Strategy Meeting

"Gentlemen thank you for coming to this place and also thank you for your contribution to the battle today!" Admiral Frank Jack Fletcher welcomed the arrival of several soldiers summoned by the Commander or rather Admiral Thomas C. Kinkaid.

Not only are these two important figures currently in the strategy room but there is also the Great General Douglas MacArthur.

Vice Admiral Sir John Gregory Crace, who led the Australian-American support force in task force 44 at the Battle of the Coral Sea, was also present.

Admiral Aubrey Wray Fitch, who will command the Lexington aircraft carrier, was seen taking part in the meeting to discuss the war strategy tomorrow.

Seeing the presence of the military officials in one room with them made some of the pilots of the aircraft called to be a little nervous and happy Nathan was no exception.

But although Nathan was visibly excited at the meeting this time, he was also concerned when he looked towards Admiral Aubrey where the aircraft carrier he commanded would be retired tomorrow.

It feels like Nathan told the events that will happen tomorrow to all the officials there, but Nathan chose to undo his intention so that history can run as it should.

The meeting to discuss the war strategy that esko will use days later immediately began. The atmosphere in the room is now filled with many debates between leaders.

It was only natural that they were at odds with each other because of the initial strategy used to stop the movement in strengthening the defensive position of the Imperial Japanese Territory in the South Pacific.

The Japanese planned to invade and occupy Port Moresby in New Guinea and Tulagi in the southeastern Solomon Islands.

However, the Allied fleet was smaller than the Imperial Japanese Fleet. This is what makes the allies quite difficult yet coupled with the brave troops died on the part of the Japanese.

Amidst a conversation that has yet to find a bright spot to determine tomorrow's war strategy, Admiral Frank Jack Fletcher looks towards a young pilot brought in by Commander Thomas before.

"Young pilot, do you have any suggestions for strategies this time?" Admiral Frank tries to see and test the thoughts of a young pilot who became a hero in the first day of Battle.

Other officials who heard the words of Admiral Frank were astonished, asking this kind of question to a young pilot who was not experienced enough.

The Great General Douglas was one of those who doubted that the young pilot was able to give them reasonable advice.

Indeed not many know about the action of the young pilots in the battle today, because too many warplanes are participating in the war and make it difficult for them to distinguish.

Only a few people knew about it, such as Admiral Frank, who himself was the leader of the Yorktown Mothership and saw firsthand how one of its pilots sank a Japanese aircraft carrier.

"Admiral Frank please don't joke, our current condition is really precarious. Why are you asking a young pilot for advice, is he contributing enough?" The Great General Douglas looked doubtful.

Admiral Frank laughed at that. "Young pilot, you can explain your actions today and can give advice for tomorrow's battle!"

The young pilot referred to by Admiral Frank and other top military officers was none other than Nathan. Now he became very nervous because he was asked for advice by a World War II legend.

Although initially hesitant to say but Nathan tried so that he could answer the wishes of one of the military officials.

"Just get to the point, what are your contributions in today's battle!" The great general Douglas seemed impatient because he felt it was useless to ask a young, inexperienced pilot.

Looking at the temperament of the great General Douglas, Nathan could only clench his hands and understand the attitude of the General who wanted to move quickly.

"Not much... Just sank one light aircraft carrier Shoho and fifteen fighter planes!" Nathan responded casually.

The top military brass, the great General Douglas, heard in shock, knowing that the young pilot had sunk a Japanese aircraft carrier and downed fifteen fighter planes.

Nathan, who saw some of the higher-ups being stunned, shook his ship, and began to give advice for the strategy to be used tomorrow.

"I can only suggest destroying the Japanese air cover and damaging some of their small high-speed wars.

If allowed I want to lead ten fighters equipped with one torpedo and one bomb to damage one of their aircraft carriers, Shokako.

By disabling their air defenses I can confirm that the Japanese Fleet will choose to withdraw. That's all the advice I can give you..." Nathan explained his thoughts.

Hearing Nathan's advice, the higher-ups were impressed by his thoughts. The higher-ups then conferred on the advice given by Nathan even though the idea was very risky.

After deliberating the higher-ups have now decided. "Well, you're allowed to command ten fighter planes, but you know not to release a torpedo you have to get close enough to their ship and it's very dangerous?"

Nathan nodded with confidence that the plan he proposed would run smoothly although it did not rule out the possibility of casualties from his side.

Eventually Nathan's plan was approved and then the strategy meeting resumed for several hours before one by one the higher-ups began to leave the room.

When Nathan was about to return to the room he was stopped by Admiral Frank. "Please stop for a moment, there's something I want to talk to you about with four eyes!"

"Is there anything I can help you with, Admiral?" Nathan asked without diminishing his respect for the man before him.

Admiral Frank puts his hat on the table and looks at Nathan. "Don't be too formal, be casual because now I'm just acting as a father to his daughter... Sit down..."

Nathan becomes nervous as Admiral Frank seems to want to discuss something related to Dr. Emilia.

Nathan sat across from Admiral Frank and cold sweat began to wash over his forehead. 'Did he report me to his father because of the previous thing... Shit I shouldn't have gotten carried away by then!'

Admiral Frank propped up his chin with both hands folded and looked into Nathan's eyes which now looked riled up.

"Do you have a special relationship with my daughter?" Admiral Frank immediately floated to the point and clearly the tone of speech he used as if making Nathan's body like pierced by a sharp sword.
