Chapter 885 - 0885: The New Official Takes Office 3
Lu Jiang and the others clearly understood Hen Xiangqian’s intentions.
Hen Xiangqian wasn’t originally from here and had no foundation; he needed to consolidate power, and that power currently lay in the hands of Lu Jiang and Wen Hao—one the acting army commander, the other the chief of staff—supporting one another.
It would be enough time for Hen Xiangqian to achieve his goals while Lu Jiang and his team were away.
While Lu Jiang had exceptional combat abilities on the battlefield, he didn’t particularly enjoy the administrative scheming and wasn’t concerned about the authority Hen Xiangqian held in high esteem; a soldier’s duty lies on the battlefield.
Thus, after glancing at Zheng Xuefeng and the others, Lu Jiang immediately smiled and said, "I was the first to be relieved when Comrade Hen arrived, because I am young and inexperienced, and taking on such a heavy responsibility is actually somewhat beyond my qualifications. Under Comrade Hen’s management, I’m confident the troops will thrive. A holiday sounds wonderful; I haven’t taken leave to visit family for several years now, and I’ve longed to go back and see them."

In truth, he did miss his home, but his duty to his country always came before his family, so usually he had to suppress his longing deep inside.

Going home, of course, he wanted to return with his wife. That would be a real family reunion.
