Chapter 85: Have You Ever Thought About Writing This Book?

When the class time reached halfway, Qin Ge finally finished explaining the defensive composition and offensive elements of the Triangle Tactic to everyone.

At that moment, a Major General commander sitting in the front row raised his hand; Qin Ge nodded at him. That Major General commander stood up and said to Qin Ge, "Hello, Instructor Qin Ge. I am a commander from the Front Line, and I just heard your lecture on the Triangle Tactic; I am very interested."

Through your lecture, I have learned a lot, but I still have a problem troubling me: how to use the Triangle Tactic to launch a powerful attack to achieve the goal of annihilating the enemy?

Qin Ge nodded, "The focus of the Triangle Tactics we just discussed is defense; if we want to attack, we cannot simply use this tactic as a group for offense, so we need to optimize the Triangle Tactic."

If we assign each point of the triangle to a person, we form a small triangle. If I then place another triangle beside it, would the battle line of four people be lengthened? Then, if we place an upright triangle between two inverted triangles?

As Qin Ge spoke, he began drawing on the blackboard: two inverted triangles plus one upright triangle formed a trapezoidal attack formation.

"This tactic is called the Three-Three System Tactic. It is very suitable when our numbers are inferior to the enemy's and our firepower is weaker than theirs."

Its main point is to strategically concentrate superior forces, in principle appropriately disperse troop density to avoid casualties from enemy concentrated firepower, emphasizing close coordination, echeloned advance, and alternating cover during the attack.

This tactic fits well with our shipgirls' naval formation, because our shipgirls are mostly agile, unlike the Siren Fleet which clusters but is clumsy.

Therefore, dividing each fleet into such nine‑person combat teams allows us, while dodging enemy fire, to swiftly annihilate the enemy with concentrated firepower, open a gap, and thus achieve the goal of splitting the enemy forces.

Upon hearing Qin Ge's lecture, many people immediately sketched this formation and calculated where their shipgirls should stand, etc.

"This tactic is a very classic offensive tactic, but its drawback is that it requires close coordination and echeloned advance, so training it may take some time."

However, once the shipgirls master this tactic, even a small destroyer flotilla can gain the ability to shake a heavy‑armored fleet.

Moreover, if we place a few battleship shipgirls or carrier shipgirls at those central points, the firepower will be extremely fierce; a typical small Siren Fleet cannot withstand this surge of superior firepower.

Furthermore, when our commanders direct fleets, they also have dedicated radio communicators, allowing them to switch combat formations at any time based on battlefield intelligence.

Even if enemy ambushes appear on our flank or rear, we can completely reorient the entire triangle's position at any time, switching between offense and defense.

A group of people kept nodding during Qin Ge's lecture, realizing that enemies who previously gave them headaches could now be easily defeated under this tactic.

Especially commanders of large fleets who have many destroyers also saw their future hopes in the Three‑Three System Tactic.

A single destroyer's firepower against a heavy‑armored battleship is limited, but what about three? Or nine? Under such superior concentrated firepower, no heavy‑armored battleship can withstand it.

Moreover, the Siren Tide is about to occur; for them this tactic is like timely rain. Furthermore, coordination among shipgirls is not like human coordination; it requires close cooperation.

As long as you have clear orders and the commander directs properly, you can completely shorten this process by using combat instead of training.

Soon this Strategy and Tactics Course ended amid applause from the commanders; whether they came from the Front Line or were commanders of nearby large fleets, they all gained much from this lesson.

Especially the commanders who had attended Qin Ge's previous lecture understood the Triangle Defense Tactic more deeply than others, because this Triangle Defense Tactic is a classic practical application of battlefield defense theory; by merely combining it with the earlier defensive theory, one can fully derive one's own defense system.

After class, Qin Ge did not linger in the classroom but returned to the preparation room beside the Grand Lecture Hall. Shortly after, the Prince of Wales arrived with his shipgirls.

"Qin Ge, you explained those two tactics excellently; were they validated by prior combat theory?" the Prince of Wales said to Qin Ge.

Qin Ge stood up and said to the Prince of Wales, "That's right; this tactic has indeed been tested in countless battles as a classic defensive and assault tactic. Moreover, these tactics were previously used in the army, but I think they are also very suitable for shipgirls."

"Oh?" the Prince of Wales exclaimed doubtfully, "Were these tactics previously army tactics?"

Qin Ge nodded, "Whether it's depth or tactical interpenetration, the army's flexibility on land is the highest, so the prototype of this tactic is the army."

But I discovered that shipgirls on the sea surface exhibit the same flexibility and rapid mobility as ordinary people on land, leaving a deep impression on me. Therefore, I used this tactic during yesterday's exercise with Fushun.

After verification, this tactic is indeed feasible, so I explained its concrete implementation steps in today's lesson.

"Hmm, indeed as you said." The Prince of Wales nodded, smiling at Qin Ge, "I am really looking forward to what classic tactics you will produce in the future."

Qin Ge involuntarily scratched his head, "In fact, warfare changes endlessly but stays true to its principles; any tactic that can annihilate the enemy is a good tactic. It is not necessary to follow the theory of past classic tactics and battles, so I merely taught them some basic tactical theory."

Then I let them combine their actual circumstances to build their own tactical system. However, I will also lecture on classic tactics similar to this Triangle Defense Tactic and Three‑Part System Tactic in the future. As long as I verify that this tactic is feasible, I will share every detail with everyone without reservation.

The Prince of Wales nodded, "That's really great. By the way, have you ever thought about writing a book on your own tactics?"

Qin Ge was startled by the Prince of Wales's proposal, "Me? Write a book……"
