Within the 3,000-second difference arm-8 star zone, Bai Zhongchu directly built a large cross-star zone star gate here, along with this place and the Orion arm. This is also the second navigation route that the Orion Arm can communicate with the outside world, and it also allows more manpower and material resources from Iridium to be deployed here for Bai Zhongchu's use.

The Star Gate is built on a planet that has been destroyed by the swarm, the planet Ma'ao. This planet originally belonged to the Jinxi civilization, but now it has been completely deserted, only some buildings built by the original Jinxi civilization, and no signs of life exist.

Bai Zhongfu released a large number of concocted animals and plants here, and there were even many of them that were swarms of beasts.

The Iridium people used the buildings and facilities of the original Jinxi civilization to reconstruct their own style of cities and institutions.

Diplomats and military attachés from different civilizations now work in Ma'ao as liaison between the United Empire and various civilizations, coordinating the governance affairs of various civilizations.

Su Shuang and Sokshaw are now each wearing a new style of military uniform, which makes Su Shuang, who is used to gorgeousness, and Sokshaw, who is used to being casual, not very accustomed.

"This dress doesn't seem to be quite the same as the Iridium people's own military uniform." Su Shuang tugged at his sleeves, seemingly preferring a wide robe with big sleeves.

Sokshaw said: "Because this military uniform is the military uniform of the Unified Imperial Army that is still under construction, and it is different from the Iridium Army under the command of the real Bai Zhongfu. Last night, I had a general understanding of the Iridium people's new military strategy, and their original Imperial Army, that is, the army composed of those Iridium people, will be renamed the Iridium Army, and the strength of about sixty strategic fleet groups will be formed, and it will take time to complete the formation. And under Bai Zhongchu's own command, there is also an unmanned fleet under the command of the Supreme Command, and a swarm fleet, which are called the Guards Legion and the Blade Legion respectively. No one knows the exact number of troops of these two corps, but I estimate that from what we have seen in the past, the strength of these two corps is at least above 100 strategic fleet groups. ”

Su Shuang sighed faintly, looked at the tall Iridium-style buildings in the city, and sighed: "Although I don't want to admit it, I'm afraid Bai Zhongchu really has the qualifications to become the overlord of the galaxy." The size of such a fleet, coupled with the Unified Imperial Army he was going to build, would be even more powerful than the previous High Council and the Galactic Empire. ”

Sokshaw comforted him: "At least we play in such a force, and the future development may be good." ”

Su Shuang said: "If the Iridium United Empire is really allowed to complete the hegemony of pan-galacticization, then they will adopt a dual management system of internal and external services, the core of which is their Iridium internal service, all the planets in the Orion Arm Big Star Region, and a few directly governed planets in the other Big Star Regions; The outer service will be all the civilizations in the galaxy that join the civilization of the Iridium United Empire, the sovereign ownership is the United Empire, the head of state is Bai Zhongchu, and they have a certain or even relatively large autonomy, but they have given up their own military rights, and the military power of all the foreign service civilizations will be concentrated in the unified imperial army and managed by the Iridium people. ”

Sokshaw laughed, "At least this way, the Iridium people will be able to achieve a large degree of peace in the galaxy." It seems that Bai Zhongchu's speech is still a little credible, he said that he wants to bring peace and stability to the galaxy, and he will probably really bring it. ”

Su Shuang smiled coldly: "Don't believe too much in the discipline of these so-called civilization leaders, they will only do things when they feel that it is beneficial." Bai Zhongchu is willing to push his so-called pangalactic United Empire, not because he can make these civilizations feel beneficial and support his United Empire. ”

"Sushuang, you're too shady, but I think there's some truth to what you're saying."

The two of them then entered the headquarters of the Unification Imperial Army in Ma Aoxing, where there was already a wave of officers who had chosen to join the Iridium United Empire civilization.

To the slight surprise of the two, they saw a god general who had been named in the Divine General Pavilion here, Sai Weidong from the advanced civilization Antioch civilization.

"I didn't expect that the ten gods of the Big Ten would have survived in addition to the deserter Sanlin Luzhi, who had surrendered to the United Empire, so he escaped with his life?" Sai Weidong, who is only ranked 30 years away, is not friendly to Su Shuang and Sokshaw.

"You're not the same as the Iridium."

"No, I joined the United Empire of Iridium with my civilization." Sai Weidong said proudly.

Sokxiao sneered: "How do I remember that when you were in the Divine General's Pavilion, you still turned your face with your civilization, and now you have found your civilization and become a loyal dog, don't you feel a little pain in your face?" ”

Sai Weidong looked resentful, but his mouth trembled and he didn't say anything to refute it.

"Hmph, I heard that you two have only been assigned the rank of lieutenant colonel to lead the cruiser as captain, so you two will salute when you see me in the future. I was assigned to the rank of colonel, became the captain of the capital ship class, and was qualified to command the formation. ”

Sokshaw gave him a military salute very sloppily, and his movements were impeccable and meticulous.

Sai Weidong was a little surprised by Sokshaw's bachelor, but Sokshaw said: "Now you are my superior, and it is my duty to salute you." But when you were a god general, you have always stayed at my feet, and if the unified imperial army is a fair place to look at military merit promotion, then I believe that it is useless, and you will have to salute me. ”

He stepped over Sai Vidon's shoulder and said, "Cherish the time when I want you to salute, because it can be quite brief. ”

When he crossed over, Savidon's face was flushed, but he couldn't do anything. After all, they are all new to the Unification Imperial Army, and if they do something out of the ordinary, they will likely be punished by the commanders of Iridium.

Su Shuang followed Sokshaw away and said to Sokshaw, "I didn't salute him. ”

Sokshaw snorted and said, "You're clever." ”

When the two arrived at the officer's lounge, they received a new message.

"His Majesty Bai Zhongchu, the head of the Iridium United Empire, will hold a signing ceremony for 143 civilizations to join the Iridium United Empire in Ma'ao Star, witnessing the moment when 143 civilizations join Iridium."

Su Shuang was silent for a while, and said, "Are there already 143 civilizations?" ”

"At a time when the swarm could be wiped out at any moment, the United Iridium Empire was almost the last straw they could grasp."

"If this continues, I'm afraid that the previous giant civilizations will have to invest in ......"
