I will practice more in the United States
Chapter 284 The Youngest General
Hilbert Sheela barely had time to say hello to Leon and the other juniors before he hurried over to the last few people who came in.
Li Ang watched from a distance and asked Sheila nonchalantly:
"How many people's support does your father need to gain in order to surely defeat his opponents?"
"Honestly, this is not easy to quantify, but at least if we can win over three of the four big shots present today, it will be safer. Or, if we can win over two, it's also OK if the other side can't win over any. In short, we need more than one to tie, and more than two to gain the upper hand."
Sheila herself was not sure about the answer she gave. After all, there are differences between people, and the degree of support they provide also varies. It is not easy to divide them with simple numbers.
Li Ang nodded as if he understood, and then asked:
"Will the support of a major-general-rank officer from the military have any effect?"
Sheila smiled and replied in an exaggerated tone:
"Of course. After all, my dad isn't running for the US presidency. Since when did generals become so worthless? The rank of major general is not worse than any of these guys."
Hearing Li Ang ask this, Xila couldn't help but wonder if he had any connections in the military, but it was not a good idea to ask too much now. First, she was afraid that her hopes would be dashed, and second, if she could invite such a big figure, it would surely cost a huge price, which was not necessarily something Li Ang could afford.
After some sessions that even Li Ang found boring, the two sides finally started a bloody battle.
"Come on, let's go there too."
Li Ang raised his glass and suggested.
In fact, in such occasions, as a companion who was brought here to see the world, they would not go over, but Silla hesitated for only a moment, then took Li Ang's hand and walked over with him.
Seeing that Silla actually brought her male companions with her, Christina's eyes lit up. This was a good opportunity to attack her. If she could make her lose points in front of these people, it would definitely affect her father.
Even Hilbert Sheela was visibly stunned when he saw Leon following him, but he opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.
If someone comes forward to accuse his side at this time, others will only think that he is narrow-minded and irresponsible.
"Little boy, this may not be the area you should come to. There are adults talking over here. The buffet area over there may be more suitable for you."
Christina was the first to challenge Leon.
However, she deliberately did not use sarcastic words, but instead "persuaded" in a half-joking manner, which was of course also to gain points for herself.
Leon smiled and didn't answer her at all. Just as Christina felt that Leon's coming here was cheap, he also felt that it was cheap to talk to such a person.
Before Li Ang could speak, the man in the middle who was calmly sipping the white wine in his glass suddenly stood up.
The two people who were arguing incessantly had their mute buttons pressed all of a sudden. No one knew what had happened.
He walked towards Leon.
"What a coincidence! I didn't expect to see you here. I just said you looked familiar, but you've changed so much since last time that I didn't even recognize you."
Vasco Bolton gave a long explanation because he was afraid that Leon would feel resentful for not greeting him immediately.
But it's not his fault that he didn't recognize him. After all, the last time he met Li Ang, he was either wearing that unique protective suit or training clothes. It was really hard for people to connect him with the elegant and noble young man today.
Among the people here, the one with the biggest emotional fluctuations must be Christina.
Now she just wanted to pray that the voice she just spoke was not too loud and no one else heard it.
You know, even if these people are not familiar with each other, as long as they are in the same class, they will have an inexplicable sense of alliance, or it can be described as maintaining a common class status.
Therefore, if they heard me making sarcastic remarks to this person, their impression of me would probably drop to freezing point.
But how could this happen? How did this little bitch get attached to such a young and handsome guy?
Christina almost broke her back teeth.
Judging from the attitude of Mr. Vasco Bolton, it is obvious that he is on equal terms with Sheila's male companion. In this case, it can only mean that his father is a bigger figure.
Little did she know that Silla's reaction was not much better than hers, the only difference was that one was panic and the other was surprise.
But she was also very confused, because according to her understanding of Li Ang, he definitely didn't have any upper-class relatives in his family, otherwise he wouldn't have lived such a miserable life alone when he was a child.
In this situation, it can only be explained by Li Ang's own relationship. Could it be the major general in the military he just mentioned?
But this Mr. Vasco Bolton seems to also be a major general. He wouldn't be so enthusiastic towards Leon just because he knows a major general, right?
Or is it that this Mr. Vasco Bolton is Leon's relative?
In short, Silla's heart was also full of doubts, but she also knew that now was not the time to ask this.
On this side, Li Ang also greeted him.
"I just came here today to accompany my girlfriend to a cocktail party, just to have fun. I even got the invitation from them."
Li Ang did not hide the relationship between Xila and him. After all, he came here to support her, so naturally the closer the relationship, the better.
So, Vasco Bolton also came forward and greeted Sheila.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Sheila."
Seeing this scene, Christina, who was standing next to them like a minion, felt more sour than eating a ton of lemons.
After all, she didn't even dare to go up and talk to anyone, let alone have anyone say hello to her.
"Let me introduce you to my colleague in the army, Major General Li Ang. He just became an adult this year. I'm afraid it won't be long before he becomes the boss of an old man like me."
In fact, to be honest, Li Ang's rank is only equivalent to that of major general, but he is not a real major general, and he does not have as much power as a general.
However, the mutant warrior plan has always been confidential, so he naturally couldn't tell it in public.
Therefore, this was said, firstly to keep it confidential, and secondly to give Li Ang a better impression.
As soon as these words came out, they immediately set off a storm in the hearts of others. It's not that they haven't seen major generals before, but they wouldn't dare to dream of doing such a thing as a general who just turned 18.
Logically speaking, at this age, he should be just a new recruit.
However, Vasco Bolton himself is a senior military official, so it is impossible for him to joke with them about such things. So it can only mean one thing, that is, Leon is an extremely special talent, so there is the possibility of such an extraordinary promotion.
"Major General, is it him?"
Silla took a long time to finally accept this fact.
She originally thought that Li Ang needed to find some connections, but it turned out that he himself was the strongest connection.
In this situation, Li Ang is different from those big shots who were brought in reluctantly. The role he can play alone is completely equivalent to that of two people of the same level.
Even Xila's old father didn't know what to say at this moment. It seemed that every time he saw this young man, he would have a new surprise. How many identities did he have?
The topic of everyone's conversation then almost all revolved around Li Ang. As a major general who had just reached adulthood, anyone who was not a fool could see how great his potential was.
What Vasco Bolton just said, that Leon will be his boss in the future, was not a joke. It is very likely to happen.
And two people who knew more about this area had already begun to think of Le Ang as a mutant warrior. The main reason was that they really couldn't imagine what Le Ang had done to be able to become a general at this age.
If we have to say, X-level mutant warriors can really be considered one, and even if they don't have much power, no one dares to neglect them. No matter how high their status or how rich they are, their lives are fragile, but this group of mutant warriors happen to be the ones who can deprive others of their lives at will.
As for the final outcome of the party, there was absolutely no suspense. Hilbert Sheela, who had a son-in-law who was a major general, undoubtedly won the support of all the bigwigs present.
His mortal enemy was heartbroken. After all, before leaving, an important figure had reminded him to strengthen his discipline of his daughter and not to speak rudely to her anymore.
After this party, not only did he lose his chance in this election, but even his future elections would become much more difficult.
On the way back, they were still feeling like they were dreaming. Sheila had never imagined that the problem that she had been anxious about for months and had been busy with, but could never be solved, was actually solved just by taking Li Ang to a party. What a big deal.
However, she was certainly surprised at Li Ang's improved status.
She did not ask Li Ang how he got the rank of major general. In her opinion, Li Ang was always able to create many miracles.
Instead, Li Ang explained somewhat embarrassedly that he did not intentionally hide his identity from her, but he had just obtained this military rank not long ago, and it involved many parts that needed to be kept confidential and could not be publicized.
Hilbert Shearer naturally expressed his support and understanding for this. As a politician, he could better understand the value of Leon's military rank at this age.
He was very glad that he did not break up the couple in the beginning, otherwise he would have regretted it.
"What? You said your boyfriend is a major general? The problem we've been struggling with for months has been perfectly solved?"
Xila's girlfriends acted more exaggerated than each other.
"You can't monopolize this kind of thing. How about adding me? I can come and cheer you up."
What's worse, they just started to act naughty.
"Yes, if that doesn't work, we can listen outside the door."
In fact, even Li Ang himself felt a little emotional. No wonder countless people in this world cannot escape fame and fortune. The key is that these things are really useful. Money and power are both the best aphrodisiacs for men.
The problem that had troubled Silla for a long time was solved, and with the small massage that Li Ang gave her, her overall condition was visibly improved.
After finishing their work here, the two of them also prepared themselves and planned to go to the Alps for a trip.
Leon actually wanted to go to this place before, but not for tourism, but to look for a possible psychic crystal.
On the night when the whole group was wiped out [Unknown], Li Ang also inquired about the relevant information and found out that there was indeed a high probability that there was a star in the Alps, but the environment there was too harsh, and it was inconvenient for various facilities and personnel to go up there, so they had shelved the plan.
Li Ang also planned to take this opportunity to get another psychic crystal. After all, you would never have too many of these things. Each crystal could bring a visible improvement in his strength.
To complete a spontaneous trip, you need not only courage but also financial resources.
This time, Li Ang got to experience the rich man's way of playing.
They simply spent a lot of money to find a professional team. They didn't have to worry about any strategies, equipment, travel methods, tickets, etc.
As soon as they got off the airport, they were greeted by a convoy consisting of two Rolls-Royces and two Bentleys.
Accommodation costs several thousand yuan a night and requires reservation at top hotels. Transportation is either by luxury car or helicopter. For dining, they even have a professional team of private chefs to serve them.
With all this in mind, traveling to the Alps has basically nothing to do with adventure. It's all about enjoyment.
"You should be able to hire a professional ski instructor, right?"
"Of course sir, we can provide any service you can think of."
The travel steward at the side answered respectfully.
However, he did not expect that in just less than half a day, Li Ang went from an entry-level skier to a professional skier who was completely indistinguishable from a top ski coach wearing similar clothes.
Li Ang still remembers that among the eight events of Ozaki, there is one called "Ice Solidification", which is downhill skiing in the Alps.
Another reason why he learned to ski was that it was said that the location of the [Psychic Crystal] might exist here, and it was only possible to reach it by skiing.
The next day, Leon and Silla explained the reason, saying that they were going to a dangerous place and would leave her alone for a while, then they took a helicopter and left their resort.
The power of nature should never be underestimated. To be on the safe side, Li Ang chose to go alone. (End of this chapter)
