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

"Not that, this matter is a bit complicated."

Tang Dingyuan explained, "The Liaoyuan Fleet is the elite among the elites, the ace among the aces. The fleet commanders usually regard themselves very high-profile and do not want to see the many miscellaneous troops that were expanded with ancient scrap starships at that time. The Liaoyuan Fleet did not mock other miscellaneous troops as the "trash fleet".

The reason why the fleet called Baixingjian is called "trash" does not only refer to their backward equipment and their broken starships, like scrap copper and iron, but more importantly, it refers to the officers and sailors under Baixingjian."

"oh?"

Li Yao blinked and said, "What's the special thing about the officers and sailors of the White Star Sword?"

"The Star Sea Fleet was developed from the 'navy' in the era of planetary civilization. It is an extremely high-tech army that pays great attention to bloodline and inheritance. It is easy to refine a brand new starship, but it is very difficult to form an excellent starship combat team, from members of the bridge team to sailors and maintenance engineers in the power cabin!"

Tang Dingyuan is the captain of the Firefly, and he is deeply touched by this point. "The century-old army and the thousand-year-old fleet are not empty talk. Whether it is the Federation or the Empire, once it enters the highest state of war, dozens and hundreds of full-crystal armor battle groups can be exploded in one breath at any time. Ordinary people armed with the "Phantom Card" and various crystal brain assist systems can quickly master the control of low-level crystal armor and become qualified "infantry".

But the Star Sea Fleet, especially able to cross the world, have self-sufficiency, and be able to patrol the universe for several years. Decades of the "Deep Space Fleet" is completely different. Having a starship is just the easiest first step. The real key is the person who controls the starship, namely sailors, navigators, fire controllers, etc.... Thousands of well-trained and experienced people in key positions!

The team of Baixingjian was a transport fleet. His original subordinates had no combat experience at all and could not be cultivated in three or five years. Even though he tried every means to get a large number of ancient starships that were almost scrapped, there was no suitable man to manipulate them.

So, Bai Xingjian walked through an "evil road" that was extremely disdained by the "elites" and the "Ace" of the Liaoyuan Fleet.

He began to expand his manpower extensively, and the first person he recruited was the star pirates from the Flying Star Realm!"

Li Yao was slightly stunned: "Are there any star pirates in the Flying Star Realm?"

"Yes, but I've just been released from prison."

Tang Dingyuan looked a little amused and cried, shook his head, and looked quite disapproving, "Captain Lin doesn't know that a huge and extremely tragic "Star Pirate War" broke out more than a hundred years ago. With the support of the "Eternal Life Palace" organization of the immortal cultivator, the power of the star pirates was once extremely prosperous, raging the entire Flying Star Realm, and almost able to compete with the regular troops of the major sects in the Flying Star Realm!

Of course, led by Li Yao, the cultivators of the Flying Star Realm still won this war and conquered the star pirate's nest "Spider's Nest Star". Countless star pirates found themselves cheated on the cultivators and surrendered one after another.

Of course, all the bandit leaders who killed countless times were executed, but not all star pirates were sentenced to death.

According to the severity of the crime, from life imprisonment to 30 or 50 years, many star pirates were imprisoned in resource planet prisons with harsh environments, spending decades in hard labor, and moving from the "old federation" to the "new federation" era.

When the new federation, under the call of Ding Lingling, entered the first large-scale star sea war since the founding of the new federation, had been seventy or eighty years since the "Star Pirate War" and "Cultivator Rebellion" in the Flying Star Realm. Even the star pirates who were sentenced to life imprisonment basically served their sentences after several reductions of sentences, were released from prison and re-become a new person.

Of course, even the youngest lower-level sailors seventy or eighty years ago are all over the top in their prime now. The technical backbone of the Star Pirate Warship, as long as their cultivation is not too high, are now all white-haired and till tillage.

They carry the dark past of star pirates, and there is no saying that they have retired. They are discriminated against in society. They have been servicing for decades and are out of touch with the whole world for too long. Where can they find any good jobs? Most of them act as restaurant waiters, staff of crystal filling stations in shuttles, salesmen in supermarkets, etc., and are poor and destitute.

Originally, no one took these star pirates seriously. Everyone regarded them as hairless tigers who had stripped their teeth decades ago. Now they are so old that they have nothing to do with them, whether they defend the Federation or endanger the society.

However, Bai Xingjian suddenly had a whim. In the absence of manpower, he actually thought of recruiting these former star pirates!”

Li Yao was amazed: "Does this practice violate federal military laws?"

"If it were the Liaoyuan Fleet, the identity review of the entrants was indeed very strict. In principle, people with criminal records will never be recruited."

Tang Dingyuan said, "But the various miscellaneous armies in the local area are not so strict. Captain Lin should know that the Starry Flag Federation is composed of seven great worlds. In the past hundred years, it is difficult to guarantee that there is no friction between the seven great worlds. Take the three core worlds as an example. There are star pirates in the Flying Star Realm, and the Blood Demon Realm are just demon clans. Even the most original Tianyuan Realm has a "Patriot Organization". Who hasn't gone there yet? If anyone with a criminal record cannot join the army, then there will be no one available!

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

Another point is that in just a hundred years, the Starry Federation has developed from the "old federation" that was originally just one Tianyuan Realm to the "new federation" of three worlds, and has suddenly expanded from three worlds to six worlds. The territory has not only doubled, but the expansion speed is too fast, and the institutional construction in all aspects cannot keep up.

Therefore, miscellaneous troops such as the White Star Sword that are adapted from civil transport fleets and are not even considered third-rate are often the fleet commander alone. As long as the General Staff of the Federal Army located in Tianyuan Star sees the results, they will not interfere too much in the decision-making of the fleet commander. If they want to interfere, they do not have so many people, energy and resources.

Therefore, Bai Xingjian successfully recruited a large number of "former stars" who had just been in prison for decades and had been "reformed" and were washing dishes and checking out for people in the supermarket to return to their old careers!

It is said that the recruitment process is very dramatic. Bai Xingjian went to the place where they work to secretly observe and show up to persuade him. Several captains of the "Big White Fleet" are now, and even he forced them to take away from small restaurants and supermarkets. In the Linghe Book, these "former star pirates" did not believe that they could even get the qualification to control the starship after decades of sitting down!”

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

"Who said no?"

Tang Dingyuan held back his smile and said, "The White Star Sword is a well-known figure in the Federal Army. Even though he was so down and out, news about him would soon spread throughout the Federal Army.

At that time, everyone treated him as a joke, thinking that he was once again infatuated and no one was available, and there was no reason to find these extremely down-and-out former star pirates, right?

Regardless of their nature, we should know that they are all people who have been sitting down for seventy or eighty years in prison and smashed ore on the dark and cold resource planet! Many people are so old that their teeth are gone. Can they still see the information flow like a waterfall on the main control of the starship? Can they still control the naval guns when they are used to holding the impact drill and pickaxe?

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

A fleet commander with a higher aspirations and a thin life than paper, a rebellious and unruly stalwart; a former civilian transport ship sailor who had just become a military member; and a group of seventy-eighty-year-olds who couldn't stand up straight, and a year ago, a former star pirate who was brushing dishes and washing dishes and doing odd jobs... Such a combination is unreliable no matter how you look at it.

The most important thing is that Bai Xingjian was from the Liaoyuan Fleet. When talking about his ridiculous and crazy behavior, others would always mention the Liaoyuan Fleet, which was "How about Bai Moumou, the officer of the Liaoyuan Fleet in the past". Even the three words "Bai Moumou" are omitted, saying, "A senior officer from the Liaoyuan Fleet is whimsical and mixed with a bunch of stinky star pirates." Such criticism makes the Liaoyuan Fleet, which claims to be the "Federal Savior" and starts with the attack on star pirates, tolerate it? At the root of the Liaoyuan Fleet, it is irreconcilable with the Star pirates! What's strange about the fact that Bai Xingjian's troops are called the "trash fleet"?"

"So that's how it is!"

Li Yao breathed a long sigh. No one knew better than him that the predecessor of the Liaoyuan Fleet, that is, the irreconcilable contradiction between the coalition forces of the major sects in the Flying Star Realm and the Star Pirates of the Spider Nest Star. Bai Xingjian did this and 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 after?"

"Although it is called the 'garbage fleet', the 'Sky Ring War' is the first expedition of the Starry Federation to cross the vast world. All aspects need to be adjusted, and all fronts are relatively tight. Even if it is really a piece of garbage, it has its uses. The trash fleet of the White Star Sword has also been arranged for some simple escort missions."
