To be fair, the current outcome was the best that Ves could hope for. It was too much to expect fleeters to be more open-minded about the need to deviate from their existing rules and traditions.
The courage displayed by Fleet Admiral Stanley Argile and Admiral Chelsea Mieli was impressive. They openly defied a taboo and made a complete reversal on the subject of cultivation!
Ves understood why they were more willing to embrace change than others.
The Second Main Fleet fought the hardest battles and suffered the greatest attrition as a result.
If this pattern persisted, then it would inevitably get hollowed out as it became harder to replenish the losses of irreplaceable warships!
The Seventh Light Fleet not only understood the immediate enemies of red humanity a lot better, but completely lacked the heavy tonnage and firepower to resist any offensives.
