Chapter 936

Since we entered the 76th sea area, we haven't run into the Siren Fleet; it looks like the fighting here is intense! Washington said while advancing, over the comms.

Sakura Empire's move this time is huge; I keep feeling their plan isn't that shallow—perhaps even our support this time was part of their plan. North Carolina said while advancing.

I also think there's a problem; when I earlier sent a message to Tiancheng, her behavior seemed a bit deliberate. Bunker Hill said calmly.

After all, we are the Fifty-eighth Task Force; although our forces are now scattered, aside from the two units led by New Jersey and Enterprise, our combat power is the strongest in the White Eagle! Ticonderoga said with a smile.

I'm getting confused by what you're saying—did Sakura Empire trick the commander this time? Princeton wondered.

Bunker Hill, looking ahead at the sea, said, "No, they didn't trick the commander; if I'm not mistaken, they deliberately made it that way so the commander would notice." Then he added, "Tiancheng and Wu Zang are both very sharp—don't they know that altering the sea battle reports over several days would raise the commander's suspicions?"

So they deliberately did this to let the commander discover their big move? Baltimore asked.

It's possible, you know—if we let them come and discuss countermeasures with us, this matter would likely be reported to the commander, and the strategy adopted afterward definitely wouldn't be as sudden as this time.

The quickest way to save time is to act first and report later. Prepare a plan for the sea area stronghold, then use the commander to mobilize us to join this operation—no denying, Sakura Empire's strategy in this regard is really playing it fine. Ticonderoga laughed and said.

And most importantly, the main force of this operation is definitely theirs; given Sakura Empire's current strength, I believe they've already taken that sea area stronghold before we arrive.

Although there will be some damage, it's entirely within what they can accept. Afterwards, we'll coordinate with them and launch a full-scale operation against the North Pacific near the Bering Strait.

This is probably also what the commander wants to see, so our operation can only reap some minor benefits, which are completely insignificant compared to what Sakura Empire gains.

If that's the case, do we still have to go help them? Washington immediately became a bit unhappy.

Don't you forget, our going to the 76th sea area to assist them is the commander's order? Bunker Hill said.

Hiss… feels like there's no loophole. Cleveland sucked in a breath and said.

Hehe, what do you think made the commander previously value Tiancheng so much? North Carolina laughed.

So does this mean we're eating a dumb loss this time? Baden asked.

No, after all we're going to this sea area under the pretense of support; although we won't gain much from this battle, Sakura Empire does owe us a favor—even if they won't admit it verbally, that's the fact.

In the future, when we encounter a need for military support in the East Pacific, do you think Sakura Empire will lend a hand? North Carolina said.

The doubtful crowd froze, then reacted. Although there's no obvious favor owed, secretly the favor has already been incurred. After all, it's just showing off in front of Qin Ge—this time it's my turn, next time it'll be yours.

The harbor area has always been the shipgirls' harbor; although everyone belongs to the same harbor, between factions they still want their own commander to pay more attention to themselves, but they'll never reach the point of mutual opposition—only mutual comparison.

After figuring all this out, the whole team couldn't help but relax.

How do I feel—sometimes when our White Eagle faces other factions, we always seem to be at a disadvantage. Sakura Empire and Donghuang factions have strategists like Tiancheng and Zhenhai; even Iron Blood has people like Bisimai and Frederick with deep scheming, our White Eagle… uh, who counts as a strategist? Cleveland said.

Eh, that's true. Baltimore couldn't help but nod speechlessly, "What about Enterprise? Her combat power is strong, but asking her to do those strategic tasks would be a bit hard on her."

Not to mention New Jersey—she's just carefree, and bringing up battle plans gives her a headache.

Essex is even less confident; whenever she runs into a problem, she goes to Enterprise.

Saint Louis actually has lots of ideas, but most of the time she's not serious. After all, it seems our White Eagle really doesn't have a strategist-type person.

The advancing squad, hearing this, couldn't help but laugh at once. Even Bunker Hill, who usually keeps a straight face, couldn't help but smirk.

North Carolina and the others couldn't help but laugh, "This might just be due to cultural differences."

Oh, what's North Carolina's take? Ticonderoga asked.

You also know, I once stayed in Donghuang for a long time, so I naturally understand some Donghuang culture. In Donghuang warfare, they always emphasize one thing: plan before acting.

So whether it's Donghuang or Sakura Empire, under this cultural influence, strategist-like figures naturally appear.

It's just like the pre-battle rehearsal we need to do, imagining almost every possible situation in combat, striving to gain the maximum benefit at the smallest cost.

Our situation, however, is completely different; we focus more on adapting on the fly and seizing opportunities on the battlefield.

Take Enterprise, for example; if we were to describe her using Donghuang's terms, she would be a general who is both brave and resourceful. No matter what situation arises on the battlefield, she can always make the judgment most favorable to our side, which is why her secret to constant victory lies therein. North Carolina explained with a smile.

So I think although the two have some differences, essentially they are both aimed at achieving victory, only the methods differ somewhat.

Moreover, even looking at past history, our strategies against the Sakura Empire have never been at a disadvantage.

"Indeed." Bunker Hill nodded, "Each faction has its own characteristics: the Sakura Empire and Donghuang's strategies, Iron Blood's scheming, the Northern Union's unity, Iris's faith, Sardin's glory, and of course our White Eagle's forward march."

"Forward march? Hehe, indeed our White Eagle is just suited for that! No matter the enemy's strength, we'll charge in and fight first, then talk!" Washington exclaimed excitedly.

"\"Washington, that's not a forward march, that's recklessness! \" North Carolina couldn't help but rub his forehead, \"A forward march means not fearing difficulties and advancing bravely, not just charging in to fight the enemy and then talking. \""

"Well, anyway, it's basically the same meaning..."

"Haha..."
