Above the Galaxy

Chapter 895 - 558: Lord!

"They come because of you and fight for you. If you cannot promise them a future and truly make them your own, how can they be willing to live and die for you?"

"Don’t worry, and don’t hesitate. Since you’ve chosen this path, you must put aside your burdens and move forward courageously."

"Tang Fei, do you know? You have no way out now, and neither do I. No one does."

"I understand."

Tang Fei’s expression was serious, his gaze deepened as he looked at Xun Pu and said, "I approve this point."

Xun Pu quickly stood up, bowed deeply to Tang Fei, and said loudly, "Greeting, my Lord."

"Please rise, Mr. Xun." Tang Fei reached out to help him up.

Xun Pu returned to his seat and looked at Tang Fei, saying, "Second point, with frequent conflicts ahead, there are many aspects that need careful discussion and weighing. Only with strategic planning can we achieve victory from a thousand miles away. We need a military brain, a united effort. I propose establishing a Strategy Department."

"I agree." Tang Fei nodded, "You will prepare for this, and also you will be the first head of the Strategy Department."

"Thank you, my Lord." Xun Pu stood and bowed again.

This time, Tang Fei did not reach out to help him.

He deserved it.

"Third point, in modern warfare, information comes first. Whether we dismantle Red Moon City’s protective shield through supernatural means or spread information using superior technology to counter rumors, information security and hacker skills are critical, even decisive in determining the outcome of a war."

"Currently, the Righteous Army’s team, led by Miss Si Yu from the Lu Family, consists of dozens of tech personnel responsible for information security work, including network monitoring, information gathering, and precise strikes... They handle everything."

"Without organization and systemic structure, we’re entirely relying on Miss Si Yu and her team’s exceptional skills to achieve victory."

"However, when we occupy more cities and govern more populations and resources, this is clearly insufficient and prone to very fatal errors."

"Therefore, I suggest establishing the Heavenly Mechanism Management Bureau, led by Miss Si Yu as the first Director, directly reporting to you, my Lord. The Bureau should include the Information Division, Security Division, and Strike Division..."

"Once the Heavenly Mechanism Management Bureau reaches a certain scale, we can consider upgrading it to the Information Security Department."

Tang Fei pondered for a moment, then spoke, "I agree. But Si Yu is reclusive by nature... I’ll need to talk to her and see what her attitude is."

With Tang Fei’s understanding of Si Yu, she is only interested in hacker and mechanical technology, likely having no interest in holding an official position.

Making her Director is like putting a shackle on her.

She would feel uncomfortable.

"How about I handle this matter? I’ll have a talk with Si Yu, maybe achieve unexpected results?" Phoenix looked at Tang Fei, volunteering.

Tang Fei understood Phoenix’s good intention and was deeply moved, smiling as he said, "Alright, your persuasion skills are better than mine, you persuade Si Yu to become the first Director of the Heavenly Mechanism Management Bureau."

Tang Fei had once, accompanied by Si Yu, taken an elevator deep into Lu Ban Mountain.

He had seen the Heavenly Mechanism Platform and knew the Lu Clan had the Heavenly Mechanism Laboratory and Tianji Institute...

Xun Pu had considered even this aspect, showing his understanding and respect for the Lu Clan.

Naming it with the Lu Clan’s ’Heavenly Mechanism,’ when Tang Fei transforms his house into a nation...

How illustrious those two words would be!

Even if Si Yu disagrees, the Lu Family could not refuse.

He was calculating not only Si Yu but the entire Lu Family behind her.

He proposed a condition that the Lu Family could not refuse.

By the time the Heavenly Mechanism Management Bureau upgrades to the Information Security Department, wouldn’t the Minister’s position be reserved for the Lu Family?

"In terms of persuasion skills, no one can be your opponent," Phoenix retorted.

Xun Pu knew it was time to leave, the couple started exchanging banter.

He cupped his hands and said, "I’ll first go ponder the affairs of the Strategy Department, and once the plan is ready, I’ll consult with the Lord."

After speaking, he quickly disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"This is a top-tier smart person." Phoenix gazed at Xun Pu’s departing back, praising.

"More than just smart?" Tang Fei grasped Phoenix’s small hand, eyes filled with tenderness, and said, "Calm in danger, unaffected by surprises, act when the opportunity arises... Have I told you he’s the second general of the Dushan Army to defect to us?"

"If not for him mediating and smoothing, Shen Qingping alone couldn’t have controlled the Dushan Army situation, let alone lead the entire Dushan Army to support the Righteous Army... Mainly because he relented and gave Shen Qingping the Tiger Talisman for dispatching troops."

"So, just now you intentionally evaluated him publicly, making sure everyone knows his ability?"

Tang Fei smiled and nodded, saying, "We must make everyone truly convinced. We don’t have much time for cohesion, we’re thrust directly into the battle of life and death."

"Therefore, speeding up understanding and strengthening trust is essential. In a team, if you don’t trust me, and I suspect you... how can this battle be fought?"

"He also knows he passed the evaluation, so after the meeting ended, he immediately requested the establishment of the Strategy Department... Hmm, his goals are clear."

"He wants it, so I give it to him. I’m just afraid he doesn’t dare to imagine, that would be disappointing." Tang Fei said.

Xun Pu proposed establishing the Strategy Department, Tang Fei agreed in less than three seconds.

Not only that, but also entrusted him with the prestigious position of the first head of the Strategy Department.

You dare to want, I dare to give.

I treat you as a national elite, what do you use to reciprocate?

Shine bright, burn passionately, my Minister.

"How could one be disappointing? Without mentioning other things, just talk about how he’s held Dushan for decades, not only surviving but thriving... that’s wisdom."

"Indeed." Tang Fei acknowledged, "I’ve seen his resume; he offended such important figures yet still got ’assigned’ to be the Dushan Army’s commander... It proves those above didn’t want to bury his military talent."

"You’ve really found a treasure." Phoenix teased.

"Indeed." Tang Fei held Phoenix’s hand tightly, kissed it at his lips, and said, "So I must hold on tight, can’t let her slip away."

"..."

This guy...

I’m congratulating you on having ’Zhang Liang,’ what are you doing?

Seeing Phoenix’s blush, Tang Fei also knew it’s not the time to talk about this, but not saying it would leave him uneasy.

"News from Phoenix City... Xin Huai and Teacher Mei want to take the Starship to Rui An, but were intercepted by Director Guo Nu of the Security Bureau..."

"What?" Phoenix’s face changed drastically, exclaimed, "Shen Wuxiang is going to move against the Sheng Family?"
