It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future (WN)

Ling Lan asked about Major General Gao.

Ling Xiao only replied with a meaningful smile, and Ling Lan understood it.

Her father had his own people in the military too. They hid well and would only show themselves when a crucial situation arose.

Major General Gao would have probably revealed himself to help her in the conference if she needed it. If she made any mistakes at the conference, he would lend a helping hand.

Ling Lan gave a small smile to show how happy she was. Her father was always prepared beforehand. Whether she needed it or not, he would be always prepared to help her. He would ensure that she was able to do what she wanted without having to worry about her back.

She was very lucky to be able to meet her parents. They trusted and loved her completely. Even if she killed someone, they wouldn't ask her anything about it. Instead, they would give her a knife and even help her to bury the corpse.

The two of them chatted for a while more. Ling Xiao told Ling Lan what he was doing currently so that she could prepare mentally.

Ling Xiao could see how much Ling Lan had grown over the years. He had the intention of letting her know about the fight for power between the higher authorities in the military. Once Lingtian became an independent army, she would eventually have to deal with all the political matters that would flood her. She wouldn't be able to enter the core circle but she would still have to face many dangers. If she didn't remain vigilant, she might suffer due to her ignorance on the matter.

Ling Lan listened to Ling Xiao attentively. She knew that her father was teaching her valuable lessons. Just like what he mentioned, if Lingtian became an independent army, the things he said would be useful.

Half an hour passed. Ling Xiao had many topics to teach Ling Lan but he was very busy. He Xuyang put in much effort before he managed to squeeze some time for Ling Xiao to talk to Ling Lan. When He Xuyang reminded Ling Xiao for the third time to end the call, he had no choice but to hang up on the call.

The night was silent. The next morning, Ling Lan and her companions sat in the shuttle and left Planet General. They boarded the starship heading to Base Nebula from the Soldier City.

With Ling Xiao's help, they had a smooth journey. The starship they were on disappeared into the planetary sector.

At that moment, an order preventing Ling Lan from leaving Planet General arrived at the port. However, it was useless. Those people that wanted to keep Ling Lan on Planet General sighed in pity.

"Major Han, a starship is requesting to enter Base Nebula." A JMC received a request to enter the base so she hurriedly looked for her major.

Han Xuya replied calmly, "Ask them for their starship number, their identity, and their passcode for entering the base."

The JMC sent the request. The other party replied quickly, "Starship number: XY-001 from Base Nebula. Passcode: !@@^%$#$!@…"

Han Xuya jumped up happily. "It's Boss."

"Huh?" The JMC was confused.

"Our regiment commander is back." Another JMC managed to react quickly and shouted happily.

"Quick, send the signal to me." The tiredness on her face disappeared. She had been spending the last few days in anxiety and agitation. Finally, she could relax.

The JMC at the spaceport moved quickly. The next second, the signal from the spaceship was sent to Han Xuya.

"Regiment commander!" Han Xuya shouted excitedly.

"Xuya? Why is it you?" Ling Lan was stunned to hear that familiar voice. She quickly pressed the button and took over the call.

"Something happened in the base during your absence. However, we worked together and overcame the difficulty." Han Xuya just briefly explained the situation as it was not a suitable time to talk.

"I understand. Lead me into the base now." Ling Lan knew that many things must have happened at the base after she had left. After all, it was a part of her plan, but it seemed that this issue was a little more serious than she had expected.

Ling Lan was surprised but not agitated. Since Han Xuya was able to control the spaceport, it meant that the entire base was still under Lingtian's control.

The starship slowly docked into the spaceport. Ling Lan walked down the starship and saw the core members of Lingtian.

Ling Lan looked at them and asked calmly, "What happened?"

Yang Mingzhi's gentle aura had disappeared. He replied seriously, "After you left, the military sent three mecha clans over. These three mecha clans are all first-rank five-star mecha clans."

"Oh? Who did it?" Ling Lan raised her eyebrows.

Yang Mingzhi's expression turned darker. He replied instantly, "The three great marshals."

Ling Lan understood what he meant. "Each marshal sent one mecha clan. Seems like we are very popular."

"While we focused on searching for the spies, they took the chance to contact the regiment commanders in the base with the intention to assign someone else as the commander of the mecha clans." Liu Furong reported the actions of these three mecha clans.

"Our commanding officer of the base took part in it too?" Ling Lan was in deep thought.

"Yes and no. A new commanding officer has come to our base." Li Lanfeng smiled as he replied Ling Lan.

"Major General Yu went to take a higher position?" This was unexpected. Looks like a huge drama was being played during these past three days.

"Yes. He was transferred to the 16th division to be the head of the logistics department of a newly formed fleet," Li Lanfeng answered.

Ling Lan frowned. "That position is of a similar rank." Based on the merits Yu Huan got from this battle, he should be able to become the vice-head of a department in the military headquarters.

Although it was just a vice-head, its status was much higher than the head of the logistics department of a fleet. If he waited for a few more years, he might take over as the head of a department. The head of the logistics department might sound impressive but it was not a position within the military headquarters. There was no future in it.

"It's better than being the commanding officer of a base. Major General Yu was quite happy with the new arrangement," Li Lanfeng said.

"That's true. This arrangement is still not bad. The military still remembered his contribution and gave him a new fleet. The soldiers there are all new so they don't have factions or clicks yet. With Yu Huan's ability, he would be able to create results." Ling Lan acknowledged Yu Huan's ability. That was why she didn't take over the control of the base in the first place. She trusted Yu Huan.
