Chapter 322 313 Silver Feather Army's Mentality

Bai Zhongqi's expedition plan, once proposed, sparked some internal discussion within the official Star Alliance. Many believed that the Star Alliance had just undergone a major battle, and although the losses were not particularly severe, it was necessary for the Star Alliance to take some time to recuperate, particularly to completely upgrade Earth, the Capital Star, to an Interstellar Civilization standard, accumulating both the soft and hard power of the Star Alliance before seeking a decisive battle with the enemy. Especially by that time, with the Star Alliance's abnormal manufacturing capacity, the size of the fleet could possibly rival that of the Teizene civilization.

Those in favor of the expedition argued that there was no reason to passively wait for the enemy to come knocking. Especially now that the Star Alliance had gained the loyalty of the Silver Feather Army, adding over two thousand starships capable of combat, while the Teizene civilization's invasion route to the Star Alliance still posed significant risks. According to Commander Xiao Yu's idea, as long as the Star Alliance could destroy several Teizene mid-way forward bases built along this thousand light-years journey, it would be difficult for Teizene to organize a large-scale expedition force against Earth.

Xiao Yu was extremely respectful in front of Bai Zhongqi, a stark contrast to the time he had openly questioned his authenticity as the Chancellor. Xiao Yu even bowed slightly, his inherently non-handsome appearance now seeming even more insidious. Of course, the advantage of this was that it made the image of the Chancellor next to him seem infinitely more grand and handsome.

"We have thoroughly obtained relevant intelligence by decoding the navigation logs and other materials from Teizene warships. The joint chiefs of staff have calculated that this expedition has already imposed a great logistical and economic burden on Teizene. In order to supply this Su Beisi expedition, Teizene invested heavily. His Majesty's encounter with the Teizene people on Bupinga Star confirmed this situation; they even resorted to selling planets to raise military funds," Xiao Yu offered his analysis.

Prime Minister Du Peng asked, "Then is it possible that after such an epic defeat, the Teizene people might give up on further actions against the Star Alliance?"

Xiang Fei, who also did not support the expedition, added, "This war should have provided the Teizene people with enough evidence. Their biggest trump card, Shield Sharing, was broken by us. In the face of our fleet, their ships can only take hits. If they still want to continue the war after this, then these Lizard People must have some problem with their brains."

Bai Zhongqi sat in the center of the meeting room, leaning back in his chair, with his hands crossed, and said calmly, "Our displayed technological advantage is greater, which might be more tempting to the Teizene people, unless this vast advantage exceeds a threshold they can tolerate, they might choose to retreat; otherwise, this can only give them more reasons to attack us and seize everything we have. Teizene is indeed a very powerful civilization, ostensibly a level 22 civilization, but painstakingly disguising itself as a level 17 civilization to invade others and accumulate its own strength. The Danlu Interstellar Cloud is also a prize they would find hard to give up; gaining this Star Region would basically secure their foundation as a High-Level Civilization."

Xiao Yu shamelessly added, "His Majesty is absolutely right, I also believe that the Teizene people will not easily give up this war. These Teizene have the characteristic of not taking action easily, but once they do, they will not easily stop. With the Danlu Interstellar Cloud and Iridium Star technology so valuable, they will continue to entangle with us."

Then Xiao Yu further noted, "This expedition is also a good opportunity to expand the Star Alliance's influence into broader galactic space. The Danlu Interstellar Cloud is indeed uniquely endowed, but with the strength of our Star Alliance, we should not be limited to one Star Region. There are many resource-rich and highly developable galaxies in the Orion's upper spiral arm of the Great Star Zone; we can better expand our civilization and secure more living space for the citizens of the Star Alliance."

Conquest and expansion were achievements almost no emperor or leader could resist, and Bai Zhongqi was no exception. He did not deny the sense of accomplishment it brought, he wanted to see a strong Earth civilization become a significant and renowned presence in the Galaxy.

Moreover, encountering different civilizations and species, witnessing more of the Universe's splendor, was also something Bai Zhongqi had always dreamed of.

At this moment, Nian Deng, who had been parachuted into the high ranks of the Star Alliance, also spoke up, "A group of inferior Lizard People have dared to offend the sacred might of the Great Chancellor, which is absolutely intolerable! The Silver Feather Army, united in our hatred of the enemy, is willing to obliterate the Teizene Civilization for the Chancellor. My Silver Feather Army hopes to mobilize in its entirety, accompanying the Chancellor on the expedition!"

As soon as Nian Deng said this, the high-level members of the Star Alliance in the meeting room were somewhat stunned. In the plan made by Xiao Yu, he had only intended to call up less than half of the Unicorn Warships, but Nian Deng had outright called for all of them.

Bai Zhongqi was initially surprised, but he quickly understood why Nian Deng had made such a request. The Silver Feather Army had long served as the personal army of the Chancellor; wherever the Chancellor was, the Silver Feather Army would fight. Now that the Silver Feather Army had rejoined the Chancellor's side, and with the Chancellor setting out on a campaign, it was clear that it was against the Silver Feather Army's principles to have a large portion of their forces not accompany him.

After four thousand years of roaming through four parallel universes, the Silver Feather Army had lost a proper understanding of the term "stable life." They placed their mission above everything else, so if the Chancellor campaigned, they had to follow. Although the size of the Silver Feather Army was no longer the few thousand white-robed cavalry of the past.

Xiao Yu was also somewhat surprised by this situation, as he had not anticipated the Silver Feather Army's mindset. He immediately looked towards Bai Zhongqi, waiting for his decision.

Bai Zhongqi realized that setting out on an expedition with two thousand Unicorn Warships would wholly change the nature of the mission from what had been planned before. However, as the Silver Feather Army had just joined the Star Alliance and had been wandering for four thousand years, Bai Zhongqi could not bear to deny their wish.

He eventually approved the full mobilization of the Silver Feather Army, but this meant that the number of Universe Army warships would need to be adjusted accordingly. The Universe Army would send out 4 main battle ships and 62 lesser warships, plus he would also bring a significant number of engineering and logistics vessels. Unlike the Teizene expeditionary fleet, Bai Zhongqi only needed a few dozen non-combatant ships to meet all the fleet's needs, even to construct bases and cities on planets.
