Victor only realized at this mont, and the atmosphere on site suddenly beca very awkward. He quickly laughed and said, "I was just joking, don’t take it to heart."
Su Mo almost spat blood, truly not afraid of opponents like God, just afraid of teammates like pigs, what’s this guy doing bringing that up for no reason.
Towes hurriedly changed the subject, saying to Su Mo and the others, "You’re here for the mission too?"
"Yes, that’s right. By the way, why are you here? I thought you were on the front lines."
Su Mo followed Towes’ lead and chatted casually.
"We didn’t go to the front lines, not with the formation of the Fifth Legion. We were transferred to act as instructors for the Fifth Legion. Now there’s basically nothing much to do, just giving lessons to that group of brats on the Star Destroyer."
Victor explained.
"That’s not bad."
Su Mo nodded.
"Actually, it’s no different; soon enough the Fifth Legion will be heading to the front lines too."
"True enough."
...
While Su Mo and the others were chatting casually, a slightly surprised and unexpected voice suddenly rang out.
"Su Mo?"
Su Mo and the others paused slightly, turning their heads to look.
They saw Jiang Hanqiu in a military uniform passing by, uncertainly calling out.
"Jiang Hanqiu?"
Su Mo and Qian Chengxue were also extrely surprised.
"It really is you guys."
Jiang Hanqiu’s tense face broke into a warm smile.
At this point, Victor and Towes straightened up and saluted Jiang Hanqiu, greeting, "Hello, Deputy Captain."
Su Mo was increasingly surprised when he heard Victor and Towes’ greeting, he said to Jiang Hanqiu, "Wow, it’s been a few years and you’ve done so well! You’re now a Star Destroyer’s Deputy Captain, which makes you the Deputy Commander of the Fifth Legion."
"It’s alright."
Jiang Hanqiu responded with a smile.
"What do you an ’alright’, that’s really impressive, you’re doing even better than Xiao Wen now, it’s really like the saying ’ten years for the east, ten years for the west’."
Su Mo couldn’t help but tease.
It’s known how hard Xiao Wen has worked, risking his life so many tis, with my help too, but still only managed to beco the commander of a patrol fleet.
But Jiang Hanqiu has already climbed to Deputy Commander of the Fifth Expeditionary Corps, also acting as Deputy Captain of a Star Destroyer.
The rank difference is quite big indeed.
Jiang Hanqiu shook her head and explained to Su Mo, "It’s not what you think, I’m at such a high position not because I’m better than Commander Xiao Wen. It’s just because I’m formally trained, and Commander Xiao Wen isn’t, otherwise with his talent, he would have achieved even more by now."
By the end, Jiang Hanqiu was quite regretful.
Su Mo was stunned after hearing this, formally trained? There’s such a saying?
But he figured it’s not just as simple as the two words "formally trained." There must be more complicated reasons behind it, simply put, it should be because of so faction.
Of course, Su Mo isn’t so inept with social skills to ask about these things.
"Don’t say that, I think your talent in starship command is exceptional. After all, in this area, you’re a professional. I rember you were already commanding large weaponry during the Earth Cup, fighting all over the sea. I think you could even be a Captain, not just a Deputy Captain."
Su Mo grinned to change the subject.
Jiang Hanqiu sighed when she heard this and said, "Actually, I competed for the position of Star Destroyer Captain, but unfortunately, I got topped by soone with better connections."
"Ah?"
Su Mo was a bit baffled after hearing that.
"Just a tiny bit short, it’s really too bad, you don’t know how powerful the performance of that Star Destroyer - Phantom Flower is."
Jiang Hanqiu was extrely regretful when she got to this point.
Su Mo’s mouth was twitching as he listened, thinking, thank goodness you didn’t get chosen for the position of Star Destroyer Captain. Otherwise, when you get used to it and then suddenly have to return the ship, it would be troubleso.
After all, they see each other often and it would be awkward, so this is rather good.
Even though Su Mo thought this way inside, he still joined in complaining verbally.
"Who has such powerful connections to bump you out of it."
"The Council President of Alles’ own elder sister, what can you do."
Jiang Hanqiu finally had soone to vent her grudge to; in fact, she was genuinely unconvinced. After all, she felt her own talent in command of starships far surpassed the other’s.
"You didn’t really lose unjustly, don’t lose heart, this might be a good thing."
Su Mo was quite surprised too, didn’t expect that sexy beauty to be Alles’ sister, didn’t see it at all before.
Just then, the deep voice of Fake Owner · Swallower echoed, saying to Su Mo, "Find a way to embezzle the Negative God Fragnt."
"Am I that kind of person? How am I supposed to explain to Alles if I embezzle it, it’s obvious this is worth more than a Star Destroyer. I reckon if the Federation holds onto this fragnt, they could trade it for good stuff from Star Ring City or the old man in no ti."
Su Mo figured it out.
"But you have to find a way, you can’t just let the fatty at in your mouth slip away, right? Besides, with just you guys, you can’t fully utilize its true potential."
Fake Owner · Swallower still refused to give up.
"No way, no way, I’m a principled person, unless the Star Destroyer gets blown up, there’s no way I’m confiscating it and not returning it to the Federation. You can’t expect to hope my own ship gets blown up, right?"
Su Mo responded with twitching lips.
"Well then, find a way to blow up the ship."
Fake Owner · Swallower was practically insane about achieving its goal.
Su Mo’s expression was extraordinarily complex.
Jiang Hanqiu saw Su Mo’s unusual expression and thought he was regretful for her not securing the captain position, so she smiled and said to Su Mo, "Actually, it’s fine now too, I didn’t get selected, there’s always a chance in the future!"
"Yes, exactly."
Su Mo quickly agreed.
At this mont, the sound of footsteps ca, and they saw the charming and alluring Tia approach with a group of people.
She imdiately spotted the gathered crowd.
Jiang Hanqiu and the others naturally saw Tia as well, her smile quickly disappeared, turning expressionless again.
When passing by, Tia stopped and said to Jiang Hanqiu with a smile.
"Deputy Captain, rember to send the statistical report I requested later, I’m waiting to see it."
"Understood."
Jiang Hanqiu responded flatly.
Tia wasn’t upset by Jiang Hanqiu’s indifference, she passed by with a smile.
Leaving only a very pleasant slling perfu scent behind.
Sun Duoxiang watched Tia’s departing figure, drooling almost, whispering to Su Mo, "Boss, that captain looks even more sexy up close, her figure is hotter."
"Mind your words."
Su Mo quickly kicked Sun Duoxiang, that’s the commander of the Fifth Expeditionary Corps, Alles’ sister, joking about her is courting death.
Sun Duoxiang finally snapped out of it and shut his mouth quickly.
