After Aurora's explanation, Yang Yi knew how big these two titles were.

In the Weaver Clan, the Empress is both a political leader and a military commander. Although like the Hidden Spirits, the Weavers also have a power structure similar to the Council of Elders, the "Council of the Ten Thousand Mothers", and only after the Assembly of the Ten Thousand Mothers passes a resolution can the Empress gain the power to command and mobilize the legions, but nominally, the Empress is the military commander of the Weaver Clan at all times, and in the words of the Human Federation, the Commander-in-Chief.

It's just that the empress can't sit in the position of military commander all the time, and it is impossible to focus on the corps at all times. In fact, the Empress's main job was to manage the day-to-day affairs of the Weavers, i.e., to fulfill the duties of a political leader, and even in times of war, the Empress rarely directly led the army in battle, and most of the time remained in the rear, dealing with various political matters that had to be handled by the Empress herself.

The problem was that no one could replace the Empress's position in the Legion, especially in the eyes of the soldiers.

For this reason, a staff body that was responsible only to the Empress and handled military affairs exclusively for the Empress was born.

More than 4,000 years ago, during the First Greenwich War, the Empress at that time, because she was young and did not know much about the affairs of the Legion, entrusted the Ten Thousand Mothers Council to select twelve experienced generals to form the first staff in the history of the Weaver Clan. After several baptisms of the Greenwich War, the effectiveness of this institution was proven, and it has been preserved for a long time as an official institution. Although the nature of the staff has changed, it is much larger than before, and it has real power, but to this day there are still only twelve staff officers, of whom they are directly responsible to the Empress. The person in charge of the general staff is the "chief staff officer".

Although nominally, the General Staff did not have the authority to transfer and command the legions, and was only an advisory body that shared military affairs and provided advice and advice to the Empress, but for the past few thousand years, the Staff Weaver was essentially the headquarters. Especially if the empress was unwilling or unable to take on military duties. In fact, even if it is just to provide advice, the General Staff has a lot of influence.

The Chief Staff Officer is not only the leader of the twelve staff officers, but also the leader of the General Staff, which is equivalent to the Chief of Staff of the Human Federation Military Department. If one takes into account the Empress's exalted status in the Weaver Clan, as long as the Empress has her full support, the Chief Staff Officer is equivalent to the military leader of the Weaver Clan.

Yang Yi didn't know that in the history of the Weaver Star Clan, he was the first foreign clan to be appointed as the chief staff officer.

Although in the last millennia. There are many foreigners who have entered the staff and held important positions, and even became staff officers, but before Yang Yi, the chief staff officers were all star weavers, and they were mainly members of the royal family. This is also understandable, i.e. the power of the chief staff is simply too great.

According to Alora, times of war. Unless the empress gives an edict, then the order given by the chief staff officer is the order given by the empress. Both the samurai guards and the legions must be unconditionally obeyed and enforced, and disobeying the orders of the chief staff is disobeying the orders of the empress.

It's just that, relatively speaking, the title of "First Staff Officer" is still a little worse than that of "Royal Advisor".

It's not that the power is not big enough, it's that the status is not high enough.

In any case, the "chief staff officer" is only a military adviser. At most, it can only replace the commander-in-chief, that is, the empress to command and dispatch the legions, and has only military privileges. After thousands of years of development, the Weaver Clan is still a first-class top civilization in the Galactic Alliance, and has long established a perfect military and political system. Not just in times of peace, but even in times of war. The army was also subject to severe restraint by the authorities. As a result, even if the Chief Staff Officer has the full support of the Empress, he still needs to have the support of the Ten Thousand Mothers, or at least the approval, otherwise he will not be able to smoothly dispatch and command the legion. In some cases, the Lady of All Motherhood was even able to force the Empress to make other arrangements.

To put it bluntly, the power of the chief staff is limited to the military sphere and has little political influence.

Obviously, the "royal advisors" are a different story.

In a sense, the Royal Adviser is similar to the Chief Staff, only in the political sphere and the other in the military sphere.

Like the Chief Staff, the Royal Advisor is actually a fictitious position.

Although in the past few thousand years, most of the empresses of the Weaver Clan have focused on government affairs, and there are not many empresses who are enthusiastic about military affairs, but it is not nothing, such as the "Empress Yama" who led the Weaver Legion to conquer the sea of stars in the Fourth Greenwich War and created countless miracles, is famous for her military exploits in the entire Galactic Alliance, even in the Silicon Charm Alliance. In addition, the throne of the Weaver Clan is not inherited, but elected from among the royal family, so many empresses were still very young when they ascended the throne, such as the current Star Soul Empress. The problem caused by this is that those who are enthusiastic about war or young empresses are not outstanding in political ability, lack the ability to lead the entire Weaver Clan, and need the assistance of strong Youli, so the "Royal Advisor" was born.

If the "chief staff officer" is the empress's military adviser, then the "royal advisor" is the empress's political adviser.

It's just that, over the past few thousand years, these two positions have rarely appeared at the same time, let alone by the same person.

The reason is simple, unless the empress is too young, she has to take on some aspect of responsibility, rather than relying on others to help her. What's more, if military and political power were combined, not only would the Empress be threatened, but the power structure of the Weavers would also be problematic.

In addition, historically, the "royal advisors" have almost exclusively been members of the royal family.

The reason is simple: the royal adviser has the power to exercise power in place of the empress, which is equivalent to the prime minister, and must be the most reliable person.

Normally, the royal advisors were relatives of the empress and the main cronies who put her on the throne.

Obviously, Yang Yi once again became the "first".

When the Star Soul Empress suddenly made this decision, not only the officer named Otis was shocked, but even Alora was surprised. It was only after calming down that Arora understood. What the Star Soul Empress really awarded to Yang Yi was actually a title, that is, chief staff officer, plus royal advisors, just to improve Yang Yi's status and help Yang Yi establish an authoritative image in the legion.

The key is that Yang Yi is a foreigner.

Although the Star Soul Empress appointed Yang Yi as a royal advisor, as a foreigner, and has not been to the Ten Thousand Mothers' Association, I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to go in the future, so Yang Yi only has a false name, not real power. To put it simply, even if he becomes a royal advisor, Yang Yi has no right to intervene in the political affairs of the Weaver Clan, and without going to the Ten Thousand Mother's Association, Yang Yi is not even qualified to participate in the political activities of the Weaver Clan. Besides, this title was given by the Empress of the Star Soul, and as long as the Empress was willing, she could take it away at any time, thus limiting Yang Yi's political influence. Besides, as long as Yang Yi is smart enough, he will not make a fuss about this title, let alone use it to interfere in the internal affairs of the Weaver Star Clan.

If Yang Yi was not a foreigner, the Star Soul Empress would definitely not make such an arrangement.

Alora knew very well that it was necessary to improve Yang Yi's status at this time, and clear the internal obstacles for sending troops to the North Fourth District and rushing to aid the Human Federation.

In fact, this is also the true intention of the Star Soul Empress.

In any case, Yang Yi is a foreign race, and he is a human race. Not to mention the officers and soldiers of the female samurai guard, even the officers and soldiers of the legion, they would not take a human in their eyes, let alone obey the command. If the Star Soul Empress is also there, it is not a big problem, and the female warrior guards will definitely not disobey the empress's orders. But next, Yang Yi will lead the female warrior guards to set off in advance, and the Star Soul Empress will be with the large army. If the empress hadn't given a clear and unambiguous order and hadn't given Yang Yi enough power, I'm afraid she would have caused a lot of trouble. Although there are other methods, the method used by the Star Soul Empress is the most direct, at least it will not make Otis misunderstood.

After seeing the true intentions of the empress, Alora not only did not raise objections, but also fully supported them.

As the patriarch of the Starweaver Clan, and a member of the Female Samurai Guard when she was younger, Alora has a strong influence in the Female Samurai Guard.

Since Alora didn't say anything against it, Otis remained silent.

It's just that Yang Yi doesn't feel relaxed at all.

Although he could also see that the Star Soul Empress arranged this way to eliminate potential hidden dangers and make the female warrior guards absolutely obey his orders, Yang Yi knew very well that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. The Star Soul Empress is equivalent to handing over the entire female warrior guard to him, and he has to be responsible for this operation. If the action goes well, it will be better. If it doesn't go well, Yang Yi has no reason to shirk responsibility.

Thinking about it again, Yang Yi was relieved.

They are there to save the Human Federation, in the final analysis, the Star Weaver Clan is just sending troops to help, Yang Yi is the first person responsible, even if there is no power given by the Star Soul Empress, there is no reason to put the responsibility on others. Besides, this operation must not fail, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. Since there is no way out, it is much better to obtain the power given by the Star Soul Empress than not being able to command the female warrior guards at that time.

Thinking about this truth clearly, Yang Yi did not shirk it, and took the high hat that the empress buttoned for him.

Fortunately, Otis is a typical soldier, and it is not wrong to say that she is a woman, she is the kind of straightforward character, as long as she does not violate her basic principles, it is obviously not difficult to deal with her. Besides, Yang Yi has no reason to violate her basic principles.

Next, the Star Soul Empress issued an edict.

Otis was only the commander of the female warrior guard, and even if she knew what the empress meant, she needed a formal edict to convince the other officers and soldiers of the guard that Yang Yi was the empress's spokesperson. Besides, these two titles are so powerful that they must be formally appointed by the Empress, not just a dictatorship.

After getting the empress's edict, Yang Yi suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier.

However, there was no time for him to adjust to his new identity, because the royal guard of the Hidden Spirit Clan, led by Prince Cardozo, had already arrived. (To be continued.) )
