I am reciting the Classic of Mountains and Seas in the interstellar

Chen Rongnan also has people in the Captain's Secretariat, so he naturally knows what the military merits that the Captain's Secretariat has drawn up fairly based on combat performance are like.

Qiu Shenju saw that Chen Rongnan was picking on him again, and he was so angry that he slammed the table and bench in the Captain's Room and threw several sets of coffee cups.

Then someone in the Captain's Secretariat took a screenshot of the military merits that were originally drawn up and "accidentally" posted it.

Although it was withdrawn immediately, many people still saw it.

So everyone knew that the one who deliberately suppressed Xia Chujian's military merits this time was the acting Captain Qiu Shenju!

Xia Chujian only picked him out to criticize him.

She circled Qiu Shenju's account and posted in the group over and over again: "Captain Qiu, what did I do wrong? Are you deliberately suppressing me?"

"Are the military merits of our Star Marines lower than those of others?"

Qiu Shenju was so angry that he almost went out to scold her in person...

But after all, he was over 50 years old, so he still held back and did not quarrel with Xia Chujian, a 19-year-old girl in the group in front of everyone.

Just when he was about to give in, Xia Chujian suddenly gave him a way out.

[Star Marine Xia Chujian, Captain of the 144th Squadron]: If Captain Qiu cannot give me fair military merits for some reason, I understand, and Captain Qiu has no choice.

[Star Marine Xia Chujian, Captain of the 144th Squadron]: But, Captain Qiu, can you replace my first and second military merits that were erased with double the treatment of the Star Marines who died and retired this time?

[144th Squadron Captain Space Marine Xia Chujian]: You don't know yet, right? Among the 1,000 people in my squadron, 500 are over 40 years old. Among them, 100 are over 50 years old.

[144th Squadron Captain Space Marine Xia Chujian]: So half of my squadron is overage. Only half of us are truly capable of fighting.

After Xia Chujian said this, the people in the group suddenly became quiet.

Because no one expected that Xia Chujian's squadron would be in such a situation!

Think about it again, she used such a force to wipe out 1,500 medium-sized Zerg soldiers, recaptured five asteroids, and only killed three people and injured more than 100 people. This loss ratio is already against the sky!

What's more, she publicly used her military merits to exchange pensions and retirement benefits for the overage space marines under her command!

For a while, many Star Marines were thinking about how to transfer to Xia Chujian's squadron...

And those middle and high-level officers who sympathized with Xia Chujian were even more shocked.

They knew that Xia Chujian was a very strong individual soldier, and it was not an exaggeration to say that she was a soldier king.

However, not only was she a strong individual soldier, she could also lead her soldiers, concentrate superior forces, and defeat the enemy one by one. This was the prototype of a famous general.

Because this kind of fighting style cannot be achieved simply by brute force or tactical tricks.

This requires the soldiers under her to obey her wholeheartedly, listen to her dispatch completely, and strictly implement the combat tasks she issued!

If any link is missing, her results will not be so eye-catching!

She can fight and lead soldiers to fight. This is really another Huo Yushen!

They were all hot in their hearts, and they stood up and spoke for Xia Chujian.

"Captain Qiu, Squadron Xia's request is reasonable. Would you like to consider it?"

"Captain Qiu, there is a precedent. One of our officers gave up his promotion in exchange for treatment and gave it to his soldiers."

"Captain Qiu, there are a lot of veterans who have served over the age limit in our Starfleet. Why not take this opportunity to improve their treatment in the same way? - You are thinking about us, and the entire Starfleet will be grateful to you!"

...

Convince Qiu Shenju to agree to Xia Chujian's conditions from all angles.

Qiu Shenju did intend to agree to Xia Chujian's conditions.

He just deliberately kept it to himself for a while, so that others would think that he was not forced by Xia Chujian, but was just bargaining on the same level.

At this time, he didn't even realize that Xia Chujian was a small second lieutenant, a squadron leader of the lowest-level space marines, how could he bargain with him on the same level!

But Qiu Shenju just felt that he had finally won back a city.

So he waited for a few minutes before replying reservedly.

[Captain Qiu Shenju of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet]: Since Squadron Xia is willing to share his military merits with his subordinates, I will follow suit.

[Captain Qiu Shenju of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet]: I declare that the retirement benefits and pensions of all active space marines of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet will be doubled!

Qiu Shenju's announcement finally saved him some face.

At least the cheers in the group now are all "Long live Captain Qiu"!

But privately, everyone knows that this is thanks to Xia Chujian.

Therefore, when the upper-level officers began to draft these treatment regulations and fix them, the people below were all using their connections to transfer to the squadron where Xia Chujian was!

No, it should be the column where Xia Chujian was!

Now, she is the deputy column leader of the fourth column of the space marines!

She has 250,000 space marines under her command!

If we don't consider the factor of genetic evolution, she is definitely a captain with hundreds of thousands of soldiers under her command...

After the new retirement and pension rules of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet were issued, all the space marines in the fleet who reached the retirement age really retired.

Because they are indeed old.

They cannot be compared with genetic evolutionists.

For ordinary people, forty years old is a watershed in terms of physical strength.

For those who do mental work, forty years old is still quite young.

But for those who do physical work, forty years old has already begun to show disadvantages.

When they have to use this physical strength to fight the Zerg on the battlefield, this disadvantage is even more obvious.

They can't drag down their comrades because of themselves.

And the only reason they didn't retire before was money.

Now that the money is in place, everyone is leaving very smoothly.

Xia Chujian even won four times the retirement benefits for the 500 over-age space marines under his command!

Because they have military merits.

But because they retired, their military merits cannot be counted, so they are directly converted into money.

Everyone was so happy that they almost went crazy. They wanted to put Xia Chujian's photo in their home and burn incense for her every morning, noon and night!

Xia Chujian smiled and said after knowing this: "Stop! Can't you expect me to do something nice?"

"What kind of person would be burned by people every morning, noon and night?!"

Of course, it was the people who left...

Everyone laughed and was in a very happy mood.

Because everyone was retiring, not going to die, there was no parting sentiment in the squadron.

As long as they were alive, they would keep in touch in the future.

Xia Chujian specially asked the people below to hold a farewell party and send these people off happily.

Her military achievements were also reported to the military by the Fifth Interstellar Fleet.

After verification, the military agreed to the proposal below and then reported it to the emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan.

The Beichen Empire is now a constitutional monarchy. The emperor has divided the executive and legislative powers, but the military power is still in his hands.

The last procedure for the promotion and appointment of all officers is the emperor.

At this time, the emperor is not a rubber stamp.

He has the final veto and decision-making power.

It depends on whether he can exercise this power.

Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan is also quite sensible. Most of the time, he listens to the advice of the military leaders and rarely makes his own decisions.

In all these years since he ascended the throne, it seems that he has only targeted Xia Chujian.

But most people are not surprised, after all, Xia Chujian killed someone's daughter...

Even if they are not legitimate children, for Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan, illegitimate daughters are still my daughters!

Who would really be indifferent?

So although legally speaking, he can't do anything, but in other places, he can make trouble whenever he can, and everyone is used to it.

Only Xia Chujian can't get used to it, but there is no way to resist, so she can only think about making up for it from other places.

For example, this time, she used her military merits that would definitely be wiped out by the emperor to exchange for better retirement and pension benefits for those Star Marines who served over the age limit.

She is not unaware of this kind of exchange and compromise.

People who have lived in the lower class since childhood really don't have the mindset of "rather die in glory than live in disgrace".

For her, staying alive, living with her aunt, is the most important thing.

After ensuring that she and her family can live, she can think about how to make her life better.

...

Xia Chujian has settled everything here, and there is no other plan for the time being, so she gave her subordinates two days off.

Those who stayed on duty, as well as those deputy squadron leaders, asked them to discuss how to select the space marines who requested to be transferred from other squadrons.

Yes, among the previous 1,000 people on Xia Chujian's side, after all the over-age space marines retired, there was a vacancy of 500 people, that is, half of the team was empty.

She can't eat empty salary either...

The people above are watching her closely, ready to catch her pigtail at any time.

Xia Chujian doesn't want to make such a "unprecedented fortune" that sucks the blood of soldiers, and she won't eat empty salary at all, so she asked to immediately replenish the manpower and equipment.

These things are handled by her deputy squadron leaders.

Xia Chujian went to the secret base in the 150th district of the Shaofu Star alone.

She flew here in her Xuannv Qingyao titanium mecha.

Because her small bat fighter that can perform space jumps was parked here, not at the garrison base in the 120th district of the West.

She hadn't been here for two weeks, and the place hadn't changed much.

There were only some sheds built for raising livestock, and the automatic feeding devices were in place.

Xia Chujian looked around and asked Xia Zhuang who stayed here: "How many livestock can be raised here, do you have a plan?"

Xia Zhuang hurriedly said: "Yes, this livestock shed can raise 100 pigs, and over there can raise 2,000 chickens."

"There is a pond opposite, which can raise 10,000 ducks and fish. You don't need to buy fish fry. The wild fish there are very good. Just catch the wild fish fry and raise them in the pond."

Xia Chujian said: "Then can you breed piglets?"

Xia Zhuang: "..."

There will be new updates after 5:00 p.m.
