Interstellar boss, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 1225 Military Merit Exchange System (Second Update)

Quan Yuxun said with emotion: "As more and more people conduct private transactions, slowly, some people begin to integrate this system."

"So gradually, there was an unwritten rule and a private exchange system in the Beichen Empire's interstellar fleet."

"In other words, according to the scale of the Space Marines' meritorious service, they can be exchanged for some benefits that the Space Marines can enjoy."

"Then those who want these military merits can give the meritorious Space Marines a certain amount of material compensation according to this exchange system, and they can 'reasonably' transfer these military merits to their own names and get themselves promoted."

Xia Chujian instantly thought of what Sang Yadi had told her, that their military achievements on Senze Star were exchanged for material conditions.

Although they are not space marines, they are just ordinary civilians, and their contributions are so great that they make people jealous...

Even though the laws of the Beichen Empire prohibit the exchange of military merits between regular soldiers and officers, some people still take the risk.

However, the conditions offered by the other party were very generous. In addition to the real house and money, there was also citizenship for the whole family.

This was something that Sangyadi and her family members could not resist, and they urged them to accept it.

At that time, Sang Yadi did not explain it clearly, so Xia Chujian thought it was just an accidental behavior.

Now I know that this is not a coincidence, but a regular behavior that has formed a system.

There is actually a term circulated privately called "Military Merit Exchange System".

Xia Chujian couldn't help but ask, "Do the people above know about this?"

Quan Yuxun smiled and said, "What do you think? Do you think the people above us wouldn't know about this large-scale, systematic exchange?"

Xia Chujian was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "I see, it can only be summed up in four words: 'officials protect each other.'"

Nobles helping nobles.

Because those who can offer generous material conditions in exchange for military merits can only be nobles.

It is difficult for ordinary people, even wealthy ones, to gain such status in the military.

Moreover, if an ordinary person dares to do this, the noble officers above will not ignore it.

Quan Yuxun said: "This is true. We all know that this is not good, but it is indeed a good compensation for the Space Marines."

"Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people who, knowing that there is no future for Space Marines in the army, would still flock to the army to become Space Marines."

Xia Chujian said: "I understand. For ordinary people, this is also a way to exchange life for money."

“The price/performance ratio should be good.”

Xia Chujian knew how much an ordinary person could earn in a year when he was in Mulan City on Guiyuan Star.

Employees in formal companies on Gui Yuanxing earn 500 Beichen coins a month, which is considered an upper-middle level salary, and they can live a decent life in Mulan City.

Of course, this salary is only on Guiyuan Star.

On other planets, everyone's average salary would be a little higher.

But no matter how high it is, it will never reach the scale of hundreds of thousands of Beichen coins a month or millions of Beichen coins a year.

That kind of income can only be earned by at least upper-middle level business owners, businessmen, or corporate executives, senior university professors, high-level scientists in the Academy of Sciences, and officers at the colonel level and above in the military.

The nobles, even the most ordinary barons, were on another level.

With the income from their fiefdom, they could easily make tens of millions every year.

Moreover, the higher the title, the higher the income, which can even increase exponentially.

The vast majority of nobles have been passed down for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

Their old money is not just ordinary old money, it is old money that is covered with pulp.

How can ordinary working class people like them compare to this?

Of course, Xia Chujian could understand it, but she did not agree with it.

Quan Yuxun said, "It's good that you understand. Military merits of your magnitude, if given to any captain, would at least be awarded three special military merits, and the rank could be promoted from captain to colonel."

"If you are already a colonel-level officer, there will be no problem in directly being promoted to general."

"If a general officer can achieve military merits like yours, the five marshals will become six marshals..."

Xia Chujian frowned: "No way? Do you think the military achievement I made this time is really that great?"

Quan Yuxun affirmed: "It seems that you still don't understand the real difficulty of fighting against the Zerg."

"Not to mention that the medium-level Zerg are difficult to fight, even this low-level Zerg Nest Builder with weak combat power is very difficult to deal with."

"And they are also well aware of the principle of 'burning both the good and the bad'."

"Every time these Zerg nest builders are surrounded and attacked, they will be desperate. Their leader, or 'supervisor', will send out self-destructive sound waves, ordering the Zerg nest builders to spray themselves or each other with highly corrosive liquids, completely destroying the bodies of all the Zerg nest builders."

"That level of intense carbonization can destroy all of the Zerg's genetic chains. At the same time, no useful substances can be extracted from their outer shell or interior for research."

"We have been trying to conduct targeted research on these lowest-level Zerg nest builders since the beginning of the war, but it seems that there are experts on the Zerg side who have predicted our behavior patterns and carried out targeted treatment."

"So far, their tactics have been very effective."

"Because the Zerg Nest Builders truly obey their leader's orders unconditionally."

"Unlike humans, most of them will obey unconditionally, but there is always a small group of people who think they are smarter than others, and either secretly disobey orders or secretly betray and surrender to the enemy..."

"They hope that by doing this, they can get a glimmer of hope from the Zerg." "However, the Zerg are not humans, they will not follow these twists and turns."

"For them, killing and plundering are their code of conduct."

"Therefore, our research has been difficult to advance, and the Zerg army can still maintain their physical advantage and fight us."

Xia Chujian couldn't help but say, "...then wouldn't it be enough to just kill the enemy leader, or the 'supervising officer'?"

Quan Yuxun raised his eyebrows and said, "How did you beat him to death?"

"These Zerg do have different appearances according to their levels."

"But the Zerg leader or war commander in each level looks exactly like the other Zerg. He is the most common and popular one in the entire group."

"When a Zerg squad stands in front of you, either they beat us, or, when they find themselves losing, the leader will send out a special sound wave to order the Zerg to self-destruct."

"And we can't capture them alive."

"The way we guarantee victory is to use high-energy nano-explosives to blow them all to ashes."

"It's no different from them destroying themselves together with the enemy."

"So the hundreds of intact bodies of Zerg Nest Builders you obtained this time are an invaluable military achievement."

Xia Chujian really understood.

Perhaps given such great military achievements, no one could pay equal compensation.

The military merit exchange system is no longer sufficient.

Even if she compromised and only accepted half of the material exchange conditions, the other party would not be reassured, and still could not afford it.

What if you can't afford such military merit exchange conditions but still want military merit?
The only thing left for her, the one with real military merit, is to physically disappear.

As long as she is killed, all the spoils and military merits will belong to others.

Killing her is just killing a civilian Space Marine, someone that His Majesty the Emperor hates.

No matter how you look at it, this is a good deal with no investment and huge profits!
Xia Chujian understood at this time that even if she wanted to, she couldn't use such military achievements to challenge the conscience of those noble officers...

It is hard to say whether those noble officers have any conscience.

Xia Chujian strengthened his determination.

She raised her eyebrows and said, "Then I won't hand it over. Anyway, this is my personal spoils and I have full control over it."

Quan Yuxun immediately said, "I want one-third of your Zerg Nest Builder's corpse on behalf of the Quan family."

"Don't worry, I won't let you work for nothing."

"I will have someone draft a proposal to amend Catch-21 right away."

The Senate of the Beichen Empire is responsible for making, amending and abolishing laws.

Those congressmen argue about various laws every day, and then, driven by the interest groups behind them, serve the interests of the groups.

The Space Marines don’t have their own interest groups, so of course no one will speak for them.

The Quan family represented by Quan Yuxun already has great influence in the legal community.

Quan Yuxun himself is the chief legal adviser of the Senate.

Although his words are not decisive, he is still an important figure.

If it is proposed by him, the possibility of success will be greater.

For Quan Yuxun, this was not necessary before.

But now, Xia Chujian is a space marine, so this is necessary.

Xia Chujian nodded: "Thank you very much, please send someone to come here secretly and don't alarm anyone above."

Quan Yuxun said, "I know, don't worry, I will come here in person."

If anything happens, he can adapt to the situation.

Of course, because the profit was so huge, he was not confident in handing it over to any of his men.

So, he had to go there in person.

Xia Chujian agreed on the time and place with him, avoiding the time and place of the transaction with Su Buyan.

She planned to make deals with several parties, but these parties did not need to know each other.

Xia Chujian had already discussed with Quan Yuxun the time and place to hand over the complete body of the Zerg nest builder, and Zong Ruoning's video call invitation came late.

Xia Chujian knew that relying solely on the Quan family was not enough.

Zong Ruoan had just been elected as a member of the Senate, and the Zong family's influence in the Senate had officially surfaced.

Xia Chujian hung up the video call with Quan Yuxun and answered the video call with Zong Ruoning.

Similarly, Zong Ruoning saw the black screen on the virtual display screen and asked hurriedly: "Xia Chujian, are you in trouble on the front line? Tell me and I will handle it."

This is the second update. There will be a new update at 05:00 in the evening!
