Not only did the Smoker suspect that the Tuberculosis Man copied other people's tactics, other commanders also thought so.
The tactics that Zhu Shijiu came up with in almost no time were exactly the same as the tactics in the mind of the sickly ghost. How could they fool a three-year-old child? How could there be such a coincidence
So a very reasonable speculation came to their minds.
—They seriously suspected that Zhu Shijiu’s tactics were not very clever and that the tuberculosis patient was just looking for someone to take the blame.
The sickly man had been tortured by the war situation in Liberia in recent days, and perhaps he had lost his basic qualities as a commander in this extreme torture, which led to his mental problems and his self-destructive behavior.
The appearance of Zhu Shijiu is undoubtedly a great opportunity to pass the buck.
As long as the sickly ghost adopted Zhu Shijiu's tactics, even if he failed, he could claim that most of the responsibility lay in the tactics and reduce his guilt.
The smoker squinted his eyes as he puffed out smoke and guessed. He could almost imagine what the sickly ghost would say after his command failed. It was nothing more than saying that he easily believed the judgment of Zhu Shijiu, a genius, or that he chose this tactic because of Zhu Shijiu's instigation...
However, what the sickly man said next surprised the commanders, including the smoker.
He had no intention of letting Zhu Shijiu take the blame, and said to Zhu Shijiu something similar to what he said in the previous round: "This tactic just matches the tactic I have in mind. Even if we want to implement this tactic, it is not your idea, but my decision alone!"
Zhu Shijiu naturally saw through the sickly guy's intention to take the responsibility, but before the tactics were successful, no matter what this guy said, he only thought about one thing, which was to win the battle and successfully pass the graduation examination of the command course.
"I was originally hesitant about whether to implement this tactic, but since you think so, it means that this tactic still has some possibility of being implemented. Let me think about it carefully..."
The sickly and exhausted spirit was slightly lifted. After all, in the face of repeated setbacks, his confidence as a commander was gradually worn away, and he began to doubt himself. Sometimes he even felt that he was incompetent and a complete waste. Under the enormous pressure, this self-blow tortured him to the point of driving him crazy.
At this moment, Zhu Shijiu suddenly appeared and affirmed the tactics in his mind. How could he not be excited
The word "paranoid" is the most appropriate word to describe him.
In most cases, his decisions are reasonable, rational and correct, so there is nothing wrong with being obsessed with tactics. However, paranoid people have a shortcoming, that is, if the direction chosen at the beginning is wrong, they will also be obsessed with going down that path and not even realize that there is something wrong with their decision.
This is what happened to Tuberculosis now. The tactics thought out by the genius Zhu Shijiu were highly consistent with the tactics he himself had figured out, which meant that there was generally no problem with this tactic.
He did not trust Zhu Shijiu's judgment, but believed in his own decision.
After thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "The tactics can be executed!"
The other commanders were shocked by the decision made by the sickly ghost. The foodie commander was originally sitting at the workstation behind the sickly ghost eating snacks. When he heard what the sickly ghost said, he quickly turned around and said, "You, take it easy, are you sure you don't want to shirk responsibility?"
The sickly ghost sneered disdainfully: "Passing the buck? The premise of passing the buck is that my tactics will fail! But I believe my tactics are fine."
"… "
Everyone was speechless.
Damn, isn't this Zhu Shijiu's tactic? What are you talking about
They still didn't believe that things could be so coincidental. They even wanted the sick ghost to stop working and get some mental treatment. They thought that the sick ghost was now hypnotizing himself, hypnotizing a lie into the truth that even he believed.
It's not like similar things haven't happened before.
There was a commander who seemed to be doing fine before commanding a battle, but that battle ended in a disastrous defeat, resulting in the deaths of thousands of black soldiers, the collapse of the war zone he was responsible for, and a large-scale Zerg riot, which almost affected the defense lines of other defense bases.
Then, the commander, unable to accept this fact, subconsciously hypnotized himself in a mental breakdown, making himself think that the battle he commanded was a great victory and completely forgetting the disastrous result.
The end result was that the commander was sent to a mental hospital and has not been released yet.
It is normal for commanders to have mental problems under tremendous pressure.
The Smoker even considered calling the Man in White to come over and give the Tuberculosis Man a mental evaluation, but before he could make any move, the Tuberculosis Man took the lead in deploying the black soldiers.
Zhu Shijiu was watching very seriously from the side, because in the previous round, the sickly ghost only explained the tactics to him in theory but did not put them into practice, so he had to concentrate on memorizing them.
If something goes wrong later, you can review where the mistake was made.
Seeing that Zhu Shijiu was watching seriously, the sickly ghost began to actively explain the meaning of his various operations, partly in order to seek resonance between geniuses and partly to teach Zhu Shijiu.
This includes the means of dividing the troops, route selection, advance arrangements to deal with possible accidents... and backup plans that were not mentioned in the previous week!
"Although you have the same idea as me, this plan still has risks, so we should prepare a backup plan."
The sickly ghost was deploying the troops while making various marks on the map.
"The biggest risk of this plan is that if the twenty-eight teams inserted into the center are too prominent, they will be easily surrounded by the Zerg. Therefore, the two large forces on the outside need to play a leading role at the beginning, emitting pheromones to attract the attention of the Zerg, and then make temporary adjustments based on the actual situation. But now the black soldiers are already at the end of their strength. What if they fail to attract the Zerg?"
"What should we do then?" Zhu Shijiu asked.
The sick ghost slid his finger across the map, drawing a semicircle. "The large forces on both sides will make a detour from the side and merge into one! This way, even if their pheromone bursts are weak, they can still successfully attract the Zerg!"
Zhu Shijiu understood.
To put it bluntly, "what you lack in quality, you make up for in quantity." The two large forces combined into one will definitely attract the Zerg.
"In this way, the number of Zerg in the 28 squads surrounding the center can be reduced by at least 80%. They can take this opportunity to break out! After breaking out, they can go around from the rear and join the main force, and then retreat while fighting, return to the defense base, and stalemate with the Zerg."
This is the conservative backup plan.
The sickly ghost said: "But if we retreat, then this tactic will fail, and our people will be reduced by at least 20% for no reason^"
Next, Bing Laogui introduced to Zhu Shijiu in detail the various operations that needed to be paid attention to in this tactic.
After listening, Zhu Shijiu thought he had understood all the details of this tactical theory.
Of course, only in theory.
No one can predict what will actually happen, so the next step is actual combat.
The tubercular man spoke less.
He is just that kind of person. Once the battle begins, it will be difficult for him to care about other people and he will concentrate on commanding.
"The Southeastern Brigade will advance along Route A! The Northwestern Brigade is expected to advance along Route B in three minutes! The Central Squadron will disperse and insert from the marked routes..."
