In fact, Xia Chujian is not without background.

If she wanted to make trouble last time, whether it was Huo Yushen, Quan Yuxun, or even Zong Ruoning and Su Buyan, they would all be able to speak up for her.

But she endured it last time and didn't make a fuss.

Because she understood these "unspoken rules" and didn't expect to achieve everything in one go.

Just suppress the military merit for the first time, there will always be a time to settle the accounts.

This was the second time, and the military achievements she made were even more outstanding than the first time.

She wanted to see how these people above her would suppress her military achievements again this time!

Moreover, she even directly brought up the first time her military merits were suppressed, and demanded to make up for the military merits that were suppressed last time.

As soon as she made this request, the lower-level officers and soldiers who had previously stood up for her also stood up one by one to speak for her.

"That's right! Last time, we completely destroyed Captain Xia's military achievements!"

"They wiped out so many medium-sized Zergs, and in the end they only gave them a lieutenant!"

"One of our majors, who was born a viscount, was promoted from second lieutenant to major immediately after he simply delivered supplies to the front line!"

"Haha! If that's the case, those people up there won't be able to sleep! Are you going to help Captain Xia, or are you going to make things difficult for him?"

"That's right! You shouldn't hit someone in the face, but you've ripped his skin off directly. Isn't he going to vent his anger on Captain Xia?!"

"Hahahaha! Thankfully, these bastards can't steal our Space Marines' military achievements!"

"If Article 21 hadn't been abolished, our Xia Squadron would probably still be ordinary soldiers, but a certain officer from aristocratic family would have been promoted to the rank of general by now, right?!"

"Need I tell you?! This kind of military merit, even if only one tenth of it falls to a noble, would start at major! To be fair, it would be colonel! With a bit of luck, promotion to general is even possible!"

"Hahahaha! A Space Marine soldier wants to be promoted to general right away! This is hilarious... Hahahaha!"

"What are you laughing at? You're just sitting here chuckling over how your family has risen to prominence! Let me ask you this: if Captain Xia was born into a noble family, would you have achieved the rank you're talking about?"

When this person asked this question, everyone fell silent.

Everyone knows that if Xia Chujian really came from a noble family, this opportunity to be promoted like a rocket is really possible!

Then the middle and senior officers of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet also came out to congratulate.

They didn't come out immediately because they wanted to first confirm the authenticity of the videos and pictures of Xia Chujian.

We can't be like ordinary soldiers, where no matter what is said, good or bad, there will be no consequences.

They have to take certain responsibilities for what they say in public.

This was confirmed by intelligence analysts and mechanical intelligence from the Fifth Interstellar Fleet. Those battle videos and pictures were real, at least half of them were believed.

The group of middle and high-level military officers who had previously advocated a tough stance against the Zerg all appeared in the group and praised Xia Chujian highly.

Colonel Chen Rongnan: Captain Xia is truly amazing! We've already dispatched personnel to South Districts 67, 71, 81, 91, and 101 to verify the situation.

[Colonel Chen Rongnan]: If it is true, you are helping the empire to recapture the occupied star region, and your military merit will definitely be rewarded to the highest degree!

Chen Rongnan is the executive deputy captain of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet and the highest-ranking military officer on the pro-war side.

Even though the acting captain is half a level higher than him, the executive deputy captain, in terms of actual power, in terms of military rank, he and the acting captain Qiu Shenju are actually on the same level.

So Chen Rongnan's words still carry a lot of weight.

Chen Rongnan was also furious.

The last time Xia Chujian achieved military success, Qiu Shenju gathered a group of high-ranking military officers to reject his proposal.

He wanted to promote Xia Chujian directly to major.

In fact, in his opinion, the major was downplaying Xia Chujian's military achievements.

After all, the record of annihilating 4,000 medium-sized Zergs in one battle is one of the rare military achievements in the entire Beichen Empire.

If we really have to compare, perhaps only Qiu Zijun of the Fourth Interstellar Fleet can be compared, who was ordered to take over the then deputy operations captain in a critical moment and recaptured one-third of the occupied asteroids and planets.

Qiu Zijun's military rank was promoted directly from second lieutenant to major at that time.

Because the executive deputy captain who was in charge of combat was suddenly attacked by Zerg and was seriously injured and sent to the medical cabin.

This victory was achieved because Qiu Zijun led the combat team of the executive deputy captain, re-formulated the combat plan, took control of several Infinity-class space battleships, and led millions of troops of the Fourth Interstellar Fleet in a desperate battle with the Zerg.
