Long Zhan smiled and raised a hand to pat Liu Yishou on the shoulder.
"Liu, don't rush."
He turned and pointed to the young man beside him.
"Here, let me introduce you."
"This is Lin Mo, the overall director of the New Hope Plan."
Long Zhan paused, his tone solemn.
"He's also the very core of the New Hope Plan."
"Our leader from now on."
Liu Yishou froze.
His eyes wide, he looked back and forth between Long Zhan and Lin Mo twice, unable to hide the surprise on his face.
Our leader?
So young?
Long Zhan continued:
"Commander Lin, this is General Liu Yishou, Great Xia's Navy Commander-in-Chief."

Liu Yishou abruptly snapped out of it.
He stood at attention, raised his right hand, and gave a regulation military salute.
"Greetings, Commander Lin!"
His voice rang out loud and clear.
Lin Mo waved a hand and stepped forward with a smile.
"No need for that, General Liu."
He held out his hand, his tone easygoing.
"I know my own abilities. I'll mainly be relying on you all from now on. I'm just holding the position in name."
"It's been a while since we last saw each other through a screen. We've finally met in person today."
Liu Yishou immediately clasped Lin Mo's hand, applying a little pressure.
The young man's palm was warm, his grip steady.
He grinned.
"Heroes really do come young!"
"If you hadn't stepped in last time and brought Eagle Country's two aircraft carriers to a halt, who knows what they would've done in the end!"
Lin Mo smiled without saying anything more.
After they released their hands, Zhao Gang also stepped forward and shook hands with Liu Yishou.
"Liu, long time no see."
Liu Yishou's eyes lit up. Clearly, the two had known each other
