"However, there is one thing I think I need to say." Wu Jie paused and glanced sharply at all the dancers. This cold glance shocked all the dancers.
Although he was just an ordinary person, he gave all the dancers an unknown pressure, especially when Wu Jie fell silent. The oppressive feeling from the superior spread to the chest like a tide, making it difficult to breathe.
Seeing that all the dancers were silent and no one dared to look into his eyes, Wu Jie thought that the atmosphere he wanted had been achieved.
Wu Jie glanced at Skadi and said, "Captain Zhongqi, may I ask, how much do you know about the Abyssal Skeleton Princess?"
Skadi was stunned. She was a little confused about Wu Jie's intentions, but she still replied: "At present, I only know through the official documents sent by the military. What I know is similar to what the other flagship captains know."
Wu Jie nodded, hummed, and then said, "Is what Captain Zhongqi said true?"
As Wu Jie's gaze swept over, all the flagship captains immediately said, "It's true! Commander!"
Wu Jie then asked, "Well, each of you stand up and tell me how much you know about the Abyss Skeleton Princess now? Black Pearl, you answer first."
hiss~
Black Pearl was shocked when he didn't expect the counterattack to come so soon.
She stood up, frowning, looking a little nervous, and her eyes unconsciously looked at Skadi. Although her head did not move, it was obvious that she was asking Skadi what she meant.
Skadi just nodded silently and let her say whatever she wanted to say.
Black Pearl coughed and said, "First, it possesses an unknown defensive force field that cannot be easily broken by ordinary artillery attacks. Second, it possesses skeleton mines that can attack the enemy like torpedoes. Third, it can command the Aurora Beasts to launch tactical attacks on the fleet. Over!"
Wu Jie nodded to Black Pearl and said, "Sit down."
Black Pearl smiled. It seemed like she was right. This new commander couldn't find fault with her. "Hmph, let's see what tricks you have up your sleeve. You want to trick me? Is that that easy?"
Seeing this, Skadi also breathed a sigh of relief. Wu Jie did not rush to speak, nor did he point out any loopholes in what Black Pearl said. Could it be that Wu Jie was just tricking Black Pearl?
Regardless of what these two people were thinking, Wu Jie turned his gaze to the captains of the other ships and asked again, "Captains, do you have anything to add?"
The captains of all the flagships looked at each other, because what Zhen Zhenzhu said was basically what they knew. After all, except Jasmine, no one here had seen the Skeleton Princess in actual combat, so for a moment they didn't know what Wu Jie wanted them to add.
After waiting for several dozen seconds, Wu Jie looked at the time and felt that there was no need to wait any longer. He was about to start the next topic when suddenly a flagship captain raised his hand.
Wu Jie was stunned. It was Beatrice, the captain of the seventh flagship. Interesting. He wondered if she had anything to add.
Wu Jie nodded to Beatrice: "Beatrice, Captain of the flagship, please speak!"
All of the captains focused their attention on Beatrice. It seemed like Beatrice rarely stood up to speak in meetings. She looked a little nervous. Wu Jie noticed she was even pinching the corner of her clothes. He recalled Beatrice's profile in his mind. It seemed she had been promoted to flagship captain just last month. No wonder she was so nervous.
Beatrice stood up, staring at the wall across from her. She didn't dare look at the flag captain or the commander. She nervously said, "Commander, based on my understanding of the Skeleton Princess's current files, I suspect she can change weapons."
Wu Jie was shocked after hearing this.
This was the first time he was surprised. This girl named Beatrice had great potential!
It's worth training. Compared with other flagship captains, Beatrice must have thought carefully about the Abyss Skeleton Princess and conducted research on her.
Black Pearl was a little unhappy and said, "Beatrice, on the battlefield, speculation alone is not enough. We need substantial evidence. Random speculation and rash judgment, if wrong, will not only sacrifice you and your men, but may even implicate the entire column!"
Wu Jie frowned. Was this something a captain of the same rank as a flagship captain should say? Neither the commander nor the captain of the middle flag said anything. She was even more anxious than her superiors. What was going on?
Wu Jie couldn't help but turn his gaze to Skadi. Skadi felt Wu Jie's gaze and immediately realized that Black Pearl had said the wrong thing. This behavior of ignoring the criticism of superiors and comrades of the same level is a taboo in the meeting.
Black Pearl, Black Pearl, it would be fine if you said this in daily life, but you did it in the meeting. Aren't you giving the new commander an advantage?
Skadi immediately coughed, tapped her index finger on the table, and said, "Pearl, watch your words. This is a combat meeting room. Even if you know what Beatrice said is wrong, you can't be so casual. Do you still respect me, the captain of the Central Flag?"
Wu Jie chuckled inwardly. This Skadi was really good at making excuses for her own people, mentioning the captain of the Central Flag instead of the commander. What a trick. Never mind. It wasn't a big deal anyway, and they would be working together in the future. There was no need to argue with them about right and wrong over something like this.
Black Pearl immediately realized that Skadi was trying to make a big deal out of a small matter for her. She smiled knowingly and said to Skadi, "I'm sorry, Captain Zhongqi. I was too impulsive. Beatrice, I apologize."
Beatrice was already very nervous, and she knew that her guess had no strong basis. When she heard Black Pearl's scolding, she immediately became at a loss. Black Pearl was a veteran flagship captain, and she already had some awe of Black Pearl, so now she dared not speak.
Her eyes just kept staring at the table, her face flushed, and she was so nervous that she almost tore the corners of her clothes.
Skadi felt a little sorry for Beatrice. She didn't comment on Black Pearl's actions. After all, she was her confidante. But now she was in a difficult situation. She wanted to comfort Beatrice, but found that she didn't know what to say.
Just as Skadi was thinking about what to say, Wu Jie spoke before her.
Wu Jie smiled and said, "Beatrice, your ideas are insightful and bold. Although groundless speculation can easily lead troops astray during wartime, it is not necessarily a bad thing. When facing an unknown enemy, sometimes you have to make bold guesses and use your imagination. Only in this way can you take precautions before something happens. Otherwise, when something really happens and you realize your guess was correct, it will be too late to regret. Beatrice, please sit down. You speak very well and I admire you very much."
