Chapter 928: Pre-Battle Meeting

Kuer si ke was originally in the polar region's combat unit, responsible for the affairs of the East Arctic Ocean region.

Originally being transferred by the Soviet Alliance was somewhat reluctant, after all, the fleet led by Wuzang was strong, and this was also their main combat sea area, so it was obvious it wouldn't be her turn to fight.

Aside from a few individuals, most of the Northern Union's shipgirls are warlike, especially Kuer si ke, who calls herself a hunter and prefers to fight alone. Team combat is not unacceptable, but after coming here, it's obvious she's responsible for logistics and supply, so she's been a bit lax these two days.

But now, she won't be lax, because this time the enemy is the Siren outpost where the Testers are located, and being able to fight side by side with these ships is obviously a wonderful experience.

Seeing Kuer si ke readily agree, Wuzang smiled and said, "However, I have one condition; I hope you can agree to it."

"Oh, what condition?" Kuer si ke asked doubtfully, "Let me say in advance, although the Soviet Alliance has let me support your operation, if it harms the interests of the Northern Union, I cannot possibly agree."

"Hehe, no. If we were to harm the faction's interests, we wouldn't have dispatched a special support team to your Northern Union, would we?" Wuzang laughed.

"Then what exactly is the condition?" With Wuzang's promise, Kuer si ke put her mind at ease.

"I hope you will report after this operation is completed, to ensure the operation's secrecy." Wuzang said.

Kuer si ke blinked, "Do you really think the Sirens could possibly intercept our intelligence data?"

Wuzang chuckled, "I dare not say there is no such possibility, so for absolute secrecy, even we must not report this operation to the Gangqu."

Kuer si ke looked at Wuzang, thought for a moment, "I can agree to this condition, but after the battle ends, I will definitely report the results of this battle."

"Of course there's no problem; I'm talking about the situation before the battle, and as for what to report after the battle, that's up to you to decide." Wuzang nodded.

"Good, straightforward, then it's decided. When will the operation start? Also, how is the operation to be carried out, and what do I need to do?" Kuer si ke asked.

"The operation's start still requires several days of preparation, so there's no need to rush now; our submarine squadron is closely monitoring that area and ensuring they haven't discovered our intentions."

"We are currently arranging the next step's forces; as for the specific tactics, we cannot yet reveal them to you, but rest assured, your position when the time comes will be on the front line, so you should prepare well." Wuzang said.

"Then I'm relieved; besides that, is there anything else needed?" Kuer si ke asked.

"Nothing else; this time I came just to inform you of these two matters, and also to strengthen patrols nearby to prevent the Sirens from discovering our troop concentration." Wuzang said.

"Understood, just notify me when the time comes." Kuer si ke said.

"Hmm."

Two days later, the Sakura Empire's Main Force Fleet had almost completely gathered at Bide luoba fu luofu sike, and the operation to capture the Siren outpost was imminent.

Inside the base's meeting room, almost all of the Sakura Empire's senior leadership had gathered here; everyone's expressions varied, but all attention was focused on Wuzang, who sat in the chief seat.

"Everyone, I believe you've more or less heard about this: we discovered the Siren outpost where the Testers are located in Sea Area 76; so far, our submarine squadron has been monitoring it, and this time we're calling you back to launch an attack on the outpost." Wuzang said.

"This operation's tactics were designed by Tiancheng, making a surprise attack combined with full-scale combat the main approach. First, my elite squad will launch a surprise attack on the enemy outpost, then immediately enter the outpost to cause chaos within it."

"Afterward, the air corps formed from the aircraft carriers will provide aerial support, carrying out a strong strike, after which the main force will conduct full-scale combat to completely annihilate this outpost; our goal is to hold back the Testers and destroy her!"

"So Elder Wuzang's main purpose this time is to annihilate the Testers of the Experimental Mechanism, right?" Akagi asked.

"Yes, I believe our current operation has already been discovered by the Sirens, and the Testers are currently present at this outpost, which is to interfere with our next step's plan."

"To prevent her from hindering our steps, we must annihilate her here. Although she can still be reborn, after all that takes time, and during this period we can ensure this sea area faces no major obstruction." Wuzang said.

"A decisive battle? I actually like that. Then who are the members of the elite squad you mentioned earlier?" Jin gang asked with interest.

"After preliminary consideration, the tentative members of the elite squad are me, Xinong, Elder Zhang Men, Ji yin, Da feng, Dao feng, Ling Bo, Gao xiong, Ai dang, Wu shi ling, and Nengdai." Wuzang said.

"This lineup is indeed very strong, and also has advantages in air defense and airborne assault," Zhang Men nodded.

Although she dislikes war, she does not fear it either, especially since this operation is the Sakura Empire's entire effort, not only for humanity's future but also for the world's future, making it an unavoidable duty.

"Yes, after all, since we are conducting a surprise attack this time, we must maintain our own strength and can also engage the Sirens in direct combat." Wuzang said.

"Then have you informed the Commander of this battle plan? I have yet to see Elder Wuzang produce the Commander's approval." Xianghe asked.

"This operation, I have not reported to the Headquarters, but plan to report together after the operation ends." Wuzang smiled.

"Oh, are you planning to give the Commander a surprise?" Akagi said with a smile.

"Sometimes orders from abroad are not binding, and since we can launch a surprise attack, there's no need to engage in prolonged combat. The Commander's strategy is overly cautious and not suitable for this operation, so I believe we must make the most reasonable judgment based on the current situation." Wuzang replied.

"I think this decision is quite good; the Commander is fine in every way, sometimes he just likes to worry. As shipgirls, we should naturally be at the forefront of battle, not be protected by him." Qinglong said, pushing up her glasses.

"Then shall we all agree by vote?" Wuzang asked.

"Agree." Everyone nodded in unison.

"In that case, I have already contacted Kuer si ke of the Maritime Affairs Bureau here to prepare supplies for us; after a brief rest, we will set out for Sea Area 76 to conduct this surprise operation." Wuzang said.

"Understood!"
