It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future

Chapter 1192 Base And Manpower!

All the mecha clans in Base Nebula had their own thoughts about Lingtian becoming an independent army.

As for Ling Lan, she only came out of her closed-door meditation three days after the reward was sent out.

She couldn’t appear on the day the reward was given out since that would seem too fake. She needed to give the military an out so that they could console themselves.

However, she wasn’t doing nothing while doing closed-door meditation. She made many calls with her father discussing the new location of their new base camp. After some back and forth, she and her father finally decided on Base Nebula to be Lingtian Independent Army’s new base camp.

Ling Lan had set her eyes on this movable base that was well-equipped with weapons and had all the high-tech facilities from the Federation. She couldn’t imagine being in those stationed bases as just imagining her being there gave her the chills. The battle at Base 013 on Planet Haijiao had traumatized her.

Ling Lan liked the flexibility of a movable base. In the past, she wasn’t aware of the existence of a moveable base such as Base Nebula, so she never thought about wanting a movable base. However, now that she knew of its existence and she was already in the base, it was hard for her to not want it.

Moreover, she wasn’t planning on chasing away the three first-rank five-star mecha clans the three great marshals sent over. They were extra manpower for her to increase the fighting strength of the base. She would be stupid to give them back.

Ling Xiao was astounded by Ling Lan’s plan. He was shocked at her greediness but when he thought about it carefully, it was workable.

Of course, Ling Xiao never planned to reject her request anyway. She was his daughter. He would fulfill all the requests she had. Moreover, this request wasn’t too hard for him to fulfill. action

“I still need to remind you that these three mecha clans don’t belong to you. Even if they are stationed at Base Nebula, they might not submit to you.” Ling Xiao reminded Ling Lan that the three mecha clans were not easy to subdue.

“They just need to be loyal to their country.” Ling Lan didn’t care about their allegiance. She wasn’t planning to make Lingtian her personal army anyway. The Lingtian Independent Army would be going to the battlefield one day, and there were no factions on the battlefield. On the battlefield, everyone only had one identity, a soldier of the Federation.

Ling Xiao gave her a look of approval. This was how a regiment commander should think.

We would not talk about how Ling Xiao helped Ling Lan to gain more benefits from the military headquarters. All in all, many meetings were held and many factions participated in the discussion. Some wanted to suppress Lingtian while others wanted to help it. Some wanted to send spies in while others wanted to split Lingtian’s power. It was an intense struggle. A conclusion was formed only half a month later.

That day, the military headquarters sent a new order to Base Nebula.

The Lingtian Independent Army would temporarily be stationed at Base Nebula. The commanding officer of Base Nebula should cooperate with Lingtian Independent Army to increase its manpower. The Lingtian Independent Army could replenish its manpower from Base Nebula. Jade Cloud Ace Mecha Clan, Fantasy City Ace Mecha Clan, and Nine Alliance Ace Mecha Clan would merge into the Lingtian Independent Army.

The entire base was in an uproar.

“Does that mean that we are going to be part of the Lingtian Independent Army?” Many regiment commanders who had their clans stationed in Base Nebula were excited when they saw this order.

“Also, Jade Cloud Ace Mecha Clan, Fantasy City Ace Mecha Clan, and Nine Alliance Ace Mecha Clan are going to merge into the Lingtian Independent Army. Are they trying to create a legendary independent army?”

When would a new independent army be able to get manpower from powerful ace mecha clans? Moreover, competent soldiers were usually from first-rank five-star mecha clans. These mecha clans could become legendary mecha clans if they worked a little harder, entering the Hall of Honour. No clan in their right mind would agree to give their soldiers away without a sky-high price.

Normally, if a new independent army was able to get manpower from one or two normal mecha clans, it was already considered very lucky.

After soldiers of the base heard the order, they cemented the idea that the Lingtian Independent Army was doted on by the heavens.

At that moment, the regiment commanders of the three said ace mecha clans had received this piece of news too. They quickly gathered together to discuss this issue.

“What do you think?” Wang Shao frowned. A few days ago, his chief told him that their mecha clans might need to remain in Base Nebula for some time. He thought that they would just stay here and guard the base but instead, they were merging with the Lingtian Independent Army.

What were their superiors thinking? Did they send them in so that the Lingtian Independent Army wouldn’t become Ling Xiao’s ultimate weapon?

“What can we think? It’s clearly stated that we’re supposed to merge with Lingtian.” Qin Youqi was frustrated. He felt irritated when he imagined that he had to listen to a 24-year-old young brat.

“We can only wait and see. Ultimately, we’re still in the Federation. It doesn’t matter where we go.” Zhang Haoxun was extremely calm.

“But it’s a newly formed independent army. I’ll be embarrassed if I see my old colleagues.” Qin Youqi was furious. An independent army was considered as a quasi-division. However, its status and benefits couldn’t be compared to an official division.

They used to belong to the 1st division, 2nd division, and 3rd division and they were the highest-rank mecha clan in their division. The difference in treatment was just too stark. This was why Qin Youqi couldn’t accept the order.

“I don’t think so.” Zhang Haoxun had a different perspective. “We might be embarrassed if we merge with any other independent army but the Lingtian Independent Army... don’t you think that it is a legend?”

Qin Youqi and Wang Shao went into deep thought. They had been in such high-caliber position for a long time so they weren’t stupid enough to be reckless in their decisions.

“Indeed. They’re a legend.” Wang Shao agreed with Zhang Haoxun after looking back at Lingtian’s history. Qin Youqi just scoffed in response, but he agreed in his mind.

“If Lingtian didn’t exist and someone tells me that an independent mecha clan can become an independent army in one year. I will just think he is crazy.” Zhang Haoxun had a sharp tongue.

“Indeed. I’ll be unconvinced too,” Wang Shao replied.

“But the truth is laid out right before us.” Zhang Haoxun sighed. “Lingtian managed to do it. They even did it solely based on their merits. No one could say anything to bring them down.”
