"Now is not the time for a decisive battle with the Island Royal Navy," said Lieutenant General Andrew Wilson, former Commander-in-Chief of the navy, who was currently the Chief of Staff. He shook his head in dissent and argued,
"This clearly does not align with our plan. Quickly defeating the Islanders at this time is not in our best interest, as we still have to face an even stronger Germany.
Moreover, an Australasia that has defeated the Islanders and seized hegemony over the entire Pacific Ocean, would that be less of a threat to Britain and France than Germany?
In order not to worry our allies, we should continue playing with the Islanders for a bit longer."
Although both the Commander-in-Chief of the navy and the Chief of Staff hold the rank of Lieutenant General, there is still some difference in their status.
The military structure in Australasia is slightly different from other countries. As a monarchy, the military's primary loyalty naturally lies with Arthur.
