Chapter 1262 Glory Will Finally Come (First Update)
The Star Marines are the largest group of soldiers in terms of numbers.
If their fighting power can be stimulated, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort.
But the military leaders have always disagreed.
Many of them actually relied on the military merits of the Star Marines to get promoted.
If this road is cut off, their descendants will not be able to hold high positions in the army safely.
Because if they want to hold high positions again, they have to die like ordinary soldiers!
How can this be possible? !
This is to cut off people's official careers, just like exterminating nine generations of people!
It is a worse act than killing one's parents.
Therefore, the motion proposed by the chief legal adviser Quan Yuxun in the Senate was unanimously opposed by the military leaders.
The Quan family, who proposed this motion, and the members of the Zong family who strongly supported this motion have been working hard for a long time, but progress is still slow.
Finally, a video of "justice from heaven" fell from the sky, and the person also revealed his identity, that is, the Star Marine!
This gave Quan Yuxun enough bargaining chips to fight against those high-ranking military officials who opposed the abolition of Article 21 of the Catch-21!
Then, the high priest Su Yanxing, who never interfered in political affairs, actually asked everyone to mourn for all the Space Marines who died in countless wars in the empire during a mass in the church, and said that the Space Marines were also part of the empire's military.
Their contributions will not and should not be forgotten.
Finally, the high priest also said: "I swear in the name of the Bodhisattva of the Church that the glory that the Space Marines deserve will eventually come."
He expressed his support for the Space Marines.
This time, when the experience of the Space Marines became popular throughout the empire, and the entire empire was threatened by the Zerg army, this unreasonable Article 21 of the Catch-21 finally came to an end.
This time, not only did the Quan and Zong families of the four great nobles jointly propose a motion, but the Senate Speaker Li Hengchang expressed support on behalf of the Li family, and the high priest Su Yanxing, who never asked about political affairs, also supported it.
The four great nobles all expressed support for the abolition of Article 21 of the military regulations.
There are not many people from the four great nobles in the military high-level, and even if there are, they are only side branches.
Because the Tan Tai royal family has never allowed the four great nobles to get involved in more military power.
Therefore, the nobles in the military high-level are mostly marquises and earls below the four great nobles.
They were originally a very powerful force, and when they were twisted into a rope, even the Tan Tai royal family had to treat them with caution.
However, this time, when seeing that the united power of the military high-level could fight against the four great nobles, the Tan Tai royal family chose to stand on the side of the four great nobles.
Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan made a special public speech.
He said with a serious face: "Star Marines are indeed an indispensable part of our imperial military."
"For a long time, the decision of some senior military officials to refuse the military merits of the Star Marines is indeed outrageous."
"I hope that the members of the Senate and the upper and lower houses can think independently and make the best decision for this empire."
"Military merits, no matter who they belong to, are sacred and cannot be desecrated."
After Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan spoke, the senior military officials also began to soften.
In fact, the most important thing is not the senior military officials, but Quan Yuxun mobilized the middle-level military officers.
This group of people is the largest group among the officers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the backbone of the military.
If we get their support, we can get twice the result with half the effort.
And this group of people is purely against the "military merit exchange system".
They are all people from ordinary families, with outstanding abilities, and willing to exchange their lives for their future.
But because of the military merit exchange system, their abilities have become a joke in front of the wealth of several or even dozens of generations.
No matter how hard they try, they can only be promoted to the middle level.
Quan Yuxun made them believe that if this Article 21 of the Military Regulation can be abolished, they can block the way to exchange military merits!
So they gradually became firm supporters of abolishing Article 21 of the Military Regulation.
Since Xia Chujian's "insect killing" video was released, Quan Yuxun's proposal to abolish Article 21 of the Military Regulation has finally ushered in a turning point.
After another week, this military regulation was finally passed in the three readings of the Senate and the Upper and Lower Houses with an overwhelming vote rate!
Three days later, this military regulation that the Starry Sky Marines cannot obtain military merits was abolished!
Moreover, the time when this proposal came into effect can even be traced back to three months before the proposal came into effect.
As soon as this proposal was passed, Quan Yuxun sent the news to Xia Chujian.
[Quan Yuxun]: Yuanbao, Article 21 of the Military Regulation has been abolished, you can rest assured to make merits.
When Xia Chujian saw this message, she remembered that she had received a message from Quan Yuxun asking for some "arthropods".
But when she just came back, she encountered forty medium-level Zerg besieging her base. She was busy fighting, cleaning up the mess, and modifying the mechas for her teammates, so she forgot to reply.
Now seeing this new message, she remembered that there was another message that she hadn't replied to.
But after seeing the content of the previous message, she was a little confused.
Why did they suddenly talk about arthropods?
The low-level Zerg nest builders she traded with Quan Yuxun didn't have arthropods...
Looking at the time when he sent the message, Xia Chujian had an unpleasant association in his mind.
No way... is it because of that "pest killing" video? !
Did you guess it was her? !
No, I can't admit it!
Xia Chujian pursed her lips and replied.
[Xia Chumei]: Really? ! Chief Quan is so awesome! Does Chief Quan want the Zerg's arthropod legs? It's out of stock right now, I'll look for it when I have time.
Quan Yuxun was speechless for a long time when faced with Xia Chujian's reply.
It's really Xia Chujian's style.
What does "temporarily out of stock" mean? !
Does she regard the Zerg army as her own purchasing base? !
Quan Yuxun twitched the corner of his mouth and replied quickly.
[Quan Yuxun]: Yuanbao, I'm not in a hurry, you have to be careful. Now that the starry sky marines' military functions are calculated and they can be promoted, the dangers you face may also intensify.
When Xia Chujian saw this reply, he rarely thought about it.
She felt that Quan Yuxun was right.
The top brass of the military will definitely not watch as they lose the "military merit pool" of the Starry Sky Marines...
So what will they do?
Xia Chujian didn't spend much time thinking about this issue.
Because within a few days, her appointment as team leader was challenged on the last day of the announcement.
This news was like a bolt of lightning in the entire Fifth Star Fleet, instantly hitting everyone's attention.
Most people expressed confusion.
"...Wocao! It's just a team captain appointed by the Star Marines to manage ten people. Is this the case, and someone is challenging it?!"
"Isn't it? Are the people in this team crazy?! If you want to object, don't raise it to the superiors before!"
"That's right! The appointment of the captain of our Star Marine Corps team was made after everyone discussed it in the team..."
"Is this someone in the team who was suddenly 'incited to rebel'?"
"Let me see what's going on..."
Xia Chujian and his teammates also received the news immediately.
At that time, they were still getting familiar with their new mechas. Xia Chu saw a man reinforcing the old aircraft with Zerg shell materials.
When she saw this news, Xia Chujian narrowed her eyes in disbelief.
Then she saw the name of the team member who challenged her - Ruan Xiong.
This was not a member of their squad.
There is no one named Ruan in their team.
Xia Chujian immediately sent a message to the above to ask.
As a result, the above reply said that due to the loss of one member of their team, a new person will now be sent there.
It was this newcomer who challenged her appointment as team leader.
At this time, Lao Mo also came back with the other team members.
They had been at high altitude outside the manor, getting familiar with their newly modified mechas.
Now back in the manor, Lao Mo came out of the mecha and was the first to say: "Team Xia, have you received the news?"
Xia Chujian nodded and said calmly: "Is this Ruan Xiong the son of the captain Ruan Qiang you mentioned?"
Lao Mo nodded gloomily and said, "That's him..."
"But he is not a Star Marine, but a secretary in the captain's office."
"How can he challenge Team Xia's appointment? He is not even a member of our team!"
According to Starfleet regulations, the right to challenge the captain of a Star Marine team can only come from within the team.
Xia Chujian said calmly: "I just asked, this guy wants to be a Star Marine and come to our team to fill the vacancy of the Golden Five. He is already a member of our team, so he can challenge my appointment."
Zhang San couldn't help but sneer and said: "Ruan Qiang was the one who made Jin Wu move, and now his son actually comes to fill Jin Wu's vacancy. What a joke!"
Xia Chujian said: "It goes without saying. Now that he wants to challenge me, I will definitely accept the challenge."
Lao Mo hurriedly said: "Team Xia, this Ruan Xiong is a genetic evolver! But although the level is not high, it is only D level, but it is not something that ordinary people like us can deal with..."
Luo Yadan said puzzledly: "Can genetic evolvers also become space marines?"
Star Marines have always been held by ordinary people.
When a genetic evolver enters the army, it is a formal battle order. Even an ordinary soldier has a way to be promoted.
Unlike them, they were restricted to death all at once.
Not only does it not count the battle damage rate, nor does it count as military merit, but you will only be a Star Marine until you die.
Xia Chujian thought of the 21st Military Merit that had just been abolished. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Maybe he came here to take advantage of the military merit..."
"By the way, I got the news that Catch-21 has been abolished. From now on, the military honors we Star Marines have won can no longer be taken away from us."
"We will be the same as those genetic evolvers, and we can be promoted according to military merit."
This is the first update, there will be a second update at five minutes past twelve noon.
