Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?

359 The Three Lieutenant Generals

The seven or eight military vehicles behind them were moving at a constant speed, forming an oval space.

Elder Huang and a few other leaders who had traveled from the military headquarters were sitting in the middle vehicle.

Within this military vehicle, the military armory’s deputy director, Cao Jianzhong, was driving the vehicle meticulously.

Meanwhile, Elder Huang was sitting in the passenger’s seat. He kept looking out of the window as held a walkie-talkie in his hand and communicated with his subordinates on the outside from time to time.

Sitting in the back of the military vehicle were three middle-aged men of similar age.

A dozen or so military vehicles were guarding the military vehicle in the middle of the road. This chapt????r is updat????d by Noᴠel Fɪre.net

Therefore, he knew that the three people sitting in the back row were the leaders who had rushed over from the military.

The highest-ranking leader of North China’s First Military Region, Lu Yuansheng, was sitting in the middle of the back in a casual gray suit.

The middle-aged man sitting by the window on the right was the division commander of the Third Military Region, Shen Hongyuan.

The last person sitting on the left was the Eastern Region’s armament commissioner, Zhuang Zhe.

The three of them were all lieutenant generals. There was no difference in their positions, but their positions were different.

Lu Yuansheng and Shen Hongyuan were both mid-stage seven-star cultivators.

At the same time, they were also the highest-ranking leader in their respective North China military regions.

On the other hand, Zhuang Zhe was a master blacksmith in the middle stage of the seven-star rank. Not only did he serve as a commissioner in the Eastern Grand Station District, but he also had many disciples and had taken root in many institutions.

The three of them were not only famous but also loved by countless soldiers.

The fact that the White River province was able to remain intact despite the countless attacks from the beasts was due to the three of them.

“Elder Huang, if we rush to the military armory today, will it have a negative impact on the test this afternoon?”

Zhuang Zhe looked out of the window at the military vehicles that were clearing the way, as well as the other drivers, who were constantly peeking in their direction. He seemed a little worried.

“Lord Zhuang Zhe, you can just call me Zhihai. It’s an honor for me and everyone in the armory to have the three of you with us today.

“So, you can rest assured that I’ve arranged everything for you. You just need to take a short break at the armory, and everything will be carried out as scheduled at two in the afternoon.”

Huang Zhihai could not afford to be addressed as Elder Huang by the military affairs commissioner, Zhuang Zhe, so he immediately explained.

“Well, whether it’s in terms of seniority or contribution, it’s only right for us younger ones to address you as Elder Huang.

“Back then, if you hadn’t had the foresight to set up an armory in the capital, I’m afraid, our eastern war zone wouldn’t have enjoyed such perfect support and assistance.” Zhuang Zhe smiled and said with a sincere expression.

Hearing this, Elder Huang appeared quite helpless, and he said in an embarrassed tone, “Now, now, let’s not talk about the past. Compared to your contributions to the field of forging, what I’ve done is simply insignificant. I’m just an old man.”

Lu Yuansheng, who was sitting in the middle of the vehicle’s back seat, shook his head and contradicted Elder Huang’s statement. “Elder Huang, what are you saying? You’ve been in charge of the military armory since it was built. Not only have you led the research and development of countless modern forging equipment, but you’ve also provided the military and the surrounding large organizations with plenty of talented blacksmiths.

“How can we not mention these contributions?”

Zhuang Zhe nodded in agreement. “That’s right, Elder Huang. Don’t belittle yourself. Everyone’s hoping for the White River province to grow and prosper. There’s no difference in contribution!”

“What they’ve said is completely reasonable. Elder Huang, you don’t have to be so modest.”

Shen Hongyuan patted him on the sleeves and chuckled.

“That’s wonderful to hear. I’ll do as you say then.”

Elder Huang was a little excited. He had seen the lieutenant generals sitting in the back row a few years ago during a meeting.

He had even met the armament commissioner, Zhuang Zhe, a few times.

However, it was the first time that the three lieutenant generals were visiting the armory for an observation.

He also knew in his heart that the three leaders were mainly visiting for Wu Mo’s Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.

Nevertheless, if he could let the leaders look around for a moment, the armory that he had spent half his life building would make them proud.

After all, even in the entire White River province, there were only a dozen or so leaders with the rank of lieutenant general.

Moreover, each of them was a big presence in their own area. They were either the highest leaders in their Military Region or the core figures in the war zone.

Most of the people at this level had the responsibility to guard a region.

Forget ordinary people, even some local officials would not get to see them in their entire lifetime.

However, at this moment, three lieutenant generals were sitting in the same military vehicle with him.

It was impossible to see such a line up of many important officials anywhere but in White River’s annual Military Department meeting.

Therefore, under such circumstances, how could Elder Huang cling to his status in the armory?

Although he was already over 70 years old and had no interest in being promoted to nobility, he still had to show some respect to a lieutenant general.

On the way to the armory, the three lieutenants chatted with each other and gained a general understanding of the armory’s situation in the past few years.

However, in between words, they revealed their concern for Wu Mo and their expectations for the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear from time to time.

Elder Huang was not offended by this. In fact, he proudly explained Wu Mo’s situation and research results in the past few months.

The three lieutenants listened with great interest. If it were not for the current circumstances, they would have taken out a pen and paper to write down key information.

‘As expected of the young man I thought highly of at the exhibition. It’s only been a few months, yet he’s already developed such outstanding equipment.’

Lu Yuansheng listened to Elder Huang’s story with a smile and simultaneously praised Wu Mo in his heart.

However, Shen Hongyuan felt differently from Lu Yuansheng, who was sitting in the middle and listening happily.

The division commander of North China’s Third Military Region, who was sitting by the window on the right, was regretful.

As early as half a year ago, Wu Mo had brought the newly developed Invisibility Armor and watched the red and blue team match in the Third Military Region.

At that time, he was not in the command room at all because he had other important tasks to do.

He also missed the best time to get to know Wu Mo.

...

Battalion Commander Yang Ming, who participated in the exercise, saw Wu Mo’s great potential back then. He even asked Wu Mo to stay in the military region for a while to meet the division commander.

Unfortunately, Wu Mo did not stay in their military region for long. After the match between the red team and blue team was over, he left in a car.

Also, it had only been four months ago that Wu Mo developed the extremely powerful Spirit Wave Sword. His reputation resounded throughout the White River province for quite some time as a result.
