Even the reputation of Empress Tan Tai Zijun was taken aback by Xia Chujian's popularity among the people.
At this time, Zong Ruoan, on behalf of the Senate members of the Beichen Empire, also initiated an inquiry to the Joint Conference of the Military Chiefs of Staff, asking them when they would award Lieutenant Colonel Xia Chujian a new military rank based on his military merits.
Also, Lieutenant Colonel Xia is currently the interim supreme commander. When she is officially promoted to commander-in-chief of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet, she will be the official supreme commander on the battlefield.
It is also said that if the name is not right, the words will not flow. During war, if even the commander cannot command the battle with the right words, how can we expect to win victory after victory?!
Then, even the chief commander of the cabinet, Quan Juntai, publicly questioned the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the military on Starnet.
He actually completely agreed with the opinion from the Senate, that is, to request that Xia Chujian be awarded the title of marshal and officially appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet, that is, the captain of the fleet.
Even Chen Rongnan, who died before, was only the acting captain.
Because the official captain, Rong Shengwei, was completely annihilated by the Zerg during the battle to the Southern Cross...
This has become an indelible stain on the Fifth Interstellar Fleet.
But as long as Xia Chujian can be appointed as the official commander, commander-in-chief and captain, the Fifth Interstellar Fleet will still be the heroic fleet that saved seven billion people.
At the same time, because the evacuation order issued by the military was obviously only to protect the upper class and the nobles and abandon the ordinary people at the bottom, it was also repeatedly criticized by netizens, and their reputation almost fell to the lowest point.
The Beichen Empire was an imperial state, but because of the establishment of constitutional monarchy, public opinion became an important part of national politics.
However, it is not a link that truly has power, but a link that is used as a pawn in the upper-level game.
Never have the illusion that an imperial state will put ordinary people first.
That's not true.
Even if the empire's upper class nobles and royal family members occasionally thought about the interests of the lower classes, it was to maintain their own rule and privileges.
Otherwise, if the lower-level people are all messed up, their superstructure will naturally become shaky or even cease to exist.
The upper class nobles and royal family members who fail to think of this are all fools who are digging their own graves.
The upper nobility and royal family members who want to achieve this will give public opinion a channel to vent and be valued.
And now, facing the Zerg invasion, a critical moment for the survival of all mankind, those upper-class nobles and royal family members with clearer minds also realized that this point is particularly important.
So they also stood on the side of the Senate and the cabinet, putting pressure on the military.
On the military side, only a small number of people in the Joint Chiefs of Staff were holding on tightly and refusing to give in.
This small group of people was of course headed by Chief of Staff Rong Tuidi. Although they were few in number, they had great power, so they fought the majority on equal terms.
At this time, they were sitting in the meeting room of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the atmosphere was very depressing and solemn.
Rong Tui Di had a stern face as if he had lost his parents, and his aura was extremely terrifying.
However, the Chief of Staff of the Logistics Department Xuan Fangwu, the Chief of Staff of the Equipment Department Shao Jiajia and the Chief of Staff of the Information Department Zhan Xixin all insisted on opposing him.
Shao Kaijia said, "Chief of Staff Rong, we can't delay any longer."
"Although we've repelled the Zerg's two attacks, no one knows when the Zerg will launch a third attack."
"Besides, everyone has seen the video of this Zerg attack."
"It's obvious that the Zerg have achieved tremendous evolution in the two years since they invaded the entire Beichen Galaxy."
"If we delay any longer, maybe even Lieutenant Colonel Xia won't be able to deal with them!"
"When the time comes, are we all going to wait for death together?!"
"If everyone is dead, what's the point of keeping the rank of marshal and the position of commander-in-chief?!"
Xuan Fangwei nodded and agreed, "Yes, so we believe that we should immediately promote Lieutenant Colonel Xia and grant him a rank and position. Compensation for the fallen soldiers should also be put on the agenda immediately."
Zhan Xixin simply said: "Vote, the minority shall obey the majority."
Rong Tui Di, however, seemed to have someone to rely on. He glared at him and said sinisterly, "In our military's Joint Chiefs of Staff meetings, the minority has never obeyed the majority!"
"Where do you place the positions of the five chiefs of general staff?!"
Zhan Xixin lowered his head and sighed in his heart.
Yes, when their military's Joint Chiefs of Staff vote, it is not the majority that matters.
On some issues, the five chiefs of staff of the Joint Chiefs of Staff have a veto power.
