Chapter 1636 The Rise of the Garbage Fleet!

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

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

Tang Dingyuan explained, "The Liaoyuan Fleet is the elite of the elite and the trump card of the trump card. Fleet commanders usually think highly of themselves, and they don't bother to see the various non-brand troops of the Federation that were expanded with old scrapped starships at that time. There are too many, and I don't see the Liaoyuan Fleet ridiculing other miscellaneous troops as 'garbage fleets'.

The reason why Bai Xingjian's fleet is called "garbage" does not only refer to their outdated equipment, dilapidated starships, and scrap metal, but more to the officers and sailors under Bai Xingjian. "

"oh?"

Li Yao blinked and said, "What's so special about the officers and sailors of Bai Xingjian?"

"The Starship Fleet was developed from the 'Navy' in the age of planetary civilization. It is an ultra-high-tech unit that pays great attention to bloodlines and inheritance. It is easy to refine a brand-new starship, but forming an excellent starship combat team, up to The members of the bridge team, the sailors and maintenance engineers who went down to the engine room, it will be very difficult!"

Tang Dingyuan is the captain of the Firefly, and he feels deeply about this, "A century-old army and a thousand-year fleet are not empty words. Regardless of the Federation or the Empire, once they enter the highest state of war, dozens of them can explode at any time. Hundreds of full crystal armor battle groups, ordinary people armed with 'supernatural 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 Star Sea Fleet, especially the "Deep Space Fleet" that can span the world, has self-sufficiency, and can cruise the universe for several years or decades, is another matter entirely. Owning a starship is only the simplest first step. One step, the real key is the people who drive the starship, such as sailors, navigators, fire controllers, etc...thousands of well-trained and experienced people in key positions!

Bai Xingjian's team is a transport fleet. The original subordinates have no combat experience at all, and they can't be trained in three to five years. Even if he tries to get a large number of ancient starships that are close to scrapping, he doesn't have the right manpower to operate them.

Therefore, Bai Xingjian took an "evil path" that was extremely disdained by the "elites" and "aces" of the Liaoyuan Fleet.

He began to massively expand his manpower, and the first recruits turned out to be star robbers from the Flying Star Realm! "

Li Yao was slightly taken aback: "Are there still star robbers in the Flying Star Realm?"

"Yes, but just released from prison."

Tang Dingyuan looked dumbfounded, shook his head, and looked disapproving, "Captain Lin didn't know that there was a huge and tragic 'Star Thief War' in the Flying Star Realm more than a hundred years ago. With the support of the Immortal Cultivator Organization "Palace of Eternal Life", the power of the Star Bandits once flourished and ravaged the entire Flying Star Realm, almost able to compete with the regular armies of the various sects in the Flying Star Realm!

Of course, under the leadership of 'Vulture' Li Yao, the cultivators of the Flying Star Realm still won the war and conquered the star thief's lair "Spider Nest Star". At that time, one after another disarmed and surrendered.

Among them, the bandit leaders who killed without calculation were of course executed, but not all star bandits were sentenced to death.

Depending on the seriousness of the crime, ranging from life imprisonment to 30 to 50 years in prison, many star thieves were imprisoned in resource planet prisons with harsh conditions and spent decades in hard labor. ' Entered the era of the 'New Federation'.

By the time the new federation, called by Ding Lingdang, went on an expedition to the Sky Ring Realm and launched the first large-scale star sea war since the founding of the new federation, the 'Star Thief War' and the 'Rebellion of Immortal Cultivators' in the Flying Star Realm in the past have passed seven or eight years ago. It has been ten years, and even those star thieves who were sentenced to life imprisonment have basically served their sentences after several commutations, were released from prison, and started a new life.

Naturally, even the youngest low-level sailors 70 or 80 years ago are now more than a hundred years old, and the technical backbone of the star thief battleship back then, as long as their cultivation base is not too high, they are all in vain now. An old man with gray hair and dying years.

They are burdened with the dark past of star robbers, they don't have any pensions, they are discriminated against in society, and they have served decades of hard labor, and they have been out of touch with the whole world for too long. Where can they find any good jobs? Most of them worked as waiters in restaurants, workers in spar filling stations for shuttle cars, salespersons in supermarkets, etc., and they were poor and spent their lives.

Originally, no one took these former star thieves seriously. Everyone regarded them as hairless tigers who had their teeth stripped decades ago and are now too old. Nothing to do with them.

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

Li Yao was amazed: "Doesn't this kind of behavior violate the military law of the Federation?"

"If it's the Liaoyuan Fleet, the identity checks on the joiners are indeed very strict. People with criminal records will never be recruited in principle."

Tang Dingyuan said, "However, the miscellaneous armies in the local area are not so strict. Captain Lin should know that the Federation of Stars and Glory is composed of seven great worlds. In the past hundred years, it is difficult to ensure that there is nothing between the seven great worlds. Friction, take the three core worlds as an example, the Flying Star Realm has star robbers, the Blood Demon Realm is simply a demon race, and even the most original Tianyuan Realm has a "Patriot Organization", who hasn't passed it yet? If there is If even a criminal recorder can't join the army, there's no one available!

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

Another point is that in just a hundred years, the Federation of Stars has developed from the "old federation" of only one Tianyuan world to the "new federation" of three worlds, and expanded from three worlds to six worlds at once. times, the expansion rate is too fast, and the system construction in all aspects cannot keep up.

Therefore, the general staff of the Federal Army located on Tianyuan Star, as long as it sees the result, will not be considered as a third-rate mob army, like the White Star Sword. It will not interfere too much with the decision-making of the fleet commander. If you want to interfere, you don't have so many manpower, energy and resources.

Therefore, Bai Xingjian successfully recruited a large number of "former star thieves" who had just been released from prison for decades and had 'reformed', were cleaning dishes and washing dishes, and paying people in supermarkets. old business!

It is said that the recruitment process was very dramatic. For the most valued 'talents', Bai Xingjian personally went to the place where they worked to secretly observe and persuade them. Several captains of the 'Great White Fleet' even forcibly They were dragged away from small restaurants and supermarkets because in the biography of Linghe, these 'former star thieves' couldn't believe that after decades of imprisonment, they could still get the qualification to pilot a starship! "

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

"Who said it wasn't?"

Tang Dingyuan suppressed a smile and said, "Bai Xingjian is a well-known figure in the federal army, even if he has fallen to this point, the news about him will soon spread throughout the federal army.

At that time, everyone took him as a joke, thinking that he had gone mad again, no matter how no one could use him, there was no reason to find these extremely down-and-out former star thieves, right?

Regardless of their temperament, you must know that they are all people who have been in prison for 70 or 80 years and smashed ore on the dark and cold resource planet for 70 or 80 years! Many people are so old that their teeth have fallen out. Can they still clearly see the cascading information flow on the starship's main control chip? Can they still operate naval guns if they are used to hammer drills and pickaxes?

Even seventy or eighty years ago, they were just a group of star thieves, a mob who could only harass and sneak attack. What role could they play in the confrontation of the large fleet of the regular army like the "Sky Ring War"?

A rebellious fleet commander with a heart higher than the sky, a life thinner than paper, great ambitions and talents; a group of ex-civilian transport ship sailors who have just converted to military status; A former star thief who washes dishes and does odd jobs... Such a combination is unreliable no matter how you look at it.

The most important thing is that Bai Xingjian came out of the Liaoyuan Fleet. When mentioning his ridiculous and crazy behavior, others will always mention the Liaoyuan Fleet incidentally. Even the word "Bai Moumou" was omitted, and it was said that "a senior officer from the Liaoyuan Fleet was whimsical, and mixed up with a bunch of stinky star thieves." Such criticism made the self-proclaimed "Federation How can the Liaoyuan Fleet, which started out fighting star thieves, bear the savior? Liaoyuan Fleet is at odds with Star Thief at its core! What's so strange about calling Bai Xingjian's men the 'garbage fleet'? "

"So it is!"

Li Yao let out a long sigh of relief. No one knows better than him the predecessor of the Liaoyuan Fleet, that is, the mortal conflict between the coalition forces of the major sects in the Flying Star Realm and the star robbers of the Spider Nest Planet. Bai Xingjian did this, He really stabbed the Liaoyuan Fleet's hornet's nest, and he became more and more curious about who this daring "White Star Sword" was, "What happens next?"

"Although it is called the 'Junk 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 relatively tight. Even if it is really a piece of garbage, there will be some Its use, Bai Xingjian's garbage fleet, has also been arranged for some simple escort missions."

Tang Dingyuan's eyes showed both admiration and regret, and said, "To the surprise of everyone, especially the Liaoyuan Fleet, the performance time of the Garbage Fleet has begun!" (To be continued.)
