Chapter 767: 753 Unified Empire Army’s First Battle

At the founding of the United Empire, known as the Iridium Star United Empire in the newly unified Galaxy, the scale of the United Empire Army’s fleet was actually not large, even smaller than the fleet of a mid-level civilization. Chancellor Bai Zhongqi did not transfer warships from the original Iridium Star forces to the newly established United Empire Army but instead started building new ships directly.

The United Empire Army’s new warships built entirely using Iridium Star’s latest technology even incorporated some of Bai Zhongqi’s original essence, forming a style distinct in appearance, combat functions, and weaponry from the Iridium Star military.

The United Empire Army manufactured the BB11-type Battleships, BC15-type Battleship Cruisers, CV16-type Fleet Aircraft Carriers, CA121-type Heavy Cruisers, CAC167-type Carrier Cruisers, DD170-type “Planet Annihilator – Destroyers,” and other new model warships. These warships were not named after Iridium Star’s old method of using names to confirm the type, but were, instead, designated by alphanumeric types.

The United Empire, with its explosive productivity, built a total of 28 battleships, 15 battleship cruisers, 20 aircraft carriers, 456 heavy cruisers, 232 carrier cruisers, and 880 destroyers. This formed a massive fleet of over a thousand ships, though at this stage, the fleet was mainly operated by AI, as the majority of soldiers from various civilizations just incorporated into the United Universe Army had not yet completed basic training.

In fact, this military operation was intended as a training exercise for these United Empire Army soldiers.

Zero also followed Bai Zhongqi to participate in this war, with the counterpart being the second Swarm, a situation Zero, as the Swarm Empress, would not accept being second best. She could not restrain her instinctual desire to completely eradicate the second Swarm.

“Chancellor, although various civilizations have handed over a large number of soldiers and have contributed various military expenses, resources, and other items, according to your plan, we should integrate soldiers from all different civilizations together, unlike the previous situation where each civilization, each species had separate control over a ship or a formation. Even though we’ve distributed translation devices to every soldier, these soldiers from different civilizations still hold diverse cultures and ideologies, and the conflicts we’ve recorded these days have exceeded a thousand cases,” they said.

Bai Zhongqi sighed and said, “That is unavoidable, there will always be this period of adjustment. After all, we abruptly brought up as many as twelve million people from various civilizations. It’s normal to have more than a thousand conflicts with such a massive number of personnel.”

About thirty percent of the soldiers Bai Zhongqi armed in the United Empire Army were Universe Army, responsible for piloting warships; the remaining seventy percent were all Star Battle Army. The Star Battle Army was further divided into four major arms: the Interstellar Marine Corps, the Orbital Airborne Corps, the Aero-Space Corps, and the Terrestrial Mobility Corps. Other than the Aero-Space Corps, which primarily operated atmosphere and space defense and offensive weapon platforms, the other three corps overlapped to some degree. The Interstellar Marine Corps was more focused on combat in space, the Orbital Airborne Corps emphasized planetary assault landings, while the Terrestrial Mobility Corps was more focused on planetary defense, possessing air strike and interception vehicles, aquatic surface and underwater attack vehicles, and a large number of mobile infantry.

Training over eight million Star Battle Army soldiers was not an overnight affair, but Bai Zhongqi still managed to select two hundred thousand soldiers who assimilated quickly and had some combat capability, forming them into three corps totaling more than twenty combined brigades.

Of these two hundred thousand soldiers, there were over ten thousand from Iridium Star who, as the backbone forces of the United Empire Army Star Battle Army, led other newly joined soldiers from various civilizations in combat.

As for the United Empire Army Universe Army side, it was basically a formality. Most of the crew members were still puzzled by these warships built by Iridium Star, with crew members from less advanced civilizations not even clear on the operating principles of these warships. Even model crew members from Iridium Star needed some time to get used to these brand new warships. Thus, at least for the moment, although these warships had anywhere from a few dozen to thousands of crew members aboard, the actual operations were still handled by the AI.

Zero understood why Bai Zhongqi had established the seemingly burdensome and thankless United Empire Army, “At least, by arming the United Empire Army, all civilizations have shown their willingness and involvement, Chancellor. You want to create shared memories of advancing and striving together, to strengthen other civilizations’ identification with the United Empire in the galactic Iridium Star United Empire. I think, judging from the current situation, it has been successful.”

Bai Zhongqi smiled faintly and said, “I hope so, I haven’t set any particular goals for the United Empire Army, nor do I have high expectations. I will be happy if the United Empire Army can really develop.”

All of the United Empire Army’s weapons and warships were products of the Supreme Command, just like the weapons from Iridium Star, meaning no matter where the soldiers came from or what they thought, they were ultimately controlled by Bai Zhongqi.

In each of the United Empire Army’s warships, geared up soldiers holding their weapons were a bit startled because their warships had already arrived at Tianduo Star.

“Why did we arrive in the blink of an eye?”

“Uh, it seems that all warships of the United Empire Army are equipped with jump capabilities, meaning we can appear directly at any location in the Galaxy just from the coordinates,” they replied.

“Such technology exists?”

“Wow, the people from Iridium Star are really incredible.”

The soldiers, gradually improving in familiarity and tacit understanding, were quietly discussing among themselves, facing a clear planet in front of them, now engulfed by a terrifying swarm of Insectoids.

The soldiers’ senior officer was also tense but feigned confidence and complete control as he instructed his soldiers, “Stay sharp! Don’t fear those insects. The Chancellor has already controlled a swarm, proving that a swarm disaster can be defeated, even tamed. Although those insect eggs are dangerous, we have developed Powered Individual Armor using a Ray Energy Field to block the insect eggs. Keep your armor powered on; no insect egg can penetrate your body.”

“Our mission is simple, land on Tianduo Star and exterminate the Insectoids there. Remember, we are the righteous side here to save Tianduo Star. Pay attention to protecting the local victims and evacuate them if possible. Our firepower is strong, remember to call for backup if you can’t hold on. This is the United Empire Army’s first battle. Let’s do it!”
