Sorry, My Interstellar Fleet Only Recruits Women

"Stationed?"

"Why?" A general from the Aalborg Federation looked at his commander with a puzzled expression upon hearing the news.

"This is an order."

"Why so many whys?" The commander of the Aalborg Federation glared at his subordinate.

The subordinate scratched his head helplessly and said, "I know about this. I shouldn't have asked."

However, our original plan was to launch a blitzkrieg and then withdraw.

The soldiers below were also aware of this mission.

Now they're suddenly saying they want us to stay here.

There has to be an explanation, doesn't there?

After all, we brought them all this way here.

Fight against completely unfamiliar enemies.

In the previous battles, our casualties were not high, so there's no problem.

But then the enemy will inevitably launch a fierce counterattack, and once our casualties rise...

That would inevitably affect morale.

"Well... there needs to be at least one convincing reason."

Hearing his subordinate's explanation.

The commander of the Aalborg Federation paused, looked in the direction of the Ice Star Empire, and said to his subordinates, "According to our latest information..."

The Ice Star Empire launched this attack in response to our attack.

They have no intention of withdrawing troops from the front lines.

"Not withdrawing from the front lines?"

"Where did they get their troops to intercept us?" the subordinate asked, puzzled.

"Deploy troops locally."

The second prince of the Ice Star Emperor first forcibly conscripted the private soldiers of various nobles, as well as mercenaries, plus some soldiers who had not yet been sent to the front lines.

They formed the first wave of troops to intercept us.

"After that, they also planned to draw soldiers from every household in the civilian population," said the commander of the Aalborg Federation.

The subordinate's eyes widened: "Has the Ice Star Empire gone mad?"

Do they realize that doing this will cause unrest among the domestic population?

If we are not careful, a large-scale civil uprising could break out!

By then, we will face both internal and external troubles.

Many empires throughout history collapsed under such circumstances!

The commander of the Aalborg Federation nodded: "That's right."

They are truly insane.

They are taking a huge gamble.

A gamble is being taken on the fact that our troops can intercept our attacks and even offer a chance to recapture lost territory.

At the same time, the front-line troops can break through the Frost Dragon Kingdom's defenses with overwhelming force and take over the Frost Dragon Kingdom.

Is this what they're thinking?

Are they dreaming?

I don't know if it was a dream.

But what we need to do is shatter their beautiful illusions.

Since they've put themselves on the edge of a cliff, we might as well give them a push.

They forced conscription.

Then we'll stay here and hold out.

If only we could stay here for one more day.

That would intensify public resentment in the Ice Star Empire.

The fact that the second prince of the Ice Star Empire dared to forcibly conscript soldiers from the common people brought the Ice Star Empire even closer to the brink of disaster.

So now you understand why we're stationed here.

After hearing this,

The subordinates also realized what was going on.

This is a very reasonable strategic deployment.

The subordinate then cautiously asked, "What about our domestic situation?"

I had heard about it before.

The Kingdom of Gebuchi has allied with the forces in the west.

They've already been quietly mobilizing troops.

If they launch an attack now...

We have no chance to retreat.

The commander of the Aalborg Federation looked at the sky and said, "About this."

The royal family of our Kingdom of Aalborg contacted me directly.

Everything was done in accordance with the instructions of Marshal Chu Xuan and Marshal Medusa.

I heard that.

It was King Joffrey who directly contacted our royal family and made a promise.

No matter what happens, the Dragon Kingdom will back us up.

It turns out there was a promise from the King of the Falcon.

Then everything makes sense.

"It seems we'll have to postpone our return home." The subordinate stretched.

A mocking expression appeared on his face: "But I'd like to see what happens when we push an empire into the abyss with our own hands."

From then on.

The three JF-17 fighter jets originally planned to fight and then leave.

They have completely taken root in the backyard of the Ice Star Empire.

The army of the Ice Star Empire soon marched to the north.

They launched an attack on the lost territory.

However, they found those cities to be extremely difficult to conquer.

Although they discovered that the intelligence claimed there were 500,000 enemy troops, there were actually fewer than 300,000.

However, these 300,000 enemy troops were well-equipped.

Moreover, it is under heavy firepower cover, and there are even fighter jets providing support from the air.

And the fire dragon attack helicopters that had appeared on the front lines against the Frost Dragon Kingdom appeared on the battlefield they were preparing to attack.

This put immense pressure on them.

They were unable to capture these cities for a long time.

This prompted the second prince of the Ice Star Empire to order the second phase of the plan to proceed.

That means continuing to recruit soldiers.

All veterans with prior military service experience are required to enlist.

Then, based on the previous requirements, both nobles and commoners needed to provide some more able-bodied men as soldiers.

These recruits, who had almost no combat capabilities, were given a gun and sent to the battlefield after less than 24 hours of actual training.

These are the real cannon fodder.

even.

The second prince also released all the criminals from prisons across the country.

They forced them to retreat and formed a suicide squad, charging forward with guns in hand.

Behind them was an armored vehicle and a heavy machine gun.

Anyone who dares to point their gun behind them will be torn to shreds by the heavy machine gun without hesitation.

Under these decrees.

Public resentment in the Ice Star Empire is growing daily.

In some cities, small-scale conflicts have even broken out.

As a result, the Ice Star Empire began to implement a curfew policy.

The frontline battlefield of the Frost Dragon Kingdom, on which the Ice Star Empire placed high hopes.

However, they failed to deliver a satisfactory result.

With the advance of a million-strong army.

The average daily progress is less than one kilometer.

It takes several days to take down a city.

The Frost Dragon Kingdom has set up battle positions in every city, every mountain, and every defensible location along its borders.

It is not required that every position must be defended to the death.

Instead, a time limit is given.

for example.

You must hold this hilltop position for at least one day.

Once the day is up, you can come down.

For example, your city must hold out for three days.

If the city falls within three days, you will be a traitor.

If three days have passed, you can abandon the city.

Then you'll be greeted with a victory banquet and medals.

Under this policy.

Those soldiers who held their ground actually saw a significant increase in their combat effectiveness.

Because they have hope of survival.

Although they are not afraid of death, how could they not yearn to live?

Despite losing territory every day, the Frost Dragon Kingdom maintained extremely high morale under these circumstances.

Furthermore, daily battle reports were sent to each defensive position.

Look.

The combat squad on a certain hilltop successfully withstood the enemy's attack for twelve hours as required!

See that!

There are five hundred men on this very defensive line.

They managed to hold off 10,000 enemy soldiers for five hours!

It was through the time gained by these layers of defense that...

That's what allowed the Frost Dragon Kingdom to achieve its current victory.

Of course, a large part of this is also due to the continuous supply of weapons and equipment.

Bullets, shells, and firearms are all supplied without limit.

And weapons like tanks, armored vehicles, and heavy artillery.

Although the quantity is a bit small.

But the quality is just so-so!

The most important part is fighter jets and bombers.

Because there is no aerial threat.

Therefore, as long as the fighter jets and bombers from the Frost Dragon Kingdom fly at low altitudes, there is not much risk involved.

And when several behemoths appeared in the sky above the battle line.

That only fueled the despair of the Ice Star Empire and the new faction's armies.

That was the Annie airship!

When tens of thousands of explosives fell from the sky, it was like the end of the world for the enemy army.

It was with the support of these factors that it was possible.

The entire Frost Dragon Kingdom is united in purpose.

They held out for a month since the start of the full-scale war.

King Phoenix was in the command room of a bunker relatively close to the front lines.

You can hear the explosions from the front lines here.

King Phoenix liked to command battles from a location very close to the front lines.

In fact, there was a lot of criticism from the subordinates.

However, this was at the insistence of King Phoenix.

The reason is simple.

As the king of a country, his soldiers fought desperately to defend the front lines.

If you hide in a safe place behind the scenes, how can you convince the people and soldiers of your determination to fight to the death?

He wanted everyone to know.

He, the Frost Dragon King, was always with these soldiers.

"Have the battle reports for today come out yet?" King Phoenix asked his adjutant.

The adjutant handed over a cup of coffee.

I've lost count of how many cups I've had today.

King Phoenix drank the bitter coffee; he had grown accustomed to its bitter taste, just like plain water.

The adjutant took out several reports and said, "Reports from the front lines have arrived."

The defense time on each front is within our plan.

No major problems occurred.

Regarding casualties.

More than 3,000 people died.

More than 2,000 people were seriously injured, and more than 5,000 others were injured to varying degrees.

"The proportion of seriously injured is very high." King Phoenix frowned.

"Yes.

The enemy's attack was fierce, and our soldiers' fighting spirit was also strong.

"Some soldiers even wanted to die on the front lines they were defending, but were pulled down by their own comrades," the adjutant sighed.

"We should have a lot of seriously wounded soldiers by now."

"Can the rear withstand it?" King Phoenix asked seriously.

He didn't just focus on the good situation on the front lines; he also cared about the condition of the seriously wounded.

The adjutant's expression was somewhat grave: "To be honest, the hospitals in the rear are under a lot of pressure."

Currently, every hospital in our rear area is operating beyond its capacity.

The reception rate has basically reached 1:1.5.

Doctors and nurses are working non-stop.

One to one and a half.

This means that a hospital that could originally accommodate 1,000 seriously injured patients has now received 1,500.

That's a full 50% more!

"But it's alright."

Regarding medicines, the Kingdom of Xiaolong has always ensured a stable supply.

It has never stopped.

We ensure that our hospitals have at least 48 hours' worth of medication reserves.

In addition, they also supported many medical teams.

They even converted several cargo ships into hospital ships.

They secured 5,000 beds for us.

Without the support of the Dragon Kingdom in this area.

Our healthcare system collapsed long ago.

King Phoenix said with a serious expression, "Remember!"

These seriously injured people are not disposable trash that can be abandoned.

They are an important treasure to us.

Their treatment, care, and subsequent resettlement.

Both are very important.

The compensation for the deceased's family must be paid in full.

If anyone dares to do anything underhanded to me at this time, in these aspects...

This must be dealt with severely!

"Yes!" The adjutant nodded emphatically.

King Phoenix looked out at the night sky. In the distance, towards the battlefront, he could see traces of firelight in the night sky; that was the battlefield.

A battlefield that is fought 24 hours a day.

"Now is the time when those above are suffering the most."

It's not just about the weapons, soldiers, and bullets on the battlefield.

What also matters is morale and public support.

The morale of the people in the Ice Star Empire is about to reach a boiling point.

As long as we get through this period.

"Then victory will be ours!" King Phoenix said firmly.

"clear!"

In the various cities behind the Frost Dragon Kingdom.

It can be said that all industries related to war are operating at full capacity 24 hours a day.

Some factories that manufacture artillery shells have opened up night shifts.

Some workers were urgently recruited and put to work manufacturing weapons and ammunition needed on the front lines.

The shells they produce could land on the enemy's heads within 24 hours.

And at this time.

Police officers patrol the streets 24 hours a day.

Because this is a time when things are particularly prone to go wrong, and even the slightest mishap could lead to great danger.

"I wonder how long this war will last."

"To be honest, I even want to go to the battlefield." A fifty-year-old police officer touched his blind right eye.

If it weren't for his right eye injury and the disapproval of his wife and children, he would probably be one of those fighting on the front lines.

"I heard that the game won't last much longer."

The Ice Star Empire has already begun forcibly recruiting soldiers from the civilian population.

I heard from some of my classmates in border cities that they have caught refugees coming from the other side of the border in the past few days.

"But we fled here because we couldn't accept the current tyranny of the Ice Star Empire!" said the police officer next to him.

"Public sentiment is in turmoil."

A country can't last long like that.

Sudden.

Just then, the sheriff's walkie-talkie on his waist rang.

"Emergency situation."

The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) has uncovered evidence of ***'s embezzlement.

I heard that guy is planning to escape tonight.

Go and arrest them immediately!

Don't let these bastards get away!

"receive!"

The old sheriff pulled out his pistol, checked the bullets, and loaded it.

"These parasites."

They even dared to reach out for help when the country was in peril.

I'd like to see just how much guts he has!
