Sorry, My Interstellar Fleet Only Recruits Women

Chicken Island

Zhao Chen sat on the bank fishing with a fishing rod in hand.

"At this time, that fire demon... no, it should be called fire... fire something again?"

"Fire Phoenix".

"Yes, Phoenix."

Why are all the names of people in the Northern Continent so long?

"Can't I just use a shorter one?" Zhao Chen felt the force coming from the fishing rod and immediately lifted it up.

A fish leaps out of the water.

The secretary next to him immediately picked up a net and scooped the fish up.

"At this time, the battle in Phoenix should have already begun."

If all goes well, the first battle should be over by now.

"It's bound to be a big win." Zhao Chen put bait on the hook again and cast the line with a cool flick of the rod.

"Based on our assessment of the military strength of the Northern Continent."

The situation of the army over there.

As long as Phoenix doesn't declare war on the entire Northern Continent right now.

That should be enough to deal with the armies of several second- or third-tier kingdoms.

After controlling several kingdoms, they gradually annexed more territory to the north.

"We will soon become a major power in the Northern Continent!" the secretary said.

Zhao Chen's fishing rod stirred again, and he reeled it in once more, revealing a large fish a meter long hanging from it.

"This fish is good."

Zhao Chen looked at the big fish and said, "Let the cafeteria use this fish to make a big grilled fish."

"OK."

"How long can the number of shells we supply them sustain their fighting?" Zhao Chen asked, squinting.

"According to our calculations."

We maintain a supply level sufficient to sustain their army for at most one month of fighting.

"And the data won't give Phoenix any reason to doubt it," the secretary said.

Zhao Chen nodded in satisfaction.

Cast the line again.

"After all, this is a big fish that we've raised now."

We need to manage them well, otherwise they might turn around and bite us one day.

"Just in case, we must be fully prepared." Zhao Chen seemed to be talking to himself.

But the secretary naturally understood what was meant.

"What is the current size of our army?"

The secretary replied, "The navy now has more than one hundred warships."

Among them are three aircraft carriers. Although the aircraft carriers are currently equipped with propeller-driven fighter jets, they are still equipped with certain jet aircraft technology.

When we successfully manufacture jet fighters in the future, we can directly use existing aircraft carriers.

In addition, our fleet configuration includes destroyers, frigates, cruisers, and battleships.

They were all built using naval concepts far ahead of their time.

That's one way to put it.

"In the naval arena, unless we run out of ammunition and fuel, no other nation's navy can rival us," the secretary said with great confidence.

"We are still building up our army."

The total number of army personnel has reached 30,000.

The construction concept adopted is also a more advanced construction standard for small-scale and small-group projects.

Equip them with advanced individual combat weapons as much as possible, and focus on building mechanized infantry.

Preparing for future wars.

Zhao Chen nodded in satisfaction: "Our most important goal right now is still development."

We are still in the industrial age. Our short-term development goal is to enter the information age and the interstellar age.

We must avoid any unnecessary wars before this point.

War will only slow down our development.

Of course, it's acceptable if it's a proxy war that doesn't require our intervention.

After all, we can't let those transitional weapons rot in our hands.

The trained infantry regiments also need some real combat environments to test them.

Flowers cannot be grown in a greenhouse.

"Regarding this point."

We have already made a plan.

We have established a mercenary army in the Kingdom of Baljik on the western continent.

On the western continent, there exists a form of military force called mercenaries.

We procure our own weapons and equipment, and conduct our own training.

Then, when the country needs them, the country pays bounties or rewards in exchange for these mercenary groups to fight.

The Kingdom of Baljik has been preparing for war recently.

The situation is the same as in the Northern Continent.

The Western Continent has also entered a period of transition between old and new powers.

The new forces are dissatisfied with the allocation of territorial resources in the old era and want to obtain more territorial resources.

Meanwhile, some old forces are no longer as powerful as before, so they naturally can no longer protect their original territories.

Therefore, everyone is preparing for this future war.

Zhao Chen's fishing rod stirred again, and he reeled it in.

The fish was served after all.

But this time, Zhao Chen stared at the big fish for a moment, stunned.

Then he looked at the secretary and said, "Did I forget to put bait on the hook just now?"

"You can catch fish even without bait?"

"Maybe the fish here are just a bit silly," the secretary explained instinctively.

"That's about it."

"I'm going back to work." Zhao Chen stretched and put away his fishing rod.

Heading towards Chicken Island City.

The secretary glanced at the sea.

You can see several water spirits, like mermaids, poking their heads out of the sea, with several fish caught in their hands.

...

Baljik Kingdom

"This is the agreement, please take a look."

Effective immediately, the military of the Kingdom of Baljik will employ your... Crimson Dragon Mercenary Legion.

We will pay a fee.

If you perform well on the battlefield, you can also receive a bonus.

"If you achieve military merit, you may also receive some rewards." A marquis-level officer looked at the man before him.

The man signed his name on it.

"How long will it take for your army to complete its assembly?" the marquis-like officer asked, looking at the other man.

"At most three days."

"Three days, um."

Can.

You will need to bring your own weapons, equipment, and food. Is that a problem?

"no problem."

"These are your identity tokens."

Holding this token grants one the status of an officer of our Baljik Kingdom during this period.

"Thanks."

After dealing with these matters.

The man turned and left the military headquarters of the Baljik Kingdom.

He sat in the carriage parked at the door and glanced at the military headquarters of the Baljik Kingdom.

He observed the officers' appearances and mannerisms throughout the journey.

He could then roughly deduce the current state of the Baljik Kingdom's army.

"General." Several officers were already waiting inside the carriage.

"Everything has been taken care of."

Next, we will fight as a mercenary group.

Remember that our primary task is to train those infantrymen so that they can get used to fighting in this environment.

"To prepare us for building a strong army for the future." The man slowly raised his head.

His face was revealed beneath the hat.

If you look closely, you'll find that this is actually Chu Xuan disguised as a man!

That's right.

Chu Xuan was appointed by Zhao Chen to serve as a general in the Crimson Dragon mercenary group.

The carriage stopped at a temporary camp outside the city.

This temporary camp looks very rudimentary from the outside.

However, upon closer inspection, one will discover...

The simple camp was well-equipped with all the necessary sentry posts.

Soldiers patrol back and forth, and they are very serious when they patrol. There is no whispering or slacking off.

And this is only the visible sentry post.

As for the outposts that are not publicly visible, only the people inside the camp know about them.

The carriage entered the camp.

"This carriage ride was really bumpy."

"Our car is much more comfortable," the officer said, jumping down from the carriage with a hint of helplessness.

After getting out of the car, Chu Xuan first looked around the campsite.

There are many temporary training venues.

Soldiers are currently undergoing basic training, including shooting.

Looking at such a clean and tidy place, what if others knew?

This is a camp of 30,000 people; you'll be quite surprised.

Even the kingdom's regular army, with 30,000 men, wouldn't have such a clean camp.

Even if you don't say there's excrement and urine everywhere, there's still a foul stench in the air.

But to people of this era, this is perfectly normal.

But only Chu Xuan and the others knew that this was actually abnormal.

Maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in military camps is, in fact, a guarantee of military strength.

"After that, we will join up with the kingdom's regular army."

When the time comes, remember to hide most of our weapons.

Especially individual weapons like rocket launchers.

"And our radio station," Chu Xuan reminded her.

"yes."

"In addition, we must maintain real-time communication with Chicken Island."

We need to ensure that we can report our intelligence back at any time.

"yes."

"Our 30,000 people are partly for training and honing their skills."

In fact, it is also a piece that our JF-17 has placed here.

"A pawn ready to stir up a storm on the Western Continent at any time," Chu Xuan said in a deep voice.

Time passed.

One week later.

The Kingdom of Baljik declared war on the Kingdom of Gebuchi.

The Kingdom of Gebuchi is a newly emerging power that has risen rapidly in recent decades around the Kingdom of Baljik.

Although they have always been wary of the power of the Baljik Kingdom.

However, during this period, it also continued to annex the territories of other neighboring countries.

None of the neighboring countries were as powerful as the Baljik Kingdom.

Therefore, while seeking help from the Baljik Kingdom, they could only rely on themselves to resist the invasion of the Gebuchi Kingdom.

However, in the previous instances, the Gebuqi Kingdom either compromised with the Baljik Kingdom or presented various fabricated pieces of evidence.

For example, in a battle fifteen years ago.

The Kingdom of Gebuchi launched a war against a neighboring country, claiming that its caravans had been persecuted within the neighboring country's territory and demanding an explanation.

But before the other side could give an explanation, the Kingdom of Gebuchi launched a war.

They swallowed up one-fifth of the neighboring country's land in one fell swoop.

After the Kingdom of Baljik intervened to mediate, the Kingdom of Gebuchi ceased its military operations.

However, these territories that were annexed have not been returned to this day.

Situations like this continue to occur.

For example, not long ago.

Because soldiers from another neighboring country crossed the border, the Kingdom of Gebuchi suddenly declared war, killing three thousand soldiers from that neighboring country and seizing three towns.

They publicly claimed that these three towns were compensation to the Kingdom of Gebuchi.

And over these decades.

The territory of the Kingdom of Gebuchi has expanded to twice its original size since its founding!

It is easy to imagine how ambitious this kingdom was.

Now, it believes its strength has reached a point where it can declare war on the former king, the Kingdom of Baljik.

During this period, there were several military clashes with the Kingdom of Baljik on the border.

Meanwhile, other neighboring countries were also forced to take sides by the Kingdom of Gebuchi.

Some chose to side with the Kingdom of Gebuchi, while others chose to side with the Kingdom of Baljik.

Some have yet to make a statement.

Until this time, military friction continued to escalate.

According to reports, clashes involving thousands of people have even occurred at the border.

“Foolish king.”

While the Kingdom of Gebuchi repeatedly provokes and bares its fangs against other neighboring countries.

As a regional power, it deserves a swift and decisive blow.

Instead of letting the Kingdom of Gebuchi grow stronger step by step.

"It's out of control now." Chu Xuan looked at the map of the various factions on the sand table inside the tent.

The officer next to him said, "According to the information we have received..."

Over the decades, during several foreign wars, the Kingdom of Gebuchi sent large numbers of caravans into the Kingdom of Baljik.

They presented treasures to the nobles of the Baljik Kingdom.

The nobles who received the gifts would then speak on behalf of the Kingdom of Gebuchi at the kingdom's internal meetings.

So far, several meetings to vote on whether to take military action against the Kingdom of Gebuchi have failed.

That's how things have evolved into the current situation.

"corruption.

There are internal problems.

This is the problem that arises when an old power is nearing the end of its life.

They believed they were still the overlord on that throne.

He was completely unaware that the ground beneath his throne was already rotten and decaying.

"At least one strong enemy could easily overthrow this throne," another person commented.

"So what do you think?"

"How much hope does the Kingdom of Baljik have of winning this war?" Chu Xuan looked at the generals under her command.

These generals included members of their ten thousand-strong force, as well as natives of this world who had been trained during this period.

Upon hearing this question...

They all knew that this was a test from General Chu Xuan for them.

"I think the final result..."

The Baljik Kingdom was defeated, but it may take some time.

For example, one year, two years, three years.

"I also think that the defeat of the Baljik Kingdom will lead to external wars and internal conflicts."

I think there will be internal divisions.

Another female general, disguised as a man, pondered and said, "Actually, I think..."

In this war, the Kingdom of Gebuchi did not entirely want the Kingdom of Baljik.

Their real target is actually the neighboring countries around them.

He pressured neighboring countries to make statements.

Then, taking advantage of this war, they defeated the Baljik Kingdom and successfully took the top position in this region.

Then, we can legitimately use force to rule over those neighboring countries that stand on the side of the Baljik Kingdom.

Then he would force his neighboring countries, which support him, to sign agreements that resemble military alliances or other alliances.

To control these neighboring countries.

Finally, they conquered the entire Baljik Kingdom in one fell swoop!
