The final decision of the Joint Command was to put Lin Xi's promotion on hold for the time being, and let her lead the Swan as a major general first. However, the command also gave a second option, if Lin Xi can submit another 7,000 military merits, which is equivalent to sinking a light patrol, she can be repromoted, and the command will also exempt her from two charges.

Judging from the fact that Chu Jungui was in the recycling bin when he found this document, Lin Xi did not plan to defend himself at all, but silently prepared to fight his own military exploits. It's just that the Swan is not in good shape now, and the original assessed combat power of more than 7,000 is now only 5,000 at most, and it has no advantage in the face of any light patrol of the Federation.

If you want to solve the dilemma, there seems to be only one way......

As soon as Chu Jungui's mind moved, he cut into the hangar of the light patrol, and then saw several heavy fighters parked inside. At this time, there was nothing that could stop the test subject, Chu Jungui easily checked the control system of these heavy fighters, and then found Lin Xi's authority on one of them.

Chu Jungui closed the system, turned around and asked, "Ruobai, what is the report?"

Li Ruobai drank tea leisurely: "It's the literal meaning, but there are many deeper meanings." What, who do you want to report?

Chu Jungui didn't mean to joke, and said, "Someone reported Lin Xi. ”

Li Ruobai bounced up from his seat, scolded, and said after several consecutive scoldings: "Who is so lacking in virtue to report the commander of the front-line starship at such a time? Don't let Lao Tzu know who he is, otherwise he will ......"

"He is Sun Chengcai. Li Xinyi said coldly beside her.

"Who is Sun Chengcai?" Li Ruobai had no impression of the name at all.

Lin Xi said: "Sun Chengcai is the former captain of the Swan. ”

Li Ruobai said angrily: "This guy can't fight on his own, he was removed as the captain, and then he sent his grievances on you?

Lin Xi couldn't stop him, and said helplessly: "What he reported can't be said to be wrong." ”

Li Ruobai took the document passed by Chu Jungui and read it carefully, and then the anger on his face was half less. He sat back, looked at the document twice, closed his eyes and thought.

It was the first time Chu Jun had seen him like this, and he waited patiently at the moment.

Li Ruobai thought for a full ten minutes before saying, "This matter is not so simple. ”

He sorted out his thoughts and said, "Normally, this kind of report is quite accurate, and it must also provide conclusive evidence. Sister Xi did nothing more than two things, one was to give us a full cabin of space torpedoes......"

Speaking of this, Li Ruobai glared at Chu Jungui, who looked at the sky with both eyes and ignored it. Lin Xi relieved the siege and said: "Those torpedoes have made a lot of military achievements, and the part allocated to me is much more than what I can fight in my own battles." ”

Chu Jungui fired a salvo of 27 torpedoes, knocking out the bow of Sino's heavy cruiser in one fell swoop, and almost scrapped the heavy cruiser. This is not a record that a destroyer can achieve, and even light cruisers are very difficult.

The destroyer is a watershed, the span of the next level is larger than the first, the combat power is increased by geometric progression, and the cost is naturally increased exponentially.

Li Ruobai also understood this truth, but if he didn't seize the opportunity to complain about Chu Jungui, he felt uncomfortable all over. After complaining, he continued to analyze: "The second is to dismantle the main gun for us, and return it to Sister Xi after we finish fighting." In fact, these two things are not small, and you don't need to check it carefully to know that the weapon system is a military achievement that only has after leaving the starship. Moreover, most of the crew on this starship are Sun Chengcai's old subordinates, and one or two of them are still loyal to him, and it is normal to secretly pass on data. ”

"It is reasonable and necessary to initiate an investigation because the time and place of military merit and weapon use do not match. Most of the promotion of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty relied on military merit, which was related to the entire military system of the dynasty and must be strict. But on the other hand, this is a war zone after all, and it is a special war zone that has been cut off from support and requires every effort to support it. Even if Sister Xi's military merits are flawed in the process, the military merits are real, and the blow to the Federation is also real, which is not difficult to find. ”

Li Ruobai paused and said: "In this case, we must also entangle the details of the procedure, although there is the banner of procedural justice, but there must be people with bad intentions." And this matter can't stand up to careful scrutiny, we are fighting life and death on the front line, and a group of officials and masters in the back are holding magnifying glasses to find fault with us, so they are really not afraid of people knowing?"

Li Ruobai sneered, "If they really dare to do this, then they have to be prepared to bear the scolding of the crowd! In this case, they still want to be able to keep their official position?"

After calming down his emotions, Li Ruobai said: "Judging from this document, the mastermind behind the scenes obviously understands this truth, so he gave Sister Xi a second choice." It looks magnanimous, and even if it is tracked down, it can be shirked, but in fact it is quite insidious, as if it is a military exploit that has deducted Sister Xi from a colonel for no reason! If Sister Xi uses the second option, then it is equivalent to confirming the accusation. If there is no sin, why should you pay for it with merit?"

The girl was a little confused when she heard this, and said, "Is that sister guilty or not?"

Li Ruobai carefully considered the words: "There are mistakes, but they are not crimes, and they should not be used in this way, this is suppression." ”

"You said that there was a mistake and that you shouldn't be punished, so what should you do?" Li Xinyi still didn't understand.

Li Ruobai patiently explained: "Procedural justice is indispensable, and judging the process according to the result is also the proper meaning. Even if Sister Xi has a violation, it is to better fight the enemy. Therefore, the punishment should be punished, but how to punish is great. For example, like now, the application of the major general who detained Sister Xi first is suppression. The method of encouragement is to promote Sister Xi, and add more military merit requirements when Sister Xi is promoted to lieutenant general in the future. ”

"So what should we do now?"

Li Ruobai glanced at Lin Xi and said, "It depends on how Sister Xi chooses, and the drastic method is to directly poke out the report, so that public opinion can put pressure on the starship fleet joint command." Another way is for several of us to come together and put pressure on us to explain why we are investigating the front-line commanders at this time. It's a little gentler, but it may have little effect on the masterminds. ”

Lin Xi looked a little tired, sighed, and said: "I don't want to stand in the center of public opinion anymore, and I don't want to get involved in these boring things, I just want to fight well until this war passes." ”

"Sister Xi! you can't back down at this time, the more you retreat, the more they will gain an inch!" Li Ruobai was a little anxious.

Lin Xi rubbed his forehead and said, "Jun Gui, what do you say?"

Chu Jungui thought about it and was about to say something.

Everyone is looking forward to it.
