"Lao Li, Lao Li ......"

The telecommunications officer, who rushed into the bridge of the commander's ship with a loud shout, was obviously startled when he saw Bai Zhizhan, and immediately stood on the spot.

Am I so terrible?

Bai Zhizhan was speechless, and took the initiative to walk towards the telecommunications officer.

"Commander, I ......"

"Give it to me."

The telecommunications officer came back to his senses violently, swallowed his saliva, and handed the clenched message to Bai Zhizhan.

He seems to be called Zhang Xiaohua, right?

Bai Zhizhan only nodded, did not talk to the telecommunications officer, put down the coffee cup casually, and caught the message.

After so many years, Bai Zhizhan still admires He Yongxing very much. What He Yongxing admires most is that he can remember everyone he has met, no matter how long it takes, he can call out each other's names when they meet again, as if they are close friends who have not met for many years, not passers-by who have only one side.

Bai Zhizhan was able to remember the telecommunications officer because he had met him several times, and because of the name that sounded very strange.

What kind of parents would name their sons "Little Flowers"?

Since I was a child, I was called "jokes" and "school flowers" by my playmates, classmates and friends, and I don't know how big the psychological shadow will be.

Of course, Bai Zhizhan felt that anyone's name was just a code name, and in this era, there were as many uneducated parents as there were.

When Bai Zhizhan was reading the message, Li Mingbo woke up.

Seeing the coffee cup in front of him, he didn't ask much, and took a sip and drank it all. Immediately afterwards, his whole face became distorted, his expression was extremely painful, and he must have regretted his death in his heart, and maybe he was still cursing secretly, because it was a cup of black coffee with three times the amount!

Not to mention that on this battleship, even in the entire fleet, there is only one person who can drink this kind of coffee that is more bitter than coptis water.

"Lao Bai, I said, you really should pay attention to it, don't put things in your hands, it's easy to get killed!"

Feelings, Li Mingbo drank Bai Zhizhan's coffee, or Bai Zhizhan's fault.

Bai Zhizhan didn't answer, turned around, and handed the message to Li Mingbo.

Seeing Bai Zhizhan's face and the telecommunications officer next to him, Li Mingbo realized that something was wrong, and he didn't complain anymore, and put down his coffee cup.

The latest intelligence sent by the command of the Navy.

In Changwai, in the western part of the Sagi mainland, a small army unit was loading ships, and it was assumed that it would leave the port on the night of the 25th, and by the early morning of the 26th at the latest.

According to intelligence agencies, the ground force's destination is the North and South Sadou Islands.

At most, there is only one division, with a strength of between 10,000 and 15,000 men, mainly infantry, and only a few dozen small-caliber mountain artillery.

In addition, there is a lot of engineering equipment waiting to be loaded in the port.

If the convoy departs on the night of the 25th, it will be able to reach the Watchman Strait as soon as the afternoon of the 27th, and will be able to land on the north side of the strait and on the south side of the strait on the same night. Although there is no way to blockade the strait with this small number of troops, it will pose a threat to ships passing through the strait.

Crucially, this is absolutely intolerable military occupation.

Don't forget, before the end of the last war, to be precise, before the Seba Peace Conference, the armistice agreement signed between the Liangxia Empire and the alliance group clearly stipulated that the North and South Sadou Islands were demilitarized zones, and both sides were not allowed to send troops to station after the armistice. Then, during the Sepa Peace Conference, the jurisdiction of the North and South Sabean Islands was clearly defined, and it was entrusted to the League of Nations, and after the expiration of the forty-nine-year trusteeship, it was up to the local population to decide whether to establish a state or belong to a country.

Inside, there is a very important point.

Until then, the North and South Sadou Islands were still legally subordinate to the Liangxia Empire, and were the only overseas territories retained by the Liangxia Empire after the Great War.

From a strategic point of view, the North and South Sadou Islands are not only the last barrier of the empire mainland in the direction of the Guia Ocean, but also a springboard for the Guia Ocean and the world.

When it comes to value, it's more than the sum of other overseas territories combined!

It is precisely because of this that the Empire refuses to give up the North and South Sabean Islands even though it has abandoned almost all its overseas territories.

In addition, the North and South Popper Islands were also the first overseas territories to be captured with guns when the empire began to expand outward in the process of its rise.

It was from here that the Liangxia Empire stepped to the top of the world step by step.

In the words of Tang Zude, the first assistant at the time, it was about the dignity of the empire.

Now the "dignity" of the empire is about to be violated.

The telegram made it very clear that it was necessary to ensure that the Watchman Strait was unimpeded, that every effort should be made to prevent the Sabean army from invading and occupying the islands in the north and south, and that a way should be found to completely annihilate the permanent fleet of the Sadou.

"What are you doing here?"

"What do you say?"

Li Mingbo was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly. "Lao Bai, you have what you say. If I could figure it out, would I still be just a seafaring officer? ”

In fact, Li Mingbo's biggest advantage is that he is self-aware.

Because he is not from a formal professional class, and he is still recommended by Bai Zhizhan, in front of Bai Zhizhan, Li Mingbo will never show off his smart talent.

At this time, Bai Zhizhan had calmed down.

"If you want me to say, this is in the sound of the east."

"Vivid?"

Bai Zhizhan rolled his eyes and said: "The 'Shengdong' that strikes the east and the west, and this 'hits the west', it must be the permanent fleet that is holding the head of the rat." ”

"Gao Ye is not dead yet, and plans to fight us to the death?" Li Mingbo scratched his scalp, still half-understood.

"Lao Li, it's just a metaphor!"

"Metaphor what?"

Bai Zhizhan was completely speechless, ignored Li Mingbo, who was still confused, and turned around and walked towards the chart table placed in the center of the bridge.

Compared with the "Longjiang" class, the "Imperial Capital" class was replaced by a traditional chart table because the bridge was more spacious.

Obviously, when making this adjustment, the engineers of the ship design institute certainly did not ask the opinions of the officers and men of the navy, especially the commander of the task force. For Bai Zhizhan, who is used to standing and looking at the picture board, it is uncomfortable to bend over and bury his head, mainly because he is prone to low back pain after a long time.

Of course, with the chart table, you can place and adjust various icons more freely.

When the battlefield situation is more complicated, the use of chart tables, to be precise, rich icons, can give commanders a clear view of the overall situation. When it comes to rigorous logical reasoning, using intuitive icons is certainly easier and more convenient than doing tedious graphical work.

After looking at it for a while, Bai Zhizhan nodded slightly, and at the same time showed a hint of a smile.

"Figured it out?"

Bai Zhizhan raised his head and saw the coffee cup handed to him, which contained fragrant black coffee, and then nodded at Li Mingbo.

This is what Li Mingbo asked his staff officer to get, and he grinds black coffee.

In addition, Bai Zhizhan had been standing next to the chart table for a long time, so long that the orderly soldiers could calmly boil the freshly ground coffee.

"Lao Li, where do you think those four turtle speed battleships will be?" After tasting it, Bai Zhizhan put down the coffee cup. It tasted good, just a little hot.

"Do you need to ask?"

"So, where do you go next?"

"This ......" Li Mingbo didn't know how to pretend to understand, Bai Zhizhan asked more, and he was exposed.

Bai Zhizhan smiled, but did not continue, and began to drink coffee like tea, as if it was a cup of elixir jade dew stolen from the queen mother's peach banquet.

It's a good sign.
