Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Li Yiu slightly frowned: “These two words are too much. Are the officers of the original fleet so narrow-minded that they must be reported? ”

“Not really. It's a little complicated. ”

Tang Dingyuan explained, "The original fleet is the elite among the elite, the ace among the ace cards, the fleet commanders are highly self-conscious and do not despise the general knowledge of the various miscellaneous armies - at that time the Federation expanded more miscellaneous armies with ancient scrap starships, nor did the original fleet ironically see the miscellaneous armies as‘ garbage fleets’.

The fleet known as the White Star Sword is‘ garbage ’and does not simply refer to their outdated equipment, broken starships, as if they were scrap iron, but to officers and sailors under the White Star Sword. ”

“Oh?”

Li Yao blinked, “What's so special about White Star Sword officers and sailors? ”

“Starfleet was developed by the ‘Navy’ of the era of planetary civilization and is an ultra-high technology with a strong focus on descent and heritage. It is easy to refine new starships, but it is very difficult to form an excellent Starfleet combat team, go up to the bridge crew, go down to the sailors and mechanics in the power compartment! ”

Tang Dingyuan is the captain of the Firefly, deeply touched by this, “Hundred Years Army, Millennium Fleet, this is not an empty phrase. Once the Federation or Empire enters the highest state of war, dozens and hundreds of all-crystal armored squadrons can be ejected at any time. Ordinary people armed with ‘magic cards’ and various crystal brain aids can quickly master the low-order crystal mastery and become qualified 'infantry'.

But Starfleet, especially able to cross a thousand worlds, has self-sufficiency, can tour the universe for years, decades of 'Deep Space Fleet’, is quite another matter, owning a Starfleet is just the simplest first step, the real key is the person who owns the Starfleet, are sailors, navigators, fire controllers, etc... trained and experienced people in thousands of key positions!

The crew of the White Star Sword was a transport fleet with no combat experience at all, not three years and five years to cultivate, even if he managed to get a large number of ancient ships close to obsolescence, and did not have the right people to manipulate them.

As a result, the White Star Sword took a ‘evil path’ that the ‘elites’ and ‘aces’ of the original fleet were despising.

He began to expand his manpower. The first recruit was a star thief from the planetary world! ”

Li Yao slightly said: “Are there any other star thieves in the world of stars? ”

“Yes, but just got out of jail. ”

Tang Dingyuan looked somewhat crying, shook his head, and looked somewhat unexpected. “Captain Lin did not know that the world of stars had erupted more than a hundred years ago in a huge and fierce 'Star Theft War’. With the support of the immortal organization 'The Hall of Everlasting Life', the power of star thieves once flourished, ravaging the entire world of planets, almost able to counter the regular armies of the major factions of the world of stars!

Of course, under the leadership of ‘vulture' Li Yao, the fixers of the flying stars still won the war, overcoming the ‘spider nest' of the star thief's lair. Countless star thieves found themselves in the vice of the fixer and surrendered their weapons.

Of course, not all of the murderous bandits were executed, but not all of the star thieves were sentenced to death.

Depending on the gravity of the crime, ranging from life imprisonment to 30 to 50 years, many star thieves have been held in environmentally harsh Resource Planet prisons, spending decades in hard labour, moving from the 'old Federation’ to the 'new Federation' era.

By the time the new Federation, summoned by Ding Zheng, expedited the Tianhuan Realm to launch the first large-scale Star Sea War since the establishment of the new Federation, the ‘Star Thief War' and ‘Fairy Rehabilitation' of the former star world had passed seventy or eighty years. Even the star thieves sentenced to life imprisonment had basically served their sentences after several commutations, and were released from prison and rehabilitated as human beings.

Naturally, even the youngest bottom sailor 70 or 80 years ago, is now in his 100s of years of age, and the technical backbone of the Star Thief Battleship, as long as it is not too tall, is now a grey-haired, candle-disabled old man.

They carry the dark past of star thieves, they have no pension, they are more discriminated against in society, they have served decades of hard labour, and they have been disconnected from the whole world for too long. Where else can they find good jobs? Most of them are restaurant waiters, crane filling station staff for shuttles, supermarket salesmen, etc., and they are poor and have survived.

Originally, no one had seen these old star thieves in their eyes. They were all taken out of their teeth decades ago, and now they are too old to be hairless tigers, whether defending the Federation or endangering society, seemed to have nothing to do with them.

But the White Star Sword suddenly wondered, in the absence of manpower, to recruit these old star thieves! ”

Li Yaozhu wondered: "Is this not against federal military law? ”

“In the case of the original fleet, it is true that the identity of the joiners is scrutinized very strictly and that those with criminal records are in principle never recruited. ”

Tang Dingyuan said, “But the miscellaneous army of the various roads in the place is not so strict. Captain Lin should know that the Starlight Federation is made up of seven great thousand worlds united. In the past 100 years, there has been no friction between the seven great thousand worlds. For the three core worlds, there are star thieves in the planetary world, and the blood demon world is simply demonic. Even the most original celestial realm has a 'patriot organization'. Who hasn't ordered past? If no one with a criminal record can join the army, then there's no one left!

Besides, many of these people are powerful and powerful monks. It would be inappropriate if they were refused to join the army to serve the country and continue to wander around in society!

Moreover, in just over a hundred years, the Starlight Federation has grown from an ‘old federation’ of only one celestial realm to a ‘new federation' of three worlds, and from three to six, the frontiers have more than doubled, the pace of expansion has been too fast, and various aspects of institution-building have not kept pace.

So, a mixed army like the White Star Sword, which is not even third-class from the civilian transport fleet, is often left to the sole discretion of the commander of the fleet, and the Federal General Staff in Uranus does not interfere too much with the decisions of the commander of the fleet if it sees the results - there is not as much manpower, energy and resources to interfere.

Therefore, White Star Sword successfully recruited a large number of 'ex-star thieves' who had just been in prison for decades, had been 'rehabilitated’, were washing dishes and checking out accounts in the supermarket, and were back in business!

The recruitment process is said to be dramatic, for some of the most valued ‘talents', the White Star Sword was secretly observed and persuaded to appear where they work, several captains of the ‘Great White Fleet’ now, even he forcibly dragged them away from small restaurants and supermarkets - because in the Legend of the Crane, these ‘ex-star thieves' could not believe it, sitting in jail for decades, they could still qualify for the starship! ”

Li Yao couldn't help laughing: “Sounds like a joke. ”

“Who says no? ”

Tang Dingyuan smiled, "The White Star Sword is a famous figure in the Confederate Army itself. Even if it falls to this point, news about him quickly spread throughout the Confederate Army.

Everyone thought he was a joke at the time, that he had gone mad again —— how could no one else be available, and why would he go looking for these horrible ex-star thieves?

Whatever their hearts and minds, you know they're the ones who sat in jail for seventy or eighty years and smashed seventy or eighty years of ore on a dark, icy resource planet! A lot of people are old enough to lose all their teeth. Can they still see the waterfall-like information flow on the starship's master crystal brain? Can they still manipulate the guns with their hands that are used to impact drills and pickpockets?

Even seventy or eighty years ago, they were just a bunch of star thieves, a bunch of people who could only harass and sneak up on each other. What role could they play in the confrontation of a large fleet of regular armies like the Tianhuan War?

A fleet commander whose heart is taller than the sky, whose life is thinner than paper, whose mind is more skilful and less tame; a former civilian transport sailor who has just been converted to military status; plus a group of seventy old and eighty former star thieves who can't even straighten their waist and who were still washing dishes and working part-time a year ago... How can such a combination be unreliable?

Most importantly, the White Star Sword went out of the original fleet. When talking about his ridiculous and insane behavior, others would always carry a reference to the original fleet, all of which were 'what about Baek a former officer of the original fleet', and even omitted the word 'Baek a', all of which said ‘a senior officer from the original fleet wondered how the sky was blown up and mixed with a bunch of stinking star thieves’. Such an argument made himself a 'federal savior’, and how could the original fleet bear to fight star theft? The roots of the Original Fleet are no different from the star thieves! What's so strange about a man who would call the White Star Sword a 'garbage fleet'? ”

“So that's it! ”

Li Yao took a long sigh of relief, no one would know better than him the predecessor of the original fleet, that is, the contradiction between the bulk factions of the star world and the star thieves of the spider nest star, the White Star sword did this, really stabbed the horsehair of the original fleet, he became more and more curious about who this daring “White Star Sword” was, “after that? ”

“Although known as the ‘Garbage Fleet', the 'Tianhuan War' was the first expedition of the Starlight Federation across a thousand worlds, with all sides to grind, all fronts relatively tight, and even if it were a piece of garbage, it would be useful, and the Garbage Fleet of the White Star Sword was assigned some simple escort tasks. ”

Tang Ding's eyes blew out both admiration and regret, "That's it, making everyone, especially the original fleet, fall glasses, garbage fleet show time, start! ”
