Lu Jia understood, of course, that Reinhardt's appointment of her as the third commander would never pass in an internal Battle Group meeting. Even if it did, she would have resigned on her own accord.
Having personally experienced the cruelty of politics and power, she made no comment on the appointment. It was a move to protect both herself and the sisters she represented in this high-stakes meeting. She was also keenly aware that her own strength did not yet qualify her to bargain with the other leaders around the command table.
Her best course of action was to remain silent and expressionless, and ultimately, to unconditionally accept a reasonable appointment.
Clearly, it wasn't just the courage and skill she had displayed during the earlier battle on the bridge.
Lu Jia's conduct at this very moment made Koller appreciate the young woman all the more, and he found he had no real objection to her appointment as his adjutant.
