485: To be continued tomorrow

While Comrade Li Yang was still lost in thought over the appointment letter from the Supreme Political Council, on the other side, Army Commander Cang Xi, who had just finished the promotion ceremony, hurried back to his office.

As soon as Cang Xi sat down, before he even had a chance to drink a sip of water, the communicator on his desk rang urgently.

He frowned slightly and reached out to press the answer button.

Following the command sound from the communicator, Cang Xi's expression gradually became solemn.

"Transferring the Nineteenth Division to the border Galaxy? What's going on?"

He murmured to himself, his voice carrying a hint of confusion and bewilderment.

At this moment, he had only received this transfer order, completely unaware that Li Yang had also been appointed Speaker of the Longlan Star Cluster.

Cang Xi leaned back in his chair, his fingers gently tapping the desktop, lost in thought.

Such a deployment of Comrade Li Yang's troops must have significant strategic considerations behind it, but he was completely in the dark about the specifics.

"Go, call Comrade Li Yang over."

Cang Xi said to his adjutant, his tone firm and unquestionable.

After all, these were Comrade Li Yang's troops; such a major deployment definitely required informing him and discussing it thoroughly with him.

Soon after, Comrade Li Yang arrived at Cang Xi's office.

He gently knocked on the door, and after receiving permission, pushed the door open and walked in.

The atmosphere in the office was slightly oppressive; Cang Xi sat behind his desk, his expression serious.

As soon as Comrade Li Yang entered, Cang Xi stood up, looked directly at him, and asked,

"Do you know about your troops being transferred to the border for garrison duty?"

His voice was low and strong, his eyes revealing his concern about this deployment and for Comrade Li Yang.

Comrade Li Yang was slightly startled, a little surprised in his heart.

He didn't expect Cang Xi to talk to him about this so quickly, and he had just received the appointment from the Supreme Political Council, not yet having had time to fully process it.

He composed himself and replied politely,

"Army Commander Cang, the Supreme Political Council just sent me a message."

"Good that you know... Wait, what? The Supreme Political Council? Isn't this an Imperial Military Department matter? What does the State Council have to do with it?"

Army Commander Cang's originally calm expression was instantly replaced by astonishment; his eyes widened slightly, his brows furrowed, and his face was full of confusion.

In his understanding, military actions like troop deployments were always decided and commanded by the Imperial Military Department; the Supreme Political Council had no say in it.

This sudden news left him somewhat baffled.

Seeing this, Comrade Li Yang realized he needed to let Cang Xi understand the full picture.

He quickly opened his optical screen, his fingers rapidly sliding across it, pulling up the appointment notice sent by the Supreme Political Council.

The text on the optical screen clearly displayed the contents of the appointment; Comrade Li Yang turned the optical screen towards Cang Xi and said,

"Army Commander Cang, please look."

Cang Xi's gaze fell on the optical screen, and as the text on it gradually came into view, his expression slowly changed.

His previously furrowed brow instantly relaxed, replaced by a look of surprise and shock.

His eyes widened further and further, and his mouth slightly opened, as if he had seen something incredible.

"Speaker of the Longlan Star Cluster... Wait a minute, they didn't relieve you of your current Division Commander position either?"

Cang Xi's voice involuntarily rose a few pitches, carrying a hint of disbelief.

He never imagined that Comrade Li Yang was not only appointed Speaker of the Longlan Star Cluster but also retained his position as Commander of the Nineteenth Division.

Watching Cang Xi's somewhat bewildered look, Comrade Li Yang silently nodded.

"Amazing..."

Cang Xi exclaimed softly, his tone filled with admiration.

He had always highly recognized Comrade Li Yang's ability and potential, but he didn't expect the Empire to entrust him with such a heavy responsibility.

At this moment, he finally understood why the Nineteenth Division was being transferred to the border for garrison duty.

After all that, it was all for Comrade Li Yang.

With the Nineteenth Division as a backing, Comrade Li Yang would have stronger influence and executive power when carrying out his work in the Longlan Star Cluster.

This series of arrangements was clearly a well-thought-out strategic deployment.

Cang Xi looked at Comrade Li Yang, his heart full of emotion, and mused to himself,

Is this what it means to be a person prioritized for development by the higher-ups? Look at this treatment... it's truly speechless.

He couldn't help but recall his own military career, where he had struggled and fought his way up, every step being incredibly difficult, while the young Comrade Li Yang before him received such an extraordinary appointment and arrangement at a young age. Behind this was naturally the Empire's high recognition of his abilities and its deep expectations.

Cang Xi sighed softly and said earnestly,

"Alas, go there and do well. The higher-ups value you so much; you must not let down the Empire's expectations."

His eyes were full of concern and anticipation.

Comrade Li Yang stood tall, his eyes firm, and responded forcefully,

"Don't worry, Army Commander Cang, I will definitely not let down the Empire's cultivation of me."

His voice was resolute, carrying an unquestionable determination.

From the moment he joined the Empire, he had closely linked his destiny with the rise and fall of the Empire. Now, facing new challenges and missions, he was already fully prepared to give his all.

"That's good. Go, I will issue the notice for your troops to proceed to the Longlan Star Cluster."

Cang Xi nodded slightly, his eyes showing trust.

"Yes!"

Comrade Li Yang gave a standard military salute... Meanwhile, at the Nineteenth Division headquarters, He Dong, who remained there, was sitting at his desk, carefully reviewing documents.

Suddenly, the communicator emitted an urgent alert tone, breaking the silence of the office.

He Dong frowned slightly and reached out to open the communicator. When he saw the transfer order from the Military Department, his eyes instantly widened, and his face was filled with shock and confusion.

"To garrison the Longlan Star Cluster? What is the Military Department doing? How did our Homeland Security Force troops become border defense troops?"

He Dong couldn't help but mutter to himself, his voice full of doubt.

In his understanding, the Homeland Security Force was primarily responsible for the safety and stability of these civilized Galaxies, which was distinctly different from the duties of border defense troops.

Such a sudden transfer order left him somewhat baffled.

He Dong leaned back in his chair, his fingers gently tapping the desktop, lost in thought.

Although he was very surprised, he quickly calmed down.

He decided to wait until Comrade Li Yang returned, as such important news had already reached his division headquarters, so Comrade Li Yang must also be aware.

He believed that Comrade Li Yang would definitely give him a reasonable explanation.
