424: Deputy Commander of Cangxi

He closed the data screen, tapping his fingers lightly on the desktop, knowing full well that his future days in Gongjing No. 3 Star System would likely be no easier than those in This Galaxy Cluster.

Just figuring out how to get along with these independent civilizations and how to find a balance between supervision and respect was enough to occupy his thoughts for a while... Time flew by, and another month passed.

On this day, Li Yang officially received the transfer order jointly issued by the Supreme Political Council and the military.

When that transfer order was handed to Li Yang, his heart was surprisingly calm.

During this month, he was like a traveler about to embark on a long journey, already fully prepared.

He clearly knew that this transfer order was both an opportunity and a challenge, and he was ready to face everything.

In The Administrative Center Department of This Galaxy Cluster, all the matters that needed to be handled had been dealt with properly by him.

He personally reviewed and carefully vetted every document and every decision, ensuring there were no outstanding issues.

He was like a meticulous craftsman, carefully carving every detail, completing the final finishing touches before his departure.

Moreover, due to the downfall of Wang Wen and his group, some vacancies appeared in the department.

Among these vacancies, Li Yang specifically promoted Xia Quan by one rank, temporarily elevating him from Director of the Discipline Inspection Commission Office to Deputy Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

This decision was not made lightly but was the result of Li Yang's careful consideration.

Xia Quan had always been diligent and responsible in his work, possessing outstanding abilities, and had accumulated rich experience in his role as Director of the Discipline Inspection Commission Office.

Although this promotion was a temporary arrangement due to staff shortages, anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was similar to the previous secondment situation; as long as Xia Quan didn't encounter any unexpected problems, this position would eventually belong to him.

This was like a test of Xia Quan's abilities, and also a form of trust and expectation from Li Yang.

Ou Ben and the others often teased Xia Quan about his promotion.

They laughed, saying, "It truly is 'easy to enjoy the shade when backed by a big tree,'" and that Xia Quan's promotion speed was much faster than theirs.

In The Administrative Center Department of This Galaxy Cluster, everyone worked hard in their positions, and the path to promotion was like a long marathon, every step taken with difficulty and slowness.

But Xia Quan, on the other hand, with Li Yang as his backer, his promotion was like riding a fast train, advancing rapidly.

Although there were still some people internally who were not convinced, there was nothing they could do.

After all, everyone knew that Wang Wen's downfall was almost entirely due to Xia Quan's independent secret investigation.

Those were difficult days; Xia Quan, relying on his wisdom and perseverance, gradually uncovered the truth of Wang Wen's violations.

This achievement was weighty and undeniable before everyone; even if some people were inwardly unconvinced, they could only hide such emotions deep down and would not easily show them.

At the bridge, Li Yang had already assembled his fleet; starships were neatly arrayed, emitting a cold metallic gleam.

He stood on the bridge, tall and resolute, ready to depart for Gongjing No. 3 Star System.

Ou Ben and his entourage specifically came to see Li Yang off.

Their eyes held both reluctance and blessings for Li Yang.

Chairman Ou chuckled playfully.

"Secretary Li, after this farewell, the next time we meet, I'm afraid we'll have to call you 'Commander,' haha."

His hearty laughter echoed on the bridge, easing the sadness of departure.

Li Yang also smiled in response.

"Chairman Ou, what you said, I dare not be called Commander, but Division Commander is indeed a solid fact, hahaha."

His laughter carried confidence and composure.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Li Yang turned and boarded the starship.

The starship's hatch slowly closed, and then, the starship slowly started, carrying its mission, and sped towards Gongjing No. 3 Star System.

Ou Ben and his group stood on the bridge, watching the departing starship, silently wishing it well... Inside the Command Room, Li Yang was intently looking at the starship's navigation data and relevant information about Gongjing No. 3 Star System.

Suddenly, the communication system emitted a notification sound, indicating an incoming call request.

He paused slightly, then looked at the screen, which showed Army Commander Cang as the caller.

Seeing this name, Li Yang's expression instantly became respectful, and he quickly reached out to accept the call.

Army Commander Cang's familiar face soon appeared on the screen, and he said with a smile and a booming voice,

"Li Yang, I heard you, kid, are coming to my army to be a Division Commander this time?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yang suddenly remembered that this Army Commander Cang was precisely the Deputy Army Commander of the Imperial Homeland Security Force.

Quickly recalling his past interactions with Army Commander Cang, he couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed at his oversight.

Li Yang quickly bowed slightly and said apologetically,

"Army Commander Cang, look at my memory; I just remembered you were in this army. I'm truly sorry, it was my oversight."

Army Commander Cang feigned anger and laughed, scolding,

"You kid, if I hadn't called you, you probably would have forgotten about me, wouldn't you?"

Li Yang quickly explained,

"How could that be? I wouldn't dare to forget you, sir. Your help to me has always been etched in my heart. By the way, Army Commander Cang, could my transfer this time be because of you..."

Li Yang did not finish his sentence, but his eyes were full of doubt and speculation.

After all, Cang Xi happened to be the Deputy Army Commander of the Homeland Security Force, and he himself was just transferred here; the connection between these facts made it hard not to draw conclusions.

"I'm just a mere General; how could I have the ability to transfer a Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission to the army to be a Division Commander?"

Cang Xi quickly waved his hand, his tone carrying a hint of helpless laughter.

"These are all decisions made by the high-ranking officials of the military. To be honest, when I first received the news, I was even more surprised than you."

His words were true—he was currently only a Deputy Army Commander, not even firmly seated in the Army Commander's position, so how could he have the power to directly transfer an official to be a Division Commander?

Cang Xi looked at Li Yang, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Speaking of which, a few of us had planned earlier that once you graduated from the academy, we would bring you into our army to properly hone your skills. Who would have thought that as soon as you graduated, the appointment order from the Supreme Political Council came down. How could we dare to snatch someone from the top? Now it's good; you can come to the 19th Division as a Division Commander. The Army Commander and I have discussed it; we must cultivate you as a key talent."

At this point, he changed the subject, his expression becoming serious.

"The main reason I'm looking for you today is to tell you about the internal situation of the 19th Division. Some things cannot be found in the public database of the intelligent brain."

Upon hearing this, Li Yang immediately straightened his posture, his previously relaxed shoulders tensing slightly, and his eyes becoming focused. He knew that the "internal situation" Cang Xi spoke of was likely critical information concerning the unit's conduct, interpersonal relationships, or hidden problems, which were far more important than cold data.
