375 The Olive Branch Extended by the Lieutenant Generals

“Gasp…”

After they heard Wu Mo’s answer, the three lieutenant generals sitting at the conference table looked at each other.

They thought that Wu Mo had originally designed the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear to provide the wearer with a huge increase in attributes. That way, every cultivator could possess improved combat skills in a short time and protect their country more effectively.

It never occurred to anyone that Wu Mo had started all this to help the disabled cultivators were about to leave the battlefield.

As for the attribute enhancements and the ability to fly, they were just bonus features from the gear’s subsequent development.

“Wu Mo, you’re not on the front lines , but you still care so much about the cultivators there. It’s rare to find someone with such a good heart.”

Lieutenant General Lu Yuansheng did not hold back from praising Wu Mo.

The two people beside him nodded too, and their opinions of Wu Mo also changed.

In their opinion, the biggest difference between Wu Mo and genius blacksmiths who were arrogant because of their talent was the equipment that they forged. Wu Mo’s creations had always been based on practical use in a person’s daily life.

They were much more valuable than the beautiful and vain creations of others.

Every piece of equipment that Wu Mo had developed had more or less brought change to capital and the various battlefields.

Lu Yuansheng believed that if the White River province could have a few more blacksmiths like Wu Mo, who was pure-hearted and dedicated to learning, the province would not be ranked last in the annual a.s.sessment.

Over the years, the White River province had never lacked young motivated blacksmiths who would work hard. However, due to their limited talent, none were like Wu Mo who managed to positively impact the province in just a year.

At that thought, Lieutenant General Lu made up his mind.

If Wu Mo agreed, he would transfer him to the eastern war zone so that he could receive more information and better nourishment. For one, it could relieve the pressure on the eastern war zone, and two, it could help Wu Mo grow faster.

In truth, he already had such thoughts long before arrived in the capital.

However, earlier on, he had yet to personally witness the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear’s power and he had no indication that Wu Mo would be able to adapt to the academic work there.

Now, he had a good understanding of Wu Mo after a few short conversations. He felt that with Wu Mo’s personality and ability, going to the Eastern Grand Station District would be a better choice.

Lu Yuansheng gathered his thoughts and raised his head. He was ready to tell Wu Mo his thoughts and see what he would say.

However, just as he opened his mouth, Shen Hongyuan impatiently extended an olive branch to Wu Mo.

“Wu Mo, all three of us have seen your ideas and abilities. You can definitely expand your horizons in a bigger location. It just so happens that we’re lacking an armament section chief in the Third Military Region. I believe that you’ll be up to the task…”

Shen Hongyuan spoke without stopping. His face was filled with excitement and hope.

He gave Wu Mo a detailed explanation of the position and its benefits. In addition, he thoughtfully came up with a five-year development plan for him.

If Zhuang Zhe had not been there, Shen Hongyuan would have already told him about the welfare benefits.

“Ahem, ahem… Lieutenant General Shen, although you have good intentions, I still think that Wu Mo’s ability would be wasted in the military region.”

Zhuang Zhe swept his gaze across the crowd and continued in a serious tone, “You want to keep Wu Mo for five years with a mere section chief position? How can you do that?

“In my opinion, the best place for Wu Mo is the eastern war zone. There are many seven-star blacksmith masters there. Not only can they help Wu Mo improve academically, but they can also help him expand his network, which will be beneficial for his future development.”

Zhuang Zhe sat up straight and drew a circle on the meeting table with his finger.

“A young talent like Wu Mo will definitely end up in the enormous war zone. I’m doing this to pave the way for him in advance. There are no selfish motives involved.”

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the people around him and touched his nose guiltily.

In the office, Shen Hongyuan, who was sitting on the left side of the meeting table, looked a little annoyed.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuansheng, who was sitting on the right, had a smug look on his face.

The difference in their expressions was enough to show that their thoughts were opposite.

Lieutenant General Lu Yuansheng was the leader of the First Military District in North China.

However, his two subordinates were extremely capable. Even if he was not around, they could still manage the First Military Region without a problem.

Therefore, in recent years, Lu Yuansheng had only been in the First Military Region in name. In reality, his duties were closely related to the eastern theater of operations.

As such, he hoped that Wu Mo would go to the eastern war zone.

He wanted to create more practical equipment to help alleviate the pressure on the front lines.

Although they were both lieutenant generals of White River and their common goal was to protect the peace of the province, as well as the nation, everyone was more or less selfish.

They all hoped to have a few young and talented people like Wu Mo around them.

In the face of the olive branches extended by the lieutenant generals, Wu Mo’s eyes flickered, but he could not give them a clear answer.

He considered it for a while and said to the three lieutenants, “Lieutenant Generals, you have put in a lot of effort, and I, Wu Mo, appreciate it immensely.

“While I haven’t made any plans for the future, I’d like to take each step on my own. So, I have to refuse your invitation.”

Wu Mo smiled, his expression full of sincerity.

“However, the three of you can rest a.s.sured that if there’s an opportunity in the future, I won’t hesitate to pay you a visit. If the three of you need my help in the future, I definitely won’t refuse, Lieutenant Generals.

“Besides, I’m quite far away from the military region and the Eastern Grand Station District. I’m afraid it’ll take me a few days of preparation before I can go.”

“Sure…”

The three lieutenants nodded. Although they felt a little regretful, they still respected Wu Mo’s decision.

Furthermore, Wu Mo had given them a reasonable explanation, and he never explicitly rejected them.

Therefore, the three lieutenants were not angry. On the contrary, they found that their previous plans were a bit abrupt and that they had not considered Wu Mo’s feelings.

“No problem, I respect your choice.” Lu Yuansheng patted the table gently and said with a smile.

“However, I can’t go back empty-handed. Later on, once the military has confirmed the allocation of funds for the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear’s ma.s.s production, we need to have the first batch of experimental equipment immediately.”

“Yes, I have the same thoughts as Lieutenant General Lu. After all, you are an important guest in North China’s Third Military Region. You’ve met the two arms ministers before.” Shen Hongyuan blinked and said excitedly.

“Ahem… Although this is my first time meeting you, I’ve been paying attention to your reputation for a long time. This has to be fair so that no one loses out.”

At this moment, Zhuang Zhe was a little speechless as he sat next to them. He did not expect Lu Yuansheng and Shen Hongyuan to disregard their status just to get close to Wu Mo and receive the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear as soon as possible.
