Chapter 737

……

That afternoon.

Northwest Military Region, conference room.

About to commence is the highest-level military conference of the Dragon Nation!

Those permitted to attend are all top-level Dragon Nation military leaders with the rank of General or above!

Chen Guoan had changed into a brand-new military uniform early on and sat upright in his office, waiting for the meeting to begin.

For today's meeting, Chen Guoan had come specifically for the commendation, so he was naturally refreshed and exceptionally expectant.

Song Qi had established yet another monumental, heaven-defying merit.

These merits would all be credited to the Northwest Military Region!

How could Chen Guoan not be overjoyed?

A few minutes later.

Projections appeared one by one in the conference hall.

Sitting in the very center of the conference room was none other than the Commander-in-Chief of the Dragon Nation's armed forces—Grand General Fan Xianyao!

Chief of General Staff Wang Lao sat to the Grand General's right.

As soon as the meeting began, it was drowned out by the bustling voices of the gathered Generals.

"Good!"

"Inspiring, it's just too damn inspiring! That's a 3nm-class lithography machine! Isn't Engineer Song just too awesome?"

"Hahahaha! From today on, I want to see who still dares to bark like a dog in front of the Dragon Nation, and who still dares to say that our Dragon Nation won't be able to build a lithography machine in a hundred years!"

"The Free Nation really lost their shirt on this one, and they even blew up their own Wanji Dian! Hahahaha! I can already imagine Baideng looking furious..."

"One word! Awesome!"

"..."

In an instant, the conference room became as noisy as a vegetable market.

The group of military bigwigs, who usually held absolute authority in the outside world, were now as excited as children, dancing and gesturing.

Their faces were flushed red, and their moods were clearly at the peak of exhilaration.

In the past, if the Grand General had seen such a noisy environment, he probably would have shouted to stop them long ago.

Yet today, the Grand General just watched the scene before him with a smile, not getting angry at all, but instead letting the Generals make their noise.

After a long while, the Grand General finally reached out and pressed down a few times.

The room immediately quieted down.

"It's fine to be happy, but we are, after all, in a meeting. You are all Generals; why are you turning the meeting site into a vegetable market!"

"However, I can understand everyone's mood!"

"But showing your joy so openly is not the demeanor of a General!"

"This time, the Free Nation has really taken a hard fall!"

"Not only has their lithography machine technology been surpassed by us, but they have also lost all their face, completely becoming a robber nation that everyone wants to beat up!"

"The most critical thing is that they blew up their own Wanji Dian; doesn't that just free up market share for our Dragon Nation?"

"Our Dragon Nation has really made a fortune on this one!"

As the Grand General spoke, he couldn't control the smile on his face and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Pfft..."

"Hahahaha..."

Listening to the Grand General's hearty laughter, the Generals present looked at each other, but in the end, they didn't join in the laughter.

The Grand General himself said to be serious!

Otherwise, there would be no General's demeanor!

The Grand General can laugh because he is the Grand General!

Why should we laugh?

Soon, the Grand General finally stabilized his emotions. He looked at everyone and said in a clear voice.

"We have achieved such a major victory, and it is all thanks to Engineer Song Qi of the Northwest Military Region!"

"Old Chen! I told you earlier, once Song Qi makes a move, we can rest easy..."

"Look, I wasn't wrong, was I!"

The Grand General's proud voice came through, and Chen Guoan hurriedly nodded upon hearing this.

"The Grand General is right!"

"I was worried before that Song Qi might mess things up, but now it seems that worry was completely unnecessary..."

"Isn't that so?"

The Grand General was so happy he even used dialect.

"Who is Song Qi?"

"Come! Old Chen, tell everyone how Engineer Song managed to devise strategies within a command tent and achieve victory from a thousand miles away!"

"Let everyone learn well!!!"

"Uh..."

Chen Guoan's face suddenly became awkward.

"Why are you stunned?"

"Speak up..." the Grand General's urging voice came.

Chen Guoan then slowly said: "Song Qi... didn't really operate much... these past few days, she has been in my office, turning on the air conditioning, covering herself with a quilt, playing games... watching TV series... and by the way, playing Chinese chess with me?"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Everyone present was stunned.

The smile on the Grand General's face also froze.

"Finished? Just this?"

"Just this..." Chen Guoan replied in a low voice.

The scene fell into an eerie silence...
