Interstellar boss, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 1796 Original Intention (Two-part long chapter combined, please vote with monthly tickets)
The Secretariat of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the military and the Imperial Study of Empress Tantai Zijun received secret messages and videos from Xia Chujian at almost the same time.

At this moment, everyone in the secretariat and the attendants' office was overjoyed.

Even some people in the secretariat couldn't control themselves and secretly posted a video on StarNet while waiting for the report to be submitted.

The title is: #We won! Grand Marshal Xia Chujian wiped out all the Zerg!#

This topic, along with that video, almost instantly jumped to the top of the trending searches!

The word "explosive" in the following context has led StarNet's social media to abandon individual displays and instead start a game of exponentially increasing the number of "explosive" posts.

Even ten, twenty, or even a hundred "hot" words cannot show the level of participation in this topic.

At this moment, even those who had previously criticized Xia Chujian, or even those who envied, were jealous of, or hated her, could no longer remember that they were on the opposite side of her.

They were all passionately forwarding the message on the StarNet, venting their fears and anxieties of the past three years, as well as their ecstatic joy at finally having their lives guaranteed.

Various verified influential figures also participated in this celebration.

Quan Yuxun, as the chief legal counsel of the Senate, was the first verified influential figure to share this topic and video.

It was precisely because of his massive fan base and influence that this topic suddenly jumped to the top of the trending searches!

Xia Chujian's verified account has been the subject of countless discussions.

This topic originally belonged to Xia Chujian!
Who would have thought that a girl who was only twenty-one years old would become the savior of everyone in the Northern Chen Empire!

Netizens left passionate comments under the topic of StarNet.

"Grand Marshal Xia Chujian! I am a refugee who fled from the Southern Cross. My entire family, except for me, was killed by the Zerg! On behalf of my family, I kowtow to you! I have set up a memorial tablet for you at home! From now on, I will offer you three sticks of incense morning and evening for the rest of my life!"

"I wish to see the Grand Marshal at the beginning of summer! My father and brothers died in that expedition to the Southern Cross! Thank you for avenging them! How I wish it had been you who led the troops that time!"

"Grand Marshal Xia Chujian! We are residents of Shaofu Star! Thank you for not only driving away the insectoids that attacked Shaofu Star, but also for securing a way to survive for us ordinary people!"

"Grand Marshal Xia Chujian! Your achievement is the first of its kind in the ten thousand years of the Northern Chen Empire! I will always support you!"

"Grand Marshal Xia Chujian! From now on, you're one of a kind with me! If I ever see anyone slandering you online again, I'll tear them apart offline!"

"Grand Marshal Xia Chujian! We are residents of Zangge Star! Thank you for leading the brave men of our Beichen Empire to annihilate the Zerg!"

……

Some people questioned, "...The Zerg are so ferocious, how come Xia Chujian can always defeat them? Is it fake...?"

These words immediately drew a barrage of criticism from netizens.

"Upstairs, I feel the difference between you and me is greater than the difference between a human and a paramecium! It's not your fault you're brainless, but if you try to show off, don't blame me for slapping you!"

"Upstairs, if you want to smoke him, you have to wait in line! Move aside! I'm older, I'll go first!"

"Upstairs, you can't have special privileges just because you're older! I'm young and underage, so hitting someone isn't illegal. Let me beat him half to death first!"

"Upstairs, what are you guys doing?! Or should I just stab him and send him to reunite with the Zerg?!"

"Upstairs, murder is illegal! Let's just send him to settle in the Zerg territory! He claims it's all a lie anyway!"

……

In an instant, this person who wanted to show that "everyone is drunk but I am sober" was exposed without any trace, and was even beaten up by his own family members first.

Then he posted a photo of himself with a bruised and swollen face, unrecognizable, online to apologize to everyone.

In addition, some people have raised rational questions.

For example, why were the Zerg so difficult to defeat before, but are they being dealt with so quickly now?
Not many people can answer this question.

Because it's too technical and too sensitive.

Later, Su Buyan saw it and quietly left a message using an alternate account, saying: "This problem is simple in some ways, but also very complicated in others."

"Simply put, the Zerg have been invading the entire Beichen star system for three years."

"The previous fall of the Southern Cross Principality, the Eastern Heavenly Plains Divine Kingdom, and the Western Manelli Federation was not due to their weak military strength, but rather to the presence of too many traitors who directly opened their borders, allowing the Zerg to launch a successful sneak attack."

"If we fight the Zerg head-on, regardless of the cost, humanity will not lose."

"What I fear most is that some brain-dead humans believe the Zerg are so powerful that they are invincible, so they simply give up resisting and collude with the enemy, thinking that this will protect them!"

"These incredibly foolish people not only harm themselves, but also all innocent people!"

"The reason our country was able to hold out for three years and launch a direct counter-offensive is that we immediately shut down all the backdoors that traitors had opened for the Zerg!"

"Yes, don't think that our Northern Chen Empire is without traitors!"

“I tell you, not only are there, but there are many, some even holding high positions!”

"These are the people who left behind wormholes that allowed the Zerg army to launch surprise attacks!"

"We were just lucky!"

"We have Marshal Huo Yushen! We have Marshal Xia Chujian!"

"These are things I didn't dare to say before, but now I can!"

"The ones who made the decisive move to detect the wormholes opened by the traitor and destroy all of them, preventing the Zerg from launching a sneak attack, were Marshal Huo Yushen and Marshal Xia Chujian!"

"At that time, Marshal Huo Yushen was still the Chief Inspector of the Special Security Bureau!"

"Marshal Xia Chujian is his most reliable ally!"

"Later, the Zerg also gradually upgraded their tactics in order to attack our Northern Chen Empire!"

"They've finally found a way to travel here without using wormholes!"

"They used that method to break through Shaofu Star's defenses and launch a surprise attack!"

"And recently, they not only broke through Guiyuan Star's space defenses, but also broke through the atmosphere and got close to Guiyuan Star!"

"It's fair to say that the Zerg were unlucky in both of these sneak attacks. They ran into Marshal Xia Chujian!"

"Xia Chujian, the Marshal, is the nemesis of the Zerg!"

"Marshal Xia Chujian wiped out all the Zerg that others couldn't defeat!"

"Now you understand why only Marshal Xia Chujian's army could defeat the Zerg, right?!"

"Furthermore, our weapons development has not stagnated over the past three years!"

"The Empire's weapons experts have developed several adapted weapons based on the characteristics of the Zerg."

"The current battle situation only confirms my suspicions."

"In short, as long as we are united, there is absolutely no way we can lose to the Zerg!"

"Therefore, our greatest enemy in the face of the Zerg is not the Zerg themselves, but the traitors and spies within our own ranks!"

……

Su Buyan's post contained so much information that many people were caught off guard and didn't immediately grasp it.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that they continued to post and enthusiastically upvote, once again expressing their overwhelmingly positive impression of Xia Chujian and Huo Yushen!
Some even bluntly said, "Since the beginning of summer, I've had Marshal Xia with me, and from then on, I've had a get-out-of-jail-free card!"

"Even if she rebels, I will support her!"

This comment quickly became a hot topic. A group of people were wildly speculating about what their empire would be like if Xia Chujian were an empress!
After all, the Tantai royal family has a long history of incompetent behavior...

……

Within just a few hours, news of Xia Chujian's great victory in the southern expeditionary army had spread to an uncontrollable point.

At this moment, the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the military and Empress Tantai Zijun learned what had happened.

The five members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff were all pleased to hear the news of Xia Chujian's great victory.

They even dismissed the news that a higher Zerg was still at large.

In their view, although this advanced insectoid was dangerous, with Huo Yushen and Xia Chujian holding the line, they had nothing to worry about.

More importantly, as military personnel, they have always known that in large-scale troop operations, quantity is far more important than quality.

For example, ten million ordinary Zerg are considered a greater threat than a single advanced Zerg by these individuals.

Xia Chujian's battle directly killed hundreds of millions of Zerg!
Therefore, for them, this war against the Zerg has already been a great victory!

Wei Ze, the chief of staff of the operations department, even said, "Xia Chujian already has the rank of marshal. After this battle, he should be able to get a noble title, right?"

Chief of the General Staff, Rong Tuidi, was somewhat dismissive, saying, "A title is just a pie in the sky. According to imperial law, titles are fixed."

"With no title vacancy, she can only wait."

The other chiefs of staff exchanged glances and changed the subject, saying, "Marshal Xia still needs supplies. Let's discuss how much is appropriate for her."

Rong Tuidi frowned: "Didn't she win? Why isn't she coming back? What does she need supplies for?"

Chief of the General Staff of the Operations Department, Wei Ze, hurriedly said, "That advanced insectoid was not eliminated, so it's understandable that Marshal Xia doesn't want to come back."

"If we're not careful and that advanced insectoid creature manages to get to our side, no matter how many people we have, it won't be enough to kill us..."

"Including us."

"Even a 3S-level gene evolver is no match for it."

Rong Tuidi understood what he was saying.

At that time, it was true that even with so many 3S-level gene-evolved bodyguards around him, it was all ineffective.

He nodded: "That's right, then give her more supplies and set a deadline for her to kill that advanced Zerg."

"We can't just use this as an excuse to stay on the Southern Cross and never come back."

This is because they are worried that Xia Chujian will become too powerful and harbor bandits.

The other chiefs of staff understood.

They didn't know Xia Chujian very well, so they weren't sure whether, at this point, she would really hold military power, or raise bandits to maintain her own power, or both.

Human nature is inherently constantly changing.

Therefore, it is very difficult and very rare for people to stay true to their original aspirations.

Therefore, when Rong Tuidi proposed giving Xia Chujian a deadline to eliminate that advanced insectoid, they did not object but acquiesced.

Seeing that everyone agreed with his opinion, Rong Tuidi nodded in satisfaction and said, "Have the confidential secretary draft it, and give her a month."

"Supplies will be delivered for a month."

"If she can't eliminate a single advanced Zerg within a month, her military merits... will be halved!"

Chief of Staff Wei Ze of the Operations Department coughed and said, "Then I'll trouble Chief of Staff Xuan to prepare the supplies."

"As for Xia Chujian's military achievements, that's not something we can... control."

Rong Tuidi glanced at the others and realized that no one was looking at him.

They all looked very busy, or were carefully examining the electronic writing tablets in their hands, seemingly very interested.

Or they might be intently drinking water, as if it were some rare delicacy that they must savor.

Others were rubbing their eyes, as if they had sand in them and had to rub them...

Rong Tuidi's lips twitched, and he stood up, saying, "Meeting adjourned!"

"I'm going to see His Majesty."

……

The Imperial Study of the Northern Chen Empire.

Empress Tantai Zijun sat behind her desk, her face ashen.

Before me are holographic screens.

The scrolling list above shows today's trending topics on StarNet.

There was also a video reported by Xia Chujian.

The video trending on social media is incomplete; it's only one minute long.

The video of Empress Tantai Zijun here is complete and lasts for thirty minutes.

It was only then that the ladies-in-waiting and attendants in the attendant's quarters explained the matter to her.

She never expected that this matter had already been spread to the StarNet before she even knew about it!

Seeing the highly praised and shared topics and posts from netizens, and witnessing Xia Chujian's overwhelming momentum, she was heartbroken and in a terrible mood.

The attendants and ladies-in-waiting beside her were all very happy, their smiles practically impossible to suppress!
But gradually, they sensed the atmosphere in the imperial study growing increasingly tense, and the smiles on their faces began to fade.

Until Empress Tantai Zijun coldly said, "...This is a military secret, how did it get leaked online?"

"Check it for me!"

The ladies-in-waiting and attendants in the palace all knelt down with a thud, trembling as they said, "Your Majesty! We dare not!"

"We swear! It was definitely not us who spread it!"

Empress Tantai Zijun coldly snorted, "...This is classified military information, only given to you. You didn't spread it, so why would I?!"

Upon hearing this, the female officials and attendants began to kowtow frantically, crying out, "Your Majesty! It really wasn't us!"

"Your Majesty, please understand! It really wasn't us!"

"I'm innocent, Your Majesty!"

Empress Tantai Zijun felt a headache coming on. She waved her hand and said, "You all need to find out the truth for me!"

"If we can't find anything, then it was you who did it!"

She had just finished venting her anger when she heard someone outside announce that Rong Tuidi, the Chief of the General Staff of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was requesting an audience with His Majesty.

Empress Tantai Zijun was just about to look for him when she immediately said, "Tell him to go to the conference room. I have something to ask him!"

　There will be a new update at 12:05 AM.
