Sorry, My Interstellar Fleet Only Recruits Women

Chapter 2170: The Backyard is on Fire



"It was a spring night, and the chill was about to pass."

But the coastline at night still sent shivers down my spine.

The sea breeze tonight carries a different scent.

At the time, I thought it was just me overthinking.

Later I realized that it was the smell of gunpowder from war.

Those people climbed onto our shore like devils.

Their ships fired their guns from several kilometers away, clearing out our coastal defenses one by one.

They also have fighter jets, bombers, and even helicopters.

What about our air force?

Their runways had long been bombed into a mess.

Those air force veterans didn't even get a chance to take off.

Later, someone asked me how I spent that night.

I am no hero.

I can only tell those who asked me.

By the time I realized what was happening, I had already become their prisoner.

This is something I still feel very fortunate about.

That was an unequal war from the start.

I don't have much affection for the Ice Star Empire either.

Because I didn't belong to a country back then; my hometown was a small port country.

Until the army of the Ice Star Empire appeared, initially they stationed troops in our country, and later a referendum was held.

But I didn't see any ballot box at all.

Only God knows how they calculated those votes.

In short, we inexplicably became subjects of the Ice Star Empire.

The Ice Star Empire doesn't care much about us, in their words.

We are merely lowly second-class citizens.

They're just clinging to us and sucking our blood.

I originally thought that the legendary Dragon Kingdom was like that too.

But later experiences taught me...

My initial judgment was completely wrong.

If I were to return to that battlefield, I would welcome these civilized troops with open arms.

I will open my door to them.

I would welcome them.

If there truly are benevolent gods in this world.

The army of the Dragon Kingdom must be an army sent to the world by the gods.

Okay, that's all for today's diary entry.

The old lady in the next bed is inviting me to the dance again.

To be honest, I still prefer the red-haired old lady, because she has bigger breasts.

This is a diary entry written by a person who experienced this landing operation in later generations.

This landing operation.

It only lasted one night.

The most difficult point, A, was controlled by the army of the Dragon Kingdom.

Points B and C are slightly later.

The latest point, C, was the battle that didn't end until the afternoon of the following day.

Three hundred thousand troops thus trampled upon the territory of the Ice Star Empire.

wrong.

From this moment on, this is no longer the territory of the Ice Star Empire.

"What are the losses?" Marshal Medusa asked the commanders of the two allied forces.

"Our Aalborg Federation suffered 3,500 casualties."

"Our Baljik Kingdom suffered five thousand casualties." When the Baljik general uttered this number, he actually felt a sense of shame.

In the past, this would have been a landing operation.

With a casualty rate of only 5%, he'd probably celebrate for three days and three nights.

But now.

This data, however, made him feel ashamed.

As far as he knew, the JF-17's losses were less than three hundred men!

Three hundred people!

Is this a landing operation?

Those who didn't know the situation might think it was a war of annihilation.

However, only those who experienced that battle know the truth.

That night, the JF-17 Navy's artillery fire almost never stopped.

There was also the bombing by armed helicopters and bombers.

This rendered the enemy's shore fortifications virtually useless.

It was only with such powerful firepower support that they were able to complete this landing operation with such minimal losses.

"very good.

The losses for everyone were not significant.

We have now completed the login process.

The Ice Star Empire must have learned of our news as well.

A series of countermeasures will definitely be arranged afterwards.

Our objective is to achieve our original combat objectives before the enemy's large-scale reinforcements arrive.

Within a limited timeframe, destroy several key enemy locations.

Given the limited time.

I plan to split up and act separately.

The two furthest targets.

Hand it over to our JF-17 Army.

The two closer targets, this one is to be handed over to your Aalborg Federation, and this one to your Baljik Kingdom.

Ideally, the operation plan should be completed within three days.

Contact me if you need air force support.

"Is there a problem?" Marshal Medusa looked at the two commanders.

“No problem,” both of them replied without hesitation.

Meeting adjourned.

The Aalborg Federation general disembarked from the warship.

He looked at the beach battlefield that was still being cleaned up.

He looked at the general from the Baljik Kingdom beside him.

"It feels completely different to fight alongside the army of the Dragon Kingdom."

Others would love to send your army as cannon fodder.

But the Dragon Kingdom keeps the most dangerous and toughest challenges for itself.

"yes.

Their soldiers possess a completely different aura.

This feeling is something we soldiers of the Baljik Kingdom have never experienced before.

I used to simply think that the Dragon Kingdom only possessed powerful and advanced weaponry.

But when I saw them fighting.

I realized.

They also possess an army with extremely advanced military thinking and beliefs.

"It seems that our superiors are really wise."

Unlike the Ice Star Empire, it did not choose to stand against the Dragonflight Kingdom.

I don't want to face these powerful and terrifying opponents.

"Who can argue with that?"

After expressing their feelings, the two generals returned to their respective units to hand over the upcoming combat missions.

Although the tasks assigned to them are not the most troublesome, they will still take them seriously.

If things still go wrong like this.

They would be too ashamed to go back then.

Meanwhile, the capital of the Ice Star Empire was in a state of utter chaos.

Inside the council chamber of the capital.

The Ice Star Emperor roared angrily, "Who can tell me why?"

Why did our rear area disappear in just one night?

They lost three port locations!

Are all the garrison commanders in these positions useless?!

Listen to the roar of the Ice Star Emperor.

No one dares to make excuses to speak at this time.

"Now, it is said that there are more than 500,000 troops behind us."

Tell me.

what do I do!

what to do!

You people, when you usually come to me for budget approval...

They all have such talkative little mouths.

"Why aren't you saying anything now!" The Ice Star Emperor roared at the group.

These people had their heads down, each one like a wooden stake.

Until the roar of the Ice Star Empire subsided slightly.

Only then did the experienced old minister dare to step forward and say, "Your Majesty, things have come to this."

It's no longer time to assign blame.

We need to figure out how to deal with this crisis.

According to the information we have received so far, there are 500,000 enemy troops in our rear.

But we now have very few troops stationed in the rear.

And they were all military police officers with little combat experience.

If the other side has any ideas, they might even directly attack our capital.

Regarding this situation, Your Majesty...

We have to be on guard!

"Then what should we do?"

Do you expect me to recall troops from the front lines?

The battle is currently raging on the front lines.

In addition, the new faction is also keeping an eye on us.

If we were to withdraw troops from the front lines at this time...

"This will inevitably give others ammunition to criticize us!" the Ice Star Emperor said irritably.

What you said makes a lot of sense.

However, we cannot completely ignore the situation at home.

"yes.

That's our rear area, after all; there are still many resource-rich and strategically important locations there!

"The enemy is definitely heading for these places."

If we ignore these issues, these places will be like lambs to the slaughter.

That would cause serious problems for our empire's industrial production, raw material industries, and even the most basic operations of the empire!

As one person spoke, others followed suit and expressed their opinions.

"Second brother."

"Tell me your thoughts." The Ice Star Emperor looked at the Second Prince.

The collaboration with the new faction was facilitated by the Second Prince.

His status in the heart of the Ice Star Emperor is now much higher than before.

“Father Emperor.”

Your subject believes.

The fighting on the front lines must not be affected.

"But we can't ignore our rear." The Second Prince stated his thoughts.

“Your Highness, we don’t have enough soldiers right now!” a minister said.

"Who said there are no soldiers?"

As far as I know, besides the military police in various places.

Families in various regions have a long-standing tradition of keeping private armies.

"You must have at least three thousand private soldiers in your household alone!" The Second Prince looked at the high-ranking minister before him.

The minister rolled his eyes but remained silent.

Nobles kept private armies, even though it was forbidden by the authorities.

However, it actually exists within the noble families of various territories.

After all, everyone wants to protect their property, and compared to the military police, having your own private soldiers undoubtedly provides a sense of security.

"We can let bygones be bygones."

But now our empire faces a life-or-death crisis.

If you still harbor these private soldiers, then you are committing treason and harming the country!

Your subject makes the suggestion.

This led to the deployment of eight out of ten private armies of nobles from various regions.

Support the northern battlefield.

If you really don't have a private army, then pay them.

They hired civilian mercenaries and bandits.

"Give them enough money, and they can become a wall of defense against our invading armies on the northern front!"

"But this will kill a lot of people!" Someone saw through the true nature of the plan.

That is using human lives to buy time.

Yes, many people will die.

However, as long as enough time can be delayed.

As long as we can flatten the Frost Dragon Kingdom on the main battlefield.

"Then all these sacrifices are completely worthwhile." The Second Prince's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

The Ice Star Emperor looked at his son.

His ideas were brutal, but in chaotic times, such ideas were necessary.

Moreover, the Ice Star Empire is now standing on the edge of a precipice.

"Let's proceed according to the Second Prince's plan."

Second brother, you are in charge of the overall command of the rear battlefield.

"I hope you can do as well as before and not disappoint me!" the Ice Star Emperor said solemnly.

"Please rest assured, Father."

"Your Majesty, I will never let you down!" the Second Prince said excitedly.

The ministers all felt a sense of unease.

And what happened afterward did indeed confirm their premonition.

The second prince was working to realize his plan.

First, he drew a personal guard from the Emperor of Ice Star.

Then, based on the circumstances of each nobleman, demands were imposed.

for example.

The title of duke requires the provision of at least five thousand private soldiers, who must be fully armed.

They needed guns, as well as thirty days' worth of rations and ammunition.

If there aren't enough private soldiers, the nobleman will have to pay a certain amount per head, which will be used to recruit mercenaries to fill the gap.

If rations and ammunition are insufficient, then money must be paid.

What if you don't have enough money?

I'm sorry.

This is where the personal guards under the Second Prince came into play.

These guards would directly plunder the nobleman's mansion and related property.

The scale of this extortion will far exceed the scale of voluntary payment.

After the second prince looted a duke's mansion, the duke complained to the Emperor of Ice Star.

As a result, the Emperor of Ice Star replied that everything should be done according to the Second Prince's wishes.

This is tantamount to tacitly approving the Second Prince's actions.

Even the Duke's mansion couldn't stop them, let alone others.

The remaining people were basically forced to either hand over their persons or pay money, according to the rules set by the Second Prince.

You know what?

Under these circumstances.

The Second Prince was able to gather nearly 300,000 people in a very short time!

Don't ask how powerful these 300,000 people are; they are 300,000 people anyway.

Then the Second Prince mobilized military police from various regions, as well as some troops prepared to be sent to the front lines.

He actually managed to gather an army of 500,000.

And according to the Second Prince's plan.

After that, they will go to every household to forcibly recruit soldiers, and each household must forcibly conscript one person into the army.

Under this plan, the second prince expects to be able to gather another 300,000 people.

If further developments in the battle require additional manpower, a second round of recruitment will be conducted.

And this first wave of 500,000 men had already set off in a mighty force for the northern battlefield.

And right now.

Several cities on the northern battlefield fought desperately at the behest of the Ice Star Emperor.

However, the JF-17 army also had two other armies launching fierce attacks.

The original combat objectives were achieved in a very short time.

Because they didn't actually encounter much resistance.

After several rounds of bombing by bombers and carpet bombing by heavy artillery, they were subjected to a barrage of bombs.

And then there was the moment when heavy weapons like tanks appeared.

Many of the towns they passed through surrendered immediately.

According to Marshal Medusa and Marshal Chu Xuan's original plan, they would retreat after completing the conquest of the city and the territory.

However, they discovered that the enemy had almost no ability to resist.

At the same time, they learned about the policies of the second prince of the Ice Star Empire.

Marshal Chu Xuan sensed an opportunity.

He then ordered that the occupied cities be garrisoned to resist the enemy's offensive!
