Chapter 633 Cautious Trafalgar
President Brandon and Defense Secretary Miller were actually a little surprised when they heard Marshal Trafalgar's question.
After all, the division of labor has actually been completed after the three people completely took control of the Federation. President Brandon is responsible for internal affairs, Defense Secretary Miller is responsible for military and political coordination and military construction, and Marshal Trafalgar has overall control of operations and military power, usually in fleet operations. Marshal Trafalgar would not ask the two of them about the issue, but would directly make the decision himself.
Obviously, compared with the "one word" culture within the Atlas Group, Marshal Trafalgar's "one word" policy in the military in the federal "iron triangle" is more thorough.
So when Marshal Trafalgar asked the two for advice, their first reaction was, 'Is this old man finally confused? ’ Such a strange idea
However, looking at the serious expression on the Admiral's face, Brandon and Miller quickly realized that Trafalgar was really looking for them to discuss, and the former quickly answered:
"If the intelligence is true and it can be determined that the Atlas Group and the Renaissance Alliance are indeed going to join forces to attack us, then we should also assemble the fleet and be ready, right?"
Secretary of Defense Miller asked after thinking for a moment:
"Since this information is an official document jointly submitted by the Central Intelligence Department and the Naval Intelligence Office, it means that the authenticity and reliability of the information should not be a big problem. According to common sense, you can make your own response decision. But Now that you are asking for our opinion, it means that you have other ideas, Trafalgar?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Upon hearing this, Marshal Trafalgar suddenly laughed: "As expected, Miller, you understand me."
With that said, Marshal Trafalgar activated the holographic projection device on the desk in front of him and summoned the currently updated situational star map. He saw 10 representative standards on a certain edge of the federal actual control area. The red arrows of the fleet are watching eagerly.
If it were another naval commander, he might have already ordered the fleet to assemble at this time and prepare to fight the invading enemy.
But the person sitting in this position is Marshal Trafalgar, a man who is radical and bold in battle and will do whatever it takes to achieve tactical goals. However, he is extremely cautious in the pre-war planning stage and will never let go of any doubts.
Since the rise of Atlas Group, the Navy Marshal has been collecting information about this giant company through the Naval Intelligence Agency, especially information about Amber, his life history, combat experience, fighting style, and personality.
The information from the Federal Army Personnel Office was directly ignored by him, because in Marshal Trafalgar's opinion, Amber was most likely in a state of 'disguise' when he was a federal psychic agent. Therefore, the experience of being captured by the Federation and transformed into a double agent is not credible.
So he started to analyze more from Amber's experience of breaking away from the Federation and establishing the Atlas Group. From a certain perspective, this can be regarded as an accident.
"According to my analysis of Mr. Amber, the sudden launch of a large-scale attack is not in line with his usual decision-making habits, because this is a commander who is good at making 'unexpected moves' to achieve 'win with less'," He is also very cautious and likes to 'make a fortune silently', so under the current circumstances, it is unlikely that he will suddenly make such a move to seek a decisive battle with us."
Listening to Marshal Trafalgar's analysis, Miller and Brandon slowly noticed something was wrong. During this period, the Federation was paying very high attention to Atlas Group and Amber, and they had seen it more than once. Regarding Amber’s character analysis report, I also feel that the current decision-making does not seem to be in line with Amber’s usual style.
"Marshal Trafalgar, what you said makes sense, but I think one thing we must also take into account is that there are indeed ten fleets staying at the edge of our control area at any time, and they can carry out attacks on our control area at any time. One step at a time, this is an indisputable fact, right?”
After being silent for a while, President Brandon suddenly said:
"But what if I mean, what if the other party really plans to launch an attack? Even thinking about it from a more 'predict the enemy's leniency' approach, the other party just wants to take advantage of our current cautious mentality and make us think that they are bluffing. What to do if a serious strategic misjudgment occurs?
This is a total of ten fleets, and the combat power of the Atlas Group's combat fleet is not comparable to that of the rebel forces. Even the Renaissance Alliance's fleet was trained by Atlas according to intelligence, wasn't it? "
"For once, I agree with the President."
Defense Secretary Miller also spoke, and it was rare that he agreed with Brandon's military views, which also caused the latter to turn his head and pay attention.
"Judging from the combat effectiveness displayed by the Atlas fleet, these ten fleets can indeed pose a fatal threat to us. If, as the President said, this is a strategic deception planned through reverse thinking, and we are really If we don’t do anything as Atlas Group hopes, big problems may arise.”
After hearing their opinions on the deployment of the Atlas fleet, Marshal Trafalgar showed a smile on his face and said half-jokingly: "It seems that you two are going to wear the same pants this time? "
Miller: "We are just considering it from a relatively conservative perspective. After all, there is already a radical guy like you. If the two of us follow the radical path, not even one of the three of us will be sober~"
"No problem, your point of view is also reasonable and there is no problem." Marshal Trafalgar nodded, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes, "But I need to observe one thing before I can make a decision."
Brandon: "What is it?"
Marshal Trafalgar: "You will know when the time comes~"
A few days later, the long-distance reconnaissance ship that had been lurking in the front-line space finally sent back the latest reconnaissance intelligence.
In this intelligence, in the column about the general composition of the Atlas combat fleet, the two purple high-risk units of "unknown super flagships" were placed in the most conspicuous place.
This also means that the Atlas Group has basically placed all the main forces of the current combat fleet on the front line, as if it is going to "determine the outcome in one battle".

And this latest front-line reconnaissance intelligence, including the reconnaissance team of the fleet at the edge of the control area, has also repeatedly contacted the reconnaissance team sent by the Renaissance Alliance, and was quickly delivered to the desks of the three people.
Then, after another closed-door meeting, Marshal Trafalgar finally issued the combat order of "Sea King Fort No. 1" to the Federal Navy.
In the "Operation Code Comparison Table" of the Federal Navy for that year, "Sea King Fort No. 1" represented the order of "all combat ships of the Navy go into battle".
