There are not a few people under Li Xingqi who want to go to the battlefield, but they also have their own strategies, and if they all recommend themselves, they will definitely attract opposition from others.

As a result, these people have already secretly had a tacit understanding, and they recommend people who have a good relationship with them, and recommend each other to each other, so as to avoid being collectively opposed by others.

Li Xingqi knew their tricks very well in his heart, but he was also happy not to debunk them, and these people under him could perform to their heart's content.

"I recommend Rear Admiral Xu Yi to lead the fleet against the invaders!" Mai Feng took the lead and said that it was the young general he recommended who was single-handedly raised.

Chi Xiaoyuan also immediately followed and said: "My subordinates think that Major General Lin Huaijin is a very suitable candidate, he is stable in command and good at scheduling, and he will definitely succeed if he is sent!" ”

"Lieutenant General Ma Pei ...... recommended for his humble position"

"I think Major General Hua Zhenyu is the most suitable candidate, with him on the horse, he will definitely be able to kill the enemy!"

Everyone here is competing to recommend their close people. This expedition has a great chance of winning, it is an excellent opportunity to make a fortune, if the person he recommended is selected by Li Xingqi, he will return from victory in the future, and the person recommended will naturally have a great benefit.

The people who participated in the meeting argued for a long time, and they all fought for red faces and bruised muscles, which was not easy at all compared with the battle.

Li Xingqi and the others were almost arguing, so he cleared his throat and said slowly: "The candidates recommended by everyone are very good, but I hope to give young people a chance to exercise in this battle, so I think the young people who just came up should be allowed to go, what do you think?" ”

"This ......" Everyone didn't expect that Li Xingqi would say such a thing.

The meaning of Li Xingqi's words is very clear, the people he wants to send this time are not the people here, but other candidates.

Many people secretly said in their hearts: "Listen to the meaning of the adults, this is to promote newcomers, could it be that there are any special plans?" Or are you dissatisfied with those of us? ”

In fact, Li Xingqi has both meanings, and now he controls more and more places, and every place needs to be managed by reliable people, so it is urgent to promote a group of young and capable people who know how to command the army at the same time.

Therefore, Li Xingqi plans to take this opportunity to promote and inspect a group of young officers, and if there are suitable talents, they can be trained in the future.

On the other hand, Li Xingqi is also worried that now these generals are all henchmen who have followed him for many years, and once they are in power for too long, I am afraid that they will form a very strong force and block the promotion channel of others, which will have a bad impact on the entire army.

Everyone saw that Li Xingqi intended to use a newcomer, so they no longer bothered to recommend candidates, but began to guess who Li Xingqi planned to promote.

"Your Excellency is right, but I would like to ask, which young man is your lord going to lead the fleet?" Mai Feng asked.

His question is exactly what everyone wants to know, if he can know in advance the person Li Xingqi wants to promote, maybe there is still time to win him over.

Li Xingqi's subordinates are actually divided into several factions, and there has always been open and secret fighting between them, since they can't send people from their own faction into battle, they must find a way to win the newcomers who have been promoted to their side.

Li Xingqi didn't know about these things, so he thought of starting the newcomers, instead of letting the various factions continue to fight.

Li Xingqi didn't answer Mai Feng's question directly, but asked: "I would like to hear your opinions on this matter, if there is a suitable candidate, you might as well put it forward for everyone to discuss." ”

This remark immediately sparked a new round of competition, and everyone recommended the young officers in their faction, hoping to win Li Xingqi's favor.

However, where do they know Li Xingqi's thoughts, Li Xingqi's words are actually fishing law enforcement, he will not promote any of the candidates recommended by these people, and whoever is recommended will be on Li Xingqi's blacklist.

The meeting lasted for a few hours, and most of the time was spent on recommending candidates, and there was not much discussion about how to defeat the Silver Star Alliance.

After the meeting, Li Xingqi asked his secretary to make a list of the candidates recommended at the meeting, and Li Xingqi would not entrust any young officers on this list with important tasks in a short period of time.

A few days later, Li Xingqi finally chose the person he liked, and he chose a total of two people, one named Xiao Yunhai and the other called Dou Hu.

Both of them are young officers who have become rapidly stubborn in recent years, and they have performed very well in previous battles, and have repeatedly made meritorious achievements, and have won unanimous praise from many people.

The most important thing is that these two young officers have no background, they are not from big families, and they have no dealings with the factions under Li Xingqi, so they are the right people in Li Xingqi's mind.

Li Xingqi issued an order to promote the two young officers from colonel to brigadier general, and ordered them to lead a fleet to meet the invading Silver Star Alliance, and be sure to recover the occupied galaxy as soon as possible.

These two never dreamed that they would be promoted from colonel to brigadier general overnight, which had never happened in Li Xingqi's army in the past.

Promotion from colonel to general is often very difficult to cross, and many people are stuck at this step and cannot be promoted to general.

In fact, it was not only the two parties who were surprised, but also the officials and generals under Li Xingqi who were very surprised by this.

In the eyes of different people, Li Xingqi's move has many different meanings, and some people believe that it is a good thing, which is conducive to stimulating the growth of young officers and encouraging them to be more courageous in combat.

Some people also believe that this is Li Xingqi warning those original heroes and veterans that there are people who can replace them at any time, and remember not to be too complacent, let alone make factional battles too much.

Others believe that Li Xingqi is supporting a new faction, in case the original faction grows bigger and bigger, threatening Li Xingqi's own power.

Li Xingqi didn't care what the people below said about this matter, since he had given the order, it was bound to be carried out to the end, and soon he arranged for various departments to prepare in front of the station, and handed over the two newly established fleets to the two of them respectively.

After nearly two months of running-in training, Li Xingqi ordered the two fleets to go on an expedition to the galaxy occupied by the Silver Star Alliance.

Two weeks later, the longbow fleet led by Xiao Yunhai arrived at the White Ape System first, and the Silver Star Second Fleet waiting here was immediately ready to meet it.

The two sides made no unnecessary moves, and soon contact broke out within the system, and a fierce battle ensued.

Both fleets showed all their skills, hoping to defeat each other with their own strength, so the battle was extremely fierce as soon as they came up, and neither planned to wear it down for a long time.

Li Xingqi is still very discerning in looking at people, Xiao Yunhai, who has just been promoted, is very grateful to Li Xingqi, and has already secretly sworn in his heart that he must perform well in this battle and shut up those who question him.

Although Xiao Yunhai is young, he has also been promoted through battles all the way, and his experience is actually very rich, and his command of the fleet is also calm and ruthless, and various methods and routines emerge in endlessly.

Although the Silver Star Second Fleet is not inferior in numbers, its combat level is average, and it can be evenly matched at the beginning, but after the initial stage, it slowly loses the upper hand.

Both sides relied on real strength in this battle, and there was not much ingenuity, and the competition was completely the hard power of the fleet. I have to say that the fleet under Li Xingqi has indeed maintained a consistent style in training, and its combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the Second Fleet of Silver Star.

As the battle progresses, this disparity in training becomes apparent, especially when both sides begin to feel fatigued, and the benefits of rigorous training become even more apparent.

The battle lasted for nearly 6 hours, and the second fleet of Silver Star began to gradually become unable to resist, and the fleet formation was divided into two by the longbow fleet, so they had to fight separately.

Xiao Yunhai seized the opportunity to surround a part of the Silver Star Second Fleet, and used the numerical advantage to eat it up little by little.

The encircled Silver Star Second Fleet resisted hard for two or three hours, and finally could not hold on, was completely dispersed, and the chaotic formation was difficult to protect each other, and finally all of them were wiped out.

Although the other part of the Silver Star Second Fleet tried to rescue its companions several times, it was never able to break through the formation of the Longbow Fleet, and could only watch its own battle be wiped out.

The loss of half of the fleet made the morale of the remaining Silver Star Second Fleet fall to the bottom, and was overwhelmed by the Longbow Fleet, and the commander saw that the general situation was gone, and it would only delay time if he continued to fight, so he came down and retreated.

The defeated Second Fleet of Silver Star was pursued by the Longbow Fleet, and as a result, many more ships were lost, and only about a quarter of the ships that managed to escape were left.

After defeating the Second Fleet of Silver Star, Xiao Yunhai immediately ordered the fleet to march into the occupied planet. A few days later, the occupying forces remaining on the planet announced their surrender, and the White Ape Galaxy was now back in the hands of Li Xingqi, and the entire battle took only about a week.

The report of the battle was sent back to Li Xingqi, which made Li Xingqi very happy, and the young generals he promoted were able to succeed in the first battle, which fully explained his vision and gave Li Xingqi a lot of confidence, and he must promote more newcomers in the future.

Just a few days after the recovery of the White Ape Galaxy, the battle of the Canary Galaxy began.

The Horn Fleet commanded by Dou Hu fought fiercely with the Silver Star Third Fleet, and from the previous lessons, the Silver Star Third Fleet did not dare to open the formation for a decisive battle as soon as it came up, but adopted a very cautious approach.

The fleets of the two sides roamed around while fighting, and started a guerrilla in the galaxy, although they fought more than a dozen times, but neither side was fundamentally harmed, and the war gradually fell into a state of seesaw.
