Reborn as a prince, achieve the pinnacle of power

After a moment, Young Master Chu took a deep breath to calm his agitated emotions, then slowly exhaled, and his eyes gradually regained clarity.

He responded to Zhao Zhigang with a firm look: "Thank you, godfather and the general manager, for your trust."

After Young Master Chu finished speaking, he picked up the document on the table and opened it.

There is only an eye-catching title [20XX Joint Promotion List of the Three Armed Forces], and a line of small print below carefully marks the date and approval process, highlighting its formality and authority.

Young Master Chu's fingers gently slid across the title, feeling the texture of the paper, and an inexplicable emotion rose in his heart.

He immediately opened the second page, his pupils dilated instantly, his steady hands trembled slightly, his eyes were fixed on the page in front of him, and his heartbeat accelerated.

Generals: Chu Yuchen, Xie Yunting, Xu Lingchuan.

There are only three people on the list of promotion to admiral, namely, Young Master Chu and his two deputies who fought against him, Deputy Commander of the Navy Xie Yunting and Deputy Commander of the Air Force Xu Lingchuan.

The promotions of Xie Yunting and Xu Lingchuan were a natural outcome, and Young Master Chu was not surprised at all.

These two will replace Yan Jinsheng and Zhang Guojin as the new leaders of the navy and air force next year.

He was surprised at how big a leap it was to be promoted directly from a major general to a general. Such a promotion span was usually extremely rare, and it meant huge responsibilities and higher expectations.

Is it...

"Is this appropriate?"

Young Master Chu raised his eyes to look at Zhao Zhigang, his voice trembling a little: "Isn't it too abrupt for me to directly jump over the lieutenant general?"

"You worry too much."

Zhao Zhigang said with a smile: "Boss Chu is a young talent. My Great Xia military is now able to dominate Asia and East Asia and dare to compete for world dominance. You have made great contributions.

This promotion is not a spur of the moment award or a simple reward; it is a comprehensive evaluation of your achievements over the past few years.

After a pause, Zhao Zhigang picked up the teacup and took a sip to moisten his throat. His expression turned serious:

“A man with ambition never ages, but without ambition his life is in vain.

In today's world of great contention, changes are emerging one after another.

We need young people like you who have the courage and ability to take on challenges and drive change.

This is an opportunity and also a test. We all believe that you can carry the banner of the Daxia military and plant the five-star battle flag all over the world."

Hearing this, Young Master Chu's uneasiness gradually dissipated, and was replaced by a deep sense of mission.

"Thank you, godfather and the general manager, for your trust. I will do my best and live up to everyone's expectations." He solemnly promised.

"well!"

Zhao Zhigang smiled and sighed: "This is the responsibility that a good man of Daxia should have."

"Boss Chu, from the list of those promoted to generals, we can see that next year, Lao Yan and Lao Zhang will retreat to the second line."

Zhao Zhigang pondered for a moment and said earnestly, "Originally, I should retire next year and spend my remaining years at home.

But at the beginning of the year, my godfather found me and asked me to serve another term to pass on the knowledge, help and guide the students. You understand what that means, right? "

Young Master Chu nodded heavily.

If I had not been in the army for too short a time and was not too young, my godfather would probably have let me take charge of the armed forces next year.

"So, starting today, I have informed the General Manager's Office that a copy of every document I review will be sent to you. I will be your guard for another five years."

Zhao Zhigang stood up, patted Young Master Chu on the shoulder, and said with a kind smile: "During the next five years, I will assist you and allow you to fully understand and integrate into all aspects of the military.

Five years later, you will be thirty. As the saying goes, a man is thirty and should be able to stand on his own feet. The baton of command of the military will be handed over to you. "

After Zhao Zhigang finished speaking, he patted Young Master Chu on the shoulder again and walked away.

As the footsteps of Zhao Zhigang faded away, only Young Master Chu was left in the room. He sat quietly at the table and lit a cigarette. He walked to the window and stared at the vast world outside, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

As Young Master Chu finished speaking, Wu Qingzhu appeared in the office, holding a document in his hand and respectfully handed it to Young Master Chu: "Boss Chu, this is the plan for the Lanhai exercise, please take a look."

Young Master Chu waved his hand slightly: "Qingzhu, please read it to me briefly first."

Wu Qingzhu nodded, opened the file, cleared his throat, and read out in a crisp voice:

"This exercise will begin on June 1st. Our navy will mobilize two aircraft carriers, fourteen destroyers, twenty frigates, ten submarines, and nearly three hundred fighter planes of various types..."

As Wu Qingzhu continued to narrate, Young Master Chu's eyes kept flashing with thought. He took a puff of cigarette, nodded, and pondered for a moment:

"Tell Lao Yan that the exercise area should be as close as possible to the waters of the Philippines and Annan, and add an island capture and landing subject."

"Okay, Mr. Chu."

Wu Qingzhu wrote down Mr. Chu's instructions. Seeing that Mr. Chu didn't give any more instructions, he saluted and turned to leave.

……

As night fell, Young Master Chu, who had arranged his work for the next few days, drove to the courtyard where the old man lived.

The lights in the courtyard were dim, and Young Master Chu walked through the vermilion gate and entered the courtyard with ease. The old man's hearty and loud laughter pierced through the night.

When Young Master Chu stepped into the hall, he saw the old man sitting in a rocking chair, happily chatting with Li Yitong and Bai Xiaolu.

"Grandpa, I'm here."

Young Master Chu's voice was gentle and respectful, breaking the laughter in the hall and attracting everyone's attention.

The old man looked up upon hearing the voice, his smile widened, his eyes narrowed into crescents: "Hey, grandson, come quickly, come quickly, look at how busy you are, let grandpa see how you became a general in the blink of an eye."

"Admiral?"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze because of the old man's words, and Qin Qing and Chu Yunyang's eyes flashed with shock and disbelief.

Li Yitong and Bai Xiaolu opened their eyes wide, their mouths slightly opened, and their gazes fell on Young Master Chu's shoulders at the same time.

"Grandpa, are you wrong? Yuchen still has a star on his shoulder."

Bai Xiaolu's delicate little face was full of confusion.

The old man laughed loudly, his tone full of joy: "Haha, Yuchen, tell them yourself."

"Grandpa is right."

Under the gaze of the whole family, Young Master Chu walked over to the old man and sat down, smiling slightly: "The military will promote a group of meritorious personnel before National Day, and I will be awarded the rank of general."

As soon as these words were spoken, the room was in an uproar again. Qin Qing and Chu Yunyang and his wife looked at each other, with surprise and deep pride in their eyes.

Having a son like this is enough for my life.
