Interstellar boss, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 1640: Inherited Mark (First and Bigger Chapter, Contains Helen3500 Ball Leader +1)

Rong Tui Di sighed and wanted to cooperate with the Empress Tan Tai Zijun's wishes.

But he also knew that the issue of military rank was not something that could be decided by them and the empress alone.

For example, the colonel rank proposed by Zoron David last time could not be passed in the Senate for a long time, and was even rejected without a vote, resulting in Zoron David's rank being just a "nominal title" until now.

The abolition and demotion of military ranks must also be voted on by the Senate before final confirmation.

Obviously, he didn't think they could deal with the Senate regarding Xia Chujian's military rank.

Rong Tui Di said with embarrassment: "Your Majesty, if I want to demote you, I still need the Senate to vote and approve it..."

"If the Senate disagrees, there will be another bloody storm on Starnet..."

Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun sneered and said, "What positions do you all hold? Will you also be affected by the Internet?"

Zhan Xixin, the chief of staff of the General Information Department, said: "Your Majesty, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."

"The Internet is like this. It is a double-edged sword at all times."

"We are not influenced by the Internet. We need to pay attention to the Internet trends and not get too involved and make things difficult for ordinary people."

This is also true.

The Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, I won't demote you."

"As for military positions, you can do whatever you want."

"Also, this matter must be kept confidential and not known to others."

"Xia Chujian also needs to ask her to sign a confidentiality agreement."

"Don't tell anyone anything from now on. You are already a senior officer and you have no sense of confidentiality."

After the Empress Tan Tai Zijun finished speaking, she stood up and prepared to leave.

Zheng Xing, the chief of staff of the General Operations Department, glanced at Rong Tui Di, and after receiving a signal, he looked at the back of the empress Tan Tai Zi Jun and said loudly: "Your Majesty! Do you want to reconsider the deployment of the battle against the Zerg?!"

The Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun suddenly turned around, stared at Zheng Xing coldly, and said: "What are you considering? What else is there to consider?!"

"You are all the highest-ranking officials in the military, yet you don't want to fight. Are you afraid of death?!"

Everyone stood up quickly, expressing their loyalty while saying they didn't dare.

When Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun was no longer so angry, Rong Tui Di said, "Your Majesty, the problem is that after Xia Chu Jian reported these things to his superiors, he also announced these things to the public groups of the five major interstellar fleets."

"It was later leaked online because the message she posted in the group was forwarded by someone."

The Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun was furious: "How could this happen?!"

Rong Tui Di quickly said, "...because everyone knows the news, and now a chain reaction has started in the five major fleets."

"In the Fifth Interstellar Fleet, 60% of the people don't want to follow Zoron David and his men to the Southern Cross to fight the Zerg."

"The entire Fourth Star Fleet disobeyed orders. No one wants to go."

"At least 70% of the First, Second, and Third Star Fleets are opposed."

"The question now is not whether we can suppress public opinion, but how many soldiers can we mobilize to fight the Zerg."

Rong Tui Di's words shocked the Empress Tan Tai Zijun.

She couldn't help but take two steps back and said sharply: "...How is it possible?!"

"If a soldier doesn't obey orders, is he still a soldier?!"

"Isn't this a mutiny?!"

"How could you sit still? You didn't even explain it to me right from the start!"

Rong Tui Di hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind!"

"The army did not mutiniate."

"Everyone just has a lot of distrust towards Zoran David and his group."

"They already suspected it, but they had no evidence."

"After learning the truth about Xia Chujian's 'zero casualties' battle, I became more determined in my belief."

"It's not that they don't want to fight the Zerg, but they don't want to follow Zoron David and his group to fight."

The other chiefs of staff hurried to explain.

Are you kidding me? !

Once the label of "military mutiny" is put on, there will be rivers of blood!

When facing the Zerg invasion, if humans still kill each other on such a large scale, then there is no point in fighting the Zerg!
Although the five chiefs of staff each had their own selfish desires, they were rational enough not to let their selfish desires affect the overall situation.

Especially the overall situation now is the life and death of all mankind!
Anyone with a brain can see that there is no possibility of peace with the Zerg.

Of course, except for those who have no brains.

No matter if a person has any ability or not, he will only think about things in a way that is beneficial to him. If the result is not satisfactory, he can only pay with his life...

These five chiefs of staff are certainly not brainless people.

The only thing they are worried about now is this empress who just ascended to the throne from the common people!
Because she wanted to show off her abilities, control everything, and prove herself, she even held on to Zoran David and his group of people as a lifeline...

Her policies are always changing, making the people below overwhelmed and exhausted.

The final result was even worse than that of the previous emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan who didn't care about anything...

So they should be more careful about the empress above rather than the soldiers below.

Let’s put it this way, in their view, the possibility of the empress “giving orders at random” was much greater than the possibility of the soldiers below “mutinying”.

The Empress Tan Tai Zijun was also extremely shocked.

She never expected that Xia Chujian already had such a great influence in the army!

Just a few words and a video can make 70% of the empire's troops stand on her side!
This terrifying appeal...

The pupils of Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun narrowed again, and her pair of carefully drawn eyebrows like distant mountains involuntarily frowned.

For a moment, she regretted again that Ye Shijie was not alive.

Otherwise, with Ye Shijie as the bond, Xia Chujian would be the sharpest knife in her hand!

If that was the case, why would she place such a huge treasure on Zoran David and his group!

The soldiers of the Beichen Empire did not trust Zoron David. As an empress, how could she completely trust them? !
She was just... choosing the lesser of two evils...

The Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun remained silent, her expression becoming even colder.

Rong Tui Di cautiously advised: "Your Majesty, please reconsider the deployment of the troops this time..."

The expression on Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun's face was unpredictable. She said calmly, "What if I insist?"

Rong Tui Di smiled awkwardly and said, "If Your Majesty does not want to be respectable, then the people below will help Your Majesty to be respectable."

This is forcing the emperor to abdicate!
Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun raised her eyes and angrily looked at Rong Tui Di. Her lips trembled as she cursed this person who was still considered her relative in her heart...

He actually got involved with the people below and forced her!

The meaning of these five chiefs of staff was very clear: they wanted her to compromise.

If she doesn't compromise, these people will mutiny in a minute!

When 70% of the empire's troops stood against her, she knew that a mutiny of this intensity could not be dealt with by one, two or even dozens of high-level genetic evolvers.

That’s hundreds of millions of troops!

When they unite, even a 3S-level genetic evolver will be defeated! So what if she is the emperor?

The previous emperor was assassinated!

The Empress Tan Tai Zijun suddenly felt an indescribable fear.

It is a real fear of death when a person finds that his life is absolutely threatened and he will suffer a serious blow in the next moment.

This feeling was different from the usual anger, sadness, panic and unwillingness. This was the first time she felt from the bottom of her heart that if she didn't listen to these people, she might be dead...

But, she is the emperor!

She is the emperor of the Tantai clan!

How could she die in the palace? !

Her mother told her many times that as long as she stayed within the palace, nothing in this world could hurt her!
She also said that her father, the late Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan, was assassinated outside the imperial palace.

If he had not gone out and had stayed in the palace all the time, nothing would have been able to hurt him at all.

Thinking of this, Empress Tan Tai Zijun’s back straightened again.

She calmed down her anger, looked at the people in the conference room, and said calmly, "Oh? Really?"

"What if I don't agree today?"

Rong Tui Di sighed and shook his head, saying, "Your Majesty, politics is the art of compromise."

“You can’t just rush forward without stopping to look at the scenery and people around you.”

"If you leave the team for too long, the team will choose a new leader."

Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun sneered: "So, the real purpose has been revealed?"

"If I refuse to agree today, will you destroy me? Or... just take my life!"

After she said this, her whole demeanor changed.

At this moment, a mist flashed under the conference room.

Then, a black mist spread from underground, quickly seeping through the floor and into the conference room.

At first, no one noticed.

Rong Tui Di, the Chief of Staff of the General Logistics Department, Xuan Fangwei, and the Chief of Staff of the General Armament Department, Shao Jiajia, looked at each other.

They said in unison: "Your Majesty, please think twice."

Among the five chiefs of staff, only Zheng Xing, the chief of staff of the General Operations Department, is the only one of civilian origin.

The other four chiefs of staff were all of noble birth.

Compared with them, Zheng Xing's background is very ordinary.

Therefore, in the entire Joint Chiefs of Staff, he is responsible for the General Operations Department.

If we want to fight a war, he will be responsible.

He doesn't need to worry about other things.

Now, those chiefs of staff had obviously conspired, but he knew nothing.

However, he had long been accustomed to it, so he stood by silently, as if he was also one of them.

As usual, he slowly lowered his eyes, thinking out of sight, out of mind.

But at this moment, he looked down and did not see the black mist, but suddenly felt dizzy.

There was clearly nothing on the ground, but he could feel an extremely cold energy slowly seeping out from the floor.

It was so silent that even he, an S-level genetic evolver, felt that a great terror had appeared.

"There's an ambush! Run!"

He reacted the fastest, jumping up almost immediately and flying out of the meeting room.

This scared the Empress Tan Tai Zijun and the other four chiefs of staff.

Three of the chiefs of staff were also S-level gene evolvers. They were outstanding descendants carefully selected from aristocratic families to control military power. Their reactions were as quick as Zheng Xing's.

Seeing Zheng Xing rushing out first, they did not hesitate and followed him out.

Soon, the black fog spread faster and enveloped the entire conference room when they could no longer see it.

Everyone else escaped, only Rong Tui Di and Tan Tai Zi Jun were left behind.

Rong Tui Di fainted in an instant, and only the Empress Tan Tai Zijun stood blankly in the middle of the conference room, her eyes full of fear.

Because she found herself unable to move, and even her mental strength could not be used at all...

But just when she thought she would die in this eerie silence, a hissing sound rang out in her mind, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, or like a thousand silkworms spinning silk.

The next second, she realized that it was not a sound, but a thought!

Moreover, she can communicate directly with this thought!
"Hiss... is he his descendant? Hmm... the bloodline is very old, and there are generations that are not up to date."

What you mean is that you are his descendant? Hmm... the bloodline is too old, and each generation is getting weaker and weaker...

"You are so weak, yet you still want to serve me? How ridiculous!"

What this means is: Your strength is getting weaker and weaker, how can you worship me?
"Without the seal of succession, do you dare to ascend the throne?"

What does this mean: No mark? How did you ascend to the throne?
In the mind of the Empress Tan Tai Zijun, there appeared thoughts that seemed to come from ancient times.

She needs to experience it carefully to understand the ancient idea.

She responded carefully with her mind: "Who are you? I am... I am the current empress of the Beichen Empire."

The thought responded: "You are the emperor? Where is Tan Tai Hong Yuan? Didn't he tell you who I am?"

These words were meant to question whether her father, Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan, had ever told her about His existence.

The Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun began to communicate with this thought respectfully.

She responded in her mind: "Tan Tai Hong Yuan is the late emperor, my father. He passed away without ever mentioning the senior to the younger generation."

That ancient thought: "Don't bend your words, speak directly to people's words."

This makes her speak human language.

The Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun complained in her heart that the information exchanged through thoughts was all in flowery language and she had to spend a lot of effort to understand it, but now she was asked to speak human language!

It sounded as if the thought was speaking human language!
So many ancient sayings...

Although the Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun was angry, she certainly didn't dare to show it.

She tried to be as tactful and straightforward as possible and said: "...The late emperor is dead. He was assassinated."

The thought seemed surprised: "...With me here, how can anyone stab me?"

What He meant was: How could anyone possibly assassinate Him while I am here? !

Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun responded somewhat embarrassedly: "Uh... he was assassinated outside the palace."

That thought expressed regret: "Oh, my realm is in the palace. Outside the palace is beyond my reach, so I have no other plan."

What He meant was: Oh, my power is within the palace. Outside of this palace, I have no power.

Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun was a little excited: "Excuse me, senior, you are...?"
