Interstellar boss, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 1534 Good Stories (First Update)
Under the promotion of Chen Rongnan, the top leaders of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet passed a resolution to promote Xia Chujian to the rank of commander of the Fourth Combat Regiment, although some people were reluctant.

Meanwhile, at the military headquarters in the imperial capital of the Beichen Empire, a heated debate broke out regarding Xia Chujian's military rank.

In the end, just as Chen Rongnan expected, a compromise was made for Xia Chujian. He was not awarded the rank of colonel immediately, but was awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel instead.

In the Beichen Empire, the rank of lieutenant colonel is sufficient.

At least to hold the most powerful position of legion commander, a lieutenant colonel is more than enough.

When Empress Tan Tai Zijun saw the military rank reported by the military department, which was not the colonel she proposed, but lieutenant colonel, she couldn't help but smile slightly.

Just what she wanted.

Because she deliberately proposed to award Xia Chujian the rank of colonel, so that the military would definitely change it to lieutenant colonel in order to show their presence.

Her original intention was to award Xia Chujian the rank of lieutenant colonel.

She was not so radical as to give the rank of colonel to an ordinary person.

But she also knew that the people under her would not obey her orders just because she was the emperor.

Because of the legal restrictions of constitutional monarchy, she, as the emperor, could not do whatever she wanted.

So ask for a high price first, and then let the other party make a move, giving her the next level of requirements.

The so-called asking for a high price and paying a low price.

When dealing with these people, she also has to be circuitous...

Thinking of this, the empress Tan Tai Zijun felt that what this emperor did was really boring.

……

Not long after, Xia Chujian's military rank and position in the army were all in place along with the commendation and rewards from the Empress Tan Tai Zijun.

Only half a month had passed since the battle that shocked the entire Beichen Empire in which "a million enemies were annihilated with zero casualties".

This is the fastest title promotion in the Beichen Empire since Huo Yushen was awarded the title of marshal.

In the past, such matters would have taken half a year to go through the procedures.

Of course, in wartime, all procedures are simplified and it will take less than half a year.

Now that the Empress has declared war on the Zerg, it is already wartime, so the procedures were completed quickly.

At the Fifth Interstellar Fleet's starship headquarters, Xia Chujian attended the regular meeting of senior fleet officers for the first time.

She was wearing a lieutenant colonel's uniform with a striking golden armband with two bars and two stars on her arm.

That is the symbol of the legion commander.

The Beichen Empire has five interstellar fleets, and the main combat forces of each fleet are divided into four legions.

This legion includes all the military forces of the fleet, including non-genetic evolvers and genetic evolvers.

Only the two hundred high-ranking officers who control the resources and lifeline of the entire fleet are not included in this list.

In the Beichen Empire's interstellar fleet, anyone who can be considered a high-ranking officer must be at least a colonel.

A lieutenant colonel like Xia Chujian is considered the highest military rank below senior officers.

There are only a thousand people in total.

These one thousand people are all qualified to be awarded the military position of legion commander.

Everyone can lead an army of millions.

Now Xia Chujian has been promoted from the lowest-ranking second lieutenant of the ordinary Star Marines to lieutenant colonel, and his military rank has reached the highest level.

Commander, this is the dream of many middle and low-level officers!
Including senior military officers, many are willing to give up military positions without actual military power and become corps commanders.

So in theory, even a lieutenant colonel can be awarded the military rank of corps commander, but in reality, corps commanders are all colonels.

Now, there is only Xia Chujian, the corps commander with the rank of lieutenant colonel.

The legion commander who was replaced by her was named Song Ruguan, and he was the previous legion commander of Xia Chujian's column.

Song Ruguan was born into a noble family of earls. After graduating from university, he joined the army and later, with the help of his family, worked as a civilian in the Fourth Interstellar Fleet.

Later, when the Fifth Interstellar Fleet was rebuilt, Song Ruguan found an opportunity and quickly took the lead in the Fifth Interstellar Fleet, which many nobles were unwilling to go to at the time, and even obtained the powerful military position of legion commander.

Because he himself was born into a high-ranking noble family and was not a side branch, there were many high-ranking military officials who were willing to give face to his family.

But he was afraid of war and came to the Fifth Interstellar Fleet to gain experience because he felt that Huo Yushen had already fought all the wars and there would no longer be any major battles in the Beichen Empire. He took the opportunity to come here to get benefits so that when he could retire, he could work as a senior civilian in the imperial capital's military department.

He planned well. In peacetime, he was more than capable of being a high-ranking and well-paid leader of the Free and Easy Army.

But unexpectedly, after a few years of peace, the Zerg army invaded the Beichen galaxy.

In the blink of an eye, they occupied the East Tianyuan Divine Kingdom, the Western Maneli Federation and the Southern Cross Principality.

The entire Beichen Empire has reached a critical juncture of survival.

Now is wartime, and he can't bear it if he is required to lead the legion into battle.

When the Fifth Interstellar Fleet headed for the frontier position on Shaofu Star last year, Song Ruguan had already taken a long-term sick leave.

This is also why Xia Chujian only needs to ask Chen Rongnan for instructions.

Her immediate superior, the army commander Song Ruguan, was not in the fleet at all. Now the empress Tan Tai Zijun was being attacked by the aristocracy and was in a state of panic. She wanted to promote a general from a civilian background. Xia Chujian happened to be there, and at this critical moment, she proved her worth with a flawless battle.

For the Empress Tan Tai Zijun, it couldn't be better.

After weighing the pros and cons, she felt that promoting Xia Chujian was the best way to break the impasse for her at the moment.

For Xia Chujian, this is also a good opportunity for her to break through the ceiling of civilian military positions and realize her personal value.

Therefore, the empress's decision was indeed a combination of the right time, the right place, and the right people, and it was a win-win situation for her and Xia Chujian.

As soon as this news was announced on Star Network, Xia Chujian once again became a hot topic.

Because she made history again.

In addition to the previous victory in the battle against the Zerg, she was also the first civilian to be promoted to legion leader, and the first non-genetic evolver to serve as legion leader!
She is even the first woman to serve as the head of a legion!
With so many bonuses stacked up, it's simply a hexagonal warrior with no weaknesses!

In addition, the fact that she had been suppressed by the previous emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan was also "dug up" and circulated on the Star Network.

For a time, the story of the empress becoming the leader of the female army also gained many fans on the Star Network.

The reputation of Empress Tan Tai Zijun among the common people turned around overnight, and she became an emperor warmly supported by ordinary people!

Some people have even compared her with the founding emperor Tan Tai Lin, calling her the most outstanding emperor after Tan Tai Lin!
After gaining the support of the people, Empress Tan Tai Zijun finally no longer had to be so cautious in front of upper-class people.

These nobles no longer dared to unite and make trouble for Empress Tan Tai Zijun in overt or covert ways.

At least, she was able to control important figures in the army in a short period of time and use this to make a great comeback, which has proved her ability.

The empress also suffered the consequences of her previous reckless advances.

These upper-class people also knew that they could not push the imperial power too hard.

So the two sides reached a temporary consensus.

The Empress Tan Tai Zijun was also convinced that her strategic policy of declaring war on the Zerg was absolutely correct.

This is the right path, and she can go down it.

The Empress Tan Tai Zijun took this opportunity to officially announce the war against the Zerg.

She chose to broadcast live on StarNet.

On this day, the Empress Tan Tai Zijun wore an imperial robe, a twelve-tassel crown made of natural sea pearls on her head, and personally held the manifesto in her hands. She read out the "Manifesto against the Zerg" in front of the people of the entire Beichen Empire in the royal live broadcast room.

"The starry sky is vast, and the creation of nature is full of things; the universe is vast, and the human spirit is the most enduring."

"However, there are some strange insects that eat away at the dark yellow. They are born in filthy soil and grow in foreign lands."

"Look at our human race, we inherit wisdom. We forge mechas to defend the way, and build starships to patrol the sky."

"How can we allow aliens to trample on the land of Beichen? How can we tolerate evil insects to pollute the top of the stars?"

"Today, we will gather a hundred thousand starships and deploy tens of millions of divine soldiers to fight a decisive battle!"

"The day the edict arrives will be the day your race will be exterminated. If you repent, quickly retreat to the realm of the void; if you remain stubborn, you will be punished by the burning universe!"

"We swear to lead the army of justice, fight to the end, and exterminate the aliens!"

"I declare that from now on, we will launch a frontal attack on the Zerg!"

"The Zerg are not to be feared! The Zerg army is not invincible!"

"We humans also have outstanding generals like Lieutenant Colonel Xia Chujian, who wiped out a million-strong Zerg army with zero casualties!"

"Humanity will win! Beichen will win!"

"We must win! We must win! We must win!"

When Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun read to the end, she also felt her heart surge with emotion and couldn't control herself.

How she wished she could lead the army and flatten the Southern Cross star region occupied by the Zerg!
If there could be zero casualties...

The thought flashed through her mind for a moment, but soon she calmed down.

She also knew that Xia Chujian's victory could not be replicated.

She was just lucky.

But with such good luck, why can't I have a chance at it myself?

Isn't my luck bad?

I am so unlucky that I could rise from the common people to the throne? !
No one in this world is luckier than her.

Empress Tan Tai Zijun looked out the window of the imperial study at the skyline of the capital of Beichen Empire and curled her lips slightly.

……

Just as the Beichen Empire took advantage of the aftermath of Xia Chujian's victory to declare war on the Zerg, the Zerg were also on high alert.

However, they were not facing the formal declaration of war from the Beichen Empire, but were watching some video images sent back from Shaofu Star's largest satellite in the asteroid belt - Shaowei VII.

What they saw was that the electromagnetic air defense system on the Zerg VII had failed. Not only did it not target the invading humans, but it was targeting the Zerg's own army instead!
This time, the annihilation of millions of Zerg was not the credit of the human race at all, but purely the credit of these electromagnetic air defense systems!
A giant beetle, five meters tall, looked at the video and roared angrily, "I told you long ago! Human things! Can't be used!"

"These weapons and equipment from humans look good, but they will not be used by us!"

There will be a second update at five minutes past twelve noon!
