As soon as Huo Yushen left the palace, he displayed the terrifying strength of a Ming-level genetic evolver. Almost in the blink of an eye, as if teleporting, he returned to his office at the Special Security Bureau headquarters.
After Huo Yushen left, Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan also thought clearly about what he wanted to do.
Soon, his order was naturally conveyed by the eunuchs.
So, just as Huo Yushen sat down in his office at the Special Security Bureau headquarters, the Fifth Interstellar Fleet received an order to switch guard with the Fourth Interstellar Fleet.
The Fourth Interstellar Fleet is stationed at the forefront of the entire Beichen Empire's battle against the Zerg!
Although it has not officially ended yet, it is already visible from afar.
Everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before they go into battle.
The Fifth Interstellar Fleet was reorganized after its entire structure was almost wiped out.
It was also rebuilt after Huo Yushen left the Fifth Interstellar Fleet.
The biggest feature of this interstellar fleet now is that it has a large number of noble and senior officers.
This is also a kind of compensation for them.
The battle between Huo Yushen and the Principality of the Southern Cross was extremely brutal.
However, he brought back five thousand living Space Marines, and the rest of the noble officers, from top to bottom, were killed.
It was also because of this that he was targeted by the entire aristocracy at that time.
Even if the emperor wanted to protect him, he was still unable to compete with the entire aristocracy, so he had to transfer him from the front line to the Special Security Bureau as Chief Inspector.
The reorganized Fifth Interstellar Fleet was then controlled by the nobles. If an officer wanted to be promoted to the rank of colonel or above, in addition to military merit, he must also be a noble.
As a result, all officers of the current Fifth Interstellar Fleet at the colonel level and above are of aristocratic origin.
Less than one percent of lieutenant-level officers are genetically evolved from civilian origins.
The rest of the lieutenant-level officers were also of aristocratic origin.
Ordinary civilians who are not genetically evolved are destined to be space marines in the Fifth Interstellar Fleet, no matter how outstanding their military achievements are.
Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan's plan for sending Xia Chujian to this interstellar fleet was almost known to everyone.
The abacus beads were about to break into people's faces.
But the officers of the Fifth Star Fleet were unhappy.
Why would the Emperor punish Xia Chujian by sending the entire fleet to the front lines of Shaofu Star to suffer?!
Of course, they only dared to complain in their hearts.
At this moment, they dare not say it out loud.
Within just five minutes, leave requests from officers of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet popped up like mushrooms after rain, and soon one-third of the officers had applied for leave.
Even the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet, Rong Shengwei, asked for a leave of absence from the Emperor. It was said that an elderly person in his family had passed away and he had to go back to attend the funeral. He temporarily recommended his deputy, Qiu Shenju from the Qiu family, to take charge of the entire fleet on his behalf.
Rong Shengwei was born into the main branch of the Earl Rong family and was a cousin of Empress Li Fengen.
When he left, Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan did not stop him at all, but was even happy to see it happen.
But other officers were not so lucky.
Basically, all the noble officers who had few connections and no strong background had to be transferred to the front line of Shaofu Star even without their leave applications approved.
Therefore, when the entire fleet was preparing for the rotation, the atmosphere was very depressing, and the officers even complained openly.
At first, they only complained in their own group.
Of course, he didn't dare to complain about the emperor's decision, and could only scold Xia Chujian for "harming others and himself."
Then one time, an officer mistakenly sent a chat message to a large group, so the entire fleet, including the space marines, knew that it was because of Xia Chujian that they moved from the safest Beichen Star to the most dangerous Shaofu Star.
The Star Marines are all of civilian origin and are ordinary people.
They were different from those officers, but when the time came, it was impossible for them not to have any thoughts in their minds.
But no matter how much they think, they will not and cannot do the same as those officers and avoid a rotation by simply asking for leave.
Xia Chujian knew nothing about this.
She was just about to spend the night in the prison at the Special Security Bureau headquarters when she saw Meng Guanghui rushing over and saying, "Chu Jian, come out and follow me to see Huo Shuai."
"By the way, don't worry, you've been acquitted."
Xia Chujian raised an eyebrow: "...Ah? Did...the emperor let me go?"
Meng Guanghui nodded: "I don't know the details, but Huo Shuai just came back from the palace, and he should have something to tell you."
Xia Chujian curled her lips and said, "I knew it wouldn't be that easy... There must be something 'I can escape the death penalty, but I can't escape the punishment alive' waiting for me!"
