In the leisure club of Tai Ping, Commander Xiao Yu of the Universe Army, comfortably clad in oversized shorts, was sitting in a sauna room. A holographic screen was on in the sauna, broadcasting news. Sitting next to Xiao Yu were two of his comrades, Lai Zhicun and Ji You.

As Ji You watched the news, he held a glass of wine in one hand and a cigarette in the other, and pointed meaningfully at the TV, saying, "The civilizations of the Bi Star Cluster have been easily manipulated by our Chancellor during the applause. First, he drew their attention with the boundary division tactic, then threw out the trade permit, and finally coaxed the twelve civilizations to stand with us against the three major slaveholders."

Lai Zhicun commented indifferently from the side, "There’s no trick to it, it’s simply a matter of power."

The three-day Pinglin diplomatic conference had concluded, and Yosi Ha’er accomplished all three tasks entrusted by Bai Zhongqi: identifying the divides among civilizations within the Bi Star Cluster; establishing a trade framework between the Bi Star Cluster civilizations and the Star Alliance; and lastly, getting the twelve civilizations to take a stance against the slaveholders with the Star Alliance.

In fact, the civilizations within the Bi Star Cluster wouldn’t participate in the war since they lacked the capability. Bai Zhongqi’s demand for them to pick sides was mainly to ensure these civilizations wouldn’t sway to the enemy’s side.

Xiao Yu sat there leisurely, yet remained silent.

Having been on Earth for three years, Xiao Yu had become quite accustomed to the various pleasures of Earthlings. He had to admit, in terms of enjoyment and indulgence, even Earthlings, who have not reached interstellar civilization levels, surpassed many interstellar civilizations.

"The Bi Star Cluster is unlikely to become the main battlefield of the war, Your Majesty still prefers that we maintain a stable rear. If those civilizations are here, they can’t pull our legs; otherwise, their fate will be the same as the Luozhao people," Xiao Yu said with a slight upturn of his lips.

After a steamy sauna session, the three men, wrapped in large towels, strolled out. They changed into bathrobes and lingered in the club’s lounge. This lavishly built club was not initially planned by Bai Zhongqi during his development of Tai Ping, but was instead funded and built by Xiao Yu as a pleasure and entertainment venue.

After all, he was a descendant of the Knights of Destiny, even if he currently reported to Bai Zhongqi, he was not short of resources or money. Establishing a club was not a hassle for him, and after its establishment, it also became a place where many Star Alliance elites gathered for entertainment.

The nobility of Iridium Star enjoyed hosting various salons and clubs, which were important for managing social connections.

The entirely privately-funded club, mainly catering to those of status, didn’t enforce a membership model at Xiao Yu’s place, and everyone had to pay for their entertainment here. This also prevented instances of bribery and corruption.

"The Bi Star Cluster is just a star region; the minor successes achieved here are of little value. If the Star Alliance truly desires strength and prestige, it must ultimately ascend over the corpses of the three major enslavers," Xiao Yu concluded.

The three generals from Iridium Star were not particularly unsettled or uncertain about the war against the enslavers. Despite the Controllers being shrouded in mystery, all three were fully confident that the Star Alliance would eventually triumph.

At that moment, Lai Zhicun spoke again, "The Chancellor has indeed gained some benefits by forging good relations with a few civilizations of the Bi Star Cluster. At the very least, the Pan Star Civilization’s media teams in distant places continue to report significant Galaxy events back to their home civilizations. We have always struggled to ensure clarity in our understanding of affairs in the Galaxy, where many events of great significance to the Star Alliance, such as movements in Teizene or declarations from the Controllers and Benefactors, were not readily accessible to us, which substantially delayed our responses."

Ji You added, "I hear the Chancellor has sent his girlfriend to sign a news broadcasting agreement with the Pan Star people. They have agreed to hand over all the news they gather from news brokers to our Star Alliance. In doing so, we now have some insights into what significant events are happening in the Galaxy."

Xiao Yu sneered, "Most people on Earth nowadays are only concerned with getting through their own days, let alone matters happening in the Galaxy. They could even be indifferent to the problems in their own cities."

Ji You, feeling much the same, said, "Even though we speak the same language and share cultural ties, I still feel there’s a big gap between us and the people of Earth’s C nation. No matter what, we Iridium Star people always prioritize our nation, and if the nation calls, everyone eagerly hopes to serve. However, in many countries on Earth, the notion of serving the nation or the people is scrupulously avoided, and there is no intention to make sacrifices."

Gazing at Xiao Yu, Lai Zhicun suddenly asked, "Commander, is the rate of building our Universe Army’s warships currently very fast? If so, do we need to recruit more personnel for the Universe Army’s ships?"

Xiao Yu nodded and responded, "It’s inevitable. Our Universe Army’s warships are directly controlled by the Supreme Command and not manned by crew members grabbed from spacecraft. However, many countries have a huge number of unemployed people who are living on government relief, and even many are causing trouble, opposing our Star Alliance. In my view, those people are just idle troublemakers. Now that we have a large number of ships unstaffed and the new recruitment season is about to commence, I will convince the Star Alliance council to support my plan—I intend to draft all these individuals who haven’t contributed to their countries into the army, where they can be trained to be real warriors and develop genuine respect and loyalty to our Chancellor."

Ji You appeared surprised, "Has the boss actually implemented this compulsory conscription policy? We indeed lack manpower, but do we really need to? Recruiting those living on basic income without working to be our soldiers, I’m just worried they might not handle their duties any better than the warship AI would on its own."

Lai Zhicun, also curious, asked, "Would such a compulsory conscription law pass the approval of the Star Alliance government and the Chancellor?"

Xiao Yu answered, "The Star Alliance government is not the issue, we can persuade Du Peng and others to speak for us to the Chancellor; it’s just a matter of introducing a new decree,"

"As for the Chancellor... I had already reported this matter to him, but there has been no response yet. I am confident that the Chancellor has already seen the content and is actively working on the reforms," Xiao Yu confidently replied.

With some concern, Ji You added, "Both the Chancellor and the government may approve, but forcing those without jobs to become soldiers of the Universe Army is somewhat worrying. These people are fundamentally losers, and whether they can adapt to the military is a problem. Moreover, I fear they might cause even bigger disturbances."
