After waiting for a while, more than a dozen wartime cabinet officials headed by Xue Yuanzheng, several naval generals headed by Liu Changxun, and a group of army generals headed by Peng Huaisheng arrived one after another, while Situ Jingde and the intelligence officers of the Sixth Bureau had been waiting at the conference center for a long time.

This is the plenary meeting of the Supreme High Command of the Empire, and all the people who come are big figures at the decision-making level.

In addition, Liu Xiangzhen is also back.

Looking at his dusty appearance, he should have rushed back from the front line immediately after receiving the news, and he didn't even delay for half a minute halfway.

He Yongxing and Gui Boyong are also listed.

Bai Zhizhan wanted to go over to say hello, but was stopped by Xue Yuanzheng.

Nothing important, just told him not to leave after the meeting, and there were some things to talk to him privately.

By the time Bai Zhizhan and Xue Yuanzheng entered, everyone else had already taken their seats.

The position left for Bai Zhizhan was behind Liu Changxun, next to Liu Xiangzhen, while He Yongxing was in another row, and Gui Boyong and several other generals sat behind him.

This arrangement is very meaningful.

Because Bai Zhizhan did not go, and the home fleet was inevitably overheaded, a few months ago, after He Yongxing was in charge of the navy's equipment construction, Gui Boyong was transferred to the post of temporary chief of general staff of the navy, and the word "temporary generation" was removed from the personnel rotation in early July.

It's just that the Chief of the General Staff of the Navy is nothing more than a fictitious post

To say, He Yongxing still has some real power, after all, the construction of warships and the purchase of combat aircraft have to be reviewed by the institutions under his management.

From this point of view, the He family was actually beaten back to the prototype.

The situation of the Liu family is similar, and it can even be said that it is even worse.

In Liu Changxun's generation, Liu Changxun still has real power, but Liu Changxun's "traitor" identity has been semi-public, and the Liu family does not treat him as their own. Among the following generations, there are only two who can be regarded as talented, Liu Xiangzhen, who has been fighting with Bai Zhi for 20 years, and Liu Xiangdong, who has been fighting with Bai Zhi so far. The latter can be regarded as another Liu Changxun, while the former is constrained everywhere.

As for the one who won Liu Changhe's favor, that is, the second ancestor Liu Xiangbin, he had already been kicked out of the inner circle of the navy.

Soon after the battle on the Icestorm Peninsula ended, Liu Changxun sent Liu Xiangbin to Puju to take charge of the repair of the port.

Shortly thereafter, he was sent to the newly captured island of Shuangma, where preparations were made for the landing on the Sagi mainland.

These two things are drudgery that no one wants to take over, and Liu Changxun also famously said: a training opportunity specially for the younger generation.

Liu Xiangbin didn't want to go, but the military order is like a mountain, and there is no room for shirk!

Because the Imperial Army did not participate in the combat operations on the main island of Sagi, so far, the combat operation from Shuangma Island to attack the mainland of Sayi has not been launched, and Liu Xiangbin, who is responsible for organizing the landing operation on Shuangma Island, can only stay on that desert island.

In Liu Changxun's words: Roll as far as you can, out of sight, out of mind.

If you want to say that the Liu family is still outstanding, it is Liu Xiangzhen.

It's just that Liu Xiangzhen will choose, whether he will be on the side of his cousin Liu Changxun like his cousin Liu Xiangdong, I can't say now.

It can be seen that the two major families of the Imperial Navy are going downhill.

It's also inevitable.

Since the time of Zhu Shijian, the status of the two major families in the imperial navy has been greatly reduced, and after entering the war period, there is even less opportunity.

With the sudden rise of the Bai Zhizhan, especially becoming the imperial concubine, and the big tree of the royal family, the Liu family and the He family had to clamp their tails.

In times of war, just by relying on appeal, the imperial royal family can crush all the gate valve families!

To put it mildly: to be an enemy of the royal family is to be an enemy of the empire, and to be an enemy of the 500 million imperial soldiers and civilians.

No matter how the constitution is reformed, no matter how secularization is made, no matter how the times change, the core interests of the empire represented and symbolized by the royal family have never changed!

After the meeting began, Xue Yuanzheng first pointed out the theme.

If the Nuland Federation enters the war within a month, how will the empire respond?

Subsequently, Yang Zhiyuan, director of the Sixth Bureau, explained the current situation based on the information that had been intercepted.

This was the first time Bai Zhizhan had met the number one boss in the imperial intelligence community.

Before that, it was only famous, never met.

Yang Zhiyuan is actually an ordinary-looking old man, and he has nothing to do with the rumored magical character, at least it doesn't look so magical.

It's also normal.

Wang Kaiyuan is a very ordinary middle-aged man, if he didn't know him, he would never believe that he was a senior intelligence officer of the Sixth Bureau.

This is true for most of those who engage in intelligence.

At this time, Bai Zhizhan knew that Wang Kaiyuan did not lie to him, or that the news that was revealed at the beginning was not used to trick him.

The Nuland Federation has indeed organized hundreds of freighters to deliver a batch of life-saving supplies to the Narrow Empire in the near future.

Crucially, there is a very good reason.

Humanitarian aid for the devastated civilians of war!

At stake here is the war policy of the Empire.

At the beginning of the year, that is, after the announcement of the strategic embargo by the Kingdom of Bran, the imperial authorities proposed that it was only aimed at war criminals, and that it was aimed at fighting war crimes, and not against the civilians of the Imperial State, and asked the Kingdom of Bran to adjust the strategic embargo on this ground.

It's just a face-saving job, but it's very necessary.

It was only with this reason that the Kingdom of Bran agreed to relax the embargo restrictions in private negotiations, thus rendering the embargo null and void. It was also for this reason that the Bran Kingdom had not confused the Liangxia Empire with the Juman Empire in the previous months.

It was in this way that until August, the Empire's blockade of the Narrow Imperial State was clearly targeted.

To put it simply, a third party was allowed to provide humanitarian supplies to the Imperial State, such as food and medicine, only to report to the Imperial authorities one month in advance, and the Imperial Navy would arrange for warships to escort them through the blockaded sea area and ensure that the supplies were used for humanitarian relief.

By September, the situation had changed.

The Nuland Shipping Company, which specializes in delivering humanitarian relief supplies to the Empire, did not submit a report on the use of the supplies as required, that is, to prove that in the previous six months, all the approximately 100,000 tons of food sent to the Empire had been distributed to war refugees.

There is also information that all of this grain went into the hands of the Eastern Sagi Army, and some of it was sent to the western front of the main island, where it was also captured by the Sagashi National Guard.

To be precise, it was the Eastern Sasa army, which had obtained these supplies, that surrendered in front of the battle.

The empire used this as an excuse to issue a ban.

Humanitarian relief provided by third parties to the civilian population of the Western Narrows is carried out through the Western Narrows regime, and the delivery of food and other supplies to the East Narrows is no longer permitted.

It was on this ground that the Nuland Federation proposed to continue to provide humanitarian aid to the Eastern Sasan and to ensure the safety of the fleet of the Liangxia Empire.

To this end, the Nuland State Department clearly mentioned.

The East Narrows, which the Nuland Federation recognizes, does not recognize the West Narrows, so humanitarian aid will not be provided through the West.

Reporting?

The relevant information has been sent to the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and a total of 138 freighters are carrying food, clothing and medicines and other goods included in the list of humanitarian relief supplies, and mainly warm clothing, which fully meets the definition of humanitarian aid under international law.

So, is it to be released, or not to be released?
