Chapter 16 Discordant Meeting
The federal side is headed by the deputy commander-in-chief and commander of the Third Fleet, Dravis first-class*. At this moment, his eyes quickly glanced at the data sent by the unmanned detector before it was destroyed, turned his head and asked, "Have you calculated the number of enemies and the arrival time?"
A staff officer quickly tapped a few times on the keyboard and looked at the calculation results and said, "General, in terms of total quality, the number of enemy warships is more than 50,000! The speed is very fast, and it is expected to reach the longest range that can attack us in about 40 minutes!"
"50,000...forty minutes..." Dreves pinched his chin and snorted coldly: "Iseras has only arranged three fleets on the front line, so many of which 20,000 warships, one should be the 14th fleet temporarily formed, and the key is which fleet is Douglas's first fleet. Or the royal fleet of Zagu?"
"Are you ready for the video conference?"
The staff quickly replied, "Except for the 20th Fleet, the commanders of other fleets are ready."
"20 Fleet?" Dravis quickly woke up: "It's the one pretending to support Jinchaokou. I guess it's too far away to get in touch. All right, start the video conference right away.
The surrounding screens lit up, and three figures appeared on it. Except for Lin Yiqing, the commander of the 21st Fleet, the commanders of the other two fleets looked a little flustered. Dravis took a look at the two* and sighed slightly. It seemed that both soldiers and officers of the Federation were still lacking in training.
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, the enemy is fierce and numerous. I propose to ask the headquarters for reinforcements immediately."
Speaking of the commander of the 16th Fleet, Dravies knew very well that the 11th Fleet and 16th Fleet stationed in Tapersena were transferred from the rear and had not experienced war. In this situation, he looked very flustered and at a loss.
"The number of enemies is 50,000." Dravis said lightly, "And we have a total of 60,000 warships in five fleets. What's to be afraid of?"
"But...the strength of the enemy..."
"Yes, the combat effectiveness of Iseras is indeed higher than ours." Dreves did not deny this fact that humiliated the military, but he changed his words: "But how do you know if Iseras's move is to mobilize the troops of the headquarters here to launch an attack on Jinchaokou? In that case, the time it will take for the fleet to send from Tabersena to Jinchaokou is enough for Iselas's army to occupy Jinchaokou.
"But..."
"Needless to say. Think about the importance of Jin Chaokou!" Dravis shouted, "Unless it is certain that it is us who is the main attack of Iseras, I will not ask for reinforcements. All right, I'll issue the order now. The front main attack is in charge of the 11th Fleet, the left wing and the top are in charge of me, the right wing and the bottom are handed over to the 21st Fleet, and the 16th Fleet is responsible for support... Do you have anything to add?
Hearing this order, the commander of the 16th Fleet's face was slightly slow, but the face of the commander of the 11th Fleet seemed to be covered with a layer of white frost and immediately shouted, "Commander, you can't do this. Our fleet has not fought yet. We have to be responsible for such an important position in the first battle, which will be detrimental to the whole situation!"
"This is not the reason." Dravis stared at him and said, "This is a military order!"
"No! My fleet refuses to accept such an order!" The commander of the Eleventh Fleet shouted angrily, "Draves, you are letting the Eleventh Fleet die!" I will never allow you to do this."
"Oh? Are you going to disobey the military order?
"Well, Dravies, don't think you don't know why you did it. It's not that we swept your face when we first arrived, but I didn't expect you to be so narrow-minded..."
Lin Yiqing watched the quarrel of several people with great interest, knocked on the light brain a few times, and called out what the commander of the 11th Fleet said. It turned out that when the 11th Fleet had just arrived at the front line from the rear, it saw that Dravis' Third Fleet was battered by the enemy. Many soldiers and officers were laughing and even clashed with the soldiers of the Third Fleet.
Shaking his head, Lin Yiqing became more and more disgraceful of the commander of the 11th Fleet.
For a fleet that came down alive from the battlefield, you don't care about respect, but sneer, but don't stop it. Instead, you disobey the military order with this kind of thing. If this kind of commander had been placed in Chu Tang, he would have been ordered to retire long ago, let alone in the position of fleet commander.
"Oi, give the striker to our 21st Fleet." Lin Yiqing dug his ears and said lightly.
When he said this, he immediately attracted the attention of the other three people. The commanders of the 11th Fleet and the 16th Fleet were happy, but Dravis frowned a little. From the bottom of his heart, Dravis would like to see the combat effectiveness of the Chutang fleet and learn from the fleet command and operation experience to make up for the lack of combat training in the Federation for a long time. But no matter what, they are here to support themselves, and how can they take them as the main force?
If this causes great damage to the strength of the 21st Fleet, and Chu Tang withdraws the two fleets in anger, then the whole Federation...
"Commander Lin, you came from afar and don't know much about the terrain and the fighting style of Isselas..." Dravis hesitated for a moment, stared at the commander of the 11th Fleet, gritted his teeth and said, "It goes without saying that my third fleet is facing the enemy. Commander Lin, please the right wing at that time.
Lin Yiqing looked at him with a little surprise, but he didn't expect that the deputy commander, who was temporarily promoted during the war, not only had an overall concept, but also had full courage and was willing to be a striker as a commander. Anyway, this person still deserves his admiration.
"Deputy Commander, please rest assured that as long as my 21st Fleet is there, the right wing and below will definitely be solid."
"Huh, everyone can say big words..." The commander of the 11th Fleet muttered that Dreves is the striker, and he is naturally responsible for the left wing and the top. Although the danger has come down, we still have to fight against the enemy.
After the video conference, Dravis conducted a private communication with Lin Yiqing and asked, "Commlin, I'm very sorry for what happened just now. Some officers in the Federation came up with the support of the big chaebols and did not know anything about the military at all. Please don't misunderstand the overall image of the Federation because of the stupidity of individuals.
Lin Yiqing smiled and said, "General Dreves does not need to apologize for this. If you need anything in the future, please speak in advance. Commander Yang and I will support you. By the way, when the communication is sent at this time, you won't specifically tell me this, will you?"
Dreves shook his head and smiled, "With the support of Commander Lin and Commander Yang, I believe that the two fleets will not cause any waves. Well, sooner or later, I will let those two stupid pigs get off the commander's position... Well, let's not talk about that. Commander Lin, I want to ask when Commander Yang's fleet will be able to return. Without him, we will only have 45,000 warships. I'm worried that the war situation will be a little unfavorable.
"Don't worry, when the alarm sounded, I sent a high-speed communication boat to inform Commander Lin that his fleet could appear on the battlefield in an hour at most."
Due to long-term friction, the entire front line is full of Mi's particles used to isolate detection and communication signals. If you want to contact, you must send a communication boat at close range to notify. After hearing this, Dravis nodded and said, "I understand. When the battle begins, we need to rely more on Commander Lin's support."
With the orders of the fleets, all the soldiers and officers moved. Subsequently, the four fleets programmed the joint fleet and flew to the front line.
At the same time, a meeting was also being held within the mecha brigade of the 21st Fleet, but unlike the headquarters meeting, there was no intrigue here, and there was no noise to dismantle the stage. The captain quickly issued the order alone, and everyone took the order without hesitation. On the one hand, it was because of Chu Tang's strict military order. On the other hand, it also shows that under the long-term running-in of the mecha brigade, the captain is very familiar with each team in order to give them the most suitable task.
However, for Yunyi, the captain is really a little difficult.
He is very clear about Yunyi's identity and can't let him take risks. However, as far as he knows, Yunyi is also a congenital second-class mecha warrior, which is comparable to himself, not to mention that he also has an enviable super mecha. In this kind of battlefield, a mecha master has played more than 100 warships. After thinking about it, the captain felt that he still gave this choice to Yunyi himself.
Hearing the captain's inquiry, Yunyi, who was waiting for the order, couldn't help but understand that this may be the captain's concern, so he smiled and said, "In this case, please help me choose four fastest mecha warriors, form a team alone, and fight freely..."
