Quan Yuxun said with emotion: "As private transactions increased, people gradually began to integrate this system."
"So gradually, within the Beichen Empire's interstellar fleet, there was an unwritten rule and a private exchange system."
"In other words, according to the scale of the Space Marines' meritorious service, they can be exchanged for some benefits that the Space Marines can enjoy."
"Then, those who desire these military merits can use this redemption system to provide material compensation to the meritorious Space Marines. This way, they can 'reasonably' claim these merits to themselves and get themselves a promotion."
Xia Chujian instantly thought of what Sang Yadi had told her, that their military achievements on Senze Star were exchanged for material conditions.
Although they are not space marines, they are just ordinary civilians, and their achievements are so great that they make people jealous...
Even though the laws of the Beichen Empire prohibit the exchange of military merits between regular soldiers and officers, some people still take the risk.
However, the conditions offered by the other party were very generous. In addition to the real house and money, there was also citizenship for the whole family.
This was something that Sangyadi and her family members could not resist, and they urged them to accept it.
Sang Yadi didn't explain it clearly at the time, so Xia Chujian thought it was just an accidental behavior.
Now I know that this is not a coincidence, but a regular behavior that has formed a system.
There is actually a term circulating privately called "Military Merit Exchange System".
Xia Chujian couldn't help but ask, "Do the people above know about this?"
Quan Yuxun smiled and said, "What do you think? With such a large-scale, systematic exchange, do you think the people above wouldn't be unaware of it?"
Xia Chujian was silent for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "I see. It all comes down to 'officials protecting each other.'"
Nobles helping nobles.
Because those who can offer generous material conditions in exchange for military merits can only be nobles.
It is difficult for ordinary people, even wealthy ones, to get so involved in the military.
Moreover, if an ordinary person dares to do this, the noble officers above will not ignore it.
Quan Yuxun said: "This is true. We all know that this is not good, but for the Space Marines, it is indeed a good compensation."
"Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people who, knowing that there's no future for Space Marines in the army, would still flock to join the army to become Space Marines."
Xia Chujian said, "I understand. For ordinary people, this is also a way to exchange their lives for money."
“The price-performance ratio should be quite good.”
Xia Chujian knew how much an ordinary person could earn in a year when he was in Mulan City on Guiyuan Star.
Employees in formal companies on Guiyuan Star earn 500 Beichen coins per month, which is considered an upper-middle-level salary and can allow them to live a decent life in Mulan City.
Of course, this salary is only on Guiyuan Star.
On other planets, everyone's average salary would be a little higher.
But no matter how high it is, it is still not as high as hundreds of thousands of Beichen coins a month or millions of Beichen coins a year.
That kind of income can only be had by at least upper-middle-level business owners, businessmen, or corporate executives, senior university professors, high-level scientists in the Academy of Sciences, and officers at the colonel level and above in the military.
The nobles, even the most ordinary barons, were on another level.
With the income from their fiefdom, they could easily make tens of millions every year.
Moreover, the higher the title, the higher the income, which may even increase exponentially.
The vast majority of nobles have been passed down for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
Their old money is not just any old money, it is old money that is covered with pulp.
This is something that ordinary working-class people like them can never compare to.
Of course, Xia Chujian could understand, but she did not agree.
Quan Yuxun said, "It's good that you understand. Military merits of your magnitude would be awarded to any captain at least three times as special merits, and the rank could be promoted directly from captain to colonel."
"If you are already a colonel-level officer, then there is no problem in directly promoting you to the rank of general."
"If a general officer could achieve military merits like yours, the five marshals would become six marshals..."
Xia Chujian frowned: "No way? Do you think the military achievement I made this time is really that great?"
Quan Yuxun said affirmatively, "It seems you don't understand the true difficulty of fighting the Zerg."
"Not to mention that the medium-level Zerg are difficult to fight, even these low-level Zerg Nest Builders with weak combat power are very difficult to deal with."
"And they are well aware of the principle of 'burning both the good and the bad together.'"
"Every time these Zerg nest builders are surrounded and attacked, they will throw caution to the wind. Their leader, or 'combat officer,' will emit a self-destruction sound wave, ordering the Zerg nest builders to spray themselves or each other with highly corrosive liquid, completely destroying all the Zerg nest builders."
"That level of intense carbonization can destroy all of the Zerg's genetic chains. At the same time, no useful substances can be extracted from either the outer shell or the interior for research."
"We've been trying to target these lowest-level Zerg nest builders since the start of the war, but it seems the Zerg have experts who predicted our behavior and took targeted action."
"So far, their strategy has been very effective."
"Because the Zerg Nest Builders truly obey their leader's orders unconditionally."
"Unlike humans, most of them will obey unconditionally, but there are always a few who think they are smarter than others. They either secretly disobey orders or secretly defect to the enemy..."
