"What's going on? Why did he suddenly invite us to dinner?”Chen Ming walked to Hu Liang's side and asked softly.
"We're not on the same side as them. If we don't have anything to do, we're either traitors or thieves. Since this was the case, it should be his father who ordered him to take over the command of the ship.”Hu Liang seemed to be used to this kind of thing and said directly.
"Uh, I don't think you'll give him the military power.”"After all, General Huang hopes that you can keep half of the people. It's not as simple as keeping them for dinner," said Chen Ming.”
"What do you think?" Hu Liang gave him a meaningful smile.
Everyone walked into the banquet hall together, and the [Ship Girl] beside them was naturally taken elsewhere to eat. The remaining people were the commanders of the ship ladies.
The reason why they did this was because everyone had already tacitly agreed to discuss what needed to be discussed at this dinner. Therefore, this was both a dinner and a meeting to discuss tactics.
Of course, there was one person who wasn't the commander, and that was the commander of this operation, Lieutenant Liu Ying.
Everyone sat according to their military ranks. Sitting at the head of the table was Lieutenant Colonel Hu Liang, who had just arrived, followed by Major Liu Hao, Li Hang, Tang Rui, Zhao Jiajia, Gong Guye, and finally Chen Ming. Liu Ying sat down opposite Chen Ming, and the meeting began.
Chen Ming wasn't dissatisfied with Liu Hao's arrangement of placing him in the last seat. Instead, he was happy and at ease. Right now, he was just watching the show. He only needed to watch Hu Liang's performance. At most, he would be a sidekick and only need to speak when necessary.
However, Liu Hao didn't want him to be idle. As soon as he sat down, he asked as if he was ready to fight,"It seems like someone didn't come to this meeting. First Lieutenant Chen Ming, Captain Liang Shiqin should be staying with you, right? I won't say anything about you leaving the garrison without permission, but can you explain why Captain Liang Shiqin didn't come to this meeting?”
"First of all, I want to correct your mistake. According to the order of document No. DH-dd-7753B, the area I'm stationed in is the Fujima archipelago of the Ogasawara Islands, and the East Island belongs to the Fujima archipelago. Therefore, your accusation of me leaving the garrison area is not valid.”Chen Ming dipped the sashimi on the table into the water and gestured to Hu Liang,"The sashimi tastes good."
Hu Liang understood what Chen Ming wanted to say and chimed in," According to Lieutenant Chen Ming's report, the island he's stationed on is the East Island, which is located in the east of the Father Island. It belongs to the Father Island's defense zone. In addition, Chen Ming has also completed his daily patrol mission, so there's no malfeasance.”
Seeing that Hu Liang had already spoken, Liu Hao did not intend to continue arguing over this matter. His main goal was to use Liang Shiqin's absence as an excuse to gain the upper hand in this meeting. What he said now was just an addition. It was fine if he didn't want it.
"Alright, since Officer Hu has spoken. I won't dwell on this issue. Lieutenant Chen Ming, please do as you please in the future.”Liu Hao knew what he should say and continued to ask,""However, I would like to ask Lieutenant Chen Ming to explain why Lieutenant Liang Shiqin did not come. After all, I am the highest commander here and have the right to know what my subordinates are doing.”
Chen Ming hated this kind of method of using official positions to pressure people the most. He didn't want to say anything more and said perfunctorily,"I'm sorry, Liang Shiqin's stomach isn't feeling well today, so she can't come out.”
"Oh, if I remember correctly, Miss Liang should be a ship princess. With the body of a ship princess, it's not so easy to fall sick.”Liu Hao continued to ask, obviously prepared to hold onto this question.
Chen Ming slammed his hand on the table and said in a somewhat angry and mocking tone,"What's wrong with you? Do you want me to tell you that today is her period before you're satisfied? Do you really care when a girl's period comes? Seriously, everyone should understand that girls had special circumstances.”
Liu Hao felt awkward. He didn't expect Chen Ming to say that. If he was still going to continue to pester him on this issue, then there was something wrong with him. Moreover, there were female comrades present, and one of them was on his side.
Seeing that Liu Hao had lost the home-court advantage and Chen Ming had helped him win the right to speak, Hu Liang felt that he was a promising child. After revealing a meaningful smile to Chen Ming, he coughed twice and said,"Since Captain Liang is unable to attend the meeting due to health reasons, then let's understand each other. I'll be presiding over the meeting.”
Liu Hao, who had already lost his home ground advantage, obviously wouldn't make a fuss at this time. He had already lost this time. If he wanted to complete the task given by his father, he could only find a breakthrough in the next meeting.
On the eastern island not far away, Liang Shiqin was reading a novel under her blanket. Suddenly, she felt a chill on her back, giving her a bad feeling.
"Is someone talking bad about me?" Liang Shiqin thought.
The meeting continued. Hu Liang had already announced the goal and action plan for this battle. Liu Hao finally understood why his father wanted him to protect the strength of the ship ladies and try to damage the ship ladies who came to support. Both sides were also competing for every inch of land in terms of military deployment.
Zhao Jiajia, who was a little bored, turned her head and asked secretly,""Did Sister Liang really do that?”
Chen Ming took a sip of sake and said,""What do you think?"
" I remember Sister Liang's date isn't the first few days of the month," Zhao Jiajia said with a headache." How could it be today? Is it because her period is irregular?"”
"Yes." "Don't mind these details, okay?" Chen Ming said speechlessly.”
"Where are the details?" "If Sister Liang is really not feeling well, I'll go see her later." Zhao Jiajia was still unwilling to give up.”
"Cough ~" Chen Ming whispered awkwardly,""I just lied for the sake of formality. Otherwise, Liang Shiqin would have been punished.”
"Oh." Zhao Jiajia finally understood." I knew it. How could it be today?" As long as Sister Liang is fine."
Chen Ming's heart was filled with speechlessness towards Zhao Jiajia. How did such a simple-minded woman manage to become a captain commander without any backing? He really did not know how she did it.
However, such a person was also good. He was not scheming. Chen Ming did not need to think about how to deal with him. It was relatively easy.
The quarrel above had entered a white-hot stage, and both sides were also arguing endlessly about the command of the ship.
Hu Liang was already impatient at this time. He directly said forcefully,"As the highest commander of this operation, I have the right to ensure that my orders can be carried out at the first possible time. Therefore, I must be personally responsible for the command of the ship lady.”
Liu Hao was still unwilling to let it go." According to the Regulations of War of the [Unab],[ONI] has the right to use [ONI]'s combat power first.[UMAB] can't interfere.”
At this point, Liu Hao had already carried the banner of [ONI]. Obviously, he had already laid out his cards and was prepared to stay until the end.
" But I'm a lieutenant colonel, and you're a major. We're both commanders of the [Ship Girl]. My rank is higher than yours. According to the relevant regulations of the [Navy Admiral Special Act], low-ranking officers are obliged to obey the arrangements of high-ranking officers.”The best way to deal with dogmaticism was dogmaticism. Hu Liang did not care about his senior's face and also brought out the legal provisions.
At this point, Liu Hao couldn't hold his breath anymore. He said,""Liu Ying is my sister, and these ship maids are the people my father sent over. If you want to command, then do so."
The scene was instantly silent.
In the end, he was still young and impetuous. Liu Hao regretted saying this. This was already very obvious that he was prepared to go against him.
Liu Ying slammed the table and stood up, saying,"Major Liu Hao, this is a tactical discussion meeting, not at home.”
Chen Ming ate a piece of sashimi. He was impressed by this woman's ability to adapt on the spot. Her words seemed to be shirking the blame and throwing away their relationship, but in fact, she was giving Liu Hao a way out so that he wouldn't be so embarrassed.
Hu Liang obviously did not expect this outcome. He knew that [ONI] had sent these ship ladies over, but he didn't expect them to be the generals of the Liu family, and the commander was Liu Hao's sister.
This was not easy to deal with. Even if he obtained the command, if he really asked them to die, they might really disobey. After all, they had already said so. Even if they disobeyed, it was better than losing their lives later.
"In that case, Major Liu Hao will be responsible for leading your [Ship Maidens] and the ship ladies to attack and attract the firepower. The other commanders and I will be responsible for ambushing the dock.”
When he heard that he was going to give the command of the ship ladies to him, and that the mission was only to attract firepower, this was too suitable for the ship ladies who had a small target. At that time, if he really couldn't hold on any longer, he could just retreat.
As for the life and death of the others, he did not care. Even if the mission failed, he would only prepare a report to the higher-ups that the mission failed due to the failure of the assault team. In the end, his father would naturally take the blame for him, and he would still be free and happy.
Seeing that there was a way out and that it would be a huge problem, Liu Hao decisively accepted the mission.
On the other side, Hu Liang was also secretly happy. They had taken the initiative to act as meat shields to block damage, so they would more or less leave some people behind. As long as he used the aircraft carrier as cover, then let the destroyer go up and kill the dock with torpedoes. The rest of the task of cleaning up the battlefield would be handed over to the ship lady, and he could go back to report on his work.
In order to prepare for a sneak attack on the dock with a destroyer, he had brought his most powerful destroyer, the Dawn Thunderbolt, along with Chen Ming's Lafite and javelin. At most, two torpedoes would be enough to instantly destroy the small dock.
An easy task.
Both sides thought that they were the one who had the advantage, so much so that the discussion about the distribution of profits after the war became much more harmonious. But who knew who would be the final winner after this war?
When Chen Ming finished the sashimi on the table, the meeting had just ended. After discussing the tactical arrangements, personnel command, post-battle distribution, and many other issues, everyone began to officially eat. Delicious dishes were served on the table one after another, relieving everyone's tension before the battle. The atmosphere at the scene was also brought to a climax.
