Chapter 432 How did we win in the Arctic before?

Chapter 432 How did we win in the Arctic before?
Done.

Fang Qingyu and the others had already looked at the tablet that Jiang Qi had handed over.

The screen clearly listed the full arrival of the self-proclaimed demons and the reorganization of the Gods' Association into the Society of All Beings.

A summary of the series of horrific events that were perpetrated.

On January 17th, in Los Angeles, the Society of All Beings, under the guise of bestowing blessings, lured and sacrificed 17 followers, including three promising young martial artists.

The fathers of these three promising young men had a feud with the gods.

On February 3, Wang, the deputy director of the Logistics Department of Shannan City (a fourth-tier Martial Venerable), was lured into joining the Society of All Beings by the promise of divine grace to cure his only son's rare and incurable illness. He leaked a large amount of intelligence on the frontline supply dispatch, which led to the ambush of three transport teams, resulting in heavy casualties. Afterwards, Wang committed suicide at home, leaving a note saying that he was the future of all humanity and that his death was worthwhile.

This deputy director had previously killed an elder of the Pantheon.

On February 22nd, the master of the Tingyulou Martial Arts School in Southern Xinjiang (peak of the third tier), who had been stuck at a bottleneck for fifteen years, received guidance from the core members of the Shengsheng Association and practiced the so-called divinely bestowed rapid success method. Within three days, his strength skyrocketed to the mid-stage of the fourth tier Martial Venerable. Subsequently, he suddenly went berserk in a busy city and indiscriminately attacked passersby, causing numerous civilian casualties. He was eventually killed, and the autopsy revealed that his brain and meridians had been completely eroded and corrupted.

This curator had previously cooperated with the Federation to dismantle a major stronghold of the Pantheon.

Each and every incident is shocking.

They dragged their target into the abyss and made them believe until their deaths that they were carrying out a noble mission.

Its methods are insidious and its harm is far-reaching.

A terrorist organization far beyond the ordinary.

Fang Qingyu's gaze calmly swept over each record.

He and He Manhe are old rivals.

Now that the other party holds a high position of power, retaliation is inevitable.

Fang Qingyu nodded slightly, acknowledging Jiang Qi's assessment: "Okay, you can arrange this. You'll be fully responsible for coordinating intelligence gathering, internal screening, and counter-infiltration plans. Just ask for any resources you need, and report to me immediately if you encounter any resistance or if it involves high-level officials."

"Yes! General!"

Jiang Qi immediately responded, quickly swiping her finger across the tablet to mark the internal threat response plan of the All Beings Society as the highest priority, and began to draft a preliminary action plan framework.

Everyone continued to focus their attention on Jiang Qi, and now only the last, and most important, point remained.

The Chu Jiang King's army itself.

Jiang Qi took a deep breath, her expression becoming extremely focused and serious.

She retrieved detailed information on King Chujiang's army, her voice clear and steady: "Based on a comprehensive analysis of the limited intelligence we currently possess, King Chujiang himself, according to the divine rank classification, belongs to the Xuanding level of deities. However..."

She emphasized her tone.

At the same time, a close-up of the bizarrely shaped staff on the screen, resembling an ice-covered spine, was zoomed in.

"However, he controls this artifact, which is suspected to have been inherited from the ancient underworld."

"This artifact has an extremely high energy reaction level, which greatly amplifies and mutates the power of King Chujiang, causing his actual combat strength to fluctuate greatly. Under certain circumstances, its extreme attack power may even briefly touch the threshold of the Yuanxu level god."

She raised her head and looked directly at Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei beside her.

She asked the core question concerning the entire war zone's strategic deployment: "I want to know, are you, or Lady Nuba, capable of dealing with this? At the very least, are you able to hold them off steadily in a direct confrontation, creating an opportunity for our legions to defeat their forces?"

This issue is crucial and directly determines the outcome when the A7 theater faces the Chujiang King's army.

What tactics should be adopted: a conservative strategy of containment and attrition, or an aggressive strategy of annihilation?

Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei exchanged a glance subconsciously.

They couldn't help but chuckle.

Fang Qingyu turned back to look at Jiang Qi: "Of course. Otherwise, why would I choose him?"

"We chose him not because we were confident we could hold him off, but because we were confident we could annihilate him."

"Annihilate them?!"

No matter how professional and composed Jiang Qi was, upon hearing those two words...

His expression couldn't help but falter slightly.

That's a Yama-level being who rules over the Frozen Hell and wields terrifying divine artifacts.

The word "annihilate" sounds a bit too easy, doesn't it?

But she knew very well that Fang Qingyu would never say he couldn't do something.

So he quickly suppressed the turmoil in his heart.

Her professionalism allowed her to instantly enter a new state of mind.

Without any questioning, she immediately bowed deeply: "Understood! Intelligence confirmed! I will immediately revise all subsequent operational plans and resource allocation plans in accordance with this strategic objective!"

After saying that, she didn't even care about etiquette.

He immediately grabbed his tablet, walked to the corner of the meeting room, and began to re-plan with lightning speed.

He entered a state of complete absorption in his work.

It was as if everything around me had ceased to exist.

This scene left Chu Kuanglan, Wei Banmeng, and the others speechless with astonishment.

"Be good."

Chu Kuanglan lowered his voice and whispered to Lu Jiuyuan beside him.

"This is what a professional strategist should be like! Receiving information, analyzing and judging, adjusting plans—all so smooth and efficient, without a single hesitation or wasted word."

"Unlike before, when we would just close our eyes and rush in, relying on experience and reaction to coordinate our attacks in real-time battles, we never thought about all the intricacies before the fight started."

Lu Jiuyuan nodded in deep agreement: "Indeed. In large-scale operations, especially this level of confrontation, having someone like him makes things much easier for us and helps us avoid a lot of unnecessary losses."

The others felt the same way.

This group of people has no problem with individual skills or teamwork.

However, when it comes to the overall planning of a million-strong army, the coordination of multiple branches of the armed forces, logistical support, and intelligence support—such complex systemic warfare—it is indeed not their forte.

Jiang Qi's presence perfectly made up for this shortcoming.

So everyone remained silent.

I didn't disturb Jiang Qi, who was engrossed in her work.

They were simply digesting the information from the meeting.

Only when the high-speed rail elevator emitted a gentle beep indicating that it had arrived at the hub platform belonging to the A7 war zone did Su Wanqing softly remind them, "Commander Jiang, we've arrived."

Jiang Qi then snapped out of her state of complete concentration.

He quickly put away the screen and tablet, his face regaining its usual capable expression, showing no embarrassment whatsoever: "Sorry, everyone, let's go."

Everyone walked out of the elevator.

They have returned to the core area of the A7 war zone.

Jiang Qi led the way while continuing to explain.

Pointing to a sturdy, silver-gray building not far away, he said, "General Fang, that's the command headquarters building for the A7 theater. Your office, the operations command center, the intelligence analysis center, and the collaborative work area for all the generals are all located there. It's more convenient for you to handle military affairs and hold meetings here."

After saying that, she led Fang Qingyu and his group toward the command building.

The staff inside the building seemed to have been notified in advance.

There wasn't a grand scene of a group lining up to greet them, but every person passing by, whether officer, clerk, or technical officer, would immediately stop and bow slightly or nod when they saw Fang Qingyu and his entourage, their faces showing genuine respect and a hint of excitement, and they would greet them in hushed tones.
"General Fang!"

"General!"

Several of them, who were clearly seasoned veterans, even blurted out instinctively, "Major Fang!"

Only after shouting did I realize something was wrong.

He quickly covered his mouth and gave an embarrassed smile.

Fang Qingyu responded with nods, creating a harmonious and natural atmosphere.

There was no uncomfortable sense of distance caused by his change in status and strength.

The atmosphere at the headquarters was tense yet orderly.

This pleased Fang Qingyu greatly.

Jiang Qi led everyone to the top floor in a private elevator.

I got to know each person's office and break room in turn.

Every vantage point offered an excellent view, overlooking vast stretches of the war zone. Clearly, meticulous preparation had been undertaken.

At last.

They arrived at the highest-level operations conference room located in the core area of the top floor.

In the center of the conference room is a huge 3D projection sand table.

The system is currently simulating the real-time situation in the A7 theater and surrounding waters.

The surrounding walls are touch-screen information displays.

Various data streams flow through it.

Jiang Qi walked to the main control panel, operated it a few times, and said, "Based on the estimated time, the headquarters' specific operational instructions and shared intelligence packages for each war zone should have been transmitted and decrypted by now."

As soon as she finished speaking, the tablets in front of everyone in the conference room...

At the same time, a task message marked in scarlet text popped up on both the central screen and the screen itself.

[A7 Sector Highest Priority Mission (ID: HLW-C001)]

[Mission Name: Battle of the Great Wall at Sea - First Battle!]

[Mission Objective: To inflict a devastating blow on the vanguard of King Chujiang's army (estimated strength of 5), annihilating its manpower, seizing the initiative on the battlefield, and boosting the morale of the entire army.]

[Mission Objective: Completely annihilate the target force and collect as much combat data as possible from the Chujiang King's army]

[Mission Time: March 3rd, the first year of the New Era, just before dawn.]

[Mission Location: Coordinates (East Longitude XXX, North Latitude XXX), Blackwater Whirlpool Sea Area.]

Operation Codename: Icebreaker

Fang Qingyu looked at the task and was slightly taken aback.

He had guessed that they might be involved in the first battle.

But unexpectedly, the higher-ups directly assigned the entire first battle to the A7 war zone.

"Breaking the Ice. That name is quite fitting."

Fang Qingyu said softly.

By this time, everyone else had also finished reading the task details.

After a brief moment of surprise, their faces lit up with excitement and eagerness.

They've been cooped up in Dawn City for far too long.
I used to be fighting all the time, so it's been a while since I've done it, and I'm really not used to it.

Chu Kuanglan slapped his thigh hard: "Finally, there's a battle to fight! I've been in seclusion for so long, I feel like my bones are about to rust!"

Others shared similar thoughts.

Fang Qingyu understood their feelings and naturally wouldn't spoil their fun.

However, after reading the task details...

He turned to look at Jiang Qi.

"Commander Jiang," Fang Qingyu said, "you will be in charge of battlefield command and overall coordination for this first battle."

"what?"

Jiang Qi was intently analyzing the task data.

Upon hearing this, he abruptly raised his head, his face showing obvious surprise and bewilderment for the first time. He even subconsciously asked, "Me? General, this..."

Let her make the plans and coordinate resources, no problem.

However, directly handing over the on-site command of such an important battle to her, a newly appointed liaison officer with the rank of colonel, was a huge mistake.

This was completely beyond her expectations and routine.

There were powerful figures like Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei present.

There were also Chu Kuanglan, Wei Banmeng, and a group of other fourth-tier Martial Venerables.
It shouldn't be her turn at all.

Seeing this, Chu Kuanglan grinned and chimed in, "Commander Jiang, don't feel guilty. Just give orders when you're told to. Don't be fooled by how fierce we are in a fight, or how we've never lost before. We earned our reputation mostly through sheer strength and the courage and fighting spirit of our brothers."

"When it comes to the meticulous command of such large-scale operations, we don't really know much about it. We're usually too busy burying ourselves in our training."

He shrugged, quite nonchalantly: "So, battlefield coordination and command—these professional tasks should be left to you professionals. The higher your skill level and the better you command, the less trouble we roughnecks will have, the more enjoyable the fighting will be, and the greater our chances of winning! We'll absolutely accept it and cooperate!"

"Old Chu is right."

Wei Banmeng also spoke in a cool tone, "Commanding on the spot is not our forte, Colonel Jiang, there is no need to refuse."

Lu Jiuyuan, Su Wanqing, and others nodded in support.

Everyone is self-aware.

They excel at individual combat and squad tactics.

But commanding an army of millions to fight against a powerful enemy in a complex environment.

What's needed is a different kind of talent.

Jiang Qi glanced at the gazes cast upon her by the group of powerful figures around her, and finally looked at Fang Qingyu.

She saw the other person nod slightly in response.

She immediately took a deep breath, straightened her spine, and nodded emphatically: "Then please give me some time, and I will immediately draft a battle plan based on the mission requirements."

soon.

Jiang Qi then stood up again and walked to the front of the conference room.
"A preliminary plan has been drafted. Please take a look!"

With a wave of her hand, the light and shadow on the 3D sand table changed.

A detailed 3D map of the Blackwater eddy currents instantly appeared.

The estimated troop deployments of both sides, ocean current trends, seabed topography, and climate conditions are all clearly visible.

"In this operation, our side deployed 100,000 troops. Based on the principle of a 2:1 ratio of enemy to friendly forces, and to ensure the strategic objective of annihilation rather than defeat, this troop deployment is reasonable."

"The primary issue is deployment. The target area is about 210 nautical miles from the combat zone. The key is to conceal and rapidly deploy a large number of troops. Our military's latest deployment is the Haijiao-class assault transport submarine, which is built using biological materials from the Minggui. Each submarine can carry up to 10,000 troops. It has a large diving depth, excellent stealth performance, and the ability to burst high speed in a short time."

"I suggest that ten Haijiao-class ships be immediately deployed to carry out this troop deployment mission."

After speaking, Jiang Qi looked at Fang Qingyu.

Fang Qingyu nodded subconsciously.

Jiang Qi continued, "I suggest that at 5:30 a.m., the darkest hour before dawn, all ten 'Sea Dragons' should simultaneously rise to their attack positions."

"The first wave of attacks should be led by General Chu Kuanglan, directly targeting the core to create chaos, while..."

"After the vanguard disrupted the enemy's formation, the main force launched a general offensive from three directions simultaneously. General Wei Banmeng led the Breaking Formation Heavy Armor Group in a frontal assault, while General Su Wanqing led the Flowing Light Rapid Reaction Group to maneuver on the flanks."

"Then comes the cleanup and withdrawal: mopping up the remaining enemy forces, collecting spoils and data, and returning with the support of the Sea Dragon submarine. The entire operation must be completed within one hour after sunrise."

"Finally, regarding the special combat force deployment, General Fang and Lady Nuba, as the highest-level combat force for strategic deterrence and countering King Chujiang, please temporarily refrain from direct participation in the initial engagement aboard the command ship Haijiao No. 1, located in the center of the main fleet. Once King Chujiang's appearance is confirmed, or the enemy uses divine artifact-level power, then you two should decisively take action to carry out decapitation strikes or forcefully suppress the enemy."

The words fell.

Jiang Qi looked at everyone in the conference room with great anticipation.

However, everyone else fell silent at this moment, not only Chu Kuanglan and his group, but even Fang Qingyu.

"Cough cough."

However, upon noticing Jiang Qi's gaze, Fang Qingyu immediately coughed.

Then he smiled and looked at Jiang Qi.

“You’re absolutely right, let’s proceed with this plan.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qi's face immediately lit up with joy, and she saluted, saying, "Then I'll go prepare now!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the conference room.

Only the meeting room remained.
A group of people listened, somewhat bewildered.

There was silence for a long time.

Chu Kuanglan muttered something under his breath.
