Chapter 77: | 077 | The Awaited Talks
In the northern sea region between Crescere and Terra, UNS Marina and UNS Light Bringer sailed together on the high seas heading towards the designated location for the diplomatic talks.
It has been three days since the second contact was made. Abraham and Charlotte made preparation for the diplomatic talks, mostly aimed towards dealing with whatever sh*t their adversaries were trying to cook.
Abraham wanted to talk with the commanding officer of the other side himself but was dissuaded by his high officers. While he wasn't willing to give up becoming part of the talks, Charlotte fully dissuaded him with a cite.
She said that as the Fleet Admiral of the United Navy. Abraham had a position and power that shouldn't be used everywhere. His actions had an influence on the United Navy.
If something does happen to him, the United Navy will declare war without hesitation and delay. They would absolutely decimate without mercy unleashing whatever armaments they held in their arsenal.
Even If their adversaries decided to pursue peace, the United Navy would probably not accept it.
With this in mind, Abraham had to take a step back from the diplomatic talks and let Charlotte handle it instead. According to some high officers, he also shouldn't lower himself for some random commanding officer of an enemy fleet.
It was also the job of diplomatic officers to be in the diplomatic talks, not his.
These various arguments completely dissuaded him from entering the diplomatic talks, though that didn't mean he gave up. He would instead command the Red Fleet and his UNS Trinity of Solace in case the adversary decided to use force.
The preparation for the diplomatic talks was heavy. Various Anti-Magus Guns, or Anzio 20mm Vulcan were boarded into the frigates. They would be used to counter Magus or War Masters in enemy ships.
Various MMLs(Multi-Mission Launchers) were also pointed towards the designated location of the diplomatic talks. When sh*t hits the fan. They would be expected to blow every enemy in that general direction.
Other than this, there was also the combined defensive fleet or the Aegis Fleet for short. It was a strategic formation used when two or more fleets were called upon to integrate one another.
"Vice Admiral, our adversaries have appeared on the horizon." Following the intelligence officer's words, Charlotte looked at the monitor screen and saw several large battleships.
Their size wasn't to be underestimated as each ship had a mass of over 100 meters, which was fairly massive even by the standards of the United Navy.
The Vice Admiral raised an eyebrow as seeing their enormous size personally was quite astounding. Such giant wooden ships that shouldn't have been possible in their former world.
It sailed before them.
"It seems that the diplomatic talks have begun," Charlotte mumbled while furrowing her eyebrows. She hoped that the diplomatic talks would go well, but it was merely hope.
She needed to be realistic and ready for what could happen.
Meanwhile, in the leading battleship of the Fleet Principatus Humanum, Everlasting Sun. Captain Stolz stood before its bow while a smirk plastered on his face. He observed the metallic warships in the distance and remarked.
"So they are the hidden force in this sea, huh? I was expecting a fleet to meet us. Not two ships." He lightly chuckled but was interrupted by a rough voice behind him.
"You shouldn't underestimate them, Captain Stolz. Their capabilities are unknown to us. It's better to tread with cautiousness." War Master Theodore remarked with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Their capabilities or power doesn't matter. We already have orders from the top. The Sovereigns want them dead and their technology to be recovered." Captain Stolz squinted his eyes.
While he respected the War Master who was with him for years, he still had orders that he needed to follow.
"I am merely warning you."
"This United Navy isn't to be underestimated." Theodore sighed while staring at the two metallic warships.
