After listening to Chull's words, Cunningham's expression did not change in the slightest.

That's the kind of person he is.

When Chull talked about how to design Eisenway, Cunningham was absent-minded because he was thinking about a more important issue.

"Is this information reliable?"

"What do you say about Bai Zhizhan going to Yanhai?"

Cunningham remained silent, he had always felt that Chull was an unqualified politician because of the serious lack of coherence and logic in his speech.

Speaking of excitement, there is also a bit of a stutter!

"Eisenway said it himself, it should be fine."

"So, I'm afraid you'll have to start early."

"Is this necessary?" When asking this question, Chull visibly hesitated.

"Because the Daiman Kingdom has already made its attitude clear and allowed the Liang Xia army to cross and station, Shiquan City will definitely fall within a few months." Cunningham paused for a moment before saying, "Because we haven't sent an aircraft carrier to Fanyanyang yet, and the Nuland garrison in Nanzhu has been defeated, there is reason to believe that the Liangxia Navy will seize the opportunity to give us a head-on attack in Fanyanyang." ”

"You mean ......"

"Decades ago, Chen Bingxun took the risk of leading a fleet into the Fanyan Ocean, blockading the Throat Strait, not only taking the city of Shiquan in one fell swoop, but also defeating the expeditionary fleet in the subsequent Battle of the Andaman Sea. According to the propaganda of the Liang Xia Navy, Bai Zhizhan is the closest to Chen Bingxun's existence. ”

"It's not the time."

"There are thousands of reasons to win, but there is only one reason to lose."

Chull was stunned for a moment, but did not answer.

This sentence comes from the god of war of the Bran Royal Navy, and Nelson, the only undefeated commander before Chen Bingxun, is only the first half of the sentence.

The second half of the sentence is: because of arrogance and underestimation of the enemy.

At the beginning, the Bran Royal Navy lost Shiquan City, but it was too arrogant and didn't take the Liang Xia fleet seriously, thinking that the Liang Xia fleet would not dare to venture into the Fanyan Ocean.

If the precautions had been strengthened at that time and it was discovered in time that the Liang Xia fleet had entered the Fanyan Ocean from the strait to the east, the Royal Navy of Bran might not have lost Shiquan City. If the fleet is sent to hold the Throat Strait in time, it will definitely be able to hold out in Lion Springs City for a few more months, and there will be a chance to turn defeat into victory.

At that time, the Royal Navy of Bran decided to abandon Lion Springs City because it did not understand the situation of Liang Xia's fleet, such as the number of transport ships. If he knew that there were only a few transport ships in Liang Xia's fleet, and the supplies he carried were only enough for six months, he would definitely fight to the death in Lion Spring City.

"When are you going to go?" After much thought, Chull accepted Cunningham's offer.

"Just for a few days." Cunningham glanced at Chull, and then said: "The early stage is still acting according to plan, and after completing the scheduled assault operation, I will return to Zhiluo Fortress with the main fleet and set off half a month ahead of schedule." Therefore, the home fleet has to make another arrangement. ”

"Who do you think is the best fit?"

"General Savile."

"Him?"

"Just searching for the encirclement of the 'Prime Minister', General Savile is fully competent."

Chur's brow furrowed, and after a moment of contemplation, he nodded, acknowledging Cunningham's recommendation.

"The operation on the side of the home fleet should ideally drag on for a few days. Before returning to Alexandria, I will talk to General Savile and make him understand the significance of this combat operation. As long as the 'Prince of Wales' can be put into service on time, the home fleet will have three fast capital ships. Even if all the main forces of the Riman Navy are killed, the problem is not very big, at least it is sure to drive the Riman fleet back. ”

"That's for the best."

"Don't worry, with what I know about him, although he is indeed a bit conservative and lacks aggressiveness, there will be no problem in carrying out such a defensive mission."

"Is there anything else to look out for?"

Cunningham obviously hesitated for a moment before he said: "After completing the task of encircling and destroying the 'Prime Minister', Saville must set off with the fleet immediately, and there must be no delay." To put it simply, the quicker and more decisive his actions, the more helpful he will be on my side. ”

"I will personally urge him."

"That'll do."

"Will you stay for breakfast?" By the time he said this, Chull had already stood up, clearly not intending to leave Cunningham for breakfast.

"No, I still have a lot of things to deal with."

Cunningham was a real man, and he had known Chull for more than twenty years, so he knew this guy very well and would not bother with him.

Besides, it's not bad for breakfast.

At this time, over the southern waters of the Yanhai Sea, the transport plane transporting the White Stop War had already entered the landing course, and in front of it was the field airfield of the Army Airlines.

Because the naval shore-based aviation did not participate in combat operations on this side, the airfields all belonged to the army aviation.

It is said to be a field airfield, but in fact the infrastructure is very perfect, there are 3 runways, and there are at least 4 anti-aircraft gun positions on the periphery.

In addition, both sides of the runway were lined with large and small combat aircraft.

Mainly twin-engine long-range fighters versus medium bombers.

As for the main force of the army aviation, Li Yunxiang admired the best heavy bombers, but there were only a few.

The combat radius is less than 1500 km, there is no need to use heavy bombers, twin-engine medium bombers are enough.

Of course, it has to do with the lack of heavy bombers.

Almost all the heavy bombers were sent to the northwest to carry out strategic bombing of the Luosha Federation, so all the bombers sent here were medium bombers.

Before the transport plane landed, Bai Zhizhan also noticed that there were several construction sites outside the airport.

After landing, getting off the transport plane, Bai Zhizhan saw an old acquaintance who came to pick him up.

Army Aviation Major General Du Kang.

Before following Li Yunxiang back to the Army, he also served in the Navy, participated in several battles after the war, and was the commander of the 3rd Carrier-based Air Wing at that time.

To say, he still owes Bai Zhizhan a great favor.

After Li Yunxiang returned to the Army Airlines, if it weren't for Bai Zhizhan's help to erase a few stains on his resume, he would probably have been sent to the Naval Aviation Academy.

Compared to when he was still in the Navy, Du Kang seemed to be a different person.

It is actually more appropriate to describe it as "like a fish in water".

It is very understandable that pilots like Du Kang, who were originally born in the Army Aviation, have a sense of belonging in the Navy, and only by returning to the Army Aviation can they find a suitable position for themselves.

It's also about being reused.

Although Li Yunxiang had many capable subordinates, Du Kang was only one of them, but he was now the supreme commander of the Army Aviation Corps in the direction of Yanhai. Li Yunxiang reused Du Kang, firstly, to see the affection of the same person who had served in HNA for more than ten years, and secondly, he vowed never to drink again.

In Li Yunxiang's words, he is the head snake here.

In the face of Bai Zhizhan, Du Kang didn't dare to make a mistake.

On the way to the command center, Du Kang gave a general introduction to the situation.

Just yesterday, the construction of the Jianzhuwen Airport was officially completed.

The Jianzhuwen airfield is next to the port, making it easier to transport ammunition, and a special oil pipeline will be built, where a front-line headquarters will be set up in the future.

For the time being, it has not been relocated, mainly because the barracks and other infrastructure have not yet been built.

As for the troops, that is, a matter of a few words.

To date, in the southern part of the Yanhai Sea, there are more than 1500 hundred combat aircraft, most of them bombers. Based on the calculation of the sortie rate of 80 percent, theoretically, a maximum of 800 bombers and 400 fighters can be dispatched at a time, and the number of sorties is actually limited by the airport.

Although it can't be compared with the Northwest Battlefield, it must be more than enough to attack Lion Spring City.
