Chapter 221: Five Reasons for Zhao Kuo's Defeat
A total of 101 people attended the meeting, all of whom were high-ranking officials such as the marshals and legion commanders of the Suzaku Army, as well as logistics and garrison commanders, as well as the continent's lord Xuan Qi.
The theme of this meeting is to summarize and improve after this war, but there is also a need to criticize and educate the legion commanders who participated in the war. After all, the mistakes they made were too big!
When all the participating legion commanders arrived at the conference room, they all looked at the twelve legion commanders with complicated eyes.
They knew what the content of the meeting was just a guess. They didn't mock because this was a lesson learned from their past experiences. Perhaps they would face such a day in the future.
If that is the case, what qualifications do they have to laugh at them? And what mood do they have to laugh at themselves?
The commander of the 12th Legion also lowered his head in shame and dared not look at everyone. They knew what their fate would be.
The entire conference room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. No one spoke, not even a whisper. Everyone waited in silence.
At this moment, two majestic figures appeared on the two seats in the middle. They were the two persons in charge.
"I pay my respects to the Marshal and the City Lord."
"Sit down."
Dao San pressed his palm lightly, and everyone sat down one after another, sitting upright, like the good elementary school students who were serious in class.
"Okay, I have summoned all the generals at the level of legion commanders today. I'm sure you all know what this is about, so there's no need for me to beat around the bush."
"In the last war, I wanted to temper the army and give you the experience of fighting in a large-scale war, so I limited the strength of the evil tribe outside the domain so that they could win easily."
"But what I didn't expect was that the twelve legions, including Zhao Kuo, would fight like this, with more than half of them suffering casualties. This is the biggest loss in the history of my Super God Realm."
"Although they won in the end, this so-called victory brought shame to my entire Suzaku Army. It is simply a disgrace to our entire Suzaku Army."
“Although His Majesty the Emperor does not want to delve into this, the entire battle was broadcast live. It has been seen by everyone in the Super God Realm, and it has even spread to other realms, making our Super God Realm a laughing stock.”
"I called you here today not only to punish the twelve legion commanders who participated in the battle, but also to learn from the experience. Otherwise, you will not let things go so easily next time."
"Okay, that's all I have to say. Now let Zhao Kuo and the others talk about their views on this battle."
Dao San looked in the direction of Zhao Kuo and others, motioning him to come out and speak, and the others also looked at them.
Zhao Kuo and others were also extremely embarrassed, but he knew he couldn't escape it, so he could only stand up in disappointment.
"My Lord Marshal, Lord City Lord, and all my colleagues, the defeat in this battle is our fault. The twelve of us discussed it and summarized five main reasons."
"The first is to underestimate the enemy and be careless, that is, the mentality is not good enough."
"Because we advanced too fast in cultivation, we thought that everyone in the world was just like us, so we underestimated those people from the foreign evil tribes and looked down on those foreign evil tribe masters. As a result, all of our soldiers looked down on those evil tribe masters."
"Due to our contempt, we were completely unprepared and were ultimately severely damaged by their self-destruction. This was caused by the negligence of the legion commanders like me."
“The second reason is the lack of control over the military.”
"The cultivation of the soldiers in each of our legions has reached the high-level supreme realm or above. The fighting spirit condensed by the combat power of this army is enough to rival the peak level of the spiritual grade heavenly supreme."
"But we are only able to perform at the early or middle stage of the Spiritual Grade Heavenly Supreme, and only a few can perform at the late stage, especially me as a battlefield commander."
"With the combat power of a full twelve legions, it is enough to exert the combat power of the Immortal Grade Heavenly Supreme level, but I have only exerted it to the peak level of the Spiritual Grade Heavenly Supreme. I, Zhao Kuo, am unworthy of the Marshal's trust!"
"From this battle, we feel that we still have a lot of room for improvement. We need more practice and need to deepen our fighting spirit."
"The third reason is the unfamiliarity with fighting against enemies of the same level and the lack of experience in large-scale combat."
"In the past, we were responsible for clearing out enemies whose cultivation was lower than ours, so we naturally held a fork in our hands. But now, facing this kind of opponent, we still have to fight in a sweeping manner."
"Moreover, we have never fought against an equally powerful army, and our fighting style is still the same as before against those scattered soldiers. We don't know how to be flexible."
"Our thinking is rigid, our combat experience is very limited, our fighting methods are stereotyped, and our battlefield adaptability and innovation capabilities need to be greatly improved."
“The fourth reason is the lack of understanding of the psychology of both the enemy and ourselves.”
"We didn't consider the crazy reactions of these foreign evil tribes in desperate situations, nor did we consider their fearlessness of life and death. We also didn't expect that they would be willing to die for their tribe!"
"This kind of behavior of sacrificing oneself for the sake of the race is something our legion currently does not possess, so we did not expect that a strong person would self-destruct, and we did not expect that so many people would choose to die with us!"
"So we also studied the evil tribes outside the domain. According to what we know, they were all forced to come here by their superiors. They can be said to be abandoned people, but they would actually sacrifice themselves for such superiors."
"It seems that the love for the tribe of the Outer Realm is very strong. When you fight against them in the future, please be careful of the ambitions of the Outer Realm Evil Tribe. They will definitely have more people like this in order to annex this world."
"The fifth reason is the lack of coordination between the various legions."
"In this battle, we also advanced according to the formation we usually trained, but each legion basically fought on its own, with basically no so-called coordination."
"Without the coordination of the military formation, the twelve legions could not exert their full strength. Moreover, the lack of coordination between the legions gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage, resulting in cracks in the army one after another."
"Originally, the army could cooperate with each other and defend their own directions, but because one direction was dispersed, the other legions could not make up for it in time, resulting in the army's attack being frustrated!"
"Moreover, when the army was attacking, they did not cooperate or help the enemy's attack. They fought alone. Even if one legion's fighting spirit was broken, the other legions would not help."
"If it hadn't been confirmed that they were our army, I would have suspected that they were from other forces. This army has no friendship with us. We can't even say that they helped or cooperated in killing the enemy. Not being a drag is the least of our worries."
"The above five are the factors of failure that we have discussed. As for the other minor problems, we have recorded them on paper. Marshal, City Lord, and everyone else, please read them. If you have any questions, please enlighten me."
