Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Hank is indeed a recruit, but this is only based on the length of service. In fact, any qualified soldier knows very well that the difference between recruits and veterans is not just the length of service, but the experience.  The number of wars.  At this point, Hank believes that he is not inferior to the other party at all.  In just half a year, they experienced countless wars and wars. Patilina put almost all the war situations she encountered on them, tracking, counterattacking, and surrounding them.  , encirclement and suppression, escape, attack. From this aspect, Hank is no longer a new soldier, but a veteran who has experienced many battles.  His idea is exactly the same as that of Captain Balk, which is to use bait to lure the opponent into a terrain that is favorable to him, and then use defense instead of attack.  It's just that compared to Captain Balk, Hank is more conservative. He chose to use the reconnaissance fleet as bait because the reconnaissance fleet is a high-speed reconnaissance ship. The advantage in speed should be enough to make up for the large number of ships.  part of the problem.  And now it depends on whether the other party is fooled.  Looking at the light spot approaching the reconnaissance fleet in front of him, Hank couldn't help but stretched out his hand and straightened his collar.  At the same time, the gryphon knights responsible for the reconnaissance also discovered the reconnaissance fleet above the clouds.  As Hank expected, they were not stupid enough to launch a direct attack on the metal battleship. Instead, they immediately retreated after conducting some reconnaissance and reported what they observed to Captain Balk.  "How many battleships does the opponent have in total?" "Three, sir." "Yes." After hearing the report from the Griffin Knight, Captain Balk couldn't help but fell into deep thought.  If it is an ordinary war, then he also needs to consider whether the other side will have other fleets participating in the battle.  However, this time the battle between the two sides was based on the premise that all the battleships in Academy City were built by the students themselves.  So, how many warships can they build in just one year?  According to Balk¡¯s opinion, not even one is possible.  However, Commander Nicholas clearly informed them that the other party not only built warships, but also started construction and completed several warships together.  Of course, Master Nicholas did not disclose the specific number of battleships because it involved the fate agreement.  But in Balke's opinion, there probably won't be too many.  "What's the size of the battleship?" "Slightly smaller than the Galen-class light battleship." "Yeah" This is in line with Balk's guess. In such a short period of time, the other party will naturally not be able to build the kind he has seen before.  Huge battleship, this kind of light battleship is in line with my guess.  From this point of view, the opponent should be planning to focus on guerrilla warfare and avoid direct confrontation as much as possible.  If this is the case, then they should not stay in place for too long, but if they can find their location, they can at least make some predictions and judgments about their next course of action.  In terms of the number of battleships, the main fleet led by Balk has a total of fifteen mixed battleships, plus the ten battleships of the task force, which far exceeds the enemy in terms of both the number of personnel and the number of battleships.  In fact, Balk had received the news from the task force at this moment, requesting that all efforts be made to eliminate the opponent.  But Balk decided to act cautiously, although the other party was not his opponent from any perspective.  But they will not underestimate the enemy because of this. This is an important moment that determines the survival of the empire. No matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful.  Although the other party behaves like a rookie, it is better not to take it too lightly until you are sure that the other party is really a rookie.  ¡°However, not everyone agrees with Captain Balk¡¯s judgment.  "That's nonsense!!" Looking at the order transmitted through magic, Christopher snorted disdainfully. He is the commander-in-chief of the task force and the second-ranking leader of the combined fleet.  This time it was he who led the task force to join forces with Balk's First Fleet to fight against the opponent.  Unlike Balk, Christopher is not a stable and experienced commander.  His face looked like a grinning wolf, and in fact the task force itself fit the temperament of a wolf pack.  They never engage in frontal combat, but are good at sneak attacks from behind, side attacks and other operations.  Because of this, the task force is basically composed of high-speed battleships, and what they are best at is mobile warfare. Asking them to defend here is like asking the cavalry to stand still in formation.  It's just a waste.  ¡°So what if the other party might have a backhand?  As long as these three battleships are defeated, the enemy will have to respond. By then, won't it be able to defeat the opponent better?  It's better than waiting here. Could it be that BalknaOld guy, can you only think of this method?  "Send another letter to General Balk, saying that we think it is not a good idea to wait like this. The task force requests to set off first and launch an attack on the enemy." Christopher issued the order again in displeasure, and then  Picking up the pipe and putting it in his mouth, he had already decided that no matter what answer Balk gave this time, he would launch an attack.  After receiving Christopher¡¯s report again, Balk sighed helplessly.  He actually didn't want the task force to be his assistant.  In any history, any dynasty, any country and any force, struggles and confrontations between the central army and local warlords are always inevitable.  Therefore, he who commanded the First Army did not have a harmonious relationship with the task force itself. In fact, Balke initially thought that Christopher would refuse his appointment as second in command, but what he did not expect was that the other party would actually  Just accept that this was not unexpected by Balk.  "Send a telegram to Commander Christopher. I agree with him to launch an attack, but he must cooperate with the actions of the First Fleet. They will launch the attack first, and we will provide rear support." "Is there no problem with this? Your Excellency?" Hear  Balk's reply made the adjutant standing next to him ask in surprise.  According to Balk's plan, they planned to stay put and compete with each other for patience.  In Balk's view, in any case, those new recruits should not have too much patience, and most of the young people are young and energetic. As long as they delay it long enough, they will definitely seek changes. By that time, he will be able to see  Come up with more questions and keys.  However, Christopher's response method is completely opposite to Balk's. This is not to say that the commanding abilities of the two are any better. In fact, as a strong general, Christopher's own commanding ability is also highly praised by the Rainbow Council.  , if I insist on talking about it, it is the difference in command style between the two.  Balk seeks stability more, but Christopher is better at "moving". Under such circumstances, it is impossible for both sides to compromise with the other, so the best way is to let the other side take action.  ¡°I knew it¡± received another response from Captain Balk, and Christopher also showed an excited smile. He tapped his pipe lightly, and then immediately gave the order.  "Order the wolves to outflank from the right, wait for my order to launch an attack, and fire immediately as soon as you enter the shooting range! Before that, do not send more gryphon knights to avoid alerting the enemy." After receiving the order, "The wolves  "Immediately began to move quickly. They cut through the sky with a whistling trajectory, hiding in the heavy fog in the valley, approaching the target.  Just like a pack of wolves in the forest, hiding among the woods and bushes, they carefully search, surround their prey, and launch attacks.  However, they didn¡¯t know that everything they did at this moment was already shown in front of Hank¡¯s eyes.  "It really deserves to be a task force." When watching the light spots on the screen moving forward at a smooth and fast speed, Hank couldn't help but sigh.  He had also heard of the reputation of the task force.  But actually seeing the other party's actions is another matter.  Now Hank is no longer a ignorant recruit, so he is still very impressed by the opponent's formation actions.  You must know how difficult it is to maintain an offensive formation under high-speed movement without being discovered by the enemy. Patilina has given them personal experience more than once.  Because of this, when he saw the task force's actions, Hank also understood that he had encountered a powerful enemy.  Christopher did not foolishly choose to swarm him, nor would a real wolf pack choose this way.  And as he said, the reason why he chose to attack the enemy was to make them change. From this point of view, Christopher can be said to be half successful. After all, Hank did not let his investigation  It means that the fleet was beaten in vain.  ¡°However, he is not willing to expose his trump card.  "Order the reconnaissance fleet to be ready for battle. When attacked, immediately set off to the three o'clock direction. After getting rid of the enemy's pursuit, activate the probe and grasp the surrounding situation as much as possible." Regarding the combat effectiveness of his own warships  , Hank has enough confidence. Although the reconnaissance fleet is a bait, and the opponent does act based on the bait, Hank has no intention of wanting the opponent to swallow the bait.  After all, the opponent only dispatched a task force, and such a small fish was not worthy of using his trump card.  As he faced it, Hank looked at the command screen in front of him.  There, the shining light is approaching rapidly.  To be continued.
