At one o'clock in the afternoon of October 11, YC 120, after destroying three Nagafa-class dreadnoughts of the Mimatar Springs Freedom Fleet and collecting the remnants of the 212th Fleet, the first encounter between the Emma Navy and the Federation Navy in the Springs ended in a crushing defeat for the Emma Navy.

“。。。 In this battle, we destroyed a total of three enemy dreadnoughts, which is our result. The next thing I want to report to you is our loss. ”

Dinnigfeld looked coldly at the senior officers sitting at the conference table again, and said, "The battleship wing of the 212th Squadron of the Adiria Fleet sank forty-two battleships; More than half of the four cruiser squadrons were lost, of which the Ogno-class and Juggernaut-class squadrons were completely destroyed; If the special interception squadron is not rebuilt, then it can be announced that the establishment will be withdrawn, and there will be only one dedication-level heavy barricade that will open the jump and disrupt the position at the star gate. ”

Hearing the report of battle damage, the senior officers of the Adiriya fleet turned pale, while the officers of Karl's direct fleet looked at their colleagues with some gloating.

"Don't laugh either! After receiving the request for help from the 212th fleet, why didn't you gather reinforcements as soon as possible? The young master wants to teach these guys in the Adiria fleet who don't take him seriously as a lesson, but aren't you subordinates very good at figuring out what to like on weekdays? It's all like this? The young master means that when a certain detachment of the Adiriya fleet is attacked and trapped, you will go to the rescue as the direct force of the young master. In this way, he taught them a lesson, and the Imperial Navy would not lose much strength. But how do you do it? Well? Dinnigefeld glared at the officers in Karl's fleet.

"Miss Tinnigfei, we didn't have a good understanding of the meaning of the head of the family, please punish us!" Eldridge stood up and bowed his head to her.

"Yes, Miss Tinigfeld. This is a dereliction of duty on the part of our General Staff, and I beg you to punish it! Barcelona also quickly stood up and said under his reminder.

"Alright, don't blame each other. The question now is to think about what to do next. Don't take chances, they're going to make a big deal about our defeat. This is a good material for slapping my face, and my face is being fanned! Karl raised his hand to stop the two of them.

"I'm sorry, my lord. It was my lax majesty that caused you to lose face. Please punish you! Hofbüerner bowed his head and said in shame.

"Well, I've made it clear that now is not the time to hold each other accountable. The first task now is to think about what we should do after the future, and how to deal a blow to these rebels and the of the Federal Navy. I will help you withstand the pressure from Your Majesty and the military department first, but I won't last long. Because you have disappointed me so much! Hofbirner, I'll only give you two days for your Adriya fleet. I'm talking about it in the front, if you can't satisfy Your Majesty and the military department this time, just a major general who disobeys orders and disobeys orders will not be able to block the mouth of the entire empire, and you should know the consequences in your own heart. Karl looked at the three Emma emblems on Hofbner's shoulder, handmade of platinum under the conference room light, representing the glittering Imperial Admiral, and said leisurely.

"I see, my lord. The Adiriya fleet will not disappoint you! We will come up with an effective plan for you in two days, I guarantee in my honor, and I will give you a military order! Hofbüerner said in a resolute tone.

Karl could hear the meaning of his tone and stood up and said to the officers present: "Since Admiral Hofbüerner has made a military order for me in front of so many of his colleagues here, I will also make a military order in front of all of you here. ”

He took a deep breath and said, "From now on, including my direct fleet. All the resources of the entire Tashmungon Front were tilted towards the Adiriya fleet, asking for people to give and equipment to equipment. No one may obstruct this for any reason! If there is an attempt to obstruct, to disobey orders, to enrich oneself ... I'll publish a reporting number that will connect directly to Tinnigefeld's personal terminal. Once verified, you will bear the consequences. After verification, the whistleblower will receive 20% of the personal property of the person being reported! ”

"Your Excellency the Head of the Xie Family! We will never fail to live up to the expectations of the head of the family! If we don't succeed, we will die on the battlefield, and we will say goodbye to the head of the family! Members of the Staff of the Adiriya Fleet, if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent! Rise! Turn back! Run and go! Hofbüerner almost overstepped the order and walked out of the conference room.

Then the officers of the Adriya fleet stood up and walked out of the conference room following their commander's command.

The officers of the fleet looked at each other, Eldridge and Barcelona looked at Carl uneasily and asked, "My lord, are they... ”

"Let them go, don't you notice that the entire Adiriya fleet is now like a gambler who can't afford to lose? The resources of the entire Tashmengon fleet were tilted towards them, and the young master also gave such an order. Anyone who discovers that someone is trying to obstruct, disobey orders, or enrich themselves can directly report to Sister Dinigfeld, bypassing all of their superiors, and the whistleblower will receive 20% of the personal property of the person being reported. Tsk tsk, young master, this is closing them to a dead end! Once they lose this battle plan, let alone our own fleet, even the entire empire will look down on them! The resources of a fleet are at the discretion of a sub-fleet, and if they can fight another crushing defeat ... Not to mention the young master, the entire empire will not be able to spare them. Sophia sneered and analyzed it for her colleagues in the fleet.

"Alright, Sophia. During this time, Dinigfeld wants to follow me to help me deal with things, and here in the fleet, you can help me keep an eye on it. Do a good job of coordinating between the two sides and do not affect this operation. If this time let me know that the problem is with us, then ... Karl said to Sophia.

"Yes, young master, I promise to complete the task!" Sophia patted her not-so-towering chest and said.

"Okay, all of you go back. The next two days are expected to be very busy, so I won't bother you here. Karl stood up and saluted the officers of his fleet.

"Yes, my lord!" The officers also returned the salute.

As he left the conference room, only Tinnigefi and Richelieu, who were with him, heard Karl whisper: "Hofbirner, don't let me down... ”
