Battalion Commander Li understood his subordinates. They did not dare to boast recklessly in the division. Since the AI class said that it was possible, then they would definitely be able to obtain the system within three days.

“Based on your judgment, how many mecha can we hand in before the deadline of the mission?”

It was very obvious that Battalion Commander Li had been deeply attracted by Rayen’s plan. Indeed, he had not thought of the idea of producing mecha. The main reason was that the habitual execution of the division’s orders had limited his imagination.

However, Rayen, who was quick-witted, did not have such considerations. He boldly revealed his own plan of breaking through.

Now, Battalion Commander Li looked at Rayen, eager to know the answer to his question.

Rayen had thought about this question, but his rank did not have the authority to inspect the warehouse. He spread out his hands and said, “I’m sorry, sir. As a private, I don’t know the situation of the warehouse’s stock.”

Battalion Commander Li seemed to have come to a sudden realization. Without turning his head, he shouted, “Warehouse Squad Leader!”

“Here!” A corporal replied and immediately handed a document to his commander.

However, Battalion Commander Li did not even look at it. Instead, he took the opportunity to pass it to Rayen. “Look, this is approved by me. Calculate how many mechs you can produce with the current stock.”

Rayen looked at the amount of various materials and immediately used the military calculator to start calculating.

All the attention of the foundry officers and soldiers were also focused on Rayen.

At this moment, they felt that this weapons dealer was quite reliable.

After a while, Rayen exhaled and said, “Sir, I have also calculated the production cycle. Our entire battalion only needs to work with the machines for 12 hours a day and sacrifice some parts of the armored vehicles. Then, we can produce 15,000 sets before the appointed date of the division.”

This time, Battalion Commander Li was truly shocked. He stood up from his chair and said, “15,000 units?!”

Although this number could not arm the entire corps, it was already shocking enough.

The Comapany Commander beside him seemed to be good at calculating as well. After calculating Rayen’s results again, he looked at his own commander and nodded, “No problem, sir!”

Seeing that this plan was really feasible, Battalion Commander Li’s face finally revealed a smile.

“Very good! This is a pretty good idea!” After Battalion Commander Li finished speaking, he took the blueprints and immediately ran out of the door, however, after running for a few steps, he realized that he had forgotten something. He immediately turned his head and said, “All units, stand by! I must report this plan to the Regiment Commander! We can only start work when we have his orders. All of you, get ready. Go back and rest now!”

“Yes, sir!!!” Everyone shouted in unison.

After that, all the soldiers gathered around the operating table and looked at the simple mecha on the blueprints. Their eyes lit up.

“This is indeed very cool. It would be even better if it was painted with silver paint!”

“I even want to wear this thing on the battlefield. It’s so cool!”

“Rayen, how did you think of this? Mecha, what a creative idea!”

“But our Vulture Corps has never made such a thing before, so can it really work?”

Sergeant Nick’s eyes were filled with jealousy, and he said in annoyance, “Damn it, why didn’t I think of this plan? Isn’t it just to use a shell similar to an armored vehicle and modify it again?!”

“Come on, your understanding of armored vehicles is the worst,” Steven teased the other party. Then, he turned to look at Rayen and asked, “Kid, was your head blessed by an ancient god or kissed by a demon? How enviable! How did you come up with this plan?”

Looking at Steven who asked the question, Rayen smiled and said, “Oh, besides being a soldier, my father also likes to research dark steel and military technology. I learned it from him.”

Of course, this was a lie. Rayen was able to come up with this idea entirely because of his recent research on the armor of armored vehicles and his unique power.

Of course, he did not use Davis’ inspiration.

During this period of time, every time he touched the materials of armored vehicles, the power would give him all kinds of reassembly plans.

There were anti-aircraft batteries, machine gun positions, simple mecha, and so on.

However, too many plans caused him to be unable to react in time. Fortunately, with Davis’s reminder from last night, he was able to come up with this plan.

At this moment, Davis stepped forward and patted him, “Brother! Well done! Those veterans have all been surpassed by you!”

Rayen passed a cigarette to the other party and laughed. “It’s all thanks to you. It’s you who reminded me. You won’t be angry because I hid it from you, right?” His impression of this fatty was not bad, and they got along very well. He was really a little worried that the other party would be angry.

“Please!” A very exaggerated expression appeared on Davis’s face. After putting the cigarette between his ears, he said, “If your plan has been approved by the higher-ups, then I don’t need to go to the battlefield, so I’m thankful before it is too late for us. Hence, how can I blame you?!

“Moreover! Even if you told me last night, I still would not understand those complicated parameters. I can’t help you at all! Your single-mindedness is the wisest choice!”

The other recruits also surrounded Rayen and kept praising him.

Staff Sergeant Steven shouted, “Recruit Squad! Gather back to the barracks to rest and wait for the Battalion Commander’s orders!”

“Yes! Sir!”



Just as Rayen was dozing off on the bed, Battalion Commander Li Qiang had already arrived at the regiment commander’s office.

“Report!”

After a few seconds, a voice came from the office, “Come in, Major Li!”

Li Qiang felt that something was wrong with the voice. When he entered, he realized that the Corps Commander was not there. There was only the Corps Chief of Staff and the person he did not want to see the most.

He first saluted the Chief of Staff. Then, when he looked at the person, he just nodded and said, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Supervisor.”

The person called supervisor had curly hair. His skin was as soft as a woman’s. He was dressed in a blue military uniform and looked like he was going to attend a wedding.

The ruby-inlaid cane in his hand was priceless. His left chest was filled with medals, and there was even an Emperor’s Commendation that represented the highest honor of the empire.

One had to know that this kind of medal had been awarded for many meritorious deeds, and the Vulture Corps Commander who had ‘died’ countless times had never received it.

However, ironically, it was hung on the chest of a soldier who had never been on the battlefield.

The supervisor frowned and looked at Li Qiang. “Commander Li, why don’t you salute me? Is my Major General rank not worthy of your respect?”

For many years, Li Qiang could not understand why the empire would arrange such a supervisor for the Vulture Corps.

It was as if the Vulture Corps was at risk of losing control.

However, in truth, the formation had never disobeyed any orders from the Empire or the Imperial family.

Apart from tying invisible ropes to the formation that was preparing to go all out, this ‘woman’ would never contribute anything.

At this moment, a voice sounded out, “Li Qiang, don’t embarrass the formation.”

The person who spoke was the number three figure of the Vulture Corps, Chief of Staff, Fu Huanglin.

He used his bright eyes to look at Li Qiang and said again, “The supervisor is an honored guest of the Corps.”

Li Qiang knew that his Chief of Staff was also very unhappy with this supervisor. He could feel this from the atmosphere when he entered just now.

However, when he saluted the supervisor, he deliberately took a step back. This was because he could smell the disgusting perfume on him from three meters away.

“Hmph.” The supervisor ignored Li Qiang, and instead looked at Chief of Staff Huanglin with a dissatisfied gaze and said, “Chief of Staff, during the war, I was the supervisor of the Vulture Corps. This was a sacred mission given to me by His Majesty. I’m not a guest, but your superior!”

Huanglin had a baby face, so he did not look aggressive at all. Instead, he looked quite friendly. He smiled and squeezed out two dimples. After giving an exaggerated bow to the supervisor, he said, “I want to apologize to you, sir. May I ask, Earl Howard, can I listen to my subordinate’s report now?”

The supervisor, Earl Howard, looked displeased and said, “Go ahead!”

Before he could finish, Huanglin had already asked Li Qiang, “The Corps Commander is in the 1st Battalion. If you have anything to tell him, just tell me!”

“Yes!” Li Qiang saluted once again and handed over the blueprint that Rayen had drawn.

Huanglin thought that this was the latest design proposal for the pistol, so he immediately took it.

When he saw the contents on it, he frowned and asked, “Didn’t we ask the Foundry Battalion to develop pistols for close combat? This doesn’t look like it…”

Li Qiang nodded and immediately recounted what Rayen had said in the factory.

The Chief of Staff was not as surprised as Li Qiang had imagined. He looked at the blueprint with interest.

This man had always been like this. Even if the rocks on the mountain were about to hit him, he would still be unusually calm and make the best choice.

Beside him, Howard also seemed to be quite interested. “Oh! This looks really good, just like the armor in the movies. Unfortunately, it’s a little crude and is still far from being a work of art. We hope that you can create a weapon that is more in line with the style of the Empire!”

Huanglin gave him a sideways glance, as if he was very concerned about this man pointing fingers at the affairs of the Corps.

“Mr. Major General, it seems that our weapons are not under your control.”

However, Howard still snorted coldly. “Brigadier General! Please take note of your identity and military rank. I am responsible for the matters of the corps. This is the sacred mission given to me by His Majesty…”

The same words made a trace of anger flash across Huanglin’s face, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Huanglin chose to ignore him and walked toward the wine cabinet.

After pouring a small glass of wine for Li Qiang, his expression became amicable. “Actually, it’s not that the Corps Commander hasn’t considered this kind of weapon, but we really don’t have your expertise in making weapons. We think that this is impossible to complete in a short period of time, and you didn’t mention it, so we didn’t continue to think in this direction.

“However, now that you can give such a plan, I’m very gratified!” Then, he patted Li Qiang’s shoulder and praised, “As expected, you’re our weapons expert! If you say it’s possible, then it’s definitely possible! I approve it! Don’t worry, I have the power to do so!”

Receiving the praise of the Chief of Staff made Li Qiang feel a little flattered. He smiled and replied, “Yes… This is my honor!” Then, his face was a little red, and his voice lowered a little as he said, “Actually… This plan was not my idea…”

“Oh?” This time, Huanglin was really a little surprised. He asked curiously, “Is that Staff Sergeant Steven? Or Captain Victor? It doesn’t matter, as without your leadership, how could there be such an excellent subordinate?!”

The more Huanglin said so, the more Li Qiang wanted to find a hole to hide in. In the end, he smiled bitterly and shrugged. “You may not believe me, sir, but this is a plan made by a recruit who just joined the army two weeks ago….”
