It is conceivable that Marshal Xiao Yi's retirement will cause a sensation among the people of Shengyue.

In fact, after the decisive victory in the anti-invasion war in 352 years of the cosmic calendar, countries began to systematically reduce the number of active military personnel.

From 352 to 357 in the cosmic calendar, after the liquidation of the Zerg was basically completed, a large-scale disarmament was carried out.

After all, the war is over, and the various star fields are in ruins, and a large number of laborers are urgently needed. The anti-invasion war has lasted too long, and the destructive power on human society is staggering, and the economic systems of various star fields are on the verge of collapse. The wartime supply system had been forced to be implemented for more than a decade, and in the last years it was almost impossible to enforce it.

There has been a sharp reduction in daily necessities, and even the supply of food has become difficult. In the cosmic era, for the first time, a large number of elderly people committed suicide voluntarily.

And the victory of the anti-invasion war does not mean that the social and economic situation of mankind has improved.

In the 357th year of the cosmic calendar, the anti-invasion war officially ended, and mankind began to carry out large-scale economic construction. Until the 400th year of the cosmic calendar, after 43 years of hard work, the standard of living of mankind has finally been restored across the board.

To say that, after the end of the war, disarmament is also very legitimate. After all, in the anti-invasion war, there were too many deaths and there was a shortage of labor. However, Sheng Yue, who has already undergone five disarmaments, announced at the beginning of this year that he would disarm for the sixth time, which made Shang Si a little confused.

The first five disarmaments have reduced Sheng Yue's active military personnel to a very low number, and although the Zerg has disappeared in the central region, there are still many remnants of the Zerg hiding in the border area, those large uninhabited star fields. The army on the border must patrol regularly to exterminate the remaining Zerg.

The sixth disarmament is mainly aimed at the border army.

In the first five disarmaments, half of the garrison army has been cut, and in the sixth disarmament, the Sheng Yue government announced that it will reduce 80 percent of the active garrison army.

When Shang Si heard the news, although his face was expressionless, he actually began to complain in his heart: After laying off so many people, is this no longer worrying about the remnants of the Zerg?

However, it seemed that only Shang Si thought so, and most of the other people in Sheng Yue, and even the students of his Colan Military Academy, supported this disarmament.

Anyway, after the last few years of clearance, there is not much left of the Zerg, and they have been extinct in the Central Star Domain for many years, and even in the Frontier Star Field, there has been no trace of the Zerg for decades.

Maybe the Zerg will be dead a long time ago.

Almost all the people of Shengyue think so.

Then the current border army seems to be a little too redundant. Not only is this a waste of taxpayers' tax payments, but it is not of much use and should have been cut long ago.

As for what happens in case of a Zerg?

Didn't all the border troops be cut out, aren't there still some people left? These people are holding weapons specially developed for the Zerg, how can they not be able to defeat those three or two bugs.

With the support of the people, the disarmament proceeded very smoothly, and only in February came out that Marshal Xiao Yi was opposed to the disarmament.

However, this rumor was quickly ignored by the people, and everyone knew that the first major disarmament was promoted by Marshal Xiao Yi, and it was impossible for Marshal Xiao Yi to oppose disarmament.

Moreover, Marshal Xiao Yi's voluntary resignation and retirement three months ago is not also a manifestation of his support for this disarmament?

The outbreak of the fifth scientific and technological revolution has made leaps and bounds in various disciplines, and in the 350 years of the universe, the emergence of gene injection technology has extended the life expectancy of human beings to 300 years old. At that time, this technology was still very rare and precious, and the first batch of people to use this technology were not high-ranking officials and politicians in various star fields, but generals of the main forces in various star fields on the battlefield.

Marshal Xiao Yi was, of course, the first batch of injectors. Therefore, eighty years old, which is an advanced age in the eyes of ordinary people, is indeed a legitimate prime of life for Marshal Xiao Yi, who can live to be 300 years old, and he is not at the age of retirement.

Of course, with the deepening of gene injection research and development, this technology has also been popularized among the public in the past 30 years. This effectively alleviated the danger caused by the large reduction of population resources, and because of the popularization of this technology, the forced birth laws were abolished in various star fields.

Therefore, the retirement of Marshal Xiao Yi can only be a support for the government's disarmament policy. Although the people were reluctant to abdicate this marshal who had made great contributions, since it was his decision, most of the people in Sheng Yue also expressed their understanding.

If Marshal Xiao Yi's abdication has any impact on the Curran Military Academy, then it means that many of this year's graduates have to re-inquire about the preferences of their superiors.

That's right, Kelan Military Academy is the first military academy in Shengyue, and most of its graduates will be admitted to the Shengyue Central Army. Three months ago, the Shengyue Central Army was still led by Marshal Xiao Yi, and now, due to the retirement of Marshal Xiao Yi, the Central Army has been taken over by General Zheng Duan.

General Zheng Duan was also born in the anti-invasion war, followed Marshal Xiao Yi for decades, and has been Marshal Xiao Yi's deputy.

――――――――――――――――

As a military academy established during the anti-invasion war, the entire school exudes a rigorous and sharp momentum. As a military academy, people here are very strict about the concept of superiors and subordinates, and after returning the salute to the junior students who saluted him in the corridor, Shang Si continued to walk towards the principal's office. He didn't know that the two students behind him had started a whispered discussion after he left.

"That person is Shang Si?" Confirming that the man had walked away, Barton asked his companion in a low voice.

"It should be, I've seen his photos, but I didn't expect that the real person seems to be even stricter than in the photos." Kyle replied in a whisper, "I was so nervous when he came over that I was stiff. ”

"Me too." Barton patted his chest with palpitations.

Then Barton suddenly remembered something, and his face turned white.

"When we saluted just now, there was nothing irregular, right?"

"Probably not...... Kyle wasn't sure, "If we don't salute properly, we'll definitely be reprimanded by that person......"

Kyle shuddered at the thought of that image. If he was really reprimanded by that cold-faced killing god, he would definitely be scared and cry directly like his predecessors.

Barton was also frightened by the scene described by his companion.

The two glanced at each other, both kept their mouths shut, and then walked briskly away in the opposite direction from Shang Si when he left.
