13: Chapter 13: The Rescue Begins! Lin Mo Must Come With Me!

Academician Lan Mingcheng is indeed a veteran academician; he hits the core of the issue directly when looking at problems.

He truly does not need the empty titles of a master's or doctoral degree, nor does he need further studies.

His technology is all inside his head!

However...

The Material Physics Experimental Center is, after all, more applied in nature, and it is located in the northwestern part of China.

In terms of power and status, it is worlds apart compared to the Nuclear Power Operation Research Institute!

And if he wants to implement strategic deterrence externally, he must have the backing of the state and possess a certain level of authority to speak out!

For a moment, Lin Mo did not know how to make a choice.

Just at this moment.

General Li Jingwu, who had been silent until now, spoke up with a chuckle.

"I say, you two big shots, are you forgetting something while you're scrambling to snatch him up like this?"

"Have you forgotten that I am the Chief of the General Armament Department of the Supreme Military Region, a two-star general?"

"Have you forgotten what Lin Mo's major is?"

Upon this reminder, the expressions of Xiang Guangming and Academician Lan Mingcheng changed drastically, and they said in unison.

"General Li Jingwu, how dare you!!"

General Li Jingwu laughed loudly.

"Why wouldn't I dare? I dare, I certainly dare!"

"Lin Mo!"

Lin Mo was confused and a bit bewildered. "Here!"

"The major you applied for is Military Technology, right?"

"Yes, Chief Li."

General Li Jingwu smiled especially happily.

"When you filled out your college entrance exam application, this major was part of the early admission batch, did you know that?"

"I know..."

At this point, Lin Mo already roughly understood what General Li Jingwu meant.

General Li Jingwu continued with a chuckle: "The Military Technology major is a specialized talent program established by the China Supreme Military Region, and the university students recruited under it are reserve national defense students!"

"Before enrolling, everyone signed the relevant agreements!"

"After graduation, if there is no intention to pursue further studies, one must join the military and be awarded the rank of second lieutenant!"

"And as a leader of the Supreme Military Region, I also have a special power!"

General Li Jingwu scanned the crowd, exuding authority.

"For all national defense students across the country, as long as the Supreme Military Region needs them, they can be drafted into the military at any time, without any conditions!"

Everyone was speechless.

They had forgotten about this!

"Old Li, you have to know that a twisted melon is not sweet!"

Xiang Guangming looked at General Li Jingwu fiercely and said.

"If you dare to force Lin Mo to join the military, I will be at odds with you! From now on, we will never associate with each other again!"

Academician Lan Mingcheng also spoke in a harsh tone.

They knew that if they didn't struggle, Lin Mo would be snatched away by this General Li Jingwu in a matter of minutes!

"Hahahaha!"

"I, Old Li, have always liked to convince people with reason!"

"I never intended to use the power of forced conscription from the very beginning."

General Li Jingwu looked at Lin Mo and said confidently: "Lin Mo, the conditions that Old Xiang and Old Lan just mentioned, my Supreme Military Region definitely cannot provide."

"However, as the Chief of the General Armament Department of the Supreme Military Region, I have plenty of power and resources at my disposal!"

"First, I can specifically apply for national-level projects for you, with you as the person in charge, and you can establish your own research institute within the Supreme Military Region!"

"Although a newly established research institute will certainly be far inferior to their academician-level research institutes, all affairs will be decided by you, without any constraints holding you back!"

"Second, as long as you come to the General Armament Department, I will immediately appoint you as the Deputy Chief Engineer of the General Armament Department, and you will have the right to participate in the construction of all military technologies!"

"Third, after you have military status, I will specifically commend you, and with your contribution to China's military industry, it is completely enough to be awarded a first-class merit!"

"Then, I will do my best to ensure you are promoted as quickly as possible. In the future, if you follow me, I will also spare no effort to cultivate you, ensuring you reach a high position of real power!"

"I wonder if you are satisfied with these conditions?"

"I will not force you; you can choose for yourself!"

These conditions were laid out.

Even Xiang Guangming and Academician Lan Mingcheng were stunned.

This General Li Jingwu could be said to have tilted all the resources and power in his hands to the maximum extent!

Many of the conditions were not currently held by General Li Jingwu.

Rather, they were things he needed to fight for.

One layer of meaning in this is that what General Li Jingwu did was not just a promise, but a stance.

A stance to cultivate Lin Mo as his successor!

Lin Mo listened to these conditions.

He became even more confused.

The conditions given by General Li Jingwu were actually far less favorable than those of the other two academicians.

For example, building a research institute for him, that was truly nowhere near being realized.

Moreover, going to the Supreme Military Region would certainly not be as free as other research institutes.

In his second life, although he wanted to continue to strive for the rise of China, he also hoped to find opportunities to enjoy life properly.

After all, the system gave too much, and he, as the host, did not need to risk his life like before.

You have to know that in his previous life, he was in his thirties, and let alone a wife, he hadn't even touched a woman's hand!

The vast and beautiful landscapes of the motherland had only been seen on his phone!

"Leaders, could I have a few days to consider this?"

Lin Mo ultimately decided to think twice before acting, and would go back to ask his mentor, Professor Ai, for advice.

"Good, it is indeed necessary to consider it carefully!"

Upon hearing this, the three big shots agreed readily.

They each had their own calculations, and in these few days, they would do their best to mobilize all their contacts and resources to increase their bargaining chips, and they must win Lin Mo over to their side!

"These technical materials of Lin Mo will be temporarily kept by our Supreme Military Region!"

"Lock down the laboratory completely and implement military control!"

"Everyone present must sign an SSS-level confidentiality agreement today, and must immediately go to the Supreme Military Region for confidentiality training and spy testing!"

"In an emergency, one must act accordingly; please forgive us!"

General Li Jingwu instructed the school leaders of the University of Science and Technology of China.

President Lu Qi smiled bitterly and said: "Chief Li, it's easy for us who are present, just these twenty or so people."

"But there are thousands of people at the test site, so confidentiality work is hard to do!"

General Li Jingwu replied with a smile: "Just continue to handle the confidentiality matters according to the established requirements; those people at the test site are not important."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qi was a bit confused.

"Not important? There are so many people observing at the test site, it's impossible to guard against everyone. Even if confidentiality work is done, leakage can be said to be inevitable. How can it not be important?"

General Li Jingwu laughed loudly.

"You, oh you, Old Lu, after so many years, you still haven't caught on!"

"What I want is for them to leak it! Furthermore, I also want to give them a push, add some fuel to the fire, and let them leak a bit more!"
