If defeated in such numbers, especially in this pivotal battle, even facing death in interstellar space, the entire Blue Star wouldn’t rely mourn in every ho, with everyone clothed in mourning garnts, the very courage and backbone of civilization might crumble.
Even if a second army of this caliber could be assembled, it wouldn’t possess the sa spirit and morale, becoming only a desperate bunch in despair.
The general populace might not have a clear understanding of this, yet they can feel the significance of this expedition.
Victory ans light for humanity.
Failure forebodes a future of imnse darkness.
As always, aboard the warship away from Blue Star, Shen Shi linked through consciousness to send a ssage to the entire army, including the new recruits.
However, compared to the first expedition, this ti, Shen Shi’s transmitted ssage was very succinct.
"This cosmos harbors countless miracles and hopes, as well as countless disasters and despair, and we stand as the resistance to disaster and guardians of hope for the civilization and ourselves. Hence, this battle will not be the end, nor the final battle. It marks the beginning of our legendary journey, becoming the true guardians of civilization!"
Such a clear ssage nonetheless provoked an effect not weaker than the previous ti.
Because Shen Shi narrowed down the war’s significance that concerns humanity’s fate.
He urged the warriors to focus more on the future rather than fear the present.
This was also thanks to the victory in the last battle, and thanks to the Human Federation’s promotion regarding the last Interstellar War over the past half month.
There’s nothing to fear.
Humanity possesses more powerful equipnt, stronger weapons, better intelligence; if their predecessors could achieve victory, so can they!
After ten hours of navigation, the warship soon arrived near Jupiter.
This ti, without stopping, Shen Shi even ordered the captain’s visual feed to be shared with everyone on the warship, allowing all the recruits to witness the vast cosmos, to experience firsthand their surroundings, and to truly realize they were far from the world they once belonged to, entering an unbounded, expansive realm.
Once they were past Jupiter and comnced Curvature Navigation, the grueling training naturally followed.
Unlike the previous ti, needing various thods to boost the warriors’ morale, this ti, the veterans’ morale was the best encouragent.
After all, the recruits weren’t independently selected as ship captains and individually assigned to different warships. This ti, the captains of the new warships were all chosen from commanders who excelled in the previous campaigns; they were inherently outstanding, and they proved themselves in the prior battles, not being lone commanders but each leading a batch of elite warriors. They not only beca core commanders of new warships but also instructors, training the new recruits.
With such a group of veterans training the newcors, Shen Shi felt quite reassured.
Thus, during this period, he didn’t excessively concern himself with the recruits’ situation.
Only after half a month of Curvature Navigation did he gather the captains for an inquiry.
"The warriors are very enthusiastic about training," said a captain nad Zhuang Wenfu. "Although there are no enemies yet, simulated battles and captured Worren warriors motivate them. In addition, we’ve organized fleet competitions based on warships, engaging in various simulated confrontations with rich rewards. This not only enhances the warriors’ enthusiasm but also improves their unity."
This Zhuang Wenbin, thirty-eight years old, previously served as an officer on Blue Star with the rank of Major. His leadership and Primordial Energy talent were very prominent.
Post the previous battle, Shen Shi promoted him as his chief command assistant.
Together with the other dozen outstanding and capable commanders, Shen Shi focused on developing them, even amidst busy schedules, sparing ti to impart so interstellar combat experiences and tactics taught by Gong Chu to them.
This was also a teaching from Gong Chu.
In interstellar warfare, a fleet is best to have one soul but cannot solely rely on one competent commander.
Since dividing forces is common in interstellar battlefields, and once divided, it’s hard to maintain communication, thus the ability of the detached fleet to complete missions relies heavily on command skills.
In fact, this has a resemblance to wars in the cold weapon era.
A commander’s skill greatly influences the outco of wars.
Cultivating more junior commanders is a task that every corps leader must undertake, including his Dongfeng Corps as well.
"Keep tightening the training, including yourselves. The upcoming enemies vastly outnumber us, and at least before the battle begins, we must leverage more than 80% of the warship’s performance!" After Shen Shi finished speaking, he turned to another person, "Old Li, how about the construction crew accompanying the fleet? How is their mood and condition?"
