Looting the life force of demons to forge a golden body Martial God-Chapter 393 - 380: The Ownership of Military Merits Authority, Lin Zhong Calls, Core Competitiveness!

Chapter 393: Chapter 380: The Ownership of Military Merits Authority, Lin Zhong Calls, Core Competitiveness!

As soon as this issue was raised, the meeting room immediately fell silent. The three commanders stopped speaking and began to communicate through sound transmission with their lips slightly moving.

Seeing this situation, Chu Feng immediately understood that he had struck a major artery.

The main conflict was right in front of them.

From what the commanders meant, they wanted to take advantage of Chu Feng’s abilities to compete for an admirable rating in their performance appraisals, which naturally would involve a need for military merits.

Military merits are the most important standard for evaluating officers, the more, the better—this was what Chu Feng learned from Secretary Wang. fгeewebnovёl.com

To ensure his own interests, Chu Feng straightforwardly laid out his terms, saying, "While at the Far East Defense Line, the military merits I earned are divided into ten portions.

"Commander Lin takes four portions, as the senior commander of the Far East Defense Line whose leadership merit is foremost; he will redistribute them among his subordinates.

"The logistics and manufacturing department takes one portion, because they developed and manufactured a series of suitable equipment specifically for my requirements.

"The Staff Department takes one portion, as they provided me with detailed battle plans based on my intelligence; I simply had to execute them to complete the mission of annihilating the enemy.

"The warriors conducting post-battle cleanup take one portion, since rounding up the surviving Demon Beasts is somewhat dangerous, and the collection and processing of Demon Beast materials are quite tedious.

"The secretariat responsible for centralized coordination and liaison takes half a portion; without the secretariat to connect the dots, this demon eradication process would not function.

"The remaining two and a half portions are mine.

"Commanders, do you think this distribution method is reasonable?"

"..."

In fact, Lin Zhong initially didn’t bring up the matter of military merits at all, letting Chu Feng dispose of them as he wished.

But once Secretary Wang informed Chu Feng of the importance of military merits, Chu Feng directly took forty percent of the total military merits, a full six million plus, and sent them to Lin Zhong through Secretary Wang.

Chu Feng believed in repaying kindness with kindness and dealing directly with grievances; he could not comfortably accept the goodwill of others without reciprocating.

Lin Zhong had been exceptionally good to him, and previously, he did not know how to repay Lin Zhong.

Now that he had the chance, he naturally wanted to reciprocate the kindness.

As for Chu Feng, the remaining twenty-five percent of his military merits in his account, amounting to around four million, was more than he could spend in a short time.

Moreover, he would continue to "exterminate the Demon Clan," and military merits would keep flowing into his hands.

He couldn’t possibly spend it all!

Yet the three commanders didn’t see it that way now.

After hearing Chu Feng’s method of distribution, they were somewhat speechless.

Reasonable? Reasonable, my foot!

First of all, giving Chu Feng the authority to distribute the military merits was something they found difficult to accept.

The military had its own established procedures for distributing military merits, which had been smoothly operational for many years; to suddenly change this method was bound to cause some trouble.

Besides, for Commander Lin to take forty percent alone was a bit much, but if he went on to redistribute it among his subordinates, then it would definitely be too little.

Because during war times, it had always been the senior officers who took the lion’s share of the military merits!

According to past practice, the top leaders along with the officers shared at least sixty percent or more of the total!

As the saying goes, to make a horse work, you must feed it grass.

The military merits required for officers to promote ranks are countless times higher than those for the rank and file; forty percent is clearly not enough, and some officers will be dissatisfied.

...

The three commanders consulted through sound transmission for a while, and just as Li Zhong was about to speak, the ring of a communication terminal suddenly filled the meeting room.

Everyone looked towards Zhong Kedi, only to see him pull out the terminal, his expression suddenly turning strange.

"It’s Lin Zhong’s."

Zhong Kedi looked at Li Zhong and Lu Jin, waiting for them to nod before he answered the call. Instantly, Lin Zhong’s holographic image appeared on the information terminal above.

He teased, "Little Didi, long time no see, how have you been lately?"

"..." Zhong Kedi’s eye twitched as he cursed with a laugh, "Old Lin, if you keep calling me that, I’m going to lose it!"

"Lose it? I’m so scared!" Lin Zhong scoffed, waving his hand nonchalantly before asking, "Have you met my subordinate, Captain Chu Feng? How about it, wouldn’t you say ’the favored son of heaven’ isn’t an exaggeration?"

"..."

Zhong Kedi said speechlessly, "You called at just the right time, Commander Li, Commander Lu, and I were just discussing with Captain Chu."

At first, Lin Zhong didn’t notice the others and just focused on Zhong Kedi’s face. Hearing this, he looked around and exclaimed in surprise:

"Ah, Commander Li, Commander Lu, sorry for interrupting your important business!"

Li Zhong waved his hand and smiled, "No worries, no worries."

Suddenly, Lu Jin asked, "Commander Lin, did you really give the authority over military merits directly to Captain Chu Feng?"

That question was not easy to hear and was quite loaded.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhong immediately raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, "Yes, I gave it to him."

Without waiting for Lu Jin to ask further, he burst into laughter and said, "Can’t help it, everyone else under me is just trash, none have the abilities of Little Chu!

"If anyone else could do what he does, I would’ve handed the authority over to them long ago, and happily so.

"Unfortunately, those guys just can’t!"

"..."

His words were full of regret, yet they felt like cold water poured directly over the heads of the three Commanders.

They were just fussing over whom to give the authority to, completely overlooking that it couldn’t naturally be given to anyone else but Chu Feng—

He possessed an unmatched core competitiveness!

Besides him, who else could treat demons’ defenses as if they were nothing, come and go as they please, and still be able to deploy large-scale lethal bio-weapons in enemy territory?

Additionally, his organizational relationship still remained at the Far East Defense Line, and his military order description was just "specially dispatched warrior."

There were absolutely no hard and fast rules about performing tasks!

If they didn’t give him the authority, he could completely go on strike, do nothing for a month or two at most, then just dust off his pants and leave.

Excuses? There were plenty, guaranteed to ensure that they wouldn’t reap a single point of military merit.

Realizing this, Lu Jin immediately laughed heartily, "Commander Lin is right, we need to support capable, outstanding young men who can achieve what others can’t."

Lin Zhong nodded in satisfaction and said with a laugh, "Commander Lu sums it up perfectly. I, Old Lin, am a rough man, I can’t express it as eloquently as you do!"

As he spoke, he turned his head, looking back at Chu Feng, lifted the card in his hand, and cursed with a smile, "You little rascal, just leave already, but why throw this thing at me?

"Six million military merits, be careful I don’t charge you with bribery!"

Chu Feng recognized it at a glance, it was the military merit record card he had entrusted to Secretary Wang to give to Lin Zhong before he left.

He smiled and said, "Don’t be too modest. I need it for the upcoming evaluation of outstanding officers, the higher your position, the higher I rise, right?

"I’m still counting on clinging to your coattails!"

Lin Zhong shook his head helplessly, pointing at him and said, "You rascal! Fine, I’ll accept it this time, but don’t send any more after this.

"If there’s a next time, I’ll throw you and your card out together!"
