I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Chapter 746 Li Wei's Thoughts

When competing with Liu Qi, Li Wei was incredibly fierce, and when dealing with his subordinates, he was stern. In short, Li Wei was never gentle with anyone.

Therefore, Su Mo could clearly feel that his current appearance was awkward and stiff.

Su Mo said, "General Li, you are too kind. I was just doing my job for the fee. I am honored to be received by you personally today."

Li Wei turned his head to the side and forced a stiff smile.

"Principal Su, don't be modest. I know your resume very well."

He went on and on, praising all the tasks Su Mo had done in the past, as if he had said everything that needed to be said.

Su Mo felt that General Li Wei was probably the least likely leader she had ever met to praise his juniors.

Su Mo actually misunderstood this point. Li Wei was very good at praising his soldiers who performed well.

However, Su Mo was not under his jurisdiction. He had his own purpose in coming to see her this time. It's understandable that such an upright person would not do well in trying to please her.

Su Mo listened to the other person's story with a smile.

But she couldn't let Li Wei continue. She had only seen Li Wei's basic information and didn't know anything about his achievements, so she couldn't flatter him.

In situations like these, it can be a bit awkward if there's no give-and-take.

Su Mo decided to change the subject and asked, "General Li came here today specifically because the Space Force's pet unit is now under your command?"

Li Wei's smile froze.

"No, the battle pet unit doesn't have a clear affiliation; it will be sent to the front lines to be directly managed by the highest-ranking commander." He cleared his throat.

"Oh, I see..."

Who is the highest-ranking commander at the front now? It's General Liu Qi. The two of them don't get along.

Su Mo pursed her lips, realizing that she was also someone who didn't know how to speak.

Li Wei didn't want the conversation to fall flat, so he asked, "I heard that Principal Su is here this time to hire a few soldiers from our area to work as cargo ship pilots?"

"Yes, is this matter decided by General Li?" Su Mo nodded and asked subconsciously.

Fortunately, Li Wei nodded.

Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Wei explained, "It's not easy for us to train a warship pilot. We can only temporarily assign a few to help Principal Su as a transition. We can't let them directly join Principal Su's team."

"I hope Principal Su can understand this situation."

Although those soldiers have only learned how to pilot warships, they will definitely need to strengthen their training in warship combat in the future. They are all reserves for the Space Force's warship legion and are all top-notch experts.

It's impossible to let him retire from the military and go out to work for private individuals.

Su Mo was a little disappointed, but not much, since this was the result she had expected.

Although the Space Force has been established for more than two years, its recruitment standards are high, so the number of Space Force soldiers is still too small.

Su Mo wasn't surprised that the other party refused to poach her. She was just giving it a try, and if it didn't work out, she could temporarily borrow her. She was willing to accept that.

"That works too. I do need a transition period, and the academy is already training people in this field."

"But General Li, rest assured, even if they are temporarily transferred here, I will ensure that the soldiers' salaries and benefits are paid as usual."

"If I can teach practical classes part-time during my spare time, I will also be paid extra."

The college has always provided excellent benefits, a fact that many people know.

Li Wei was very satisfied that the other party offered temporary workers formal treatment.

Although the smile on his face is gone now, he is actually happy.

"I've already selected the people, and they're waiting over on the training ground. They're all experienced warship pilots, so Principal Su can use them with confidence."

"That's wonderful, thank you so much, General Li," Su Mo said with delight.

It saved her time and the trouble of choosing people herself, so Su Mo was truly grateful.

She certainly doesn't understand the soldiers' skill levels as well as Li Wei does, and as the commander of a major corps in the Space Force, Li Wei would never send out unskilled soldiers to embarrass the Space Force.

Having said all that, Li Wei paused for a moment.

He rubbed his hands together on his knees, feeling it was time to reveal his true purpose.

"I heard that Principal Su is planning to leave for the front lines at the end of this year?"

Su Mo wasn't surprised that the other party knew her expected departure time. After all, it wasn't a secret. She had already told Chairman Jiang. Li Wei was a high-ranking officer in the Space Force, so it wasn't surprising that he would know.

But now that Li Wei has brought it up, Su Mo feels he should be more careful with his answer.

"If all goes well, we can leave by the end of this year, or possibly early next year."

Li Wei immediately replied, "You must have gone there by flying shuttle, right?"

"Yes, the shuttle is fast."

"Would it be convenient to bring a few people along?"

Li Wei turned his body to the side this time, looking intently at Su Mo and waiting for her reply.

A question mark popped into Su Mo's mind.

She said tactfully, "Bring people over? The shuttle has limited space; it probably can't hold many people."

Even if you could bring ten or so people, you probably couldn't do much, right?

Even if they went there, they wouldn't be able to build a base first, nor could they send a dozen or so people to fight the Zerg.

Why did Li Wei ask that question?

He wants to arrange for someone to go with him? Who should he send?

"Not many are needed. In order to obtain more frontline intelligence before the First Legion arrives, I plan to send an advance team with Principal Su."

"The advance team will not actively engage in conflict with the Zerg. They will act flexibly, for example, by helping Principal Su find the coordinates of the mother hive. In the process, they can also select a suitable base of operations."

Because Su Mo's main task at the front line was to clear out the mother hive, she didn't need to clear out all the Zerg soldiers bred by the mother hive.

"The advance team keeps abreast of the Zerg situation on the planet, which also facilitates subsequent battle deployment."

After listening quietly to what the other party had to say, Su Mo didn't understand any battle deployment and couldn't comment on whether it was necessary. However, the other party's emotions at this moment gave her an unbelievable idea.

"Does General Li intend to do this himself?"

Su Mo had a headache.

Can the commander of the Third Army Corps abandon the Third Army Corps and go do this?

Li Wei cleared his throat.

“That’s right, I will lead this advance team.”

"I can do this with ten of the best soldiers from the Third Legion."

Su Mo "..."

The car stopped; we'd arrived at the playground.

The chariot doors opened, and Su Mo and Li Wei stepped out from either side.

They walked together to the front of the soldiers who were already lined up and waiting. The 490 soldiers stood tall with their heads held high, looking straight ahead. Next to them, there was another separate line of soldiers.

Before we begin, Li Wei pointed to a separate team and said, “Those twelve are the outstanding warship pilots I selected. Principal Su will take them away after the contract ceremony is complete.”
