God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

Based on past hatred, Zhou Yu was willing to believe that Meng Kangbu was willing to help and command the battle, given the treatment he received from the Han Empire. However, it was hard to believe that he would fight desperately for the Han Empire.

Entrusting such an important and dangerous war to an outsider raises a very difficult issue of trust.

This is not only about the trust between their superiors, but also about the trust between the soldiers.

Faced with this situation, will the soldiers still be able to maintain their previous combat readiness and order of battle?
The navy is different from the army. On a naval ship, the people are truly the same group of people. If the ship is lost, everyone is doomed.

The naval fleet is much the same, especially under the adaptive cycle system. If the adaptive cycle system fails due to poor coordination, then everyone will basically be doomed.

The difference between adaptive loops and those without adaptive loops is something everyone knows these days.

Some people may not know this, but he is definitely not a naval soldier.

Therefore, for the vast majority of naval soldiers, being able to follow a commander who has an adaptive cycle system would definitely give them a lot of peace of mind.

However, there are very few people in the navy who possess this ability.

"Therefore, to execute this plan, we need at least two generals who can effectively utilize their own cyclical systems," Zhou Yu said, looking at Sun Ce's serious face, explaining the current difficulties and predicament.

Faced with the difficulties his brother mentioned, Sun Ce scratched his head, thought about the situation between the navies, and then gently shook his head.

Currently, among the Han Empire's navy, besides Zhou Yu and Meng Kangbu, only his brother Gan Ning knows the adaptive circulation system.

However, compared to Zhou Yu and Meng Kangbu's proficiency, Gan Ning's so-called skill is most likely just establishing an adaptive loop system and executing some crude operational methods.

Even so, Gan Ning was able to maintain his position as the commander of the Northern Navy by relying on this ability and his own seniority.

From this perspective, the scarcity of this ability and the requirement for talent filtered out a large number of personnel and generals.

"General Gan is indeed a good general, and he is both highly skilled and daring. If he were facing an ordinary opponent, I wouldn't be worried at all. But the opponent is this old fellow Cecislian. The slightest carelessness or flaw will lead to defeat." Zhou Yu spoke sincerely about his teammate, while also describing the facts.

If you can do it, you can do it; if you can't, you can't. On the battlefield, you either do it or you can't. Having enough self-awareness is the best way to be responsible to your teammates.

Taking on everything without principles will only harm yourself and everyone else.

"Is there no other choice?" Sun Ce blurted out, only realizing after saying it that it seemed no one else on their side could do it.

The once mighty and valiant Han Empire could one day find itself in a situation where it had no one left to command, a testament to the unpredictability of life.

"At least for now, it's highly likely that it doesn't exist..." Zhou Yu went through it in his mind, then nodded slightly.

Is there really no one left?

Of course not. But there are people who can provide help in a short time and assist in command.

Moreover, to some extent, the opponent's naval advantages may be even greater than his.

However, unless there was absolutely no other way, Zhou Yu would never do something so foolish as to ask the other party to assist in command. Some things only give you a say if you take them yourself; if someone else takes them, the say is completely different.

Even if the final results seem similar, their underlying meaning and core essence can be vastly different.

Liu Tong, seated high on the throne, possesses a spiritual talent that, combined with the ship spirits built into each of the giant steel warships, enables not only efficient and orderly real-time command but also an astonishing synchronization rate.

In addition, Liu Tong is a fairly good battlefield commander, so holding off Cecilian and the like shouldn't be a big problem.

But is it really possible to do something like that?

Unless there is no other choice, it is better to find another way.

It's not just for the benefit of power, but also for the benefit of the country.

The effects of an emperor personally leading an expedition, whether positive or negative, are enormous.

In particular, Cecislian's condition and circumstances made Zhou Yu somewhat wary.

These men stride like elderly strongmen; only a fool would believe they don't have a few killer moves at their disposal.

If something unexpected happens on the battlefield, who will be responsible? Who can bear that responsibility?
"In other words, we can only place our hopes on Meng Kangbu now, hoping that he will risk his life and fight with all his might." Even the relatively optimistic Sun Ce couldn't help but frown when he said this.

“Of course, we can switch places. I can hold off Cecissian’s attack while Moncomb leads another fleet to provide support.” Zhou Yu then suggested a second possibility, a clearly worse one.

This involves not only political issues, but also a large amount of intelligence gaps related to the military, personnel relations, generals, and so on.

The most important point is to fight Cecislian.

Moncomb's understanding of Cecissarian's command habits is more advantageous in countering Cecissarian, thus allowing him to gain more time.

During this period of getting to know him, Zhou Yu had to admit that Meng Kangbu, under immense pressure, displayed abilities and resilience far exceeding those of ordinary generals.

Even Zhou Yu, who believed he could remain calm even in dire situations, had to acknowledge Meng Kangbu's abilities in this regard.

One is superior in terms of stress resistance, but most naval commanders simply cannot get Moncombe into that state of pressure.

Even Zhou Yu, with a fleet of equal size, could not achieve this against Meng Kangbu.

It can be said that at this time, Cecilielian's naval command capabilities were definitely superior to Zhou Yu's.

The only areas where Zhou Yu was superior to Cecilie were age and land warfare.

As support forces, there are naturally also land-based troops.

Coordinating the forces of both the navy and the army simultaneously places extremely high demands on the commander-in-chief.

Zhou Yu was able to do this and unleash considerable power, but that didn't mean Meng Kangbu could, especially without his own elite troops; the difference was significant. (End of Chapter)
