Chapter 16: Discordant Meetings

On the federal side of Tabesena is Admiral 1st Class Drevis Deputy Commander-in-Chief and Commander of the Third Fleet. At this moment, his gaze quickly swept over the data sent back by the unmanned probe before it was destroyed, and turned his head and asked, "Have you calculated the number of enemies and the time of arrival?" ”

A staff officer quickly tapped a few times on the keyboard, looked at the results of the calculations and said: "General, judging by the total mass, the number of enemy warships is more than fifty thousand!" The speed is very fast, and it is expected that in about 40 minutes, we will reach the longest range that can attack us! ”

"Fifty thousand...... Forty minutes ......" Drevis pinched his chin and snorted coldly: "Isselas has only three fleets on the front line, and the extra 20,000 warships, one should be the temporary 14th Fleet, the key is which fleet is the other, is it Douglas's First Fleet, or Zagu's Royal Fleet?" ”

"Is the video conference ready?"

The staff officer quickly replied: "Except for the 20th Fleet, the commanders of the other fleets are ready. ”

"20 fleet?" Drevis quickly came to his senses: "It's the one that pretends to support Jin Chaokou, and it is estimated that the distance is too far to be contacted." Well, start the video conference right away. ”

The screens around lit up one by one, and three figures appeared on it, except for Lin Yiqing, the commander of the 21st fleet, the commanders of the other two fleets all looked a little flustered. Drevis glanced at the two generals, and sighed slightly in his heart, it seems that the federal side, whether it is a soldier or an officer, is still lacking in training.

"Your Excellency, Deputy Commander-in-Chief, the enemy is menacing and extremely numerous, and I propose to request reinforcements from the command immediately."

It was the commander of the Sixteenth Fleet who spoke, and Drevis knew very well in his heart that the Eleventh and Sixteenth Fleets stationed at Tabesena were all transferred from the rear and had not experienced war, so he looked panicked and overwhelmed when he encountered this situation.

"The number of enemies is fifty thousand." Drevis said lightly: "And what about us, five fleets with a total of 60,000 warships, what is there to be afraid of?" ”

"But...... The strength of the enemy ......"

"That's right, Iserath is indeed more combative than us." Drevis did not deny this fact that embarrassed the military, but he changed his words: "However, how do you know if Iseras's move is to mobilize the forces of the command here to launch an attack on Jinchaokou?" In that case, it would take enough time for the fleet to be sent from Tabesena to the mouth of the Golden Tide for the army of Iserras to occupy the mouth of the Golden Tide. ”

"But ......"

"Needless to say. Think about the importance of the Golden Tide Mouth! Drevis scolded, "I won't ask for reinforcements unless I'm sure it's really us on the Iserras side." Okay, I'll issue the order now. The main frontal attack was to be carried out by the 11th Fleet, the left flank and upper flank were to be taken care of by me, the right flank and below were given to the 21st Fleet, and the 16th Fleet was responsible for support...... Is there anything else you can add? ”

Hearing this order, the commander of the 16th Fleet paled slightly, but the face of the commander of the 11th Fleet was as if a layer of hoarfrost had been smeared, and he immediately shouted: "Commander, you can't do this, our fleet has not fought a war yet, and it will be detrimental to the whole situation if we have to be responsible for such an important position in the first battle!" ”

"That's not a reason." Drevis glared at him and said, "This is a military order!" ”

"No! My fleet refuses to accept such an order! The commander of the Eleventh Fleet shouted angrily: "Drevis, you are letting the Eleventh Fleet die!" I will not allow you to do that. ”

"Oh? Are you planning to disobey military orders? ”

"Hmph, Dreves, don't think I don't know why you're doing this. It's not that we swept your face when we first arrived, but I didn't expect you to be so cautious......"

Lin Yiqing watched the quarrel of several people with interest, tapped a few times on the light brain, and called up the incident that the commander of the eleventh fleet said. It turned out that when the Eleventh Fleet had just arrived at the front line from the rear, it saw that Dreves's Third Fleet had been beaten to tatters by the enemy, and many soldiers and officers were laughing at it, and even clashed with the soldiers of the Third Fleet.

Shaking his head, Lin Yiqing became more and more disdainful of the commander of the Eleventh Fleet.

For a fleet that has come down alive from the battlefield, you don't care about respect, but you sneer, but instead of stopping it, you disobey military orders with such things. If this kind of commander was placed in Chu Tang, he would have been ordered to retire a long time ago, let alone be in the position of fleet commander.

"Alright, leave the striker to our 21st Fleet." Lin Yiqing dug out his ears and said lightly.

When he said this, he immediately attracted the attention of the other three. The commanders of the Eleventh and Sixteenth Fleets were certainly pleased, while Drevis frowned a little. From the bottom of his heart, Drevis really wanted to see the combat effectiveness of the Chutang fleet, and learn from it the experience of fleet command and operation, so as to make up for the lack of combat training on the part of the Federation for a long time. But no matter what, people are here to support themselves, so how can they use others as the main force.

If this caused the strength of the 21st fleet to be greatly damaged, and Chu Tang was furious and withdrew the two fleets, then the entire federation would ......

"Commander Lin, you have come from afar, and you don't know much about the terrain and the fighting style of Iseras...... Drevis hesitated, glared at the commander of the Eleventh Fleet again, gritted his teeth and said: "Needless to say, my Third Fleet is facing the enemy head-on. Commander Lin, the right wing will please. ”

Lin Yiqing glanced at him with a slight surprise, but he didn't expect that the deputy commander, who was temporarily promoted during the war, not only had a sense of the overall situation, but also was full of courage and was willing to be a forward as a commander. Regardless, this man is still worthy of his admiration.

"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, please rest assured, as long as my 21st fleet is located, the right flank and below will definitely be impregnable."

"Hmph, anyone can say big things...... "The commander of the Eleventh Fleet muttered, Drevis is the striker, and he is naturally responsible for the left flank and above. Although the danger has decreased, it is still necessary to fight the enemy.

After the video conference, Drevis had a private communication with Lin Yiqing alone and asked: "Commander Lin, I'm very sorry for what happened just now, some officers of the Federation climbed up with the support of the big chaebols, and they don't understand those military things at all. Please don't misunderstand the image of the Federation as a whole because of the stupidity of a few individuals. ”

Lin Yiqing smiled and said: "General Drevis doesn't need to apologize for this, if you need anything in the future, please speak in advance, Commander Yang and I will support you." By the way, you don't want to tell me this specifically when you send a newsletter at this time, do you? ”

Drevis shook his head and said with a smile: "With the support of Commander Lin and Commander Yang, I believe that those two fleets will not set off any waves." Hmph, sooner or later, I'll let those two stupid pigs get out of the commander's position...... Well, let's not talk about that. Commander Lin, I would like to ask when Commander Yang's fleet will be able to return, if it were not for him, we would only have 45,000 warships on our side, and I am afraid that the battle situation will be a little unfavorable. ”

"Don't worry, when the alarm sounded, I sent a high-speed communication boat to inform Commander Lin, I believe that in an hour at most, his fleet will be able to appear on the battlefield."

Due to the long-term friction on the entire front line, Michaels particles used to isolate detection and communication signals are everywhere, and if you want to make contact, you must send a communication boat to notify you at close range. After hearing this, Drevis nodded and said, "I understand, when the battle starts, I will have to rely on Commander Lin's support." ”

As the orders of the fleets were given, all the soldiers and officers moved. Subsequently, the four fleets programmed a combined fleet and flew towards the front line.

At the same time, the 21st Fleet Mecha Brigade was also holding a meeting internally, but unlike the headquarters meeting, there was no intrigue here, no noisy demolition, the captain quickly issued the order alone, and everyone took the order without hesitation, on the one hand, this is because of Chu Tang's strict military orders, and on the other hand, it also shows that the mecha brigade is very familiar with each detachment under the long-term run-in, so as to give them the most suitable task.

However, for Yunyi, the captain is really a little difficult.

He knew Yun Yi's identity very well, and it was impossible for him to take the risk. But as far as he knew, Yun Yi was also a congenital second-level mecha warrior, on par with his own level, not to mention that he also had an enviable super mecha. In this kind of battlefield, a mecha master definitely plays a role of more than a hundred warships. After thinking about it, the captain felt that he still gave this choice to Yun Yi himself.

Hearing the captain's inquiry, Yun Yi, who was waiting for the order, couldn't help but be stunned, but then he understood that this might be the captain's concern, so he said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then please ask the captain to help me pick the four fastest mecha warriors, form a team alone, and fight freely......"
