"Everyone's expressions are dripping with bitterness!" Sonia whispered to Xiao Yan on the team channel, "Look at Lieutenant Colonel Osarez's face, as green as moss under a thousand-year-old tree!" ”

Brigadier General Violet von Mügel listened quietly to the discussion, neither for nor against.

After Lieutenant Colonel Ozares proposed a plan to disperse and escape, Lieutenant Colonel Ferron's expression was very embarrassed, and Colonel Warren Haydn's face was calm but vaguely with a hint of disdain.

Several of the captains of the Star Destroyers had escaped from the rout of the 3rd Fleet, apparently still apprehensive about the power of the Trade Alliance, looking uneasily.

"Your Excellency, Gregebei, disperse and break out, and leave some fire for the Bayeran Space Fleet!" Lieutenant Commander Ozares faintly became the backbone of the surviving remnants of the 3rd Fleet, "Our army is in a crisis situation, the enemy is approaching from three directions, once we let that fast fleet contain us, the firepower of the enemy battleships and the number of carrier-based aircraft will make us vulnerable!" ”

Several of the officers of the former 3rd Fleet present were nodding slightly.

"If you want to scatter and run away~ I don't want to be helpless and wait for others to beat me!" Ophelia pursed her lips and clasped her hands in front of her chest, "Give me an assault landing craft, I can live a little longer with the Marines to break through." ”

Xiao Yan and Sonia paid attention to the reactions of everyone present. For both of them, the abandonment of the fleet led to the defeat of Bayeran and their own death in battle. If the fleet really wants to disperse and escape, Xiao Yan will definitely control Miss Miu Gel at the first time, and then hold her hostage to control the fleet and resist until the last moment.

"So~" Major Faphnir glanced at his captain slightly, and then spoke, "Have you all fully expressed your opinions?" ”

It sounds like you're testing your commanders...... Xiao Yan nodded invisibly.

"Next, it is up to Your Excellency Brigadier General to announce her opinion." The red-haired adjutant stepped back and gave up the center of the meeting to Brigadier General Mujel.

"I understand your claims, but I don't plan to retreat." Brigadier General Violet von Mügel, who was as white and delicate as expensive porcelain, glanced around the crowd and spoke.

"Ahh Lieutenant Colonel Ozarez was shocked. Several of the other captains of the Star Destroyer also looked at the blonde commodore in horror, their eyes looking like they were looking at a wayward little girl.

Xiao Yan glanced sideways slightly, and found that Colonel Warren Haydn had an unsurprising expression, waiting for Violet's opinion with great interest.

"It's too sloppy! The combat effectiveness of the enemy army is almost three times that of our army! Lieutenant Colonel Ozarez anxiously took a step forward.

"You mean our army will be defeated, do you?"

"Huh?" Lieutenant Colonel Ozares was stunned for a moment, spreading the story of defeat was a stain on the army. The captain hesitated for a moment, but still sighed and said, "The hope of the principality is completely maintained in the space fleet. If the loyal officers and soldiers are buried here, the despicable intentions of the Trade Alliance will be realized without hindrance. Even if...... Even if only a part of the warships break through, they can continue to deter with the presence of the fleet, so that the enemy has some scruples! ”

Presence of a fleet? What a ridiculous insight. Although Brigadier General Mijel didn't say anything, Xiao Yan could almost read her thoughts in her contemptuous eyes.

"No, I don't agree to retreat."

For a moment, Lieutenant Colonel Ozarez, who was already middle-aged, thought he was talking to a little girl in high school, and he asked with a sullen face: "What are the reasons for Your Excellency's reluctance to retreat?" I would like to hear about it. ”

"Because, our side has an overwhelming advantage over the enemy." Brigadier General Mugel pointed to the star map casually, "There are two advantages: first, the enemy fleet has different speeds, intercepting and dispersing troops from three directions, and our army is only concentrated in one place. In terms of overall strength, it is true that the trade union has the upper hand. However, our army can concentrate on breaking through one of them, and our warships are all cutting-edge ships, as well as the tactical advantages brought by mobile armaments, and the firepower is by no means comparable to the old model.

"Second, according to the enemy's course and speed, this fleet can strike at the highest speed and launch an attack on the enemy's 11th fast fleet before the enemy discovers us and converges. Then we turned to attack the 6th or 7th Fleet, which was large in size, but the escort carriers slowed down the ship, and whether we attacked either of the two fleets, the other would be too much to come to the rescue.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what are the conditions for victory from time to time when time and distance are on the side of our army, and at the same time we have the two advantages of concentration of troops and mobility?

Commodore Mujel's views were like a sharp sword piercing the darkness, and for a time swept away the oppressive atmosphere in the bridge. The dead gray eyes of several officers became active.

The beautiful fleet commander swept past Lieutenant Commander Osares, who was standing dumbfounded, and continued: "We are not in a desperate situation surrounded on all sides, but this is the perfect time to break the enemy in each way. As a noble soldier of Bayeran, should he renounce his oath and honor and bury his hope of victory for the sake of his own survival at a time when the survival of the Principality is at stake? ”

……

The captains returned to their ships, and Ophelia returned to the hangar deck to prepare for battle. The bustling bridge of the Bronhill suddenly became deserted. Xiao Yan and Sonia remained here, watching the captains' transport boats leave.

In the last few minutes just now, Lieutenant Colonel Osarez, who was still skeptical after hearing all the plans, almost clamoured, claiming that Brigadier Mügel's plan was empty talk on paper and could not be realized at all.

In the end, under the suppression of the rank and the intimidation of Ophelia, who was almost about to make a move, the lieutenant colonel had to give in temporarily.

"What do Miss Lamor and Griffith Knight think?" Brigadier General Mijer looked at Xiao Yan with jewel-like eyes, "The two of you are not Bayeran soldiers, I can arrange a fast shuttle to take you away before the war, but safety cannot be guaranteed." ”

There was a hint of provocation in these words, but when they came out of the mouth of the beautiful captain in a touching tone, there was a bit of a girl's cute taste.

However, Xiao Yan would not give in because of his appearance, and said mockingly: "Your Excellency doesn't have to worry about us. However, several captains may still be dissatisfied, and may not be resolute in carrying out orders in battle. ”

Without waiting for Faphnir to stand up for his chief officer, Violet herself laughed: "Most of them are muttering that the simple and ignorant brigadier general relies on the relationship of his brother to pretend to be the power of the military rank!" I know. To convince them, you have to make a one-hit kill in the first battle to convince them. To do this, I need to resort to the power of knights. ”
