Half an hour later, the sickly man collapsed, holding his head, his face pale and his lips trembling as he stared at the computer screen.
Lost.
Totally lost.
His words “Let’s give it a try” caused nearly 60% of the black soldiers to “die”.
"A-3 East Detachment will make a small detour from the southeast of Point C to meet up with the remaining B-1 Battalion, integrate the team, and make a tactical retreat."
"The West Squadron will split into two groups, east and west. The East Squadron will support the A-3 East Squadron, and the West Squadron will support the A-3 West Squadron."
"The remaining members of A-1 will reunite and retreat tactically. The route and danger points have been marked on the map, please be careful to avoid them... Over."
The pale and devastated consumptive ghost finally insisted on uttering the above instructions with a trembling body. Even though he had failed, he still insisted on completing the finishing work.
This is an essential quality of a commander.
Grief, anger, regret... He had to suppress all these emotions deep in his heart until the finishing work was completed, and he must not let these emotions affect his decision-making.
Zhu Shijiu watched the battle collapse the entire time.
The development of the battle was not complicated. It was nothing more than that when the large army moved forward and tried to split the Zerg swarm, the Zerg misjudged the actions of the black soldiers. Or perhaps the black soldiers on the scene did something unknown. In short, the number of Zerg separated from the Zerg swarm exceeded 20%.
This resulted in the remaining black soldiers in the encirclement force being stretched to the limit, and they eventually risked their lives to encircle and wipe out 20% of the black soldiers. However, the large force of black soldiers surrounded by the remaining 80% of the Zerg did not receive timely support, resulting in a large-scale counterattack.
This plan is not feasible.
Compared to the tuberculosis patient who was in a state of collapse, Zhu Shijiu seemed very calm and made this judgment in his heart.
In the eyes of outsiders, he was like an emotionless monster, and they almost watched coldly as the sickly man commanded a failed battle.
He did not participate in the command throughout the whole process, but silently watched the operation of the sickly ghost. Now recalling it, even he can point out the "mistakes" of the sickly ghost's operation. And these "mistakes" were not visible to anyone before the battle became uncontrollable. Even if the veteran commanders were to examine it, they would only think that the decision made by the sickly ghost at that time was not problematic.
However, the root cause of the failure was that the sickly man impulsively carried out the plan under Zhu Shijiu's persuasion.
If you want to blame someone, just blame the sick guy for wanting a victory too much.
The more he persisted, the more desperate he became about the current battle situation. No matter how he felt, all that came to his mind was irreversible despair, so he was very hesitant before deciding to give it one final try.
At this time Zhu Shijiu appeared.
Zhu Shijiu's determination shook his hesitation, so he, who had always been cautious, began to seek change and boldly implemented tactics. The result was... complete failure.
"Oh shit."
The tuberculosis ghost slammed the table with red eyes.

But he did not blame Zhu Shijiu, because he had emphasized from the beginning that this was his decision alone. So the guilt would always be borne by him. He did not want Zhu Shijiu to participate in the battle, so that when the battle failed, Zhu Shijiu's hands would not be stained with sin.
However, although Zhu Shijiu could not be blamed, he felt a little unhappy when he saw Zhu Shijiu's nonchalant look, as if Zhu Shijiu did not regard the black soldiers as human lives, and he did not even waver in the slightest.
His determination is so strong that he is almost heartless.
Just as the sickly ghost glared at Zhu Shijiu angrily, Zhu Shijiu began to ask about the details of the previous battle, especially focusing on why the alien insects were not cut off by 10% as they expected.
The sickly ghost felt more and more that Zhu Shijiu had no empathy for the casualties of the black soldiers.
"You guy... do you only regard the lives of the black soldiers as cold numbers?" The sickly ghost trembled his lips and almost raised his fist to punch Zhu Shijiu in the face!
Zhu Shijiu said seriously: "Of course not, but compared to the battle that has already failed, the reason for the failure is more important to me!"
This helps him adjust accordingly next time.
The sickly ghost naturally couldn't understand what Zhu Shijiu meant. He resisted the urge to act, supported his slightly dizzy head, and said through gritted teeth: "Because my original plan was just an ideal plan. Although I have taken the physical conditions of the black soldiers into consideration as much as possible, I still overestimated them. Their physical condition is worse than I thought, which makes it impossible for them to perfectly control their own pheromones. With scattered pheromones, it is naturally impossible to successfully execute the plan."
"I see..." Zhu Shijiu silently digested and absorbed the information, and asked, "Then if you could go back to the time before the plan started, what kind of adjustments would you make?"

The sickly ghost slumped in his chair with a look of despair on his face. "How could this be possible? It's too late to say anything now. The number of existing black soldiers has returned to the beginning, with only more than a thousand black soldiers left. The organization originally sent people to support the Liberian defense base because it could not hold on. Now I have wasted the opportunity. The organization will not send more people."
Zhu Shijiu patted the sickly ghost on the shoulder as if to comfort him: "I know, but we must always learn from our failures. Tell me, if you could go back to the past, what adjustments would you make?"
The tubercular ghost now looked at Zhu Shijiu with an even colder look in his eyes.
Not only him, but even the other commanders who noticed what happened here looked at Zhu Shijiu with cold eyes without saying a word.
They all understood at this moment, this guy... just regarded this battle as a tool for his growth, he didn't care how many people died, he only cared about what he could learn from failure and how he could grow.
asshole.
However, Zhu Shijiu didn't care about what others thought of him at all, and was even too lazy to pretend. He still stubbornly asked the tuberculosis patient.
The sickly ghost took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "If I could go back to the beginning, I would not choose this tactic, because the black soldiers no longer have the physical strength to support this tactic. However, from the battle just now, I saw another way, but this tactic is more complicated than the original one. It involves the deployment of multiple points and requires a strong ability to control the overall situation."
The sickly ghost closed his eyes and recalled the situation at the beginning.
"Suppose we divide the entire force into 28 squads and two battalions, and let the two battalions attack the Zerg troops from the southeast and northwest respectively. Then the two battalions will be able to divide the Zerg swarm 50-50."
"Then order the 28 teams to insert from the center, and work back-to-back with the two large teams to attack and devour the Zerg swarm. In this way, the two large teams and the 28 teams can release pheromones to support each other and relieve pressure when they are exhausted, and can also fully ensure the chance of survival."
The sickly ghost opened his eyes and reluctantly pointed out to Zhu Shijiu on the map another tactic he had in mind.
"For example, if the two battalions are on the verge of physical limit, then the 28 squads in the center will release pheromones to attract alien insects to attack, and the two battalions can take the opportunity to recover and play a supporting role. And if the 28 squads can't hold on, then the two battalions will implement the bait tactic to give the 28 squads in the center a chance to catch their breath."
"For the 28 teams in the center, they can also take care of each other. If any one of them can't hold on, they can split up and take care of each other... If the whole process is executed perfectly, we should be able to wipe out about 20% to 30% of the Zerg before they notice and flee."
Zhu Shijiu asked in confusion: "Then why didn't you choose this tactic before? There must be a reason, right?"
He needs to ask this question clearly because he doesn't want to die in vain.
The sickly ghost sighed and said, "Because this tactic is too complicated, if something unexpected happens on the spot, I have no control over it... Well, what are you doing?"
After hearing the last part, Zhu Shijiu stopped listening and decisively decided to go back to the original file.
Worried about unexpected events that are beyond your control
What are you afraid of with me?!
