Li Yunxiang stood at attention and saluted as Xue Yuanzheng approached, his eyes fixed straight ahead.
Subsequently, Xue Yuanzheng pinned the rank of major general on Bai Zhizhan's shoulders.
The term "Major General" actually appeared before the last great war and was commonly used.
The title "White Dragon General" corresponds to a Navy Major General, while "Brave General" is a general term, combined they make "Brave White Dragon General". If it were an Army Major General, it would be General of Brave Tiger.

Indeed, the rank of "Major General" is more straightforward and easily understandable at a glance.
Moreover, major general is the lowest rank among generals.
