This filled the members of the Lightning Force, who were known for their pride, with resentment.

Seeing the low morale of the crowd, Geng Yanming sighed and stepped forward.

"Everyone, there's no need to be sad. It's good that the mission is accomplished."

"You are the pride of the Lightning Force, but you are also ordinary soldiers."

"I am no more special than anyone else."

"Whether a mission succeeds or fails, it's a common occurrence."

"Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war; everyone should take it in stride."

"I think it's a good thing that this battle wasn't completely successful."

"At least it can curb your arrogance."

"Our Lightning Force has received so many honors that it has even become a role model for special forces throughout the entire army."

"This gives people the illusion that every mission, no matter how difficult, must be completed to uphold the reputation of the Lightning Force."

"But if you hold this mindset, it means that arrogance has already taken root in you."

"Hopefully, this mission will prompt everyone to reflect on their actions."

After hearing the head instructor's words, everyone fell silent.

They no longer harbored their previous dissatisfaction and resentment.

Yes, they finally completed the task.

The reason why everyone felt dissatisfied was simply because it wasn't done perfectly.

But is there anything in this world that can be perfect in every way?
It's already quite an achievement that they were able to complete the mission.

One should not be overly ambitious, but rather down-to-earth.

Soon, everyone returned to report.

At this moment, with the main fleet being ambushed and suffering heavy losses, the enemy's offensive finally ceased.

They rushed back to defend the main fleet to prevent further damage.

The Dragon Kingdom ultimately withstood this first round of powerful attacks.

"What? They really destroyed the enemy's main fleet?"

"Haha, well done! The Lightning Force truly lives up to its name!"

Upon hearing this news, Elder Nie was overjoyed.

The US fleet has a full eight escort ships protecting it.

Following conventional thinking, getting close to that place wouldn't be easy.

Not to mention the ability to launch a surprise attack and directly board the fleet.

They not only killed a large number of enemies, but also destroyed all their defensive and offensive equipment.

Even important equipment such as traffic control systems were destroyed.

All missions issued by the United States originate from the Commander-in-Chief and the Fleet Command.

Now that this place has been destroyed, they must restore the transportation infrastructure if they want to launch a second offensive.

This will take quite a bit of time.

The situation has finally stabilized.

"Commander, we failed to kill the enemy's supreme commander."

"Their defenses were far too tight, but that was also a weakness of our Lightning Force."

Geng Yanming sighed and said helplessly.

"Hehe, you don't need to blame yourselves so much."

"The core objective of this mission is to destroy the enemy's main fleet."...

"Even if we succeed in eliminating their commander-in-chief, someone else will soon take his place."

"In contrast, only the complete destruction of their fleet would be a real victory."

“You have done a fantastic job.”

"Other special forces units don't have your record, so you should be celebrating this time."

Upon hearing this, the members of the Lightning Force finally smiled.

The dissatisfaction and regret in my heart have also been balanced a lot.

Yes, although the mission wasn't completed perfectly.

However, their military region has many special forces units with comparable strength.

They didn't even have the chance to participate in the battle.

For that alone, they should be content.

"This operation will buy us some more time."

"Jiang Chen, how long do you estimate it will take for our UFO unit to be ready?"

"I need a specific time."

Old Master Nie looked at Jiang Chen intently, his expression very serious.

In a battle of this scale, no one would joke about something like this.

"It will only take seven days."

"I can give you a fully equipped and highly capable UFO force."

Jiang Chen answered firmly.

During this period, all their preliminary preparations and plans have been completed.

It has now entered the later stages of research and development and UFO testing.

Upon hearing this, Elder Nie nodded.

I felt a sense of relief, but then I started to worry again.

Seven days is not a long time for a large-scale battle.

The question is whether their coastal military districts can withstand the enemy's subsequent attacks within these seven days.

The losses today are already substantial.

A total of five ships were destroyed.

This is a huge loss.

That is why we successfully defended against the enemy's attack today.

But the pressure on Geng Yanming is by no means small.

Commanders from other military regions have come to question him.

Why bother reworking all the planes and fighter jets? Even keeping some would be better.

Many commanders criticized Geng Yanming for making a rash decision.

This decision has made coastal areas extremely dangerous.

This gave the United States the opportunity to launch an attack.

The good news is that they have seven more days to get through this dangerous period.

This can be considered a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Mr. Nie believed that the UFO unit would be the key force capable of changing the course of the war.

At that time, no matter how many enemies there are or how large their numbers are.

They will all be destroyed in an instant, like autumn leaves swept away by the wind.

"During this period, we still need everyone to work hard to continue to hold the line."

"We must get through this difficult time."

"Lightning Force, you must also be on standby at any time, there may be more operations later."

"I've already transferred the other units over, in short."

"Everyone must hold on."

Hearing this, everyone nodded firmly.

Geng Yanming said with great pride:

"Don't worry, sir. Just give us any dangerous missions you may have."

"Our Lightning Force is not just a bolt of lightning, but a sharp arrow that can pierce the heart of the enemy."

Just as everyone was discussing how to defend next...

Jiang Chen stepped forward.

"Commander, actually, our difficult phase has long been over."

Jiang Chen said calmly, looking confident.

This expression left everyone quite puzzled.

"Jiang Chen, what do you mean by that?"

Jiang Chen took out a virtual map and displayed it to everyone.

"As you can see, this is the current situation along the coast."

"The enemy's naval forces were divided into three army groups, with three main directions of attack."

"But their overall commander is in the leftmost army group."

"Their main fleet is now damaged." "Therefore, it is clear that all three of their army groups have begun to consolidate their defenses."

"They have withdrawn from our coastal areas."

"After their main fleet was damaged, they could only stay in place and could not move, which made them easy targets for us."

Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly taken aback, and then suddenly realized what was going on.

Today's offensive has put them under immense pressure.

So they only thought about how to defend, and never thought about turning the tide and winning.

They placed all their hopes on the UFO unit.

However, they overlooked their existing strength.

But in reality, their artillery regiments and the surrounding local armed forces, etc.

They are a considerable force, if mobilized properly.

It is not necessarily impossible to fight the enemy.

Jiang Chen's words were truly enlightening for everyone.

Why didn't they think of that?
Now the enemy's main fleet has been damaged, its defenses have contracted, and it is surrounding that core area.

Isn't this their sitting duck?
"Therefore, I believe that the next week will be the time for our all-out offensive."

"It's not a question of whether we can withstand the American offensive."

Old Master Nie nodded, approving of Jiang Chen's strategy.

"Yes, that's a very good idea."

"Jiang Chen, sometimes I really want to open your head and see what your brain is made of."

"I originally thought you were just a scientist, but I didn't expect you to have such unique insights into military matters."

Old Master Nie was filled with emotion. ...

Now, it's finally the era of the young.

These older generations, no matter how senior they are, are ultimately getting old.

They no longer have the passion and drive of youth.

In fact, Mr. Nie could have come up with such a strategy, but he had too many concerns.

In order to consider the overall situation, this point was overlooked.

……

Meanwhile, the situation in the United States was not so optimistic.

"That damned Jiang Chen, he dared to ambush me on the very first day of the all-out offensive."

"You just wait and see, I'll make you pay the price sooner or later."

"Trying to slow down our attack? That's wishful thinking."

On the newly appointed commander-in-chief, Arms snorted coldly, his face full of disdain.

The enemy is being incredibly naive to think that by disrupting their main fleet, they can slow down their offensive.

Any one of their frigates could become the new main fleet.

It just requires some readjustment of the deployment.

"You've already learned your lesson from today's first attack."

"But this is just the beginning. Tomorrow our attack will be even more intense. Let's see how long you can hold out."

Geng Yanming gave a cold laugh, and when he recalled the dangerous experience of today, he couldn't help but gasp.

The enemy destroyed their main fleet, almost preventing him from escaping.

Fortunately, his subordinates risked their lives to protect him, and he was able to transfer to another escort ship through the escape pod.

Otherwise, he might have died here today.

"Order all main force army groups to launch an offensive."

"Reorganize the equipment immediately and launch another all-out attack tomorrow."

"They must think that after our main fleet was attacked today, I will be unable to give orders, so they will let their guard down."

Arms smiled smugly, a sly glint in his eyes.

The deputy commanders beside him nodded in agreement.

Being ambushed today was indeed unexpected for them.

But it was precisely because of this that their commander-in-chief found a glimmer of opportunity.

Tomorrow's attack will surely break through all of the Dragon Kingdom's defenses and reach their shores in one fell swoop.

……

"I think we should launch a full-scale offensive tonight and commit all our available forces to it."

At this moment, in the conference room, Jiang Chen once again expressed his opinion.

Everyone was slightly taken aback, looked at each other, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Only Elder Nie frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"Isn't this a bit too rushed?"

"The enemy's main fleet has been destroyed, and it will take them at least three days to reorganize."

"In these three days, we should repair the defenses that have been destroyed."

"And we must continue to strengthen the frontline defenses and bring in more personnel."

"Prepare for defense in the first two days, and then decide whether to launch a full-scale attack on the third day."

"This is the safest strategy at present."

Jiang Chen shook his head. Although Elder Nie's method was prudent, it was too conservative.

Americans never play by the rules.

What we can think of, they certainly can too.

The Americans also knew that if they wanted to restore the main fleet, it would take at least three days to bring back a submarine.

This is something everyone knows perfectly well.

Therefore, the other party will definitely have other countermeasures.

"Military operations are like playing chess."

"Not only do you need to have strategies, but most importantly, you also need to know how to adapt to changing circumstances."

"Starting the attack tonight, catching the enemy off guard, is the best option, in my opinion."

"Because this is when their defenses are at their weakest."

"And what our Dragon Kingdom excels at most is nighttime raids."

"As for the so-called defensive fortifications and armed forces, they can be put aside for the time being."

"No matter how strong the defenses are, they will eventually be destroyed by the enemy."

"But if we switch from defense to offense, then it will be the enemy that we need to defend against."

Upon hearing this, the other commanders and Geng Yanming all nodded in agreement.

Jiang Chen's method was indeed brilliant, and it was a surprising move.

They will launch a surprise attack on the enemy tonight; the enemy will definitely not be able to react in time.

At that point, they will lose their composure.

"What you said makes some sense."

"Then give it a try."

"I ordered all special forces to harass from a distance."

"Participate in sniper missions and eliminate all enemies in sight."

"Frontline troops are tightening their defensive lines, and artillery regiments are increasing their fire support."

"At midnight tonight, launch the first general offensive."

Elder Nie gave the final order to the commanders.

Everyone immediately sprang into action and went down to make preparations.

Jiang Chen continued to lead this lightning force to make battle arrangements.

Since Jiang Chen first brought out his super army,
Old Master Nie could only turn a blind eye to Jiang Chen's participation in the war.

Say no more.

To put my mind at ease
Elder Nie even temporarily handed over command of the Lightning Force to Jiang Chen.

It can be said that Jiang Chen is now the de facto commander-in-chief of the Lightning Force.

The members of the Lightning Force also obeyed Jiang Chen's orders without question.

Jiang Chen's performance in battle, as well as his military acumen, impressed everyone.

"Gentlemen, you have all received the intelligence for tonight's operation. The commander has granted our Lightning Force the authority to operate independently."...

"We are clad in armor, and the responsibility we bear is naturally even greater; this goes without saying. Tonight's first general offensive must be like a sharp sword, piercing straight into the heart of the enemy."

"Therefore, my mission is to destroy at least one enemy naval vessel; this is the most basic requirement."

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock. (End of Chapter)
