Elder brother's garrison

"So Lianlian, how exactly did you defeat Admiral Xiao Yuan?" Xiaobai approached Luo Lian, her eyes fixed on Luo Lian's face with curiosity.

Luo Lian and Xiao Bai exchanged a glance.

"It's nothing, I just used the Admiral's Network."

"Admiral Network?" Xiaobai stopped in his tracks, slightly taken aback. "The Admiral Network you're talking about... is it the Admiral Network I'm thinking of?"

“It’s probably not the kind of admiral network you’re imagining,” Luo Lian replied. “My admiral network is the same as everyone else’s; it doesn’t enhance ship girls. It’s just a simple information dissemination medium.”

"oh oh……"

Xiao Bai listened to Luo Lian's words, nodded first, and then looked at Luo Lian with her eyes shining brightly.

So that's how it is...

"So...so...Lianlian, you were using the Admiral's Network to command the ship girls before?"

"This shouldn't be against the rules, right?"

"It's not against the rules, it's definitely not against the rules!" Xiaobai quickly shook his head and smiled.

Xiao Bai now finally understands why Luo Lian's ship girls were able to defeat Xiao Yuan's ship girls so easily.

Presumably... none of the admirals near the training ground would believe that an admiral would choose to fight using the admiral network command method in a training environment!

It is only natural for admirals to use the admiral network to assist ship girls in battle.

However, in most combat exercise environments, even in high-level exercises such as those ranked in the top 100, top 50, top 20, or even top 10 in the world, there are very few instances where admirals choose to use the admiral network to assist their ship girls.

It's not that the admirals didn't want to do it.

This is because... most admirals, given their abilities, simply cannot do it.

Battles between ship girls are completely different from battles between ship girls and abyssal ships.

When admirals use the admiral network, it's mostly in battles between ship girls and abyssal fleets. Generally, the goal of this type of battle is to minimize the casualties of one's own fleet and defeat the enemy with that as the premise.

Therefore, no matter how intense the battle between ship girls and the Abyssal Fleet is, at least under controllable conditions, the ship girl fleet rarely suffers casualties, injuries, or even heavy damage. When admirals use the admiral network to assist ship girls in fighting the Abyssal Fleet, the instructions they issue are more about overall strategic operations and tactical advancements... In short, the instructions conveyed through the admiral network are not actually implemented in detail for each ship girl's actual operation. The admirals simply give the ship girls one tactical objective after another that is close at hand, and how to achieve these objectives still depends on the ship girls' own performance.

Battles between ship girls are completely different.

Ship girls are more agile than deep-sea ships, and their firepower is also more intense.

The goal of exercises between ship girls is not to minimize the losses of their own team, but to completely annihilate the opposing team.

No matter the cost, even if only one teammate remains alive, as long as the enemy is completely defeated, the remaining team can still win the exercise.

This is why exercises between ship girls are often faster-paced and more intense.

Both teams encouraged a combat style of exchanging injuries for injuries, and pursued the ultimate in instantaneous judgment and reaction during combat.

In this battle, the ship girls are competing with exquisite operations that do not allow for any mistakes, a layered and complex battle strategy, perfect teamwork, and every second of positioning and prediction. In such a rapidly changing and tense situation where it is difficult to even catch your breath, the information and instructions that the admiral's network can convey are of very limited use.

In other words, in ship girl exercises, the importance of operation far outweighs the importance of strategy.

Many ship girl battles commanded by the admiral network often suffer from a lack of technical skill due to following orders, resulting in performance in exercises that are not as good as in free battles.

Over time, even though the Admiral Guild never prohibited the use of the Admiral Network in exercises, the admirals who realized this gradually accepted the habit of not using the Admiral Network in exercise environments and letting the ship girls fight on their own.

This applies to all admirals, from the first chapter to the eighth.

But Luo Lian is often the most unpredictable person. Just because the admirals don't choose to use the admiral network for combat doesn't mean she won't use it.

As long as the instructions issued through the admiral network are timely and clear enough, then theoretically, the instructions issued by the admiral network, which can integrate the vision information of the six ship girls, are far more complete than the instructions issued by the ship girls themselves acting freely.

That's what Luo Lian thought.

And that's what Luo Lian did.

Then Luo Lian won a great victory.

Things unfolded surprisingly simply.

"How does it feel to command ship girls in battle through the admiral network?" Xiaobai asked Luo Lian.

"It's alright," Luo Lian replied. "Because I had prepared beforehand, it was actually easier than I had imagined."

"What preparations?"

“During the period of training the ship girls, every time we finished training and did a debriefing, I would take out the videotapes and discuss them with them,” Luo Lian said. “After doing debriefing for a long time, everyone developed a tacit understanding. So now, as soon as I open my mouth and utter a sound, they know what I want to say based on the situation. Therefore, issuing commands in actual combat is also very concise and much easier.”

"I had no idea about this at all..." Xiaobai said with some emotion, "Lianlian, you've had such a tough month..."

"Admiral Lu Lin, none of this is the hardest part!" Just then, the ship girls behind Luo Lian quickly spoke up. They raised their hands and said like a flock of little nightingales, "Our admiral arranged the tactical plan clearly before the battle even started! That was the hardest part!"

"Tactical plan?" Xiaobai looked at Luo Lian.

Luo Lian thought for a while, then reached into her clothes and pulled out the notebook she had been holding.

Xiaobai remembers this notebook.

During the training at the temporary naval base, Xiaobai saw Luo Lian almost every time she saw her, she was holding this notebook and writing something down. Even just now, before the exercise with Admiral Xiao Yuan, when Luo Lian was making preparations for the ship girls, she was holding this notebook in her hands.

Could this notebook be a tactical plan?

Xiao Bai looked at the notebook curiously.

"Even with my command, it would be extremely difficult for my ship girls to challenge for a top-ten spot." Luo Lian handed the notebook to Xiao Bai and said calmly, "So, in order for the plan to proceed normally, I made this."

"This is..." Xiao Bai took Luo Lian's notebook, and then, at Luo Lian's prompting, carefully opened it.

Luo Lian's notebook was very neat, but one page happened to be folded.

When Xiaobai opened the notebook, she saw that the page was filled with a lot of writing.

Exercise Manual (2)

Important notes for Admiral Xiao Yuan in battle.

This tactical objective favors a four-gun, two-carrier formation, and the lineup used is highly versatile. Based on the strength of the base members and analysis of battle history, the likely lineup to be deployed is Duke of York, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Clemenceau, Zeppelin, and Illustrious.

Based on historical battle analysis, the ship girls in this lineup have a strong offensive fighting style. Therefore, in the first wave of firepower exchange between the two sides, it is not advisable to force a confrontation in order to seize the initiative. Instead, it is better to temporarily avoid the initial onslaught. Apart from the initial firepower advantage, this lineup will experience its first period of weakness between 24 and 36 seconds into the battle. Launching a counterattack at this time will help regain the initiative.

Duke of York and Clemenceau are top-tier ship girls with their ship equipment skills activated, so they are not suitable as the breakthrough point in this operation. Zeppelin and Illustrious, as the only two aircraft carrier ship girls, are not at the level of top-tier ship girls. Zeppelin, in particular, has not yet activated her ship equipment skills. Therefore, the lack of strength of the two aircraft carriers is the biggest weakness of this lineup. The first counterattack in the operation should be launched during the enemy's firepower vacuum period, targeting Zeppelin and unleashing a large amount of firepower.

In this operation, special attention should be paid to Clemenceau's ship equipment skills, whose capabilities are...

……

......"

This notebook, starting from this folded page and continuing for three or four pages, is basically filled with analyses of Admiral Xiao Yuan's abilities.

These pages of text are extensive and detailed, resembling a thesis. They cover everything from the lineup that Admiral Xiao Yuan will choose for the exercise, to the analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of all the ship girls in the lineup, to the tactical allocation during the battle, and even the timing of when the enemy will make a mistake in coordination and which ship girl will reveal a weakness.

If Admiral Xiao Yuan were to see this, she would probably be so frightened that she would get goosebumps all over.

Many of the weaknesses recorded here may not even be known to Admiral Xiao Yuan herself...

This is far too detailed.

Xiao Bai stared blankly at the notebook in Luo Lian's hand.

"Lianlian...this...this notebook is..."

"I write."

"Written on the spot?"

"Written in advance."

"Huh? When..."

"I just wrote it down whenever I had free time during training," Luo Lian said calmly.

"But you've been staying at the naval base the whole time... How did you know Admiral Xiao Yuan's weakness?"

"Combat recording."

"what?"

"Des Moines helped me record the battle footage."

“Well…no wonder I haven’t seen Des Moines much lately.” Xiao Bai smiled wryly. “…But Lianlian, how did you know that Admiral Xiao Yuan would challenge you?”

"Of course I don't know," Luo Lian replied matter-of-factly. "Even I didn't expect things to turn out this way."

"Then what is this notebook of yours..." Xiaobai asked in confusion, picking up the notebook.

“Admiral Xiao Yuan just happened to be inside,” Luo Lian replied. “I also wrote down other people.”

Luo Lian's expression was as if she were talking about a very ordinary little thing.

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai fell silent.

Xiao Bai looked down and flipped through the notebook, and sure enough.

Besides Admiral Xiao Yuan, there were other admirals listed at the back of the notebook.

The entire notebook, from beginning to end, covers almost fifty or sixty admirals.

Xiao Bai flipped to the first page of the notebook, looked at the large "Volume Two" mark on the page, and fell silent.

"Lian Lian."

"Ok?"

"How many people did you write about in total?"

“All of them,” Luo Lian said calmly. “I’ve written down a list of everyone from the top 200 in the world to the second-ranked person.”

Chapter 3291 Going Against the Heavens

Luo Lian's words immediately silenced Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai held the notebook in his hands and suddenly felt that it was unusually heavy.

"Lian Lian..."

"Ok?"

"You've really worked hard," Xiaobai said with emotion.

"Actually, it's alright," Luo Lian replied.

"You absolutely mustn't lose this notebook." Xiaobai handed the notebook back to Luo Lian.

"Yes, it won't get lost." Luo Lian took the notebook and put it in her arms.

Xiao Bai looked at Luo Lian with complicated emotions.

After this incident, Xiao Bai finally understood just how much effort Luo Lian had put in to break into the top ten garrison commanderies.

If Luo Lian still can't break into the top ten, then it would truly be an injustice.

"I have other drills coming up, Xiaobai, do you want to come with me?" Luo Lian asked.

"Ah... never mind then. Lianlian, you just defeated Admiral Xiao Yuan, and you'll probably become the focus of the whole city soon." Xiaobai shook her head. "If I continue to stay with you, I feel like a lot of gossip will spread."

"Alright." Luo Lian nodded.

Xiao Bai smiled at Luo Lian.

"Lianlian, keep going!"

"Well, then I'm leaving."

Luo Lian waved to Xiao Bai, and the ship girls behind her also said goodbye to Xiao Bai.

"Admiral Lu Lin! The ice cream is delicious! Thank you!"

"Admiral Lu Lin, wait for us to come back after get off work!"

The ship girls chattered excitedly, their innocent smiles radiating towards Shiro.

Xiaobai nodded and greeted the ship girls with a smile.

Luo Lian then led the ship girls and rushed to the sea area where the next exercise would be held.

After watching Luo Lian leave, Xiao Bai weighed the ice cream box in her hand, ate a few bites of the ice cream, walked to the trash can, and threw the box into it.

"Hmm... judging from the current situation, it seems like I don't need to take action..."

Little White muttered to himself.

Just as Xiaobai was talking to herself in front of the trash can, she suddenly looked towards the nearby sea entrance as if she had a premonition.
