Li Yao frowned slightly: "Are these two words used too much?
Are all the officers of the Liaoyuan Fleet so narrow-minded and vengeful?"
"Not really, this matter is a bit complicated."
Tang Dingyuan explained, "The Liaoyuan Fleet is the elite among the elites and the ace among the aces.
Fleet commanders always think highly of themselves and do not bother to see the various ragtag armies of the Federation at that time that were expanded with old scrapped starships.
There is no such thing as a prairie fire fleet deriding other unnamed armies as 'junk fleets'.
The reason why the White Star Sword fleet is called "junk" does not only refer to their backward equipment and dilapidated starships, which are like scrap metal, but also refers to the officers and sailors under the White Star Sword. " "oh?"
Li Yao blinked and said, "What's so special 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 ultra-high-tech military branch that pays great attention to bloodline and inheritance.
It is easy to refine a new starship, but forming an excellent starship combat team can reach the level of It’s very difficult for the bridge crew members, the sailors and maintenance engineers who go down to the power cabin!”
Tang Dingyuan is the captain of the Firefly, and he is deeply touched by this point.
"A century-old army, a thousand-year fleet, this is not an empty talk.
No matter the Federation or the Empire, once it enters the highest state of war, it can explode dozens or more at any time."
Hundreds of all-crystal armor battle groups, armed with 'magic cards' and various crystal brain auxiliary systems, ordinary people 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 vast world, has the ability to be self-sufficient, and can cruise in the universe for several years or decades, is a completely different matter.
Having a star fleet is only the simplest first step.
One step, the real key is the people who control the starship, they are sailors, navigators, fire control officers, etc... well-trained and experienced people in thousands of key positions!
The White Star Sword's team is a transport fleet.
The original subordinates have no combat experience at all and cannot be trained in three to five years.
Even if he managed to obtain a large number of ancient starships that were close to being scrapped, he still did not have the right manpower to control them.
As a result, the White Star Sword took an "evil path" that was extremely disdained by the "elites" and "aces" of the Liaoyuan Fleet.
He began to expand his manpower aggressively, and the first person he recruited was actually a star thief from the Flying Star Realm!
" Li Yao was slightly startled: "Are there any star thieves in the Flying Star Realm?"
"Yes, but he was just released from prison."
Tang Dingyuan seemed dumbfounded and shook his head with a rather disapproving look, "Captain Lin doesn't know that a massive and extremely brutal 'Star Thieves War' broke out in the Feixing Realm more than a hundred years ago.
With the support of the Immortal Cultivator Organization "Eternal Life Palace", the power of the Star Thieves once flourished, wreaking havoc on the entire Flying Star World, almost able to compete with the regular armies of the major sects in the Flying Star World!
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 nest 'Spider Nest Star'.
Countless star thieves found themselves falling into the evil hands of the cultivators.
At this time, they surrendered one after another.
Of course, the bandit leaders who killed without account were executed, but not all star thieves were sentenced to death.
Depending on the severity of the crime, ranging from life imprisonment to thirty to fifty years in prison, many star thieves were imprisoned in prisons on resource planets with harsh environments and spent decades in hard labor.
From the 'Old Federation' 'Entering the 'New Federation' era.
By the time the New Federation, under the call of Ding Lingdang, went on an expedition to the Sky Ring Realm and launched the first large-scale interstellar war since the founding of the New Federation, the past seventy-eight years of the 'Star Pirates War' and the 'Rebellion of Immortal Cultivators' in the Flying Star Realm had passed.
Ten years have passed, and even those star thieves who were sentenced to life imprisonment have basically served their sentences, been released from prison, and started a new life after several commutations.
Naturally, even the youngest low-level sailors seventy or eighty years ago are now over a hundred years old, and the technical backbone of the Star Pirates warships back then, as long as their cultivation levels are not too high, are all white now.
An old man with gray hair and waning years.
They are burdened with the dark past of the Star Thieves, and there is no pension.
They are also relatively discriminated against in society.
They have served for decades of hard labor and have been disconnected from the entire world for too long.
How can they find any good jobs?
Most of them work as waiters in restaurants, workers at shuttle bus crystal filling stations, and salespeople in supermarkets.
They live in poverty and end their lives.
Originally, no one paid much attention to these former star thieves.
Everyone regarded them as hairless tigers who had stripped their teeth decades ago and are now too old to survive.

Whether they are defending the Federation or harming society, they seem to be useless.
It has nothing to do with them.
However, Bai Xingjian suddenly had a whim and thought of recruiting these former star thieves when they were short of manpower!
" Li Yao clicked his tongue in surprise: "Doesn't this approach violate the federal military law?"
"If it is the Liaoyuan Fleet, it is indeed very strict on the identity of the candidates.
In principle, people with criminal records will never be recruited."
Tang Dingyuan said, "However, the local motley crews are 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 will be no differences between the seven great worlds."
Friction, taking the three core worlds as an example, there are star thieves in the Feixing Realm, the Blood Demon Realm is simply a demon clan, and even the most primitive Tianyuan Realm has a 'Patriot Organization', who hasn't gotten over it yet?
If no one with a criminal record can join the army, there will be no one available!
Besides, most of these people are monks with outstanding strength and powerful calculation ability.
If they are determined to join the army and serve the country, but are rejected and continue to run around in society, that would not be appropriate!
Another point is that in just a hundred years, the Xingyao Federation has developed from the 'old federation' of just one Tianyuan world to the 'new federation' of three worlds, and then expanded from three worlds to six worlds at once, and its territory has expanded by more than 100%. times, the expansion rate is too fast, and various aspects of system construction cannot keep up.
Therefore, for a no-name army like the White Star Sword, which was adapted from a civilian transport fleet and is not even considered a third-rate force, the fleet commander often has the final say.
As long as the General Staff of the Federation Army in Tianyuan Star sees the results, and We won’t interfere too much in the fleet commander’s decision-making.
If we want to interfere, we don’t have so much manpower, energy and resources.
Therefore, the White Star Sword has successfully recruited a large number of "former star thieves" who have just been released from prison after decades of imprisonment and have "reformed".
They are washing dishes and paying people in the supermarket to resume their operations.
Old business!
It is said that the recruitment process was very dramatic.
For some of the most valued 'talents', Shirahoshi Sword personally went to their workplaces to secretly observe and show up to persuade them.
Several captains of the current 'Great White Fleet' even had him forcibly They were dragged away from restaurants and supermarkets because in the Biography of the Crane, these 'former star thieves' couldn't believe that they could still be qualified to pilot a starship after spending decades in prison!
" Li Yao couldn't help but laugh: "It sounds like a joke."
"Who says it isn't?"
Tang Dingyuan suppressed his laughter and said, "White Star Sword is a well-known figure in the federal army who has always been in the limelight.
Even though he was in such a state of decline, news about him quickly spread throughout the entire federal army.
At that time, everyone regarded him as a joke, thinking that he had gone crazy again.
Even if no one was available, there was no reason to go to these extremely destitute former star thieves, right?
Regardless of their character, you must know that they are all people who have sat in jail for seventy or eighty years and smashed ores on the dark and cold resource planet for seventy or eighty years!
Many people have lost all their teeth because of their old age.
Can they still clearly see the waterfall-like flow of information on the starship's main control computer?
Can their hands, which are used to holding impact drills and pickaxes, still control naval guns?
Even seventy or eighty years ago, they were just a group of star thieves, a ragtag group that could only harass and attack.
What role could they play in a confrontation between a large fleet of regular forces like the 'Sky Ring War'?
A fleet commander with a heart as high as the sky and a fate as thin as paper, with great ambition and talent, and an unruly fleet commander; a group of former civilian transport ship sailors who have just been converted to military status; plus a group of seventy-year-olds who can't straighten their waists and who were still there a year ago.
A former star thief who washes dishes and does odd jobs...
Such a combination seems unreliable.
The most important thing is that the White Star Sword came from the Liaoyuan Fleet.
When mentioning his ridiculous and crazy behavior, others will always mention the Liaoyuan Fleet and say, "What happened to the former Liaoyuan Fleet officer Bai XX?"
Even the words 'Bai XX' Omit them all, they all say that 'a certain senior officer from the Liaoyuan Fleet had a whim and got mixed up with a bunch of stinky star thieves'.
Such criticism makes the self-proclaimed 'savior of the Federation' start his career by fighting star thieves.
How can the Liaoyuan fleet endure it?
The Liaoyuan Fleet is fundamentally incompatible with the Star Pirates!
Is it any wonder that the White Star Sword's troops are called the 'Garbage Fleet'?

" "So that's it!"
Li Yao breathed a long sigh of relief.
No one would be more aware than him of the sworn conflict between the predecessor of the Liaoyuan Fleet, the coalition of major sects in the Flying Star Realm and the star thieves of the Spider Nest Star.
White Star Sword did this.
It really stirred up the hornet's nest of the Liaoyuan Fleet.
He became more and more curious about who this bold "White Star Sword" was, "What happens next?"
"Although it is called the 'Garbage Fleet', the 'Sky Ring War' is the Starry 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 Its purpose, the White Star Sword’s junk fleet, has also been assigned some simple escort missions.”
Tang Dingyuan's eyes showed a mixture of admiration and regret, and said, "To everyone's surprise, especially the Liaoyuan Fleet, the performance time of the Garbage Fleet has begun!"
