The Federation's Officer system is divided into three tiers: Sergeant Major, Officer, and Private. Each tier has four grades, with Special Soldier being the highest grade of Private.
Lin Feng directly skipped over the three lower grades of Private, Private Second Class, and Private First Class to become a Special Soldier.
He was now just one step away from becoming a Quasi-Military Officer, the entry-level Officer rank.
This clearly showed how much the Administration Bureau valued him; a three-grade promotion was a sign of their utmost sincerity.
Since Lin Feng had joined the Public Security Administration Bureau, he was registered with the State Armed Guard, which was separate from the Federation Army.
The official story credited all the achievements to Qin Hu. By rights, however, the State Guard deserved most of the credit. They had successfully blocked the new Mother Empress's encirclement head-on, buying an entire night for the 13th Infantry Division to retreat.
