Chapter 691 Meeting
The sound of artillery shells lingered in my ears, and the roar of carrier-based aircraft never stopped.
As the leader of the White Eagles, Enterprise hadn't had a good night's sleep for nearly a month. The daily battle reports from the front made her heart sink deeper and deeper, and the expectations she had before were gone now.
Before the Siren Tide began, Qin Ge once told her that the Siren Tide offensive that might come this time would be more powerful than before, and that she must be prepared for timely defense and alertness.
Although his sister also agreed with Qin Ge's analysis, the White Eagle was an equal and free camp , and it was impossible for the company to make decisions alone. Especially for a decision as big as the camp decision, it was even more impossible for a single person to have the final say.
Therefore, in the high-level meeting, this resolution was made by voting. However, it seemed that the name Qin Ge was unpopular among the White Eagle high-level officials. After all, he had taken away the glory that should have belonged to him in the Sakura Empire, so most people were somewhat dismissive of his suggestion.
The final voting result was also very obvious. The vast majority of votes agreed to follow the previous defense strategy, and only a very small number of people were willing to implement Qin Ge's suggestion.
Therefore, they missed the best period to arrange defenses, and when they tried to defend according to the original strategy, they encountered the Siren Tide and were beaten to a loss.
The subsequent tactical arrangements and defensive strategies were completely ineffective. In order to reverse the defeat, even though the company itself had gone to the battlefield many times, the power of one person is always limited. Although it could play a positive role in promoting the battlefield, it could not play a decisive role.
Now that the White Eagle has reached the most critical moment, he is powerless and can only fight a desperate battle with the other major camps like a desperate dog.
If her sister York had not brought the news that Qin Ge was coming to help, she would probably have headed to the Siren stronghold waters with the determination to die.
Just as Qiye was lost in thought, the office door opened and a familiar figure appeared in front of her.
"Enterprise, they've arrived." Yorktown looked at Enterprise, who looked a little haggard, sitting at the desk, and said with some heartache.
Enterprise stood up in surprise. "So soon? I thought it would take another two days."
"Commander Qin Ge is a master of tactics, so speed is of the essence in war, and this principle is particularly evident in his execution," said Yorktown.
"So where are they now?" Enterprise asked.
“Essex brought them to the meeting room of the temporary command center. I didn’t let anyone disturb them for the time being. After all, their reception level is not high enough.
In addition to Commander Qin Ge's fleet, there are also reinforcements from the Sakura Empire and the Eastern Empire, so this involves two camps... No, this is a high-level meeting of three camps, and you should come in person." Yorktown said.
"Okay, I understand. Besides, others are aiding us and we are the rescued . If we are still putting on airs to this extent, then it would be too..." Enterprise didn't say anything else, but Yorktown on the opposite side understood what she meant.
"You are not wrong, it's just that some people in the upper echelons of this camp are wrong. This time it is very obvious that when it comes to emergency decisions, we must have the power to make decisions.
Otherwise, if everything is based on voting, it is very likely to lead to wrong judgments. And you see, after something like this happened, those people hid faster than rabbits, and in the end it was not us and those commanders who were at the forefront. "Yorktown said angrily.
“Sister…” Enterprise looked at Yorktown and couldn’t help but smile, “This is all the bitter fruit we have bred ourselves. If it’s not this Siren Tide, maybe the next Siren Tide will expose it, so this is something we must go through.
It's good now, at least the situation can still be salvaged. Let's go and meet Commander Qin Ge. I've heard his name many times and we've had video conferences together, but I've never met him in person."
"Don't worry, you won't be let down." York City said with a smile.
The two smiled at each other, then quickly left the office and walked towards the operations meeting room.
At this moment in the combat meeting room, Qin Ge was drinking the tea made for him by White Eagle Harman, and was waiting for the arrival of the White Eagle's top brass with his ship girl, as well as representatives from Sakura Empire and Eastern Empire.
Harman stood next to Essex, looking at Qin Ge and the ship girls beside him with some curiosity .
"Essex." Harman whispered, "Why does that ship girl look a bit like White Eagle? I've never seen her before."
Essex followed Harman's gaze and then explained to Harman in a low voice, "That is indeed our White Eagle's ship girl, and she is our White Eagle's new battleship, New Jersey."
"New Jersey? Is that the biggest and strongest black dragon?" Harman asked in surprise.
"Yes, I heard from Ticonderoga that she, like Shinano and Frederick the Great, is a legendary ship girl at sea," said Essex.
"Oh, that's amazing, but it's a pity that it's not in our White Eagle." Harman said with some regret.
Facing Harman's words, Essex could only pull the corners of her mouth and smile helplessly. She also hoped that such a fleet could appear in White Eagle, but this was just a hope, and it was impossible in reality.
At this moment, the door of the conference room was knocked, and several figures walked in.
Qin Ge looked carefully and found that in addition to the more familiar Yorktown, there were also some familiar yet unfamiliar ship girls.
Based on their ship equipment, Qin Ge was able to recognize Enterprise, Washington, Saratoga and others.
Seeing Bai Ying coming, Qin Ge naturally stood up. After all, if he still sat down, it would be a bit impolite to Bai Ying.
Leaving his seat and walking towards Qiye, Qin Ge and Qiye stood face to face. Looking at Qiye, who looked a little haggard, Qin Ge stretched out his hand and said, "Although we have met many times in video conferences before, this is the first time we are face to face.
Hello, Enterprise. "
"Hello, Commander Qin Ge, Ning Hai, and Zuikaku. On behalf of all the White Eagles, I would like to thank you for coming." Enterprise said, holding Qin Ge's hand.
As a leader for so many years, Enterprise naturally has her own vision. When they met and greeted each other, the representatives of Donghuang and Chongying were obviously following Qin Ge. So it was confirmed that this time the support was mainly based on him, so Enterprise naturally had to put Qin Ge in the front, not Chongying or Donghuang.
"The situation is urgent, so let's not say those polite words. I heard from Yorktown before that you are planning to join forces with other camps to plan a counterattack against the Siren stronghold waters. Why don't you introduce your plan to us first." After putting down his hands, Qin Ge didn't say any more polite words, but asked straight to the point.
Enterprise nodded, "Okay, let's sit down and talk."
"Um."
