In the next few days, Zhu Shijian personally served as the chief referee and organized the first stage of war chess deduction code-named "Towards Victory" at the Decision Command Center of the Navy Command.

Although Bai Zhizhan did not participate, he watched the whole process as a substitute staff officer.

To be precise, the local fleet is the young and strong, and the commander-in-chief is Gui Boyong, while his opponent is Liu Xiangbin, the second ancestor of the Liu family.

According to regulations, there are five rounds of deductions, and a five-fight and three-win system is adopted.

Because it is a deduction at the battle level, each round takes one day.

On the third night, that is, after the third round of deductions, the winner was decided, and there is no need to conduct the next two rounds of deductions.

The previous three rounds of deductions were carried out according to the existing tactics, and it was predicted that war broke out with the Western powers in five years, ten years and fifteen years later. Both sides of the war entered the state of war early, and they put in heavy troops during the war, striving to achieve a quick victory after the war began.

The result is no suspense.

In the first two rounds of deductions, the Imperial Navy did not break out of Xuhai. Once, he was hit hard when he marched into the east ocean, and the other was defeated on the way to Fanyan Ocean. Although in the third round of deductions, the Imperial Navy used the tactic of waiting for work to severely damage the invading enemy fleet at his doorstep, it was still judged to be defeated in the end, because during this period, the great powers completed the war mobilization.

Simply put, the Imperial Navy achieved victory at the tactical and combat levels, but completely failed strategically and missed a great opportunity to make breakthroughs. As long as the great powers complete the war mobilization, then in the traditional way, the Imperial Navy will not be able to win the decisive battle in any case.

In fact, this is the key to repeatedly emphasizing "fast victory".

But the problem is that relying on a fleet with battleships such as battleships as the core, it is impossible to achieve a comprehensive victory in a limited time.

However, becoming a stable party is not giving up.

In the last two rounds of deduction, Zhu Shijian agreed to Liu Changhe's special request and modified the deduction rules, allowing the Imperial Navy to adopt an active offensive strategy, that is, it can adopt raids or even sneak attack tactics to ensure that the initiative is seized after the war begins.

In addition, Liu Changhe personally took action.

For the sake of equality, He Yongxing replaced Gui Boyong.

The next two rounds of deductions are definitely exciting, and can be said to be the highest level of paper talk today.

Wargame deduction is essentially a paper talk.

First, Liu Changhe took the initiative after the war started, and maintained the initiative until the end, and finally achieved a tragic victory with huge casualties and losses. In the last round of deductions, He Yongxing learned his lessons and gave all the squadrons a full opportunity to perform through full pre-war preparations and more thorough authorization. Not only did he successfully crush the opponent's sneak attack, but he also curbed the counterattack momentum. In the end, the joint fleet commanded by He Yongxing achieved a strategic victory at an extremely weak price.

Zhu Shijian determined that the two had a draw, but this judgment was actually to give Liu Changhe a face.

The key is that in the deduction of Liu Changhe's "winning", the Imperial Navy still did not open up the situation, and the performance at the strategic level remained unchanged.

In Zhu Shijian's words, what is the meaning of a tragic victory?

Since the Battle of Nanjiangkou, when did the Imperial Navy need to exchange for victory at a terrible price?

Killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred by themselves has never been a dish of the Imperial Navy. In the theory of the Imperial Navy, there has never been a school of miserable victory.

During these five days, Bai Zhizhan's friends also came to the imperial capital one after another.

The last one to arrive must be the one with the greatest face.

That's right, it's Zhao Yu, who just won the nickname "Monday Cristo".

He was a hereditary Count, and a popular Western novel before the war was called Monte Cristo, so He Pengfei gave him this nickname.

In fact, he was only a few hours late, and the train was late.

In order to show respect, Bai Zhizhan went to the station in person.

Because he received the transfer order from the Navy Command and the arrangement of Liu Xiangdong, the military train that Zhao Yu also enjoyed the treatment of a hereditary count.

The war has not officially ended, the empire is still in wartime, and soldiers still have privileges.

At night, only military vehicles entered the station.

"Mr. Zhao!"

In terms of title, it really gave Bai Zhizhan a headache.

"Sir" definitely doesn't work. "Your Excellency" is ironic, and "Earl" becomes even more explicit. "Great Engineer" is prone to misunderstandings when following Zhao's surname.

Call him by his name?

Obviously, Bai Zhizhan and Zhao Yu have not yet been intimate enough to that extent!

"Just call me Lao Zhao." Perhaps because of the cold weather, Zhao Yu seemed very normal. Compared to the last time he met, he was completely different.

"Get in the car, it's cold outside." He Pengfei greeted.

Because he had known each other for a long time, he was very casual in front of Zhao Yu and did not have so many concerns. However, this is also related to his identity.

"I was the last one?"

He Pengfei had already gone over and opened the car door. The heater in the car was turned on, making the car much more comfortable.

After getting on the bus, Zhao Yu continued, "I heard that you have done several deductions these days. The guys from the Southern Fleet lost a lot, and the Liu family's old face was almost out of control."

Bai Zhizhan was speechless. This guy was only in his thirties, but he spoke so old.

"I deserve it. After Marshal Chen Bingxun, the Liu family controlled the naval command coefficient for decades and almost defeated the family."

After Zhao Yu said this, Bai Zhizhan felt a little relieved.

Obviously, Zhao Yu also disliked the Liu family.

"That's how you know?" He Pengfei changed the subject.

"You think you are the only ones who think of me?"

"Have people from the Liu family looked for you?" Bai Zhizhan obviously did not keep up with Zhao Yu's idea.

"To be honest, I originally thought you were a smart person, but now it seems that's not the case." Zhao Yu looked at Bai Zhizhan carefully before saying, "I'm not saying that I'm entrusted to someone, but you don't think about it. What's more important than the core interests of the family?"

Now, Bai Zhizhan figured it out.

Zhao Yu was talking about Liu Xiangdong, and it is very likely that Liu Xiangdong leaked the news, and the Liu family's talents found Zhao Yu.

Even though the Liu family had never thought of trying to win over Zhao Yu, he was a hereditary count and was definitely not so easy to win over. The Liu family would definitely want to find out the news through him.

"Old Zhao, you didn't say anything nonsense, are you?"

"I am a man with a big mouth and say whatever I have. I never know how to lie."

He Pengfei rolled his eyes and pursed his lips at Bai Zhizhan, saying that Zhao Yu is such a person, don't take it to heart.

Did he tell the truth or deliberately speak the wrong words?

Bai Zhizhan was also unsure, but he felt that there was nothing to worry about, because Zhao Yu was famous for being crazy, and the people of the Liu family were also unsure about what he said.

Of course, you must not relax and careless.

The Liu family sent someone to find Zhao Yu, saying that they had begun to pay attention to Bai Zhizhan and would do their best to win the next second stage of deduction.
Chapter completed!
