Chapter 10: For the Sake of the Ordinary Soldiers!

After hearing Du Kaao's words, Ye Cang merely smiled and said nothing.

Every time he came, it was the same old rhetoric; he had long since grown tired of hearing it.

Bringing Huang Lao along this time, it was still the same rhetoric; he really didn't want to say anything anymore.

Watching Ye Cang, who only smiled and remained silent, Du Kaao's brows furrowed tighter and tighter; he did not understand what Ye Cang meant by this.

Was he mocking him?

Not understanding Ye Cang's meaning, Du Kaao did not speak, but stared fixedly at Ye Cang.

He was afraid that if he said the wrong thing, he would provoke a frenzied attack from Ye Cang.

This kid had a foul mouth and extremely strong offensive power.

Whenever he recalled the scenes of his first and second meetings with Ye Cang, Du Kaao felt his blood pressure soaring.

Amidst their silence, the already heavy atmosphere in the reception room became even heavier.

Huang Lao, off to the side, knew it was time for him to speak.

Thus, he gave a light cough.

"Ahem, well, Old Du, Little Ye, aren't we here to have a proper talk? If neither of you says anything, how are we supposed to talk?"

"Regardless of what conflicts you two had in the past or what happened, do me a favor and let it go!"

"Let's have a good talk today and resolve everything that needs to be resolved."

As soon as Huang Lao finished speaking, Ye Cang nodded in agreement.

"Fine, I have no problem with that. General Du Kaao, say whatever you want to say; I'm listening."

Ye Cang's prompt attitude made Du Kaao somewhat incredulous; how did this kid suddenly become so easy to talk to?

Damn it, is this kid targeting me?!

If Ye Cang knew Du Kaao's thoughts, he would definitely mock him thoroughly.

He was busy as hell; why would he have nothing better to do than target him?

As for why he was easy to talk to today?

That had to do with his own principles; as the saying goes, one does not strike a smiling face.

If the other party was willing to talk properly, he would exchange a few words with them; if they dared to stir up trouble with him...

Ye Cang wouldn't mind letting them know what simple foul-mouthedness and ultimate enjoyment were!

Centered on the parents, with relatives as the radius, and then... ahem, ahem, ahem, this topic ends here.

Huang Lao looked at the silent Du Kaao and tapped the table lightly.

"Old Du, don't space out. Little Ye is letting you speak first, so go ahead; don't be shy."

Prompted by Huang Lao, Du Kaao came back to his senses.

"Alright, since that's the case, I'll speak first."

"Ye Cang, you must have seen Du Qiangwei's Micro-wormhole Transport Technology by now!"

Ye Cang nodded, indicating he had seen it.

Du Kaao continued: "Since you've seen it, that makes things easier. I'll use her as an example to explain."

"The mainstream of future warfare will definitely be based on individual combat, facing enemies by employing small-team decapitation strikes!"

"That is why Super Soldiers were born, and Du Qiangwei is a Super Soldier!"

"Furthermore, every Super Soldier has different abilities! They execute missions by organizing into small teams! Besides that, they also have sophisticated equipment!"

"Ye Cang, just imagine, if you were on your Luan Niao Platform right now and a team of Super Soldiers infiltrated it to carry out a decapitation strike against you, you can imagine the final result!"

"What's more, the enemies Earth faces have technology that surpasses ours by several eras!"

"Your Nantianmen Project looks excellent, but in reality, it is just a pile of scrap metal!"

Hearing this, Ye Cang was somewhat speechless.

The implication behind Du Kaao's words was that his Nantianmen Project was useless and he should give it up immediately; only the Xiongbing Company was the most powerful!

Just as Ye Cang was about to say something, Huang Lao suddenly spoke up.

"Little Ye, don't be in such a rush to answer; you need to think carefully about what Little Du said."

"I personally feel that what Little Du said makes a lot of sense!"

"Just like that child Qiangwei, who is elusive; even if you hide in an iron shell, it's useless!"

"I know you are a good child and you are doing this for Earth, but you have to pay attention to the method, don't you?"

"Why not use a better method when one is available? Think about it carefully, Little Ye!"

Huang Lao's tone was very gentle.

But if one listened carefully to the content of his words, one could see that he was siding with Du Kaao throughout.

However, Ye Cang stood by his original stance: wanting him to stop the Nantianmen Project was impossible!

Thinking of this, Ye Cang already knew how he should respond.

But Huang Lao did not give Ye Cang the chance to speak, instead adding: "Of course, Little Ye, you are still very talented."

"I won't let your talent go to waste. I'll take the initiative and have you join the Xiongbing Company; let's make you the Deputy Commander of the Xiongbing Company!"

After finishing, Huang Lao turned his head to look at Du Kaao.

"Old Du, is this decision of mine acceptable?"

Du Kaao nodded, indicating he had no objections.

As for Ye Cang, after hearing these words, his face couldn't help but twitch.

Just like that, with two sentences, they had arranged his entire future?!

However, Ye Cang finally understood why A Jie would come up with the terrible idea of having him join the Xiongbing Company.

He learned it from Huang Lao!

However, there is one thing that must be said: Huang Lao is more generous than A Jie; Huang Lao offered the position of deputy commander right away, while what A Jie said really wasn't worth looking at.

"I say, Huang Lao, have you forgotten about me, the person involved?" Ye Cang said with a slightly helpless tone, resting his chin on one hand while looking at the two of them.

"You've arranged everything for me in just a few words; is this a notification, or are we sitting down to have a proper talk?"

The meaning of Ye Cang's words was very clear, but Huang Lao pretended not to understand.

"Oh my, I'm sorry, Little Ye, I got a bit carried away, my apologies, my apologies! Go ahead and say whatever you want to say!"

"Old Du and I are both listening!"

The meaning behind Huang Lao's words was: go ahead and speak, but even if you do, it's just empty talk; I must get you arranged today!

Ye Cang naturally understood the implications behind Huang Lao's words, but it was a pity that he had been personally granted authority by *that person*, and as long as he did not nod, no one could do anything to him.

However, to be fair, Huang Lao is indeed more formidable than Du Kaao.

After thinking this through, Ye Cang opened his mouth to pose a question.

"General Du Kaao just said that the future will be small-team decapitation strikes, and those capable of conducting decapitation strikes are all Super Soldiers, right?"

This time it was Du Kaao's turn to nod.

"Good, since that's the case, I would like to ask the two of you: since the future will be dominated by Super Soldiers, can the number of ordinary soldiers be reduced?"

"For example, if there are currently 100 ordinary soldiers in total, can those 100 soldiers be reduced to 50 because of the existence of Super Soldiers?"

As soon as Ye Cang's question was raised, Huang Lao immediately provided an answer.

"Absolutely not, not only can they not be reduced, they must be increased—let the 100 soldiers be increased to 200!"

"Why?" Ye Cang asked.

"Little Ye, do you know how many resources it takes to cultivate a Super Soldier? I won't go into the details." Huang Lao said.

"You only need to know that Super Soldiers are the elite, and for general situations, one still has to rely on ordinary soldiers."

Hearing this, Ye Cang let out a cold laugh.

"Well said! For general situations, one still has to rely on ordinary soldiers!"

"And my Nantianmen Project is precisely for that group of ordinary soldiers!"
