Chen Er talked mysteriously and vaguely for a long time, and Chu Jungui finally understood what was going on: the upper echelons of the dynasty were going to be purged.
This purge mainly targets some people who held high positions in the past but were incompetent. It cannot be said that these people are completely incompetent, but their abilities are mainly in internal fighting, and they are not very good in external warfare and management. In addition, if they stay in high positions for a long time, problems of this kind will arise. During peacetime, they were able to suppress it, but during wartime, a group of new young generals became dissatisfied. These people who fight desperately on the front line every day have long disregarded life and death and do things without any scruples. A major incident in the early stage was that a newly promoted lieutenant general was made difficult by the quartermaster on the front line, and the fuel and ammunition he deserved were withheld. As a result, a must-win battle turned into a bitter battle, and he won with great difficulty after paying heavy casualties.
After the lieutenant general returned with his troops, he directly occupied the theater headquarters, then captured the quartermaster and threw him directly into space. This incident caused an uproar, mainly because the quartermaster was actually a relative of an elder in the upper echelons of the dynasty. After the incident, the elder was extremely angry and issued several messages demanding severe punishment. The punishment decision triggered a strong backlash from grassroots officers and soldiers in the war zone. After the general was arrested and imprisoned, many fleets even showed signs of mutiny.
At this time, the commander-in-chief of the theater fleet, whose attitude was originally somewhat ambiguous, finally made his attitude clear and completely stood by the vice-admiral's side. Turbulence also occurred in other star war zones. The pent-up dissatisfaction of many grassroots fighters exploded, and violent incidents surged. Forced by the situation, senior military officials expressed their stance one after another and began to put pressure on the government. This incident became a trigger, prompting the upper echelons of the dynasty to conduct a comprehensive introspection and begin a comprehensive liquidation of the old forces. In a sense, Chen Er and Chu Jungui's fight against Su Jian is also part of this process.
Now that the struggle at the top has come to an end, the principle of handling is that ability comes first, those who are capable but not so clean will be reused, and those who are incompetent and not clean will be thoroughly cleaned. It is worth noting that this time, people who are incompetent but very clean will also be cleaned. In Chen Er's words, now is the time to win the war, not the time for them to demonstrate their moral character. Besides, what’s the use of having only moral character?
It seems that at the moment of life and death, the dynasty has finally woken up.
After Chu Jungui digested it, Chen Er finally said: "When the war is over, can you leave me a position in Light Years? The salary is higher and I am not tired."
"You have such a promising future, why do you want to come to me?"
Chen Er smiled bitterly: "What a promising future, what I am doing now is to offend others. It is a war now, no one dares to make trouble with the fleet. What happens when the war is over? You know I am not that clean, and I might be punished by then. Reckoning.”
"Even if you are not very clean, there is no doubt that you have made a huge contribution to the dynasty. If the dynasty were all like Su Jian and Xu Yan, I would have left long ago."
"Contribution is contribution, uncleanness is unclean, these are two different things. Now in order to win, we can make some changes, but after the war, we can't do this." Chen Er was very sober.
Chu Jungui nodded and said, "No problem, I will always have a place for you here."
Chen Er seemed more relaxed, with a smile on his face again, and then said: "I need some funds now, informally."
"no problem."
Chen Er still explained: "The money is used to smoothen the relationship. I plan to transfer some of the equipment on the Class I license to you. This matter is not easy to handle and requires some unconventional methods."
"This..." Chu Jungui couldn't object. After all, the equipment on the Class I license could significantly improve the combat power of the starship. He didn't have the confidence to refuse.
"Don't think too much. I am purely considering this from the perspective of maximizing the recent combat power. These devices can be turned into starships the fastest, and they should be in the hands of whoever has them. Now is not the time to talk about fairness."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away. What currency do you want?"
"Of course it's Chaoyuan."
Chu Jungui was a little surprised: "I thought you would want some federal coins or community dollars."
Chen Er shook his head: "No. We have already reported all our personal overseas accounts, and we don't plan to ask for any money in them. The federation and the community should not use this to threaten us. Those of us who are still in our positions now People will never surrender, so asking for foreign currency is useless. Of course, when the war is won, there may be a need."
Chu Jungui sighed and said, "With people like you in the dynasty, I don't know whether it is good or bad."
Chen Er rolled his eyes at Chu Jungui and said, "Of course it's a good thing! We've done all the hard work. When things get easier in the future, you can kick us away without taking up your seat. How great for us!"
"That's true!" Chu Jungui laughed.
Chen Er snorted and said, "First, tell me what you plan to do next?"
Chu Jungui said: "Suppress those two galaxies first, and then go around the community until the community withdraws the fleet."
Chen Er thought for a while and asked again: "Do you have any ideas on how to end the war?"
"As long as the loss is not too great, I think we can negotiate a truce."
Chen Er nodded and sighed: "The above thought so too. It's a pity. It would be great if Xu Shuai was still here."
"You still miss him?"
"Of course! After all, I am a great power chauvinist."
Communication was cut off, and Chu Jungui began to make arrangements for the attack. This time, when going to two galaxies to suppress the rebellion, we couldn't use the prisoners of war just captured from the community, we could only use the old people from light years away. Hundreds of thousands of light-year veterans originally seemed like a lot, but in a total war, they were pitifully few. They were not enough to defend one galaxy, let alone two. Moreover, the dynasty clearly intends to throw more troublesome galaxies to itself.
The dispatch of human troops is much more troublesome. After Chu Jungui gave the order, he still had to mobilize, assemble, prepare war preparations and living supplies, and also consider pensions and placement of the sick and wounded. These people have all been with Chu Jungui for a long time, and some of them were captured by Guangnian at the earliest. They cannot be treated badly either due to emotion or reason. In comparison, the community prisoner-of-war troops are much less troublesome. They do not need wages and do not pay attention to treatment. Anyway, all kinds of treatment are better than the prison space station.
However, there are still a large number of residents in the two galaxies, all of whom are legal citizens of the dynasty. Therefore, we cannot use the Mist Clan's sub-body army to attack them. When Chu Jun returned to his original position and hesitated whether to use prisoners of war as the theme of the landing force, the Ministry of Defense of the dynasty sent a series of documents to officially confirm the transfer of galaxy sovereignty. It is sovereignty rather than stewardship.
Chu Jungui sighed, crossed out most of the planned prisoner-of-war troops, and changed them to mainly light-year regular troops. With these two galaxies in hand, they will be the core of Lightyear's personnel placement in the future. We cannot be careless. After all, planets 4 and 5 are not suitable for habitation and cannot be colonized on a large scale.
