Chapter 114
"I'll go up for a while, and then I can sit with you." Song Yizhu held her hand tightly on his thigh before going back to the stage.
"The three candidates have been introduced. In the coming days, they will be assigned to various political and diplomatic functions and to handle state affairs. Please conduct a comprehensive review and comparison of all aspects, including politics, the economy, and national development, and select a suitable successor."
"The announcement of the list of successor candidates has been completed. Next, the Political Affairs Group will answer questions about the military and the Sixth Princess. Please wait." After saying this, Song Yizhu stepped down from the stage. The dozens of marshals standing on both sides also returned to their seats and sat in the empty first row.
"Do you want to go out and play later?" Sitting back next to Xu Zhiyan, Song Yizhu automatically moved closer to her, their heads very close to each other.
"You're discussing this with me now?" Xu Zhiyan tilted his head to look at her, his eyes a little confused.
"What's wrong? Is it not allowed?" Song Yizhu asked her righteously. Now the occasion where she should appear has ended. What's wrong with whispering to his wife?
Xu Zhiyan blinked and wanted to answer her, but the person on the stage had already spoken and the conversation had to be interrupted.
"Good morning, everyone. I am Shao Yu, the chairman of the Political Affairs Group. I will explain the selection of the Grand Marshal of the Military and the candidates for the Sixth Princess."
"The former Grand Marshal Zhao Mingxiu was dismissed in January of the Star Calendar year 1725, four years ago, by a joint decision of the Military and Political Affairs Groups. The reasons for his dismissal are as follows:
In September of the Star Calendar 1724, due to the wrong command of Marshal Zhao, the soldiers of three mecha battalions and two battleship battalions were captured by the aliens, and Marshal Zhao's mecha was also besieged by the aliens.
Under this circumstance, Marshal Song, who was then the Marshal of the Mecha Army, led a mecha team to cooperate with the battleship army to encircle and suppress the alien race.
Despite the disparity in strength between the enemy and us, Marshal Song still managed to rescue two-thirds of the soldiers.
However, due to Marshal Zhao's extreme behavior, his mecha was dismembered, and Marshal Song's mecha was also hunted by the aliens, resulting in her brain damage and loss of her sense of smell.
"The Military Corps should have filed a military lawsuit against Marshal Zhao, but considering his hard work and the severity of his injuries, they only dismissed him from his position."
"Grand Marshal Song ascended the throne through the election of twenty-nine marshals and the military corps. A faction, led by Marshal Bai Changlin, believed that Marshal Song's sense of smell was lost and that the information of her ascension should not be announced. As a result, everyone was unaware of her ascension."
"Two years ago, Zhao Mingxiu colluded with the aliens and, in conjunction with Bai Changlin of the Military Capsule Group, stole the military's mecha data, providing the aliens with blueprints for a new, fully controllable mecha. Furthermore, in July of this year, he colluded with the Sixth Princess and attempted to invade our star system in October. Extensive evidence indicates that the three individuals have defected from the star system. The traitors have been brought before a military court awaiting sentencing."
As Shao Yu was speaking, the two battles were holographically projected on the podium. This meeting, which was broadcast to the national terminal, also explained the whole story to everyone.
Xu Zhiyan didn't talk to him, so Song Yizhu had no choice but to hold her hand obediently.
Her eyes were fixed on the projection, with no expression on her face. Song Yizhu couldn't guess what she was thinking, so he could only look at the projection from time to time and steal a peek at her expression.
As she turned her head more and more, netizens who were closely watching the meeting were also attracted by her movements.
[Oh my god, why do I think I see something on the Marshal's jaw? Am I seeing things?]
You read that right, I saw it too.
[Birthmark, what else could it be besides this]
[No...why don't you guys zoom in and take a look?]
[Nah, this spot, this color, it's not a pure hickey!!]
[What are you doing? Why are you showing off your affection? ]
[The person sitting in the first row isn't the fiancée of a certain imperial heir, but the partner of the new Marshal?!]
[These two wives are really enough, why are they so disgusting?! ]
After finally finishing watching the two battles, Xu Zhiyan turned his gaze back to her, and his fixed gaze made her a little puzzled.
"What, what's wrong?" Song Yizhu felt uneasy when she stared at him, and asked tentatively.
"Does it hurt..." The mecha was hit hard, and the internal parts hit Song Yizhu's head hard. The shocking red blood was deeply engraved in her mind at a glance, gripping her heart and making her voice tremble.
"My consciousness was very blurred at that time." Song Yizhu shook her head. It was painful, after all, the brain couldn't inject strong painkillers, so she could only endure it. But she definitely couldn't tell Xu Zhiyan about this and let her know how painful it was.
Hearing her say this, Xu Zhiyan's heartache did not ease at all, but became even more severe, and her eyes turned red.
"It's okay, it's all over. I'm fine now, and my sense of smell has returned." Song Yizhu gently stroked the back of her hand with his thumb to comfort her, with an unstoppable warmth in his heart.
It feels really good to have someone care about you.
Xu Zhiyan really wants to go home and hug her now.
"When will this meeting end?"
"It should be soon. What's wrong? Are you tired?" The topic changed a little quickly, but Song Yizhu didn't care. She now hoped that Xu Zhiyan would forget about this matter. She didn't want Xu Zhiyan to be sad, even if it was because she felt sorry for herself.
"No, I want to go home." Xu Zhiyan shook his head, suppressed his thoughts, and held her hand tightly.
[Help! It hurts just looking at me! If I were hit like that, I would have cried out in pain.]
[How could she hold back her anger when the information about the succession was concealed just because of a loss of smell?]
[The military advisory group is outrageous. They only judge Zhao Mingxiu based on his merits and ignore his faults, and they treat Marshal Song with all their might. What kind of people are these military advisors?]
[You're a brain trust, you're almost a complete retard]
[When will the Jun Nang group be purged? Why are all these unfair treatments being brought up?]
[That’s right, when will the military gang be eliminated? Just looking at them makes me so angry.]
This kind of behavior is really disgusting. It was clearly a military achievement, but it was concealed because of Zhao Mingxiu's fault.
After the story was told, netizens were all filled with indignation. The military's actions were really disheartening and disgusting.
