11th Regiment Base Administrative Office Building, Base Commander's Office.
The second lieutenant's female adjutant, Alizi, pushed the door in and pushed the quantum notepad in front of Miles Mark with a strange look on her face, saying, "Commander, this is the result of the merit assessment of everyone in the monster attack battle on the balance beam." It’s worth it, please make your final decision.”
As soon as Alizi finished speaking, a holographic image appeared above Miles Mark's desk, allowing him to view it confidently.
"What...what's going on!" Miles Mark looked ugly.
In the war of the universe age, every interstellar paratrooper is a collective, such as a company, platoon, squad, etc. Soldiers in the army generally use the company as the basic management unit, and a company is an accommodation unit and training unit. The same is true on the battlefield. The company is the most basic statistical unit for soldiers' meritorious performance. The number of enemies killed is not the only criterion for counting military achievements.
In this way, it would be difficult for grassroots soldiers to surpass their direct commanders in combat merit statistics, and naturally their merit points would not exceed those of their immediate commanders.
Yi Chen is so good. With 3,000 merit points, he not only surpassed Huffman, but also surpassed the base commander Miles Mark.
The holographic image clearly shows three merit lists, the officer merit list, the soldier merit list, and the 11th regiment base merit list.
11th Regiment Base Merit List:
Chen Sheng: 3000.
Miles Mark: 2370.
Huffman: 1236.
Alba: 1230.
Phelps: 786.
Dennis: 756.
. . . . .
Dornier: 650.
Bill: 515.
Kubli: 458.
. . . . .
Yan Hui: 320.
Tom: 220.
Feng Yuan: 213.
Nangong Yi: 150.
Li Feng: 110.
Bol: 86.
. . . .
Keane: 30.
. . . . .
The female adjutant Alizi opened her mouth, and finally said awkwardly: "Commander, I...I don't know the reason. This is how the main control optical brain of the base assessed it."
Miles Mark frowned, not doubting that the master optical brain was wrong. This was a habit developed by the subjects of the empire over countless years, and they firmly believed that their optical brain was correct.
Now, someone from the Kemalist faction in the Imperial High Command wants to take advantage of this monster attack to remove Mars Mark, and then attack the Pat-Donald faction to avenge the removal of 18 planet captains last time.
Miles Mark relied on his backer, Hector Levien, to escape punishment. Now if the statistical results of his achievements were reported, wouldn't it prove that Miles Mark was incompetent? Your merits are not as much as those of an interstellar paratrooper under your command, so what use do you have? By then, Hector Livien might be too embarrassed to step in to protect him.
"Aliz, immediately notify all the base officers of the 11th Regiment to come to the underground conference room for a meeting. No one is allowed to be absent!" Miles Mark said.
It was still the same place, but the atmosphere this time was very different from the day before yesterday. More than 100 officers died in the monster attack, 24 of them died, and one-fifth of the seats in the room were empty.
Miles Mark glanced at Alizi, and she immediately understood the commander's intention and turned on an instrument.
Immediately, a holographic image appeared above the conference table, allowing dozens of officers to see clearly, which was the ranking of meritorious service.
Everyone immediately eagerly browsed their own merit scores on the officer merit list. This was a core issue involving their promotion and treatment.
At first, everyone didn't feel anything. Dennis, the instructor of the 18th company, occasionally glanced at the merit list of the 11th regiment base. His pupils shrank, showing a look of disbelief, and shouted: "Commander, did Adjutant Alizi make a mistake?" Got it!"
His words attracted everyone's attention, and they all curiously looked at the merit list of the 11th Regiment Base.
In an instant, the conference room exploded.
"Adjutant Alizi, what did you do? You can get such a simple thing wrong." An instructor's first impression was that the strange female adjutant had gotten the data wrong.
"This is impossible. We have so many officers whose meritorious service is not as good as that of a soldier. There must be something wrong with the equipment in the conference room." A skeptical instructor thought that there was something wrong with the equipment, but he also thought that the optical brain could cause trouble.
"Hmph, I think there's something wrong with the judging criteria!" Kubri, the selfish, insidious, and cunning guy from the 23rd Company's third company, raised a key question.
When Miles Mark heard Kubri's words, he couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
Kubri is the kind of guy who doesn't have the typical professional skills, but is very good at figuring out the commander's thoughts. This is why he obviously escaped during the battle and was not punished.
If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.
Of course, the chief officer needs a warrior with excellent professional ability and a good fighting spirit, such as Huffman; he also needs a guy who suits his needs and has a flexible mind, such as Kubri; otherwise, Miles Mark will have to deal with everything he encounters. It would be ridiculous to bring it up.
Miles Mark was dissatisfied with the statistical results of this meritorious service. However, he was the base commander and it was not appropriate for him to raise objections himself.
It is also not appropriate for him to instruct someone to raise objections, as that will leave people with clues. He is being watched by people from the headquarters and must be careful.
Therefore, Miles thought of leveraging his strength. The interstellar paratrooper named Yi Chen had such a high merit score that not only made him Miles Mark unable to step down, but many other instructors must have lost face and felt jealous.
"Haha, as expected, it was Kubri, a guy who likes to stir up trouble, who jumped out first. Although this guy has mediocre abilities, he is very discerning in other aspects." Miles Mark thought.
Kubri started it, and many other instructors followed suit. They all believed that there was something wrong with the evaluation standards and that the merit evaluation standards for this monster attack needed to be modified.
"What's wrong with the evaluation standards? That's nonsense! Optical brains never make mistakes!" Huffman said dissatisfied.
He was very satisfied with Yi Chen's performance and had no pursuit of merit. With his historical merits, he could have been promoted and made a fortune long ago, but Huffman had given up on the senior officials of the Kabasi Empire and was willing to be an ordinary instructor to do his part for the people of the Kabasi Empire.
Seeing that everyone wanted to deprive Yi Chen of his meritorious service, Huffman was very dissatisfied.
Dennis, the instructor of the 18th Company, sarcastically said:
"Instructor Huffman, of course you have no objection.
As an ordinary interstellar paratrooper, Chen Sheng will be qualified to become a planet-level combat hero if he really reaches 1,500 merit points in a battle. Your 7th company can also become a model company for the entire sharp star. "
Dennis had been competing with Huffman at the 11th Regiment base, so he confronted Huffman in person.
Kubri jumped out again and said with a smile:
"Instructor Huffman, you have misunderstood us. No one doubts that optical brains can make mistakes.
We are questioning the evaluation standards. The evaluation of the Kabasi Empire's military merits has always been a combination of optical brain recording and the chief judge's decision.
The battlefield situation is complex and ever-changing, and military merit cannot be evaluated completely according to the logical template, otherwise it will cause many officers and soldiers to become discouraged. "
Kubri’s words immediately resonated with everyone.
War in the cosmic age is a complex activity that can only be completed by the cooperation of many participants including various arms, commanders at all levels, fleets, logistics personnel, intelligence personnel, etc.
In this process, many things cannot be quantified specifically, and military achievements cannot be evaluated completely according to a logical model.
Huffman could no longer firmly oppose it. He was a pure soldier and didn't like to fight with all kinds of villains.
"Balance beam, call up the records of the monster attack battle and report the battle merit evaluation process." Miles Mark saw that the time was ripe and directly ordered the 11th regiment base optical brain.
He wants to exercise the authority of the chief officer to re-calculate the battle merits and merit values.
Avril hadn't left in Guang's mind, and the words of the people in the conference room made her face a little annoyed. These guys actually wanted to exercise the chief officer's power to change the military merit she assigned to Yi Chen.
"Hmph, I still have to fight for him!" Avril thought stubbornly.
She replaced the balance beam at the 11th Regiment base and presented content to dozens of officers in the underground conference room.
In the holographic image above the conference table, the entire process of the monster attack was quickly played.
The image specifically highlights that Yi Chen began to arrange for personnel to get ammunition and weapons, and distributed LM50 grenade launchers and ammunition to other companies in the 11th regiment base, making an outstanding contribution to the first half of the monster attack.
Avril also demonstrated a battle simulation here. Without Yi Chen's behavior, there was a 90% chance that the monster army would have occupied the 11th regiment base before the officers discovered the battle on the ground.
The image continues to play.
Yi Chen flexibly commanded the 7th company to fight, fought fiercely with the elf warriors alone, and followed Huffman to bravely rush into the monster army to fight in close combat.
. . . . . . . .
Glimpse usually took more than an hour to play the entire monster attack process.
Everyone was a little confused. This was the first time they had seen the first half of the battle scene.
"Balance beam, why are there so many new images? Where do they come from?" Miles Mark couldn't help but ask.
Through these video records, he also knew that Yi Chen's military exploits were not small, so he was a little confused about the newly added content.
"Commander Miles Mark, the new content record has been restored. 31 minutes before the monster attack, the base of the 11th regiment was attacked by a mysterious signal, causing the base record at that time to be overwritten with wrong information." Avril learned to balance the beam. status.
Miles Mark continued to ask, "Have you found the source?"
"Unable to track, the other party's technology far exceeds my ability!" Avril continued to play the balance beam.
In fact, Avril was not prepared to tell the Kabasi Empire about the source of the signal she discovered, because that would reveal the secret of her own consciousness.
Then Avril Lavigne showed the evaluation criteria for combat achievements: strategy, tactics, command, cooperation, and annihilation of enemies.
In the first half of the monster attack battle, Yi Chen's actions helped the entire 11th Regiment base. He received high scores in the tactical part. At the same time, he also commanded the 7th Company very well and was the best among all interstellar paratroopers.
None of the officers in the conference room participated in the first half of the monster attack and had no merit in the battle.
After hearing Guang Nao's explanation, everyone was speechless. According to this statement, there is really no problem in evaluating Yi Chen's military exploits.
"Commander, I think this criterion needs to be modified in this monster attack.
The reason why these interstellar paratroopers can fight is because of the good training of the instructors of each company and the good leadership of you, the commander.
Without people like us, the average interstellar paratrooper wouldn't know any combat skills at all.
In addition, we did not participate in the battle in the first half because we were blinded by the information, but we were still on the battlefield, so we should participate in the statistics of military achievements!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . "
Kubri, the instructor of the 23rd Company, was a good talker, and his words were so profound that he basically convinced all the officers in the conference room.
Huffman was angry and said: "Cubri, you are also an instructor. We didn't participate in the battle, so why are you thinking about military exploits!"
Kubri still said with a smile: "Instructor Huffman, I am also thinking about everyone!" This simple sentence touched the hearts of all the officers.
Soldiers who don't want military glory, the instructors Bill and Yan Hui of the 7th Company also began to favor Kubri in their hearts.
Miles Mark scanned everyone's faces and roughly understood the current situation.
At this time, the female adjutant Alizi whispered something in Mars Mark's ear. Miles Mark's eyes lit up and he paid attention.
"Instructor Kubri made a lot of sense. The monster attack battle was won by the officers and soldiers of the 11th regiment base. On the balance beam, add all the officers into the equation and recalculate the combat merits into merit points." Miles Mark made the final decision.
Avril was a little unhappy after hearing this, but she still started to count her combat achievements in a new way.
Huffman was about to speak, but Miles stopped him and said:
"Of course, as you have just seen in the holographic image, Chen Sheng has made a great contribution, and we cannot wrong our interstellar paratroopers.
I have two decisions here: Chen Sheng, who was injured first, is in the 11th Regiment Base Hospital and can enjoy the medical treatment of a second lieutenant. His lost right leg can be completely restored by using a body repair robot; secondly, if Chen Sheng's merit score exceeds 1,500, I will apply for the title of planetary battle hero for him in the name of the 11th Regiment Base! "
