Chapter 1369 This Is Called Power (Second Update)

It was a battle worth remembering.

Among the millions of troops of the Fourth Star Fleet, one million are elite combat teams composed of genetic evolutionists, and there are millions of Star Marines.

In that battle, three-quarters of the one million elite combat team members died.

Millions of Star Marines were all killed in battle...

The general public did not know about this tragic result, but Chen Rongnan and other senior officers of the Starfleet were all aware of it.

This is one of the reasons why the military did not publicize the "tragic victory" of the Fourth Star Fleet.

Of course, Ye Chenfeng, the captain of the Fourth Star Fleet, was very dissatisfied with the results of this battle, which was also one of the reasons.

As the captain of the Fourth Star Fleet, during that war, he didn't know that his deputy captain in charge of operations had been in a deep coma!

After that battle, he made a profound self-examination to the military headquarters, saying that he had problems with the fleet control, which worsened the situation at that time.

He did not blame Qiu Zijun, but praised Qiu Zijun. He even said that even if he replaced the executive deputy captain in charge of operations at that time, he could not do better.

Because at that time, the Beichen Empire's army had no experience in fighting against the Zerg army.

The weapons are not good enough, and the Zerg army does not come with a thousand or two thousand, but a medium-sized Zerg army of 100,000!

This kind of result is indeed the best result that can be obtained under the circumstances within one's ability.

Qiu Zijun was awarded the title immediately after the incident, and it was with his single-handed support that Qiu Zijun was promoted from second lieutenant to major battalion commander, and his subordinates controlled the elite combat order of a battalion.

Although this elite combat sequence is only one battalion.

But the soldiers in this battalion are not ordinary people like Star Marines, but an elite combat order composed of at least B-level genetic evolvers!

She was also equipped with a Futian-class starry sky cruiser, which was two levels higher than the captured Xingjiu-class starry sky cruiser that Xia Chu saw.

The Futian-class starry sky cruiser is also the highest level among the Beichen Empire's starry sky cruisers.

In addition, there are two columns of Star Marines, that is, two million Star Marines, assigned to her command.

At that time, Catch-21 had not yet been abolished, and the Star Marines were not yet considered a combat order, so the number of soldiers was not restricted by rank.

Otherwise, she would not be able to control two million Star Marines as a battalion commander.

This is what makes Chen Rongnan unhappy now.

The titles and powers Qiu Zijun was able to obtain were directly related to her noble birth.

But later Qiu Zijun spoke under her real name as Xia Chujian on the Internet, which angered some people, so she rolled up her military rank and returned to second lieutenant.

Moreover, the position of battalion commander has also been eliminated.

This operation also made many people in the military dissatisfied.

Apart from what happened later, in Chen Rongnan's opinion, Xia Chujian's military achievements and achievements were more substantial than Qiu Zijun's.

Last time, she only had a small team, and she annihilated four thousand medium-sized Zerg by rescuing and replenishing her troops at the same time!

This time, they only had a thousand space marines, and they actually captured five asteroids!

Also, they just lost three soldiers!

In this battle damage ratio, who can be better than her? !

But just because she is an ordinary person and a civilian, not only is her military rank blocked, but her military merit is also reduced by more than half!

The last time, Chen Rongnan failed to help her argue.

This time, he wants to help her get back the military merit that was suppressed last time!

Therefore, among senior military officers, he was the first to speak out.

Even after confirming the authenticity of the videos and pictures, he stood up and expressed his position before the official ownership of the four asteroids was determined.

As soon as he said this, more and more middle- and high-level officers agreed.

Because Xia Chujian's achievements were real.

And it's not just the first time, it's the second time.

These people are all comparing themselves to each other. We are all soldiers. It would be too despicable to try to hinder others in terms of military achievements...

Xia Chujian silently watched these people's speeches.

Judging from their military rank and authority, at least two-thirds of the mid-level officers have expressed support for her.

But less than one-tenth of the senior military officers expressed support for her...

This is the gap.

Because 100% of the high-ranking officers are nobles or citizens with noble backgrounds.

As for middle-level officers, only 30% are nobles.

It can be seen that this support rate is strictly divided according to class.

Xia Chujian waited for a while and saw that the acting captain Qiu Shenju still didn't express his position, so he took the initiative to circle him again and sent a message.

[Xia Chumei, Captain of the 144th Squadron, Star Marine]: Last time, Captain Qiu said that even if I recapture an asteroid, he would immediately ask for credit for me, and he would also give me a special star cruiser.

With that said, he sent out the screenshot of Qiu Shenju’s speech last time.

Then he asked: Excuse me, does it still count?

In fact, Qiu Shenju had been silently peeking at the screen when Xia Chujian first attracted him.

But as the captain of the entire Fifth Star Fleet, even if he is an agent, it is impossible to express his position at this time.

joke!

So is Xia Chujian a good person? !

They are all registered with His Majesty the Emperor. What will happen to those who offend the Emperor?

Do you really think he deliberately suppressed her military achievements last time? !

This woman, who is definitely from the bottom of society, has a humble background and definitely doesn’t know what “guessing the superiors’ intentions” means!

He laughed at her while watching the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers stir up trouble.

Anyway, these people have no say in military merit, military rank and the actual power of officers.

Only the high-level officials, the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the military, and His Majesty the Emperor can influence the appointment, dismissal and promotion of the army...

Xia Chujian, even if she killed the high-level officials in the Zerg, as long as these people don’t approve, she will still get nothing!

What is this called? !

This is called power!

The silent pleasure in Qiu Shenju’s heart was so great that it went straight to the sky...

Just then, the executive deputy captain Chen Rongnan, who was used to opposing him, actually jumped out again!

This person’s military rank and authority can, to a certain extent, represent the will of the high-level officials of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet.

Qiu Shenju frowned in dissatisfaction.

Chen Rongnan... must be dealt with.

Just when he was thinking about how to communicate with the military superiors, he saw Xia Chujian throw out another chat screenshot.

It was the same sentence he said jokingly in the group last time!

Qiu Shenju's face flushed and his neck thickened in an instant, staring at the chat page on the virtual display screen, wishing that someone would drag Xia Chujian out and shoot him a hundred times!

What does this woman mean!

She forced her superiors to give her military merits, promotions and promotions in the group. Does she really think that the Fifth Interstellar Fleet is her family's? !

Even the royal family dare not show off in front of him like this!

Qiu Shenju was so angry that his teeth were clattering.

But at this point, he couldn't help but speak...

Who told him to talk nonsense in a group with so many people last time!

If he still didn't say a word, his prestige as a captain would be completely gone...

Qiu Shenju took a deep breath, and when the group was about to make a fuss, he still came forward to reply.

[Captain Qiu Shenju of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet]: Hahahaha! Squadron Xia's unexpected attack this time was really powerful! However, we have just received the news and are currently verifying it. When the people who went to the five asteroids to verify come back, we will hold a meeting to discuss it!

[Captain Qiu Shenju of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet]: Our Fifth Interstellar Fleet is a collective. Many things are not decided by me alone. Please be patient, Squadron Xia!

His words were soft enough...

He is a colonel and acting captain, but he actually said "please" to Xia Chujian, a second lieutenant!

Anyone who has a little brain and can read the mood will not continue to be aggressive at this moment.

Qiu Shenju thought so.

But Xia Chujian would not let him lead her by the nose.

In fact, she knew that Qiu Shenju would not give her a commendation and promotion just because she sent a few messages in the group.

But if she didn't show it publicly, she was worried that her military merits would be secretly blackened...

Or even "replaced"!

Wouldn't she lose a lot then?

So she chose to lay out the facts in front of the entire fleet.

In this way, even if someone is so bold and stupid that he wants to take credit for her military achievements, she has so many witnesses!

This is all first-hand evidence.

Xia Chujian was even recording continuously.

She waited until Qiu Shenju spoke before she spoke again.

[144th Squadron Captain Space Marine Xia Chujian]: Captain Qiu is worthy of being the captain. This is really a mature move. But why send someone to verify the news of the five asteroids?

Qiu Shenju saw Xia Chujian's reply and snorted in his heart, thinking, if I don't verify, I will give you a promotion on the spot or what? - Don't be too idealistic!

He also sneered in reply.

[Fifth Interstellar Fleet Captain Qiu Shenju]: Xia Squadron, we need concrete evidence to reward meritorious service. You said you recovered five asteroids, but you didn't bring those five asteroids here, right? Hahahaha! Therefore, we must verify the evidence in person! Words are not enough, seeing is believing!

[144 Squadron Captain Space Marine Xia Chujian]: Ah? That's right... But isn't the coverage range of the radar system on the Fifth Interstellar Fleet's Space Carrier one light year?

[144 Squadron Captain Space Marine Xia Chujian]: Those five asteroids are less than one light year away from here... Even less than a fraction of a light year, why not use the quantum wave radar on the space carrier? Isn't that radar able to cover a distance of one light year?

Qiu Shenju was so angry at Xia Chujian's words that he immediately replied without caring about the cause and effect.

[Fifth Interstellar Fleet Captain Qiu Shenju]: Squadron Xia, this group is a public place, and we have to be responsible when we speak in the group. How can you just open your mouth and talk nonsense? !

There will be new updates at 5:00 pm.
