1233 I'm Too Charismatic! (1)
In the center of the main base of the No. 29 Defense Planet, there was a hall in a metal building. Martial warriors who were at least major generals were gathered there in their uniforms.
They were of various ages, including males and females. All of them were calm without any emotion on their faces.
These people were the important figures of the No. 29 Defense Planet.
"Everyone!"
A voice was suddenly heard from the main seat. General Cameron was seated there as his gaze swept around indifferently.
Everyone's attention was on him.
"The dark apparitions' invasion came very suddenly. Although we were prepared for it, the result is still… not optimistic." General Cameron paused a little before continuing, "The 9th, 13th, and 17th frontlines have fallen!"
The listeners' expressions underwent a huge change.
After getting the status of each frontline, the results were made known to General Cameron firsthand. But the others didn't know it yet. The shock in their hearts was indescribable when they heard such bad news.
Having three frontlines fall at once was something that had never happened since a decade ago. Was an all-out war going to break out again?
Whenever such a situation occurred, it was a premonition of an all-out war.
Everyone's expression was grave, and the atmosphere of the command hall became solemn.
"Besides that, six frontlines suffered severe damage and heavy losses." General Cameron threw another bomb at them.
They had already prepared for the worst, but they were still shocked by the news.
"What is happening?"
"Are these dark apparitions crazy?"
"Are all the frontline commanders useless? We suffered such a huge loss."
"We have to mobilize troops to recover the fallen frontlines. We cannot let the dark apparitions occupy those three areas. Otherwise, it will be a huge threat to us."
…
They couldn't sit still. They were startled and angry, and a heated discussion broke out.
Knock, knock!
General Cameron frowned and knocked on the table. Everyone slowly quietened down.
"The frontlines must be recovered, but how do we do it? Who do we send?" General Cameron asked.
"If it were up to me, I'd send the strongest squads and recover the frontlines with the force of a thunderbolt. It can also serve as a deterrent and boost everyone's morale," a middle-aged lieutenant general said.
"I agree with General Qi Yuanju. We shouldn't go easy on these dark apparitions, or they will think we are easy to bully."
"Yes, that's how it should be. Give the dark apparitions a blow!"
"Not bad, I agree too."
…
General Qi Yuanju's words were affirmed by everyone. None of these generals were cowards, and all of them were unyielding. If the dark apparitions attacked them, they would strike back.
"Alright, let's choose three squads that are the most suitable," General Cameron said.
"It goes without saying that the Red Scorpion, Tiger Strike Force, and Raging Bear squads should go," General Qi Yuanju said.
"Okay." General Cameron pondered for a moment and nodded.
"But the commander of the Tiger Strike Force is going to be promoted and the new commander has not been decided. It doesn't seem like a good time to send the Tiger Strike Force when things are changing." An elder had doubts.
"If you want to be the Tiger Strike Force's commander, you need to have a certain strength and ability. Recovering the frontlines is just the right experience." A female major general laughed.
"That's not a bad idea." The elder nodded.
"Then who do we choose as the new commander?" General Qi Yuanju asked.
"This is why I called you here today," General Cameron said. "Now, based on the recommendations, there are three suitable candidates. Take a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, a screen emerged above the long table. There were three portraits on the screen, and their detailed resumes could be seen as well.
"Wendell, he has executed 3,678 missions with a success rate of over 85%. Be it experience or reputation, he has both.
"And there's Tiger Strike Force's vice-commander Huo Qiya, who has executed 3,423 missions with a success rate of over 85%. On top of that, he cooperated well with the commander and is very familiar with the Tiger Strike Force during his time as its vice commander.
"We are not surprised by the first two candidates, but the last one…"
After everyone read all the information, they frowned as their eyes landed on the last candidate.
This was a newcomer!
Moreover, there were only three missions on his resume, with little to no detail about them!
How could such a person appear on the list of candidates for the Tiger Strike Force's commander? Was he someone who got in through the back door?
Amongst the people present, a cold light flashed in an elder's eyes when he saw Wang Teng's portrait.
This was the Parkers family representative for the No. 29 Defense Planet— Crofts, a heaven-stage martial warrior.
He was the person behind recommending Wendell for the position.
He wanted Wendell to be Tiger Strike Force's commander so that he could increase the family's influence on the No. 29 Defense Planet.
