Chapter 316 Conversation
"Okay, let me put things away."
After that, Liu Cheng handed the weapon he brought to the training ground to Ghost, and then followed the officer towards the regiment command room in the base.
Liu Cheng was not surprised at all that Li Ronghao would look for him.
After all, when he came out of the intensive care unit, Li Ronghao said that he would talk to him when he was free.
"Report to the regiment commander, the butcher platoon leader has been brought!"
The officer stood at attention and saluted.
Li Ronghao nodded and said:
"Okay, you go down and do your work."
Immediately, he raised his hand towards Liu Cheng and signaled:
"Sit down and talk."
Liu Cheng was not polite and sat directly opposite Li Ronghao across the desk.
After all, Li Ronghao decided to protect his own people after knowing his secret.
This undoubtedly enhanced Li Ronghao's trust in Liu Cheng's heart.
The relationship between the two is closer than before.
"Is the injury okay?" Li Ronghao asked.
Liu Cheng nodded and said:
"There's nothing wrong with my injury, but it's you, the commander of the corps, who think the injury doesn't matter, right?
After all, you are the ones fighting the samurai bugs. "
Li Ronghao smiled and said:
"I have a self-healing ability. Even if there is something wrong with my body, it can heal itself.
It's just that my supernatural energy consumption was a bit excessive, so the military doctors asked me to rest for at least half a month. "
"That's good.
By the way, Corps Commander, how is the war situation on planet ST55568 now? "
Li Ronghao knew that Liu Cheng would be more or less concerned about this, so he didn't hide it from Liu Cheng and said:
“Although the main fleet of the Corps was damaged, the Western Zhou class battleships from the elite force helped defend against alien creatures from the other two main stars.
The fleet of our Corps is on vacation almost every day, which is very relaxing.
As for the situation on the ground, with the help of elite troops, the alien creatures are more cautious than us.
I have already reported the process of this mission, including the Tyranids' intelligence.
I concealed your purification ability.
And so far, the superiors have not notified you of any disposal orders.
It seems that Zhou Zun also kept his promise and did not report your purified superpower information. "
"That's good."
Liu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had won his bet on Zhou Zun's character.
"By the way, what reward do you want for this mission?" Li Ronghao looked at Liu Cheng with interest and added:
"Forget about promoting you to company commander.
You have just been promoted to platoon leader a few months ago. If I report now that you are already a level four superpower.
I don't know how to explain it to the military. "
Liu Cheng also felt that his promotion speed was too fast, and he was worried that he was not capable enough and his virtue was not worthy of his position.
So I thought about it and said to Li Ronghao:
"Legion Commander, why don't you reward me with a Gundam Mecha?"
"Ahem!"
Li Ronghao picked up the tea cup and was about to drink some tea. After hearing Liu Cheng's words, he choked on the tea.
Li Ronghao said awkwardly:
“That butcher, you’ve been with Augustine for a long time, and your understanding of money seems a little blurry, right?
Not everyone is as rich as Augustine or your company.
All budgets of our Corps are approved and issued at all levels by the Military Department.
If you want dozens of suspended armored vehicles or a few fast attack ships, I can make the arrangements for you.
But if you want a Gundam mecha, it is indeed a bit difficult.
Did you know that for the price of a Gundam mecha, you can arm several Marine regiments? "
"Um, why is the Gundam Mecha so expensive?"
Liu Cheng looked confused.
Seeing Liu Cheng's expression, Li Ronghao knew that Liu Cheng had no idea about the price of Gundam Mecha.
So he explained:
“It’s really expensive.
Have you seen the powered exoskeleton system in Elite Force's combat model?
Each combat-type powered exoskeleton system is equivalent to several humanoid suspended armored vehicles assembled together.
I'm not just talking about the firepower being put together, but even the price being put together.
And including the later maintenance costs, the price is more expensive than simply adding up.
The powered exoskeleton system of such an expensive combat model is not considered an entry-level mecha.
It can be said that a good mecha is just several combat spaceships assembled together.
Can you understand my metaphor like this? "
Liu Cheng nodded, with a surprised expression on his face.
Da Zhuang and Ji Su initially said they would save money to buy themselves a Gundam Mecha. How much money did they plan to save?
I'm afraid those two people only know that there is such a thing as Gundam mecha, and they don't know its actual price very well, right?
Liu Cheng thought so in his heart.
Li Ronghao continued:
"So, even if I am cruel and spend a large amount of the Corps' budget to buy you a Gundam Mecha.
With the current turnover of your trash company, you may not be able to afford maintenance.
Therefore, I still recommend that you start with the combat model of the powered exoskeleton.
Let's wait until your company gets bigger in the future and then think about mechas. "
Liu Cheng nodded:
"Okay, then please ask the Corps Commander to reward me with a combat-type powered exoskeleton system."
Li Ronghao was speechless.
I secretly regretted that I had made some blind suggestions.
This guy the butcher is really looking more and more like that old scoundrel Augustine!
"Didi!"
There was a knock on the door outside.
"Enter."
Li Ronghao shouted to the people outside.
The door of the office was opened, and an officer from the flying force walked in with a smile on his face.
Following this officer was Li Kang, who looked worried.
After Li Kang and Liu Cheng met, it was not convenient for them to communicate, so they exchanged greetings with each other's eyes.
The officer entered the room and closed the door with an apologetic smile on his face, and said to Li Ronghao:
"Commander of the Corps, I have brought the driver who will respond to you this time."
Li Ronghao and the others escaped from Leviathan's body and did not see the responding troops.
Although he could rationally understand the choice of supporting the troops to evacuate.
But emotionally, he was angry about it.
Therefore, he wanted to ask the flying troops face to face the reason for withdrawing the support.
Seeing Li Ronghao's cold expression, the officer of the flying force was so frightened that sweat broke out on his forehead.
He knew very well the character of his regiment leader Li Ronghao, so he was so nervous.
Li Ronghao slowly asked:
"Is this the spaceship pilot who picked us up?"
The officer of the flying force looked at Li Kang and winked.
Li Kang took a step forward, stood at attention and saluted:
"Reporting to the commander of the corps, this is Li Kang, the captain of the third squadron of the flying unit!"
Li Ronghao nodded and looked at the officers of the flying unit.
He played with the teacup in one hand and said slowly:
“I heard rumors from people below.
When Li Kang flew the spaceship to rescue us, you threatened him and ordered him to return forcibly? "
