Chapter 444: Poisonous!
(In order to watch today's "Everyday Upward", I deliberately coded the words early!I finally saw the style of my four bosses on TV as I wished, I was really excited!)
"What the hell does Heinrisan want to do?"
Without answering the panicked questions of his generals, Bernalt stared straight at the scene of the arrangement of the Heinlixi fleet on the main screen, and a deep suspicion rose in his heart.\\
Drove the fleet openly into the range of artillery fire, but just stopped there quietly, and did not preemptively fire the cannons.
Heinli's actions are so abnormal that they can't be explained by common sense.
Didn't he know that from the moment he chose to lead the fleet to surrender, he and the coalition forces had become completely enemies, and there was no more affection for him?
Like him, without the slightest cover, he swaggered and openly drove the fleet into the range of enemy artillery fire, but did not fire the cannon first, and stopped there stupidly to wait and see, and he simply looked for death.
On the battlefield, the only way to strike first is to be strong, and the second to suffer.
With half the force already reduced and the first move lost, if a war broke out, the result would be almost devastating.
The first cluster commanded by Bernalt only needed one round of concentrated fire to cause Heinrich's fleet to lose ten percent in an instant.
After all, the combat power of 300,000 warships is not covered.
That's why Bernart wondered.
In his mind, although Heinrich was a fool who had nothing to do with command, he would not have made such an imbecile mistake.
Since you have chosen to surrender, you should not hesitate at a critical moment when you are a betrayer.
If you hesitate, it will only kill you!
Take, for example, the current situation......
If Bernalt and Heinri were in a different position, he would definitely not hesitate to choose to fire first and take the first move.
The first strike is strong, and the second strike suffers.
Bernalt would not be the victim of the latter in any way.
But this is only Bernalt's choice, not Heinri's.
Thereupon......
There was a spectacle of 140,000 warships parked within range of another 300,000 warships, and a commander who commanded 300,000 warships. Marshal Bernart's confusion and incomprehension.
For a while, even Marshal Bernart, who was incomparably wise and experienced in war, was a little confused by Heinrich's extraordinary and strange behavior.
"Marshal! Marshal ......"
Seeing that His Excellency the Marshal on the command platform not only did not give an order, but was suddenly stunned. The generals below immediately became collectively furious.
Are you kidding!
The marshal was in a daze at such a critical moment, isn't this asking for everyone's lives!
If the enemy on the opposite side had fired a volley of artillery fire at this time, it would have lost 5 percent of its men and 15,000 warships.
You know, these are 15,000 valuable warships that have been built with huge resources, not 15,000 flies and mosquitoes that have no value.
If this is lost because of this low-level negligence, it will be a big loss.
Especially. When this loss comes directly to the head of the fleet.
Therefore, as soon as the generals saw Bernalt standing on the command podium frowning in a daze, their hearts immediately pinched.
If it weren't for the lack of courage and power, the generals would have really wanted to give the order to open fire directly in Bernalt's place.
The generals did not understand now, on the other side Heinri had clearly led the fleet to surrender to the enemy, and their marshal was still standing there hesitating.
Shouldn't we be as ruthless as cold in the face of the enemy?
But now His Excellency the Marshal looks at the enemy in front of him. It's a little bit like spring.
This really made the generals feel very puzzled and depressed.
Fortunately......
His Excellency the Marshal was in a daze for a short time, just a short moment, and at the same time, he was quickly awakened by the call of the generals. It always made the generals relax a little.
The generals thought to themselves, now we can give an order!
However......
Another sentence casually uttered by His Excellency the Marshal made the generals collectively collapse.
"Wait!"
After being woken up by the generals, Bernalt frowned, stared directly at the picture on the main screen, and said very firmly.
Wait?
Still the waiting?
Waiting to be shot?
Although Heinrich, the commander of the opposite fleet, was an idiot in terms of command, after such a long time, he should have reacted.
"Marshal, we can't wait any longer, if we wait any longer, the enemy will have to fire at us first!"
Finally, a general couldn't help but stand up and remind Bernalt.
And I saw someone picking the head. Other generals also echoed the voice, a scene of the general trend.
"Marshal, Admiral Bogur is right, we will be burdened if we wait!"
"Indeed, marshal, if Heinri has taken the lead. Then we will suffer a lot of losses!"
"Marshal, Heinrisi has betrayed us, then it is no longer our comrade-in-arms, but an enemy. In the face of the enemy, we must strike first!"
"Marshal, you can't hesitate any longer......"
Watching the generals' performances coldly from beginning to end, Bernart didn't say a word when the generals spoke.
It wasn't until the generals' voices gradually weakened under his cold gaze that he looked at Admiral Bogul, who had just jumped out to speak, and spat out a sentence coldly.
"Admiral Bogur, if I remember correctly, your fleet should be at the forefront of the cluster formation by now!"
"And you, you, you, you ......"
The moment Bernart's face turned pale on the occasion of Bogur, he pointed to a few generals who echoed the voice and spoke the loudest, sneering disdainfully.
"If I remember correctly, it seems that your fleet is also around there!"
Seeing that several generals were speechless, Bernarte waved his hand lightly, pointing his palm at the main screen on the main console, and the sneer on his face turned cold.
"I want to ask you how long it has been since I gave the order to wait and see!"
“......”
Several generals who were pointed out by Bernalt as selfish were stared at and were collectively stunned on the spot.
They did not understand at all the purpose of His Excellency the Marshal in asking this question.
"One minute and twenty-one seconds!"
Seeing that several generals did not speak, Bernart personally spat out the answer.
And his answer came out. It directly made all the generals present collectively hurt.
None of the generals expected that in such a situation, their marshal would still be in the mood to count the seconds.
"Still don't understand?
Glancing at the generals with various expressions on their faces, Bernalt reached out and knocked on the command platform made entirely of Chao Alloy beside him. The voice of inquiry is like the ice and snow that the 'cold star' Namet has not melted for thousands of years.
Then, under the thoughtful gaze of the generals, he instantly turned into a 'lion', and roared with his hair open.
"I want to ask you, if you are in command of the fleet, how many attacks can you make in one minute and twenty-one seconds!"
“......”
The crowd will be silent.
It's not because the question is too hard. Quite the opposite, but because it's so simple.
It's so simple that people can even come up with that accurate answer in their minds without using a calculator.
The main cannon is charged for one minute, and the secondary cannon is charged for twenty seconds.
One minute and twenty-one seconds is that the main gun can be fired once, and the secondary gun can be fired four times.
In other words......
In this minute and twenty-one seconds, the fleet could fire one salvo of the main guns and four salvos of the secondary guns.
This hurts. It's amazing.
The moment they got their answer, the generals finally understood what Bernalt was trying to say.
At one minute and twenty-one seconds, a salvo of the main guns was fired. The time of four salvos of secondary guns......
If the opposing fleet thought of attacking, it would have already made four rounds of strikes.
But they didn't!
From the time they appeared to the present, they have only quietly stopped in the range of fire, without the slightest movement.
What does this mean?
I'm afraid that as long as you are not a fool with a negative IQ, you can figure it out.
It is clear that the other side does not want to be the first to open fire on them!
But if they fire first, it's a war.
No one just gets beaten and doesn't fight back!
Especially when the beaten party cares about his compatriots and does not take the lead in making a move.
Traitors also have the right and dignity to live.
"They...... They don't want to fight us!"
After a moment of silence, a general finally took the lead in spitting out this answer that is now clear to everyone.
And this answer is once singled out. The expressions on the faces of the generals began to become varied.
Some of the generals had a look of embarrassment on their faces.
The other part of the generals showed the opposite of absolute ruthlessness.
The rest are a little confused.
Obviously, the question of whether to fight or not to fight is whether these former comrades-in-arms who do not want to fight with them will be the first to open fire. The attitudes of the generals were divided.
The vast majority of these generals don't want to be so ruthless.
After all, the other party is not so ruthless.
As for the other part of the generals, they believe that 'the enemy is the enemy, and there can be no mercy'.
The two sides have different ideas and attitudes, and all they can do is wait for Bernart, the supreme leader of the fleet, to decide.
However......
To the surprise of the generals, what Bernart was thinking about was not on this at all.
What was on his mind was a completely different question.
"It doesn't matter!"
Looking at the generals with different faces in front of him, Bernart coldly spat out such a sentence that surprised all the generals.
As soon as Bernalt's words came out, almost all the generals were stunned for a while.
All the generals wanted to ask at this time......
Isn't that what you've been trying to prove just now?
Why is it so unimportant now?
What exactly are you trying to say?
Of course......
No one would be so stupid as to question Bernart like that.
At best, the generals looked at their marshal with a pair of inquiring eyes, hoping that their marshal would explain.
Really......
Bernalt finally spoke again in anticipation of the generals.
And this time, as soon as he opened his mouth, he spat out an inference that made all the generals scary.
"I think I finally understand why His Majesty was able to attack the second group commanded by Field Marshal McKinley so confidently. Because he already has a plan to hold us back!"
"Marshal, you mean ......"
The moment Bernalt spat out this inference, a general with the rank of general exclaimed.
It was clear that he had already thought of what Bernalt had just said.
"That's right, it's the fleet in front of you!"
Looking at the main screen with burning eyes, Bernart let out a sigh.
From the moment he had just figured out the ultimate purpose of Heinlixi's fleet appearing in front of him. Bernalt already knew that he was unlikely to have a chance to rescue McKinley's second cluster.
The fleet in front of him will drag him firmly here.
Just use this way without firing guns!
Thinking of this, Bernart's heart is really full of pain and helplessness.
He didn't expect Ye Chun to come up with such a vicious method. Let this fleet, which has just surrendered, and it is impossible to effectively carry out his orders, serve him.
Truly!
This fleet will not be the first to fire on compatriots.
This point must be known to Ye Chun himself.
Although he captured the fleet and made Heinrich choose to surrender without restraint, he still had no way to take full control of the fleet.
Ordering this fleet to open fire on its own compatriots is undoubtedly very unrealistic.
Even with the help of Heinrich, a traitor with no discipline, it would not have been possible.
But......
If there is the help of this 'compatriot' of the first cluster. That's different.
If you don't fire, you can take a shot.
In the face of traitors, I am afraid that all the officers and soldiers of the first cluster will not be relentless.
And as long as you are shot, the result can be imagined.
You have affection for others, and you don't fire first.
But people are ruthless to you, and they will shoot you to death.
What else is there to say about this, I believe that as long as there is a little bit of anger, people will choose to fight back.
Of course......
There is also a good chance that another scenario will arise!
That is, if you don't fire, I don't fire. Everyone coexists happily and harmoniously under the same sky.
In this way, it seems that Ye Chun's plan is useless!
Because the two sides can't fight!
But in fact, the real situation is not like that at all!
This situation is exactly what Ye Chun wants to see the most!
Don't forget. The purpose of Ye Chun's arrangement for the Heinrich battleship to 'appear'.
It was used to drag Bernalt's first cluster to rescue McKinley's second cluster.
If the two sides can't fight, they can't fight, as long as they can drag Bernalt back with his army.
Could it be that Bernalt still dares to turn around and sell his weakest ass to the other party in front of 140,000 equal warships?
If Bernalt did that, he would have his head in water, and he wouldn't dare to gamble like that.
The tail of any warship is where the weakest defense is.
There is no other reason for this......
That's where the battleship thrusters are located!
And due to the presence of thrusters, the protective shield activated by the battleship actually does not protect the stern.
Because the stern of the ship is also covered, the jet energy generated by the thrusters. will be completely absorbed and offset by the shield, and the battleship will be directly reduced to an immovable cripple.
There are such defensive loopholes, just ask, how dare Bernalt sell his ass to the other party!
At that time, the opponent only needed one salvo to directly destroy a third of his battleship.
After three volleys, he Bernalt was about to be wiped out.
This gamble. Bernalt simply couldn't afford to gamble.
Although, he was quite sure that Heinrich's fleet would not fire at him.
However, as long as it is not 100 percent, he cannot afford to gamble.
Heinlixi's undisciplined bastard really put a lot of pressure on him.
If he goes crazy for the sake of his own future, or if he shows his loyalty to his new master, he will launch his own descendants at all costs, then Bernarte will be miserable.
So, Bernalt is really sadistic now!
He hated Ye Chun for coming up with such a vicious method, and he hated Heinlixi's undisciplined bastard for being spineless.
Otherwise, he would not have found himself in this dilemma.
"Marshal, is it possible for us to retreat directly? It seems that the other side has no intention of engaging us!"
After all, there are still smart people, and Bernalt's pointers immediately made many of the generals present suddenly wake up, and some of them even saw some key points.
However......
Bernalt's answer directly erased the hopes of these generals.
"We can't afford to gamble!"
Bernart said with a blank face.
Seeing that this road was impassable, the generals all became anxious.
It didn't take long for another general to make a new proposal.
"Marshal, let's fight! as long as we fire first, we will definitely be able to deal with these traitors in front of us!"
This proposal was made by an iron-blooded general who believed that 'the enemy is the enemy, and no mercy should be left behind'.
Originally, he wanted to kill all the traitors who collaborated with the enemy and surrendered in front of him, but now it happened that the road to direct retreat was impassable, so he immediately jumped out and fought with one force.
But his proposal was still vetoed by Bernart without hesitation.
"We don't have that time!"
Bernart's reasons for veto could not be simpler.
And as soon as he denied this, all the generals present were blinded.
It can't go back, and it can't go in, so what should I do?
Is it still possible to take the middle of the two, half retreat and half advance?
Wait a minute......
Take the middle of the two, half retreat, half enter?
Suddenly, many of the generals thought of something, and one by one looked at their marshal, Bernalt, in shock.
Really......
Under the shocked gaze of the generals, Bernalt spat out the answer that almost heart-rending the generals.
"The 100,000 warships of the front army remained, and the 200,000 warships of the middle and rear armies turned around and retreated!"
"Plop!"
Admiral Bogur, who had jumped out to fight for Bernalt's order to open fire, because his fleet was at the forefront of the cluster formation, fell to the ground directly when he heard Bernalt's order, his face was like ashes.
Of the 100,000 warships under Bernalt's order, 50,000 belonged to him.
And these 50,000 warships are almost all of his belongings.
If he loses all of his power here, then he will be directly a bare-bones commander, and he will no longer have any status in the coalition forces.
As for the other generals who have a share of this unfortunate place, they are all as earthy as ......)
