"Qinling".

After receiving the news that the seaplane transporting Sp had departed, Bai Zhizhan returned to the cabin.

Although he accepted the surrender of the 5th Fleet of Nuland as the victor, Bai Zhizhan felt that he should still change into a formal dress.

Either way, Spu is a worthy opponent.

If anything, he is still the most formidable opponent that Bai Zhizhan has ever encountered.

In the first battle, if it weren't for the delay between Hal and Fry, especially if Hal did not withstand Liu Xiangzhen's attack, and then misdirected the counterattack, and a little lack of luck, I am afraid that Spu would have defeated Bai Zhizhi in the Northwest and Guia Ocean.

With the situation at the time, at least it would not have been so badly lost.

If the Nuland Navy had not lost the Battle of the Guia Sea, then the Guia Theater and indeed the entire war would have developed in a different direction.

In addition, in the Battle of the Guia, it is possible that if Sp had been in command instead of Cunningham in command, it would have been a different outcome.

In fact, when he received the news that Spu had accepted Nyzz's order yesterday, Bai Zhizhan's tense nerves relaxed.

However, it was only a little bit more relaxed.

If Spu refuses to accept the surrender order, then what awaits the tens of thousands of officers and men of the three task forces will be an extremely difficult naval and air battle.

It was only after receiving this news that Zheng Jiangming went to Treasure Harbor as an imperial envoy.

According to the arrangement, he was to discuss with Nyth about the surrender of the Nuland Guia Fleet.

As for the government level, the negotiations with the Wallace administration have nothing to do with Zheng Jiangming, and the special envoys sent from China are in charge.

It wasn't until the beginning, that is, when the reconnaissance plane sent a report that all the warships of the Nuland 5th Fleet were in a non-combat state according to the previous agreement, that Bai Zhizhan really believed that Spu did not play tricks and indeed obeyed and carried out the surrender order issued by Nitz.

In fact, Bai Zhizhan made several preparations.

Just like Spuchai, in addition to sending an assault formation with 6 fast battleships as a residence, Bai Zhizhan also arranged a group of attack aircraft.

Not one, but three.

According to the deployment of the White Stop War, if there is any disturbance, these three attack aircraft groups with more than 100 carrier-based aircraft will immediately launch an attack.

It is naturally great that the 5th Fleet can surrender.

If you can't, there's no need to force it.

In the words of Bai Zhizhan, if he had to choose between dozens of warships and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, he would definitely choose the latter without hesitation.

What's more, that's still dozens of warships of the Nuland Navy.

Besides, launching an attack is not the same as sinking.

As long as it is able to inflict heavy damage on enemy ships, it is enough.

Next, naturally, let the assault formation clean up the mess.

Thankfully, nothing happened.

After the assault formation had arrived and the situation was under control, the three attack groups turned back and would return to the task force shortly after.

These things have little to do with the White Stop.

What he has to do is to meet with Sp and accept Sp's surrender.

Then, it was to escort Sp back to Treasure Harbor, and then stay outside Treasure Harbor with the fleet, waiting for new instructions from the head of the house or the commander-in-chief of the navy.

If all goes well, perhaps in a few days, the "Qinling" will enter Treasure Harbor as the flagship of the Imperial Navy's Guia Fleet.

Actually, this has been said for a long time.

Liu Changxun sent a telegram yesterday, telling Bai Zhizhan to prepare to go to Zhenbao Harbor to receive the surrender of the Nuland Navy's Guia Fleet in his capacity as the plenipotentiary representative of the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Navy.

For this reason, Liu Changxun also specially reminded Bai to stop fighting and prepare a set of dresses.

Of course, Liu Changxun's arrangement was to give the highest honor to Bai Zhizhan, so as to prove that Bai Zhizhan was the number one hero of the Imperial Navy.

Liu Changxun also hinted in the telegram that Bai would stop the war.

After receiving the highest honors, he had to return to the empire.

It's not that Liu Changxun is old, but after defeating the last strong enemy, there is no longer a need for Bai Zhizhan to continue to charge ahead.

Without Sp, who else would be able to lead a fleet to challenge the Imperial Navy?

Don't talk about Bai Zhizhan and Liu Xiangzhen, let Wei Jun and Zhou Yongtao, the young Zhuang faction that emerged in the war, take the lead, and they can also sweep the Guia!

In Liu Changxun's own words, he only served as the commander-in-chief of the navy for Bai Zhizhan for a few years.

As early as Zhu Shijian's time, it was determined that Bai Zhizhan was the ideal candidate for commander-in-chief of the imperial navy, but Bai Zhizhan was still too young at that time.

In addition, in a major war, it is even more necessary to command the fleet at the front.

At this time, on the incoming seaplane.

Although he knew that he was going to surrender, Sp didn't think much about it.

When Niz gave the order, he clearly mentioned that Spu was going to surrender on his behalf, so there was no need to sign a surrender agreement with the commander of the Liangxia fleet.

In other words, Sp does not have to worry about being stinking for 10,000 years because he signed the surrender agreement.

In fact, after boarding the "South Zhuhai", Spu put down all his baggage.

For him, for the tens of thousands of officers and men of the 5th Fleet, and for the millions of officers and men of the Khowaii Islands, surrender was not only a relief, but also a salvation.

After the death of Lofus, the treason of Hale, and the exile of Wallace, the Newland Federation was defeated.

If you want to continue fighting, not only will you have no chance of winning, but you will also make thousands of soldiers shed blood and die for a purpose that does not exist.

To put it mildly, the Liangxia Empire didn't even need to launch a strong attack, just blockading the Khowaii Islands was enough to make millions of soldiers and people worse than dead!

Fighting for an illegitimate regime is not even cannon fodder!

3 days ago, Spu also did a simple war game with Tian Shi for this matter.

It was concluded that if Nitsu was unwilling to surrender, the Liangxia Navy would leave a few task forces, mainly small aircraft carriers, to blockade the Khowaii Islands, and then send the other task forces to the Wangxi Canal, and at the same time let the Sunset Ocean Fleet kill the Caribbean.

All it was necessary to destroy the locks of the Wangyu Canal and the 5th Fleet entering the Guia Ocean would be a dead end.

Don't forget that there are no large dockyards on the West Coast that can provide repair and maintenance services for aircraft carriers and battleships, and there is a lack of upstream factories.

Some large equipment, which cannot be transported by rail, must be transported by sea.

Perhaps, the best outcome is to sink yourself in the Treasure Harbor!

"We're almost there!"

It was only after hearing the pilot's reminder that Spu came back to his senses.

Ahead, dozens of carrier-based aircraft circled at low altitude, lining up to land on the towering aircraft carrier.

Mainly bombers and attack aircraft, and those fighters left behind, also hung rockets and other ammunition.

Spu was a little speechless, but he also immediately thought that Bai Zhizhan did not carelessly underestimate the enemy.

In fact, throughout the battle, Bai Zhizhan never despised his opponent.

Perhaps, this is the most terrifying thing about him.

A victorious general who has never suffered defeat has never been complacent because of a hundred victories!

The seaplane did not fly to the aircraft carrier, and after flying next to the aircraft carrier, it continued to fly forward.

A few minutes later, the flagship, which seemed out of place with the surrounding battleships, came into view.

Probably to let Spu see more clearly, the seaplane circled around the "Qinling" before landing on the sea next to it.
