Sorry, My Interstellar Fleet Only Recruits Women

"With a mere 300,000 people, the advantage is in my hands," Phoenix said confidently.

It's important to know that Phoenix currently has no more than 50,000 troops under its command.

Ninety percent of them were troops brought back from five family uprisings, and the quality of those troops was quite poor.

Even immediately after incorporating them, Phoenix arranged for his training teams to train these soldiers and distribute them with the latest weapons and equipment.

Let them familiarize themselves with these guns and some tactics.

However, the effect was still only so-so.

Despite this, he remained very confident.

His confidence stemmed from his own army, an army that had been preparing for nearly a year.

Although the number is less than 10,000.

But the quality of the combat, combined with those weapons...

He was absolutely confident that this was the most elite force on the western continent.

"However, there are still many enemies."

We must defeat them one by one.

First, let's deal with this guy.

He is closest to us, and his army moves the fastest.

Since you like to walk fast.

Then let's teach them a lesson.

We will quickly wipe out this army, and after a short rest, we will launch an attack on it.

If we can take out two of their three armies before we go to war.

We won the battle of momentum first, and the news of the annihilation of the two allied forces spread.

The remaining three armies will surely suffer a major blow to their morale, and it's hard to say whether they will dare to fight us to the death.

Even if they really dare to fight us to the death.

Then we can simply get into a fighting stance and fight them.

With our weaponry, we have more than enough to deal with the remaining three armies.

Phoenix said confidently.

"Yes!" the other ministers replied in unison.

Looking at the sand table before him, Phoenix seemed to already see his army sweeping through the enemy forces.

...

The army of the Kingdom of Zekeria

It was the fastest advancing of the five armies.

What is the reason?

It was because the territory controlled by the family that betrayed their kingdom happened to occupy some of their kingdom's most important resources.

They were worried that the other four kingdoms would take advantage of this opportunity, under the guise of cooperation, to seize this fertile land.

So their king ordered them to advance at the fastest speed.

They must reclaim their own territories before the armies of other kingdoms arrive.

That's why they can move so fast.

"Report, according to our scouts."

The enemy's army remained inactive.

"Based on our marching speed, we expect to make contact with the enemy around noon tomorrow," the subordinate reported.

"Tomorrow at noon?"

Let's take a break then.

The order was given: all troops should rest in place.

We'll set off first thing tomorrow morning when the sun comes up.

"We must reclaim our kingdom's territory before tomorrow night," the general said confidently.

"yes."

That night, he lay down in his marching tent and rested well.

He fantasized about being promoted and ennobled after his triumphant return.

But who would have thought that he was still fast asleep?

Suddenly, loud explosions rang out all around.

He hurriedly got up, not even bothering to put on his own clothes, and ran out wearing only his underwear.

He looked around at the blazing fire.

The sound of exploding shells could be heard everywhere.

"What happened?" he asked hurriedly.

"General, retreat quickly."

This is enemy artillery fire!

"Artillery fire?"

Such a fierce bombardment could not possibly have come from the rebels.

Moreover, the place where we rested was quite far from where their army was stationed.

Their shelling shouldn't be able to reach our position.

"It's because our scouts didn't do their reconnaissance properly and failed to discover their hidden artillery positions!"

Before his subordinate could answer the question, he was hit by a shell and died without a trace.

The blasted bits of flesh flew and landed on the general's face.

The general then realized just how close he was to death.

No matter what happens.

The most important thing now is to evacuate.

Waaaaah

At that moment, the earth began to tremble.

Then came a series of increasingly muffled cannon shots.

The sound of the cannon wasn't very far away, and it didn't sound like artillery.

Moreover, he could see the flashes of gunfire as they fired, and the guns were getting closer and closer to their positions.

It's a tank!

It consists of a large number of tanks.

On one side of their resting camp, a line of tanks appeared, numbering at least a hundred.

Moreover, its movement is not slow at all.

"Damn, how do they have so many tanks?"

"Quickly, get our tanks moving!" the general shouted hastily.

But no one answered him.

This battle came too suddenly, and the enemy's attack was too fierce.

The several hours that followed gave them absolutely no chance to retaliate.

The command system was completely paralyzed.

First came the barrage of artillery fire.

Then came the tank flanking attack, which wiped out all the heavy firepower units in their camp one by one.

These tanks are also equipped with machine guns, making it easy to eliminate surrounding infantry units.

Even if some of the more valiant enemy troops tried to destroy these tanks with explosives.

But as they get closer, they discover that behind the tanks are enemy infantry.

The tanks provide cover for the infantry as they advance, while the infantry also eliminate any enemy infantry that might threaten the tanks.

"Report.

The battle ahead has ended.

The estimated number of enemy casualties killed is 30,000, and 20,000 captured.

"The enemy general has surrendered and is now outside the tent." His subordinate excitedly ran in and reported this to Phoenix.

The surrounding ministers were all filled with astonishment.

When they saw those weapons, they anticipated victory.

But I didn't expect it to be so quick and easy.

The whole process took no more than three hours.

Is this what blitzkrieg is?

"Bring him in," Phoenix said.

Then he saw a general being brought in, bound hand and foot.

“General Ron.” A minister was somewhat surprised when he saw the general.

"You know him?" Firefynix looked at the minister who had risen up in rebellion from this kingdom.

The minister whispered to Phoenix, “This General Ron is one of the few people in this kingdom who rose from humble beginnings.”

Because there was no family support behind them.

It's been a tough journey, and I'm now in my forties.

It was only a viscount title.

Based on his military achievements, if he were a nobleman's son, he would at least be a marquis.

But in reality, he was the one leading the troops in battle most of the time, while the actual military credits were claimed by other noble sons.

Upon hearing this explanation...

Phoenix was somewhat impressed, not expecting this person to be such a talent.

Looking at the disheveled people being brought in, I saw them being dragged in.

He did not look down on his opponent in any way just because the other party was his defeated opponent.

In Phoenix's view, the opponent was not defeated by him, but by his advanced weapons and advanced tactical concepts.

If you let the opponent become familiar with your tactics, then equip them with the same weapons.

I am not necessarily a match for this general.

"General Ron."

I've long admired your reputation.

"I wonder what your thoughts are after this battle?" Phoenix looked at General Ron and said with a smile.

“A loss is a loss. Do as you please, kill me or torture me.” General Ron showed no fear of death.

Face all of this with equanimity.

"Actually, I am a person who cherishes talent. I heard that General Ron is also a talented person, but unfortunately he was buried in the old-fashioned aristocratic system."

I bet General Ron put in a lot of effort to land such a good job this time.

Tsk tsk tsk.

Such a backward and pedantic kingdom.

Its collapse was only a matter of time.

But it's different for me.

If General Ron is willing to pledge allegiance to me, I will not care about noble status or blood ties.

If you have the ability, you can achieve great things with me.

Would you like to think about it?

General Ron.

General Ron's gaze was somewhat complicated; it was clear he was tempted.

However, his pride wouldn't allow him to do such a thing.

He kept his head down and didn't say anything.

Phoenix wasn't in a hurry. He knew that persuading someone to surrender wasn't something that could be accomplished in one or two attempts.

He waved his hand, signaling to take the man away.

Then he instructed the minister who came from the same kingdom as General Ron: "Since you say this man is a capable person..."

The task of persuading him to surrender is now in your hands.

If we can persuade him to surrender, that would be a great achievement.

The minister's eyes lit up; in fact, he was still worried that he had no value to Phoenix.

He's no good at fighting.

He was also well aware of the level of the troops he had brought with him.

But when it comes to talking, he considers himself quite skilled with words.

He was confident he could persuade General Ron.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I guarantee that I will complete this mission!" the minister said confidently.

Everyone else cast envious glances their way.

Everyone envied him for having the opportunity to perform in front of his new master so quickly.

"Do not mistreat or oppress those captured soldiers."

First, they were all taken into custody in a prisoner-of-war camp that had been built in advance.

Those who perform well will receive better treatment.

We need to find a way to get them to join us.

In the process, provide them with better food and a better standard of living.

"So that they can feel the hope of life," Phoenix said.

He knows very well what he is lacking right now.

It's not actually territory.

It's people!

He is short of manpower.

Therefore, he is willing to accept anyone who can be accepted or recruited.

Only by accumulating enough talent and personnel now can we have enough people to fight on the front lines when the real war begins in the future!

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on a resounding victory!"

"We never expected to win so easily this time; none of us anticipated this."

The ministers and their subordinates all praised it.

Phoenix did not feel any joy about this.

Instead, their gaze returned to the sand table in front of them.

"We shouldn't be too happy yet."

We only dealt with one of the enemies.

There are four strands left.

I estimate that the enemy forces in other directions are still unaware that we have eliminated this part of the enemy.

"We should seize this opportunity and immediately assemble our forces to attack the second target." Phoenix had already envisioned the battle to come.

"The cleanup on the battlefield?"

What about the remaining prisoners?

Someone asked worriedly.

Phoenix looked at his subordinates: "It's not appropriate to send your men into battle right now."

"Can't they even handle things like controlling prisoners and cleaning up the battlefield?"

"no problem!"

"We guarantee to complete the mission."

The subordinates immediately and solemnly guaranteed it.

Next, the second prologue to this war began.

Before dawn.

The second enemy force was met with a barrage of artillery fire.

It was still the same old tactics: tank groups combined with infantry attacks.

They still managed to eliminate the enemy in a very short time with minimal casualties.

It can be said that the results are exactly the same.

However, the commander of this army was not so lucky.

I heard that he was hit directly in the toilet by a shell when he went to the toilet every morning.

I hope he died on the spot, otherwise... that would truly be worse than death.

The commotion of this battle could not be kept secret from the other three remaining armies.

Originally, this was in accordance with Phoenix's battle plan.

At this point, the first phase of the attack should be halted, and a stalemate should be initiated with the enemy.

However, Phoenix chose to change its original battle plan.

They immediately dispatched a tank group that had been resting for less than an hour to flank the enemy and cut off the retreat of the remaining less than 200,000 troops.

That's right!

Phoenix is ​​prepared to take over the remaining 200,000 troops in one fell swoop.

Although he was confident in his own abilities, he was still somewhat cautious.

But I only realized this after actually playing it.

Holy crap.

The opponent on the other side was completely powerless to resist.

To him, it felt like an adult was beating up a child who hadn't even started school yet.

That's too cruel.

He liked it so much.

Therefore, he decided to go all out and directly surround the remaining three armies.

Then, seize the opportunity to narrow the encirclement and wipe out all three armies.

Phoenix thought this way, and that's how he explained it.

This is also achieved on the battlefield.

With the support of tank formations and infantry fighting vehicles.

Large numbers of troops were transported directly behind enemy lines.

They even encountered enemy logistics troops.

The commander who encountered them ordered an attack without hesitation, wiping out the entire enemy logistics force.

This was a very unexpected gain.

At this moment, the commander on the other side finally realized what was happening.

Wow.

They spent one night... plus one day.

They lost not only the armies of two allies.

Even their own army's rear was cut off by the enemy.

"Reporting to Your Majesty."

The rocket artillery firing positions have been moved, and the enemy within the encirclement is now within our firing range.
