Meng Guanghui fell into excited memories. That battle was extremely brutal because of the betrayal of a traitor.
In the end, only three people, Huo Yushen, Meng Guanghui and Kang Shanxing, and a flagship that was almost pierced were left in their entire fleet.
But even if there were only three of them left, they had destroyed almost all of the Southern Cross Principality's interstellar fleet combat capabilities!
Xia Chujian's blood boiled when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Then the Southern Cross Principality's fleet was completely annihilated again?"
"Of course! In this battle, we destroyed five of the Southern Cross Principality's interstellar fleets, and only one fleet fled back to the Southern Cross Principality's starfield in a panic!"
Xia Chujian said excitedly: "Then why don't you chase them and destroy the Southern Cross Principality directly?!"
All the people in the Beichen Empire know that the Principality of the Southern Cross often invades the star field of their Beichen Empire.
The former Beichen Empire was able to use the name of the entire Beichen galaxy as its country name, which of course included more than five planets. However, over the years, it was gradually eroded by the Southern Cross Principality in the same galaxy.
Meng Guanghui choked and thought, this girl actually had the same idea as Huo Shuai at that time.
Although their Fifth Interstellar Fleet was destroyed, they still have four major interstellar fleets, while the other side only has one interstellar fleet. If they go directly to the Principality of the Southern Cross, they can indeed eliminate this cancer!
He suppressed his excitement and sighed, "...Do you think Marshal Huo didn't want to? But at the critical moment, His Majesty the Emperor was suddenly assassinated by the Southern Cross Principality's assassins, leaving him seriously injured in bed. The cabinet and the military both opposed restarting the war and accused Marshal Huo of disregarding the lives of his soldiers for victory. A fleet of more than 5,000 people was reduced to only three people. They wanted to send him to court-martial..."
Xia Chujian was also shocked: "No way?! The cabinet and the military have been infiltrated?! Isn't this just emboldening the enemy and destroying our own prestige?!"
"That's right! It's to boost the enemy's morale and destroy our own prestige! At that time, Shanxing and I were both going crazy. We grabbed guns and were ready to fight those bastards in the cabinet and the military!"
"It was Marshal Huo who stopped us and told us not to rush. He also said that if we wanted to go to court-martial, we should go to court-martial because obeying orders is a soldier's duty!"
Meng Guanghui's eyes turned red again as he spoke, as if he was back to the frustrating days a few years ago.
Xia Chujian's mouth twitched, and he whispered, "...Did Marshal Huo really say that? Soldiers can only obey orders? Even if they are random orders?"
These words made Meng Guanghui's emotions incoherent.
He glared at her and said, "You're just a lowly soldier. Even if you were ordered to do something wrong, you wouldn't be able to reach your level! So just obey orders! - Moreover, Marshal Huo's insistence is right, because His Majesty the Emperor trusts him. Although he was seriously injured and bedridden, he still issued an edict, ignoring the opposition of the cabinet and the military, and promoted Marshal Huo to the rank of general!"
"That year, Coach Huo was only 24 years old! A 24-year-old general!" Meng Guanghui admired Huo Yushen from the bottom of his heart at this time.
Xia Chujian lowered his head and said as he sorted the things in his tactical backpack, "He's really impressive. A 24-year-old general is one of the best in the entire history of the Beichen Empire!"
Meng Guanghui said: "There is only him, no one else."
Xia Chujian was fascinated: "...If there is one, there will be two. Who knows?"
Meng Guanghui: "What good things are you thinking about?"
Xia Chujian changed the subject: "What happened next?"
"later?"
"Yes, he was just promoted to general. But Marshal Huo is now a marshal. From general to marshal, the gap is huge, right?"
She knew that there were many generals in the Beichen Empire, but only five marshals.
Meng Guanghui, however, was less enthusiastic at this moment. He casually said, "Oh, Marshal, that's from the year before last. When Marshal Huo was 27 years old, he once again mobilized the rebuilt Fifth Interstellar Fleet and penetrated the military stronghold of the Southern Cross Principality. Not only did he destroy all of their remaining interstellar fleets, he also killed the Grand Duke of the Southern Cross Principality!"
Xia Chujian was dumbfounded: "The Grand Duke of the Southern Cross Principality?! Isn't that the supreme head of their country?!"
"Yes! Hehe, in the same position as our Emperor. But, our Marshal Huo shot him to ashes and turned him into ions with a single ion beam cannon! Hahahahaha!" Meng Guanghui slapped his thigh with joy, "Destroy the country! Destroy the country!"
Xia Chujian looked at him as if he were a fool and said, "Chief, wake up. The Principality of the Southern Cross has not been destroyed. They are still doing well..."
Xia Chujian knew nothing about that battle. There was no mention of it on Star Network’s social media or gossip news.
Having said this, Meng Guanghui became depressed again.
He put on his tactical backpack, stood up and walked out, saying woodenly, "It's possible to destroy the country... but the cabinet ordered General Huo to immediately withdraw from the capital of the Southern Cross Principality and send envoys to negotiate with the Grand Duke's heir. Then, they withdrew their troops from the Southern Cross Principality's star region. The Grand Duke's heir was crowned the new Grand Duke and signed a non-aggression pact with our country..."
Xia Chujian: “…”
She silently put on her tactical backpack and walked beside Meng Guanghui.
Meng Guanghui calmed down and concluded briefly, saying, "Then Marshal Huo returned home with his fleet. His Majesty the Emperor officially promoted him to the rank of Marshal, making him one of the five marshals of the military. The military agreed to his promotion on the condition that he be transferred from the frontline combat units."
Xia Chujian pondered, "...So, Huo Shuai's promotion is just a way to take advantage of the Southern Cross Principality... There are many other countries in our Beichen Star Region, right?"
