Chapter 4: Ninety Fifth Fleet Battalion

While walking, there was an awkward silence. Ethan was uncomfortable and couldn't endure the awkwardness any longer so he spoke first.

"Adjutant Chen, we will be working together for a long time in the future, can you tell me what you are good at?"

"Everything!"

"Uh… Then let me change the question. In which aspect are you particularly good at?"

"Everything!"

Several black lines formed on Ethan's forehead

"…Well, then can you help me show the way? I'm not familiar with this place yet!"

As soon as Ethan said this, Chen Xue quickly took two steps forward and walked in front of Ethan.

She did not say a word and just walked forward.

As they kept walking and looking at his adjutant back, Ethan felt some sense of familiarity, and his heart started raising.

' that's odd, do I know her from somewhere? And this emotion' Ethan couldn't help but think back to the time his attending doctor told him he has partial memory loss.

' maybe I'm overthinking'

Half an hour later, under the guidance of his adjutant, he boarded a transport ship at the port and arrived at the ninety fifth fleet battalion base; No. 04 medium-sized orbit Starport.

During the whole process, Chen Xue didn't say a word, even her expression didn't change a bit, which almost made Ethan collapse.

He thought that having an adjutant would make his life easier but no, he was met with torture instead.

At this time, Ethan cleared up his mind. After all, he has already arrived at the place. As the newly appointed ninety fifth fleet battalion commander, he has to give a speech in front of all the officers and soldiers immediately. This thing can't be messed up, otherwise, it will be difficult to cooperate with them in the future.

After getting off the transport ship, Ethan looked at the 139 warships docked with a satisfied expression on his face.

"Adjutant Chen, order all personnel of the fleet to assemble here."

"Yes!"

After replying, she raised her right hand, and pressed a few times on her communicator, she spoke.

"Attention everyone, immediately gather at the dock, I repeat, gather at the dock immediately!"

Her voice resounded in every corner of the base. Lin Fan nodded and raised his right hand. He started a timer.

According to the minimum requirements of the federation force, after the assembly order is issued, the time for all personnel to arrive should not be longer than 10 minutes.

Five minutes later, a large number of people ran into the dock from the inner area.

Seven minutes later, Chen Xue spoke.

"Reporting to Commander, all the personnel had assembled. All the 39,400 personnel are present."

After Ethan saw that everyone had gathered, he took two steps forward and adjusted the communicator on his right hand to amplify his voice. He started his first speech as a Commander.

"My colleagues, my name is Lieutenant Commander Ethan kane, I am 22 years old this year, and I am also the new commander Ninety Fifth Fleet Battalion."

The assembled soldiers looked at him with weird gaze and some snorted provocatively.

Ethan looked at the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers who were looking at him with strange eyes. He smiled and continued his speech.

"Are you thinking, how could this guy become a Lieutenant Commander at the age of 22, or how could this guy become the Commander of a fleet battalion?"

"Then if anyone can defeat me in battle simulation or hand to hand combat, he will be the Lt. Commander"

Ethan declared with confidence.

When the assembled staff heard Lin Fan's words, they were immediately shocked. No fleet commander in their right mind would do that, right?

"Okay, that's all for now; you're dismissed"

After dispersing the officers and soldiers, Chen Xue took Ethan to the commander office.

"My office is nearby, you can call me if you need something!"

This is what Chen Xue said right after she leads him to his office.

Few minutes after sitting down, the holographic communicator on his desk blinked, answering the call;his adopted father's figure appears.

Grand Vizier Mike; a middle aged with chestnut hair, sword eyebrow, an imperious nose, his angular cheekbones carved down towards a flinty jaw. His brown eyes deep; and shown with profound light.

Seeing the familiar face, he couldn't help but call " father"

"How're you?"

"I'm doing well"

"I just received my appointment and took office"

"Oh"

"Really old man? Can you not cherish your words like this every time?"

"I have a lot to say to you brat, but I can't. I'm very busy, so hurry up!"

"When are you not busy?" Ethan retorted.

"You!! Stop annoying me."

Although he was angry, Grand Vizier Mike really couldn't refute it.

"Okay, old man, I'm here to say goodbye to you, who knows if we will have a chance to talk again in the future, right?"

Grand Vizier Mike was silent. Others don't know. But how could he not know what's going on the front line? He is the Grand Vizier second only to the President of the Federation for God's sake!

Regarding Ethan, Grand Vizier Mike does not want his status and what happened back then to have a bad influence on Ethan's growth, so he kept his information confidential. The information disclosed to the outside world is a modified data.

"Be careful, I don't want somebody bringing back a corpse. Last time I nearly went crazy."

"You should pay more attention to your body!"

"…"

The conversations between Grand Vizier Mike and Ethan had always been like this. Although it seems that they are fighting all day long, they are actually very concerned about each other. To put it simply, this is their unique way of communication.

"One last thing old man"

"No need to talk, I know what you're going to say"

Ethan clenched his fist, looking at his adopted father with expectant gaze.

Sigh~

"You're not strong enough, knowing about what happened to your parents back then;those forces are very strong and mysterious, they will notice you immediately you start investigating".

As expected, there's more to it that meets the eye. He was a little disappointed, but he swore in his heart to become strong enough to crush those mysterious force and save his biological parents.

After that chat, Lin Fan began to clean up.
