Special forces soldier demobilization: Starting from the county government compound, a meteoric rise

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The echoes of the cannon salute still reverberated over the capital.

Although official news reports made no mention of the commander of this earth-shattering naval battle.

Not even a vague code name appeared.

Only the usual, conservative official phrases like "Our supreme command made a decisive decision" and "Under the powerful deterrent of national defense technology" are used.

but.

This is the internet age.

This generation of netizens is no longer the kind of bystanders who can only watch the news broadcast.

When images of the two massive enemy aircraft carriers being dragged into Ningzhou Port in a pathetic state, like stray dogs, circulated online.

The entire domestic internet was in an uproar.

"Who on earth was it?! Which deity descended to earth and managed to subdue the world's number one fleet so easily?!"

"This is definitely not how conventional troops operate! I have a friend who works at a coastal radar station who said that they couldn't even pick up the enemy's radar signal; the enemy was completely blinded!"

"A space-based weapon! It's definitely a legendary space-based weapon!"

"That's incredible! This is like a game-changing attack! Subduing the enemy without fighting—that's the highest level of military strategy!"

Countless forums, online communities, and short video platforms.

Countless netizens who stay up late to study, passionate military enthusiasts, and even fangirls who usually only follow entertainment gossip.

now.

All attention and all the searches were focused on that mysterious naval battle and that unknown commander.

Paper can never truly contain fire.

Especially in this era where everyone is a detective.

Soon, some astute "insiders" or "insiders" began to subtly leak clues in various encrypted forums.

"Have you heard? The joint military-civilian commander for this operation is a young man who's not even thirty!"

"Holy crap! Not even thirty? You think this is some kind of wish-fulfillment novel? No way!"

"I'd be a fool to lie to you! This story has spread throughout our provincial government compound! I heard this guy not only knows military affairs, but he was also a shrewd businessman who managed to pull our province's GDP to number one in the country!"

"Wait a minute... working on the economy? Under thirty? Wasn't there a director at the National Development and Reform Commission named Liu something a while back...?"

"Shh! Don't say your full name! Do you want your water meter checked?"

Although no names were mentioned.

But the name "Liu Ming" seemed to have grown wings, spreading wildly in the undercurrents of the internet at an extremely terrifying speed.

From the ruthless crackdown on organized crime in Qingyun County to the remarkable investment attraction efforts in Ningzhou High-tech Zone.

From the live television broadcast of his debate with a group of scholars to the swift and decisive "Jiangnan New Deal".

And now, this earth-shattering battle to suppress foreign enemies.

Liu Ming's resume was pieced together bit by bit by netizens.

When this almost mythical resume was fully presented to the entire internet.

Everyone is stupid.

"What the hell... is this even human?"

"At twenty-seven, he was a division chief; at thirty, a department head; and now he's commanding such a massive naval battle?"

"This guy is practically a one-trick pony! He can bring peace to the world with his pen, and he can conquer the land on horseback!"

"Incredible! All those domineering CEOs and top celebrities are no match for this Boss Liu; they wouldn't even be worthy of carrying his shoes!"

A sentiment known as "frenzy" is spreading rapidly online.

There is no official deification.

Without the support of capital.

This is entirely a spontaneous and simple form of worship by ordinary people.

Because everything Liu Ming did truly touched their hearts and made them stand tall!

soon.

A title that was originally only circulating in a small circle has been pushed to the top of the trending searches across the entire internet.

—"Guardian God of War".

These four words, simple and blunt, perfectly encapsulate everything Liu Ming did.

This word dominated the top ten trending topics on Weibo.

On Douyin, countless short videos edited from movies and TV dramas and accompanied by exciting background music have idealized Liu Ming's image to an extreme.

Even if the video only shows a blurry profile or a solitary figure in a trench coat.

The number of likes easily surpassed ten million!

"A guardian of the nation! This is the kind of star we should be following!"

"This is the backbone of Kyushu!"

"I wonder if this big shot has a girlfriend? I'd be willing to have his babies!"

"Stop dreaming, upstairs. I heard she's surrounded by provincial-level ice queens and female billionaires worth hundreds of billions. You don't even have the right to join the queue!"

The online frenzy is getting bigger and bigger.

Even overseas Chinese students and overseas Chinese communities are frantically sharing news about this victory on social media.

That day, they walked on the streets of a foreign country, their backs straighter than usual.

Because they know.

Behind them is a powerful motherland.

There was a war god who dared to say "no" to any hegemony.

……

At this time.

Liu Ming, at the absolute center of this online storm, was sitting under the grape trellis in her courtyard, leisurely peeling an orange.

His phone was carelessly tossed on the stone table.

The screen lit up incessantly, and various notification sounds kept ringing out.

All of them were congratulatory messages and probing questions from various parties.

There were former subordinates who had worked together in the province, big bosses who wielded considerable influence in the business world, and even a few arrogant sons of city officials.

They all wanted to establish a connection with this popular "Guardian of the Nation" as soon as possible.

Liu Ming didn't even glance at it.

He popped the peeled orange segments into his mouth, and the juice burst out, sweet and sour.

"Master, you're now a top influencer on the entire internet!"

Lin Xiaoxiao, dressed in sportswear and holding a tablet computer, ran over excitedly.

"Look at you, look at you! These netizens are praising you so much, you're practically on par with the Jade Emperor!"

She handed the tablet to Liu Ming, on which was a montage video that had garnered over ten million likes.

Liu Ming glanced at it and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"What kind of nonsense is this?"

"What kind of music is this? 'Borrowing Five Hundred Years from Heaven'? Am I that old?"

"Oh, Master, that's not the point!"

Lin Xiaoxiao was so anxious that she stomped her feet, her eyes shining.

"The important thing is that you're now famous! Absolutely famous!"

"Let me tell you, there are so many young girls outside crying and begging to marry you! If you started a live stream, the money you'd get in tips could probably build another aircraft carrier!"

"Get out of here, you have no manners!"

Liu Ming slapped her head in an annoyed tone.

"Do you take me for one of those internet celebrities who sell their smiles?"

"This reputation is like the clouds in the sky; it looks beautiful, but it dissipates with a gust of wind."

"I don't do these things so they can praise me online."

He stood up and patted the orange peel off his hands.

His eyes revealed a detached indifference that suggested he had seen through the ways of the world.

"A hollow reputation is a burden."

"Instead of being some kind of war god online, I'd rather go to the kitchen and see if the pork ribs are ready for tonight."

"Old Lei and his friends are coming over for drinks tonight. Those are big eaters; there won't be enough food if we don't have enough."

Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at Liu Ming's back, which seemed completely unconcerned about the massive influx of traffic, and pouted.

"What a strange person."

"but……"

Looking at the blurry figure on the tablet in her hand, she couldn't help but smile with pride.

"...He's incredibly handsome."

……

Night falls.

Warm lights shone in the courtyard.

The kitchen was filled with the enticing aroma of meat and the clear laughter of a woman.

That was Xi Wanqing and Nangong Yao busy at work.

These two goddesses, who are usually so powerful and influential in the outside world, are now wearing aprons and arguing endlessly about tonight's menu.

"Liu Ming likes spicy food, so put more chili peppers in these ribs." Nangong Yao waved the spatula.

"No, he's had an upset stomach lately and needs to eat something light." Xi Wanqing wouldn't budge an inch.

Liu Ming leaned against the door frame, watching this scene, and smiled helplessly.

This is the life he wants.

There were no dramatic schemes.

There was no fighting amidst gunfire.

Only the warmth of cooking in this room and the comfort of being within reach.

"Bang bang bang!"

The gate outside the courtyard was pounded loudly.

"Boss! Open the door! The brothers have brought some good wine!"

It's the tank's signature loud noise.

Accompanying this was Lei Tie's hearty laughter.

"Here it comes!"

Liu Ming turned around and strode towards the courtyard gate.

he knows.

Tonight, it's another night of drinking until we drop.

Outside the door.

He is his brother.

Inside the door was his lover.

In the end, Liu Ming managed to protect this world.
