The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 591 Responsibilities
Stark stopped teasing her at this point, saying things like "good news" or "bad news" were just to amuse her; it was all about one thing, it just depended on how you looked at it.

It must be said that Jiang Hui caught a lucky break. Under normal circumstances, the application for military merit would not have been approved so quickly, especially given the context of such a major event. Theoretically, it should have taken several months to be reviewed and approved.

However, Jiang Hui's situation happened to coincide with this juncture, and after competition from various parties, her application was successfully approved. But the approver's motives were obviously not so pure; it was a pretext for some other purpose.

However, what happened after that was none of Jiang Hui's business. After all, she followed the proper procedures and submitted the application under the name of the Zongting (Imperial Clan), so there were naturally no problems. The application was approved without any issues.

Jiang Hui's rank was quite fortunate. Under normal circumstances, her achievements would have been enough to earn her a sergeant rank. After all, military rank is not something ordinary for a soldier; it is something that cannot be obtained without experiencing the blood and fire of war and facing death head-on.

However, according to the empire's military system, obtaining a military rank does not mean that one can immediately become a non-commissioned officer.

In fact, military ranks are a product of the military system. They are equivalent to the professional titles of military personnel, indicating the rank of a sergeant and representing his/her achievements during his/her service.

However, military ranks are not permanent. Generally, during their service, sergeants can be ranked according to their rank. If one does not obtain a lifetime rank, upon retirement, they will only be a regular retired sergeant, enjoying the corresponding benefits, but at that time, the so-called rank will no longer be valid.

Therefore, all sergeants, once they enter the military system, are determined to advance, to make merits and get promoted, and to strive for the rank of officer. Before leaving their posts, they want to reach the highest possible rank.

If a soldier can be promoted to the rank of general before retirement, their family will be eligible to enter the central star sector. Furthermore, they will receive appropriate arrangements after retirement, free from financial worries, and their children will enjoy a life different from their past. This is also known as an interstellar version of leapfrogging, an ending that all soldiers dream of.

Of course, given Jiang Hui's current social standing... it's a long way off to discuss this issue; she hasn't even officially entered the military system yet.

However, by chance, she obtained the rank of sergeant, which meant she was destined to enter the military system, and she began to have more things to consider.

As mentioned above, military rank is extremely important for a sergeant. It is distinct from a specific military position, both requiring corresponding achievements. Each sergeant's rank is verified and certified by the military headquarters, and they enjoy corresponding benefits in interstellar society—a reward for these heroes who defend the nation.

However, as the saying goes, "one should fulfill one's duties in one's position," Jiang Hui is now receiving a military rank and will truly become someone who receives a military salary in the future, so he will naturally have to shoulder the corresponding responsibilities.

According to the Imperial military system, all those initially assigned military ranks would have an evaluation period, and they would need to accumulate and complete the corresponding indicators before they could be finally certified as having a full-rank military rank.

So this means that after Jiang Hui received the rank of sergeant, she would have to do the work. And it wouldn't be so bad if it were just the work itself; during this period, there were not only things similar to an internship, but also performance evaluation indicators. The entire set of regulations was detailed and comprehensive, leaving no room for loopholes.

Jiang Hui: ...

Is it really this complicated to get an honorary title in your empire?
Although she intended to join the military in the future and had made corresponding career plans, the problem was that she hadn't even officially enrolled in a higher military academy yet, nor had she fully awakened... Now, as a minor, she was already starting the life of a corporate slave? And with guaranteed job placement, no less. To be honest, Jiang Hui felt it was all rather unreal.

However, after thinking about it, Jiang Hui realized she was actually feeling a bit better. Three years ago, Huan Xian and Zhou Xiuwen seemed to be doing the same thing, back when they were both younger, and they appeared to have been doing it for quite some time… and they were doing it quite well, weren't they?
So what's wrong with the Empire?! They've even started using child soldiers; they really don't need to go to such lengths.

Regardless of Jiang Hui's current complaints, the resolution regarding the issuance of her military rank has been issued and filed with the military and the government. Jiang Hui's future receipt of military pay is now a certainty, and she will have to bear the corresponding responsibilities until the day she is discharged from the military.

The sergeant major is a non-commissioned officer rank, which is close to the category of officer, and the evaluation period is four to six years. This means that if she does not make any other contributions during the evaluation period, she must complete the corresponding task targets within these four to six years in order to be officially recognized as a full-fledged officer.

If nothing unexpected happens, Jiang Hui should soon participate in the national college entrance examination. It will take at least four years to pass the exam and complete higher education at the corresponding military academy before he can officially enlist.

Therefore, Jiang Hui's evaluation period almost completely coincided with her official enlistment time. As everyone knows, these two points in time are very important for a soldier. The former is related to whether Jiang Hui can be officially certified as a sergeant, and the latter is related to her future faction and the acquisition of a formal military position.

Stark has already foreseen the next four busy years for this little guy.

Jiang Hui, your child is really a handful... but also something to be proud of.

Jiang Hui hadn't realized the problem yet; she only asked about the evaluation criteria out of curiosity before turning her attention away.

As they spoke, Jiang Hui had already finished cleaning. Although there were some minor hiccups along the way, it didn't delay the important matter. The whole process really didn't take more than half a week, and soon the two of them came out of the guest room.

There were already people waiting outside; they were sent by Marshal Zhou.

It wasn't that Zhou Yuanjing was petty, sending someone to monitor them for such a short time. The reason was that the Jian'an had strict rules; even military personnel on the starship couldn't act arbitrarily without orders. Jiang Hui and Stark were outsiders, and traveling would be inconvenient, so a special soldier was sent to guide them away from the Jian'an.

Before that, Jiang Hui made sure to go to the medical department to say hello to Huan Xian, so that he would know that she had left first.

Unfortunately, although they arrived, Huan Xian was still in the process of adjusting to the medication, and it was said that an entire medical team was monitoring his vital signs. Therefore, Jiang Hui did not want to disturb him, so he sent a text message to Huan Xian's new personal terminal, then said goodbye to Zhou Xiuwen and left with Stark to go home.
