As a member of the lower house of the Senate, Zong Ruoan has a supervisory role over the cabinet and the military.
The other party must respond to his formal inquiries and cannot pretend to be blind.
Moreover, such acts of allowing the enemy to retreat must never be publicly acknowledged.
Therefore, the spokesman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the military quickly responded to Zong Ruoan's inquiries.
Joint Chiefs of Staff Spokesperson: Thank you, Councilor Zong Ruoan, for your inquiry. The military is already mobilizing troops and weapons, which will soon be delivered to the front lines on Shaofu Star. Councilor Zong, rest assured. Shaofu Star is your homeland and also part of our Beichen Empire. We will never abandon our citizens or our territory!
At this point, even if Rong Tuidi wanted to make things difficult for Xia Chujian, he would have to think twice and see if it was worth it.
Because the most likely outcome is that Xia Chujian is gone, and he collapses too...
This is a huge loss.
Therefore, with the tacit consent of Rongtuidi and the endorsement of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, they began to prepare for supplying the front line of Shaofu Star.
They even quickly recruited two million new soldiers from the other four major interstellar fleets and space fortresses to fill the vacancies in the Fifth Interstellar Fleet.
Among them, Xia Chujian’s former classmates Chen Yanjun and others also applied to go to the front line of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet and join Xia Chujian’s camp.
Xia Chujian was also very excited when she received the message sent to her by Chen Yanjun and others.
This way, she would have more manpower available.
At least she believed that these people would be absolutely loyal to her and would not trip her up.
Then, Qi Lu found the names of Sang Yadi and Chen Yansheng in the hands of the newly transferred people!
Xia Chujian was very surprised: "Sang Yadi and Chen Yansheng? Aren't they in the Fourth Interstellar Fleet?"
She still remembered that the last time, when Empress Tan Tai Zijun was still known as Qiu Zijun, she was also in the Fourth Interstellar Fleet.
It was Qiu Zijun who led the Fourth Interstellar Fleet to recapture half of the asteroids and satellites in the Shaofu Star Asteroid Belt, but that battle was extremely bloody.
The death rate was very high.
Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan, Xu Teng and Sun Jiahao, all of whom Xia Chujian was familiar with, died at that time.
Only Sang Yadi and Chen Yansheng came back alive.
Then the two of them received military merits, and both Sang Yadi and Chen Yansheng were promoted to major.
In the Starfleet, this is considered to have left the lower-level officer sequence and officially become a middle-to-upper-level officer sequence.
In their current Fifth Star Fleet, he is definitely a high-ranking official!
After all, a temporary commander like Xia Chujian only has the rank of lieutenant colonel.
Seeing these two familiar people coming under her command, Xia Chujian was truly moved.
She quickly called the roll and had them come to their captain's room.
This is the No. 007 Starry Sky Battleship that she just brought out from Zong’s Military Industry. In fact, it has the same configuration and size as the Starry Sky Mothership, but it was named after the Starry Sky Battleship, which is a deceptive name. After all, according to imperial law, Zong’s Military Industry is not allowed to manufacture Starry Sky Motherships.
This is the privilege of the Royal Heavy Industry.
But everyone who uses it knows that as long as it works, who cares about the false reputation?
So when Sang Yadi and Chen Yansheng came over, Chen Yansheng couldn't help but ask, "Captain, is this a star battleship?"
Xia Chujian smiled and said, "If I say it is, then it is. If it isn't, then it is also."
He also winked at Chen Yansheng.
Chen Yansheng couldn't help but laugh, but he quickly retracted his smile and saluted Xia Chujian, standing at attention. "Chen Yansheng, new recruit of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet, reporting in!"
Sangyadi also stood at attention and saluted: "New recruit Sangyadi of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet, reporting in!"
Xia Chujian nodded and said with emotion: "Got it, sit down."
Chen Yansheng and Sang Yadi sat down respectfully before Xia Chumian.
This was determined by Xia Chujian's military position.
In the army, although Xia Chujian doesn't want there to be hierarchy, there must be superiors and subordinates, otherwise how can he lead the troops to fight?
The military is not a place where freedom is valued.
What is needed here is iron discipline.
If you want freedom, don't join the army.
Xia Chujian didn't say anything polite, but only said to Chen Yansheng: "My condolences."
"Chen Rongnan is a captain our Fifth Interstellar Fleet will never forget. It was he who bought us precious time and ultimately secured victory."
If Chen Rongnan and his men had not used their three largest flagships to enter the black nebula vortex and self-destruct, they would not have been able to stop the attack for three minutes.
And those precious three minutes bought Xia Chujian enough time to arrive.
Without Xia Chujian, they could not win this battle.
But without Chen Rongnan, even if Xia Chujian had the ability to see through everything, it would be too late by the time he arrived.
She is not a god, she cannot turn back time or bring the dead back to life.
Therefore, she has deep respect for Chen Rongnan and his group.
Chen Yansheng's eyes were red, and he choked up and said, "My great uncle has always been a role model for us younger generations."
"Another name has been added to our family's wall of martyrs."
Xia Chujian said, "When you have the chance, kill a few more Zergs and avenge your uncle."
Chen Yansheng took a deep breath, looked up and said, "I am a soldier!"
"I am fighting the Zerg to protect this country and its people."
"It's not about the gains and losses of one family or another."
Xia Chujian said: "This is not a contradiction. Protecting the country is protecting the family. Protecting the family is also the way to protect the country."
She doesn't like some people playing word games and setting "home" and "country" in opposition to each other.
On a certain level, home and country are the same, like the front and back of a leaf.
Giving up either side will result in the other side ceasing to exist.
