Kang Shanxing was secretly hoping that Xia Chujian would also develop that kind of unshakable admiration for Huo Yushen, so he wouldn't have to worry about her being snatched away by other departments...
Unexpectedly, Xia Chujian didn't quite take the bait. She nodded and said in a serious tone, "I hope Marshal Huo won't let down your admiration for him, or my trust in him."
Kang Shanxing was speechless.
This girl is immune to my psychological suggestion!
Kang Shanxing said awkwardly, "You do have a lot of trouble here. I now understand why Marshal Huo insisted that I personally come to meet you."
The subtext was, You're quite difficult to deal with. I now understand why Marshal Huo wanted Meng Guanghui to be your direct superior.
Because the rough-around-the-edges Meng Guanghui was completely unaware that Xia Chujian was neither teachable nor leadable!
Xia Chujian's lips twitched. "Colonel Kang, even if you don't understand, you still execute Marshal Huo's orders?"
"Of course, I'm a soldier. For orders from superiors, if I understand, I must execute them, and if I don't understand, I must also execute them."
Kang Shanxing said with a smile, then looked at the time. "I'll be there soon. Open the hold, and I'll bring people over in a small Flying Vehicle."
Xia Chujian breathed a long sigh of relief. "Please hurry! I really can't hold on any longer!"
Kang Shanxing ended the video call.
Xia Chujian also prepared to open the Fifth Floor Hold door to let the Special Security Bureau's small Flying Vehicle in.
Kang Shanxing acted very quickly.
A minute later, five small Flying Vehicles arrived at the opened door of the Fifth Floor Hold of Xia Chujian's Starry Sky Cruiser.
Xia Chujian went to greet them.
Kang Shanxing was the first to step out of the Flying Vehicle.
He was wearing the Special Security Bureau's uniform and a pair of black-rimmed crystal glasses, looking particularly refined and courteous.
Xia Chujian looked at him and said with a smile, "Colonel Kang, why are you wearing glasses? What a pity..."
Such a beautiful pair of eyes, covered by these black-rimmed crystal glasses.
Kang Shanxing thought, If it weren't for your indiscreet remark that my eyes were quite beautiful, which made me a laughingstock in the bureau, who would bother wearing these non-prescription glasses! But on the surface, he smiled gently and elegantly, pretending not to hear Xia Chujian's words, and directly turned around to issue orders to his people.
A total of twenty-five people came down from the five small Flying Vehicles, including Kang Shanxing.
He said to the twenty-four people, "You twenty, divide into ten groups of two, and each group will pilot a Interstellar Airship. Remember to load all the Starry Sky Fighters into the Interstellar Airships and take them away."
One Interstellar Airship could hold twenty Starry Sky Fighters.
There were one hundred and ninety-one base Starry Sky Fighters here, and ten Interstellar Airships were just enough to load them all.
Then he said to the remaining four people, "You follow Captain Xia to the Starship in the back, control the xuan shi, and follow behind the Bat-style Fighter Jet."
Then he looked at Xia Chujian again and said, "This Starry Sky Cruiser belongs to the Fourth Interstellar Fleet. Are its original pilots available?"
Xia Chujian said, "Four are available, and they are currently piloting the Cruiser."
She was referring to the four pilots led by Gu Zhongjin.
Kang Shanxing nodded. "Then we'll send people to give them a Lie Detector test first, to check their safety and health."
Xia Chujian then saw Kang Shanxing instructing the four people who were going to Starship Number Eighteen to take the Lie Detector and testing equipment to the xuan shi on the third floor.
The remaining twenty people, wearing fully enclosed protective suits with their own oxygen, entered the Warplane Warehouse, which Xia Chujian had sealed and filled with inert gas.
The people there had all been forced into hibernation by her.
These people were clearly prepared in advance, so they were not affected by the inert gas after entering.
They quickly boarded the ten base Interstellar Airships and began to operate them.
There was no need to send pilots up to the Starry Sky Fighters, because within a small range, the Warplanes' autopilot function could be used.
It was just a matter of letting these Starry Sky Fighters automatically drive into the Hold of the base Interstellar Airships, which was not a complicated operation.
When the four Special Security Bureau staff members who had gone to the third floor xuan shi for the Lie Detector test returned, all one hundred and ninety-one base Warplanes in the entire Fifth Floor Warplane Warehouse had flown into the Holds of the ten Airships.
Then, the Special Security Bureau personnel piloted the Airships out of the Hold of the Starry Sky Cruiser and into the Hold of the Bat-style Fighter Jet in front.
The Hold there was even higher and larger, so large that it could even fit the entire Starry Sky Cruiser.
Of course, the Starry Sky Cruiser belonging to the Fourth Interstellar Fleet could not be taken away by people from the Special Security Bureau.
Because the Military did not want to see the Special Security Bureau meddling in the Interstellar Fleet, the people from the Special Security Bureau would not openly commit such a taboo.
But the Starship number eighteen behind it did not have such concerns.
Kang Shanxing and Xia Chujian, together with the four staff members, took a small Flying Vehicle and entered that Starship.
This time, Xia Chujian explained the situation to Kang Shanxing before going, allowing her to appear in Mecha armor when the time came, without having to interact with these women with her real face.
Then Kang Shanxing and the others also took out Face Masks and put them on one by one.
Xia Chujian: "..."
If I had known, I would have asked them for a Face Mask too, it's more convenient than wearing a three-meter-tall Mecha.
But it was too late to say anything at this point.
The group arrived on the Starship, and Xia Chujian first found a room to switch to her Mecha.
Then she reunited with Kang Shanxing and the others and came to the second floor of the Starship.
She still used that gentle electronic synthesized female alto voice and said, "Ms. Chang, these are the staff members from the Special Security Bureau, they will help temporarily settle you down."
"Don't worry, they will absolutely not leak any secrets. Their daily work is to maintain confidentiality."
Kang Shanxing's mouth twitched, thinking, What kind of misunderstanding does this girl have about our work? Our daily work is not maintaining confidentiality! Although confidentiality is required, that is not the main content of our work! The four staff members who came with him glanced at Kang Shanxing, and seeing that he did not say anything, they did not correct Xia Chujian.
When those women heard that they were from the Special Security Bureau, they were not so worried.
It was not that they particularly trusted the abilities of the Special Security Bureau, but they simply knew that the people from the Special Security Bureau were particularly tight-lipped!
In other government agencies, they would still worry about being gossiped about, causing their existence to be known by the insurance company.
But in the Special Security Bureau, there was no such concern at all.
Even if they did not know the working ability of the Special Security Bureau, they also knew that keeping their mouths shut was the first element of working in the Special Security Bureau.
So the four staff members of the Special Security Bureau entered the four portholes of the Starship respectively, and canceled the autopilot function of the Starship's Mechanical Intelligence.
Then they drove the Starship straight into the Bat-style Fighter Jet brought by Kang Shanxing! The Starship, which was like a small town in Space, entered an even larger place.
It was the Bat-style Fighter Jet that resembled a mobile mega-city! This was not the first time Xia Chujian had come here, but every time she came, she would be amazed.
She looked around for a while before saying, "Colonel Kang, I have to go back to my Starry Sky Cruiser."
Kang Shanxing said, "... That's not your Starry Sky Cruiser, that's the Fourth Interstellar Fleet lending it to you."
Xia Chujian waved her hand: "Colonel Kang, don't dwell on these details. I still have some things left there, and I have to say goodbye to the Personal Guards there."
The corners of Kang Shanxing's eyes twitched uncontrollably.
In just over twenty hours, she had gotten herself a bunch of Personal Guards?!
And it wasn't her bragging.
Because Kang Shanxing received a report from his subordinate at this time, saying that there were indeed five hundred Starry Sky Marines on the Starry Sky Cruiser, inquiring about Xia Chujian's whereabouts...
They had been staying on the fourth floor before, and had not met Kang Shanxing and the others.
It was not until they discovered that the Captain was no longer in the Captain's room that they came to the fifth floor and met the last few Special Security Bureau staff members who were evacuating.
Kang Shanxing said, "Then go over, don't exceed ten minutes."
"I will return in ten minutes."
Xia Chujian nodded, "Don't worry, it won't delay your business."
She drove the small Flying Vehicle herself and flew back to the Fourth Interstellar Fleet's Starry Sky Cruiser.
Entering the Fifth Floor Hold, Xia Chujian found that her Captain authority was still there, and quickly released the hibernation state of the Fifth Floor Warplane Warehouse.
The large amount of inert gas that filled it was quickly discharged into Space in the Asteroid Belt.
At this time, the Warplanes and Airships of the base had flown away, and it was empty inside.
Xia Chujian said to the Starry Sky Marines waiting there: "Everyone, I am very happy to fight with you! I am going back to the base now, my flight training is not yet complete."
She did not say goodbye, because she knew that she would probably not return to the Fourth Interstellar Fleet.
She still wants to go to university! Sun Jiahao quickly said, "Captain, we are also very happy to fight alongside you! Once you finish your training, you'll definitely get promoted when you return! We'll be waiting for you in the Fourth Interstellar Fleet!"
Xia Chujian smiled and shook his hand, saying, "Don't worry, you'll get every bit of credit you deserve this time!"
The highest rank among these people was only Second Lieutenant.
After this meritorious service, they could at least be promoted to First Lieutenant.
A few might even be promoted to Captain, like Sun Jiahao and Li Dali.
They all knew that in the Interstellar Fleet now, military merits were extremely hard to come by.
Especially since they were in a notoriously reluctant-to-fight unit full of young masters, this meritorious service was even more precious.
Each of these simple, honest men looked at Xia Chujian, unable to utter a complete word of thanks.
Xia Chujian didn't care about that. She smiled and said, "I'm going up to pack my things, then I'll return with the Special Security Bureau, back to the Kanli Star Flying Base."
"I will report the two navigators and four pilots who are locked up to the higher-ups, so you won't be put in a difficult position."
Sun Jiahao quickly said, "Who would dare disobey the Captain's orders? No fleet would tolerate anyone who dares to disobey the Captain!"
Xia Chujian wouldn't tolerate it either.
In the military, if disobeying orders from superiors goes unpunished, then the military is useless.
Without a doubt, these few would be discharged after this mission.
And Xia Chujian would make sure they were definitely "discharged."
The second update will be at 1 p.m.
