At the Governors Mansion, Li Feng was looking through various documents.
If there was any advantage to a servo-skull, that intelligent little skull floating in the air, it was that it could be used as a player, for 'listening to books'.
Li Feng ate the same meal as the Soldiers, brought from the mess hall: ant-ox cabbage stew with vermicelli and steamed buns.
He was evaluating the performance of the various constituent units under the Instructional Corps.
Major Brocklaw's post-action report arrived shortly after the victorious engagement.
Li Feng looked at this unit, which initially had various disputes due to the merger of an all-male and an all-female group, and noted that it could now successfully form combat power.
Not to mention, in Commissar Cain's memoirs, Cain learned to skillfully change a baby's diaper a year after the two groups merged.
Imagine what would happen if thousands of male and female Soldiers, almost equal in number, in their prime, full of hormones and energy, were confined to a completely sealed spaceship for several weeks?
So much so that in the future, too many from the 597th Regiment married, allowing them to 'produce troops' on the spot.
Colonel Kastin and Lieutenant Sura, blushing, handed the personnel list to Li Feng...
When Li Feng saw the list, these thousands of people had almost formed a battalion...
Even more astonishing, many of them went to the battlefield while pregnant.
Meanwhile, Fides lay on the bed, having been busy with Li Feng all day, and was now resting well.
Just then, the door opened.
Fides sat up, glanced, saw it was Reinhard, and then lay back down...
Fides had a good impression of Reinhard, because Reinhard, Siegfried, and Yang Wen-li all considered Li Feng their 'big brother'.
And once, Reinhard secretly called Fides 'sister-in-law', a true master of social etiquette!
"Lord, there's a visitor outside.
It's... an Inquisitor."
"Let her in."
"Yes."
After speaking, a woman in a cloak emerged from behind Reinhard.
Beneath her cloak, she wore Inquisitor power armour, with a large, pure gold, ruby-encrusted Inquisitorial Rosette hanging on her somewhat undulating power armour.
Indeed, she was a female Inquisitor.
After she entered, she threw back the hood of her cloak, revealing neat, short black hair.
"Lord Li Feng, hello.
I am Inquisitor Katarina Lawrence of the Xenos Inquisition."
Li Feng looked at the beautiful Inquisitor in front of him, nodded, and then said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Inquisitor.
Please forgive me, but I may need to entertain you while I eat."
Katarina said indifferently, "Lord Li Feng, it's fine..."
With that, Katarina sat down in the chair opposite Li Feng's table, watching him take a bite of steamed bun then a bite of dish.
Suddenly, it made her a little hungry too.
"Lord Li Feng, I have come to seek your help.
Our colleague, Inquisitor Ver, accompanied your diplomatic team to the Tau negotiation site.
Now they are completely out of contact, and I hope..."
Li Feng picked up the enamel mug and took a sip of his 'Three-Stage Cannon' tea to rinse his mouth, then explained, "Don't worry, the heroic Commissar Cain has gone to find them."
At this point, Li Feng also took a cup and poured some tea for the person opposite him.
Just then, Siegfried walked in from outside:
"Lord, the diplomatic team has been sent back by a passing Cadia Armoured Grenadier battalion.
The Inquisitor's party is now with Commissar Cain, heading towards the camp."
Katarina stood up at this moment, as if something urgent required her immediate departure.
"Thank you, Lord Li Feng, I will now..."
"Sit down.
You haven't finished your tea yet."
"Thank you for your kindness, but I..."
"I said... sit down."
Sensing the change in Li Feng's tone, Fides also sat up from the bed.
Katarina could only swallow and sit back down in the chair.
"I remember the diplomatic negotiations; I don't think I invited you, did I?"
Li Feng's eyes turned cold, staring intently at Katarina.
As an Inquisitor, Katarina was no longer a young girl easily scared, but facing someone with Li Feng's immense power and aura, goosebumps still involuntarily rose all over her.
"Lord Li Feng, the Imperial Inquisition has the right to..."
"Without even a greeting?"
Li Feng refilled his enamel mug with tea.
Katarina noticed the large characters 'Excellent Marksman' on the mug.
"This... we..."
Li Feng opened a nearby cigarette case, filled with pre-rolled cigarettes made with brown licorice paper.
Li Feng took one, then offered the case to the Inquisitor:
"Care for one?
These aren't cigarettes from Agricultural Worlds or Garden Worlds, but grown by the Imperial Guard in the hydroponic farms of the Imperial Palace."
Katarina knew there was no other way; at this point, not accepting the cigarette would be disrespectful.
So Li Feng watched as Katarina skillfully took a cigarette, and Li Feng used his Zippo to light it for the lady first.
"I'm fighting a war here, with bullets and shells flying everywhere, and you just wander around without a word of warning... Is this good?
If something goes wrong, will it be your responsibility or mine?"
"When we Inquisitors are trusted by the Emperor, we are prepared to dedicate our lives..."
"Enough of these empty words,"
Li Feng directly interrupted the beautiful Inquisitor's platitudes.
"I don't care if you live or die.
What I care about is, if the negotiations you meddled in go wrong, who will bear the responsibility?"
But Inquisitor Katarina took a deep breath, then stared into Li Feng's eyes and replied, "We need to confirm whether you have reached any agreements with the Tau..."
Li Feng directly pulled out a stack of documents from a drawer and threw them in front of her:
"All the terms of our diplomatic negotiations are here.
What I'm displeased about isn't what you did, but how you did it.
Can we follow proper procedures?
Don't always engage in strange 'black operations'.
Ask me before you act.
I'm right here.
I'm not saying I can't add you to the diplomatic team."
With that, Li Feng stood up and said to Reinhard by the door, "Please escort the Inquisitor out.
I need to work after dinner."
Having been dismissed, Katarina's face darkened.
Normally, as an Inquisitor, she was the one who dismissed others.
She picked up the documents and turned to leave, not even looking at Reinhard who came over to 'escort' her.
"I know the way myself."
Watching the fuming Inquisitor leave, Reinhard came to Li Feng's table and asked:
"Lord, is it alright to treat an Inquisitor like that?"
Li Feng handed the finished plate to Reinhard, wiped his mouth with a piece of paper: "When you're a secret police, you have to be prepared for people to dislike you... Oh, and get me another bowl, and three more steamed buns."
After Reinhard left, Li Feng continued to pick up the documents and read them.
The Adeptus Mechanicus was still salvaging the Tau fleet, and the Titans of the Titan Legion had become complete mascots; they hadn't even entered the field, and the Tau Lord had already collapsed.
The Tau fleet salvaged by the Adeptus Mechanicus contained many devices that were taken for reverse engineering and repair by the Adeptus Mechanicus.
Subsequently, Li Feng could directly generate Imperial versions of STCs from these Tau products, as Li Feng was quite interested in the Tau's individual combat mechs.
After this war, Ma Yinglong even submitted a paper directly to Mars, and the title of the paper was:
"Return to the Age of Aircraft Carriers: Great Ships and Big Guns Are Not Feasible, Missiles and Fighter Jets Are the Future Trend of Naval and Land Warfare"
