After all, she was the successor personally chosen by the old chief. Jiang Pengji had gone through many trials and tribulations.
However, to avoid alienating Jiang Pengji from the Federation, these things were not made clear to her.
The old chief did not like the utilitarian practices of the Federation, but he could understand those old fellows who were so worried about the Federation that even hair tonic could not save them. If there was anything to blame, it could only be blamed for the trauma left by the Encephalopathy disaster 2,000 years ago. It caused the Human Federation, which was originally at the pinnacle of interstellar civilization, to fall apart and almost fall into a state of eternal damnation. Because of this, it suffered 2,000 years of war …
More than 2,000 years, during which there was less than 100 years of true peace. Because of the Encephalopathy disaster, the development of the Human Federation in all aspects had regressed by nearly 1,000 years. Countless secrets had been leaked to the alien races who had become enemies with the Federation. The war had been going on since that year, and it had also gone through hundreds of years of darkness. A few galaxies had even been ruled by the alien races several times, and in the end, it was through countless sacrifices that they had taken back.
It was impossible to estimate how many people had been sacrificed for the Human Federation to be able to stand up again from the ruins.
Not to mention the old chief, even Jiang Pengji herself would most likely choose to understand.
The soldiers trained by the Federation had the consciousness of sacrificing everything for the Federation, not to mention that Jiang Pengji was a genetic warrior.
As long as it was an order from the Federation, as long as it was for peace, any sacrifice would be worth it.
Jiang Pengji usually looked cold, but in fact, her loyalty to the Federation was incomparable to that of many soldiers born in the Federation.
For a time, the old chief did not understand why that man would send the only direct bloodline of the Jiang family to be a genetic warrior.
One had to know that if the Federation really fell out with men, Jiang Pengji's position would always be with the Federation. She would even be the Federation's weapon against men. Who cared if he was an ancestor of the Jiang family? Jiang Pengji would only believe that she was an orphan raised by the Federation.
Anyone who did the slightest harm to the Federation, regardless of whether they were close or distant, would be her enemy.
The old chief deeply suspected that either the ancestor of the Jiang family had a deep hatred for the Jiang family, which was why he was tormenting the only direct bloodline of the Jiang family, or he was his own ancestor — dedicated to playing with his own descendants. Wasn't Jiang Pengji a typical example?
The Genetic Warrior Project sounded quite reliable, but in reality, it was a forbidden experiment prohibited by the laws of the Interstellar Alliance.
To put it bluntly, this was an experiment that used technology to forcefully stimulate the human body's potential. In a short period of time, a batch of powerful combat power could be produced. They could perfectly carry out those shady missions, assassinations, undercover spies, stealing secrets …
Since it was called a taboo, the meaning behind it was naturally not that simple.
According to the secret statistics of the Federation military, 90% of those who successfully graduated from the genetic warrior training camp died during their missions, and the remaining 10% died on their sickbeds at a young age. As far as the old chief knew, the average lifespan of a genetic warrior was around 40. One had to know that the average lifespan of an ordinary person in the Federation was around 250 years, with a small number of experts able to live up to 500 years! It was not without reason that the genetic warrior project was listed as a taboo. This matter was exposed by the talkative media, and the federal military was forced to stop the plan.
In fact, even without the interference of public opinion, this plan would have been stopped in the short term.
Why?
It wasn't that the higher-ups of the Federation found their conscience … Those old men, including the old chief himself, had no conscience at all … The reason they decided to stop this accelerated plan was because the Federation had been at war for 2,000 years and had fought against almost every alien race that could be named. Their position in the galaxy was gradually stabilized, and there were fewer wars. Naturally, the genetic warriors did not need to continue sacrificing themselves.
At this time, it was revealed that the former Sky Brain was making a comeback …
The fact that the direct descendants of the Jiang family were almost completely annihilated set off alarm bells for the higher-ups.
Their first reaction was that the Sky Brain was provoking and threatening them, reminding them of the pain of the past 2,000 years.
As long as the Sky Brain did not die, the Federation would not be able to welcome peace, and the unavoidable sacrifices would continue to increase …
Jiang Pengji and the old chief had the same thoughts.
Those who cause chaos in our clan will be punished!
Regardless of the alien races, the Sky Brain, or the ancestors of the Jiang family, if they came, they would kill them.
The higher-ups of the Federation opposed Jiang Pengji as the leader of the Seventh Corps. Apart from the Jiang family's ancestors and the Sky Brain's authority, another key factor was that Jiang Pengji was a genetic warrior. Even if she was always alive and kicking, and all her genetic values were in a strong state, no one knew if the hidden dangers of forcefully unlocking the gene lock would erupt. Pushing her to the position was too risky for the Federation.
Of course, after Jiang Pengji passed the test, the marshal and the other leaders of the corps could only pinch their noses and accept it.
Thinking of this, the old chief could not help but show a trace of mockery.
Those old fellows would never have thought that Jiang Pengji would not only become the leader of the Seventh Corps, but also a strong competitor for the position of the next marshal. Just thinking of this situation made the old chief want to laugh. Those old foxes of the Federation were really shrewd. Relying on Jiang Pengji's loyalty to the Federation, they dared to use this plan to take back the authority of the Sky Brain from the ancestors of the Jiang family through Jiang Pengji.
No matter what, the final beneficiary would be the Federation, and Jiang Pengji herself was indeed the most suitable candidate for the marshal position.
The ancestors of the Jiang family had schemed for so long, but in the end, they still ended up benefiting the Federation.
"Phew …"
The old chief leaned back and crossed his legs on the computer table. He stared at the screen calmly.
"Indeed, it's better to retire …"
It was really not human to deal with those old foxes who only had the Federation in their minds.
So what if they were the leaders of the corps?
To put it bluntly, it was a deceptive job with a salary and benefits that could not be compared to the workload.
She had to worry about selling noodles, earn money from selling cabbages, wake up earlier than chickens, sleep later than dogs, eat worse than pigs, work more than donkeys, and her annual salary was less than that of a star acting in a movie. The job was risky, and there was the risk of being sacrificed at any time. It was difficult to find a job after retiring …
According to her, why did Jiang Pengji return to the Federation?
She might as well hug her beloved husband, live shamelessly in front of the Emperor, and beat her children when she had nothing better to do.
What a beautiful life. Wasn't it better than being a slave for the Federation?
If Jiang Pengji knew what the old chief was thinking, she would probably sternly lecture him for his improper thinking.
Beep, beep, beep …
The old chief complained as he finished a cigarette. The ancestors of the Jiang family, who had disappeared for a long time, finally replied to her.
"What's the matter?"
The two words were cold, and even a punctuation mark was so buckling and searching.
"Jiang Xiaojiu is probably going to close the net soon. Do you really intend to let her face the Sky Brain alone?"
