Interstellar boss, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 1660: Thank You (First Update)
Zheng Xing is the Chief of Staff of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and is in charge of the General Operations Department. This time, he has indeed received full authorization from the Empress to preside over this battle, so all the pressure is on him.

Before he had time to think of a way to keep his position, he was jointly dismissed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The speed was even faster than the last time he drove Huo Yushen away.

Zheng Xing, the chief of staff of the General Operations Department, was born into a commoner family, but his wife was from a distant branch of the Rong family, so he actually had some connection with the nobility.

This is also one of the important reasons why he was able to defeat other officers of civilian origin and become one of the five top leaders of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

This relationship alone is not enough to gain Rong's full support and cultivation.

He was put here just to serve as a mascot, to appease those civilians who always feel that there is a ceiling in their career and they cannot be promoted.

Now that the time has come to take the blame, he naturally becomes the best scapegoat.

Therefore, in the whole incident, so far, apart from those officers and soldiers of the Purple Lord Interstellar Fleet who have been wiped out, Zheng Xing is the only one who has received harm and punishment.

As soon as Empress Tan Tai Zijun finished her live broadcast, the chief imperial physician announced that her condition had worsened and she was taken to the medical cabin.

It is said that he needs long-term recuperation and cannot even handle daily affairs.

However, before entering the medical cabin, Empress Tan Tai Zijun also issued an edict, announcing that military power would be entrusted to the military and the cabinet, and that the Senate would supervise it.

However, it was also clearly stated that if there were any major problems that could not be resolved, they still had to be reported to the Empress for the final decision.

This is like being a hands-off boss.

With Zheng Xing's resignation, one seat among the five major leaders of the Joint Chiefs of Staff became vacant.

The entire aristocratic class, except for the four top nobles, began to compete for this seat.

This time, they didn't even bother pretending and went straight for the nobility, refusing to consider any officers of commoner origin.

Even if they are relatives of the nobility, it is not allowed.

Their reason was that the only senior military officer of civilian origin had caused such a big mess, which clearly showed that civilians could not be trusted.

The nobles, only the nobles, are of one mind with the royal family and truly share the same destiny with the country!
But what they didn't say was that the emperor who actually caused all this was the top aristocrat.

Even among ordinary people, not many people realize this.

Most of them are still at the level that the emperor is deceived and that treacherous ministers are the ones who are ruining the country.

But the upper nobles all knew that this was the best opportunity to share power with the emperor.

The swordplay and saber-rattling from the upper echelons had no effect on Xia Chujian at all.

She has been very busy these days.

Because her quantum optical computer account was filled with information from almost all the people she had added as friends.

Chen Yanjun and other college classmates were so grateful that they burst into tears and almost knelt down to worship her as their savior.

There were messages of gratitude one after another, and I even recorded a video and sent it to her to express my gratitude.

Those people from the Fifth Interstellar Fleet who did not go because they did not believe in Zoren David and believed in Xia Chujian were also very grateful to her.

Because if it weren't for her, they would have been the ones to be reduced to ashes.

These people also include the Fourth Interstellar Fleet, especially the Fourth Interstellar Fleet's Commander-in-Chief Ye Chenfeng.

He was feeling uneasy at that time, and after getting confidence from Xia Chujian, he decided to disobey orders and thus saved his fleet.

It was also him who first tagged Xia Chujian's account in the Starfleet group and sent a message.

[Fourth Starship·Ye Chenfeng]: I chose to believe you, and it was right. If you hadn't stepped forward, more than half of the people here today would not be here. What should I do to be worthy of your great contribution?
[Fifth Starship Captain Xia Chujian]: Commander Ye, you are too kind. Just say thank you. Smile.JPG.

As soon as she released this message, it immediately caused a wave of "worship" of Xia Chujian.

Messages began to flood the screen.

"Thank you, Lieutenant Colonel Xia."

"Thank you, Lieutenant Colonel Xia."

"Thank you, Lieutenant Colonel Xia."

……

After reading thousands or tens of thousands of messages, someone suddenly noticed that Xia Chujian's military rank had become company commander!

"Huh? Isn't Lieutenant Colonel Xia the corps commander? How did he become the company commander?"

"Oh, right! Is it written wrong?"

"…This is a name set by the system. Everyone has real-name authentication."

"So the system changed Colonel Xia's military rank to company commander? Does the system have such great authority?"

"What are you thinking? The system doesn't have such authority... The system will only set names according to the facts."

"So the fact is that Lieutenant Colonel Xia was demoted from corps commander to company commander."

"Damn! Are these military personnel crazy? And that His Majesty who always vomits blood!"

"If you don't know how to fight a war, don't interfere! They won the battle, but instead of rewarding them properly, you just let them go!"

"Praising a traitor so highly will eventually lead to the annihilation of the entire army!"

"Don't these people think that enough of our people have died?"

For a while, the group was in an uproar. No one even hesitated to criticize the empress.

Since the empress herself has issued an edict of repentance, why can't she allow others to say anything?

Angry people even posted this news on Starnet.

#Traitors are promoted to higher positions, and real heroes are demoted to company commanders. Where is justice? ! ”#.

Under the topic, someone talked about how the former corps commander Xia Chujian was demoted from corps commander to company commander after winning a battle with an unprecedented zero casualties.

This topic, along with the previous topic of complete defeat, became a hot topic again.

Not only do ordinary netizens not understand this matter, even many upper-class people don’t quite understand what this means.

It's wartime now!

The Zerg are about to attack us. How can we suppress the real heroes?
However, no matter how heated the public opinion was, those people in the military no longer cared about Xia Chujian, a small minion.

Because the competition for the vacant position of Chief of Staff of the General Operations Department has reached a fever pitch.

They called all the members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to a closed-door meeting.

And communicate with the outside world through the color of the smoke rising from the conference room chimney.

If white smoke rises, it means there is no result yet.

If black smoke rises, it means there is a result.

This closed-door meeting was a high-level meeting that could not be accessed by any communication network.

The Zerg, however, will not wait for your Beichen Empire to be ready before engaging in a decisive battle.

On the third day after the news of the annihilation of the Zijun Interstellar Fleet reached the Beichen Empire, which was also the second day of the closed-door meeting of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Military, black nebula whirlpools appeared one after another in the star field above Shaofu Star.

The space fortress in the star field above Shaofu Star was the first to discover these strange black nebula vortexes.

Like a boil on the back of a toad, it appeared in the clear starry sky of Shaofu Star, looking both disgusting and dangerous.

"What is this? What happened?"

The observers in the space fortress became more alert.

But the next second, densely packed huge insects emerged from those whirlpools!

The observers on the space fortress immediately understood.

"Zerg! It's the Zerg! The Zerg are attacking!"

"Fire! Fire! Fire now!"

The space ion beam cannon, which had already fully charged, fired a shot at the nearest black nebula vortex.

The blazing white light flashed for a moment in the blackness of space, then fell upon a swirling black nebula.

boom!
The black nebula vortex that was swallowing up the Zerg suddenly collapsed into a ball of black smoke.

The Zerg that were still in the vortex and had not yet come out had naturally died.

has an effect!
However, looking at the black nebula vortexes densely covering the sky, there are hundreds and thousands of them, and they only have two space ion beam cannons, and after each launch, they need to charge for ten minutes...

The space ion beam cannon was originally used as a strategic weapon, which can often decide the outcome with a single shot. It is not to be used as machine gun bullets that can fire hundreds of thousands of bullets at you in minutes!

So this is why, although everyone knows that space ion beam cannons can cause devastating damage to the Zerg, they are not used on the battlefield.

There is no other reason, there are too many Zerg and the efficiency of the space ion beam cannon is too low.

Even without considering the energy used once, there would be no time to eliminate the densely packed Zerg.

Just like this time, they were able to use space ion beam cannons to destroy the black nebula vortexes that served as channels.

However, only two ion beam cannons can be fired every ten minutes.

And ten minutes are enough for more Zerg soldiers to emerge from the black nebula vortexes.

The defenders of the space fortress fired two shots in succession, and the silver-white energy beams mercilessly destroyed the two black nebula whirlpools.

But countless black nebula whirlpools continued to appear, and countless Zerg soldiers emerged from them.

They are different from what I have seen in videos before.

Now, none of them are wearing human mechas or armor, and none of them are holding human weapons.

All of them are the armor that the Zerg are born with, and they use the Zerg's own innate weapons.

The defenders of the space fortress never expected that these Zerg would arrive before they could even attack!

Sure enough, for the Zerg, any idea of ​​appeasement is unacceptable!

Of course, it’s too late to reflect on this now.

The Zerg are here, and they must be stopped here.

Even if we can't destroy them or make them retreat, it would be good to block them for a while.

As a result, countless pieces of the most critical secret military intelligence were sent to various military-related departments of the Beichen Empire.

The Fifth Interstellar Fleet stationed in the Shaofu Star Region, the military's Joint Chiefs of Staff, the cabinet's defense department, the Senate's high-level military affairs group, and the Empress's Military Affairs Office.

[Shaofu Star·Space Fortress]: Urgent! The Zerg have broken through the wormhole, and the Zerg army has descended on the Shaofu Star region. A war is imminent, requesting support!
There will be a second update at five minutes past twelve noon!
