Chapter 545 Guterres's Suggestions
"Boss has set off with the Dawn and the remaining combat ships. According to the sailing plan, it will take another 6 days and 13 hours to arrive, but the two unmanned fleets that set out in advance will arrive and join you in 3 days."
In the ultra-long-range quantum entanglement communication room of the Infinity, Guterres on the screen in front of Randall was informing him of the situation of the reinforcements.
Randall, who had finally contacted the A. Bawa Ku Fortress after the battle, was still a little worried after hearing the time when the reinforcements would arrive.
"There are still three days left. We can only hope that the commander of the federal fleet is a little less timid and hesitates a little longer. Otherwise, if two full fleets come to kill us, I really can't hold on, teacher."
"The unmanned fleet set out not long after Davis died on Rubion V, so this is the fastest time they can arrive. If they want to arrive faster, we must be able to predict the future."
Guterres looked at his former student and said:
"You don't have to be too self-deprecating, Randall, you have done a good job. The raid on the garrison fleet not only weakened the enemies they need to face later, but also may make the federal fleet cautious, delaying or even giving up their plan to jump in."
However, Guterres's comfort can only have a limited effect after all, and Randall's expression is still very tense.
"But all this is unknown. Teacher, to be honest, I am really nervous now, because the fate of the entire fleet is in my hands. If the next batch of transport fleets is not expected to arrive tomorrow, I would like to take the fleet away from this dangerous galaxy first."
"."
"Teacher? Why don't you speak, teacher?"
Guterres' sudden silence made Randall feel a little uneasy. A distant but familiar fear slowly rose from the bottom of his heart.
Just when Randall was about to say something, he heard Guterres say in a very serious tone:
"Randall, although I am no longer your teacher, and my current status as a 'senior consultant' of the combat fleet is lower than that of you, the commander of the combat fleet. It is not reasonable for me to speak to you in such a preaching tone."
"No, teacher, you don't have to be so humble. With your experience and qualifications, you can teach me a lesson."
Randall's voice was rarely a little panic. When facing a senior like Guterres, who was also a former teacher, it was difficult for him to smile as usual.
"It's not a 'lesson', but since that's the case, I'll take advantage of my seniority to nag you."
"Teacher, you say."
"Randall, you have to remember that no matter what camp you are in or who you serve under, you are first and foremost a navy, and the navy of our time is born to conquer the stars and the sea, so if you want to be an excellent fleet commander, you must have fearless courage and not retreat or look back just because you are in trouble.
This point has actually been reflected in your previous decisions and battles. You do have such potential, but it is not enough.
I know you want to be responsible for your soldiers and want to take them home alive. In this case, you should have a heart that is not afraid of strong enemies, because victory is never a way It is not obtained by escaping or praying, but by fighting for it. "
Guterres paused, looked at Randall's eyes carefully through the screen, and then continued:
"I can see that Mr. Amber trusts you very much. The friendship between you must be deeper than I thought, otherwise Mr. Amber would not give you such an important task. So whether from the perspective of a friend or a comrade, you should not disappoint his expectations.
And in my opinion, Mr. Amber is an ambitious and ambitious person. Under the current situation, the battles and difficulties that Atlas will experience in the future will only increase. Randall, what you are experiencing now is likely to be the easiest level."
Guterres did not continue to speak, but Randall had heard the meaning of his words.
If he can't even get through the current "level", how can he continue to deal with more difficult difficulties in the future?
"I understand, teacher, thank you for your guidance. "
Randall said sincerely, and at the same time realized that he had been comfortable for too long after getting on Amber's "pirate ship".
In the "start-up group" that escaped from Robert IV at that time, everyone else has now become an independent figure.
Let's not talk about Isabel, she is the current "intelligence chief" of the Atlas Group, and has a close relationship with the Empire, and can act as a matchmaker for Amber.
Baninger and the group of marines, who are still alive, are all highly respected instructors in the "Tower of Babel" combat training center.
Those who died are even more awesome.
They were directly upgraded to new life forms and became the most elite "Immortal Legion" in the combat force.
Murat and Louis, the two rookie HCP pilots at the time, have now become the "chief coaches" of the Atlas HCP force.
Even Tom has now become the first captain of the special mission ship.
Randall thought about it and it seemed that he was the only one who was still standing still, and this was obviously not appropriate.
What's more, Atlas is still attracting new talents to join. Now even his teacher, former Vice Admiral Guterres of the Federal Navy, has become the "senior consultant" of the Atlas combat fleet.
If he still maintains his current state, he will eventually fail to keep up with Amber's pace, and this is obviously what Randall does not want to see, because he actually longs to see the day when Atlas "reaches the top".
At the same time, he also hopes that by that time, he will stand by Amber's side as a "right-hand man".
Guterres on the other side of the screen obviously saw something through Randall's series of expression changes, and finally smiled.
"It seems that you have figured out some things. Then I will give you some tactical suggestions based on the current situation of the Third Combined Fleet~"
Hearing this, Randall's eyes lit up again. For him, a commander who lacks fleet combat experience, Guterres' tactical suggestions are definitely of reference value.
Although it seems that the former Vice Admiral of the Federal Navy has been frustrated, if you think about it carefully, the reason for his "frustration" may be more because of bad luck.
The two major failures he experienced were both when he led his conventional fleet into a new force that was far superior to his own in terms of armament and technology.
The first time, he was shot by the artificial celestial fortress that made its first appearance in actual combat with the "Focusing Rainbow".
The second time, he encountered the "Infinity" that was also put into actual combat for the first time. He was shot by the purification beam blessed by the elf technology, and was hit by the plasma torpedoes that attacked from the six o'clock direction of the fleet after circling the planet. In the end, he witnessed the betrayal of the unmanned fleet with his own eyes.
It can be said that he is a "touchstone of the battlefield for new equipment".
Moreover, after encountering two major changes, this vice admiral has survived to this day and finally joined the Atlas Group. From another perspective, his luck is actually not bad~
