531 Trap I
Somewhere in the Wellspring Domain, the Third Fleet of the Federation Navy is quietly dormant here.
Aboard the Third Fleet's flagship Enterprise, Admiral William Frederick Halsey Jr., is listening to a report from his own chief of staff.
"Halsey, according to the Intelligence Service, the Emma have sent a fleet led by the current patriarch of the Tashmungon family, Karl Heinrich Tashmungon, to the Domain of the Springs to quell the rebellion. According to the information transmitted by the agents of the Intelligence Service, there are currently two armed forces of the Emma Empire that have been confirmed to go to the source, one of which is the fleet directly under Karl Tashmungon. The other was the Adiriya fleet under the command of Vice Admiral Hofbirna Tashmungon, the commander of the Aydiriya fleet of the Tashmengon fleet. What can be confirmed is that the last person in charge of the commander-in-chief must be the current patriarch of the Tashmungon family. Rear Admiral Glynton Smollett, Chief of Staff of the Third Fleet, who had just been contacted by the Federal Intelligence Service, reported.
"Karl Tashmungun? That little kid who was hailed as a new generation of guerrilla generals in the Emma Empire? Halsey asked, disdainfully with his gilded pipe in his mouth.
"Yes, Halsey. This man is said to have the title of Ghost Butcher of Adria, which was given to him by the Bloodraider Pirates who operated in the Adiria Field. His list of achievements is ... Before Major General Greenton could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Admiral Halsey.
"That's all propaganda within the Emma Empire! These empty-eyed, arrogant Emma people are all the same, and a little battle record can blow as big as the stars in the universe. If their public propaganda drafts can be believed, it is as fantastical as the group of congressmen in Congress who suddenly allocated us extra military spending! He said with a mocking look on his face.
"But to be able to take over an elector family at a young age, shouldn't it be such a simple character?" Greenton reminded.
That only shows that his political methods are sophisticated! Emma's five electors, who doesn't know that their Tashmengon family is the second-to-last in military power? It's better than the poor Adesapor family. If it's someone from the Salam family or the Queezo family who comes this time, I might need to be in good spirits. These two families have been a number of famous names in Emma's history, especially the Coezzo family. Their Alfred Coezzo has suffered a big loss for our Federation Navy in Gillesis! The Sixth and Seventh Fleets were badly damaged, and the Sixth Fleet was almost scattered! Sooner or later, I'll get this account back from him! Halsey slammed his pipe into the command seat.
"I think it's better for us to be careful. This time, the task given to us by the country is to help those rebels and disturb the back garden of the Emma people. After all, after the new emperor of the Emma people came to the throne, the national power became stronger and stronger. We can't just watch them develop, we need to make trouble for them properly. Greenton continued to dissuade.
In the face of repeated dissuasion from his chief of staff, Halsey finally waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, okay, I really can't do anything about you." If it weren't for the fact that you're an old guy I've worked with for many years, I would have reported to the higher authorities and asked to transfer you! ”
"Haha, I can just hold back your temper. If you want to change someone else, you will already make a transfer report. Greenton laughed.
"Okay, okay, what's the matter if you haven't left for half a day? If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go! Halsey looked at Greenton, who hadn't left yet, and scolded with a smile.
"Well, I took a closer look at our opponents and found something very interesting. Halsey, would you like to hear it? Maj. Gen. Greenton looked at Halsey with a skew.
"If you want to say it, say it, don't say pull it down! I still have something to do! Halsey said to him with a deliberately black face.
"Haha, I know you're a grumpy. Okay, listen up. Although our opponent this time is the relatively weak Tashmungon fleet, there are still some people among them who can cause us trouble. Greenton tapped his tablet and called up the holographic projection photos to show Halsey.
"It's these three that deserve our attention." He pointed to a gray-haired Admiral Emma, a female colonel, and a female major.
"Oh? What is there about these three that deserves our attention? Halsey asked. He took out some more shredded tobacco and stuffed it into his pipe and lit it.
In the midst of the smoke, Greenton continued: "Edward von Bock Tashmungon, Admiral of the Emma Empire, the current commander-in-chief of the Tashmungon fleet. This person's daily style is tough, and there is nothing outstanding in combat, so it can be said that he is very mediocre. But his only characteristic is that he is good at defending and is very good at defensive warfare. The Battle for Fame is the Hilshitz Clash in the Adiria Domain. In the assault of the 107th Detachment of the First Fleet of the Federal Navy, only one local garrison fleet and less than two squadrons of flagships were used to hold the Egarols Stargate in Hilschitz. ”
"Oh? It turned out to be him! But I remember it was when the YC era just began, right? Halsey asked.
"Yes, but this time we don't have to face him. It is said that because of physical reasons, this time he was in the ICU of the Tashmon family. Greenton said.
"May their gods bless him with good health! Let's talk about these two women! I have the impression that there are very few female officers in the Emma who are worth our trouble, aren't they all the playthings of the nobles? Halsey said with a wicked smile.
"Tinigfi, Colonel. Sophia, Major. The chief of staff and deputy chief of staff of the fleet directly under the head of the Tashmungon family. The head of the Tashmungon family was absent from the fleet for a time in Adiriyah, and the command of the entire fleet was in the hands of these two women. It was puzzling that no one had any objections to their command, which was a very unusual thing in Emma's navy. Greenton said, pointing to a holographic photograph of the two.
"If you want me to see, these two people are probably the concubines of the head of the family named Carl. I've always stayed away from the chaotic private life of the Aristocrats of Emma and the strange brain circuits. It's not uncommon for two women to command a fleet, and I've seen even more outrageous! Okay, I got it. The eldest lady in the fleet suddenly asked me for something just now, if you don't have anything else, I'll go to the appointment? Halsey said absent-mindedly.
"The eldest lady? Belch... Well, I got it. Grinton instantly understood what he meant, and left with an ambiguous smile on his face.
After he was gone, Halsey returned to his room. A slender figure in a black navy trench coat said to him, "Halsey, I heard that our opponent is coming?" When will I be asked to add some more medals? ”
PS: I originally wanted to send it tomorrow, but I still want to read your chapter to talk about it, 2: I think, you should guess who this is, right?
