Strongest Soldier King

National Blade Headquarters Base Conference Room.

Two months later, the reorganization of National Blade concluded. Luo Zheng and others, who had undergone a month of intensive training at the base, were finally able to take a breather. Early in the morning, they came to the conference room to attend an important meeting. Two months prior, they had engaged in strategic battles under the name of the Demon Extermination Alliance in Beijing, and after completing the mission, took a month's rest at home before reporting back to the base for intense training, while waiting for the final results of the reorganization.

There were intermittent rumors, such as Wu Jin being promoted as team captain, but Luo Zheng wasn't interested in these and only cared about his own final assignment. Finally, today, a month later, the news was revealed, and everyone sat down joyfully. Luo Zheng noticed Hong Meihua and Lan Xing entering the room together with expressions of happiness and realized they had indeed been assigned together, exchanging a look with Lan Xue who sat beside him.

Everyone was familiar with each other, greeted politely upon sitting down, but no one mentioned the meeting's specifics. Until official orders were announced, nobody knew the exact situation. After waiting a while, Wu Jin strode in with a calm demeanor, scanning the crowd with a touch of warmth in his gaze, his resolute face had an added hint of a smile.

"Everyone here is an old acquaintance, and you must be aware of the situation, so let's not stand on ceremony. Let's commence the meeting," Wu Jin enthusiastically said while taking out a document with a red header, ready to read aloud: "Chairman's Order."

Upon hearing this, everyone swiftly stood up, faces growing serious as they focused on Wu Jin, ears pricked. Wu Jin too turned serious and read aloud earnestly: "In view of the complex international situation and national security needs, National Blade is reorganized effective immediately, as the National Security Strategy Bureau under the National Security Council. The National Blade name is retained for internal use, under the leadership of the chairman. National Security Strategy Bureau's mission: safeguard national security and national interests."

Wu Jin paused here to allow everyone to digest the information. Seeing the calm expressions and no dissatisfaction, he continued: "The National Security Strategy Bureau oversees ten sub-bureaus, one Special Service Department, which is divided into four Special Service Squadrons. The Fourth Squadron, Dragon Teeth Squadron, is officially established from today."

Everyone felt a surge of excitement upon hearing this, having the team designated as Dragon Teeth showed immense trust and honor. All eyes were eagerly on Wu Jin, ears tuned, fearing missing a single word.

"Appointing Hong Meihua as the squad leader of the Fourth Squadron," Wu Jin continued, looking at the group.

Without hesitation, everyone applauded the appointment. Hong Meihua, as the one most likely to become the strongest Spy King, possesses unparalleled abilities in espionage, combat experience, and intelligence resources, complementing the team's shortcomings. Her qualifications, ability, and character reassure everyone, making her appointment as squad leader acceptable.

Hong Meihua originally thought being a deputy would be good enough, never imagining she'd take the helm. Instantly feeling immense pressure, she hesitated to speak, but saw Wu Jin gesture for her not to, so she refrained. Wu Jin continued: "Appointing Lan Xue as deputy squad leader, responsible for external liaison and operations."

Lan Xue was originally the team leader, her work ability indisputable. She was responsible for coordinating the team's external affairs, continuing this role was most fitting. No one objected, her operational capability undeniable, overseeing operations was logical. Everyone applauded in approval.

"Appointing Luo Zheng as deputy squad leader, overseeing tactics and operations," Wu Jin continued.

Luo Zheng felt secretly pleased to continue in his familiar role. His aim in staying within Special Service Squadron was to hone and improve his own skills to become the Strongest Soldier King; overseeing operations and tactics fit his intentions perfectly. No objections arose, everyone acknowledged Luo Zheng's capabilities, naturally agreeing, applauding in approval.

"Appointing Lan Xing as intelligence team leader, responsible for intelligence and information, with a team of ten people, personnel self-selected to report afterward," Wu Jin continued to announce.

Intelligence and information are critical components in modern warfare, personnel must be trustworthy and work in harmony. Forming a team requires considerable time for adjustment, thus entrusting the choice to the team leader was both a mark of trust and consideration for team combat effectiveness.

Once again, everyone applauded in approval, recognizing Lan Xing's information capabilities. Serving as team leader was more than sufficient. Lan Xing did not expect to take this major responsibility directly but did not retreat, quickly calculating suitable candidates, planning to recruit them post-meeting.

"Appointing Ghost Hand, Snow Leopard, and Mountain Eagle as action squad leaders respectively, each with a team of ten, personnel self-selected for assembly," Wu Jin continued.

Everyone applauded in approval once more. After some words of encouragement from Wu Jin, he said: "Brothers, congratulations to you all, and please take care. Although reorganization has occurred, I'm still responsible for supporting your work. If you need anything, just come directly to me."

Everyone knew Wu Jin had been promoted, becoming the team captain of Special Service Team, overseeing the work of the four Special Service Squadrons, still their immediate superior. Everyone smiled kindly; regarding Wu Jin, there was trust and assurance. Luo Zheng asked with a smile: "Captain, the four Special Service Squadrons, we're ranked fourth, who are the others? Any chance to disclose a bit?"

"Certainly, the First Squadron was expanded from Shadow's team, the Second Squadron from the Drunkard's team, and the Third from the Snow Fox team. They're all familiar faces to you, the four Special Service Squadrons compete with each other, survival of the fittest, you know the rules, your pressure isn't light," Wu Jin said with a smile.

"Them?" Luo Zheng was surprised; he hadn't expected them to choose to stay. With their experience and abilities, they could have positions in the ten sub-bureaus, yet they stayed, especially Shadow. Thinking of Shadow's speed, Luo Zheng felt the pressure, smiled wryly: "Indeed, the pressure is great, seems the brothers need to work hard."

"Absolutely," Ghost Hand smiled, saying: "Captain, do we have any restrictions for recruiting our personnel? We can't just recruit from anywhere, can we?"

"Of course, submit a preliminary list, it will undergo confidential political vetting. Only after passing vetting can it be made official, you know the rules. Personnel from the original National Blade Special Warfare Team have been allocated, no point hoping there. You may consider recruiting from Zhongnanhai's bodyguards or military special forces, naturally, the police force as well, as long as you find them feasible, but first, the list must go through political vetting," Wu Jin instructed earnestly.

"Ghost Hand, Snow Leopard, I think Shi Tao and Niu Gang's teams are excellent, well acquainted with each other, I suggest you act quickly. Additionally, Brother Mountain Eagle, suggest forming a sniper team, exclusively snipers, you may consider my previous sniper team, you're familiar with them," Luo Zheng immediately suggested.

Ghost Hand, Snow Leopard, and Mountain Eagle his eyes lit up, took out their phones, looking at Wu Jin, who smiled wryly and said a few polite words before leaving. Everyone rushed to call and recruit personnel, the conference room lively with activity.
