Chapter 193: Team Competition Results
The total number of participants in the team competition was still less than that of the individual competition; in the end, the number of teams that signed up at Anshan was about 100.
After all, from the individual competition, first-year students had already seen the gap with second-year students, and after the team competition, the advantage of the second-year students widened even further.
Therefore, relatively few first-year students joined the team competition; most just wanted to exchange training with their seniors, invited a few close friends, and formed a team to sign up.
And pairings of first- and second-year students like Chen Bo Jun, Li Chenming, and Wang Yueqin were still relatively few.
After waiting for all team captains to draw lots, they then entered one battle after another.
The rules of the team competition differed from those of the individual competition, so everyone basically understood what they needed to do. However, compared to the individual competition, the team competition had an additional command position.
That is, all ships in the fleet were equipped with communication devices, and then one person was chosen within the team to command the entire team.
Therefore, here teamwork, coordination, and mutual trust among teams are highly emphasized.
Because if there is no mutual trust, it is likely that the shipgirls of three different commanders would refuse to obey each other's orders and act according to their own will, causing the entire joint front to collapse, after which the opposing side would destroy it.
This resulted in that, even though the team added a few shipgirls and some firepower, its ending time was actually much faster than that of the individual competition.
Of course, there were also some slow cases, such as failing to grasp the attack rhythm or having confused attack targets, etc.
This truly is an exercise, as Anshan said before; if such behavior occurred on the battlefield, the resulting consequences would be unimaginable.
Therefore, the purpose of the team competition is to remind commanders that while personal factors are important, in real combat no one fights alone, and true strength lies in the team's power.
And this purpose was especially evident when those commanders faced off against Chen Bo Jun, Li Chenming, and Wang Yueqin.
Their superb coordination and tightly packed attacks left the opposing commanders only able to scramble to respond, with no way to break through; even if they tried to rely on their powerful shipgirls to charge out a breakthrough line, it was completely grasped by the opposing side and this idea was shattered at the outset.
Therefore, compared to the individual competition, the team competition almost became a performance stage for the few members of the New Sea Grand Fleet.
Any commander facing their formation could not withstand several waves of attacks and consequently suffered defeat one after another.
When the team competition entered its third day and Chen Bo Jun and his two companions stepped onto the podium, everyone felt as if they were in a dream.
As for this dream, the entire second-year class still had a vivid memory of it.
Because last year at this time, someone also similarly stood on the champion's stage, but those people won relying on their own powerful shipgirls and large numbers; however, this year everyone who encountered Chen Bo Jun and his group suffered a defeat they accepted wholeheartedly.
Because the opposing side not only completely outclassed them in shipgirl proficiency and level, but also completely outclassed them in command.
So if, after the individual competition ended, everyone only felt curiosity toward the Star Sea Grand Fleet, then the conclusion of this team competition filled everyone with longing for the Star Sea Grand Fleet.
Because most first-year students discovered that their peers in the same year actually surpassed the second-year students in tactics.
And it also let them understand what is meant by team strength.
Therefore, when the three stepped onto the field, the audience below burst into enthusiastic applause, and everyone looked at them with admiring and hopeful eyes.
"Commander Chen Bo Jun, this is your second time stepping onto the podium after breaking through several days; compared to the individual competition champion earlier, what does the team competition champion mean to you? Is there anything you need to share with the many commanders below us?"
Following Anshan's question, Chen Bo Jun took the microphone: "Actually, for me, I feel that the team competition champion is far more worth remembering and exciting than the individual competition champion.
Because our commander said that on the battlefield, perhaps relying on some individuals' key performances can change a local battlefield.
But to truly change the entire battlefield environment from the root, it must be the team's strength, so our training has always been based on the team as a standard.
And the method we used is exactly the three-three system method that our commander previously lectured on in the tactics class; if everyone had listened carefully to that lesson, they should be clear about the tactics and strategies we have employed.
Therefore, winning this team competition championship is both an acknowledgment of the principles we have consistently upheld and an encouragement for us to continue uniting and cooperating, striving to make our Star Sea Grand Fleet flourish.
Anshan smiled, glanced at the nodding Qin Ge below the stage, then turned his eyes to the several people and said, "All along, Commander Chen Bo Jun has been praising the advantages of Commander Qin Ge and the benefits of joining the Star Sea Grand Fleet.
So I ask here, are you this time intending to recruit personnel for the Star Sea Grand Fleet?"
"Yes, we have this idea, after all I will graduate soon, and afterward the number of people in the Star Sea Grand Fleet will decrease. Therefore, I hope that through this exercise league we can attract more people to join our Star Sea Grand Fleet, to join our newly established Grand Fleet.
However, I declare here that our Grand Fleet, being newly established, does not have the abundant resources that other Grand Fleets have for you to use, but there will be corresponding subsidies for these, and the training in our Grand Fleet is relatively strict, so one needs to carefully consider before joining the Grand Fleet.
Furthermore, our Grand Fleet is a force preparing to go to the front line, so we need brave people, those who dare to face real danger.
So if everyone chooses our Grand Fleet, please consider everything in advance." Chen Bo Jun said, looking at the excited crowd below.
And Chen Bo Jun's words were like a basin of cold water poured directly onto the heads of those excited people.
After all, large armies with the front line as their goal are not nonexistent but very few; and now a Grand Fleet that hasn't even left campus yet has the front line as its goal—just think about it.
"It seems Commander Chen Bai Jun has explained things very clearly; I believe others also understood. If they want to join your Grand Fleet, I don't know who to contact?
Is it the Grand Fleet's commander, Instructor Qin Ge, or you?" Anshan said with a smile.
"I am merely an ordinary member in the Grand Fleet; now the Grand Fleet's commander is Instructor Qin Ge, and the Grand Fleet's vice commander is Li Chenming beside me.
So if everyone wants to join our Grand Fleet, please contact Vice Commander Li Chenming." Chen Bo Jun said to Anshan with a smile.
"Really, it's somewhat surprising that someone as strong as you is not the vice commander of your Grand Fleet." Anshan said, somewhat surprised.
"Our commander once said something I think is good: that the division of labor in the revolution differs, so each of us accepts our assignment." Chen Bo Jun replied.
