"Since there's no fixed fleet for Star Destroyers, he has the right to assign them at will."
"Shaofu Star is now a war zone, and everything is dedicated to the war. He transferred the Star Destroyer to you, and no one dared to object."
Xia Chujian said with satisfaction: "That's just my good luck! Those people who argue with me, every time they argue, they inject good luck into me, hahahaha!"
Huo Yushen watched intently and couldn't help but be attracted by her optimism and cheerfulness.
This is the difference between optimists and pessimists...
An optimistic person can make people believe that her presence is the best arrangement even if she is on the front line fighting against the Zerg!
Pessimistic people will only complain about themselves and waste their time on internal conflicts until they die. However, even if they die, it will not help.
So it is better to be optimistic in life.
Because of his own experience, Huo Yushen used to be a pessimist.
But since he met Xia Chujian, he was not only attracted to her, but also changed by her.
He looked at her, smiled, and said, "I will give you the authority to control the Star Destroyer. Once you connect to the Star Destroyer's mechanical intelligence, you can operate it autonomously."
"The Star Destroyer exists primarily as a battlefield deterrent. It's said to be a starship capable of fighting against higher-level Zerg."
Xia Chujian's eyes lit up: "Can they actually fight against high-level Zerg?!"
Then her face fell again: "...If even the high-level Zerg come here, our soldiers will almost all be killed..."
Huo Yushen was silent for a moment, then said, "In war, there are always casualties. You have to adapt."
"We can minimize unnecessary deaths caused by mistakes."
"But when there's a huge disparity in strength, and it takes many people to defeat one enemy, death is inevitable."
"This is something we already knew on the first day of our enlistment."
Xia Chujian thought for a moment and said, "I still prefer to fight evenly matched battles."
"If the disparity in strength between the two sides is too great, we should not fight, but retreat."
Huo Yushen glanced at her and said encouragingly, "That makes sense. If you have any ideas in the future, we can discuss them anytime."
Xia Chujian nodded.
Huo Yushen said, "These warships are carrying reinforcements. Let's hold a meeting first."
Xia Chujian said, "A holographic meeting?"
Huo Yushen nodded, turned on the holographic conference device of the Batfighter, and then gave permission to the warships in the lower cabin of the Star Destroyer, allowing the people inside to connect in.
Soon, nearly two million people appeared in the holographic conference room.
Xia Chujian: “…”
Now, apart from herself, she couldn't even see where Huo Yushen was.
In the holographic conference room, Xia Chujian is set as the meeting host.
Xia Chujian looked at the crowded crowd in the holographic conference room and said with emotion, "I am Xia Chujian, Lieutenant Colonel, and the temporary commander of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet."
"I am responsible for all matters in the entire Shaofu Star War Zone."
"I, Xia Chujian, am extremely grateful to everyone for coming to support our Fifth Interstellar Fleet at this very moment!"
She saluted everyone.
In the holographic conference room, applause suddenly broke out.
Someone else shouted.
"We swear to support Lieutenant Colonel Xia to the death!"
"Lieutenant Colonel Xia will definitely lead us to victory!"
…
Xia Chujian: “…”
Her face was expressionless as she spoke calmly, "Half of our Fifth Star Fleet has died for our country."
"That's two million people, all dead in one hour."
As soon as she said this, the holographic conference room suddenly became as quiet as if it had entered the depths of space.
Not only sound, but even light seemed unable to be transmitted.
Xia Chujian also waited for a while, allowing everyone to mentally face the cruelty of the war against the Zerg, before continuing: "We paid such a heavy price to repel the first wave of the Zerg attack."
"I don't know whether the war ahead will be even more brutal."
She stated the facts word by word without any emotion.
Gradually, the two million soldiers who came to reinforce adapted to this uncomfortable truth.
Of course they were mentally prepared before they came.
The vast majority of them come here voluntarily.
Now that you are here, you know that war is not like treating people to a meal. There will definitely be casualties and sacrifices.
But when they heard about the heavy casualties, it was a bit beyond their ability to bear.
In the silence, someone whispered, "Lieutenant Colonel Xia, when fighting against the Zerg, are there any...special things we need to pay attention to?"
After saying this, he felt that this question seemed too cowardly, as if he was afraid of the Zerg!
He quickly added, "I mean, how can we kill the Zerg more efficiently and protect ourselves?"
? ?The second update will be at 5:05 pm!
