The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

And at this very moment... he was the absolute central figure in all this storm and change.

Gu Xu was enjoying a rare moment of peace!

Ten thousand meters above the ground, a special plane specially dispatched by the Supreme Command is tearing through the clouds and flying at high speed toward Shuzhou City.

Gu Xu was also leaning back in his comfortable chair without any regard for his image, holding a glass of soda filled with ice and sipping it happily.

On the tablet in front of him, the initial personnel and supplies lists of the Calamity Legion were displayed in dense detail.

After glancing at it casually, Gu Xu couldn't help but click his tongue.

"Tsk tsk... I have to say, those old men in our General Staff Headquarters usually seem so slow."

"When it comes to getting things done, their efficiency is truly unparalleled."

"I just signed the papers yesterday and only woke up after a good night's sleep. As a result, they've provided me with everything from key officers to rank-and-file personnel, from the defense facilities at the base to the logistics supply lines, and even the cooks in the barracks."

"This speed of execution is simply outrageous."

Sitting opposite Gu Xu, Su Qiong was looking down and quickly marking important points on a thick document.

Hearing Gu Xu's words of being ungrateful despite getting a good deal, she didn't even look up and just rolled her eyes at him, completely speechless.

"Don't you even have a second thought about your position in Sherlock Holmes? You're the apple of the eye of the Night's Watch and all those old guards in Command!"

"The formation of the Calamity Legion was granted by the Supreme Command through emergency authorization, with all the necessary approvals granted at its behest."

"In other words, this is a treatment unique to all of Sheikha to date. With the entire nation's resources mobilized for one task, how could the efficiency not be rapid?"

"Of the hundreds of departments, large and small, across the country, which one would be so foolish as to hold you back at this critical juncture?"

Gu Xu chuckled, nonchalantly taking another sip of his soda, and comfortably adjusted his posture: "True, it's just that the appointment was a bit too quick, and the vacation time a bit too short!"

Looking at his leisurely and carefree demeanor, which showed no signs of leadership, Su Qiong closed the document in her hand with a sense of disappointment.

Then, she gently tapped the table: "Alright, stop sitting here drinking and reminiscing."

"I'm asking you, as the rightful supreme commander of the Calamity Legion, the Legion Commander, your special plane will land at the base soon, and you'll immediately hold your first high-level internal meeting since taking office. Have you prepared what you'll say?"

Upon hearing the word "meeting," Gu Xu's expression visibly fell.

That face, which had been carrying a relaxed smile, seemed to instantly don a mask of pain.

"A meeting? And I have to go on stage and give a speech?"

At this point, Gu Xu sighed heavily, then slid off the chair like a salted fish that had suddenly lost all hope in life: "Sister Qiong, you know I'm terrible at this kind of public-facing work."

"Going up there and spouting a bunch of dry, bureaucratic nonsense makes the people below sleepy, and I feel uncomfortable too."

"Do you think we could cancel this ridiculous meeting? Everyone's new here, so it would be better if we all found a dorm room, got a good night's sleep, and recharged."

Gu Xu has a peculiar personality: he can crush the false god projection on the battlefield of life and death, but wants to run away when faced with clerical work and meetings.

Su Qiong had expected this long ago, after all, she had been just like him before.

But this time... it's a matter of great importance, and she's determined not to indulge him.

However, before Su Qiong could even reprimand this unreliable legion commander...

Jiang Shu, who was sitting on the chair next to him, taking notes in a small notebook, suddenly had a bright look in her eyes.

She immediately put down what she was doing and leaned over the aisle: "Commander! What's so difficult about this?"

"If you find meetings too troublesome and don't want to go, you can simply leave it to me!"

"I can do it for you!"

"I guarantee I'll conduct this meeting flawlessly, conveying your glorious image and invincible achievements to every single new recruit with an impassioned tone!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xu was immediately delighted and gave the sensible little girl an appreciative look.

"Oh, Xiao Jiang is so thoughtful and sensible!"

"Then it's settled. In a bit, you..."

"What's there to decide!"

Su Qiong interrupted Gu Xu with a loud shout, her face full of exasperation. She then turned and glared at Jiang Shu, saying irritably, "Why are you causing trouble?"

"You're now the Chief of Staff of the Calamity Army, and you're going to give a speech in place of a dignified legion commander? Do you think those arrogant and fierce soldiers below will accept that?"

"What kind of talk is that?"

Startled by Su Qiong's stern glare, Jiang Shu immediately shrank back, sitting back in her seat with a pitiful expression. She muttered softly in a voice only she could hear, "I just saw that the commander was tired and wanted to share the burden with the legion commander..."

Su Qiong rubbed her temples, sighed, and then turned to look at Gu Xu again, her expression turning serious.

"Gu Xu, you can slack off and do whatever you want in private, but this is the first plenary meeting you've officially chaired since taking office."

"Do you know what kind of soldiers you've been assigned this time?"

Su Qiong pulled out a folder with a pre-organized list from the mountain of documents on the table and handed it directly to Gu Xu.

"Those sitting below are not only the elites that the various legions gritted their teeth and reluctantly transferred, but also a large number of arrogant troublemakers, as well as countless new generation genius professionals who regard you as their only faith in the face of crisis."

"Why did they travel such a long and arduous journey to this newly established defense zone in Shuzhou?"

"Isn't it all for you?"

At this point, Su Qiong's tone softened a bit: "Besides, this is also a great opportunity to motivate your subordinates and boost morale."

"As the absolute backbone of this team, if you don't show up on the first day and just sit around doing nothing, what will the brothers below think?"

Are you sure you still want to push it?

Gu Xu looked at Su Qiong's uncompromising eyes, then glanced at the thin folder on the table.

He knew in his heart that Su Qiong was right; this time, there was really no escaping it.

Although he usually seems carefree and doesn't take anything to heart, he knows what's important and what's urgent.

The Calamity Army is not only the sharpest blade in Divine Sherman at present, but also the foundation for facing enemies of higher dimensions in the future. The morale and soul of this team truly need to be instilled and condensed by him, the commander-in-chief.

"Okay, okay! Sister Qiong, stop reading, I understand!"

Gu Xu reached for the folder and sighed dramatically, "Sister Su Qiong, you're completely different now!"

"Why am I starting to feel more and more intimidated by the political commissar?"
