"Yes." The system replied, "Lieutenant officers are just junior officers, and their qualifications as commanders of the base are too shallow. Therefore, as long as you gather resources, you can be promoted. After being promoted to a colonel-level officer, he is a mid-level officer of the Earth Federation, so he cannot be promoted through simple tasks. You can only rely on the old profession and military merits of the military to get promoted. “

Chen Xiaomou was calculating the resources in his hands in his heart, and there was basically no hope of fighting against several major forces in the world at present, and the rebel forces were also very large and very secretive, if he annoyed them, he would always worry about whether he would be stabbed in the back. The only thing that can be dealt with now is the scattered pirate forces.

"If I go to fight the pirate forces, will I be able to get merit?" Chen Xiaomou asked the system.

"Yes, but it will be relatively rare. Because the greatest credit in the Earth Federation Army is the credit of neutralizing the war with the hostile country. The work of clearing out pirates is relatively small, and most of them are the work of local garrison fleets. The system replied.

Chen Xiaomou cut off, put this bad news aside first, and planned to look at his upgrade rewards and change his mood.

After this upgrade, the Earth Federation Army Headquarters rewarded a Pegasus-class ship of the same type as the Anubion, of course, not the Anubion, but a new ship. A warship of this class can carry 9 MS, plus the firepower is also very strong, the survivability is strong, and it can also move on the ground.

Secondly, the Salamis-class light cruiser can be produced, and at the same time, it can also be modified and upgraded, and if the energy is enough, it can be directly upgraded to the Clapp-class that can really carry the MS, and the final evolution is the La Kellam-class of the Bell Team.

In addition, the system has undergone a lot of changes, first of all, the financial system has been added, and the base has one more money in addition to energy value and production resources, which is the official currency of the Earth Federal Government, Hait. The main application of this currency is to pay salaries to the troops, and Chen Xiaomou pays the salaries of hundreds of people in the base. After the officers and soldiers of the base hold the currency, they can send it home or save it in the bank of the Earth Federal Government, or they can buy imported goods internally, and they can also exchange the world currency held by the base to spend in this world.

Although the system has lifted the upper limit on the number of people in the base, it also carries a financial burden, with the salary base point of ordinary soldiers in the Earth Federation Army being 3883 HOT, 4200 HOTT for captain-level officers, 7016 HOTT for colonel-level officers, and 11318 HOTT for general rank. On this basis, it is divided into 191 levels according to military branches, seniority, and so on. In this way, the more than 200 people in the entire base will pay millions of hits every month, and the spending power of 1 hit is equivalent to 1 dollar.

The slightly better news is that there is no limit to the maximum number of officers and soldiers to be recruited now, and if your economy is relatively good, then you can recruit as many soldiers and officers as you want. On the other hand, it is possible to specify the rank of the recruited officer, for example, how many captains, how many recruits you want.

====================================================

Just as Chen Xiaomou was still working on the new system, in front of the Commander-in-Chief of the Atlantic Federation Space Force, Major Taylor Carleton was dressed up and prepared to go in to meet Field Marshal Kells, the commander-in-chief of the Atlantic Federation Space Force. Field Marshal Kells was a neutral faction within the Atlantic Federation Army, and when this position was chosen, the various factions were reluctant to give this position to other factions, and in the end, with the mediation of the House, Field Marshal Kells of the neutral faction took the position. And after he took office, he did follow the way of the neutral faction, and as long as he did not violate the various rules he set, the actions of all factions would not be stopped by him. In recent years, the intelligence department has expanded within the military, and the captaincy of the Glory has been appointed through him. This has gradually aroused the discontent of radicals who do not like to follow the rules and regulations.

"It's the young master of the Carlton family." Field Marshal Kells had Major Taylor Carlton sit on the sofa in the reception area, but instead of sitting across from him, he sat at his desk facing the reception area.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief." Tyler Carlton didn't dare to show his petty temperament on this big man who was a big man in the army, so he had to secretly slander himself.

"This time, the North American Liberty Alliance personally sent a message to inquire, hoping that we would give an explanation." Field Marshal Kells lit a cigar and took a puff and asked, referring to the recent attack on the battleship of the North American Freedom Alliance, which caused a stir in public opinion circles: "We are allies with them, and there is a big operation to come, so they don't want this to affect our relationship." So this post is also a formality, let's make up a story. He paused, then said, "I've read the report of the incident, and I still want to hear what you think as the mastermind of this matter." ”

Taylor Carleton didn't dare to slack off, so he had to tell his thoughts again. In fact, the radical factions of the universe do not only exist here in the Atlantic Federation, but also exist in all major spheres of influence on the entire planet. Because after the universe is developed, those forces that remain on the ground hope that they can control those who go to the universe. And those who have worked hard in the great development of the universe will certainly remain dissatisfied with this exploitation. And with the suppression of cosmic forces by ground forces, the cosmic radical forces of the Atlantic Federation and the North American Liberty League have a tendency to connect with each other. Therefore, in the attack case, it was deliberately sent from within the North American Freedom League, hoping to deal a blow to the enthusiasm of the cosmic forces within North America for the pursuit of space-exclusive weapons. In turn, it maintains its dependence on the ground. And the entire intelligence department believes that this matter, whether it succeeds or fails, will not be made public. If it succeeds, it can allow the North American Liberty Alliance to suppress the cosmic faction that is about to move, and then break the cosmic power connection between the two forces.

In fact, the Atlantic Federation also successfully suppressed this incident, and at the same time, although the experimental force was established, many people from the radical faction of the universe were driven into the experimental force, and the personnel of the ground faction were inserted into the space army. But I didn't expect this matter to be revealed by a third-party organization.

"Do you know what you're doing wrong?" Field Marshal Kelton asked.

"This should not be undertaken."

"No, although I don't agree with this plan, there is nothing wrong with looking at it from your standpoint." Marshal Keldon pinched off his cigar and said, "Your mistake lies with the third party, in fact, on the one hand, you didn't think that the third party force had a record in its hands, and secondly, you want new technology, you have many ways to try, and rashly use force to offend an unknown force with new technology." You can go back yourself and imagine all the possibilities. ”

With that, he pressed a button on his desk, and an officer on duty walked in and ushered Taylor Carlton out of the office.

The next day, the military gave the results of the investigation: "This incident was caused by Major Taylor Carleton because of a personal vendetta with an officer of an ally, which eventually led him to take three warships out of the base through his own network and retaliate against that officer." For this reason, our command handed over Major Taylor Carlton, as well as several captains and crew members involved in the case, to a military tribunal. In the end, the main culprit, Tyler Carleton, was expelled from the military and sentenced to death for rebellion. The rest of the persons involved in the case were sentenced to demotion, closure, life imprisonment and other punishments......"

A few days later, Taylor Carlton, who was shot, got on a private jet and returned to the ground.
