Lin Fan's Adjutant

In the office, Lin Fan felt a bit uneasy under Liang Xingchen's gaze.

"Commander, please don't look at me like that!"

"You kid, stop pretending. I understand everyone has their secrets, but what is humanity facing right now? Given your family background, you should already know. Even if you're hiding your abilities, you need to pick the right time!"

"Uh, alright, Commander, I accept! I'll make good use of this base. Speaking of which, I've had some great inspiration recently, and there should be good news soon."

"That's more like it. I won't pry into your secrets, but don't hide your capabilities at crucial moments, understand?"

"Yes, Commander!"

"Knock, knock... knock."

"Come in!"

"Reporting, Liang Xue is here as ordered!"

Just as Lin Fan and Liang Xingchen finished a conversation that ordinary people wouldn't understand at all, Liang Xue, whom he had asked his adjutant to notify earlier, arrived.

Lin Fan took a brief look at the newcomer. She was in her early twenties and was a beauty no less stunning than Emma.

Then he looked at her shoulders; she clearly had the rank of Major. Aside from himself, who could cheat, becoming a Major right after turning twenty was enough to show how extraordinary she was.

It was just that she was too cold. Although Lin Fan liked the ice-queen type, this one was definitely too cold.

Lin Fan even felt that the temperature in the room had dropped a few degrees since Liang Xue entered, and that wasn't an exaggeration at all.

"Ahem... Lin Fan, let me introduce you. This is Major Liang Xue. She will be your adjutant from now on. You two need to cooperate well, understand?"

Seeing Lin Fan frown after observing Liang Xue for a while, Liang Xingchen guessed what Lin Fan was thinking with about 70-80% accuracy.

Sigh, my daughter, when will you start to warm up? Liang Xingchen looked at his daughter with a helpless expression.

"Yes, Commander!"

What else could Lin Fan say? Judging by Liang Xingchen's expression, this was most likely his daughter.

Sigh, having such a cold daughter, it must not be easy for the Commander.

"Good. The 101st Task Force Fleet is yours. Don't disappoint me!"

"Yes, Commander!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing Mission 1: Become a true fleet commander, commanding at least ten warships. Reward: Warp Engine Technology."

"Ding, due to the host exceeding the mission requirements, the hidden reward is activated. Reward: Industrial Robot Technology."

There's a hidden reward? This is the first time I've seen this. Lin Fan felt delighted. Now he had a fleet, a base capable of building warships, and he was rewarded with Industrial Robot Technology and Warp Engine Technology. It was simply perfect.

No, it's still a bit short of perfect. It would be even better if there were some research experts. After all, I can't change careers to do research. I don't have the time.

"Reporting!"

"Speak!"

"Commander, could you assign some experts to my base? I don't want to become a full-time researcher."

"I've already arranged it for you. They are waiting for you at the base."

"Thank you, Commander!"

"Alright, you two, take your transfer orders and hurry up!"

Liang Xingchen waved his hand. Lin Fan saluted and exited the office, with Liang Xue following closely.

The journey was rather silent. Lin Fan, unable to bear it any longer, spoke first.

"Deputy Liang, we'll be cooperating for a long time. Can you tell me what you specialize in?"

"Everything."

"Uh, let me rephrase. What are you particularly good at?"

"Everything."

"...Alright, then can you lead the way? I'm not familiar with this place!"

As soon as Lin Fan finished speaking, Liang Xue quickly took two steps forward and walked ahead of Lin Fan.

Without saying a word, she just walked forward.

"...#"

Sister, can you not be like this? This is too much.

Lin Fan looked helplessly at Liang Xue's retreating back. It seemed that changing her personality would be much more difficult than Emma's.

Watching Liang Xue, who had already walked ten meters ahead and didn't even look back, Lin Fan had no choice but to quickly catch up.

Half an hour later, led by Liang Xue, they took a transport craft at the port and arrived at the 101st Task Force Fleet's station, Orbital Starport No. 27.

Throughout the entire process, Liang Xue hadn't said a word, nor had her expression changed even slightly, which almost drove Lin Fan crazy.

He could only complain in his heart: Having a super beautiful adjutant should have been an enjoyment, but it turned out to be an extreme form of torture.

Shaking his head, Lin Fan collected himself. After all, he had arrived at his destination. As the newly appointed fleet commander, he had to give a speech to all the officers and soldiers immediately. He couldn't mess this up, or it would be difficult to proceed later.

After getting off the transport craft, Lin Fan looked at the 144 warships docked in the starport with satisfaction. Perfect!

No, there's still something missing. If the personality of the person next to me could be changed, then it would be truly perfect!

"Adjutant Liang, order all personnel in the fleet to assemble within the starport."

"Yes!"

After Liang Xue replied, she raised her right hand, tapped a few times on her personal datapad, and then spoke.

"Attention all personnel, assemble in the starport immediately. I repeat, all personnel assemble in the starport immediately!"

Liang Xue's voice quickly echoed through every corner of the base. Lin Fan nodded, raised his right hand, and operated his datapad to start the timer.

According to the minimum requirement, the time for all personnel to assemble should not be less than 10 minutes after the assembly order is given.

Don't think 10 minutes is slow. This is a medium-sized starport, and it takes at least half an hour to run from one end to the other.

Fortunately, the crew's quarters are located close to the starport, otherwise, assembly would be impossible within half an hour.

One minute later, all personnel who were already in the starport had assembled.

Five minutes later, a large number of personnel ran into the starport from the inner areas.

Seven minutes later, Liang Xue spoke.

"Report, 101st Task Force Fleet, all personnel have assembled. Present: 32,900, accounted for: 32,900."

Wow, Lin Fan looked at Liang Xue with slight shock. This girl is amazing. Tens of thousands of people, how did she count them all? She's got something going on.

After seeing everyone assembled, Lin Fan stepped forward, adjusted the datapad in his right hand to the amplification function, and began his inaugural speech.

"Fellow colleagues, my name is Lin Fan, I am 19 years old, and I am the new commander of the 101st Task Force Fleet."

The first sentence Lin Fan spoke made the officers and soldiers below find it difficult to accept.

19 years old? A Colonel? A new fleet commander?

Is this a joke? Is he some young master from a powerful family sent here for a gilded experience?

What is the situation on the front lines now, and they're still doing this? Isn't this messing around!

In fact, it's not their fault for imagining things. It's just that a 19-year-old Colonel is too abnormal, and a 19-year-old task force fleet commander is even more abnormal.

Normally, a fleet of this scale would have a Major General as its commander.

For a moment, everyone looked at Lin Fan with unfriendly eyes.
