Halfway through the meeting, it was the turn of the home fleet to make its point.

This has nothing to do with the White Stop War.

Do not forget that he is now the chief of staff of the 1st Air Task Force, and the "task force" is all directly subordinate to the Navy Command.

At the beginning, it was not Liu Xiangdong who made the report, but Rear Admiral Guan Zhenping of the Southern Fleet.

It is precisely in this way that Rear Admiral Zhang Guozhu, who spoke on behalf of the home fleet.

That's right, it is Zhang Guozhu, who served as the captain of the "Beihe" in the naval battle of the Watchman Strait, and was seriously wounded, and he is now the chief of staff of the home fleet.

Because of a very noticeable scar on his face, he earned the nickname "General Scar".

To Bai Zhi's strategic surprise, Zhu Shijian, He Yongxing and Liu Changxun were not there.

The latter is the current commander of the Southern Fleet, replacing Liu Changhe, who resigned due to illness more than three years ago.

In addition, he is also Liu Changhe's cousin.

Soon after taking his seat, after taking a few sips of water, Yu Zhixing rushed over.

When he came out of the conference center, Bai Zhizhan met Liu Xiangzhen.

In these twenty years, Bai Zhizhan had a real understanding of the Liu family's influence in the imperial navy.

Strictly speaking, the Liu family is the first family of the Imperial Navy, especially in the command and war department, the relationship is intertwined, and no family can match it.

The He family?

It's not comparable!

The key is that the foundation of the He family is in the manufacturing and preparation system, and it controls the shipbuilding industry, as well as the steel, chemical and other industries related to the shipbuilding industry. In the command and battle department, the only one who can handle the He family is He Yongxing, and Gui Boyong actually belongs to He Yongxing's lineage.

Bai Zhizhan only admired three people with the surname Liu.

Liu Xiangzhen is one of them.

Strictly speaking, it was through Liu Xiangzhen that Bai Zhizhan changed his opinion of the Liu family and admitted that not all of the people who came out of the family were gentlemen.

It's also very simple, in the past twenty years, only Liu Xiangzhen can compete with Bai Zhizhan.

If you want to say it, the two are actually fighting each other.

Although in the previous seventeen confrontations, the side of the White Stop War won eleven times, and Liu Xiangzhen's side only won six times, but in the seven fleet exercises in which Bai Zhizhan and Liu Xiangzhen played the leading role, Bai Zhizhan won four victories and Liu Xiangzhen won three victories.

If it weren't for the abrupt interruption of the exercise, the overall record of the two would likely be tied this year.

In Bai Zhizhan's words, Liu Xiangzhen is not an enemy, perhaps the luckiest thing in his life.

Of course, Liu Xiangzhen also gave the same evaluation to Bai Zhizhan.

In the Navy, the two are also known as "Gemini".

Of course, in the mouths of those mediocre people who are jealous of their abilities who are not used to them, they are also called "Hum Ha Second General".

Why?

They are all protégés of Zhu Shijian, and they have always followed and supported Zhu Shijian, and they must follow Zhu Shijian's orders, and there is no ambiguity.

When he came to the commander-in-chief's office, Bai Zhizhan found that the three bigwigs who left the scene halfway were all here, and the principal was obviously a little older.

If it weren't for the imminent outbreak of the Great War, Zhu Shijian would have retired after the birthday banquet.

In his own words, he was the hardest commander-in-chief since the birth of the Imperial Navy, and he could not return to his hometown at the age of eighty.

Ironically, none of the commanders-in-chief of the Navy before him lived to be eighty years old!

In fact, He Yongxing and Liu Changxun are not young.

He Yongxing is sixty-one years old, and he is no longer the leader of the enterprising Young Zhuang faction, and Liu Changxun is also sixty years old today.

After Bai Zhizhan and Liu Xiangzhen entered, Yu Zhixing closed the door.

At this time, Zhu Shijian, who was originally lying on the rocking chair and looked like he was asleep, sat up straight, and his blazing eyes indicated that he had not slept at all.

"Headmaster!"

"Headmaster!"

Before Bai Zhizhan and Liu Xiangzhen sat down, they both greeted Zhu Shijian.

"It's just there, isn't it? It's the road. ”

When Zhu Shijian said these kind words, He Yongxing and Liu Changxun each took out a folder and handed it to the colonel sitting next to him.

Rolling a glance, Bai Zhizhan and Liu Xiangzhen frowned at the same time.

"This is just received, and there is information from yesterday below, you all take a closer look."

After He Yongxing's reminder, Bai Zhizhan first turned out the following documents.

In connection with the current tensions, yesterday's information came from the Locke Federation, whose regular army has received an order to fight and is expected to be in combat mode within two days. From this, the Empire's intelligence agencies deduced that the Luosha Federation would not wait for three days and would launch a surprise attack before the third day arrived.

Issuing an ultimatum in a high-profile manner is nothing more than an attempt to deceive the opponent and paralyze the opponent's carelessness.

Another piece of information points to the Riman Empire.

Just as they were on their way back to the imperial capital by plane, the envoys of the Empire went to the Prime Minister's Office of the Rock Republic. Six hours later, a telegram was sent from the embassy of the Empire, and the Emperor of the Empire then convened a council. At the same time, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Locke announced his mediation.

Which play is this?

According to the inference of the intelligence agencies, the Locke Republic came forward to mediate, and it was also playing deception to cover the completion of the war mobilization of the Empire.

The reason is also very simple: the Locke Republic and the Hindan Empire have long secretly signed the "Offensive and Defensive Alliance Treaty", and there is no reason for the Locke Republic to mediate alone.

If it is really mediation, then after consulting with the envoys of the Empire, a joint statement should be issued.

It is certainly much better for two powerful countries to speak out together than to act alone.

If this intelligence, and the speculations made by it, are correct, war will be inevitable!

More than thirty hours have passed since the Rosa Federation issued the ultimatum, and the war will break out in about ten hours.

After reading it, Bai Zhizhan let out a long breath.

The mood is very complicated, it's like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, and all kinds of emotions are mixed together, and it doesn't feel comfortable.

To Bai Zhi's sense of strategy, he didn't feel excited, not at all!

Over the past twenty years, hundreds of thousands of Imperial Navy officers and men have worked hard to get a head start on this moment, in the next great war. This must include the White Stop War. In fact, Bai Zhizhan is still single and unwilling to think about personal problems, because he knows that a big war may break out at any time, and he will definitely charge in front, and it is very likely that he will be shrouded in horse leather.

It doesn't matter if you stay or not.

Although Bai Zhizhan has no brothers, he has more than a dozen cousins and clan brothers, and the Bai family will definitely not die because he has no heirs.

He doesn't want to live up to the people he loves and who loves him!

But now, when he knew that the war was inevitable and would break out in ten hours, Bai Zhizhan did not have the slightest sense of excitement.

In his heart, some are just resolute and resolute, and some are just calm and ruthless.

It's not just him, but also Liu Xiangzhen.

While sighing, Bai Zhizhan saw that Liu Xiangzhen showed that trademark wry smile, expressing the same emotion as his low sigh.

Either way, the long wait is finally coming to an end.

After 20 years of preparation, it's like building a car behind closed doors, what is going on, just pull it out and know it!
