Chapter 543: The General Group
Chapter 543: The General Group
"It's the general group." The lieutenant general raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Recently, someone in the Northern Military Region has made military exploits and is going to be named a general?"
"What is... the general group?" Lu Sheng asked.
The lieutenant general gave him a simple explanation: "The so-called general group, as their name suggests, specially goes to a certain place to make a certain soldier a brigadier general."
"When the general group arrives at a certain military region, they will set off a bunch of fireworks like this to inform people in the military region that someone in the military region has been promoted to brigadier general."
"This is a great honor," a soldier said with emotion. "It deserves to be disclosed to the entire military region, and it is also an encouragement to everyone."
Lu Sheng probably understood.
The so-called general group is equivalent to the imperial envoys in ancient times, who were ordered to confer high-ranking officials.
Since you are here for the canonization, you must have a certain pomp and make some noise.
Setting off a couple of firecrackers isn’t too much, right?
When he explored the Dark Land of Wujin with Feihong, Yan Ziqing, and Lu Poyun before, Lu Sheng already knew that the Long Kingdom's selection system for general-level officers was particularly strict.
Only those with rank five or above are eligible to be named brigadier general.
If you want to truly be promoted to a general, you need to become a level 100 warrior and have sufficient military merit.
These two points alone make most brigadiers stuck outside the threshold of carrying generals on their shoulders.
These things are still too far away for Lu Sheng.
He is quite lucky to be able to become a colonel now. Of course, he does not think that the arrival of the general group in the Northern Military Region has anything to do with him.
After a brief commotion, Lu Sheng planned to withdraw with Li Lianheng first and reward Li Lianheng well.
As a result, before the two of them had taken a few steps, the radio above their heads rang.
"——Congratulations to Colonel Lu Sheng, a member of the 8th Team of the Hidden Dragon Group of the Western Military Region, who is now promoted to Brigadier General!"
"Colonel Lu, please come to the reception hall of the military region to accept the award! Repeat, members of the eighth team of the Hidden Dragon Group of the Western Military Region..."
"???"
Lu Sheng and Li Lianheng looked at each other blankly.
Not to mention him, even the lieutenant general behind him and the officers who were having a lively discussion fell silent one by one.
Everyone turned to look at him.
Regardless of anything else...it's outrageous just for the colonel to be promoted to brigadier general.
In the middle, there is a gap in the rank of a university!
From colonel to senior colonel, it is a small rank.
From senior colonel to brigadier general, it's another big rank.
It may not seem like much, but for a soldier's promotion path, it may be a chasm that cannot be crossed in several years!
There are precedents for being directly promoted from colonel to brigadier general, but there are too few.
As few as ten times in the history of Dragon Kingdom!
It would be fine if he jumped over the rank and was conferred the title of brigadier general.
The key is that many people in the Northern Military Region know Lu Sheng and know that he is a student at the Western Academy. Not to mention his young age, he has not yet reached the fourth rank.
Isn't the rigid standard for becoming a brigadier a fifth rank? !
How come Lu Sheng was canonized as a brigadier general when he was even in rank four? !
Outrageous.
What a departure!
Lu Sheng felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so he forced a smile to an officer next to him: "You have another one here named Lu Sheng?"
"Maybe there are." The officer looked complicated, "But there is no colonel from the Eighth Team of the Hidden Dragon Group of the Western Military Region..."
The lieutenant general laughed heartily: "You are the one who is going to be named brigadier general. You can't be wrong. Brigadier General Lu, go to the reception hall and have a look!"
"Okay..." Lu Sheng confirmed that this overwhelming wealth really hit him on the head!
"Brigadier General Lu, it seems we should postpone this meal!" Li Lianheng waved his hand to let him go first, and said sincerely: "At your promotion rate, I'm afraid it won't be long before you can be promoted to a real general-level officer. Carrying the star."
"At that time, you will have another opportunity to create your own epic weapon. Please leave this opportunity to me."
"Definitely!" Lu Sheng shook hands with Li Lianheng, "If one day, the country rewards me with weapons, I will ask you to forge them by name!"
Li Lianheng nodded and smiled: "Then we'll make it a deal."
…
Lu Sheng quickly arrived at the reception hall of the Northern Military Region.
As soon as he walked in, an acquaintance came over to him.
"Lu Bajie, long time no see! Hahaha..."
The sturdy figure gave Lu Sheng a bear hug, and Lu Sheng was also surprised: "Major General Xing? Why is it you! When did you become a member of the general group?"
This person was one of the generals who entered the dark land of Wu Jin with Lu Sheng.
Major General Xing hooked Lu Sheng's shoulder and led him into the reception hall: "The members of the general group are not fixed, they are all designated by the above. Whoever delivers the news about the general will be a member of the general group. .”
"Perhaps the higher-ups appointed me to make you a general because you and I have been comrades-in-arms. Well, it's not important anyway!"
As Lu Sheng walked into the reception hall, he found that not only Major General Xing was here, but there were six other officers. They were all school-level officers and should be part of the entourage. He didn't recognize any of them.
Major General Xing gave a general introduction to a few people, saying that these were his comrades in the Western Military Region.
Although Lu Sheng is officially at the Western Territory Academy, he is not included in the official establishment of the Western Territory Military Region. But if nothing else goes wrong, he will directly join the Western Military District after graduation, so in the future, everyone should work together, and maybe even become comrades-in-arms.
"But having said that, you are already a general even before you are formally assigned to the rank. I really can't imagine what rank you will get when you join the Western Military Region."
"Anyway, the general probably didn't run away. I just don't know if he is a major general or a lieutenant general. Tsk tsk tsk..."
Lu Sheng was a little embarrassed: "I'm just lucky. No one else knows how I got my military success. Don't you know?"
"Fortunately, we are going to the Dark Land of Wu Jin. If it were another dark land, how would I have the chance to kill the Dark Lord?"
As he was talking, Lu Sheng suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Major General Xing, what did you call me just now? What the hell is Level 8 Lu?"
"Ah? You don't know yet?" Major General Xing was surprised, "It's the Crimson God of War."
"She said that your boy came back from the Dark Land of Wu Jin and was promoted to eight levels in a row, setting a record in the history of the Dragon Kingdom Military Region, so she gave you the nickname, 'Lu Eighth Level'."
"When we talk about you in private, we all call you this. It's quite domineering! When I tell my comrades about your deeds, they all think you are worthy of this title!"
Major General Xing's sincere face doesn't look fake.
Lu Sheng looked at him and hesitated to speak.
In other words, this nickname has spread throughout the Western Military Region?
How can he still hang out in the Western Military Region in the future? !
"...Forget it." Lu Sheng leaned back in his chair tiredly and simply accepted his fate.
After all, "Lu Ba Level" is just a little bit unpleasant, so as long as everyone doesn't read it backwards, he can still accept it.
