"Ling An, I need you to guarantee that you will not tell anyone else about the alien race you see. Your family members also requested the same." Zhou Yang said seriously.

Ling An was stunned and nodded immediately.

"But General Zhou Yang, why is this? Why don't you tell the public the true face of the alien race? The alien race mentioned in the textbook only has a disgusting four-legged reptile monster, which is completely different from that, um, the demon."

This is indeed Ling An’s question, because before that, he could only see the same kind of alien race from all the channels he could access. The thing looked like the licker in the old movie "Resident Evil", and the label below was directly an alien race.

Judging from General Zhou Yang's meaning, it seems that the alien race is just a general term. In addition to the alien race that is like a licker, there are also demons and other types.

"You don't have to worry about this. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, just do as you do." President Zhou Yang said.

"oh."

Ling An was a little disappointed. He thought he could get access to such knowledge that he could not usually get.

"If you really want to know, it's not without negotiation." President Zhou Yang changed the subject.

Ling An raised his eyebrows,

"General, you said."

"Boy, are you interested in joining the Glorious Army?" General Zhou Yang grinned.

Ling An had an illusion, as if at this moment, General Zhou Yang changed from a gentle middle-aged man to a rude and wild man.

“No interest.”

“…”

If you need to join the Glorious Army to know these things, Ling An will firmly restrain his curiosity.

"Ling An, men should have great ambitions, defend their country, and make achievements..."

“No interest.”

“…”

"General Zhou Yang," Ling An smiled and said, "Our Federation is so short of people. Do you need your grand chief to recruit people for the Glorious Army?"

There was no hint of embarrassment on Zhou Yang's face.

"Ling An, I'm serious." President Zhou Yang stood up, "I've seen your grades. Your comprehensive quality is very good. You can be admitted to a prestigious school. Besides, I also saw your previous response. The first time I faced a foreign race, being able to perform so calmly also proves your ability."

"As a student, I will only sit in the office or do business in the future. I will not have the ability to join the Glorious Army to fight the war." Ling An said with a smile.

"Don't laugh, I hope you join the Glorious Army. This is the second thing I want to say." Zhou Yang's face was serious.

"You can fully know what I'm talking about below: after the Fortress era began, our education has also undergone tremendous changes. If it were in the past, you would not have had a few physical training classes in a semester, but now it is one of the important indicators for your college entrance examination."

"This is just one example. I want to tell you that current education is actually a kind of selection, which can show the potential of some people in the early stages. This is why, both registration for military academy and the Glorious Army Training Corps need to look at the college entrance examination results."

"Every year, defense officials in various places will discover some talents and persuade them to join the Glorious Army Training Corps, of course, they will also be recommended."

"The reason for doing this is also because of limited resources, and it is necessary to ensure that sufficient talent is good to use limited resources."

"And your comprehensive score is second in the entire Yuanyang City, so I can be regarded as following the rules."

Ling An listened silently to General Zhou Yang's words.

The supply of the soldiers of the Glorious Army seemed to be divided into two parts. Some of them were students from various military academies who chose to join the Glorious Army after graduation, and some were trained through the corps.

He is not too unfamiliar with this, because Ling Zhiyuan joined the Glorious Army Training Corps.

Am I second?... I was silently complaining in my heart, Ling An asked carefully:

"General Zhou Yang, then, this invitation is just an invitation, right?"

President Zhou Yang glanced at him and sighed softly:

"Yes, you can accept it or choose not to."

"Then I won't accept it."

Just kidding, with your own grades, it is absolutely fine to go to a top-level school. Ling An’s ideal is to be a leader, make a lot of money, hire the best medical team for Ling Xuan to treat the disease, so that his family can live a good life comfortably.

Defend your country? Make achievements?

Let's leave it to those who have lofty ambitions! Ling Anke did not forget a statistical data he once saw:

The Glorious Army soldiers who came out of the Glorious Army Training Corps were several times higher than those who joined the Glorious Army after graduating from the military academy. At the same time, the same is true for the mortality rate.

It is said that every hundred graduates of the same training regiment can only survive about seventeen years later...

"Okay, if you don't accept it, I can't force you." President Zhou Yang was a little helpless, "But as a condition of early invitation, if you accept it, I will guarantee that your family will receive the best treatment, including your sister. The Federation will come forward to contact the best medical team in the world for her, and all the costs will be borne by the Federation. Even if your sister's disease is a new variant, you should have the opportunity to be cured."

"What I'm talking about is healing, not temporary inhibition."

Ling An was silent for a moment.

To be honest, he was moved.

My sister Ling Xuan is the treasure of their whole family. Although she doesn’t say this girl, everyone in her family knows her pain.

From childhood to adulthood, Ling Xuan tried to commit suicide three times because she didn't want to add burden to her family. Each time she was discovered and stopped by her family. The most dangerous time was that she took an excessive amount of sleeping pills. If her elder brother Ling Zhiyuan hadn't discovered her in time, she would have been able to rescue her to the hospital.

Even though regular treatments every month can ensure her life is worry-free, her illness will cause great pain throughout the body. In the past, Ling Xuan often cried in pain.

But since he was rescued from his last suicide, Ling Xuan never cried in front of them again.

So Ling An knew that Ling Xuan looked happy on the surface and didn't want to worry his family. And if he could have the chance to heal him, Ling An would definitely not want to miss it.

but……

"Thank you, General Zhou Yang, for your kindness. I still don't really want to join the Glorious Army." Ling An stood up and bowed to General Zhou Yang.

No matter what, people gave themselves a chance to choose.

"Oh, I respect your decision. If you change your mind, just call the phone on this business card." Mr. Zhou Yang sighed and handed Ling An a business card.

Ling An hesitated for a moment, took the business card, and put it in his pocket.

President Zhou Yang didn't say anything else, walked out of the room with Ling An and said to Ling Zhiyuan who was waiting outside:

"Mr. Ling, since Zhiyuan is no longer in trouble, I will leave first. There are indeed some things that I need to deal with." President Zhou Yang smiled gently again.

"Thank you, President Zhou, for your care."

"Okay, you guys should take a break early, too."

President Zhou Yang is gone.

"Xiao An, why don't you go home first? I won't go to work tomorrow, I'll be here to stay tonight." Ling Zhiyuan said.

After thinking about it, Ling An nodded.

"Okay, I'll go back first, so that mom and Xiaoxuan won't worry."

"Oh, it was fine, how could it have encountered a terrorist attack? The damn Fallen God Association." Ling Zhiyuan said angrily.

When contacting his family, Ling An, as directed by General Zhou Yang, did not say the real reason for Ling Zhiyuan's injury, but said it was a terrorist attack.

Of course, this crime was naturally attributed to the Fallen God Society, which is said to be still active in the dark.

"Fortunately, my brother has no worries about his life. It is a misfortune to be able to retire with this." Ling An also sighed.

Of course, he would not tell his family the real reason.

The Asian Defense Chief is kind and kind, but Ling An will not take his words as if he is in his ears.

When he returned home, he told his mother and sister the news of Ling Zhiyuan's hospitalization. Of course, Ling An told them that there was no difference between what Ling Xiangming knew.

When Ling Xuan and Yu Shuwan heard that Ling Zhiyuan was pulled into the terrorist attack of the Fallen Gods Association, Ling Xuan and Yu Shuwan couldn't help but feel a little surprised and worried, but when she heard that Ling Zhiyuan was out of danger and could still retire, she was relieved.

"So, brother doesn't have to leave us?" The little girl's tone was a little joyful.

After rubbing her head, Ling An smiled on the surface, but sighed in his heart and said:

"yes."

...

After leaving the hospital, General Zhou Yang went directly to the local defense bureau.

After the fortress era began, the defense bureaus established in various places not only served as defense at any time, but also took into account the preparations for reserve military forces and the logistics of serving dirty soldiers in service.

The office of the Asian Defense Chief is naturally not in Yuanyang City. President Zhou Yang came here temporarily, so his office is also the office of the local defense commander who was temporarily misappropriated.

In the office, General Zhou Yang activated the office's defense monitoring system, then turned on the military Tianxun and sat at the desk. Adjutant Qin Cheng stood straight next to him.

In front of General Zhou Yang, there is a floating virtual screen, and below the screen is the gray box containing the dark red crystals made from the seventh alien.

Soon, several people appeared on the screen. If there were others here, they would definitely exclaim, because the first one was the Speaker of the Federal Parliament: Snow Clementi!

The others are:

European Defense Chief, Milton Grover!

African Defense Chief, Nelson Algeron!

North American Defense Chief, Grace Nat!

Ernesto Gaal, Chief of Defense of South America!

Oceania Defense Chief, Amizojo!
