Huo Qiang let out a sigh of relief, and his mood was unprecedentedly comfortable: "Don't think so much, this plan was discussed by Beidu and Washington together, and the purpose is to solve the Jupiter problem once and for all." To tell you the truth, since I left Beiyuezhou, this matter has been in my heart, and the order given to me from above is when the time is ripe and when it is to be conveyed downward, and now is almost the time. ”

The real task was announced, but everyone's mood became heavier, everyone had different expressions, either bowed their heads in contemplation, or frowned, and some looked at Huo Qiang silently.

The atmosphere at this time was particularly depressing, and Huo Qiang couldn't help frowning: "What? Don't you want to say something? ”

Zhuang Bo rubbed his temples and smiled bitterly: "It's so unexpected, no wonder I always feel that something is wrong!" ”

"yes, it was so sudden." Wu Han agreed, "Let me take it slowly, and then talk slowly." ”

"What about you?" Huo Qiang looked at the captains.

The captains agreed with Wu Han's meaning...... Just kidding, neither the deputy commander nor the chief of staff made a sound, which round got these captains of them?

"That's it!" Huo Qiang waved his hand, "You don't need to say it, you all know what the situation is now, as I said just now, the time is ripe...... Lao Wu, you immediately contact the Nanzhou and call me all the people who should be called, and those who can't participate in the meeting in real time will be remotely observed. ”

"Yes!" Wu Han agreed, "I'll do it right away." ”

Said that the whole person suddenly disappeared like a ghost, leaving only an empty place.

After a while, Wu Han reappeared.

A few seconds later, a group of commanders led by Gao Kai appeared en masse, the virtual conference room automatically doubled in size, the conference table also doubled in length, and everyone automatically appeared in their appropriate positions.

"Are you all there?" Huo Qiang asked.

Seven or eight seconds later, Gao Kai replied: "All those who stayed in Ceres have arrived, and the rest have been notified, but the distance is too far to reach it for a while." ”

"Then don't wait." Huo Qiang said, "I am now arranging the next stage of the mission, the current situation is clear to you, we need to face the enemy in three directions, first of all, Mars, the distance over there is too far, mainly relying on the Xuzhou and Enterprising, we can't reach it, so we don't have to care; The second is the asteroid belt, there are more enemy ships than we expected, so the asteroid belt must leave a fleet, and I plan to leave one or two battle groups...... Gao Kai! ”

"Here!" Gao Kai immediately agreed.

Huo Qiang said: "You are most familiar with the situation, you left the Nanzhou battle group behind, and the Yuzhou and other seriously injured battleships were also left for you, is there a problem?" ”

"No report!"

Huo Qiang nodded: "Very good, you have two tasks, one is to defend Ceres, and the other is to clear the enemy, you decide what to do." ”

"Yes, mission guaranteed!"

"Don't promise me yet, you now know the purpose of capturing Ceres, let me ask you, after the main force leaves, how many possibilities are there for the enemy forces left here?"

"Three kinds." Gao Kai said, "One is to follow the enemy's main force to fight Mars, the second is to attack Ceres, and the third is to pursue the main force, I think the first and third points are not small, and the probability of attacking Ceres is the lowest." ”

Huo Qiang said: "You must be clear, the small chance does not mean that it is impossible, only two battle groups are left, and there are so many battleships damaged, in case the enemy comes, how sure are you of holding Ceres?" ”

Gao Kai pursed his lips and said with a wry smile: "Commander, if you ask me now, I really can't tell." ”

"That's a big truth." Huo Qiang said, "I'll give you a preventive shot first, Ceres does have a certain strategic value, but from the current situation, it has completed its historical mission at this stage, if the situation is unfavorable to us, you can move closer to Mars as a last resort." ”

Gao Kai was silent for a while, which happened to be the time point when the radio waves came and went between the two places: "When soldiers have no last resort. ”

Huo Qiang stared at Gao Kai for a few seconds: "Then I order you, when you can't hold Ceres, you must evacuate in time, it is not easy for the fleet to recover its strength." ”

"Yes!" Gao Kai agreed.

"The third direction is Jupiter, and it is also the first target of our voyage this time, I order, from now on, except for the three battle groups of Xuzhou, Nanzhou and Yuzhou, the remaining five battle groups will all assemble towards Jupiter!"

"Yes!" Everyone stood up, and a sense of slaughter filled the venue.

"Sit down." Huo Qiang said.

Everyone sat down together, and Huo Qiang said again: "Who has a problem about the mission?" ”

"I have a problem!" Zhuang Bo was the first to speak, "I'm still worried about Mars, there are only two battle groups, is the strength too weak?" ”

Huo Qiang said: "It's really weak, but Jupiter is our first target, and Mars is commanded by the headquarters, so we don't need to worry about it." ”

Zhuang Bo nodded when he heard this: "I understand, I have no problem." ”

It's not that he doesn't have no questions, but he doesn't want to ask other questions, otherwise he will finish speaking, and what will others say? If there is anything that no one mentions in the end, it is not too late for him to bring it up.

Huo Qiang looked at Wu Han: "Chief of Staff? ”

Wu Han said: "Commander, there are two astronomical units from here to Jupiter, and along the way, there are enemy warships and enemy bases...... Shall we go all the way through, or will we go all the way around? ”

Huo Qiang nodded slightly: "That's a good question, what do you think?" ”

Wu Han said: "Fight all the way, and the back road is guaranteed; All the way around, time is guaranteed, and each has its own advantages. ”

"What do you think?" Huo Qiang looked at the others again.

"Hit it!" Zhuang Bo said clearly, "We are alone in the depths, and we must ensure the safety of the rear." ”

"Yes, fight over, so far away from Jupiter, the speed of the fleet is definitely not slow, what to hit in the encounter!"

"You can't keep fighting, you have to say, those who stand in the way must fight, but don't be too entangled, it's best to be able to kill, if it doesn't work out, it's okay, and you can't turn back at such a fast speed......"

The captains present said a word to me, and explained their respective views one by one, Huo Qiang sometimes nodded, sometimes noncommittal, but wrote down all the thoughts in his heart.

Ye Han in the crowd never spoke.

According to Huo Qiang's arrangement, the Leishan will definitely follow the Jizhou, but he really wants to stay in the asteroid belt.

Rather, he was dissatisfied with the arrangement of his superiors, and he simply felt that he and the Leishan were more suitable for guerrilla-style single-ship confrontation, and were not very suitable for the kind of fighting style of large-scale naval artillery bombardment.

However, no matter how uncomfortable he is, he must also carry out the order, and it is impossible for Huo Qiang or any commander to modify the order because of his own ideas.

If every captain did this, what fleet would he organize? How good is it to dissolve each one directly?
