Chu Jungui was not surprised at all by the retreat of the federal fleet.
The Sawtooth Dinner Knife was in such a good position that as long as it sank slightly, it could hide in the storm clouds and avoid the high-energy beam fire of the Federation fleet. If the federal fleet dares to catch up to the surface of the storm clouds, then Chu Jungui will not mind eating one or two more frigates of his opponent. What's more, the federal fleet didn't know that Chu Jungui no longer had space torpedoes.
Chu Jungui knew that the next time he would not have such good luck, the Federation would definitely study targeted tactics and weapon systems, and even specially designed starships. Normally, the Federation would not design a starship specifically for a planet, even a planet with life. But Planet 4 is very special, and perhaps in the eyes of the Federation it is worth developing a brand new starship specifically for it.
But when the Federation fleet returns with countermeasures, a brand new starship will be waiting for them.
The federal fleet still has a fleet in high orbit, but it is only a warning fleet led by a light cruiser. Its purpose is only to monitor and alert rather than to guard and blockade. Chu Jungui has accomplished his goal of driving away the federal fleet and breaking the blockade on Planet No. 4.
On the way back, Chu Jungui evaluated and counted the battle achievements. This time, one destroyer and one frigate were destroyed, and one light cruiser was damaged. Based on the calculation of 4,000 destroyers and 1,000 frigates, plus 700 combat credits for damaging the light cruiser, the total earned this time is 5,700 combat credits. Among them, 1,000 of those who damaged the frigate belonged to Lin Xi, and the rest of the battles with space torpedoes belonged to Chu Jungui.
Li Ruobai immediately drew up a report and gave Chu Jungui 2,000 military exploits to make an exception and promote him to captain. However, he did not go through the formal channels. Instead, he asked the girl to submit it to the Tianyu Li family, and then Li Youran submitted the application on behalf of Chu Jungui.
This application spanned hundreds of light years in an instant, was delivered to the department of the joint command responsible for reviewing officer promotions, and appeared on the terminal of a major.
There were more than ten application reports on the major's terminal at the moment. He was holding a tea cup and looking at them leisurely. Most reports do not require clicking, just giving control commands through thoughts. When a new application opened, the major was suddenly startled. Then he put down his tea cup and looked at it carefully several times. Then he got up and left the office and quickly walked into the elevator.
Several halos of light descended, carrying the major up quickly to the upper level. On the designated floor, the major knocked on the door of the supervisor's office.
The office is small and the furnishings are simple. A colonel with a capable look sits behind his desk, with three virtual screens projected side by side in front of him. He handles three things at once and still seems to be doing it with ease.
The colonel looked up at the major and motioned to sit down. The major sat down and sent the application to the colonel.
The colonel opened the report without saying anything. He frowned and said, "Exceptional promotion to captain? Well, now is a war period, and there will be many such applications. You can apply through normal channels... Huh? The person who submitted the report was Li Youran, who Li Youran?"
"That's the one who is currently in charge of family affairs in the Tianyu Li family. I have already verified it."
The colonel's expression became serious. He read the application again, then looked up the information. After a moment, he said: "This person is not that simple. It was Li Youran who got him the rank of second lieutenant by himself. You are very sharp, very good, very good. I will add him to the special list and I will handle all future relevant applications directly."
"Yes." The major saluted and left the office.
After the major left, the colonel connected to an internal communication line, and an old general with graying hair appeared on the screen. The old general glanced at him, then lowered his head to read the transmitted application, then thought for a moment and said, "You can add it to the special list and be given the corresponding equipment permissions."
The colonel was a little surprised and said, "This seems a bit out of the norm."
The old general said: "These military exploits come from the N77 theater, and they can be made appropriate exceptions."
"N77? It's not easy to earn military merit there, so you should make an exception."
"Okay, I have no problem here. I will approve the application for promotion to captain first. As for the equipment permissions, I have to go to the review meeting tomorrow. But there should be no problem in passing." After the old general finished speaking, he cut off the communication.
The news that the promotion was approved was sent back to the war zone two days later, and was sent to Planet 4 through scheduled communications. Surprisingly, Lin Xi came with the news.
Her destroyer still looked tattered, even more scarred than when it left. It seems that Lin Xi has not been idle in the past few days, and has been traveling around. And it can be seen that the road to Planet 4 is not smooth, and some scars are still very new.
Lin Xi was also surprised when he saw the Jagged Table Knife. He didn't expect that this starship would be treated like this by Chu Jungui. After meeting, Chu Jungui asked: "How is it to use the Emperor's Body? Is it uncomfortable?"
Lin Xi said: "It's very easy to use! My command efficiency has improved exponentially than before. As for personal combat power, I think the high points and low points are the same. Anyway, as long as I can take care of Li Ruobai!"
Li Ruobai, who was next to him, shrank in fright and said hurriedly: "Business matters! Finishing the deal quickly is more important than anything else. Fighting and stuff like that are children's games. By the way, Jun Gui has prepared a gift for you!"
"A gift?" Lin Xi smiled faintly and said, "What do you like this time and do you want to take it away?"
"No, there is no need to dismantle it this time." Chu Jungui said. Just when the surrounding officers with pricked ears just breathed a sigh of relief, the test subject added: "Just give me ten space torpedoes."
Ten rounds of heavy space torpedoes is not a small number. A destroyer usually only has 50 rounds of ammunition. Now Lin Xi's starship has less than 50 rounds, only 30 rounds.
The officers glared at Chu Jungui. Even if they knew that Chu Jungui and Lin Xi had an unusual relationship, they could not suppress the anger in their hearts. This is too rude. He talks about giving gifts, but his hands keep stretching out. The main gun was removed last time, and this time it was replaced with a space torpedo. If that small boat couldn't hold more main guns, I'm afraid even the newly replaced main gun wouldn't be able to escape the poisonous hands.
Lin Xi looked at Chu Jungui, suddenly smiled and said, "10 rounds are too few, I have 30 rounds here, take them all!"
All the officers dared to be angry but dared not say anything. They stared at Chu Jungui, wanting to see if he was really so thick-skinned and had the nerve to agree.
Chu Jungui thought for a while and finally shook his head. However, just when the officers felt that this person was not yet shameless, Chu Jungui said again: "I only need 27 rounds, and I will leave 3 for you to defend yourself."
