Chapter 284 277 The Last Three Days of Peace (Part 3)

Bai Zhongqi walked into the joint command center in Earth's orbit. All high-ranking officers and staff officers of the Universe Army stood up and saluted him.

Xu Lanzhou stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, all fleets of the Universe Army have assembled and are either already deployed or in the process of deploying to designated areas. We are prepared and ready to fight a desperate battle with the enemy at any time."

Bai Zhongqi's expression was calm. He looked seriously at the beautiful commander and said word by word, "I do not need you to fight to the death or desperately; I want to win."

On a large screen slightly to the right of the center of the command center, all the combat vessels of the Star Alliance Universe Army were marked. Looking at the small icons representing the warships, which were identical to those in a video game, Bai Zhongqi felt somewhat surreal. However, he was well aware that he was not playing a game, but rather, he was staking the fate of the entire planet and civilization, battling for the safety and welfare of now eight billion people (including those from other planets) of the Star Alliance.

Bai Zhongqi instructed everyone to do their jobs, while he himself merely observed from the sidelines, with Zero standing beside him, accompanying the Chancellor.

Zero, looking at the screen showing all the warships, exclaimed, "In just over a year, you have managed to build a collection of weaponry that many civilizations could only accumulate over centuries or even millennia. Although Iridium Star's technology played a significant role, you organized the previously scattered Earth and directed all of its forces in one direction, training over four hundred thousand indigenous people who knew nothing about universe navigation into Universe Army soldiers in just over a year. This kind of boldness and skill is beyond what most people can achieve."@@@@

Bai Zhongqi did not deny how much effort he had put into building the Star Alliance Universe Army and how much thought he had spent integrating officers and soldiers from different countries and races into a unified collective. He dared not boast that there were no internal issues and that the combat effectiveness of the current Universe Army was extremely high. However, he was quite certain that the current Star Alliance Universe Army was definitely a capable fighting force.

Although the more than 700 warships were slightly fewer than the 1,000 of Teizene's first invasion fleet, the Star Alliance was extraordinarily confident in the performance of their own vessels. They believed their ships had superior firepower and defenses compared to those of the Teizene.

Xu Lanzhou couldn't help but steal glances at Bai Zhongqi, thinking to herself, "The Chancellor truly is the Chancellor, more composed than anyone else during this time. That is expected, after all, he has led Iridium Star for 5,000 years, having experienced so many battles. Although this war might eventually surpass the epic warfare between the Empire and Spiral Mosquito Star in scale, with the Chancellor here, victory is certain."

Although she appeared stoic, her heart was somewhat tumultuous. Originally, as a mere Commodore in the Iridium Star Universe Army, commanding a numbered fleet was the limit of her abilities. But now, as Bai Zhongqi's most trusted Universe Army Commander, she had to coordinate the strategic planning of over 700 warships across dozens of galaxies. While she had often dreamt of being in such a scenario, she had thought it would be something a hundred years in the future. Now, at just over twenty years old, she was overseeing a vast universe war, her palms sweating involuntarily.

"It's okay. The commander of the First Strategic Fleet Group in the Sirius Galaxy is General Sang Jishi from the Military Academy, who has served many years in the Universe Army and has ample experience. Trusting in his strength is definitely the right choice," Xu Lanzhou reassured herself.

In this grand battle, Bai Zhongqi had mobilized every usable resource and person, even the training systems for new crew members and officers. The experienced citizens of Iridium Star were reassigned back to the fleets to oversee their operations. Meanwhile, the Bupinga and other former slaves who wished to fight against Teizene, after receiving some training, now also appeared on the warships.

Even so, Bai Zhongqi still had a large number of undermanned warships, so when the real battle commenced, he would have to control these ships personally, delivering a crushing blow to the enemy.
