth Military region of the Solar System Federation. She had a cold disposition when she was wearing the Federation military uniform. She looked attractive but unapproachable.

Meng Tian you should take a break. At the same time, could you pass this document to General Meng for approval?
The Staff Officer was friendly with Meng Tian. If it wasn’t because Meng Tian insisted that she should also receive the same kind of treatment as a recruit, he wouldn’t have given her so much work too.
Everyone in the Staff Officer’s office knew about Meng Tian’s identity. She was the daughter of General Meng and had a rare ice element Ability X. She even had achievements during the IG. She was only here to clock some experience and had a bright future. She might even become their superiors in a few years.

Yes, Sir.

Meng Tian stood up and received all the documents before leaving the Staff Officer’s office. She would always look forward and would only reveal a faint smile and nod her head when she greeted a colleague.
When she was at the door of Meng Ao’s office, she knocked softly on the door and said,
Meng Tian from the Staff Officer’s office seeking permission to enter.


Come in,
said Meng Ao.
Meng Tian pushed opened the door and said,
General, these are the documents from the Staff Officer’s office.

Hehe, put it down. Hmm. Not too shabby. You were starting to look more and more like a soldier. Have you gotten used to the culture at the Staff Officer’s office?


Yes, General.

Meng Ao touched his nose and thought to himself. He was getting more satisfied in various aspects about this daughter of his. He had completely let go of the regrets he felt when he couldn’t get a son. However, it had been a long time since he heard Meng Tian addressed him as
father
. This was a serious matter as Meng Tian was addressing him as
general
even at home.
He had to come up with something…
Ring ring…
At this moment, Meng Ao’s skylink started to vibrate. Meng Ao frowned slightly and took a look at the message from the skylink. He was stunned for a moment and let out a huge laugh suddenly.
Haha, there was another way out. This dude was really lucky. That’s great, that’s great. It’s really great!

Meng Tian was taken aback. She had rarely seen Meng Ao so happy even though she was his daughter. The last time it happened could be traced back to the historic breakthrough during the last IG.

General, what is the thing that made you so happy?
Although she felt that she shouldn’t ask, she still asked it in the end. She wasn’t able to hold back her curiosity.
Meng Ao looked at Meng Tian with hidden intention. Initially, he had intended to never bring up topics regarding Wang Zheng to her. However, he could talk about it this time.

Weren’t you always interested in knowing where Wang Zheng was?

Meng Tian raised her head and her eyes clearly flickered. After some time, she finally nodded her head gently. She was feeling a little uncomfortable and felt that Wang Zheng’s current condition must be really bad…
However, her reasoning told her that it wouldn’t be possible! Wang Zheng was a genius and with his achievements, how could he be not doing well? The reason as to why there was no news about him was probably because he was in some special department…
Zhang Runan was in a similar situation. She disappeared for half a month previously. When she re-appeared in the military area of Earth the last time, she was already a reserve second lieutenant.
Even the most unreliable Zhang Shan had entered the Federal’s Mecha Special Forces as an intern.
Therefore, more could be expected of Wang Zheng who had brilliant performances during the last IG.
What!
Even with her cold personality, Meng Tian’s eyes widened!
The few of them from Ares College had been guessing where Wang Zheng had gone to with several of the special department being the most likely.
However, Tita Titan Star!
Meng Tian knew about this backward planet from the military summary previously. What attracted her attention at that time was that this planet had restrictions on energy-type weapons. The Mayans would definitely have no interests in this planet. Another thing was the super gravity Titan mineral ore that represented huge economic benefit.
At that time, her assessment of the situation of Tita Titan Star was that this planet would fall into endless war and had an orange classification for the level of danger.

This wasn’t fair!
said Meng Tian with some anger. She had the reason to be angry. This wasn’t simply because Wang Zheng was her school mates and her friends. If the Solar System Federation wished to rise, how could they still allow such political actions? Wang Zheng was a talent and they should allow him to shine. Relative to the positions of the other IG members, what was Tita Titan Star?
Meng Ao looked at Meng Tian quietly till her gaze had calmed down before continuing,
The spaceship carrying Wang Zheng to Tita Titan Star met with some situation. The signal of the spaceship was determined as that of the pirate’s and was shot down. However, no one had expected that kid to survive and had the courage to report to duty at the Milky Way Alliance. He had a tough life and was really brave. Haha, great, really great.

Meng Tian was a little frightened when she heard the news.
Who did it?

However, Meng Ao stood up and patted his daughter’s shoulder.
Alright, now that you know about this matter, do not speak to the others about it. This kid would be blessed considering he survived a huge ordeal. The Federation… they not given up on the habits of humans! You should go now. There are still many things for you to do in the future.

Meng Tian bit her lips and nodded her head heavily. As she turned around and leave, she knew that her dad had told this to her on purpose. It was to let her know that she shouldn’t be so gullible.
Looking at the back of Meng Tian, Meng Ao let out a sigh. Some things were beyond his control. No matter how great his influence, his influence was limited to the military. After all, he also had enemies. If he were to do something, there would be obstruction. With regard to the matter of Wang Zheng, it wasn’t that he wasn’t doing anything. However, his opponents’ influence was too great. He couldn’t help but accept it when it came down crushing.
The good thing was that Wang Zheng did not let him down! He was able to survive though it and had the courage to follow the order to report. Currently, the influence of these people had weakened. These people would also not have the ability to take actions against Wang Zheng anymore. As for him, he could start to make some preparations. He wasn’t the kind that would not retaliate when driven into a corner!
Tita Titan Star, Canyon City…
In the Red Fox Bar.
One could tell from the name that this was the territory of the third section.
The truth was that it was opened by someone from the third section. However, this person had already retired and chose to live on Tita Titan Star.
Smoke was lingering within the bar. On the wall, a giant electronic screen was streaming a baseball batch. Jing Long and the rest were watching the match while smoking and drinking beer. This was where they could relax themselves, watch a match and be drink. In this place, they weren’t soldiers but themselves.
Only god knew how long it would take till the end of the mission. Based on the current situation, there was no hope that it would end soon. Those who were here to clock their experience had left one after another after they had gathered enough experience, leaving those without any connections behinds.

Keep your hands to yourselves. Do you think it was easy for me to hire a beer girl?

A bald hunk that was limping on a metal leg was shouting at the people who were teasing the beer girls.
Jing Long burst into laughter. He turned around and retorted,
Curse you you baldy. The ladies hadn’t even said anything. If you were jealous, you could just call some professionals down!

The beer girls were smiling and were trying hard to sell the beer they were representing. The profits from the sale of beer would be split in the ratio of 3:3:4 between them, the bar owner and the beer distributors. In Canyon City, there weren’t a group who the beer girls could earn more from. Truthfully speaking, if given the opportunity, they would want to be in a relationship with the soldiers. Supporting the military would garner the best benefits in this place.
Amongst the laughter, no one knew if the gaze of the soldiers were on the match on the screen or had shifted to the boobs of the girls…
Nonetheless, it was truly an exciting
view
.
The bald hunk was Chen Qiang and was the scout of the third section previously. Due to an accident in one of the mission, he broke one of his legs. He did not have parents and had only a bunch of brothers from the third section. He chose not to return to his country as a
hero
. Technically speaking, if he returned, he would just be a handicap that no one knew about. Therefore, he had joined the
Immigration Plan
of the Tita Titan Star and opened the Red Fox bar.
He grabbed the muscular guy, opened several cans of beer and asked,
I heard that the Squadron Leader had wanted to leave and no one from the Milky Way Alliance was willing to take up the position. Would the Red Fox have the chance…?

The bald hunk made an
Up
hand signal.

Curse you. Where did you hear such confidential matters from?


Confidential your head. Anyone in the Canyon City with some connections would know about it!
