Two days later, the defenders of Beacon Mars, commanded by Yuyang himself, came to the "Advance" outpost.

According to Yang Yi's request, Yuyang only brought twenty legions, and they were the twenty legions that originally followed Yang Yi to Beacon Mars. Later, all the legions brought by Jackson stayed in Beacon Mars, and were reorganized by Yuyang on the spot and became the garrison of Beacon Mars. Before leaving, Yuyang handed over command to Zhuang Xiwen. He was originally a staff officer at the headquarters, but he was promoted for his outstanding performance in the battle to sweep away the remnants of the enemy. According to Yuyang's arrangement, Zhuang Xiwen's main task is to train the army on Beacon Mars, so that those legions who participated in the defense of Beacon Mars but have not experienced many combat tests can be tempered and serve as Yang Yi's strategic reserve.

In the next three days, the Yu family's transport fleet sent one hundred and eighty legions from dozens of colonial star systems.

It must be admitted that the influence of the Yu family is indeed amazing, and Yu Linglong's organizational ability cannot be underestimated. Although the officers and men of these legions are all militiamen, mostly from the resistance groups in the colonial galaxy, they are well armed and rigorously trained. Even if the combat effectiveness is not as good as the twenty legions brought by Yuyang, it will not be too far behind, at least not under the regular army of the nine theaters.

According to the previous rules, Yu Linglong did not appoint officers to these legions, but Yang Yi appointed them.

It's just that Yang Yi didn't rush to appoint officers, but asked Yuyang to understand the situation of each legion and draw up an officer appointment letter.

Two hundred legions, all stationed in the outpost.

Yan Yikuan had already made arrangements to set aside an area for Yang Yi's legion to be stationed, and also provided several docks for the transport spacecraft to dock. Although Yan Yikuan mentioned that the outpost would be responsible for the daily supply of the legion, Yang Yi did not agree, because he did not want to add trouble to the outpost garrison. This move greatly increased Yan Yikuan's favor towards Yang Yi. Because the outpost garrison itself is in question of its own provisions. Later, as the Yu family transferred enough transport spaceships, Yang Yi also unconditionally provided a large number of daily supplies for the outpost garrison. Although Yang Yi did this just because he didn't want to owe Yan Yikuan a favor, in the eyes of Yan Yikuan and the officers and soldiers stationed at the outpost, Yang Yi was a good person.

Of course. That's all for later.

After all the legions arrived, Yang Yi asked Yuyang to organize the officers of the twenty legions that arrived first.

According to Yang Yi's plan, only these twenty legions followed him to the Northern Alpha Galaxy, not only because these twenty legions were the most powerful in combat, but also because these twenty legions were the most reliable. In a sense, these twenty legions are Yang Yi's guards.

Twenty regiments, with a total of more than 20,000 officers.

The venue was located on the "Star Sea", not in the legion's station, that is, in the outpost.

More than 20,000 people gathered. It was a shocking scene, but all the officers were self-conscious and orderly, and it didn't look so crowded.

"Guys, I think you already know what you're here for. In a few days, we will be at the vanguard of the Northern Alpha system. Yang Yi paused slightly, "Although nominally." We assisted the Weaver reinforcements in their counterattack, but it was the Human Federation that was invaded. It is also the Human Federation that has been ravaged by the war. This is our war, not the Weavers, and not the wars of other civilizations. So here, I want to make it clear to you, don't get your hopes up too much for the Weaver reinforcements, we can only rely on ourselves. I also want to tell you. Whether we win or lose, we will change history and use our actions to write a history that belongs to us! ”

There was silence in the hall of the University, no one cheered, and no one shouted. The faces of the more than 20,000 officers were solemn, and their expressions did not change in the slightest.

Yang Yi was very satisfied with this, because it showed that these officers who had experienced the baptism of war had adapted to the war.

They are no longer rookies when they fought against the Thunder Legion on Slag Star, nor are they novices when they faced thousands of Silicon Phantom Legions on Beacon Mars, they are all veterans, with a steady mental quality, and enough courage and courage to face all kinds of battles.

"This is just the beginning, not the end, and it's far from the end. Because it is impossible for us to wipe out the powerful Silicon Phantom Alliance with a single battle, or even open the door to the North Alpha System with a single victory, I will only lead the legions under your command on an expedition to the North Alpha System this time, to be precise, to lead soldiers who are willing to follow me, who are willing to fight side by side with me, and who are willing to face powerful enemies with me. Of course, I'm sure all of you here are no exception. Yang Yi's gaze swept from the venue, "It's just that I also believe that in the troops under your command, there must be some soldiers who are not fully mentally prepared." So the first thing I want to say is that you should go back to your units after the meeting and tell all the soldiers what I am going to say next. ”

At this time, more than 20,000 officers were staring at Yang Yi, waiting for Yang Yi to continue.

"This expedition can be said to be nine deaths, or even ten deaths. You have followed me, defeated the mighty Thunderling Legion on Slag Planet, withstood the frenzied attack of the Silicon Phantom army on Mars, and you have fulfilled your duties as a human soldier and contributed to the defense of the home of the Human Federation. I have no right to ask you to make more sacrifices, so I now give you a chance to choose freely. Not just your soldiers, but all of you here. Because this choice is a matter of life and death, and your future, I hope that you will make a decision after full consideration, and I do not want anyone to regret it. ”

"General, we've made a decision."

"Yes, we've made a decision."

As one officer spoke, more than 20,000 officers spoke in unison.

Yang Yi nodded slightly and said, "I believe that you have made a choice with your actions when you came here and came to me. It's just that it's not just you, it's your soldiers as well, so I ask you to go back to your unit and tell the soldiers below what I said. Moreover, this is not a request, but an order. Whatever choice you make, let every soldier under your command make his own choice. After leaving this outpost and embarking on an expedition to the Northern Alpha system, no one, including me, could turn back. I cannot guarantee victory at the helm of you, nor can I guarantee that I will return home alive, so I have no right to order you to go with me, let alone to demand sacrifices. The only thing I can guarantee is that whether it is victory or destruction, I will fight side by side with you, life and death! I also hope that the people who accompany me in the battle are soldiers who have no regrets. ”

"Follow the general to the death!"

"Follow the general to the death!"

……

More than 20,000 mouths shouted at the same time, and even the floor under their feet shook.

You know, this is not just more than 20,000 officers, but also more than 20,000 soldiers. In the legions commanded by Yang Yi, only the officers of these twenty legions were all soldiers.

In fact, this is also the key to the strength of these twenty legions.

Don't forget, before the outbreak of the war, the Human Federation had a total of 10,000 soldiers. Because the top civilizations such as the Lei Ling Clan and the Hidden Spirit Clan did not participate in the war, the Weaver Star Clan also signed an alliance treaty with the Human Federation, and the Star Soul Empress supported Yang Yi, not the federal authorities, so until now, in addition to the twenty legions commanded by Yang Yi, the total number of soldiers in the nine war zones was only about 20,000.

In a sense, these soldiers are Yang Yi's capital.

Not only is the combat power of 20,000 soldiers not to be underestimated, as long as there is a need, Yang Yi can form more legions based on these soldiers at any time. Quite simply, under normal circumstances, only the commander and a few high-ranking officers in a legion are soldiers, and more than 20,000 soldiers are enough to command thousands of legions.

Not to mention in the Human Federation, even in the entire Galactic Alliance, thousands of legions commanded by warmen should not be underestimated.

Of course, Yang Yi needed more than just a few thousand legions.

After experiencing the battle between Slag Star and Beacon Mars, Yang Yi has realized that the strength of the army is not the key, but the combat effectiveness of the legion is the key.

It can even be said that valuing military strength rather than combat power is a key problem that the Human Federation has never solved in the past thousands of years. Quite simply, the Human Federation has never been short of soldiers, and even thousands of years ago, it was able to mobilize and arm hundreds of millions of soldiers during war. During the Fifth Greenwich War, it even armed two billion soldiers, with the largest military force in the Galactic Alliance. However, the Human Federation has always been insignificant, because the Human Legion only has numbers, not strong combat power. Although in most battlefields, force can compensate for the shortcomings of combat power, in some specific battlefields, especially in key battles, force is of little significance. Take the Fifth Greenwich War as an example, in the battle led by the Wanluo War Emperor and the Heavenly Saint Emperor that decided the outcome of the war, the Human Legion was not even qualified to participate, because the Human Legion did not have an emperor-level powerhouse.

Obviously, in order to change this situation and make the Human Federation relevant, it is not a few thousand legions that are needed, but enough soldiers.

What if Yang Yi commanded not twenty legions, but two hundred thousand soldiers?

You must know that even the top civilization of the Lei Ling Clan, which can produce small origin energy converters, has never organized 200,000 soldiers to launch a campaign. In the past 5,000 years, there has never been a single battle in which 200,000 soldiers were fought at the same time. It's not that there aren't so many soldiers, it's that no one can command and command so many soldiers at the same time.

Of course, in Yang Yi's view, it is not a problem at all for the commander to fight with the commander-in-command.

Yang Yi didn't talk nonsense anymore and asked Yuyang to announce the dismissal of the meeting.

In front of more than 20,000 officers, Yuyang would not question Yang Yi's decision, but he couldn't understand Yang Yi's decision at all. (To be continued.) )
