Chapter 133: Don't dare to relax
Li Yunxiang was still busy, and during the battle, he was the busiest among the main commanders, to be precise, the commander of the carrier-based aviation unit.
In comparison, it is much easier to stop the war.
Whether he was previously the chief of staff or now the commander, Bai Zhizhan is mainly responsible for decision-making and deciding when to make a move. Unless it is a special circumstance, such as Li Yunxiang is really too busy, or there is a serious deviation in his understanding of tactical intentions and operational deployment, Bai Zhizhan will intervene. Just like at the beginning, the arrangements made by Li Yunxiang in advance clashed with the tactics adjusted by Bai Zhizhan.
is more idle now, in addition to Bai Zhizhan, there is also Li Mingbo.
"I asked someone, that kid was a thorn in the head in the military school. I heard that I first offended a few seniors surnamed Liu because of fighting for others, and later offended a few people surnamed He because I didn't give face, otherwise I wouldn't have been assigned here, or the carrier-based aviation wing. ”
"What about the others?"
It was Bai Zhizhan who asked Li Mingbo to inquire, and there were many classmates of Zhou Yongtao in the Naval Academy in the fleet.
"It's okay, I'm introverted, but I'm not withdrawn; There are a few classmates who have a good relationship, but they are not particularly iron; The grades are all very good, and there are five minor majors, which can be said to be all-round talents; The family conditions are very ordinary, similar to you; There are several siblings, and he is the fourth; His father was a worker in an automobile factory, his mother was a housewife, but his maternal grandfather was a university professor. ”
Bai Zhizhan was stunned when he heard it, this is too detailed.
"For the rest, I'll find someone to inquire when I get back."
"We'll talk about it when we get back." Bai Zhizhan was speechless, he knew that Li Mingbo had dug up other people's ancestors, and he wouldn't have let him inquire in the first place.
"You don't have to think too much," Li Mingbo obviously hesitated for a moment before he said, "No matter what, Liu Xiangzhen's side has won a big victory, what about our side......"
"That's why I don't dare to relax."
Listening to Bai Zhizhan's words, Li Mingbo didn't know how to answer.
In the past ten years, Li Mingbo has followed Bai Zhizhan all the way. If you really want to say it, Li Mingbo can be regarded as the closest subordinate to Bai Zhizhan.
To say, he knows better than outsiders the relationship between Bai Zhizhan and Liu Xiangzhen.
Second Admiral Huh, the door god of the Imperial Navy, Gemini ......
These are nothing more than nicknames given to the two by the outside world.
To put it mildly, the two are actually rivals.
Every year in the fleet exercise, which time did the two not fight upside down?
More importantly, there has always been a dispute between Liu Bai and Liu within the Imperial Navy.
Ten years later, will Liu Xiangzhen take the helm, or will Bai Zhizhan raise the flag?
Not to mention the current commander-in-chief of the Navy, Liu Changxun, and even Zhu Shijian, did not give a clear statement on this matter when he left office.
Obviously, it depends on the performance of the two.
It is precisely in this way that Bai Zhizhan will feel the pressure.
Are you afraid of losing to Liu Xiangzhen?
That's not all.
In fact, as early as three years ago, Bai Zhizhan approached Zhu Shijian and proposed to teach at the Naval Academy, but Zhu Shijian vetoed it.
At that time, Bai Zhizhan had the idea of retreating bravely from the rapids, and he also wanted to follow Zhu Shijian's example.
What Bai Zhizhan was worried about was that if he continued to fight with Liu Xiangzhen, it would have an impact on the development of the navy, so it was better to withdraw early.
It's just that Bai Zhizhan's idea is also a bit naïve, he has already become famous, and he can't retreat at all.
Now, Bai Zhizhan is worried about another issue.
In terms of tactics, to be precise, in the application of aircraft carriers, Liu Xiangzhen is still conservative and does not show much initiative in many cases.
This fear became a reality yesterday.
Before leaving the imperial capital, Bai Zhizhan spent one night communicating with Liu Xiangzhen, during which he repeatedly emphasized that the position of the special group should be slightly forward, in addition to shortening the attack distance, it can also more effectively detect and grasp the fighters, and ensure that the actions taken at the critical time can be quickly effective.
Although Bai Zhizhan did not say it directly, according to his meaning, the special group should be on standby in the southeast direction of Foot Island.
If this is the case, then when the mobile fleet sneaks up on Chengjiang Port, the special mixed group will be able to launch an attack and take the mobile fleet by surprise. If you're not too lucky, the Task Force might even sink four aircraft carriers of the Mobile Fleet in one fell swoop before they are attacked.
As a result, the position of the special group was withdrawn a hundred kilometers back.
It was this extra distance that almost led to catastrophic consequences.
If it weren't for Liu Xiangzhen's decisive decision at a critical moment, or when he had no other choice, so that the carrier-based aircraft did not have to return to the special task force, I am afraid that he would not have been able to fight back after being beaten, let alone sink the two narrow-minded aircraft carriers, and it would have been even more impossible to have today's big victory.
Of course, Liu Xiangzhen is now a superhero of the Imperial Navy.
As for the heavy losses suffered yesterday, they have long been thrown out of the clouds. Even if someone brings it up, no one will think that Liu Xiangzhen should be responsible.
That's just an afterthought.
Who can be like God on the battlefield?
It's just that Li Mingbo doesn't see it that way.
In his opinion, Liu Xiangzhen is not an afterthought, nor is he not not active enough, but he likes to calculate too much, and the city government is also very deep.
According to Li Mingbo's point of view, without yesterday's painful loss, today's turning point will inevitably be greatly discounted, and Liu Xiangzhen will definitely not become a hero.
Yesterday we won the war, and that's my duty.
Turning defeat into victory today is a great credit for turning the tide and saving the navy from danger!
But what can it be?
Although he is not a descendant like Liu Xiangbin, the current Liu Xiangzhen is the pillar of the Liu family, and he can be said to be a popular spicy chicken.
It is precisely because of this that Li Mingbo has always felt that Bai Zhizhan is very tired.
Sometimes, I am very aggrieved!
As a civilian officer, if you want to reach the top of the Imperial Navy, you must have a difficult road, and you must overcome all kinds of difficulties and dangers.
In the past hundred years, there has only been one Chen Bingxun in the Imperial Navy.
After Chen Bingxun, the highest achievement from the civilian class is Zhu Shijian. He can become the commander-in-chief, and luck plays a greater role.
On the bright side, the more proud Liu Xiangzhen is, the more motivated Bai Zhizhan is.
For the dialogue to stop the war, Li Mingbo is absolutely confident.
Of course, it is not possible to be without faith.
Don't forget, Li Mingbo was promoted by Bai Zhizhan, and his body has long been branded with the mark of Bai Zhizhan, and outsiders will only treat him as Bai Zhizhan's subordinates.
On this ship helmed by Bai Zhizhan, it is not so easy to go down.
It's just that Li Mingbo didn't think about getting off the boat.
In his opinion, if there is a person who can lead the Imperial Navy to the four seas and reproduce the glorious era created by Marshal Chen Bingxun, it must be to stop the war in vain!
It can only be a vain war!
"I'll go down to the deck below, and you're staring here."
"Okay, there you go."
Looking at the back of Bai Zhizhan leaving, Li Mingbo sighed and didn't think about it anymore.
The replenished air defense fighters have been lifted into the air, the returning fighters have also landed on the flight deck, and the ground crews are preparing for the carrier-based aircraft to carry out the second round of attack missions, and there are no carrier-based aircraft taking off and landing for the time being. Only at this time will irrelevant people be allowed to wait.
Even if Bai Zhizhan is the commander of the fleet, he belongs to the "irrelevant people".
