Beyond planet w38.
The Qing Yuan had flown beyond the range of planet w38, and all the starfighters followed suit.
Qi Bing sat in the cockpit: "All fighters have left the range of planet w38, requesting return to the ship."
"Return permitted."
Qi Bing led more than a dozen starfighters and landed one after another on the flight deck of the Qing Yuan.
As soon as the fighters moved back to the hangar from the elevator, Qi Bing jumped off the fighter, quickly handed over her work, and rushed to the bridge.
She knew something was about to happen there.
Something that would determine the future of the Qing Yuan.
When Qi Bing arrived at the bridge, breathless.
There were already quite a few female soldiers who had come to hear the news, standing in three layers, a total of hundreds of people.
In the center were Tang Yuan and Sun He who had just been rescued.
"Why, I just got back, and there's such a big commotion," Sun He smiled, looking at the female soldiers around him who were looking at him with strange eyes.
"Captain Sun He, I have some video clips here, I need to show you…" Deputy Captain Tang Yuan was speaking seriously.
But she was interrupted directly by Sun He.
"I know what you want to say, those starfighters you piloted were indeed modified by me. How did the battle on Serra go?" Sun He asked curiously.
He wanted to know how effective the Serra interception operation was after his intervention.
Deputy Captain Tang Yuan looked at Sun He, who didn't hide anything: "The enemy deployed six Short Sword-class interstellar destroyers and four Hunter-class interstellar frigates."
Sun He nodded, he had all the information on these two warships in his memories from school.
"They're all T1 level warships, the Hunter-class interstellar frigates have pretty good anti-air systems. How about casualties and battle damage?"
Deputy Captain Tang Yuan continued: "Five enemy ships were destroyed, three Hunter-class interstellar frigates and two Short Sword-class interstellar destroyers.
We had no fighters crash, one Hummingbird-class fighter had a wing damaged, thirteen Grey Wolf-class fighters had varying degrees of damage, but all the fighter pilots returned safely."
Sun He nodded with satisfaction: "Good, no one was killed, that's all that matters. Fighters can be repaired, but if people are gone… then they're gone for good."
The bridge fell silent as they listened to Sun He's heartfelt words.
Sun He broke the silence, he looked at Tang Yuan: "I guess, with all this commotion, you have something you want to tell me."
Tang Yuan took a deep breath, knelt on one knee: "Captain Sun He, before, I had eyes but did not see Mount Tai, I was arrogant and offended you.
I am willing to accept any punishment, I can even resign as Deputy Captain.
Please do not hold a grudge against Captain Sun He, and officially become the Captain of the Qing Yuan. I guarantee that the female soldiers of the Qing Yuan will obey your orders and commands.
As long as you can give them a place to stay, a mouthful of food, that's enough."
When the female soldiers around them heard what Deputy Captain Tang Yuan said, they all knelt down on one knee.
"We hope Captain Sun He will not hold a grudge and officially become the Captain of the Qing Yuan!"
Qi Bing, who had just arrived, saw this scene and also knelt down on one knee without hesitation.
She had never knelt before any man before, but this time, she chose to kneel.
As for the reason.
It's simple.
Because this man could bring the sisters of her crew back safe and sound.
His abilities and value had been demonstrated in those surveillance recordings.
He had the ability to change the current situation of the Qing Yuan fleet.
For this alone, let alone making Qi Bing kneel, even if she traded her life for it, she would have no regrets.
Secretary Qiao Rongrong bit her lips, kneeling on the ground, raising her head, her beautiful eyes pleaded with Sun He: "Captain Sun He, the Deputy Captain has offended you before, but it was unintentional.
The Deputy Captain has sacrificed too much for our Qing Yuan, the former captain was her foster mother, she fought for the Qing Yuan from the bottom of her heart.
Please don't revoke the Deputy Captain's position, if you have to punish someone, I, Qiao Rongrong, am willing to take the punishment!"
"Rongrong…" Tang Yuan looked at her secretary in surprise.
"Alright," Sun He clapped his hands, silencing everyone.
He walked to the captain's seat, sat down with a thud, looking at the starry sky outside.
"I disagree with what the Deputy Captain said."
Uproar!
The hearts of all the female interstellar soldiers were filled with complex emotions.
Deputy Captain Tang Yuan lowered her head in self-reproach, she knew her previous behavior towards Sun He was incredibly rude, he came to be the captain.
But she didn't give him any face at all.
In the end, she even sent him to a dangerous monster planet, almost ending his life.
If the roles were reversed, how could she possibly forgive such a thing.
"First: I was always the captain of the Qing Yuan, this is undeniable." Sun He's words made everyone dumbfounded again.
Sun He smiled and continued: "Second: just having a place to stay and a mouthful of food, I can't do that.
My fleet, my female soldiers, they must live well, eat well, not just barely survive."
Finally, Sun He looked at Tang Yuan, who was kneeling on one knee: "Third: I don't agree with you resigning, you're an excellent deputy captain. Plus, the three thousand sisters on the Qing Yuan all trust you, if you leave, who am I going to find to help me?"
Looking at Sun He's teasing expression.
Deputy Captain Tang Yuan knew she had been 'tricked'.
The female soldiers around her were overjoyed and wept with relief.
Qiao Rongrong wiped the tears from her eyes, smiling and scolding: "Captain, you're too bad, you scared us."
"Alright, get up everyone. Don't kneel down for no reason in the future." Sun He told everyone to get up.
Then Sun He looked seriously at Tang Yuan: "Since you acknowledge my captain status, then I have to do what a captain should do.
The saying goes that a new official sets three fires, I've prepared my three fires.
Relay my first order, gather all the senior management of each department in ten minutes.
I'm going to hold the first full meeting since I became captain."
Tang Yuan stood up straight, her expression serious: "Yes!"
Sun He's deep gaze followed the stars and ocean outside the window.
From this moment on, his journey in this universe had officially begun.
He would build an incredibly powerful fleet, he would make his female soldiers live a prosperous life.
