After making a round of inspections at Stellar Academy, Lin Fan brought Liang Xue aboard the Uranus and arrived near Resource Star 37.
The First Legion's Third Fleet had now been established for half a month, and its commander was Brigadier General Emma!
At this moment, she was leading the fleet through drills in rapid formation changes, honing the coordination of the entire fleet!
Do not underestimate these rapid formation change drills. They were the most fundamental and also the most important component of an entire fleet's combat power.
Especially for Emma, who had inherited Lin Fan's style and would not use fixed formations, this greatly tested the abilities of the adjutants and command staff. Their job was to turn the commander's ideas into reality.
The most crucial part was changing the fleet's formation while underway. The fleet would not simply move on its own just because the commander said what formation to adopt.
After all, the captains of each warship did not know how they needed to move in order to turn the entire fleet into the formation the commander wanted.
This was where the adjutant and command staff came in. They had to correctly grasp the commander's intentions, then give detailed instructions on where each division fleet should move. Sometimes, they might even need to direct a specific squad to a certain position, ultimately arranging the entire fleet into the formation desired by the commander.
This was the most difficult part of fleet command. A single mistake could not only prevent them from forming the requested formation, but could even cause warships within their own fleet to collide.
Therefore, if they could not clear this hurdle, the fleet would never develop true combat power. Once it entered the battlefield, it would only be waiting to be slaughtered.
