These people, you look at me, I look at you, but the expression on his face is gloomy and gloomy that is visible to the naked eye.

Xia Chujian was more curious, but he didn't continue to ask any more, just a pair of flexible eyes, constantly looking at the faces of these five people.

In the end, it was Sun Jiahao who said: "Since the captain is interested, we have nothing to hide." - We are not deserters. ”

"We did move to the Fourth Starfleet after that battle."

Xia Chujian raised his eyebrows: "...... But why do they all say that there were only three people left in the Fifth Starfleet at that time? ”

The corners of Sun Jiahao's mouth twitched and said, "What other reason can there be?" - We're not human......"

See you at the beginning of summer: "......"

She didn't understand for a while, and subconsciously asked, "Huh? You guys...... Is it humanoid? ”

Although she has always believed that humanoids and humans are both humans, she also knows that the Beichen Empire does not treat humanoids as humans.

Sun Jiahao was stunned for a moment, and then felt that this young female captain was really interesting.

He lamented, "Of course we're not humanoids. But in Starfleet, we Star Marines are probably similar to humanoids......"

At this time, the other captain also spoke.

The sign on his chest reads: Second Lieutenant: Li Dali, Captain of the 3rd Marine Team of the Saker-class D1 Star Cruiser.

Li Dali said: "Jiahao, let's talk well, Captain Xia is young, and he probably doesn't know the truth." ”

Then he looked at Xia Chujian and said sincerely: "Captain Xia, it's like this, the battle loss rate is calculated in Starfleet, but in fact, we marines are not included in it." This is also the reason why Jiahao said that we are not human......"

Xia Chujian's fists hardened when he heard this: "...... What does it mean to calculate the battle loss rate, and the marines are not included in it?! ”

Li Dali was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Yes, Captain Xia has only been in the army for a short time, right?" ”

Xia Hatsumi didn't answer, but just snorted noncommittally.

Sun Jiahao became more and more yin and yang, and said: "That is to say, if we die in battle, we will die in battle, and we don't even count a denominator!" ”

Xia Chujian's eyes widened.

Li Dali had no choice but to explain in detail: "Each starfleet has at least half a million marines. In addition, there are star fighter pilots and officers, pilots, navigators and captains of all ranks. However, when calculating the battle loss rate, only these people are killed or wounded in battle. ”

"We, the Star Marines, will die in battle, and they are not included in the performance evaluation indicators of the coach."

Xia Chujian didn't know what expression to use to face this absurd approach.

As if in a dream, she said, "...... That's why, saying that the Fifth Star War killed more than 5,000 people and wiped out almost the entire fleet, and only three survived? - Those more than 5,000 people, not including any of the Star Marines who died in battle? ”

Sun Jiahao didn't expect this young captain to understand all at once.

He was no longer yin and yang, gritted his teeth and said: "At that time, before the battle of our Fifth Starfleet, the interstellar marines were full, with 500,000 people. ”

"But after being attacked by the fleet of the Southern Cross Principality, within a minute, we had 500,000 men, and soon we were reduced to 250,000 ......"

Xia Chujian: "!! ”

Nest grass!

The battle loss rate will be 50% as soon as the battle starts!

Is interstellar warfare so brutal?!

Sun Jiahao continued: "At that time, we were secretly attacked, and under the leadership of Huo Shuai, the battle loss rate of our marines has always been the lowest among the five fleets. But that time, someone betrayed our position, and the marines who were landing on the desert star became a target, and they were caught off guard, and in less than a minute, they were reduced by 50 percent. ”

"Then everyone came to their senses and began to fight back in formation, but our numbers were far less than the enemy's, and soon more than 50,000 people were killed."

"Of course, Huo Shuai can't sit idly by and watch us be slaughtered, he immediately ordered the fighter pilots and senior officers to launch a counteroffensive and not hide in the rear."

"It was Huo Shuai who personally charged ahead, taking those people to inflict heavy losses on the enemy's living forces, while covering the retreat of our marines who had already used up all their bullets."

"The aristocratic officers and pilots who refused to fight the enemy to the death, and even wanted to defect to the enemy, were directly killed by him."

"But the Southern Cross Principality has been preparing for many years, and the reserve army is endless, and seeing that there is large fire support to reach the battlefield, and then let us resist hard, it will be the result of the death of all the marines on the spot."

"To that extent, both sides have high-level mechas. Aren't we, ordinary marines, who only have military exoskeletons and no real mechas, suffer heavy casualties? ”

"In fact, the fighter pilots and officers of the Fifth Starfleet at that time didn't understand Huo Shuai's approach."

"They said that we, the Star Marines, would die if we died, and we wouldn't be counted in the battle loss rate anyway, so why would we try our best to save us?"

"On the contrary, even if one of those fighter pilots and officers is injured, it will be counted in the battle loss rate, which will affect Huo Shuai's performance appraisal as the commander-in-chief."

"And if we let all the remaining 200,000 marines die, maybe we can delay time and wait for reinforcements."

“…… But Huo Shuai refused, he refused to step on our bones to achieve himself, and he refused to let us die silently like cannon fodder. ”

Xia Chujian clenched his fists when he heard this, and asked nervously, "...... And then what? ”

Li Dali's face was full of bitterness: "Then Huo Shuai launched a counterattack and fought to the death, before the final battle, he transported our 200,000 starry sky marines who were not dead directly with the last cruiser, leaving only him and two adjutants." ”

"We know that he is determined to die for his country...... Unexpectedly, God blessed Huo Shuai, he not only turned defeat into victory in the end, but also escaped from death! ”

Sun Jiahao also said: "Later, everyone knew that that battle was obviously a big victory. Even if we only have the last three of us in the Fifth Starfleet, we will still wipe out almost all of the Starfleet in the Southern Cross Principality! ”

"But those people actually said that Huo Shuai didn't care about his own life and death for the sake of victory, and he wanted to send him to a military court!"

Xia Chujian was surprised and said, "Will these people count?!" Huo Shuai obviously used the battle damage of more than 5,000 people in exchange for the lives of 200,000 of you, and almost all of the Starfleet of the Southern Cross Principality! - How can this be called not caring about the life and death of one's own people?! It was he who didn't care about the lives of the nobles that annoyed those military high-ranking people, right? ”

The five captains glanced at each other.

Sun Jiahao hesitated and said, "Captain, do you think our lives are the same as those of those noble sergeants?" ”

"Of course it's the same!" Xia Chujian said without hesitation, "It's all raised by parents and parents, everyone only has one life, who is more noble than whom?" ”

The five captains looked at her and were speechless for a long time.

Xia Chujian was a little uneasy and said, "What's wrong?" Am I saying the wrong thing? - That, or do you think that the lives of those people are nobler than yours? ”

She tried to explain: "I know that everyone's status is different, and they are indeed nobler than us in terms of social status. ”

"But as far as life is concerned, I don't think there is anything high or low."

"Of course, if you think there is, then you are right, and I will not fight with you."

Xia Chujian is actually very intimidating, but in the face of these veterans who once fought for this empire with their lives, but they didn't even count the battle loss rate, she couldn't say a word of meanness.

Li Dali smiled, avoided this sensitive topic, and continued: "Later, the military department not only deprived us of our military merits, but also said that we were deserters who escaped from the battle, and we should be dealt with by military law. ”

"It's Huo Shuai, don't fight for the military merits of that battle, fight hard in front of His Majesty the Emperor, and save us. But the military top brass still added black material to our military files, and we are not considered deserters, but we have all been punished one by one, and we are not allowed to return to the Fifth Starfleet. ”

"At that time, many people couldn't stand it and directly discharged from the army. There are also a small number of us who are reluctant to leave the army. ”

"Later, under Huo Shuai's operation, we were transferred to the Fourth Starfleet. The commander-in-chief of the Fourth Starfleet took us over, regardless of the black material. Everyone has nothing else to ask for, just retire here. ”

At this time, another captain also said: "Everyone doesn't want to make a career anymore, just take a job, collect a day's money, and support their families." ”

"The Fourth Starfleet is a well-known old soldier, who wouldn't be lazy? Who rarely works for those high-level executives? ”

This is bluntly spoken directly before meeting at the beginning of the summer.

Of course, this is also the rhythm of completely giving up on oneself and breaking the jar.

I don't want to be promoted.

Otherwise, who would dare to publicly complain about their boss in the military?!

Only Li Dali played a round quite kindly, saying: "Actually, it's just talking about anger." I really didn't want to do it, so I was discharged. ”

The reason why he hasn't been discharged from the army yet, of course, is still waiting for the war.

Even if it is not counted in the battle loss rate, even if it is a critical moment, it will be directly used as a steady stream of cannon fodder by the coach, but they have not thought of leaving.

Xia Chujian understood a little.

The commander-in-chief of the Fourth Starfleet sent them to participate in this search and rescue operation, so that they would be punished?

Or do you want to give them more military merits and remove the black material from their military files?

Xia Chujian thought about it and said thoughtfully, "I think you did the right thing." But you don't want to fight anymore, so why do you want to stay in the army? ”

Li Dali seriously corrected her: "It's not that we don't want to fight, it's that we don't want to work hard for the high-level. These are two different things. ”

Xia Chu didn't seem to understand, but he still nodded: "That's good, this time you participate in this search and rescue activity, you should come to travel, don't bother fighting." I'll be in charge of all the search and rescue matters. ”

The five captains looked at each other.

Sun Jiahao hesitated and said, "Captain Xia, I heard that more than 100 fighters from the flight base on the other side of Kan Lixing have lost contact. You're ...... alone."

Xia Chujian said with a smile: "You also know that the fighter plane is missing, and it is not to fight." You don't even have fighters, you can only stay in the belly of the cruiser's cabin, why bother so much? It's better to think about how to use this time and eat something good. ”

What she thought was that if this group of people didn't mess with her, they would help her.

If the search and rescue is successful in the end, she will not be stingy.

Li Dali smiled and said, "Captain Xia, in fact, we Star Marines can also fight foreign enemies with remotely controlled weapons on the cruiser. It doesn't have to be a landing battle on a planet. ”

Xia Chu saw an "oh" and said with a smile: "That's okay, I remember." If I need you, I'll give the order. ”

After saying that, she looked at them again, her face sank, and said, "Since you are now my soldiers, I will also say ugly things ahead." ”

"I don't care if you were wronged before, or if you really deserted, it was all in the past. Now, you do your duty, and together you get the job done! ”

Of course, Xia Chujian didn't completely believe these people because of their words.

She knew that it didn't matter what these people said, what mattered was what they would do.

And the previous thing, anyway, was related to the Fifth Starfleet, she could ask Huo Yushen directly.

I'm not afraid that these people will fool her.

Xia Chujian stood up and said bluntly: "The meeting is dismissed." ”

The men stood together and saluted her, watching her leave the room with one of the guards.

After she left, the five captains left the conference room on the fourth floor one by one.

Their interest in this captain is really strong now, and they all want to find out what is so good about her.

……

Natsu Hatsumi learned all about the starcruiser and sat back in his captain's room.

She first sent a message to Huo Yushen, asking about the surviving Star Marines in this battle that year.

[See you for the first time in Xia]: Huo Shuai, what's going on with the 500 Star Marines? Did they all turn from the Fifth Starfleet?

Huo Yushen replied to her in a timely manner.

[Huo Yushen]: Yes, they are, what's wrong? Disobedient?

[See you at the beginning of summer]: ...... Of course not, so are they really not counted in the battle loss rate?

[Huo Yushen]: According to the regulations of the Imperial Military Department, yes, they are not counted in the battle loss rate.

[See you at the beginning of summer]: Anger. JPG。 How can this be?! They're human too! Our soldiers, too!

[Huo Yushen]: They are soldiers, but their deaths are not counted in the battle loss rate, don't you think it's right?

[See you at the beginning of summer]: Of course not! Oh, then their salaries, all kinds of materials and equipment, and pensions, no one embezzled them, right?

Huo Yushen looked at this reply and felt that it was the first time he had seen her, but he didn't feel that she was fascinated by money like before.

[Huo Yushen]: That's not true, it's just that they are not counted in the performance appraisal of the chief officer, that is, the battle loss rate. All other supplies were treated as regular soldiers.

[See you at the beginning of summer]: That's good, but it's not good enough! If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely ask the Imperial War Department to change this absurd rule!

[Huo Yushen]: Okay, I support you.

Xia Chujian looked at Huo Yushen's reply, and couldn't believe his eyes.

She also thought she had seen something wrong, and even wiped the virtual display with her hand.

No, that's right.

Huo Yushen, who has always treated her very well, and Inspector Huo, who has never had a long mouth, actually said that he "supported" her......

When Xia first saw Meizizi, he replied immediately.

[See you for the first time in summer]: Huo Shuai has a good eye! Huo Shuai can't change the rules, I'll change them!

This reply, or a reply to one's own top boss, is actually a bit arrogant and impolite.

She thought about it in her heart, and she was ashamed to say it.

Huo Yushen was really angry with her.

[Huo Yushen]: I'll wait and see. Second Lieutenant Xia will definitely be better than the blue.

Xia Chujian had never received this level of appreciation from Huo Yushen, but after being excited, he calmed down.

I always felt that something was wrong.

It's not meant to be ironic, right?

[See you at the beginning of summer]: ...... Huo Shuai, don't use metaphors, metaphors, irony and other rhetorical devices when speaking, which will cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

[See me at the beginning of summer]: I'm just an ordinary ordinary person, genes can't evolve, I was born in a commoner, I grew up in a poor family, and I can't even afford low-grade nutrient solutions. Now there are old people, young people below, and two dogs, and the burden is very heavy......

[See you at the beginning of summer]: I was dizzy just now, so I bragged about it......

Huo Yushen sneered, but he could bend and stretch.

[Huo Yushen]: ...... No, Second Lieutenant Xia, you didn't brag. Believe in yourself and you will be able to do it.

The corners of Xia Chujian's mouth twitched, and he snorted at Huo Yushen's reply.

Sure enough, it fooled her.

When she first saw that she was an ignorant girl in the summer, she would make her enthusiastic and work for him with a casual flicker?

The price was not discussed, and the task was assigned to her?

She won't be trapped.

Xia Chu saw that he didn't have any idol baggage and took back his words.

[See you at the beginning of Xia]: Huo Shuai, it was all a joke just now, don't take it seriously. I have great respect and reverence for you. Now let's talk about those Star Marines, I'm going to work after that, there's no need in the future, please don't disturb my work.

Huo Yushen: "......"

It was as if someone was crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

Huo Yushen tapped his fingers on the desk, and finally replied to her.

[Huo Yushen]: Those 500 starry sky marines, even if they are disheartened, will never stab them in the back, don't worry.

Xia Chuzhi was relieved.

That's all she wants.

Does she think that she is taking everyone to save people, not fighting?

As long as you don't hold her back, everything will be fine.

After ending the call with Huo Yushen and solving the internal problems, she had to think carefully about how to carry out the search and rescue operation.

Xia Chujian sat behind his desk, pulled out three large virtual displays, and connected to the mechanical intelligence that comes with the Star Cruiser.

"Please show the location of the last distress signal from the missing fighter."

After the first meeting of the summer, the mechanical intelligence of the Saker D1 displayed the previously summarized information on the virtual display.

Of course, these news came from the Kanlixing Flight Base.

When the trainees' fighter planes enter the asteroid field, if they want to exit, they will press a green button on the fighter.

Then the fighter will send a signal, which contains the coordinates of the fighter's position, waiting for the starship at the base to come and pick it up.

It used to be fine with that.

This time, something happened.

Not only did the star fighters of these cadets disappear, but even the ten interstellar airships that entered the asteroid belt to receive the fighters were also nowhere to be found.

Xia Chujian had no choice but to give instructions to the cruiser's mechanical intelligence, and not long after, a simulation of the asteroid belt appeared on the virtual display screen in front of her.

Then, there are more than 100 small red dots, which appear on the simulated star map one after another.

Then, the Star Cruiser's mechanical intelligence prompted that this was the last place where these cadets' fighters appeared, forty-eight hours ago.

This is the second update, a sudden big chapter, including a June monthly pass of 2400+.

Surprise not? What about monthly passes?

There is a new update after 05:00 in the evening.
