Chapter 1277: Entrust
Zhao Chen looked at the veterans in front of him.
"Captain, what do you need us for?" someone asked.
"I have something I need you to do." Zhao Chen raised his hand and took out several lists of documents.
Send it to the people in front of you.
Then he took out several crystal cards and handed them to these people at the same time.
The veterans looked at their captain with some surprise, not understanding what he meant.
If I'm not mistaken, that crystal card...
It's a Star Alliance bank card that can be used anywhere within the Star Alliance network.
"This list contains information about the personnel of our 18th squad who sacrificed their lives."
I analyzed their respective family situations.
Then I distributed all the salary and bonuses I received over the past ten years to these people.
There are too many of these people, and they are scattered all over the Star Alliance.
I plan to open some Star Alliance Bank accounts in various locations in the future.
Every so often, a sum of money would be sent to these relatives for living expenses.
Because the time span may be quite long, and it also requires personnel supervision.
So I wanted to ask you to handle this matter.
Upon hearing the captain's words...
The veterans present all wore expressions of astonishment.
They never expected that the battalion commander would distribute all the salary for ten years of colonel service without batting an eye.
It should be noted that that amount might not be much to a nobleman.
But for ordinary people like them, that's an astronomical sum!
"Captain."
You don't need to do that.
Regarding compensation and benefits, Star Alliance has agreed to distribute them at the high standards previously promised.
"By that standard alone, our brothers' relatives could live a carefree life for the rest of their lives," an old soldier advised, handing Zhao Chen the Star Alliance Bank card.
Zhao Chen did not accept it, but said calmly, "Consider this compensation from my brothers."
After all, I promised to bring them back safely.
Especially those brothers who followed me into battle a second time.
They don't remember me, and my relatives need this money even more.
You should stop talking.
That is my order.
Unless you don't recognize me as the captain, you can leave the 18th Brigade now.
I won't ask you to do this for me.
Finally, Zhao Chen's voice sharpened.
Zhao Chen's authority remained undiminished, so no one dared to say anything more at this moment.
He obediently accepted the cards.
"But I also want to warn you about something."
The funds in these cards are for the relatives of those brothers.
If you are tempted by greed, dare to touch it.
"I will make you regret ever being born!" Zhao Chen's eyes swept over the veterans with murderous intent.
One of the veterans stepped forward and said directly, "Captain, don't worry."
You trusted us and even contributed this money for the brothers who sacrificed their lives.
If any of us dare to have any ideas, you don't need to lift a finger.
We'll clean house for you ourselves!
"That's right, clean house!"
"If I hear about it, I'll find out which guy dares to embezzle the captain's money."
Even if I'm at the ends of the earth, I'll chase after him and personally kill this bastard!
After saying this, one of the burly men glared at the people around him.
In fact, Zhao Chen's words just now were meant to establish his authority!
Those whom Zhao Chen summoned to explain this matter were all people he had investigated and who were trustworthy.
As for why Zhao Chen gave away his wealth...
One reason is naturally the reason Zhao Chen mentioned earlier.
On the other hand, Zhao Chen will not remain in this world in the future.
Leaving this wealth to him would be a complete waste.
It would be better to give it to those who need it more.
"You each go and handle this matter."
"I still need to go to the bridge to see the general." After saying this, Zhao Chen turned and left.
As the veterans watched their captain's retreating figure, they straightened up and saluted Zhao Chen's back.
This gesture was from the bottom of their hearts.
For myself, for those comrades who sacrificed their lives, and for their families.
They could ask for nothing more in their lives than to have such a captain.
The crystal bank card in their hands felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
...
Zhao Chen arrived at the bridge very quickly this time.
I stood someone up once before.
It would be really inappropriate to stand someone up again.
Zhao Chen had the necessary permissions, so he could enter the bridge without any hindrance.
Moreover, Zhao Chen's face is now his biggest passport.
Putting aside other places, on this starship, Zhao Chen's reputation was second only to that of a general.
"Hello, I'm here to see the general." Zhao Chen walked to a spot some distance from the captain's chair and asked an officer for permission.
Major Zhao
The general gave instructions that as long as it is you who comes.
No reporting required.
"You can go straight in." The staff officer looked at Zhao Chen with admiration.
Unexpectedly, this general trusted him so much.
Zhao Chen didn't say anything more and walked towards the captain's chair.
As it happened, the general was discussing matters with several staff officers at that moment.
Zhao Chen stood a few meters away from the captain's chair, without disturbing him.
However, the staff officer who was discussing with the general soon looked up and saw Zhao Chen standing not far behind the captain's chair.
The staff officer's stunned expression caught the general's attention.
He turned around and saw Zhao Chen standing there waiting.
"We can discuss these matters later." The general stood up excitedly, ending the discussion abruptly, and came to Zhao Chen.
He said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to arrive so early."
"General, you can handle your official business first. I'll wait here." Zhao Chen was well aware of his current position and knew what to say and do.
It's alright.
None of those things matter.
"Come with me, I have something to tell you." The general led Zhao Chen to a conference room next to the bridge.
After closing the door.
The general placed a paper invitation in front of Zhao Chen, which also had a metal inkpad on it.
And you know what, in this interstellar age...
Seeing this kind of object again gives me a really unique feeling.
Zhao Chen looked at the general with a puzzled expression.
"Open it, this is for you." The general sat down in the chair.
Zhao Chen took it apart.
Inside was an invitation.
The content is very simple.
The Star Alliance leadership is hosting a banquet.
High-ranking officials from various factions were invited.
Zhao Chen was invited to participate, after all, he is now considered a legendary figure.
Zhao Chen frowned slightly.
Holding a banquet at this time?
Isn't this a bit too hasty?
The general perhaps noticed Zhao Chen's expression, and he shrugged helplessly, saying, "This was actually proposed by the major families within the Star Alliance."
They all wanted to get their piece of the pie in the little universe as soon as possible.
As for inviting you.
It's because of your performance in this secret operation, and also because we want you to expand your network.
With your abilities and talents, your future will definitely be much more than just that of a starfighter pilot.
Moreover, the Star Alliance leaders will also be present at this banquet.
Although I don't like him, I have to admit his abilities are very strong!
