Earth, Federal Presidential Palace.
A group of staff were called into the conference room again, and also the commander-in-chief Federal Fleet, Marshal Sanders, also participated.
When everyone entered the room, they found Lin Zhen sitting in the main seat with a dark face.
What's going on? The president was so angry that his face turned black. What happened?
The staff looked left and right, hoping to get answers from others, but unfortunately no one knew.
"Today, the front fleet has successfully captured Rao! The third phase of the operation has now officially begun!"
Listening to the president's words, everyone became more suspicious.
Isn't this a good thing? Everything is going well ahead. There is only one last step left to complete the biggest initiative in human history!
But why is President Lin so unhappy?
"Just an hour ago, the four fleet commanders held a combat meeting on the way. Admiral Liang Xingchen has sent the minutes of the meeting, allowing us to make a decision!"
These words confused everyone again.
But speaking of it, Lin Zhen was quite confused after just receiving the message from Liang Xingchen.
Do you want us to decide on the battle plan? We are not military professionals? Isn't this just messing around!
But when Lin Zhen finished reading the minutes of the meeting, his face turned dark immediately, and then there was such an impromptu meeting.
"I know what you are thinking? Does it sound like the frontline commander is messing around? I thought the same way before. You should read the meeting minutes sent by Liang Xingchen first!"
With that said, Ed on the side turned on the virtual projection that had been prepared.
In fact, the meeting records of this era are so-called virtual surveillance images. Everyone is watching the meeting of the four commanders as if they were watching a movie.
At first, everything was normal until Lin Fan started telling his tactics and answering Liang Xingchen's questions.
Everyone's expressions became strange. It was so shameless and despicable.
Then a burst of angry shouting suddenly resounded throughout the conference room.
"It's indeed a despicable tactic, but I like it! Good!"
This person is none other than Marshal Sanders. At this moment, his face was flushed with excitement and he stood up.
If you follow Lin Fan's tactics, it is indeed shameless, but it can reduce Federal Fleet's losses to an outrageous level.
Moreover, when fighting, isn't it a competition of who is more shameless? Shamelessness is the highest evaluation of a famous general, okay?
"What do you think of this tactic?"
At this time, Ed stopped and paused the playback of the virtual image, looked at the staff and asked.
"Let me start by saying that this tactic may seem shameless, but it actually magnifies one's strengths and minimizes one's weaknesses. Lin Fan is a famous general!"
Saunders directly gave the praise of a famous general.
Others also nodded. Although the staff were not military experts, they still understood the intention of Lin Fan's operation from the minutes of the meeting just now.
Indeed, if you follow Lin Fan's tactics, you can definitely kill Oakes Empire's Guard Fleet, and make its 5,000 quasi-fourth-level battleships completely useless.
Soon, everyone spoke one by one, all affirming this tactic, but everyone was still wondering, what exactly made President Lin so angry?
Of course, there are also several smart staff who have realized that all the answers should be in the image paused by Vice President.
"Okay, let's continue watching!"
After seeing that everyone had spoken, Ed continued to play the meeting minutes.
Three minutes later, when the meeting minutes were played, the conference room fell silent.
Everyone understood why President Lin looked angry.
"Crack!"
"It's outrageous. It's really outrageous. Richard (Deputy Commander-in-Chief Federal Fleet) actually promoted such a person to the position of Commander Third Fleet. It's outrageous!"
Saunders The old marshal is really angry. What the hell is this guy Quit saying? Let such a person command the fleet, sooner or later all the soldiers will be killed!
"As the old marshal said, it's really outrageous! In order to implement your own ideas, you don't take the lives of soldiers seriously?"
"Indeed, if we follow Lieutenant General Quait's intention, wouldn't it mean we have to go back to the era of queuing up and shooting people?"
"Nonsense, does he think that space war is a medieval knight duel?"
"I suggest you conduct a thorough investigation on how such a person became a lieutenant general. His thoughts are beyond my imagination!"
All the staff are also critics of you and me.
"Quiet!"
Looking at the somewhat chaotic conference room, Lin Zhen started to drink and stopped for a moment!
Everyone looked at Lin Zhen and immediately became quiet.
"The reason why Admiral Liang Xingchen interrupted the combat meeting and gave us the minutes of the meeting, do you understand what it means? He didn't want the fleet to start fighting before the war started! Now I ask you, how should this matter be handled?"
"President, I suggest that an order be issued immediately to remove Quat Klein from his position as Third Fleet, and that Liang Xingchen or Lin Fan take command on his behalf until a new commander is elected!"
Saunders immediately spoke out his thoughts, and he wanted to remove Quint Klein from his position!
"President, I agree with Marshal Saunders's opinion. Let Quint Klein participate in the final battle. One person will do bad things if he doesn't do it well. His ideological problems are too big!"
Ed also said, if you don't care, who knows what Quete will do in the final battle! If it really leads to internal conflict in the fleet as Liang Xingchen fears, then the entire battle plan will be in vain, right?
All the staff also spoke in agreement!
"Okay, Marshal Saunders, then you make arrangements as soon as possible. Federal Fleet headquarters will issue an order to relieve Quat Klein of all his duties. As for whether Liang Xingchen or Lin Fan will take command for the time being, I have no objection. You can make your own arrangements!"
"Yes, President!"
Saunders stood up, saluted, and ran out quickly. He had to go back and deal with this matter immediately, he couldn't delay it!
After Saunders left, Lin Zhen looked at the staff again and continued to speak.
"I think the fleet's promotion system needs to be greatly revised. First of all, starting from today, if anyone who has never been on the battlefield wants to be promoted to the rank of general, I will not sign. We must completely put an end to such people who talk on paper!"
"You know, in the past, in peaceful times, promotion based on seniority was impossible. After all, there would be no military merit without war. But what is our situation now? We are in the middle of an interstellar war!"
"Therefore, Federal Fleet must make rectifications. General merit is the main way to be promoted. If you want to be promoted, go to the front line! Sitting in the office in the rear safety area, but being promoted faster than the frontline officers and soldiers, we will never allow it to happen again in the future!"
A group of staff below looked at Lin Zhen and were shocked.
There's going to be a big earthquake now.
