Su Mo felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity the mont he stepped onto the land of Earth Star, truly affirming the saying that a golden nest or silver nest does not compare to one’s own humble ho.
No matter how good Star Ring City is, it lacks the comfort of Earth Star.
"Su Mo, I need to go back to the company to quickly sort out the route and transport company issues. There have been too many delays, and now the officials responsible in the Federation are urging ."
Qian Chengxue said with a bit of a headache.
"I understand. You’ve worked hard. How about this, I’ll have Sun Duoxiang assist you."
Su Mo thought for a mont and said.
"Alright!"
Qian Chengxue did not refuse, as she indeed needed manpower urgently.
"No problem, boss. I will definitely do my best to help Sister Xue."
Sun Duoxiang imdiately promised with a pat on his chest.
"Alright then, I’ll leave it to you guys. I have so other matters to handle. I’ll co to find you as soon as I’m done."
Su Mo said in a very good mood.
"Okay, we’ll get going then."
Qian Chengxue nodded in agreent.
...
In the top-floor office of the Federation administrative center building.
Alles was frowning as he corrected docunts, with the uncorrected ones almost piling up into a mountain beside him.
Knock knock~
A series of knocks sounded on the door.
"Co in."
Alles replied simply, without lifting his head.
The door was then opened, and a tall figure straightened up and walked in, saluted Alles, and said.
"President of Alles Council, Su Mo reporting for duty."
Alles was slightly taken aback, looking up at Su Mo who walked in straight, also slightly taken aback.
What is this guy up to? He could have just co in directly, why make it so formal?
However, after a brief surprise, Alles quickly reacted, and with great joy said, "Su Mo, are you preparing to return to the Federation Army?"
Su Mo flashed a bright smile and said.
"That’s right, with the current chaos, as a mber of the Federation, how can I not do my part?"
"That’s great. I’ll arrange for you right away..."
Alles was genuinely happy from the bottom of his heart.
But just as he was halfway through his sentence, Su Mo coughed and, interrupting the Council President, smiled and said, "No need for any special arrangents, I’ll just take a position in the logistics departnt. You can rest assured with logistics and transportation in my hands."
Alles, hearing Su Mo’s words, almost swore if not for his excellent upbringing and never having cursed.
"The logistics and transportation departnt?"
"Yes, didn’t I form a transport company with the Federation? It also has a semi-military nature, and I’m just in the right place to reflect my role."
Su Mo said with a cheerful smile.
"How can this be? This is talent going to waste, too underutilized."
Alles felt like he had ridden a roller coaster, plumting from the sky to the ground.
"It’s not a waste. You know my current situation; it’s really not suitable for frontline combat. The logistics support and transportation are the best fit."
Su Mo quickly persuaded, fearing that Alles would assign him to frontline combat roles.
He’s joking, the reason he chose to reenlist is that the Federation is forming the Fifth Expeditionary Army, which will soon be heading for Ceres.
At that ti, he could join the main force with his logistics identity.
And he could officially slack off, using the pretense to complete the old man’s tasks, it was all too perfect.
But first, he cannot beco a frontline combatant, otherwise, how could he slack off?
"Are you sure?"
Alles asked a bit reluctantly.
"I’m sure, this works well."
Su Mo quickly explained.
Alles sighed slightly, though it was a pity, Su Mo reenlisting was better than not enlisting at all. After all, Alles was aware of his current physical condition, and couldn’t push him.
So, he did not impose excessive demands.
"Alright, have it your way, logistics departnt it is."
"Thank you, Council President."
Su Mo saw Alles agreed, smiling broadly inside.
"But since you’re reenlisting, we’ll restore your rank and promote you to General of the Federation Governnt."
Alles thought for a mont and said.
"No need, it’s inappropriate. As a logistics and transport corps officer, holding a general’s rank would cause chaos, wouldn’t it?"
Su Mo was startled and quickly declined.
"Who would dare object? This is what you deserve, well deserved!"
Alles insisted resolutely.
"President Alles Council, that really doesn’t fit. How about granting a Major General rank, that’s just right!"
Su Mo quickly negotiated with Alles. He joked that if he bore a general’s rank, he wouldn’t avoid becoming the center of attention; it would be difficult to keep things low-key.
"Isn’t this nonsense? You were an Admiral when you retired, and now be a Major General, what sense does that make!"
Alles frowned, feeling it was unreasonable.
"Ah, the rank doesn’t matter. A Major General’s rank is just perfect; if the rank is too high, it would scare everyone, and making friends would be hard."
Su Mo thought, even with an Admiral rank, he’d still have to work. He’s not that foolish.
Also, the rank size for Su Mo ant nothing, considering he had that badge with maximized authority, not different from a General. Why bother with a nominal title?
After hearing Su Mo, Alles also found it a bit absurd. But after weighing it, he relented.
"Alright, as you say, Major General it is."
"Thank you so much, Council President."
Su Mo responded instantly with a beaming smile.
"Thank for what? Thank for lowering your rank?"
Alles himself found it quite amusing.
"Uh, let’s not talk about this, Council President. You’ve got so many files to review on your desk; have you been really busy lately?"
Su Mo quickly changed the subject.
"Busy, incredibly busy; recently there’s a big move in Star Ring City."
Alles said this with an increasingly grave expression, appearing to face so tricky issue.
"What big move? How co I haven’t heard of it?"
Su Mo asked curiously.
"It’s normal you haven’t heard. It’s an economic adjustnt; Star Ring City lowered all mineral raw material trade prices and raised mid-to-high-tier weapons prices. They also implented a weapon purchase restriction policy, where buying weapons requires accepting designated mineral collection tasks."
Alles ntioned these issues with a bit of helplessness.
"Damn, isn’t this blatant robbery and exploitation?"
On hearing this, Su Mo imdiately sensed the issue.
"What can you do? We’re currently negotiating with Star Ring City about Earth Star’s transformation; do you think we have room to bargain?"
Alles, hands behind his back, walked to the window, gazing into the distance.
"Planetary transformation, are you converting Earth Star into a Suitable Star?"
Su Mo’s heart skipped a beat; he knew the Federation was looking to Star Ring City for a Suitable Star. But he didn’t expect the Council President to plan on transforming their Earth Star.
