The sword of the four leaders

This child has now grown up, no longer the young man who had not yet graduated from military school on the European battlefield years ago. Like the young officers of the empire, he is loyal and fervent, but he has yet to understand a fundamental truth: to govern a country well, mere loyalty and fervor are far from sufficient

"Come in," Duan Qirui said without raising his head

... ...

When Li Xiaoting, reported to the First Chinese Armored Division of the SS, he seemed to stand out as an alternative. Among a group of SS officers dressed in crisp black uniforms and shining leather boots, Li Xiaoting, in his dark blue military uniform, appeared particularly conspicuous

Li Xiaoting let out a soft sigh; the son of the Führer, this seemingly glorious halo, in reality, is a tremendous responsibility and also a significant burden for himself

Long live the National Defense Army!" Li Xiaoting saluted Duan Qirui with a straight military salute

However, soon, Li Xiaoting will truly witness what the sword of a leader is. When a stalemate occurs on the battlefield, these selfless soldiers of the empire will once again demonstrate how to unleash their astonishing energy!

The telephone line of the 108th Army's 216th Division had just been connected when the phone rang. A staff officer picked up the receiver and immediately spoke respectfully into the phone, saying, "Yes, please hold on." He then hurried over to Division Commander Wu Yuan and whispered, "It's a call from the Supreme Commander."

"Xiao Ting." Seeing Li Xiao Ting's expression, Duan Qirui smiled and said: "Do you feel very wronged in your heart right now? But sometimes, one cannot always act according to one's own will. Especially given your unique status, this is even more predetermined. Do you know? We, who have followed your father through life and death, have contributed to the current state of the nation. Do you know how much your father has sacrificed? We will absolutely not allow our hard work to be in vain, nor will we let this country revert to the old path of the Qing Dynasty. You are the son of the leader, and this country will eventually be handed over to you. Therefore, not only we, but you must also cherish your life to the greatest extent!"

M. Hetushucom .com Duan Qirui immediately put down his pen, smiled, and approached, looking up and down at the major officer in front of him. He smiled and said: "Li Xiaoting is indeed Li Xiaoting, much more impressive than the name Li Jian. Your attire is also much more handsome than the Führer in his youth. Come, Xiaoting, have a seat"

Report to Your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief, Chinese Empire National Defense Army, 108th Army, 216th Division, 332nd Regiment, Assault First Battalion, Major Li Jian is reporting to you! With a resounding voice, a gallant major of the National Defense Army strode in.

Li Xiaoting still holds certain views regarding the Waffen-SS field troops. These members of the SS, whether officers or soldiers, seem to possess an innate arrogance. They regard themselves as superior to all, seemingly dismissing everyone except for the Führer. Moreover, on the battlefield, their fighting spirit far exceeds that of meticulous tactical arrangements

"Commander-in-Chief, I understand," Li Xiaoting stood up and adjusted his hat. "I will take good care of myself, but if any unexpected situation arises on the battlefield, I will be the first to charge in!"

Clearly, Xie Hui also noticed this. He hurriedly had someone find a set of black SS major's uniform for Li Xiaoting to change into. Xie Hui went through considerable trouble to arrange for Li Xiaoting. After much deliberation, he decided to place him in his own direct guard battalion, as this was the only way to maximize the protection of Li Xiaoting's safety

This is a contingent from the 108th Army of the reserve group of the Chinese Empire, urgently dispatched to the five countries of India for pacification operations.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Li Xiaoting maintained his usual demeanor, sitting upright without even a slight movement of his body

In fact, he understands Duan Qirui's intentions; if it were not for the fact that he is the son of the leader, who would care about where he goes. These imperial dignitaries all consider themselves as potential successors to the leader, fearing any misstep on their part.

Duan Qirui, who was reviewing documents, suddenly heard a gentle knocking sound at the door

Even if Wu Yuan were to be killed, he would never have imagined that this captain, who went by the alias Li Jian, was actually the son of the Empire's leader, Li Guoyong, known as Li Xiaoting

Duan Qirui couldn't help but smile a little; this Li Xiaoting was completely different from the leader. Ever since he had followed the leader, he had never seen the leader sit upright and serious. No matter what major issues arose in the country, the leader always appeared so indifferent.

"Inform Li Jian of the Assault Battalion that Commander-in-Chief Duan Qirui wishes to see him and instruct him to report immediately." After hanging up the phone, Wu Yuan said loudly, then he curiously asked the staff beside him, "How could the Commander-in-Chief want to see Li Jian?"

Wu Yuan was taken aback; just as his feet touched the ground, he received a call from Commander-in-Chief Duan Qirui. He hurriedly stepped forward, took the call, and after listening to just a few sentences, his brows furrowed, followed by frequent nods.

Long live the National Defense Army! Duan Qirui returned the salute, staring blankly at the back of Li Xiaoting as he strode out.

Li Xiaoting was taken aback, and he protested loudly: "Commander-in-Chief, I graduated from the Infantry Department of the Army Academy. Although I have had some exposure to armored units, that is not what I studied. I ask the Commander-in-Chief to consider this."

Those fervent officers of the Party and the SS, not understanding what a National Defense Army officer was doing among them, occasionally whispered behind his back. What kind of organization is the SS field unit? They are the sword of the leader, the sharpest dagger of the leader, the invincible troops within the imperial army. They are brave and passionate, disdainful of the enemy's life, and also contemptuous of their own lives. Now, with the arrival of this National Defense Army officer, can he measure up?

He pulled Li Xiaoting down to sit and, seeing that Li Xiaoting was still sitting up straight, couldn't help but laugh: "Xiaoting, when you are with your Uncle Duan, you don't have to be so formal anymore!"

But do they not realize that this is also a tremendous burden for themselves

Xiao Ting, the reason I called you here this time is to discuss a small matter. Duan Qirui cleared his throat and said: "Currently, the Chinese Armored Division is severely lacking in officers. Xie Hui has come to me several times to express his grievances. Xiao Ting, I think you should go help Xie Hui for a while."

A convoy of military vehicles approached, and before the vehicles had even come to a complete stop, a large number of defense soldiers jumped down from them. As soon as their feet touched the ground, they immediately formed into neat ranks under the commander's shouts
