Lieutenant general was equivalent to a platoon leader, and Major general was equivalent to rear admiral.
Last time she heard Wei Mingting's intention that he wanted to promote Brother Xiaoyong to the rank of lieutenant general. Unexpectedly, Chu Lan directly promised Brother Xiaoyong a higher-level major general.
Generally speaking, a soldier must first be promoted to a general before being promoted to a lieutenant general, and then to a major general. Xu Zhengyong was promoted to three levels at once.
Although Xu Zhengyong was still far behind Wei Mingting after his promotion, he was just a newcomer. Being able to directly transition from an ordinary soldier to a major general in such a short period of time was already very impressive.
"Really? You're going to be a major general?" Xiumei couldn't help but cheer.
“Hey, His Highness made such a promise, I don’t know if it will come true or not.”
“His Highness has promised, then it will definitely happen. If His Highness wants to appoint someone to be the major general, it's not just a matter of words. Besides, Brother Xiaoyong, you have really made great contributions this time, and the promotion is justified and there will be no problem!" Xiumei's face was full of joy.
“Meimei is right.” Wei Ruo agreed.
If it were only Wei Mingting's intention to promote and reward Xu Zhengyong, Wei Ruo would not be so sure. But if Chu Lan had opened his mouth, the probability of success would be almost 100% guaranteed.
Although she didn't like Chu Lan, his trustworthiness was confirmed.
The nanny said to Xu Zhengyong: "Why don't you thank Miss quickly? If Miss hadn't helped you make that mechanical crossbow, you wouldn't have made any achievements or been promoted."
The nanny knew very well that her son had to rely on the mechanical crossbow given by the young lady for such a great promotion. If it were only for his heroic performance on the battlefield, at most, he could only be promoted to a squad leader.
"That’s right!" Xu Zhengyong suddenly got serious, straightened his clothes, and bowed respectfully to Wei Ruo.
"Thank you, little sister Ruo’er."
At the beginning it was quite serious, but unfortunately at the end, he showed a slightly mischievous smile.
"The mechanical crossbow I provided is only one aspect, Brother Xiaoyong also won praise through his own strength. I have heard that Brother Xiaoyong is very good at fighting, and has fought several pirates at the same time. When the two armies were in close combat, he rushed to the front." Wei Ruo said.
“That’s because Miss hired a master for him. Miss has thought of a long-term plan and hired a master to teach the two of them early, otherwise Xiaoyong would not be as capable as he is now.” The nanny said hurriedly.
"That's right, my mother is right, my little sister Ruo'er is so good to me! She has foresight!" Xu Zhengyong smiled with a naive look on his face.
Laughing, Xu Zhengyong remembered one thing, "By the way, little sister Ruo'er sister, I have used up the wound medicine you gave me. Do you have any more?"
"Where are you injured?" Wei Ruo asked.
"No, no, it's not me." Xu Zhengyong quickly explained. "It's not me who was injured, it's my comrades who were injured. The medicine in the military camp is very scarce, and all the medicine is given to those who are seriously injured. My two comrades were not badly injured, so they didn't receive the medicine. I gave them the wound medicine you gave me."
The nanny patted Xu Zhengyong angrily: "You brat, don't you know that Miss's medicine is very expensive? She made everything for you to save your life!"
Wei Ruo hurriedly said: "Nanny, it’s okay. I can afford this and it’ll be worth it, If it can help your comrades. I'll prepare more wound medicine for Brother Xiaoyong. If you encounter something like this in the future, Brother Xiaoyong can also use it. You don't have to worry about it."
