Chapter 234: Just Staying Alive
This post-war summary meeting undoubtedly identified many shortcomings of the Azure Phoenix Legion, including Chief Commander Liu Shengzhan and other commanders and combat personnel, during the previous interception battle.
Fan Ren listened to the supplements from the Space Force members one by one, with no frustrated expression on his face.
Learn from the past to guide the future.
Human Civilization, Great Xia’s first proactive attack against an alien civilization. Regardless of battle damage, the outcome is victory!
This point cannot be changed.
So they do not need to be discouraged. On the contrary, Fan Ren felt that these commanders and soldiers of the Azure Phoenix Legion performed very well.
Finally, Liu Shengzhan stood up.
He first saluted the people present.
Then he said in a deep voice: “In this operation, I was the chief commander. I bear the main responsibility for our comrades who sacrificed due to command errors and for the spaceships.
Here, I apologize to everyone.
However!
This does not mean I will back down.
Li Jian!
“Present!”
Hearing this, Li Jian immediately stood up and looked at Liu Shengzhan.
“From now on, all personnel arrangements, garrison training work, and development direction of the Azure Phoenix Legion will be fully handled by you as the legion commander.”
“Yes!”
Li Jian saluted and then sat down.
This was the expected outcome after Liu Shengzhan led this interception battle.
He knew that Liu Shengzhan had not finished speaking.
Sure enough, Liu Shengzhan paused slightly and then continued: “The Space Force Department has decided to re-establish a Black Tortoise Brigade to garrison at the Jupiter-Mars Hub in the Solar System, taking over your unit’s defense mission.”
At this point, he glanced at Fan Ren, and upon seeing the other’s determined gaze, he said solemnly:
“Your unit, the Qingluan Brigade, will use the identity of the Fox Pirate Group for a period in the future.
After the Black Tortoise Legion is fully established, your unit will act as a pirate fleet and conduct realistic exercises against the Solar System, including small fleet harassment and large fleet assaults.
Your existence is very important to the Solar System. As Great Xia’s most capable legion to date, I hope you can take on the role of ‘Blue Team’ worthy of your battle record, to train other legions of Great Xia.”
After he finished speaking, the people in the meeting room immediately showed extremely excited expressions one by one.
Blue Team!
This was an exercise opponent that made the heads of most units change color during the land era.
Now, they will stand in the Space Force with this identity.
This is undoubtedly a great honor!
Liu Shengzhan was not done yet.
He slapped the table heavily, scanned the Azure Phoenix Legion soldiers present, and said through gritted teeth:
“I will serve as the chief commander of the Black Tortoise and Azure Dragon Legions in the Solar System as your attack targets.
Don’t let me or Chief Fan Ren down.
“Guarantee to complete the order!”
At this moment, the meeting room boiled over.
Fan Ren smiled as he looked at these Azure Phoenix soldiers who were suddenly full of energy and passion, feeling a surge of pride in his heart.
This is the legacy Elder Ye left him, the most precious wealth!
Conqueror detention room.
The Hans Civilization expedition fleet commander with a square head was dejectedly staring blankly at the reflective floor.
Fan Ren entered with Fox and the inconspicuous Dan Wu following beside him.
“Lift your head and state your identity and name!”
Without any psychological struggle, Fan Ren sat down first and spoke directly.
His language had been translated by A’dai through Fox into the Galactic Alliance common language. As a civilization capable of purchasing weapons and equipment from the Starfield Market, this commander surely understood it.
“My name is Mai Er. I am the commander of this expedition fleet. Within our civilization, I am the third-in-command of the army.”
The other party obediently raised his head and answered directly.
After hearing this, Fan Ren gave a meaningful glance at Fox beside him.
This scene was exactly the same as when they captured Fox back then.
Are all alien civilizations like this? Do they spill everything like beans from a bamboo tube after being captured?
Fox lowered his head, perhaps guessing the thoughts of the terrifying human in front of him.
Shouldn’t they?
He had lived for several hundred years and did not want to die so easily.
Fan Ren turned his head, pondered for a moment, and then said: “State the purpose of your trip to that galaxy this time.”
As his words fell, Mai Er in front of him looked slightly puzzled.
But he immediately said: “Our fleet is a standard expedition fleet. Obviously, our purpose this time is to go to that backward galaxy and colonize them.
Let me explain in detail here.
Through queries in the Galactic Alliance, we learned that the civilization in this galaxy has not yet registered in the Galactic Alliance.
And it happens that our civilization is currently facing a development bottleneck and urgently needs a large population to fill the needs for development.
As you know, this universe is not peaceful. Everyone needs to constantly strengthen themselves.
When facing such a ‘no man’s land’ with a population-bearing civilization, it is not surprising for our Hans Civilization to react this way.
Everyone does this; we just got ahead.
Unfortunately.”
At this point, Mai Er’s eyes turned gray.
Fan Ren found these eyeballs, whose color changes represent emotions, very interesting.
But now was obviously not the time to study them.
“Introduce your civilization,” he said.
Hearing this, Mai Er raised his head, and the color of his eyeballs turned white.
This was the color representing doubt.
“Pardon my rudeness, of course you can ignore me. May I ask if you are a nearby pirate organization?”
After he finished his puzzled words, Fan Ren’s mouth curved slightly at the corner. He did not answer directly but said: “Why do you ask that?”
Mai Er said: “I am very sorry, I think I know the answer.”
After saying this, he did not continue to play coy but directly said: “Here’s the thing: In the 10 light year range around Alpha Centauri, our Hans Civilization ranks third in strength.
As far as I know, there is only one pirate group with extremely limited strength called ‘Fox’, which is Mr. Fox beside you, right?”
He looked at Fox, who nodded slightly without speaking.
Seeing this, Mai Er continued: “We know Mr. Fox’s strength very well. They are a group of backward pirate organization, but because they possess a dreadnought flagship inherited from ancient times, it is somewhat difficult for us to completely take them down.
So this is also why the Fox Pirate Group has survived here until now.
Of course, this is also because they have not attacked civilizations like us.
However, what I want to say is that the Fox Pirate Group does not have the strength to intercept our expedition fleet.
Since that’s the case, you must be a pirate organization that migrated from another star domain.
Sorry, sir, I do not discriminate against pirate organizations.”
At the end, Mai Er’s attitude even became somewhat flattering.
