. "Everyone tells me what to do now? How can this battle continue? Ah? Why don't everyone talk? "

The tents of the central army camp were filled with suffocating low pressure. Each attendee was studying the exquisiteness of bionics, burying his head lower and lower like an ostrich. Although Ilminster and Xinbu did not need to be afraid of Chairman Zena's power, as defeated generals, they really had no position to speak, and had to learn from the ostrich like others without saying a word.

So, after Chairman Zena yelled at the main seat, no one came to touch her bad temper. She had nowhere to vent her anger, so she had to drink black tea to relieve the heat and relieve the air. A tense and awkward atmosphere appeared in the venue for a moment.

Since the Giant Bear Legion renovated the road during the march, Chairman Zena's large force theoretically only takes two days to reach the front line of the Arctic Port. The problem is that because the Chairman attaches importance to image construction, he held too many battlefield press conferences and military and civilian condolences along the way, and the two-day itinerary was dragged into eight days. When the two armies met, the Arctic Port had already changed hands, and the fleet had collectively moved to the bottom of the sea, and even the wounded and survivors were contained.

Looking at the Arctic Port where tens of thousands of enemy troops have entered, everyone is at a loss in their hearts. How to explain to the higher authorities is a realistic and urgent question - who is the culprit of defeat?

Speaking of which, Arctic Port was lost again. The expeditionary force was wiped out, and people from all sides were very responsible: Chairman Zena had the responsibility to delay military opportunities and advance slowly; Feili, commander of the Giant Bear Legion, had the responsibility to retreat in the face of the enemy; Karthas, the liaison officer of the "battlefield tour group", had the responsibility to give up his tour guide position and flee without fighting; Ilminster, the head coach of the expeditionary force, had the responsibility to underestimate the enemy in the face of war; although Queen Xinbu fought bravely, she still had to bear a certain responsibility for defeat if she lost...

However, the accountability has never been able to be held accountable to the supreme leader. Therefore, at the post-war summary report meeting, Chairman Zena, the top leader of the colonial area, first criticized himself and said sadly: "Although I am not a direct leader in this heavy failure. I am in the rear, I also bear some indirect responsibility..."

Since I bear indirect responsibility, it means there is no direct responsibility. The local side is not willing to be outdone. Ilminster, who was packaged as a mummy, immediately claimed: "This time the failure is caused by a variety of factors, among which the objective adverse factors are the main reasons for the failure... I also have a subjective attitude that I am not very vigilant enough and rely on my old experience to do things. Therefore, the responsibility of the leadership lies mainly in me, as for the specific responsibility..."

Since objective reasons are the main focus, subjective mistakes are naturally very secondary. And Ilminster has already assumed leadership responsibilities, so the actual responsibility should be put on actual execution according to the principle.

It’s a pity that the sage is so bad that no one is willing to take the blame for him. Queen Xinbu, who actually commanded the naval battle, glanced coldly and said: “...I keep my own opinion on what some people do! I will take on the responsibility I should bear for this major loss. Of course, what kind of responsibility should be borne? It also needs to be unanimously recognized by everyone!”

Although Queen Xinbu has a hot temper, she has been intoxicated by local people in the officialdom for many years. She is actually saying the strongest warning: "I have fought hard at least, and I am much better than you guys who are not doing anything at all. Don't look for me if you want to shirk responsibility! Otherwise, I will make all the problems on it and everyone will kill you!"

Queen Xinbu said this, and the other two parties were not inferior. Feili said sincerely: "...In the series of changes before and after the capture of Arctic Port, I have always adhered to the duties of the soldiers. All work has fully followed the instructions of the superiors from the local area. I feel deeply sorry for the accidents that arise..."

The problem arising from obeying the orders of superiors seems to be the person who gives the orders. And it has been declared that it is an accident, so it is not within the scope of accountability.

Karthas's statement is even more subtle: "In this incident, I have always been observing the duties of civilians..." Since it is to fulfill the duties of civilians, staying on the battlefield to fight against the enemy is a matter of soldiers, so I, as a civilian, should naturally choose to avoid it. I really put the wonderfulness of the identity of the liaison officer to the extreme.

In short, everyone's attitude is summarized in one sentence: "We will never bear the responsibilities we should not bear!"

On an irresponsible basis, a group of old official fry and small fry were discussed and discussed. Finally, everyone made a resolution to temporarily freeze the defeat: "...In response to this serious setback, we must widely criticize and self-criticize...of course.

We must be based on current reality and not be entangled in some historical joint problems. This specific responsibility is not important. What is important is to learn from experience and lessons... we must look at the problem from a perspective of the ground..."

The issue of accountability came to an end in the battle for the past, and it seemed that it was time to discuss the main thing. But even if you no longer get entangled in some of the already born joint issues, but look at the actual situation from an open perspective, all military and political officials seemed to be able to see an extremely bleak prospect.

At present, the situation of this colonial coalition is really embarrassing. The enemy is defending the city and can receive artillery support from the fleet. However, the reinforcements of our side have been tortured by a group of lay leaders. Although Chairman Zena still has 30,000 troops under his command, and the same number of armed men, and the equipment is relatively complete, morale and quality are very problematic, and there is no help from the fleet. What consequences will be for taking the initiative to attack, no matter how

Very pessimistic.

If you choose to stay outside the Arctic Harbor and build a position to confront the enemy, you will have a relatively high chance of winning.

But the problem is that the elves that annihilated the Imperial Fleet had no need to get entangled with this colonial coalition. Since they had complete control of the sea, they could land directly on the sea route in various ports in the south of the colony after the rest. The colonies where all their troops gathered here would inevitably suffer heavy losses. Even if they could take this opportunity to seize the Arctic Port, it would be useless to the overall situation.

In this way, it seems that the only way to retreat to the rear and disperse the troops to strengthen the sea defense. However, this countermeasure is not a good idea. The 30,000 troops gathered together are still difficult to fight against this enemy force, and they will lack the chance of winning after being dispersed. Moreover, once the army retreats, Chairman Zena will not only lose its reputation, but even the troops that have finally been gathered together may be taken back by the states to defend their respective hometowns, and her supreme leader will become famous. What's more, if unfortunately defeated completely, she may even be introduced by the states to act as a scapegoat.

Attacking is powerless, confrontation is useless, and withdrawing troops is disintegrating. Such a difficult multiple-choice question really makes everyone attending the meeting dilemma. The volunteer troops sent by the southern states have begun to move in their own teams and return to their hometowns to fight to defend their relatives - even though the enemy is clearly in the city in front of them. Chairman Zena is helpless in addition to having a headache.

"Isn't the situation obvious? In my opinion, attacking is seeking death, not attacking is waiting for death!" Queen Xinbu's fierce temper finally gotten angry. She knocked the teacup on the table, stood up and shouted loudly, "Instead of sitting here and waiting for the enemy to finish it and attack our rear by sea, it's better to fight a siege battle with all its strength! Even if you can't take the Arctic Port, you can stick them here!"

When Xinbu said what everyone was thinking, everyone was relieved and blushed a little. As Chairman Zena's confidant, Charlotte had to bite the bullet and get up to smooth things over.

"Your Majesty Xinbu, your courage is very worthy of praise, but considering the strength of our army at present, everyone has to be more careful..."

"I can't think of anything to be cautious." Xinbu shrugged and interrupted Charlotte's defense, expressing his disagreement with this statement. "I only know that once the enemy's fleet leaves the Arctic Port, our army will never have any chance to block them. And every moment we stay here is damaging the morale of our army. The longer it delays, the more our morale will be shaken. The more perfect the enemy's preparations will be." She looked around and paused for a moment. Then she expressed her opinion in a louder voice, "Of course, the less future we have! So please show your courage and face the enemy bravely! Every moment you fight here, the more safe the homeland in the rear can be!"

Despite Queen Xinbu's passionate statement, others were still suspicious. After all, the continuous bad news was really frustrating and frightening. Even if the real blow had not yet fallen on the colonial army, they had almost lost their confidence.

Of course, this is not to say that they have lost their will to fight. Although Queen Xinbu is eager to win a victory to make up for the previous defeat, others do not want the war to burn their homes. But like Xinbu, who is so angry, they bet all the chips at hand on a decisive battle with a low chance of winning, which is somewhat somewhat confusing. She wants to get rid of the current predicament and is unwilling to take responsibility for this risk.

So everyone learned the essence of Tai Chi and the secret of playing football. They talked about the enemy's strength, their own difficulties, and allowing the opponent to go south to threaten. But when they talked about specific responses, they all stammered and vaguely, and refused to make choices in these three countermeasures. In the end, they were summed up: "Opportunities and risks coexist, dangers and interests coexist! As for what to do, please make a decision, and we will definitely follow it!"

Ask the leader to make a decision, which means that if there is a problem, please be responsible for yourself and don’t treat us as a scapegoat. How smart Chairman Kezena is, how willing to get into the trap? Seeing his subordinates pushing the ball to him, he immediately said very democratically: "This problem has a great impact and cannot be easily decided by one or two people... We must abide by the principle of collective leadership and oppose individual arbitrary... Therefore, we must be unanimously recognized by everyone!"

Seeing another football battle in the venue, Queen Xinbu was so angry that she was so angry that she almost used violent coercion. Fortunately, Ilminster understood the truth and knew that this problem could only be arguing slowly and stopped her. However, the two defeated players also had no plans to become the main responsible person, so the meeting had to continue the stalemate.

However, just as the third round of the game was about to end, the situation was unexpected.

"Great victory! Great victory!" A messenger pushed open the guard at the door and rushed into the venue panting. He waved a piece of copy paper desperately in his hand. "Great news came from Port Emon, City of Glory, and more than a dozen other port cities! The elves' southward harassing troops have been completely wiped out!"
