Chu Jungui rested his chin on his hands and looked at Sears opposite, unable to understand the man's thoughts for a moment.
Even in Base No. 2, where there is no shortage of space, Chu Jungui's office is not big. Apart from necessary equipment such as the armor locker, there is only one console, which is very simple. Chu Jungui does not need a personal mastermind, he is the humanoid mastermind himself.
However, even with Chu Jungui’s calculation power, it was impossible to speculate on Sears’ intentions. After a few seconds of silence, Chu Jungui said: "My notification was sent just five minutes ago. And you..."
"It took me 1 minute and 15 seconds to read the notification three times, then 20 seconds to finish what I was doing, and 2 minutes and 10 seconds to rush over. So I thought carefully about it."
Chu Jungui was a little helpless and said, "You have to know that this is just a deputy company commander, and his military rank is only a lieutenant."
Although Sears was the cannon fodder that Agnes single-handedly sent into the fire pit, before he was captured, he was the major general of the Yifenghua Corps and a stand-alone commander. He was not from a distinguished background, and even if Yi Fenghua was a third-tier civilian corps, it was not easy to climb all the way to the rank of general.
Therefore, Chu Jungui has always had great trust in generals from the federal nobles such as Roland and Wilson and used them freely, but he was very cautious with Sills and always used him as an ordinary soldier. It wasn't that Chu Jungui looked down on him, but that he didn't want to give him any opportunities.
Unexpectedly, Sears jumped out on his own and wanted to be a little lieutenant.
No matter how awesome the special forces are, they are just tactical units, and Sills can't use most of his abilities. After all, as the commander of the planetary pioneering corps, Sils's strongest point is leadership and command, as well as responding to planetary events in different environments. If he were made deputy company commander, most of his abilities would be wasted, although now Chu Jungui has wasted all his abilities.
Faced with Chu Jungui's question, Sears had already prepared a plan and said: "This is not about position, but symbolic meaning. After all, this is our first official army with an establishment number in the dynasty. I am I have worked my way up from company commander, and commanding small-scale battles is also my specialty."
"But..." Before Chu Jungui could speak, there was a knock on the door, and it was Roland who opened the door and walked in.
Roland was a little surprised when he saw Sears, but he immediately ignored Sears and said to Chu Jungui: "Boss, let me be the deputy company commander!"
When Chu Jungui was stunned, Sears had already jumped up and said, "Roland, are you doing this badly? I applied for this deputy company commander first."
Roland was surprised, looked at Sears up and down, and said, "You want to be one too?"
"certainly!"
"You don't understand special forces command."
"Who says I don't understand? My first step in joining the army was as a company commander, what about you? It's you who I don't understand!"
Roland suddenly seemed a little embarrassed. As a noble, one must start at least as a major in the army. Lieutenant is something that only civilians can do. Roland's family background is not prominent, but he started as a major, and he served on the staff of the legion from the beginning, and did not go to the grassroots army. Sears' question struck a chord with him.
Roland's face immediately sank and he said, "I am one of the first ones to follow the boss, and I have gained a lot of military exploits over such a long period of time. Do you want to compete with me for this position?"
Sears smiled slightly and said: "Since this position has not been designated, it will naturally be occupied by those who are capable. As for military achievements, they are all the ability of the Lord and his friends. If you say hard work, there is credit. But that’s not necessarily the case.”
Roland couldn't get off the stage and said angrily: "You, a guy from a third-tier army, are you worthy of questioning me?"
Sears sat still and said calmly: "Although our Yifenghua is not very good, the Lancers are not truly first-class. If we are all issued the same equipment, it is not certain who will win. What! Besides, after all, I used to be a federal major general, and you were just a colonel. Is there something wrong with the way you talk to me now? "
Roland's face turned ugly, his tone softened slightly, and he said, "I have to admit that your past achievements were good. But that is not the reason why you can compete with me for position. Not long ago, you were a prisoner."
Sears smiled and said: "So I want this position. One is that I am qualified, and the other is that I also need to be in the dynasty so that I can find a way to bring my family to the dynasty in the future. I don't have many people in my family. My parents are gone, so it’s just my wife and four children. How many family members do you have? Can you move here?”
Roland was stunned for a moment, and this question directly stopped him. As a noble, the most important thing is the connection between bloodlines. Roland's family is also very numerous, and many of them hold important positions in the Federation. It is impossible to move to the dynasty.
Just as the two were arguing, the door knocked again, and a former federal colonel came in. He looked at the two people in the room, was stunned for a moment, and said, "Are you all here?"
"What's the matter?" Chu Jungui suddenly had a bad feeling.
The former federal colonel was a little hesitant, "Well, I just want to ask if there is still a vacancy for the deputy commander of the newly established special company. If..."
"No!" Sears and Roland said in unison.
Chu Jungui really had a headache now. Originally, he only wanted some warriors with strong individual combat capabilities and simple backgrounds. After being given dynasty status, they would become his direct henchmen. I didn't expect that the position of a mere deputy company commander would actually attract so many people to compete for it. It has just been released not long ago, and it seems that more people will come in a while.
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a commotion outside the door. Chu Jungui stood up and came to the door. When he opened the door, he saw five people standing outside the door. They didn't look very good on each other.
These people are all former federal officers, and at worst they were lieutenant colonels.
"You are also here to be the deputy company commander?" Chu Jungui asked.
Several people suddenly looked a little embarrassed. Only the lieutenant colonel said: "No, I just want to be a platoon leader."
This man must have originally wanted to be the deputy company commander, but he changed his mind temporarily when he saw that there were so many and strong competitors.
Chu Jungui sighed and said, "I don't understand. I'm just a deputy company commander. What's there to fight for?"
"Of course you don't understand!" one officer blurted out, then realized and shut up.
"Everyone...come in." Chu Jungui looked at his office, which could barely accommodate these people.
When everyone entered the office, the atmosphere suddenly felt awkward. Before Chu Jungui could think of how to speak, someone strode into the office, and it was Wilson.
Wilson also didn't expect that there were so many people in Chu Jungui's office. He was stunned for a moment and then said: "It seems there are a lot of deputy company commanders!"
