That night, Senhai First Mechanized Infantry Regiment's eldest brother Meng Liangao held a banquet at Wantai Hotel of Yinsen Underground City to welcome Wang Chen.
As the last stronghold of the empire on Senhai Star, Yinsen Base is divided into two parts: the surface and the underground. The upper part is a military base, while the lower part is a city that accommodates hundreds of thousands of people.
The first impression this Underground City gives to Wang Chen is that it is ancient.
It's not that it has a very long history, but it seems like this city traveled hundreds of years ago to the present, or that it hasn't been updated for hundreds of years since it was built.
The various buildings, public facilities, including transportation, etc. inside, Wang Chen have only seen in historical documentaries.
For example, Mercedes-Benz all the cars on the street are fuel-powered!
And the most luxurious hotel where Meng Liangao hosted a banquet for him gave Wang Chen the illusion of dreaming back to Previous Life.
Not a trace of the empire's high-tech technology can be seen here.
"Just get used to it."
Meng Liangao was obviously worried that Wang Chen wouldn't adapt, and comforted him, "When I first came here, I felt like I was exiled to a Savage Wilderness planet. It took me a long time to barely adapt."
The reason why Yinsen Base appears is entirely because Geomagnetic Storm and Energy Tide interfere and invade high-tech products too much.
In fact, this Underground City city was built less than a hundred years ago. Although a variety of defense and shielding measures have been deployed, it cannot completely resist the influence from the outside world.
Those valuable technology products are often scrapped within a few weeks. No one can bear such losses for a long time.
That's why Yinsen Underground City's stuff looks so old - simple and durable!
Although the situation at the surface base is better, it is not much better. Large equipment such as transport spacecraft are usually stationed in the space station in synchronous orbit, and will only land on the planet when Safe Window appears.
This also resulted in people on Senhai Star being unable to access and use Star Net. It became an isolated existence among the hundreds of Life Planet in the empire. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was sent here to be exiled.
The officers of the Mech Infantry Regiment sitting at the same table all showed empathetic expressions.
Wang Chen nodded. "It's okay, I can get used to it."
Senhai Star fell behind and returned, but for him, he can still live freely even on the real Savage Wilderness planet, so why would he care!
The most important thing is that the task period given by Seventh Rapid Response Fleet to Wang Chen is very short. No matter whether it is completed or not, he will return to TK043 Space Fortress.
"That's good."
Meng Liangao said with a smile, "Come on, drink, this is Jade Fruit Wine unique to Senhai Star!"
The mechanized infantryman Regiment Commander served Wang Chen tonight with a green-colored drink that smelled fruity and had an excellent taste in the mouth, making people feel refreshed.
Wang Chen drank a toast and nodded involuntarily. "Good wine."
"Drink more if you like!"
Meng Liangao's smile had a hint of ambiguity, "Let's have a good drink first, there will be a show later."
Wang Chen played with the empty cup in his hand, smiled and did not answer.
Although this Jade Fruit Wine is not a technological product, it does have a weak hallucinogenic effect, but it is masked by its unique taste and cannot be distinguished by ordinary people.
Then the more I drank, the more excited I became.
The more you drink, the more you get drunk!
Are you so eager to get yourself into the water?
Wang Chen You can use your toes to figure out what the next show is, it's nothing more than sensual and sexy stuff.
But when he first arrived, he didn't know what was going on. Anyway, it was just a glass of wine to dry up. He drank with Meng Liangao and other officers of the mechanized infantry regiment, and drank very happily.
After killing more than a dozen bottles of Jade Fruit Wine, Meng Liangao and several officers were all red-faced, their eyes were wandering, their words were a bit tongue-tied, and they were at least six to seven points drunk.
But Wang Chen, who drank the most, sat still without changing his expression, and his eyes became brighter.
"Staff Officer Wang has such a good drinking capacity!"
Meng Liangao realized that it was impossible to get Wang Chen drunk, so he sighed, "I can't bear it anymore. Let's just stop here tonight. What's our next show?"
There was a hint of solemnity in his tone.
Wang Chen said happily, "Okay."
This Wantai Hotel not only has restaurants, but also large casinos and nightclubs, with everything you need to eat, drink, and have fun.
Under the warm hospitality of Meng Liangao, after Wang Chen had enough to eat and drink, he went to the casino to play and won hundreds of thousands Star Yuan, and then went to a nightclub to spend all his money.
As the highest military administrator of Yinsen Base, Meng Liangao is just like the Supreme Emperor of this Underground City. He entertains Wang Chen with the best wine and the most beautiful women, and he doesn't pay even half of his own money!
Wang Chen did not refuse the other party's hospitality, but in the end he did not take the girl to stay in the hotel.
The first day he came to Senhai Star was a very fulfilling one.
The next day, Wang Chen saw his men in the surface base.
He came here as Senhai First Mechanized Infantry Regiment staff officer and Provost Marshal.
Although the former is the main duty, this army ranks very low in the Imperial Army, belonging to the local garrison of the third and fourth lines. In addition, Senhai Star is far away from the front line, so the staff officer is basically a decoration.
Even if Meng Liangao suddenly died and the deputy regiment and sergeant major took over, it would not be Wang Chen's turn to take advantage of the situation.
On the contrary, Provost Marshal is a real job.
Senhai First Mechanized Infantry Regiment's gendarmerie has a strength of 100 people, but only 74 people actually reported to Wang Chen, including civilian personnel.
The other 26 people died or were injured in the previous civil strife, and the vacancies have not been filled yet.
As for Wang Chen, the young captain who landed by air, the military police sergeants did not show much welcome or respect. Most of them had doubts and vigilance in their eyes, as if the former was not a superior but an opponent.
This situation is obviously very abnormal.
Wang Chen didn't pay attention to this, and he didn't do anything to establish his authority. He just said a few words and asked everyone to go back to their places and do their own things.
In the next few days, Wang Chen was not in a hurry to investigate Rebel Forces hidden on Senhai Star. He gradually became familiar with his job and gradually understood and mastered the internal situation of Senhai First Mechanized Infantry Regiment.
The soldiers and officers of Senhai First Mechanized Infantry Regiment also gradually got to know the new major staff officer.
It's just that apart from the superficial etiquette, they don't have much respect for Wang Chen. Some people hide their contempt and hostility in their hearts, and then keep a tacit understanding of keeping a distance from Wang Chen.
It smells like keeping a distance.
As a result, after half a month, Wang Chen had not successfully integrated into the army, but was instead vaguely excluded and isolated.
