"Crew member Chu Xuan, reporting to the commander." Chu Xuan, now dressed in the standard uniform of the Xiaolong Legion, stood ramrod straight in front of Zhao Chen.
Wearing a black, bodycon military-style top, black stockings, and leather boots, she looked dashing and heroic.
The uniform also features the emblem of the JF-17 Legion on the chest.
This uniform is one of the current uniforms used by the JF-17 Thunder Legion.
As the JF-17 Legion grows stronger, many regulations are also being continuously improved.
For example, regarding military uniforms, the JF-17 Thunder Legion has no fewer than dozens of sets of uniforms to date.
Different colored military uniforms are provided depending on the job position.
Ordinary crew members are mainly dressed in white, department heads are mainly dressed in blue, and some command staff on the bridge are mainly dressed in black with gold trim.
In addition, starfighter pilots, mech pilots, hangar crew, and others also have their own standard military uniforms.
Moreover, each branch of the military has at least three uniform designs with the same style.
For example, there are bodycon skirts with stockings, short skirts with over-the-knee socks, and also trousers.
It can meet the needs of the crew and also make it easy to distinguish the crew members of different departments and branches of service.
Chu Xuan herself has a beautiful figure, and whether it's the uniform of the Chu Family Legion in the past or the uniform of the Xiaolong Legion now, it looks great on her.
Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, Zhao Chen felt as if a sly old man was chuckling in the shadows behind him.
"Your grandfather was the same. You were doing so well in the Chu Family Legion, but he insisted on sending you to the Xiaolong Legion." Zhao Chen said, both amused and exasperated.
When Chu Changhe first brought it up, Zhao Chen actually refused.
Because of Chu Xuan's abilities, she learned from Zhao Chen?
Stop joking. Do you expect me to learn from Zhao Chen how to be a hands-off manager?
"What? You look down on me?" Chu Xuan retorted.
"Cough cough cough... What are you talking about? You were originally the deputy commander-in-chief of the Chu family army."
"What can you do in my shabby little place?" Zhao Chen shrugged.
Chu Xuan squinted at Zhao Chen, who was sitting in the captain's chair: "A small, run-down place? A small, run-down place has hundreds of T4 interstellar warships. A small, run-down place can defeat the Holy Angel Legion?"
This tiny place can produce thousands of interstellar warships per month, enough to supply two major star systems?
How can such a small, run-down place generate more than 50 billion Star Coins per month?
How could a small, dilapidated place destroy tens of thousands of enemy interstellar warships with only a few thousand interstellar warships in the first civil war of Star Glory?
"Alright, since this is a small, run-down place, I'll talk to my grandfather. You'll come to my Chu Family Legion as the deputy commander-in-chief, and I'll give you my position as your deputy. How about that?"
Zhao Chen was dumbfounded. How come Chu Xuan, this little brat, is becoming more and more eloquent? Now she's even trying to steal his man?
"Ahem, let's get down to business. What position do you want to hold here?" Seeing that his 'persuasion' had failed, Zhao Chen didn't say anything more. In any case, the eldest daughter of the Chu family would naturally go back once she got tired of playing here.
As for concerns about Chu Xuan stealing secrets or similar matters.
Currently, aside from the few T4 interstellar warships still under construction, Zhao Chen's own system, and the things he's been doing in the Warhammer United States, there are basically no other secrets between him and the Chu family.
These things aren't actually off-limits to being talked about.
Furthermore, regarding the technology of interstellar warships, only Zhao Chen possesses a complete set of starship technology blueprints. Within the entire Xiaolong Legion, no more than three people have the authority to view them.
Chu Xuan was even less likely to see it; if she just wandered around inside the interstellar warship aimlessly, it would take her many years to fully understand its technology.
Chu Xuan herself is quite talented, and her time spent training in the Chu family army has not been in vain.
Since I'm currently short-handed, Chu Xuan might actually be able to help me with a lot of things.
"I can be your secretary," Chu Xuan said confidently, puffing out her chest.
Lilith, who was working nearby, was stunned, her face showing an innocent yet bewildered expression.
Is this woman trying to steal my job?
...
Following the Zerg attack, Zhao Chen and his four-party alliance held their first video conference.
The four parties mainly consist of: Chu Changhe, Governor Zhu Kai of the North Wind, Princess Qin Xiaolei, Zhao Ruyue, Zhao Chen, Lilith, and Chu Xuan.
Looking at Chu Xuan standing behind Zhao Chen in the video window, Chu Changhe revealed an expression that said, "Everything is under my control."
Chu Xuan is indeed currently serving as Zhao Chen's secretary, but that doesn't mean Zhao Chen doesn't want Lilith anymore.
Lilith's position is irreplaceable, but that doesn't stop Zhao Chen from having a few more secretaries.
As the Xiaolong Legion grew, Lilith's workload increased, and Zhao Chen had long had the idea of establishing a new department.
Let's take this opportunity to finalize it.
The Commander's Personal Secretariat.
Lilith serves as the Supreme Secretary, and all the secretaries of the legion fleets are included in this position. In addition, Lilith can also train future secretaries she deems suitable here.
This can also help share her workload.
To date, the secretariat has nearly 100 employees, and this is only the first batch; the number will increase in the future.
Chu Xuan's current role is to assist Lilith in her work.
During this meeting, Zhao Chen's central ideas served as the strategic guideline, and future plans were finalized.
The first step was to temporarily halt the offensive against the Imperial Capital Star, while each legion and fleet group held their own lines of defense and established a local battlefield in the Azure Starfield.
The objective of this localized battle was not to completely occupy the area, but rather to "besiege the stronghold and attack reinforcements," in order to lure Qin Xiaotian into revealing more of his trump cards and deploying them into the Azure Starfield.
The Azure Starfield was Zhao Chen's stepping stone into the deep well, a test of his abilities.
In addition, Zhao Chen had another plan: the Xiaolong Legion would find an opportunity to open up a second front.
Only in this way can we force Qin Xiaotian to reveal his true colors.
There is one more thing to do.
Before Qin Ming died, Zhao Chen and the others thought they could finish the war quickly and completely ignore the possibility of the Holy Radiant Empire providing assistance.
But now this civil war has been dragged into a new quagmire.
Zhao Chen must find a way to sever any possible private connections between the Holy Glory Empire and Qin Xiaotian.
However, the specific plan will be formulated by the Xiaolong Legion, since the others have not even settled their own affairs and have no spare capacity to open up new battlefields.
This is something only Zhao Chen can do.
"That's right. If you have any interstellar procurement plans in the future, you can contact me directly. I can instruct the Beiyan Group to supply you with the most favorable prices."
"It's okay if we don't have the funds on hand; we can use other methods to pay." Zhao Chen couldn't resist making a business deal at the end.
After all, nothing is more important than making money.
