"We are already arranging garrisons on various asteroids and deploying air defense weapons."
"You don't have to use your own money to buy it. This is military supplies, and you are entitled to your fair share."
Xia Chujian raised an eyebrow and said, "Since Lieutenant Colonel Li said so, I'll wait and see."
"The remaining two thousand Zerg corpses still need to be exchanged for corresponding supplies."
"We have fifty Space Marines who died this time. They are said to be from very difficult families."
"The pensions the military provides are not enough to support their elders in their old age, nor are they enough to support their children until adulthood."
"So I want to sell these Zerg corpses and set up a fund."
"From now on, the families of all the Space Marines who sacrifice their lives in our Fifth Star Fleet will receive a certain amount of annual subsidies from our fund. This will last until their parents pass away and their children reach adulthood. The retirement care of their wives or husbands will all be provided for from this fund."
After hearing this, Lieutenant Colonel Li felt even more upset.
All of this should have been done by the military.
But for so many years, the military has not treated the Space Marines as human beings at all. Apart from giving them some compensation after their sacrifice, there is no other support...
This is probably the retribution for all these years of inaction!
Lieutenant Colonel Li took a deep breath and said, "I can report this to the captain."
"If the captain agrees, our Fifth Interstellar Fleet can purchase these Zerg corpses at market price and then establish a fund."
This is to take over the matter of establishing the fund from Xia Chujian.
Xia Chujian put his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "We exchanged our lives for the victory, and then exchanged it for money, and then gave face to your high-ranking officials of the Interstellar Fleet. Lieutenant Colonel Li, I take back what I said just now. You are even more excessive than the General Operations Department of the Military Headquarters."
"I won't distinguish between your Zerg corpses."
"If you want the Zerg corpse, buy it at the market price as you said."
"As for the market price, I don't know if there's a market for medium-sized Zerg corpses. If not, I'll set the market price."
Lieutenant Colonel Li's face also turned dark.
The representative from the military's general operations department was surprisingly in a much better mood.
He and the representative from the Special Security Bureau all watched Xia Chujian arguing with Lieutenant Colonel Li with a smile.
Lieutenant Colonel Li regretted that he had said the wrong thing and quickly said, "Xia Chujian, I'm not trying to take away your credit."
"What I mean is, let the professionals from our Fifth Interstellar Fleet help you run the fund. The fund will still be under your control, and you have absolute rights to allocate it."
"Selling off the corpses of medium-level Zergs won't happen overnight."
"You are a soldier, not a businessman. You don't have that much time to take care of these trivial matters."
"I promise you, I will deal with these Zerg corpses at the best price and I will ensure that you don't suffer any loss!"
After Lieutenant Colonel Li said this, Xia Chujian's expression brightened slightly and she said, "So that's how it is. I misunderstood Lieutenant Colonel Li."
She also had no intention of becoming enemies with Lieutenant Colonel Li.
She knew how rare it was to find a Starfleet executive who would show kindness to her.
But she couldn't let him control the pace of the matter, so she confronted him without hesitation.
Since Lieutenant Colonel Li had apologized, Xia Chujian stopped worrying and said, "That's it. I'll trust Lieutenant Colonel Li just once."
"Please don't betray my trust."
As soon as these words came out, Lieutenant Colonel Li almost stood at attention and saluted Xia Chujian, shouting, "I will guarantee to complete the task, please rest assured, leader!"
He finally suppressed the strange feeling of obedience in his heart and said seriously, "Captain Xia, don't worry, leave this matter to me. I'll give you my military order!"
After saying this, Lieutenant Colonel Li realized that he had said the wrong thing...
The issue of issuing a military order is something that only happens between subordinates and superiors. How can a superior issue a military order to a subordinate?!
He's really out of his mind!
Representatives from the Special Security Bureau and the General Operations Department of the Military Department stood aside, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with what Lieutenant Colonel Li said.
Shocked by Xia Chujian's aura, they all agreed that Colonel Li could only gain Xia Chujian's trust by issuing a military order!
The representative from the military's General Operations Department seemed to have found the secret to wealth and immediately said to Xia Chujian, "I can also issue a military order!"
"I just hope Captain Xia can give me some medium-sized Zerg corpses so I can report back..."
"Captain Xia, for the convenience you've given me this time, I will definitely repay you in the future!"
Xia Chujian was a little surprised. She glanced at him and said, "There's no need to talk about repaying. We all work for the military."
"Since you're so sincere, I'll give you 500 medium-sized Zerg corpses. If you have any questions from the military in the future, just send me a message."
