From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 631 Drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron
After the meeting, when everyone had left, Guterres, who had been struggling fiercely in his heart for a long time, finally found Amber who had not left yet.

Amber didn't seem surprised to see that it was Guterres who came to find her instead of leaving. She just stared at him.

"Boss"

"I know what you want to say, Guterres~"

Amber interrupted Guterres's awkward words and continued:
"Although the final battle deployment has not yet been determined, don't worry. I am not so ruthless as to let you lead the troops to face Marshal Trafalgar directly."

Hearing this, Guterres couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but before he could say anything, he heard Amber continue:

"I know about your past relationship with Marshal Trafalgar, and you won't be able to fight Marshal Trafalgar in the short term, so even if you volunteer, I will refuse. To put it bluntly, I don't trust you in this matter~"

"Boss, thank you."

The expression on Guterres' face changed for a while, but in the end he just said thank you.

"If you attack your former guide and senior without hesitation, I will think there is something wrong with you. It's human nature, there's nothing to worry about~"

Amber shook his head indifferently, because he always knew that Guterres was a sentimental person, but at the same time, after experiencing a series of dramatic changes, he no longer had any attachment to the Federation that hurt him so deeply.

The old navy man knew that he should also show his loyalty to Atlas, who saved him and his family in a critical moment and freed him from worries.

It's not only for this kindness, but more importantly, it's also for my family to live a carefree life.

This is why Amber has been committed to allowing group employees to bring their families to the Atlas Group's control area, not only for their family reunion, but also to provide sufficient benefits to let these employees know that the group will cover them.

More importantly, once work has a relatively close connection with one's family, the issue of "employee loyalty" can be largely resolved in the process.
Because they no longer work for company profits, but for their families.

From this perspective, it is not an exaggeration to call Amber a "family hero".
Guterres naturally fell under the "family offensive", but when facing Marshal Trafalgar, the former Vice Admiral of the Federal Navy was somewhat unprepared.

Amber could fully understand this. After all, his subordinates were people, not machines. It was not possible to increase their loyalty by just doing some work in the background, so he was willing to give these people enough time to change their minds.

only.
Amber: "But for you, this is the last time. I hope that next time, you can fully prove your worth. I still say the same thing."

"Atlas doesn't keep idle people."

Guterres stood up straight, saluted Amber, and answered seriously.

"I'll keep this in mind, Boss"
-
The combat operation against the Federation was quickly decided, and the formulation of the details had nothing to do with other departments. It all fell on Amber and the combat fleet.

Guterres, who had adjusted his mindset after an "ideological struggle", played a big role in this. After all, among all the people present, he knew the Federal Navy best except Amber, especially on some details that Amber didn't know.

As for Randall and Cleves, although they had served in the Federal Navy, they did not have a deep understanding of it due to their military ranks and responsibilities.

When everyone was making a plan, they encountered the first problem: How to engage the Federation Fleet in battle?

Since they were taking the initiative to attack, Amber and the others naturally wanted the battle to take place in a situation and environment that was favorable to Atlas.

But the problem is that the Federal Fleet would not be foolish enough to jump into such a prepared battle scene, especially since this is a fleet commanded by Marshal Trafalgar.

"So we have to find a way to get the federal fleet to come to us." Amber said.

Randall: "But the question is, what can we do to make Trafalgar come to us? His vigilance is higher than any enemy we have faced before."

Hearing Randall's words, Guterres also nodded: "Yes, in the eyes of others, Marshal Trafalgar's fighting style is as swift as a lion, but in fact his cunning and vigilance are beyond everyone's imagination. Moreover, he has rich experience in naval warfare. Even if we are tied together, we don't have as much as he does."

"Really?" Cliffs put his hands behind his head and lay down on the chair. He was good at on-the-spot command and tactical formulation, but he was indeed limited by his experience in strategic planning.

Therefore, Amber's evaluation of it is "an absolutely sharp saber", but the prerequisite is that a master of swordsmanship is needed to control this saber.

Just as the four of them and several other officers participating in the discussion began to scratch their heads, and several "old smokers" including Guterres even couldn't help but start puffing, Amber suddenly spoke.

"If... I mean if, we go and blow up the Federation's proton annihilation bomb assembly center, will they come looking for us?"

In various works, a major characteristic of time travelers is that they can say some shocking words in some critical situations.

Amber is no exception.

When he said this, everyone else was stunned and Guterres even choked on half a puff of cigarette.

"Boss, did I hear you correctly? You said you were going to blow up the proton annihilation bomb assembly factory?"

Cleves asked cautiously:
"Do you know where this place is?"

"If... I mean if. Don't worry about whether I know or not. I'm just discussing this possibility." Amber waved her hand to focus everyone's attention. "Or let's change the place. If we blow up the largest shipyard of the Federation Navy, will Marshal Trafalgar be so angry that he will come to trouble us?"

"From what I know about the Marshal, he will do so."

It was Guterres who spoke this time, but his tone was also a little strange. It was obvious that he was also shocked by what Amber had just said, and he had a lot of questions in his mind, but he was too embarrassed to ask because of the current atmosphere.

However, it is obvious that some people present did not have such concerns.

For example, Randall, the suave former lieutenant colonel of the Federation Navy, looked as if he had heard some earth-shattering secret and asked:

"Boss, do you really know the location of the proton annihilation bomb assembly factory? You are worthy of being a former psychic agent. You know this~"
