40,000 Years of Cultivation

Li Yao frowned slightly: "These two words are used too much, are all the officers of the Liaoyuan Fleet so narrow-minded and retributable?"

"Not really, it's a bit complicated."

Tang Dingyuan explained, "The Liaoyuan Fleet is the elite of the elites and the trump card of the trump cards. Fleet commanders usually regard themselves very high, and do not bother to have the general knowledge of the various miscellaneous forces. At that time, the Federation was expanded with old scrapped starships. There are more miscellaneous troops, and the Liaoyuan Fleet does not ridicule the other miscellaneous troops as the'junk fleet'.

The reason why the fleet of the White Star Sword is called ‘garbage’ does not only refer to their outdated equipment, broken starships, like scraps of copper and iron, but also refers to the officers and sailors under the White Star Sword. "

"Oh?"

Li Yao blinked, "The officer and sailor of Bai Xingjian, what's so special?"

"The Xinghai Fleet was developed from the'Navy' in the planetary civilization era. It is an ultra-high-tech, very focused on pedigree and inheritance of arms. It is easy to refine new starships, but it is easy to form an excellent starship combat team. Members of the bridge crew, sailors and maintenance crews in the power cabin, it will be very difficult!"

Tang Dingyuan, the captain of the Firefly, is deeply touched by this point, "A hundred-year army, a thousand-year fleet, this is not empty talk. Whether the Federation or the Empire enters the highest state of war, you can explode dozens of them in one breath at any time. Hundreds of full crystal armor battle groups, ordinary people armed with'superior power cards' and various crystal brain auxiliary systems, can quickly master the control of low-level crystal armor and become qualified'infantry' after quick training.

But the Xinghai Fleet, especially the “deep space fleet” that can span a thousand worlds, is self-sufficient, can cruise in the universe for several years and decades, is another matter entirely. Owning a starship is just the easiest way. One step, the real key is the people who control the starship, they are sailors, navigators, fire control officers, etc...thousands of well-trained and experienced people in key positions!

Bai Xingjian's team is a transport fleet. The original subordinates had no combat experience at all, and could not be cultivated in three or five years. Even if he tried to get a large number of ancient starships that were close to scrapping, he did not have the right manpower to control them.

As a result, Bai Xingjian took an ‘evil road’ that was extremely disdainful by the ‘elite’ and ‘aces’ of the Liaoyuan fleet.

He began to expand his manpower aggressively, and the first recruit was actually a star thief from the Flying Star Realm! "

Li Yao was startled slightly: "Are there still star thief in the Flying Star Realm?"

"Yes, but just released from prison."

Tang Dingyuan looked a little bit dumbfounded. He shook his head and looked quite disapproving. "Captain Lin didn't know that there was a massive and extremely tragic'Star Thieves War' in the Flying Star Realm more than 100 years ago. With the support of the Immortal Cultivator organization'Eternal Palace', the power of Star Thieves once flourished and ravaged the entire Flying Star Realm, almost able to contend with the regular army of the major factions of the Flying Star Realm!

Of course, under the leadership of the "Vulture" Li Yao, the cultivators of the flying star world still won the war and conquered the star thief's nest "Spider's Nest Star". Numerous star thiefs have found themselves in the evil of the cultivator. When they surrendered one after another.

Of course, the bandit leaders who killed nothing were executed, but not all the star thief were sentenced to death.

According to the severity of the crime, from life imprisonment to thirty to fifty years in prison, many star thieves were imprisoned in the resource planet prison in a harsh environment and spent decades in hard labor. 'Entered the era of the'New Federation'.

When the new federation, under the call of Ding Lingdang, expedition to the Celestial Circle and launched the first large-scale star-sea war since the establishment of the new federation, the'Star Thieves War' and the'Fairy Cultivator's Rebellion' in the flying star realm had passed seven or eight For ten years, even those star thief who were sentenced to life imprisonment, after several reductions, basically served their sentences, were released from prison, and started to behave again.

Naturally, even the youngest bottom sailor 70 or 80 years ago is still a man of more than a hundred years old, and the technical backbone on the Star Pirates battleship back then, as long as the cultivation level is not too high, they are all white at the moment. The old man who is dying and dying.

They are burdened with the dark past of Star Pirates, and there is no such thing as a pension. They are also more discriminated against in society, have served decades of hard labor, and have been out of touch with the whole world for too long. Where else can they find any good jobs? Most of them worked as waiters in restaurants, spar filling stations in shuttle cars, and shop assistants in supermarkets. They were impoverished and left behind.

Originally, no one took these former star thief in their eyes. Everyone regarded them as hairless tigers that had their teeth stripped decades ago. They are now too old to work. Whether they are defending the Federation or endangering society, they seem to be both. It has nothing to do with them.

However, Bai Xingjian had a whim, and under the situation of insufficient manpower, he even thought of recruiting these former star thief! "

Li Yao tut was amazed: "Does this approach violate the federal military law?"

"If it is the Liaoyuan Fleet, it is indeed very strict on the identity of the entrants. In principle, people with a criminal record will never be recruited."

Tang Dingyuan said, "However, the local miscellaneous army is not so strict. Captain Lin should know that the Star Federation is composed of seven great worlds. In the past hundred years, there has been no guarantee that there is no difference between the seven great worlds. Friction, take the three core worlds as an example. There are star thieves in the flying star realm, and the blood demon realm is simply a monster race. Even the most original Tianyuan realm has a'patriot organization'. Who hasn’t passed it yet? If anyone with a criminal record can't join the army, then there will be no one to use!

Besides, many of this group of people are monks with outstanding strength and powerful computing power. If they are willing to join the army and serve the country, but they are rejected and continue to run around in society, then it is not appropriate!

Another point is that the Star Federation has evolved from the original “old federation” of only one Celestial Realm to the “new federation” of three worlds in just a hundred years, and it has suddenly expanded from three worlds to six worlds, and its territory has not only expanded. The expansion rate is too fast, and all aspects of system construction are somewhat unable to keep up.

Therefore, a miscellaneous army such as the Bai Xingjian adapted from a civilian transport fleet and not even a third-rate army is often the commander of the fleet who has the final say. The EFF General Staff at Tian Yuan Xing only needs to see the result, and Will not interfere too much in the decision-making of the fleet commander-I don't have so many manpower, energy and resources to interfere.

Therefore, Bai Xingjian successfully recruited a large number of "ex-star thief" who had just been sitting in the prison for decades and had been'reformed'. They were washing the dishes and checking out people in the supermarket. Fuck again. Old industry!

It is said that the recruitment process is very dramatic. For the most valued'talents', Bai Xingjian personally went to their working place to observe in secret and appeared to persuade them. Several of the current captains of the'Great White Fleet' even forced him to force them. Taken away from small restaurants and supermarkets-because in the book of Linghe, these "former star thief" didn't believe that, after sitting in prison for decades, they could still get the qualification to control the starship! "

Li Yao couldn't help laughing: "It sounds like a joke."

"Who said no?"

Tang Dingyuan endured a smile and said, "Bai Xingjian is a well-known figure in the Federation Army itself, even if it is down to this point, news about him will quickly spread throughout the Federation Army.

At that time, everyone thought of him as a joke, thinking that he had gone crazy again-no matter how no one was available, there was no reason to look for these extremely desolate former star thief, right?

Regardless of their temperament, you must know that they are all people who sat down in jail for seven or eighty years and smashed ores for seven or eighty years on the dark and cold resource planet! Many people are so old that they have lost their teeth. Can they still see the waterfall-like flow of information on the starship's main control crystal brain? Can they still control the naval gun if they are used to the hand of the hammer drill and the pickaxe?

Even seven or eighty years ago, they were just a group of star thieves. They were mobs who could only harass and sneak attacks. What role could they play in a large fleet confrontation such as the "Sky Ring War"?

A fleet commander whose heart is higher than the sky, life is thinner than paper, ambitious, talented and unruly; a former civilian transport ship sailor who has just turned into military status; plus a gang of seven and eighty, his waist is not straight, he was still a year ago The former star thief who washed the dishes and did odd jobs... Such a combination, how unreliable it is.

The most important thing is that the White Star Sword came out of the Liaoyuan Fleet. When mentioning his ridiculous and crazy behavior, others will always mention the Liaoyuan Fleet. They are all "how about the former officer Bai of the Liaoyuan Fleet", Even the three words'Bai XX' were omitted, and they all said,'A high-ranking officer from the Liaoyuan fleet is whimsical and entangled with a bunch of stinky star thief'. Such criticism makes one claim to be a'Federation'. The savior', how can the Liaoyuan fleet, which started as a fight against star thief, tolerate it? At the root of the Liaoyuan Fleet, it is not at odds with the Star Pirates! What's weird about the people who call the White Star Sword the ‘garbage fleet’? "

"So it is!"

Li Yao let out a long sigh of relief. No one knows better than him that the predecessor of the Liaoyuan Fleet, that is, between the allied forces of the major factions in the Flying Star Realm and the Star Pirates of the Spider Nest, there is no common contradiction. He really stabbed the hornet's nest of the Liaoyuan fleet. He became more and more curious about who this bold "White Star Sword" was, "What's next?"

"Although it is called the'garbage fleet', the'Sky Ring War' is the Star Federation's first expedition across the world. All aspects need to be adjusted and all fronts are tight. Even if it is really a piece of garbage, there are Its usefulness, the garbage fleet of the White Star Sword, has also been arranged for some simple **** missions."

Tang Dingyuan let out both admiring and regretful eyes, and said, "In this way, everyone, especially the Liaoyuan Fleet, was shocked. The performance time of the Garbage Fleet has begun!"
