At the same time, Helu City outside Qianli, and on the ruins of No. 4 Abyss Beast Nest.
The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the land that had just experienced the baptism of war a golden red color.
Lin Yi stood next to the ruins of the lair, watching the logistics team busy cleaning the site and setting up a temporary podium, and was thinking about the speech for the graduation ceremony later.
At this time, after General Nie Chang finished processing the initial victory report, he walked quickly to his side, with a complex expression on his face that was mixed with excitement and solemnity.
"Chief Instructor Lin," Nie Chang's voice was slightly lowered, but his tone was extremely serious, "I just received the Supreme Command emergency resolution from the chief of staff General Staff."
Lin Yi turned his head and looked at Nie Chang: "Oh? What resolution?"
He thought that the result of the proposed expansion of Training Camp came out, and he thought that the efficiency of Supreme Command Center was quite high.
Nie Chang took a deep breath, "Supreme Command After studying at the meeting, we fully adopted and expanded your suggestions."
Lin Yi nodded slightly at first, then raised his eyebrows, "Expand?"
He was not surprised by the decision to agree, but what did expansion mean?
Nie Chang nodded, "Yes, expand."
"Supreme Command decided to formally establish "East Peak Source Martial Military Academy", referred to as "East Peak Military Academy", and the former Training Camp students will automatically be converted into the first batch of students. The three source energy concentrators seized this time will all be deployed in the college."
"And."
Nie Chang continued, with an emphasis on tone, "The command headquarters decided to form a new independent military branch, "Source Martial Strategic Defense Army", referred to as "Source Martial Army", which will be positioned as a national strategic force."
"At the same time."
Nie Chang looked at Lin Yi and announced very formally, "Supreme Command has made a unanimous decision after careful study to appoint you, Comrade Lin Yi, as the first Principal of the East Peak Source Martial Military Academy, and at the same time, as the first commander of the Source Martial Strategic Defense Army."
".?"
Lin Yi was a little dazed for a moment.
The news was completely unexpected.
He blinked, with a rare look of astonishment on his face.
There seems to be a big difference between this and his proposal.
Lin Yi didn't bother to cover his head and think about it, and asked directly, "East Peak Military Academy? Source Martial Army? Old Nie, what happened?"
Hearing this, Nie Chang showed an embarrassed smile on his face. He explained, "Actually, General Staff has already considered such a thing, but these two recent battles have made General Staff more determined, so."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "So. Chief Zhou Donglai General Staff said at the meeting that he thought you only proposed the idea of expanding Training Camp. Well, it is still a little conservative and not particularly able to meet the needs of the new situation."
"Me?. Conservative?"
Lin Yi smacked the word, feeling quite complicated for a moment.
He, a person who plans to carry the entire planet forward, will one day be evaluated as "conservative"?
This is true.
Okay, a bit indeed.
Lin Yi laughed and said, "Compared with you General Staff, I am indeed a bit conservative."
Then, he shook his head with emotion, then looked at Nie Chang, and his tone became serious.
"Old Nie, what about you?"
Because the recent cooperation has been very pleasant, Nie Chang's commanding ability and pragmatic style left a good impression on Lin Yi.
Now that Training Camp has been upgraded to a military academy and a new branch of the military has been established, he is very concerned about the whereabouts of his partner.
Nie Chang smiled and replied, "Qiying and I, as well as several other comrades, have been officially transferred to the Source Martial Army sequence. As the deputy commander of the Source Martial Army, and the executive deputy Principal of the East Peak Military Academy, I am mainly responsible for assisting you in the specific work of establishing the army and the school."
"Qiying, on the other hand, serves as the chief of staff of the Source Martial Army and the office director of the military academy, handling daily military and school affairs."
After finishing speaking, Nie Chang thought for a moment and added, "However, these appointments of ours are temporary. General Staff's meaning is very clear. After the military academy and the new army gradually get on the right track, General Staff will seek your opinion again on whether the personnel in the relevant positions will eventually stay or not."
Lin Yi nodded.
He was quite satisfied with this arrangement.
With the help of familiar people like Nie Chang and Liu Qiying, you can save a lot of worry.
So Lin Yi smiled and said to Nie Chang, "Okay. Old Nie, it seems that you have to stay in the camp during this period and take good care of yourself."
"You can put aside the other things at hand first. The most important task is to get started with source energy. As the deputy commander of the Source Martial Army and the deputy commander of the military academy Principal, it is not convenient if you don't have source energy yourself."
Nie Chang laughed when he heard this and nodded vigorously, "What a coincidence, I thought so too."
"It seems that the next step is to work hard for Qiying and let him take on more military chores. I have to concentrate on catching up with the students as soon as possible."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
At this moment, Liu Qiying, who didn't know that he had been silently "added to the burden", trotted over and saluted Lin Yi and Nie Chang: "Chief instructor, Commander Nie! The venue for the graduation ceremony has been arranged, and the students have finished resting and are gathering! Please give instructions!"
This is business. Lin Yi and Nie Chang looked at each other and stopped smiling.
"Let's go." Lin Yi said to Nie Chang, "Let's hold a graduation ceremony for our first batch of students first."
--
The logistics force was extremely efficient and had quickly cleared a relatively flat area and set up a simple temporary podium.
Rows of tables and chairs were neatly arranged. Although simple, they exuded a sense of solemnity.
Although the temporary podium was simple, it became the focus of everyone's attention at this moment.
Under the stage, more than 800 Eastern Edge first-term trainees lined up neatly. Their combat uniforms had been slightly taken care of. Although the damage could not be repaired for the time being, the dust had been dusted off and the wrinkles had been smoothed.
Although many of them still have tired faces, they still stand tall and straight, with bright eyes, patiently waiting for the moment that gives them new life.
Lin Yi walked up to the podium slowly, his eyes scanning every resolute face in the audience.
He did not use amplification equipment, but his clear and peaceful voice seemed to ring directly in everyone's ears.
"Students."
With these three simple words, the queue that was still slightly commotion completely quieted down in an instant, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.
"This was originally the lair where Abyssal Beast resided. It was a place of death and destruction."
Lin Yi's voice was not loud, but it carried a quiet power, "But today, because of your courage, sweat, and even blood, this place has become a place to witness your glory."
"I once said that the most meaningful graduation ceremony should be held on the ruins of Abyss Nest that you laid down with your own hands."
"Now, you did it!"
In the audience, the students' chests involuntarily rose higher, and a sense of pride arose spontaneously.
"With today's battle, you have proved that you are no longer chicks in need of shelter, but warriors who can fight the wind and waves and protect their homeland."
"You are the first batch of students of Eastern Edge. This name will be remembered forever because of your achievements today."
Lin Yi paused for a moment, his gaze became deeper.
"However, graduation does not mean the end."
"It is just the beginning, the starting point for you to truly embark on this path of becoming a strong person full of challenges and responsibilities."
"The road ahead will be longer, the enemies will be stronger, and there are still many, many things you need to learn."
