Chapter 298 - 214: Competition s
“We suggest that Captain Camp abandon rebuilding and choose to join one of our vertical formations as deputy commander, including my Caesar Vertical Team or even Captain Felix Yeoman’s Gale Vertical Team.”
Gaius pointed to himself and then to another Chinese woman.
The Caesar Vertical Team and Gale Vertical Team are currently the largest-scale and strongest vertical formations on Mars.
They each have about 1.5 million members, with nearly 50,000 Eagle Strike Warriors.
Such an invitation is truly sincere.
Even Harrison Clark, who was observing secretly, thought it was a good idea and convincing.
But Harrison Clark knew that Nora Camp would definitely not agree.
She was just such a person, seemingly affable but extremely stubborn.
No one here understood Nora Camp better than Harrison Clark.
“No need. One of the principles of resource optimization is to apply the least amount of force for the maximum battlefield utility. Many factors can determine a commander’s performance in the field, one of which is will. My will cannot be shaken.”
“Giant Wave Vertical Team is not just my team, but also the team of my more than 10,000 fallen comrades! I know you’re going to say that everyone has witnessed or experienced such sacrifices, but people’s situations are different. You are you, I am me. I will never give up my position, otherwise I would be sorry for my comrades. Besides, pardon my frankness, none of you here are qualified to have me as your assistant!”
“In the past six years, I, Nora Camp, have reversed the situation of the Halo Campaign, and this time I have snatched back the technology chips of the Gravitational wave field and Pseudo-Curvature Engine from under radium’s eyelids. I have the most outstanding achievements, and I only trust in my own abilities, so I will not be anyone’s assistant! Are you underestimating my command ability?”
The meeting room was silent.
Gaius and others looked at each other with bitter smiles on their faces.
Even though Needham Brown had warned them earlier, they still found Nora hard to deal with.
They knew this would happen, but Nora was a tough nut to crack.
In fact, these people didn’t mean to look down on Nora Camp, nor did anyone dare, just that everyone had their own persistence and obsession.
Compared to reasoning with Nora Camp in the conference room, they would rather lead soldiers to war, feeling more justified even if they died on the battlefield.
Harrison Clark watched it all and recollected some current era intelligence, sighing for a moment.
Compared to the past several timelines, when the World Government alone was dominant, the competition consciousness within the Freedom Front Alliance is now strong!
This is the inevitable ideological result of a loose alliance under a common goal.
The Freedom Front is strange, both united and divided.
If necessary, a Vertical Formation can unhesitatingly support another Vertical Formation, even at the cost of sacrifice.
But the sense of competition between them in normal times is so strong.
This cannot be called selfish, just that everyone has different judgments.
Although Nora Camp’s surprise attack plan was successful, the Freedom Front paid a heavy price for it.
Nora Camp had outstanding achievements but had lost almost all her elite fighters and needed to prove herself again, which required reallocating resources from others.
The situation has now become deadlock on the negotiating table.
Harrison Clark knew that these commanders meant no harm, and their concerns were not unreasonable.
From Nora Camp’s combat style, one can see that she is impetuous, likes to use tactics, and doesn’t care about the consequences.
Under normal circumstances, such a person would not be suitable for being on top, but would be most suitable as a deputy.
But this also shows that the other Vertical Formation leaders don’t have enough insight.
For example, Harrison Clark was very aware that Nora Camp could absolutely be the commander-in-chief of a joint force, if only she were older and more experienced.
Nora Camp’s command style is well suited to deal with the invincible Compound Eye Invaders.
Although she would still be unable to win, she should be able to see more valuable information.
Harrison Clark sighed secretly. Compared to my experience, all of you are too naive.
After a brief silence in the conference room, Captain Felix Yeoman stood up and said, “Captain Camp, let’s suspend the internal meeting for now. We will call for an expanded meeting with other Vertical Formation leaders on different planets to discuss the Giant Wave Vertical Team rebuilding issue more broadly. We will give you a clear reply within ten minutes. What do you think?”
Nora Camp nodded, “All right, I’ll step out for now..”
