Chapter 37: After modification - 37 Explosive Plan
Fatty was awoken from his contemplation by a stinging slap, catching him completely off guard. His face was smacked from the left to the right, and a line of saliva flung from his mouth and stuck beneath his right ear.
At that moment, a voice came through the electronic speaker in the transport ship’s cabin: "Lieutenant Tian Xingjian, please report to the captain’s room immediately."
Feeling inexplicably innocent, Fatty watched with wide eyes as the female medic who had slapped him walked away. He wiped the drool from his mouth in frustration and made his way to the captain’s room.
Inside the captain’s room, besides Nadal and Rashid, there were two Lieutenant Colonels, a Colonel, and a Major General. One of the Lieutenant Colonels, dressed in an Air Force uniform, was clearly the captain of the transport ship. The other Lieutenant Colonel and the Colonel were military advisers from the Combat Department.
Upon seeing Tian Xingjian standing at attention at the door to report, Rashid hurriedly pulled him inside and introduced the Major General: "This is our division commander of the 16th Armored Division of the Aviation Marine Corps, Major General Zhou Zhisen."
Zhou Zhisen was also a typical Oriental from the Earth era. Judging from his name, he was likely Han Chinese. He was not tall and had a somewhat slender build, with sharp eyes that radiated a battle-hardened aura, naturally projecting the demeanor of a seasoned general.
The 16th Armored Division of the Aviation Marine Corps was a Level 1 Strong Army within the Leray Federation Army, a heroic unit passed down from the War of Independence. Its combat strength ranked twelfth among all mechanized Mecha units, which included three hundred Army Armored Divisions and two hundred Aviation Marine Corps Armored Divisions. To command such a division required exceptional military leadership and prowess in leading troops.
Upon hearing Rashid’s introduction, Fatty immediately stood at attention and assumed his standard iron-blooded soldier pose, saluting and loudly saying, "Hello, Division Commander! Deputy Company Commander of the Special Reconnaissance Battalion First Company of the 16th Division, Tian Xingjian, reporting for duty! Please instruct!"
