Chapter 142: Sea King's Scumbag
Last time, there were only Admiral Leng Kaihu and Admiral Takeda Nagayoshi here, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
Now, this place is crowded with generals in charge of various arms and departments.
They all looked nervously at the two admirals in front of the command desk, waiting for the final order.
At this time, Leng Kaihu and Takeda Nagayoshi had intelligence on the newly formed First Fleet and some information on the bridgehead islands they were currently occupying in front of them.
The two of them were whispering to each other, while several generals behind them would occasionally look over and express their opinions.
Takeda Changyi's eyes inadvertently caught sight of Shen Yiyi squeezing at the door, so he waved his hand, motioning her to come over, and pointed to the information in front of him to show her.
Shen Yiyi was not polite either. She picked up the information and started reading it under the countless curious, cautious, and inquiring gazes around her.
The newly formed First Fleet, led by General Ivan, has now penetrated deep into enemy territory and has achieved considerable results this time.
They penetrated obliquely into the waters of the Liuli Islands from the public waters, not only annihilated a large number of the enemy's manpower, but also captured a bridgehead island, responding to our fleet behind the Sea of Misty Sea.
The intelligence that had just arrived showed that, through large-scale maneuvers, they had diverted a large number of enemy fleets guarding the edge of the Sea of Misty Sea, reducing the enemy's forces there to a relatively small number, creating a semi-vacuum period.
Logically speaking, this is a rare offensive opportunity.
According to Shen Yiyi's limited knowledge, they should gather all their superior forces and push forward through the sea of fog.
In this way, when we emerge from the sea of fog and encounter the enemy fleet, we can minimize our losses.
Of course, she was not the only one who had this idea. The liaison officers from the various troops and heads of various departments who were gathered here also thought so.
They were all looking eagerly at Leng Kaihu and Takeda Changyi, waiting for their orders.
After all, everyone has been preparing for this battle for a long time, and the entire Huayue army has a strong will to fight.
Especially for many soldiers whose hometowns were originally in the waters of the Liuli Islands, being able to regain their homeland this time has always been their wish.
They trained day and night, sharpening their knives, waiting for this day to come.
However, for some reason, faced with such a good situation, Admiral Leng Kaihu and Admiral Takeda Nagayoshi seemed extremely cautious.
They frowned and pointed at the map from time to time, as if they were looking for some key clues.
After discussing for a while, Takeda Nagayoshi's expression suddenly changed from serious to gentle, as if at this moment he had found the key to solving the problem.
Leng Kaihu next to him said a few more words to him, then stood up and said to the liaison officers of various arms who were surrounding him:
"The counterattack plan is suspended. The army troops are not allowed to board the ship yet. They should rest in the barracks and reduce the combat readiness level. All navy troops are on standby. Okay, everyone, disperse."
Hearing these words, the officers who had been waiting for a long time couldn't help but burst into discussion.
They originally thought that this was the moment for them to show their skills, but now, they were told to suspend the attack.
However, military orders were as heavy as a mountain, and they had no choice but to leave in disappointment.
At this time, Leng Kaihu said to the senior generals who stayed behind:
"Everyone, let's go to the conference room and have a small meeting."
His voice was deep and powerful, seeming to indicate that the upcoming meeting would be an important decision.
Shen Yiyi saw that there seemed to be nothing for her to do here, and was about to slip away, when General Takeda Nagayoshi said leisurely behind Leng Kaihu:
"Staff Officer Shen, come here too." There was a hint of unquestionableness in his words.
So, among a group of shining generals, Miss Shen Yiyi followed at the end with a frown on her face and walked into the small meeting room next to the command hall.
She secretly groaned, wondering why she was dragged into this important meeting.
As soon as everyone sat down, Rear Admiral Michel, the chief liaison officer of the counterattack fleet, couldn't help but express his doubts:
"General Takeda, why do we have to cancel the attack we have been preparing for for so long? The full-scale war preparation has made the soldiers very nervous. I am worried that canceling the attack plan at this time will affect morale."
There was a hint of anxiety and confusion in his voice.
Hearing this question, Takeda Changyi smiled, then waved to Shen Yiyi who had been hiding behind many generals, and said to her:
"Staff Officer Shen, you will be the one to answer Major General Michel's question." For some reason, there was a hint of teasing and expectation in his words.
Hearing this, Miss Shen was stunned. She stared at herself with disbelief and asked,
"You want me to answer? I don't know!"
There was a hint of panic and innocence in her voice, like a helpless little white rabbit.
"Ahem..." Takeda Changyi coughed twice awkwardly, and asked Shen Yiyi in a tone of disappointment:
"What are the eight words printed on the first page of the battle case collection you are reading now?"
Shen Yiyi shook her head, faced the inquiring eyes of the generals around her, took a deep breath, and recited loudly: "In everything on the battlefield, rhythm comes first."
Hearing this, Takeda Nagayoshi's expression eased a little. He changed to a persuasive tone and continued to ask:
"Now tell me why we insist on this counterattack."
Shen Yiyi hesitated for a moment. She saw that Takeda Changyi's eyes were full of expectation, as if he hoped that she could give a satisfactory answer. So she mustered up her courage and answered loudly:
"It's because we need to take control of the rhythm of the counterattack."
She paused and saw Takeda Nagayoshi nodded with slight approval, which made her feel a little relieved.
Then, she continued, "We must not let the enemy control the tempo of our battle. It seems that the enemy fleet that is currently confronting us in the Sea of Mist has been diverted by General Ivan, but it is very likely part of a trap set by the enemy."
"No matter how strong the enemy appears to be, the window of time they leave us is limited. So the tempo of the battlefield is now in the hands of the enemy. If we counterattack according to their tempo, we will inevitably fall into the opponent's tempo in the subsequent actions, which will cause us to suffer greater losses."
At this point, Shen Yiyi made a stunning analogy:
"It's like Aquaman and a bad girl are in love. Both sides have their own routines. Whoever falls into the other's routine first will be the one who cries first."
