Free Web NovelChapter 1414: Chapter 1414: Wei Family
Inside Camp 2, there’s also a reshuffling happening, but this transition isn’t as decisive or rapid as Chu Jiaojiao’s actions in Camp 1; almost in the blink of an eye, Chu Jiaojiao seized the command of the team.
Chu Jiaojiao was able to swiftly complete the internal integration for three reasons: firstly, her own strong abilities, secondly, her methods hit directly at the core—though they seemed straightforward and forceful, they were the most suitable for her at the moment. Thirdly, it was also because of her background as a member of the Chu Family, who have always been the Guardian God of the Alliance. Not to mention Grandma Chu and Second Aunt Chu, both Commanders of the First Army, Chu Jiaojiao didn’t let this identity constrain her; instead, she used it flexibly, leveraging it to win recognition from students participating at the scene, shifting the awareness of the Chu Family toward herself.
Thus, with some bold moves, Chu Jiaojiao swiftly secured command of the camp.
From then on, the issue of where the overall command of Camp 1 belonged was no longer in dispute.
However—
The situation in Camp 2 is quite complicated. The leader of Camp 2 is Wei Xiaoxiong from the Alliance First Military Academy. This person has both strength and skill but also an old problem—that is, his mind is extremely narrow.
Ahem...
To put it simply, his mind is barely bigger than the eye of a needle, yet, despite such a small heart, he likes to act magnanimously. If you don’t provoke him, it’s fine, but if you do, then it becomes a bit troublesome.
When Wei Xiaoxiong entered the competition arena and secured the position of Commander for Camp 2, he was internally delighted. Of course, outwardly, he maintained an air of nonchalance, pretending that it was the system’s decision, not his own. He then immediately gathered his subordinates, pulling all the officers together for a meeting.
At the meeting,
Wei Xiaoxiong, in front of over a hundred people, stated that he would do his utmost to lead everyone to victory in the camp battle and encouraged everyone to work together.
After this mobilization, many people did not have significant objections to this Commander. He was a top student from the First Army, which is the number one-ranked military school in the Alliance, truly deserving of its position. A top student from the First Army as their leader could hardly lead to major conflicts.
As a leader, Wei Xiaoxiong possessed a strong ability to inspire passion among team members. After a pre-match pep talk, the enthusiasm of the officers in Camp 2 was immediately intensified, and everyone, shaking their fists, confidently expressed that they would certainly support the Commander’s directions.
With a perfectly timed smile on his face, Wei Xiaoxiong’s gaze inadvertently swept to a corner where the inconspicuous Yue Qiyuan stood.
Then.
Wei Xiaoxiong suddenly said, "Now, there are several tasks that require everyone’s assistance to complete. As the saying goes, ’Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will not be in danger in a hundred battles.’ We currently know nothing about our enemy’s information, and they probably don’t know about us either. So intelligence gathering is something that must be prioritized. Hence, I announce that Squad Leader Yue Qiyuan and Squad Leader Liang Youqing will coordinate with each other to gather intelligence, while Squad Leader Xie Fenghua is responsible for border defense, and Squad Leader of Company 6..."
After assigning the tasks, Wei Xiaoxiong continued, "The specific implementation plans, policies, and strategies need to be decided by yourselves or discussed with me."
After listening, everyone felt that the tasks assigned by him were quite normal. If you want to win the camp battle, these things must be arranged.
The chaotic and disorderly scene within the camp was methodically organized by his arrangements, without rush or confusion, one step at a time. Wei Xiaoxiong’s decisions, instead, revealed his demeanor as a general.
Yue Qiyuan remained low-key. When he was assigned a task by Wei Xiaoxiong, he quietly accepted it without displaying any displeasure or resistance, and instead seriously accepted the task, solemnly assuring Wei Xiaoxiong, "Commander, rest assured, I will definitely complete it."
With a smile plastered on his face, Wei Xiaoxiong performed his public facade flawlessly and even raised a hand to pat Yue Qiyuan’s shoulder, saying, "Yue Qiyuan, you are strong. Your comprehensive ability ranks among the top in our Camp 2, and I trust you. Keep it up. If you need my support, just say the word."
Upon hearing this, Yue Qiyuan’s eyes lit up, and he said, "There is one request. The weapons and equipment on my side are too outdated, and their destructive power isn’t strong. Commander, can we have them reequipped?"
Are you not being too forward?
The corners of Wei Xiaoxiong’s mouth twitched, but his face still wore the same smiling expression, saying, "Regarding this, I’ll have the person managing the weapon storage sort out an inventory list. By then, everyone will be reallocated equipment according to their expertise."
Saying a bunch of nonsense, in short, means no, not going to provide it?
Regarding this, Yue Qiyuan had clearly already been prepared. This First Army’s Wei Xiaoxiong wasn’t someone Yue Qiyuan hadn’t known. Previously, they all studied on Nami Star, although not in the same class, they were familiar with each other. And the circle on the Main Star isn’t that big; who doesn’t know each other’s situation?
The Yue Family serves as the Military Department’s Chief of Supplies, managing all six major Legion warehouses for the entire Alliance. The Wei Family, however, is neither from the military nor affiliated with the Alliance’s Administrative Court, but has numerous connections on both sides.
With the military, the Commander of the Alliance Fourth Legion, Lin Jun, is married to a Wei Family daughter.
On the administrative side now? The Administrator of Nami Star, Edson Hode, is also married to a Wei Family daughter, and it’s not just one daughter married into the Hode family; Wei Xiaoxiong’s aunt, along with a cousin, are also married into the Hode Family.
In summary, the Wei Family has many daughters, and many are well-married, which also enables the Wei family’s network of connections to be very extensive, riding on this advantage, the Wei family’s business is thriving.
Indeed.
The Wei Family is in the energy business and controls several important energy planets within the Alliance. Of course, since energy is so crucial, it cannot be dominated entirely by businessmen, so the energy planets the Wei Family possesses are only a small portion, insufficient for a single Wei Family to control the entire energy lifeline of the Alliance.
But, even so, the Wei Family is extremely, extremely, extremely wealthy. Families like the Yue Family with their impressive-sounding title are frankly just warehouse custodians. No matter how big the military warehouse is, it can’t enrich its custodian’s pocket.
The Wei Family, however, is different. Everything in the Wei Family’s business goes directly into their own pockets.
Therefore, Wei Family members have a bit of pride in their bones. Anything they can’t accomplish, they use money to pave the way. If the money isn’t enough? Then they keep throwing it until the path is completely clear.
As one of the most gifted and powerful among the younger generation of the Wei Family, Wei Xiaoxiong has been heavily groomed by the family, and naturally has also picked up some of these traits.
Someone like Wei Xiaoxiong doesn’t really mingle well with the likes of Yue Qiyuan, Sheng Qingyan, and Shen Changqing.
