Lian Xusheng didn't stay, and after seeing Bai Zhizhan, he took a plane to Songkhla.

The front headquarters of the ground forces of the army is located in Songkhla, not because it is close to the battlefield, but because there were army officers and soldiers who had caused trouble in the capital of the Daiman kingdom before, which had a very bad impact. Xue Yuanzheng was furious, not only punished several of the chief officials involved, but also forbade the army combat troops to go to the capital of the Daiman Kingdom to rest.

There is still half a month left, even if the main force has already been deployed in place, for Lian Xusheng, who has just taken office, this time is not enough.

The main thing is that this is Lian Xusheng's first time to the Toe Peninsula.

Otherwise, Li Yunxiang would not have been allowed to go along.

In terms of geographical scope, the Toe Peninsula also belongs to the southwest region, which is divided into the southwest theater of the imperial army, and Li Yunxiang originally served in the southwest theater.

During the last war, he was the number one ace pilot in the Southwestern Theater of Operations, from which he became famous.

Sending Lian Xusheng away, on the way to his residence, Li Yunxiang said a very important thing.

The Sixth Bureau has obtained extremely reliable information, and the Royal Navy of Bran will take action in Lu Xinhai and deal with the Raleigh fleet and the Locke fleet at the same time.

A few months earlier, the Sixth Bureau had provided similar intelligence.

Shortly after the defeat of the Republic of Locke, the Royal Navy's Continental Sea Fleet split in two, with nearly half of its capital ships heading for Alexandria.

Wang Kaiyuan deduced from this abnormal move that in order to maintain Lu Xinhai's supremacy, the possibility of a decisive action by the Royal Navy of Bran could not be ruled out.

The point is that the Bran Kingdom cannot afford to be cut off from the Luxin Sea route.

The so-called "decisive action" is to take the initiative to attack the Locke fleet and the Raleigh fleet, and if necessary, even choose to go to war without declaring it.

In Lu Xinhai, there are only these two fleets that pose a threat to the Royal Navy of Bran.

It is a pity that Wang Kaiyuan's warning was not heeded by the top.

The reason is also simple, the Raleigh Kingdom did not show any intention of joining the Entente at that time, and preferred to maintain friendly relations with the Alliance.

Prior to the defeat of the Locke Republic, the Kingdom of Raleigh had been in contact with the Newland Federation and the Kingdom of Bran.

Even after the defeat of the Republic of Locke, the Kingdom of Raleigh tended to be neutral.

If it weren't for the fact that the Rimman Empire temporarily abandoned its plan to attack the Bran Kingdom and turned its focus to the south, the Raleigh Kingdom might not have chosen to take sides.

"Before leaving, Wang Kaiyuan also called me specifically and asked me to tell you that the commander of the home fleet must be Vice Admiral Saville."

"Not Cunningham?"

Li Yunxiang nodded and said, "There is no definite information for the time being, but a few days ago, Cunningham flew from Luntai City to Alexandria. According to Wang Kaiyuan's analysis, if these have already been arranged, there is no reason for him to waste time flying back to Alexandria. ”

Bai Zhizhan didn't say a word, of course he understood this truth.

He also said that a report would be sent as soon as there was definite information.

"So, I'm afraid that's true."

Li Yunxiang smiled bitterly and sighed, even Bai Zhizhan said this, he didn't bother to talk about it.

Although the Royal Navy of Bran was never regarded as the number one enemy, before the war, the Imperial Navy still spent a lot of effort to obtain the personal information of the main admirals of the Royal Navy of Bran, analyzed the opponents that might be encountered, and compiled materials and distributed them to commanders at all levels.

Among the many generals of the Royal Navy in Bran, the most noteworthy is Cunningham.

Before Spu became famous, Bai Zhizhan once believed that Cunningham was the only general among all opponents who could match or even surpass Takano.

Crucially, Cunningham was a pioneer in aviation for the Royal Navy.

Shortly after the end of the last war, Cunningham took the lead in proposing aircraft carriers as the core to build an air fleet dominated by carrier-based aircraft.

Unfortunately, at the time this was absolutely heretical.

As a result, he was not assigned to the Lu Xinhai Fleet, which was far away from the mainland, and stayed for more than ten years.

It's just that this has made him in turn.

Since then, in the expansion war of the Raleigh Kingdom in the eastern plateau of the Xuan Continent, as well as the civil war of the Siban Kingdom, the aviation force has been well realized. Especially in the civil war of the Kingdom of Spane, the aviation force was a well-deserved main force, and played a huge role that no other branch of the armed forces could replace.

It is this civil war that gave birth to the modern Air Force.

The Royal Navy of Bran thus realized the value of aircraft carriers, and compared with the rough North Sunset Ocean, Lu Xinhai is more suitable for aircraft carrier operations.

It was for this reason that Cunningham was the commander of the Royal Bran Navy who knew the most about aviation operations.

All along, White stopped fighting Cunningham as the number one enemy.

For this reason, he also deliberately told Wang Kaiyuan that as long as he kept an eye on Cunningham, he could grasp every move of the Royal Navy of Buran.

Cunningham's stay in the Lu Xinhai Fleet and his failure to return to the mainland is enough to prove that the Royal Navy of Bran has decided to take action in Lu Xinhai.

In addition, judging by the timing of the sorties of the two detachments, it is definitely related to the sortie of the "Prime Minister".

Although Li Yunxiang did not bring exact news, according to the inference of Bai Zhizhan, the Royal Navy of Bran was preparing to use the "Prime Minister" to attack, that is, when the whole world was paying attention to the North Sea, to launch a surprise attack on the Luxin Sea, and strive to destroy the Locke fleet and the Raleigh fleet in one fell swoop.

In this way, Cunningham will be able to lead a fleet to reinforce the Van Yanyang in January.

Judging from the overall strategic situation, unless the Bran Kingdom intends to part ways with the Newland Federation, it must increase its troops to Fan Yanyang as soon as possible.

Whether it is to lose the sea control of Fan Yanyang, or to let the Imperial Navy continue to exert force in the Guia Ocean, it will make the Nuland Federation seriously dissatisfied.

No matter how big Chur's heart was, he would never dare to offend Lofus.

To put it mildly, as long as the Nuland Federation stops providing impermanence assistance to the Bran Kingdom, the Bran Kingdom will be defeated and surrendered within half a year!

At that time, even if the fleet is preserved intact, what is the use?

Twenty years ago, didn't the fleets that the Manman Empire desperately kept end up in Sparka Bay, and all of them sank to the bottom of the sea with the "rainbow" signal?

Time is running out for the Royal Navy of Bran.

This is also the key to Xue Yuanzheng's approval of the third set of combat plans, and Liu Changxun's generosity in sending the 41st Task Force.

In terms of time, it is only one and a half months.

If the Imperial Navy is unable to take Lion Springs by mid-February, it is likely to be blocked and forced to adjust its battle plan.

This also decided that the only way to storm Lion Spring City was to storm it.

A month and a half, is it enough?

To say, this is what Bai Zhizhan is worried about.

Previously, Bai Zhizhan also hoped to reduce the difficulty of attacking Lion Spring City through the blockade, and maybe in the end, he would be able to surrender without a fight.

Now it seems that it is clearly unlikely.

The reason is also very simple, when the Bran Royal Navy takes action in Lu Xinhai and Cunningham leads the fleet to the aid of Van Yanyang, the Bran army guarding Lion Spring City will definitely be inspired, and may even fight to the death. In such a situation, storming Lion Spring City will definitely pay a huge price.

No matter how bad the Bran army stationed in the colony was, it could hold out for several months.

In addition, no one dares to guarantee that Lion Springs City will be conquered within a month and a half.

If the combat operation had only started in mid-January, the attack on Shiquan City would have taken a month, not a month and a half.

Even if Lian Xusheng is allowed to bring the most elite troops, he is not absolutely sure.
