Rong Tui Di came to the small conference room and saw that the Empress Tan Tai Zijun was already waiting there.
He hurriedly bowed to the Empress Tantai Zijun, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Empress Tantai Zijun, still with a sullen expression, said, "Does your military know about the battle situation at Marshal Xia Chujian's side?"
Rong Tui Di hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, we just received a secret letter from Marshal Xia Chujian, along with a video."
"I came to the palace to ask for an audience with Your Majesty to discuss the transportation of supplies to Marshal Xia Chujian's southern expeditionary force."
Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun raised an eyebrow: "...You received it too? Including the video? What kind of video?"
Rong Tuidi pulled out a virtual display screen and began playing the video that Xia Chujian sent to the highest military agency.
When Empress Tan Tai Zijun saw it, she found it was exactly the same as the video Xia Chujian sent to her attendant room!
She narrowed her eyes and said, "Isn't this video confidential?"
Rong Tui Di was stunned: "...Why is this video kept secret? The content above is all about the post-war situation..."
Why keep the victory secret?
Rong Tui Di didn't understand what the Empress Tan Tai Zijun was worried about.
Empress Tantai Zijun tightened her hands hidden in the sleeves of her wide dragon robe and said unhappily, "This is a secret letter from Marshal Xia Chujian!"
"The video is part of the secret letter!"
"How confidential is the secret letter? How could you, the Chief of Staff, not know?"
Rong Tuidi came to his senses and realized that he might have made some procedural errors.
He also knew about the hot searches caused by the video on Starnet, and he knew that the video was most likely released by someone in their secretariat.
Even though the Empress was unhappy, he wouldn't confront her. He quickly said, "It's because the people below didn't abide by the confidentiality rules. I'll punish them when I get back!"
Empress Tan Tai Zijun felt a little better when she thought that the news was not released by her.
At least it proves that the people around her are still on her side and care about her.
Empress Tantai Zijun's expression brightened slightly as she said, "Alright, your side is the highest level military organization, you can't be so lax."
Rong Tui Di once again expressed his approval and admitted his mistake before saying, "Your Majesty, after discussion in the military, we have decided to give Marshal Xia Chu a month to meet him."
"Within this month, she must eliminate the high-level Zerg."
"If we can't eliminate her... what kind of punishment would be appropriate for her?"
Rong Tuidi originally wanted to reduce Xia Chujian's military achievements.
However, this idea was not accepted among them, so he did not mention it and directly threw this hot potato to the Empress Tan Tai Zijun.
Empress Tantai Zijun's eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled and said, "...Punishment? That's not necessary...Marshal Xia Chujian defeated the Zerg. Even if he didn't have any merit, he still worked hard."
"As for the fact that we couldn't eliminate the high-level Zerg within a month, it's not her fault."
"After all, the existence of the advanced Zerg is not something that an ordinary person like her, who has not evolved genetically, can easily eliminate."
Rong Tui Di blinked, a little confused about the position of Empress Tan Tai Zijun.
It sounds like the Empress Tan Tai Zijun is on Xia Chujian's side and wants to make use of her?
Considering that Xia Chujian is also a woman, it seems normal for the empress to use a female marshal?
Rong Tui Di suddenly felt a sense of urgency and immediately said, "Your Majesty, with the military achievements of Xia Chujian, Marshal, he can be granted a title, or at least a marquisate."
"Should we give her the Marquisate immediately, or should we let her wait?"
Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun said with a smile: "There's no rush. Let's wait. She's still young anyway."
Rong Tui Di breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said, "Okay, Your Majesty, we will obey you."
Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun changed the subject and said lightly, "Marshal Xia Chujian's military exploits this time are truly remarkable. He is indeed the most accomplished military officer since the founding of the Beichen Empire."
"I think she can join the Joint Chiefs of Staff and serve as Chief of Staff. What do you think?"
Rong Tui Di's heart skipped a beat, and countless bad associations arose.
However, he didn't show it on his face, but asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, who do you mean... to let her take over?"
Empress Tantai Zijun played with a jade paperweight on the conference table and said with a half-smile, "Chief of Staff Rong, how old are you?"
Rong Tui Di suddenly raised his head and looked at the Empress Tan Tai Zijun in surprise and doubt.
Did she want Xia Chujian to take his place? !
The Empress Tan Tai Zijun still maintained that noble smile, revealing nothing of her thoughts, and said "hmm" lightly.
Rong Tuidi hurriedly lowered his head and said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, I am still young, only in my early fifties."
Empress Tantai Zijun sneered softly and said nothing more. She raised her hand and said, "Go down. I authorize you to be fully responsible for supplying Marshal Xia Chujian."
Rong Tui Di did not dare to look up, and hurriedly saluted and retreated.
After returning to the military headquarters, he ordered the logistics department to deliver ten days of supplies to Xia Chujian's southern expedition army, and at the same time ordered Xia Chujian to eliminate the advanced Zerg within a month!
Otherwise, it will delay the handling of military affairs.
This is a severe punishment.
If she fails to kill the high-level Zerg within a month, not only will all her military achievements be completely wiped out, but she will also have to bear military responsibility!
That would mean being sentenced in a military court...
When Xia Chujian saw this order, he was also speechless.
She actually didn't think that she couldn't catch the high-level Zerg, but she was very dissatisfied with the military's attitude.
