Lin Yi had chosen to convey his proposal through Nie Chang after careful consideration.
With his current status, he could have gone directly through Ren Yinuo to put the idea to Li Zhenguo. He had the authority and the means to do so.
But that wasn't how this sort of thing should be handled.
A proposal concerning the allocation of major resources and adjustments to strategic direction was better put forward by frontline commander Nie Chang as part of his battle report.
That would give Supreme Command ample room to discuss and weigh the proposal, while leaving room for compromise. It was also a silent test.
Lin Yi wanted to see just how strong the understanding and support they had reached last time really were, and how far the higher-ups would go in accepting his clearly expansionist proposal.
The answer would affect the arrangements and pace of all his subsequent plans.
"Heh." Lin Yi gave a faint, self-deprecating laugh to himself. "What does that make me? Sharp Edge, but now with a touch of smoothness, too? I want to be radical, but I can't quite commit. Honestly..."
Nie Chang naturally agreed with Lin Yi's suggestion without the slightest objection.
He was a frontline commander himself, and had witnessed Lin Yi's inhuman strength with his own eyes. He knew all too well how valuable Source Warriors were on the battlefield.
Nie Chang nodded firmly. "Understood! I'll report it to Supreme Command exactly as you said."
He immediately turned and returned to the command vehicle, ordering the communications officer to connect to the encrypted line with Supreme Command in the capital.
