Back at the fortress, Yang Yi went to find Shen Chengwen and asked him to mobilize the army.
According to the combat deployment previously discussed with the Queen of Star Souls, the Human Expeditionary Force is mainly responsible for rear protection, that is, responsible for guarding the captured star system after the main army of the Star Weaver tribe goes out, and providing logistical support for the main army of the Star Weaver tribe. Although the twenty legions are not many, they are enough to guard the captured star system after the truce with the Silicon Charm army commanded by Curia. As for logistical support, after the route was opened, it was not a problem at all. All that was needed was to arrange for the warships to escort the transport spacecraft sent by the Yu family to rendezvous with the main force of the Zhixing clan. Because most of the routes are within the control area of Curia, escorting the transport fleet is not too much trouble.
Of course, this is not all. If it's just these things, Yang Yi doesn't need to worry about it at all.
On the way back to the fortress, the Queen of Star Soul approached Yang Yi and proposed that the Human Expeditionary Army should also participate in combat operations, but instead of fighting the main force, it was responsible for clearing the way for the main force of the Star Weaver tribe. In other words, the Human Expeditionary Army only needs to send a few legions, not all dispatched.
Yang Yi did not refuse, and there is no reason to refuse.
In fact, when the Star Soul Queen made this request, Yang Yi thought that this was to guard him, that is, the Star Soul Queen's trust in him had been shaken.
Although a little sad, Yang Yi was already mentally prepared.
Before the expedition began, Yang Yi realized that as both parties achieved their goals, his relationship with the Star Soul Queen would inevitably change. Although it is not going to turn his face directly, it has achieved a crucial victory in the main force of the Star Weavers, and the human expeditionary army has also gained a firm foothold. Parting ways is the inevitable result. The two sides haven't broken yet, just because the Star Weaver Clan's main army has not yet achieved a decisive victory.
The Star Soul Queen has changed, and Yang Yi naturally has to make more preparations.
It can be said that even if the Queen of Star Soul did not raise it, Yang Yi would take the initiative to ask for it. Quite simply, marching into the hinterland of the Northern Alpha Galaxy is not just to deal with the ghost king.
According to Yang Yi's arrangement, only two main legions were dispatched, that is, two legions composed of soldiers.
The force is not very large, but it is sufficient.
Very simple, the main force of the attack is the main force of the Star Weaver Clan commanded by the Star Soul Queen, and the Human Expeditionary Army is just the vanguard, responsible for opening the way in front. The 20,000 soldiers of the two legions are enough to cope with a normal level of battle. If a strong enemy is encountered, the main force of the Weaver Star tribe will come forward to solve it, and the human expeditionary army will not be needed. The point is that the two legions are more flexible and able to cope with various emergencies.
The related work is arranged by Shen Chengwen, so Yang Yi doesn't need to worry about it.
At the same time, the main army of the Star Weavers also began to mobilize before the war.
It must be admitted that the top civilization is the top civilization. At this time, the number of Star Weavers participating in the war has reached 3,000, twice as many as when they entered the North Fourth District!
In fact, this is just the vanguard.
When participating in the war, the Star Weavers only carried out partial mobilization, that is, the standing army was dispatched, and the full-scale war mobilization had not yet been completed. When the Simei army retreated, there were only one thousand Star Weavers who reached the North Fourth District, and only a part of them went into battle. Since then, the Galactic Alliance Council passed a war resolution, and various civilizations began to mobilize for war, and the Star Weavers accelerated the mobilization speed. Before Yang Yi led the human expeditionary army to set off, there were already more than two thousand Star Weavers Legions that arrived in the North Fourth District, and more legions were coming one after another. According to the Star Soul Queen, as long as the war continues, the Star Weavers can mobilize tens of thousands of legions.
Of course, the number of corps invested is not determined by the total number of corps, but by logistics support.
If you are fighting in the North Fourth District, it is definitely not difficult to invest tens of thousands of legions. After all, the demand for logistical support in local operations is not very high. However, when fighting in the Northern Alpha Galaxy opposite the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, logistical support is a huge problem, and it can even be said to be the biggest enemy. You know, it takes more than a month to send equipment and supplies to places more than 10,000 light years away, even with the fastest spacecraft. If you encounter trouble halfway, even if the spacecraft fails, it will inevitably consume more time. If the loss during transportation and the consumption of the transportation spacecraft are counted, the transportation consumption is equivalent to several times the transportation volume.
Obviously, to support the Legion's operations in the Northern Alpha Galaxy, just providing combat supplies is enough trouble.
Among other things, in order to allow the three thousand Star Weavers to fight on the front line, not only the Star Weavers mobilized tens of thousands of spacecraft, the Yu family also invested thousands of spacecraft, and established hundreds of transportation transfer stations along the way. . Even so, the materials delivered to the front lines are barely enough. Although the Star Weavers have mobilized more legions, these legions can only stay in the Southern Alpha Galaxy until the logistical support problem is resolved.
In fact, this is also the key to why the Queen of Star Soul did not turn her face with Yang Yi.
First of all, in terms of logistical support, the Star Weaver Clan still has to rely on the Yu Family, and the Yu Family is allied with Yang Yi, but not with the Star Weaver Family. In other words, if they break with Yang Yi, the Star Weavers will lose the support of the Yu Family and cannot continue to rely on the Yu Family's transport fleet. If relying on its own transport fleet, the Star Weavers can only invest up to two thousand legions in the Northern Alpha Galaxy, and they may not be able to guarantee the provision of combat materials needed to launch an offensive. Obviously, with a thousand legions less and insufficient combat supplies, it is difficult for the Star Soul Queen to do more, let alone achieve a decisive victory. The result is obvious, the Queen of Star Soul must maintain the relationship with Yang Yi.
Secondly, for the battle of the Northern Alpha galaxy, the three thousand star-weavers are obviously not too many, and it can even be said to be pitiful. You should know that in the previous Greenwich Wars, there were as many as tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of silicium armies that invaded the Southern Alpha Galaxy. Even if the Star Weaver Legion is better at offensive and has stronger combat effectiveness, it will not be able to achieve a decisive victory without enough troops. Besides, in the latter part of the last Greenwich War, the Galactic Alliance counterattacked the Northern Alpha Galaxy, and the Human Federation alone dispatched tens of thousands of legions, only forcing the Silicon Magic Alliance to sign an armistice agreement without real victory. From this it can be seen that it is almost impossible to rely on three thousand Star Weavers to achieve a decisive victory. When it is impossible to continue to send more legions, even if the human expeditionary force is less powerful, the Star Soul Queen has no choice. It is better to let the human expeditionary force take on part of the combat mission than to stay behind.
In addition, there are many factors that make the Star Soul Queen worry. For example, Yang Yi controlled a top warlord and was able to influence the warlord through this top warlord, so as to obtain a lot of information that even the hidden spirits could not obtain, and it was related to the victory or defeat of the war. For another example, Yang Yi has already gained the support of the Hidden Spirits. Even if Barnes leaves temporarily, as long as his relationship with the Hidden Spirits is not broken, he can obtain the full support of the Hidden Spirits through Barnes. Obviously, the information possessed is of great value. For another example, Yang Yi has received support from many forces in the Human Federation, including the Yu Family, and can expand the expeditionary force at any time.
Combining these factors, the Queen of Star Soul can only continue to befriend Yang Yi.
Of course, the main force must be the Star Weavers, and the human expeditionary army commanded by Yang Yi is just fighting.
Three days later, Yang Yi gave the order to start.
Although Shen Chengwen was reluctant in every possible way, but under Yang Yi's order, he could only stay behind the fortress. Of course, Yang Yi also made a promise, that is, he has given Yuyang an order to let Yuyang follow the next transport fleet to the fortress. In other words, after Yuyang arrives, Shen Chengwen will be able to hand over the work of the fortress to him, and then go to rendezvous with Yang Yi. Before that, Shen Cheng heard that he stayed behind and presided over the overall situation.
Because it was a pioneer, the Human Expeditionary Army set off one day in advance.
"Really not going to bid farewell to the queen?"
"Is it necessary?" Yang Yi glanced at Lin Feng and said, "Besides, it's not really saying goodbye. If nothing else, the main force of the Star Weaver Clan will soon catch up. Besides, we and the Queen The relationship is different from the past. It’s better to keep some distance. Even if it can be maintained, it is only on the surface. When this expedition is over, I’m afraid there will be a break."
Lin Feng sighed secretly, his expression dimmed.
It's not that she doesn't understand the current situation, but she just feels a little sorry. In her opinion, no matter what the future is, at least until then, the Star Soul Queen has given them enough help, and at the most critical time, that is, when they are most helpless, it is the Star Soul Queen who has stood up, not other people. However, Lin Feng knew very well that the Star Soul Queen helped them not because they valued them, but because they were valuable, that is, to achieve their goals by helping them. Obviously, the Star Soul Queen has achieved her goal. As for whether the relationship can be maintained, and how long it can last, Lin Feng didn't have much illusions, or even thought about it.
As the "Xinghai" set sail, ten small warships carrying two legions also left the pier one after another.
The Yu family is already building a fast battleship for Yang Yi. Although it is not as good as the "Xinghai", it is certainly much better than the "Shadow", and it is not inferior to the "Xinghai" in many aspects. For example, it is also equipped with space. Compression equipment, as well as offensive and defensive weapons directly driven by combat troops. Yang Yi has already proposed to the Star Soul Queen to return the "Xinghai" to the Star Weavers after the completion of the new battleship. It's not that Yang Yi doesn't need the "Xinghai" ship, but that he doesn't owe too much to the Star Soul Queen.
Of course, the "Xinghai" is still Yang Yi's flagship.
After sending the final signal to the fortress command center, the "Xinghai" opened the space jump channel. Yang Yi left the bridge at this time. Although he had always been calm, Lin Feng had long felt that he was not calm at all, and even a little abnormal.
This is not just an expedition, but also a beginning.
