He already had the name in mind, "Alliance National Knights."
Initially, he considered calling them the "Black Arrow Knights," but after some thought, he decided against it. That name was too region-specific and conflicted with the overarching concept of establishing a sense of alliance identity previously set by Gu Hang.
The establishment of the Alliance National Knights wasn't actually about forming a complete military organization. Its main purpose was to provide identity certification and strengthen the sense of honor—the knights on Heijian Star were particularly receptive to this approach.
On the other hand, it involved the professional management of the selection of pilots, as well as the maintenance and specialized logistical support of various aspects of expensive top-tier equipment such as Mecha and Titan.
Furthermore, the creation of the Knights allowed the Alliance to deploy these top weapons flexibly and in a concentrated manner into wars.
