“Even if we all agree, promoting Luo Lingxing to higher ranks in such a short period of time will likely cause objections among the people of the empire,” the general who had previously opposed the move said again.
His words were not without reason. The reason they initially awarded Luo Lingxing a military rank was because of his great contributions to the military, but the specifics of those contributions were not made public. After all, the strength of the Imperial Army was a nation’s weapon, and if it were made public, it would be harmful to their country if it were known to those with ulterior motives or even foreigners.
However, such a reason might work the first or second time, but the third time it would raise suspicion, even suspicion about the military.
“If the people start to doubt the military, it will be a huge loss, and it will also have a great impact on the military’s reputation.”
“But we can’t erase Luo Lingxing’s contributions to the military because of this. That would be unfair to Luo Lingxing,” Zhou Yi said, frowning.
He wouldn’t do anything that would be detrimental to the military, but he would strive for anything that would benefit the military. Luo Lingxing clearly had a significant impact on the military, and he didn’t want to wrong that young man at all.
“We will never forget Luo Lingxing’s contributions to the military, but it’s not the right time to promote him. He was just promoted to lieutenant not long ago. If he is promoted to captain immediately, it will definitely cause controversy. Wouldn’t it be better for everyone if we waited until he had enough seniority?” the general suggested again.
Zhou Yi wanted to say something more, but he also knew that the problem the general mentioned was indeed true.
“Let’s leave it at that for now. I’ll ask for their opinions after the child and Han Junzhan return. You can go back now,” Zhou Zhongguo finally said.
The incident of Han Junzhan leading the First Legion to a great victory over the Zerg has stirred up a storm online. Countless young people admire Han Junzhan, and fans of the Ye, Luo, and the Jun Ling ship were proud of their idols and proud to be fans of these two.
However, while the whole country was celebrating, there was a group of people in the Imperial Capital who felt worried and panicked.
In the pitch-black room, only a large screen occupying one wall flickered, vaguely revealing several figures sitting below. The screen was showing footage of Han Junzhan leading the First Legion in their battle against the Zerg. “The army’s strength is greater than before,” one person said quietly, his eyes fixed on the screen.
“Anyone with eyes can see that. The key question is, what should we do?” another angry voice rang out, clearly dissatisfied with the increase in military strength.
“With a strong army, the empire will be more secure. Isn’t that a good thing?”
“Good?” “You’re telling me it’s good?” “Aren’t you worried that once the army becomes too powerful for us to control, who do you think will be in charge of this empire?” The man who had been angry earlier said sarcastically, arms crossed.
“The army is nothing but a bunch of roughnecks who only know how to fight. Would they be capable of managing a country?” another person said dismissively.
“Now the empire has no royal family, and the army and the government are on equal footing. However, when the army becomes so powerful that the government can no longer control it, do you think the empire will still have a government at that time?” the speaker couldn’t help but shout.
The two largest forces in the empire were the military and the government. The military was responsible for the empire’s security, while the government was responsible for the empire’s development. The two had always been complementary and mutually restraining.
However, when one side’s power began to increase and far surpasses that of the other, could the empire still tolerate the other side? Who wouldn’t want to be the sole ruler of the empire?
Therefore, when the military demonstrated its strength, everyone else was celebrating, but some people in the government were panicked, worried that the military would eventually become uncontrollable by the government, or even put the government under its thumb. What would they, the government personnel, do then?
“It’s just a battle, what’s there to worry about?” “Those soldiers are nothing but muscle-bound, brainless idiots. You have absolutely no confidence in defeating them?”
“You……”
Everyone here was a high-ranking government official, and all of them are trustworthy. If it weren’t for that, he would have thought this person was a spy who had infiltrated the government.
“Actually, it’s not that difficult. If you’re so worried about them, why don’t you find more people and increase our strength? Then the army might have to act according to our wishes,” the man said arrogantly.
However, upon hearing this, the others immediately showed joy and asked, “So you have a solution?”
The man’s lips curled into a cold smile as he said, “With those people, we can definitely make sure the military has no chance of recovery!”
“Who? Where are they?” The speaker asked urgently, as if he couldn’t wait to see them.
“Don’t worry, you’ll see those people soon.” The man didn’t say anything, but a slight smile appeared on his lips, a smile of certainty.
Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing were unaware of this incident. As soon as they returned to the Emperor Star, they rushed home to see their two little darlings.
Luo Lingxing has been gone for so long this time, and Han Junzhan also left afterward. Moreover, during the time they were dealing with the Zerg, they didn’t even have time to send a video call home. The two of them haven’t seen their two babies for several days.
These few days may seem short to others, but to them it felt like an eternity.
Upon returning home, Luo Lingxing immediately requested a few days off from school to spend time with her two children. Even Han Junzhan, after reporting the matter to the military, stayed home to be with his partner and children.
Since winning the Best Actor award at the Golden Fox Film Festival, Luo Lingxing has almost disappeared from the entertainment industry. Although he had recently appeared in the military, it was not enough for his fans to swoon over. They strongly urge the little prince to continue acting in movies and TV series.
As a result, the comments section of Luo Lingxing’s and Jun Ling Entertainment’s Weibo accounts was almost completely flooded with messages from Luo-fans.
Luo-fan 1: When will the little prince appear? I’ve been waiting forever! Luo-fan 2: Little prince, you’ve rested for so long, it’s time to rest enough! Hurry up and come out to film TV series and movies, we’re all starving! Luo-fan 3: Little prince, even just showing off your love and feeding us some dog food would be enough for us. Don’t just stay silent! Luo-fan 12: Is the little prince really going to follow in the footsteps of the Male God and only film one movie a year? No, little prince, you can’t treat us so heartlessly!
Ye-fan 11: [Picking nose] I’m used to this now, ladies, you’ll get used to it after a while.
Ye-fan 12: Back when our idol started only making one movie a year, we cried like this too. We’ve all been there, we understand. Ye-fan 22: I have to say, the little prince and the Male God are a match made in heaven. They’re even surprisingly compatible in this aspect. It’s truly enviable. Luo-fan 111: [Tears streaming down my face] As fans, it’s been so tough for Luo-fans and Ye-fan to support these two incredibly “lazy” idols in the entertainment industry. *sobs*
Luo-fan 222: Actually, I just hope that the little prince can post more Weibo posts so that we can often see the daily life of the little prince, the Male God, and our little idol. I would be very satisfied.
Luo-fan 666: I want to know about the daily life of the little prince, the daily life of the little male god, and the daily life of Xiao Hei being cute. The fans’ comments were varied and basically they wrote whatever came to mind, covering all aspects. It made people feel both sympathetic and amused.
Luo Lingxing naturally saw all of this, but taking on a movie role was definitely impossible for him at the moment. After all, he didn’t want to be away from his two babies for such a long time again. A movie would definitely take at least a month to film, and that was the fastest estimate. If it were a TV series, it would take even longer.
This trial had been enough for him. He definitely wouldn’t want to go through it again.
However, he won’t be taking on any movies or TV series anytime soon, but he could still occasionally appear on variety shows and update his Weibo frequently. It just so happened that he really wants to share the growth of his two adorable babies with others right now.
Although it was just this much, Luo-fans were easily satisfied. They could occasionally watch variety shows about Luo Lingxing and see Xiao Hei and the two little male gods on Weibo. Compared to the situation before when there was no news at all, it was much better now. Fans were busy admiring the screen every day.
The zerg had been quiet since their last attack on the Kedama system, but the military had strengthened the defenses of the outer systems, just in case the Zerg might make a comeback.
However, the zerg did not harass the Empire again, but the Empire still faced a major event. An envoy from a superior civilization planet came to the Empire, wanting to establish friendly relations with it.
This news immediately shocked the entire nation, as it was the first time anyone had ever heard of a superior civilization planet. They had never imagined that, besides their empire and the other two neighboring empires, there were actually civilization planets, and even more advanced ones than their own.
At first, everyone was skeptical about this matter. After all, their empire had been developing for thousands of years and had been conquering the universe for thousands of years, yet they had never heard of the existence of any other civilized planets. Otherwise, there would have been some clues. However, when those guests from afar displayed their power, the entire nation was stunned. It was a power they had never seen before, a power that their empire and all known empires had never possessed.
