Chapter 74: The Price
"Rear Admiral Bai Lingfeng has also arrived, I wonder if you can let me see your fleet now? In this way, I can make accurate tactical arrangements according to your strength. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Lieutenant General Raphael stopped the ongoing meeting and said with a smile to Bai Lingfeng, who had just come in.
Hearing his words, the other generals also discovered Bai Lingfeng, and immediately all their eyes fell on him. For this new colleague, to be honest, everyone has some rejection in their hearts, which is the inevitable contradiction between the old forces and the new forces.
Seeing so many people looking at him, Bai Lingfeng didn't care, he just found a place to sit down at will, and then looked at Raphael on the chief, and said slowly: "Do you know why the commanders of the other four Federation fleets are either admirals or admirals, and you are the only one who is just a vice admiral?" ”
A hint of coldness flashed in Raphael's eyes, and he said coldly: "Please answer my question, can you let me watch your fleet now?" Don't talk too much! ”
"Looks like you still don't get it." Bai Lingfeng's expression was calm, he picked up the cup of tea in front of him and took a sip lightly, before continuing: "If you really want to see my fleet, then go and see it." Now my shipwives are in the lobby outside. ”
As soon as his words fell, Vice Admiral Gary happened to walk in, and after listening to his words, he couldn't help but show a playful smile, "I don't need to go out of my way to see what kind of strength his fleet has, I already have a basic understanding." If you're interested, I wouldn't mind telling you about it. ”
"Oh? Could it be that Vice Admiral Gary has already seen his fleet? Raphael asked with a smile.
Everyone else in the conference hall was curious about Bai Lingfeng's fleet, so they kept urging Vice Admiral Gary to hurry up.
Vice Admiral Gary glanced at Bai Lingfeng, who was silent, and said in a slightly regretful voice: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, the strength of the Qianlong Island fleet is not very good, not only seven warships, but also three or four little girls who are only eleven or twelve years old. A ship girl of this age should only choose to become a destroyer, right? Major General Bai Lingfeng, I don't know if I'm wrong? ”
"That's right, I do have three destroyers under my command, but they are no worse than the average cruiser and battleship." Bai Lingfeng replied calmly.
"Poof!"
Vice Admiral Gary couldn't help laughing, "Did you hear that, Rear Admiral Bai Lingfeng said that his destroyers are more powerful than cruisers and battleships, hahaha, whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway!" ”
As his voice fell, many people laughed,
Bai Lingfeng frowned slightly, a little displeased. It's true that he doesn't bother to bother with these people who don't have much knowledge, but that doesn't mean that he won't be angry when he is ridiculed.
"If you guys are holding this meeting only to comment on my fleet, then I'm sorry, I refuse to attend."
After speaking, Bai Lingfeng had already stood up and was about to leave.
"Okay, Major General Bai Lingfeng, don't be angry, everyone is just joking. Sit down, sit down, anyway, you also brought a fleet over, and the loyalty to the Federation we already feel. Lieutenant General Raphael hurriedly played the round, but when he saw Bai Lingfeng deflated, he felt very relieved in his heart.
"No need, just tell me directly after you have discussed the tactical arrangements. I'm here to fight, not to gossip. ”
After speaking, Bai Lingfeng didn't hesitate anymore and walked straight out of the conference hall.
Looking at his departing back, Lieutenant General Raphael shook his head and said with a smile: "Young people are thin-skinned, and they are embarrassed to stay if they make jokes." Alright, let's move on to analyzing the battle situation, and try to find out the weak points of the kingdom of Smarbo and deal heavy damage! ”
……
"Admiral."
Seeing Bai Lingfeng coming out of the conference hall, the Fengxian and other shipwresses immediately surrounded him. They were all a little strange, why did the Admiral come out so quickly? Have specific arrangements been made?
Bai Lingfeng only smiled faintly and didn't explain anything, "Let's go, let's go to the intelligence department and have a look." Rather than fooling around with the guys in the chamber, the Intelligence Division gives us a better idea of what's going on. ”
As a major general and member of the Federal Congress, Bai Lingfeng still has a lot of authority, at least, most of the information of the intelligence department can be read at will.
After staying in the temporary intelligence office for half an hour, Bai Lingfeng came out of it. However, it was clearly worth the time, and now he knew a lot about the situation of the Watt Federation, the Smarbo Kingdom, and some of the surrounding forces.
The time of the surprise attack on the Maple Island Fleet was around one o'clock this morning, and although the fleet was severely damaged, the Second and Fourth Fleets of the Federation also reacted immediately and barely held Maple Island.
However, the kingdom still occupies a number of federal territories, including the three village-level islands under the jurisdiction of Maple Leaf Island: Samba Island, Xingdong Island, and Tianzui Island.
There are only five village-level islands under Maple Leaf Island, and being occupied by three at once is a huge loss for Maple Leaf Town.
Moreover, although the fleet of the Smapbo Kingdom has temporarily stopped attacking, it is still stationed in the ports of the three village-level islands, and in their country, fleets are also coming one after another. If nothing else, there will definitely be a new round of raids. Three village-level islands are not enough to satisfy their appetite.
And this, too, is why the commander-in-chief urgently summoned all local fleets to rush to the front.
"A national war, if you lose too many warships in this war, both countries will quickly decline." Bai Lingfeng couldn't help but sigh.
"In my opinion, if we didn't help, it would probably end up with the Watt Federation being annexed by the Smarb. For this war, the country must have prepared for a lot of time. On the other hand, the Watt Federation not only has few warships and poor strength, but also is divided into more than a dozen fleets. Especially those local fleets, each with their own thoughts, it is impossible to twist into a rope and will be defeated! The Phoenix said disdainfully.
"Hmm."
Bai Lingfeng nodded, "So I'm thinking about it now, whether to help them or not......"
"Huh? If you don't help them, will you sit back and watch them perish? It's not in our interest, is it? The Phoenix looked at him in amazement.
Bai Lingfeng shook his head, "I didn't say that I wanted to completely destroy the Watt Federation, after all, I am also one of the legitimate members of the Watt Federation now. However, it is not indispensable to let them be attacked by the Sima Boguo for a while, and kill some more major generals and lieutenant generals. ”
"You're saying we'll come to the rescue when the Federacy is at stake?" The Phoenix Immortal's eyes suddenly lit up.
Bai Lingfeng smiled and nodded imperceptibly, "In this way, we can become the heroes of the Federation, and our prestige in the hearts of ordinary people will skyrocket." Moreover, with sixteen members of parliament too many to die in battle, how can we really hold the authority of the Federation? ”
Originally, his main purpose was just to help the ship mother upgrade, and by the way, help the Watt Federation. However, when he was ridiculed by those major generals and lieutenant generals in the conference hall, he suddenly figured it out, why was he in a hurry to save these stupid coulders? Wouldn't it be better to let them be tortured to death by the fleet of the Smarbo Kingdom before they attacked?
