When he came out of the Shoufu Mansion, Bai Zhizhan found that Zhao Yu had not left and was waiting for him outside.

Because he was going to leave early tomorrow morning, Bai Zhizhan did not go home and took Zhao Yu to the hotel of the naval headquarters.

In addition, it is to find the hotel manager and arrange for the chef to prepare a supper.

Bai Zhizhan knew the reason why Zhao Yu stayed, so when he was having supper, he told him the news revealed by Xue Yuanzheng.

Fortunately, Zhao Yu didn't fight with Bai Zhizhan seriously.

After hearing that the construction of the "Yihua" class battleships of the Newland Federation had begun, he also understood, so he didn't drill the horns again.

Not to mention whether the battleship was valuable or not, or how much it was worth.

Since the Nuland Navy was building post-treaty battleships, the Imperial Navy must not be able to watch the excitement.

There is an unwritten rule in the construction of warships in the Navy: as long as the number one opponent has them, regardless of whether they are valuable or not, they must build several ships.

This is precisely where the root of the "naval arms race" lies.

Of course, this also means that the construction of the next type of large aircraft carrier will definitely be affected, and at least the number of the first batch of construction will not reach 8.

After talking about some things related to the battleship, he talked about Bai Zhizhan going to the front line of the Toe Peninsula.

"There's no need for that, is it?"

"Brother Zhao, don't you think that the imperial capital is not suitable for people like us?"

"You're ......"

Bai Zhizhan smiled bitterly and shook his head, before he said: "I didn't succeed in a sneak attack on Wei Island, and the Sai Island, which I thought I could easily take, became a battlefield of blood and fire, and the entire strategic plan was impacted. Don't look at the navy in Nanzhu and the army fighting smoothly on the Toe Peninsula, and the overall strategic situation now, we are in a very dangerous situation. According to the information revealed by Shousuke, the Royal Navy of Bran will soon increase the number of troops in Van Yanyang. If the news revealed by Zheng Jiangming before this was not false, the Nuland Navy might have sent warships to Fanyanyang. Fundamentally, the enemy wants to block us so that we don't have access to Posha Gulf's oil, and we will be defeated by the end of next year. ”

"This ......"

Zhao Yu showed a very shocked look, he was a typical engineering man, don't look at the design of several kinds of capital ships, but he didn't know anything about strategy.

"There must be a strategic plan to be adjusted, and there must be a lot of trouble. I originally thought that Shoufu would pour bitter water and let me do work for Liu Changxun. ”

"What kind of work do you give him?"

"To adjust the strategy, the first thing to be affected is the army, especially in the north-western direction. If Shousuke intends to force a new plan, then the support of the Navy will definitely be needed. The best way for the Navy to provide support is to compromise with the Army at the strategic level. To put it more bluntly, building a few less capital ships will save enough resources for the army to build thousands of tanks. ”

"That's what Shousuke told you?"

"If I have to say it, I won't be so worried."

"Didn't say that?"

Bai Zhizhan nodded and said, "Shoufu didn't mention anything about the northwest side at all. If I'm not mistaken, there must be a lot of opposition within the army, maybe there are still people who are secretly playing tricks, and it is aimed at Shousuke, after all, attacking the caves can also solve the oil problem. ”

Zhao Yu was stunned again, but this time he couldn't help but say nothing.

"Shousuke promised to let me go to Yanhai, in fact, to avoid suspicion, so as not to get involved in the upcoming dispute."

"It's just your guess."

"Even if it's a guess, it's nine out of ten, and it's by no means groundless."

Zhao Yu sighed secretly, and then said: "Your relationship with Lian Xusheng is so iron, and he has always been in charge of the battle in the northwest, why don't you ask him?" ”

"He's back to the imperial capital?"

"How do I know, just a phone call?"

Bai Zhizhan patted his head and smiled embarrassedly.

Obviously, he was concerned about it.

Besides, if Bai Zhizhan's guess was correct, Lian Xusheng would definitely want to find out the news of the navy from him.

Because Bai Zhizhan and Zhao Yu had just returned to the imperial capital, they went directly to the official residence of the first assistant, and then came to the hotel, but they did not go home, so even if Lian Xusheng had returned to the imperial capital, he might not know that Bai Zhizhan had returned. Even if he heard the news, he would call Bai Zhizhan's house.

After Zhao Yu reminded him, Bai Zhizhan immediately went to call.

Sure enough, Lian Xusheng was in the imperial capital and only rushed back a few days ago.

Because the Luosha Empire was against the water, Lian Xusheng did not go to the Manman Empire according to the previous arrangement, but sent a subordinate to the Manman Empire through the Republic of There.

Since then, he has been active in the Northwest.

It was precisely because of this that Situ Jingde returned to the imperial capital from the northwest ahead of schedule.

Obviously, if there is no important matter, Lian Xusheng has no reason to rush back.

After receiving a call from Bai Zhizhan and learning that Bai Zhizhan had not returned home and was staying at the hotel of the Navy Headquarters, he did not say much and said that he would come immediately.

A lot of things can only be said in person.

Although it was an internal phone of the military, there was no guarantee that the operator would not eavesdrop.

Besides, the operators in the imperial telephone system are actually all from the Fifth Bureau, and all of them have been trained in counterintelligence and intelligence security.

These operators are all intelligence officers.

If you want to say it, Lian Xusheng's return to the imperial capital is tantamount to proving Bai Zhizhan's speculation.

It may not be the Army that has gone wrong.

The current emperor can be said to have an undercurrent, and a year after the outbreak of the Great War, Xue Yuanzheng's command was questioned, and something big must have happened in the near future.

Although his mood was relatively heavy, thinking that Lian Xusheng was about to come over, Bai Zhizhan still went to find the manager of the hotel, bought a few bottles of good wine out of his own pocket, asked the chef to make a few small stir-fried dishes with a heavy taste, and prepared a few snacks that are usually used for wine.

When the waiter brought the wine and food, Lian Xusheng also arrived.

He came in his own car.

Probably not wanting to be recognized, he put an unmarked coat over his military uniform. If it weren't for Bai Zhizhan who greeted the hotel manager in advance, and the manager knew the number one general of the army, he wouldn't have been sure that the guards guarding the door would have taken him for an enemy spy.

After entering the room where Bai Zhizhan lived, he took off his coat and revealed Lushan's true face.

Seeing this situation, Bai Zhizhan told the hotel manager who brought Lian Xusheng over.

The manager is a good person, and he knows how to be sophisticated, and after Bai Zhizhan hinted, he said that he would never say anything about Lian Xusheng's visit.

It's just that Lian Xusheng's mysterious appearance made Bai Zhizhan feel even more up.

In his understanding, Lian Xusheng has always been above board, the kind of tough guy who will not avoid even if he is beaten, and will never do dirty things.

He wouldn't have been so cautious if it weren't particularly important.

Of course, it's not wrong to say it's sneaky.

If you want to say it, if the person who came was Wang Kaiyuan, Bai Zhizhan would definitely not feel strange, after all, that guy has always come and gone without a trace.

When he saw Zhao Yu, Lian Xusheng was also surprised.

However, he immediately understood why Bai Zhizhan did not go home, but spent the night in the hotel.

In addition, he also knew what the relationship between Bai Zhizhan and Zhao Yu was.

What Bai Zhizhan didn't expect was that it was only five minutes late, and Li Yunxiang rushed over.

It must have been Lian Xusheng's call to Li Yunxiang, asking Li Yunxiang to come directly to the hotel, and did not call Bai Zhizhan before leaving.

Even Li Yunxiang is back, it seems that something big is really going to happen in the imperial capital.
