The scruples of the White Stop War soon became a reality.

In the evening, before it was completely dark, that is, it was dinner time, the communications staff officer sent the telegram he had just received.

A telegram order from the command of the Navy.

The 11th Task Force was on standby in the waters near Socotra Island, ready to cover the marines' attack on the Kibu fortress and open up a route into the narrow sea.

The detachment of minesweepers deployed in Colombo has departed and is expected to arrive three days late.

In addition, the 12th Task Force still went to the northeast Fanyan Ocean to carry out its mission as previously arranged.

These adjustments were all expected in the White Stop.

In the afternoon, after discussing with Li Mingbo, Bai Zhizhan asked the accompanying "Qinling" to send a telegram to the 12th Task Force.

said that it was to solicit Liu Xiangzhen's opinion, but in fact, it was to use this method to tell Liu Xiangzhen that the situation might change.

Sending a fleet to the northeast Fanyan Ocean is mostly a false shot, and the real purpose is to storm the Kibu fortress in advance, and at least let a task force stay in Muahai.

Then I received a call back from the "Kunlun".

Liu Xiangzhen made a similar judgment, but the starting point was not quite the same as Bai Zhizhan. He felt that he was luring the snake out of the hole, making Sp feel that now was a great opportunity to sneak up on the Imperial Navy's task force, so he could lead the fleet north and attack the Imperial fleet operating in the Arafura Sea.

For this reason, Liu Xiangzhen proposed that if he scored troops, he was willing to go to Fanyanyang in the Northeast.

This proposal was also expected in the White Stop.

Although Bai Zhizhan didn't think that this was to lure the snake out of the hole, he had long thought that if he needed to send a fleet over, Liu Xiangzhen would actively fight for it.

The reason is the same: only by annihilating the Nuland fleet commanded by Sp can Liu Xiangzhen prove that he is no worse than Bai Zhizhan.

Let Bai stop the war and annihilate the last aircraft carrier fleet of the Nuland Navy, Liu Xiangzhen will never want to become the number one cadre of the Imperial Navy.

To put it seriously, if he misses this opportunity and lets it fall into the hands of other fleet commanders, Liu Xiangzhen may not even be able to maintain the status of "No. 2 Cadre".

Don't forget, several fleet commanders who followed Bai Zhizhan to the east and west, such as Wei Jun and Li Jie, have all accumulated enough combat exploits, and the gap with Liu Xiangzhen is not obvious. Especially the Wei Army, if he fights another war of annihilation, he is very sure to surpass Liu Xiangzhen.

There is no doubt that Liu Xiangzhen must have sent a telegram to the naval command.

Of course, this is also expected in the White Stop.

As such, Task Force 11 slowed down in the afternoon, distanced itself from Task Force 12, and sent a final telegram at about 5 o'clock to report its whereabouts to the Naval Command, and then went into radio silence without any further signals.

In Li Mingbo's words, this move is fulfilling Liu Xiangzhen.

However, the White Stop War also has its own considerations.

The point is that the existence of the "Qinling" and the "Kunlun" is no longer a secret, and it is not a secret that Bai Zhizhan commanded the 11th Task Force.

In this way, if it was the 11th Task Force that went to the Northeast Fanyanyang, it might scare Spu away.

According to the information provided by the Sixth Bureau, the Nuland Navy had already designated the White Stop War as an "invincible" opponent, and Nyz personally ordered a ban on fighting the White Stop War.

Liu Xiangzhen, obviously not so eye-catching.

Sending the Twelfth Task Force over would convince Us that the opportunity had come, and that he would be determined to lead the fleet into battle.

Of course, the next thing to do is to see Liu Xiangzhen's performance.

So, does Liu Xiang really have what it takes to beat Sp?

If I want to say, Bai Zhizhan does have such concerns.

Before sending a telegram to the Navy Headquarters in the afternoon, Bai Zhizhan also considered whether to exchange positions with Liu Xiangzhen, that is, he would go to the "Fujian" to command the 12th Task Force, and Liu Xiangzhen would come to the "Pu" to command the 11th Task Force, so as to ensure that the combat operation was foolproof.

At that time, Li Mingbo felt that he should be cheeky to find Liu Changxun and let Liu Changxun give an order directly.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Bai Zhizhan finally gave up this idea.

For the same reason, Liu Xiangzhen will not agree, and Liu Changxun may not be willing to be a villain.

As for the worries, you can look at them from another angle.

Liu Xiangzhen has 2 large aircraft carriers in his hands, and they are targeted. Spu has only 3 small aircraft carriers at most, and it may not be for Liu Xiangzhen.

In other words, it is very likely that Sp is heading for the other 2 task forces.

Then, even if Liu Xiangzhen didn't seize the opportunity, he might not be attacked by Sp.

In addition, the commander of the 21st Task Force is the Guard, and he also coordinates and commands the 41st Task Force.

Although the Wei army was far from reaching the height of the White Stop War, he also learned a lot from the White War to fight all over the world, especially the adventurous spirit.

Prior to becoming the commander of the task force, the Guards had been the vanguard of the White Stop.

In several decisive naval battles commanded by Bai Zhizhan, he rushed to the front, and made great contributions, and also received a lot of promotion opportunities.

In a sense, the Guards are the most representative young commanders who emerged from the Great War.

The key is that the guards rely on ability, not relationship.

At the outbreak of the Great War, he was nothing more than the captain of a cruiser, and because of good luck, he temporarily served as the commander of the detachment and successfully completed the combat mission.

So, will the Guards miss their chance to take out Sp?

If I had to say, Wei Jun was more eager for victory than Liu Xiangzhen.

The reason for this is simple: a few months earlier, at the Battle of Galapagos, the Guards had been tasked with leading the 22nd Task Force to fight back and stand by south of the Transit Island, waiting for the arrival of the fleet led by Sp before striking a thunderous blow.

Under the circumstances, if Spark had not turned back in Samoa, he would have been wiped out within three days.

Even if he prepared in advance and strengthened his precautions, it would be impossible for Sp to withstand an attack launched by two large aircraft carriers with two small aircraft carriers.

What's more, in the fleet of Sp at that time, there were not many carrier-based fighters.

All in all, because the task force commanded by Hal was destroyed at the Battle of the Galapagos, Sp gave up the idea of returning to Jumbo Harbor and gave the order to turn back to the south-west and look at the sea, and the defenders missed the opportunity to perform a miracle.

If it is another result, I am afraid that it will not be Liu Xiangzhen's turn to command the 12th task force at all.

Now, the opportunity to take out Sp has reappeared, and the Guards will miss it?

It was impossible for Liu Xiangzhen not to know that Wei Jun was already the third person in the Imperial Navy, so he would not miss the opportunity to annihilate the Sp fleet.

With competition, everything is easy to say.

According to Bai Zhizhan's understanding, Liu Xiangzhen is the kind of person who will be motivated when he is under pressure, and under pressure, he tends to behave more proactively.

Without pressure, Liu Xiangzhen will behave more conservatively.

If you want to say it, Liu Xiangzhen was put aside by Bai Zhizhan because of his lack of initiative.

As for the guards, he is a well-known "desperate Saburo" who never lacks motivation.

It was precisely in this way that Bai Zhizhan chose to give up, leaving the opportunity to make a feat to the two rivals.

It's not that the war is noble, but the current situation, if only a task force can be sent to support the marines in storming the Kib fortress.

Then, it must be the 11th Task Force!
