Lü Luyu pouted, disgruntled, and said, "First Lieutenant Xia's words make it sound like you've already won!"
Xia Chujian applauded her, "Second Lieutenant Lü is so clever! Be my mouthpiece from now on!"
Lü Luyu: "..."
She wanted to say more, but Chu Qingchen glanced at her, and she immediately looked away, no longer arguing with Xia Chujian.
Xia Chujian noticed this, and while remaining vigilant, she pondered in her heart.
Was this Falcon-Class D1 Starry Sky Cruiser the same one she took to the Asteroid Belt to rescue these students and instructors?
After Xia Chujian and Chu Qingchen settled on their warship, the remaining two teams didn't argue either. One team took D235, and the other took D337.
Lin Xiaoxiao was on the D235 Cruiser.
Her grades were originally the best among the five, so she naturally became the captain.
Pei Zijing then said, "Starry Sky Cruisers are different from Starry Sky Fighters. You don't need to know how to pilot them."
"Because each Cruiser is already equipped with a piloting team."
"What you need to do is cooperate with the piloting team. Do not interfere with their work."
"However, once you arrive at Senze Star, how to catch the Longevity Flying Fish, and if necessary, how to fight, is up to you to decide."
Xia Chujian thought to herself that how her Starry Sky Cruiser was piloted was also up to her.
She wondered if the Beichen Empire's Star Network could cover the area they were going to this time.
It would be great if it couldn't...
Then she could bring out Seven Lù to "do as she pleased".
But if it could, then she would have to let Seven Lù "bide its time" and come out to help at crucial moments.
It would have to hide usually.
She knew how many surveillance devices were on this Starry Sky Cruiser.
With these thoughts in mind, Xia Chujian and her three roommates, along with Chen Yansheng, carried their backpacks and gun cases, and each boarded a Thunder-Class Starry Sky Fighter.
The Interstellar Airship could carry twenty Starry Sky Fighters at a time, just enough for one per person.
An hour later, they flew into the hold of the Starry Sky Cruiser, which resembled a small town.
Xia Chujian narrowed her eyes as soon as she saw this place.
It really was the Falcon-Class D1 Starry Sky Cruiser that had been to the Asteroid Belt! And were those five hundred Starry Sky Marines from the Fourth Interstellar Fleet also them? Xia Chujian got out of the Starry Sky Fighter with some excitement.
As soon as the five of them walked out of the Warplane warehouse in the lower hold, they saw five thousand Starry Sky Marines standing densely packed in the hall outside.
Standing at the front were indeed the five people Xia Chujian was most familiar with!
Sun Jiahao, Wang Hu, Li Dali, Wu Shanfeng, and Yang Jianchang...
The five Team Captains of the five hundred Starry Sky Marines from the Fourth Interstellar Fleet.
Before, they were all Second Lieutenants.
But now, they were all First Lieutenants, just like Xia Chujian.
Xia Chujian smiled, her eyes crinkling, and waved.
Sun Jiahao excitedly raised his hand in a salute and said loudly, "Attention, everyone! Salute!"
Five thousand people raised their arms in unison, giving Xia Chujian and the others a military salute.
Xia Chujian slowly raised her hand, returned the salute, and said, "Hello, I am First Lieutenant Xia Chujian. I am the Captain for this Special Military Operation."
Sun Jiahao and the other four grinned.
They said in unison, "Hello, Captain Xia!"
Xia Chujian waved her hand and said, "Hello, everyone!"
Because of her previous experience, she quickly got into the zone and said, "Five hundred of you five thousand Starry Sky Marines have already learned how to pilot Mecha."
"I now require these five hundred people to help the remaining four thousand five hundred people immediately practice piloting Mecha."
"I want at least half of the Starry Sky Marines to become Mecha Warriors before we reach our destination."
"Can you do it?"
Sun Jiahao and his five hundred Starry Sky Marines shouted in unison, "Yes!"
But the four thousand five hundred Starry Sky Marines from the Fifth Interstellar Fleet stared wide-eyed in disbelief, speechless, unable to say a word.
Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan, and Sang Yadi were not clear on the details of Xia Chujian's previous fight against the Star Pirates.
Therefore, they didn't know that she had already had the Fourth Interstellar Fleet's Starry Sky Marines learn how to use Mecha.
And become proficient in four hours.
So they were also surprised, afraid that Xia Chujian was making a mistake.
Mao Yonggui anxiously walked over, leaned close to Xia Chujian, and whispered in her ear, "Chujian, Starry Sky Marines are not allowed to touch Mecha... Doesn't your Fourth Interstellar Fleet have this rule?"
Xia Chujian thought, how could we not?
But she broke this unwritten rule.
Besides, she was the Captain, so of course, she had the final say.
Xia Chujian smiled and said to Lieutenant Mao, "Lieutenant Mao, this is my Cruiser now, and I have the final say."
She no longer called Mao Yonggui "Sister Mao".
Because from now on, they were carrying out a Special Military Operation, and they couldn't call each other 'sister' like they did in the dormitory.
Mao Yonggui also understood Xia Chujian's meaning, her heart filled with awe, and she secretly warned herself not to take advantage of her familiarity with Xia Chujian to offend her authority as Captain.
This was indeed a major taboo in the military.
She took a step back, planning to find a chance to talk to Xia Chujian privately after settling down.
Starry Sky Marines not being allowed to touch Mecha was also an unwritten rule in the military.
If Xia Chujian violated it, it would give her superiors the impression of being a "thorn in their side," which probably wouldn't be good for her future in the military.
Xia Chujian withdrew her gaze and looked at Sun Jiahao, saying, "Captain Sun, you're in charge."
"I'll go up and check the weapon inventory, and then give you the authority. You can train the men. Just like before."
When she said this, others thought it was the same as their previous training in the Fourth Interstellar Fleet.
Only Xia Chujian and the five hundred Starry Sky Marines from the Fourth Interstellar Fleet knew that she was talking about the time a few days ago when she took them to the Asteroid Belt for search and rescue.
Sun Jiahao immediately saluted and said, "Yes, Captain! I will definitely complete the mission!"
Xia Chujian smiled and nodded, striding towards the elevator.
She also wanted to see who the Navigator and Warship Pilot were.
The two Navigators and four Warship Pilots who disobeyed her orders last time had all been reported by her.
She heard that they had been discharged from the Fourth Interstellar Fleet by Commander Ye Chenfeng.
If that's true, this time it should be new people, right? Xia Chujian pondered, taking the elevator directly to the third floor.
The third floor was the Command Layer.
Under normal circumstances, Warship Pilots, Navigators, combat commanders of all levels, senior officers, and Starry Sky Fighter pilots were all on this floor.
It could be said to be the place where the elite were.
However, last time it was a Special Military Operation, and the third floor only had her, the Captain, the eight Warship Pilots, and the two Navigators.
There were no other commanders, senior officers, or Starry Sky Fighter pilots.
But this time, at least she had four Starry Sky Fighter pilots.
Xia Chujian arrived at the familiar Captain's office and saw that the Sergeants standing guard at the door were actually the same two as last time.
As soon as they saw Xia Chujian, they smiled and saluted, saying, "Welcome back, Captain!"
Xia Chujian smiled and nodded, saying, "Were you assigned here, or did you come with the Cruiser?"
The two said, "We were originally assigned here, but now we're going with this Cruiser."
Xia Chujian pushed open the door of the Captain's office and walked in.
Mao Yonggui and the other two looked at each other, wondering if they should follow her in or wait outside the door.
Chen Yansheng poked his head into the Captain's office and tentatively asked, "Captain Xia, what are our arrangements?"
Xia Chujian put the gun case she was carrying on the long desk in the Captain's office, and while unbuckling her backpack, she turned her head and said, "Come in, I'll sort out the Navigator and Warship Pilots first, then arrange you guys."
"You guys just sit here and give me some courage."
She even winked at them.
Mao Yonggui, Chen Yansheng, and the others laughed.
The four of them, with their backpacks on, walked into Xia Chujian's Captain's office.
Xia Chujian said, "Sit wherever you like, there's a refrigerator over there, with food and drinks, don't be polite, help yourselves."
Then she clicked on the main console in front of the desk to look at the list of Navigators and Warship Pilots.
Sure enough, she saw four familiar Warship Pilot names on it, including Gu Zhongjin.
Then there were two Navigators she didn't know, and four new Warship Pilots.
Whatever happened to the previous six, they were no longer on her Warship.
Xia Chujian became happy and directly spoke into the intercom in the Captain's office.
"I am Xia Chujian, Captain of the Falcon-Class D1 Cruiser. Please have the Navigators and Warship Pilots come to the Captain's office for a meeting."
In less than three minutes, two Navigators and eight Warship Pilots stood neatly in the Captain's office.
Gu Zhongjin happily raised his hand in a salute and said, "Fourth Interstellar Fleet, Falcon-Class D1 Starry Sky Cruiser, Warship Pilot Major and Captain Gu Zhongjin, reporting to Captain Xia!"
Xia Chujian raised her eyebrows: "Oh, you're a Captain now? Managing all the Warship Pilots?"
Gu Zhongjin said loudly, "Reporting to the Captain: Yes! Including Warship Pilots, Navigators, Radar Operators, and Communications Technicians! A total of twenty people!"
His attitude was respectful, his response standard, completely the attitude of a subordinate to a superior.
Mao Yonggui and the other two marveled at the sight, and became even more vigilant.
Chen Yansheng smiled, feeling that it should be so.
The big shot he wanted to follow was so handsome!
Xia Chujian was still very relieved about Gu Zhongjin. Now that she knew he was the Captain of these people, she believed that if anyone disobeyed orders, he could deal with them directly, without her having to worry about it.
She smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'm relieved about Captain Gu, I'll leave the piloting of this Starry Sky Cruiser to you."
Then she asked him: "Do you know the coordinates of the destination and the interstellar route? Did the base send it to you?"
Gu Zhongjin said: "The address has been received. The Senze Star's star field is relatively far away. It will take a month to reach it by directly using the Starry Sky Cruiser for long-distance travel."
"This time, we will pass through three Wormholes and carry out three transmissions, which will take a total of twelve hours."
Xia Chujian felt that it was just right to give those Starry Sky Marines some time to train with the Mecha, and was very satisfied in her heart, nodding and saying, "Then I'll have to trouble Captain Gu."
