Chapter 397: Chapter 229: Scorched Earth Plan, Publicly Seeking Defeat!

Tonight, in Central City, all major traffic routes have been cleared, and forty minutes ago, the radio station had reported this news.

Mo Zhenting arrived at the National Guest House by military aircraft, receiving the highest level of reception, even the no-fly zones were opened, allowing several fighter jets of the Seventh Battle Group to escort him.

“Commander, you’ll be staying in Heng Province for a month. Originally, it was about ten days, but during the voyage, a large-scale radio storm occurred, causing considerable damage to the exterior of the warship.”

Inside the military aircraft, Mo Zhenting, with eyes closed, listened quietly to the adjutant’s report, gently tapping his fingers. On the thirteenth tap, he opened his eyes and said:

“Will this radio storm last a month?”

“About eighteen days.”

Mo Zhenting nodded and said:

“Then rest on the spot, rotating all soldiers for defense change, each person arranged with about four days of holiday.”

The young adjutant saluted and then retreated to convey the orders.

The Seventh Battle Group’s senior officers are relatively younger compared to other groups, with most graduates from Southwest United.

In recent years, the notion of the “Southwest Gang” within the Seventh Battle Group has become increasingly widespread and recognized.

“Mo Commander, you have two meeting requests, from the Governor’s Mansion and the Education Department.”

The illusory light and shadow leapt, condensing into the youthful and bright image of a young lady.

She also wore the battle group uniform, white long boots and a knee-length pencil skirt, paired with short, tidy hair covering her ears, appearing valiant and suave.

This lively consciousness belonging solely to the Seventh Battle Group, Mo Zhenting’s division, is named “Haila.”

“Meet the representative from the Governor’s Mansion first.”

Mo Zhenting contemplated for two seconds, then responded.

“Should the meeting with the Education Department be postponed or deferred?”

Haila asked.

“Postponed to…”

Mo Zhenting hesitated for a moment, then amended:

“Deferred.”

He has long been in the division, the promotion to commander is firmly established.

He is undoubtedly the new generation leader of the Seventh Battle Group.

Being adept in the division’s inquiry pathways, Mo Zhenting naturally understood.

Postpone and defer express two different attitudes.

The former is temporarily unsuitable for meeting, the latter means there is no intention or need for it.

“Alright.”

Haila nodded.

Adjusted the schedule accordingly.

Sending Haila away, Mo Zhenting obtained a space for solitude.

He took off his hat and sat upright in the chair with a backrest.

His gaze passed through the porthole, staring at the bustling metropolis he was infinitely familiar with.

Compared to the constant small-scale conflicts in the Beidou Star Domain, Heng Province New Star, located in the border area, exudes a long-lost peace.

“Heng Province…”

Mo Zhenting pondered with an indescribable meaning.

He had just completed the medal awarding of the Golden Corn Shoulder Badge and received a commendation from the division, setting an example.

Without doubt, he is the rising star of the Seventh Battle Group.

Originally, he should have gone to the second fortress in Beidou Star Domain, Tianxuan, to guard it.

But Mo Zhenting temporarily received an artificial radio message from the division, being delegated to Heng Province to carry out strategic expansion defense.

“Could this be the division’s assessment of me?”

Mo Zhenting pondered.

Leading a division is a major hurdle in a military career.

Crossing over, in future there’s a possibility to step into the Military Department building and become a galaxy giant commanding an army group.

If not crossed, this lifelong will be spent in the division until retirement.

With no further progress.

Therefore, after being awarded, Mo Zhenting is meticulous with his words and actions.

Especially upon arriving in Heng Province, as “a triumphant return,” he is unwilling to be overly showy in everything.

“Meeting between a son and father is reasonable, but the future commander of the battle group and the Education Director’s conversation needs to be recorded.”

Mo Zhenting shook his head.

Having gone through many hardships to reach today, this step must be taken regardless of anything.

The next day.

The exclusive car from the Governor’s Mansion arrived at the National Guest House.

It was still the Tai Monarch who came forward.

The meeting wasn’t held at the Governor’s Mansion, instead, the Tai Monarch personally came to the National Guest House, showing significant regard for Mo Zhenting, the rising star from Heng Province in the battle group.

“Mo Commander, let’s sit and talk.”

The moment the Tai Monarch saw Mo Zhenting, he felt an extremely robust spiritual power in him, akin to some kind of rigid body, immune to any applied pressure, without any changes.

As the active consciousness dominating Heng Province, the Tai Monarch naturally disseminates similar spirit fluctuations like magnetic fields, subtly infiltrating the outside world.

But when approaching Mo Zhenting, and facing him, the Tai Monarch found his spiritual fluctuations were like waves crashing against the brass wall, leaving no trace.

“Is Governor Feng still secluded? Truly a pity, I had wanted to pay respects as a junior in the Seventh Battle Group.”

Mo Zhenting was quite polite, lacking the defiant temperament rumored of the battle group’s rising star.

Feng Wuyong once served in the Seventh Battle Group, and even became the Chief of Staff of the division.

In terms of seniority, he should be called “old leader.”

“Governor Feng is exhausting his efforts tirelessly, day and night, for the strategic expansion movement.”

With a unchanged expression, the Tai Monarch creatively modified Feng Wuyong’s immersion in the national war on the Grand Cosmos Server.

“Mo Commander comes to Heng Province New Star, willingly takes on the defense duties, both emotionally and logically, Lord Governor should personally meet, yet he cannot spare the time, so he asked me to convey his regards.”

Mo Zhenting waved his hand and laughed generously:

“Zhenting was delegated by the division, simply fulfilling his duty. Besides, Heng Province is Zhenting’s hometown, contributing to one’s hometown is something Zhenting cannot ask for, hardly a toil.

It is indeed Governor Feng who is bold enough to advance full-scale strategic expansion, mobilizing and gathering immense manpower and resources for Heng Province’s development, aiming for the future, so Zhenting is impressed!”

The annual resources for the Administrative New Star are partly allocated by the Imperial Capital’s central budget, partly self-solved.
