Zhou Yongtao went to make a call when Bai Zhizhan was having dinner, using the special line of the design institute, mainly for the sake of confidentiality.

Before Bai Zhizhan had finished dinner, he returned to the hotel.

The situation is not optimistic at all.

In the Tuke Fortress, the four "Golden Steel"-class fast battleships have been lit and are starting to resupply, and the others are also preparing for sailing.

According to the speculation of the sixth round, Lan Yun will set sail in three days.

The point is that his mission is not to go to Asahi to make trouble, but to bring the fleet back to the Sayi mainland.

The intelligence is very reliable.

Zheng Jiangming did not hide the war from Bai Zhi, and made it very clear that there was a spy of the Sixth Bureau on the Newland freighter that transported maintenance equipment. This person is in the Tuk Fortress, and he mixes very well, otherwise he would not have been able to get so many accurate clues, let alone grasp the movements of the fleet.

According to Zheng Jiangming, the Samuel Navy had already decided that the Imperial Navy would concentrate on supporting the army's attack on the Ice Storm Peninsula in the near future, so it would leave the special group in the Xuhai Sea, and it would be able to take this opportunity to let Lan Yun lead the remnants of the permanent fleet to return to the mainland.

No matter how you fight next, there is definitely nothing wrong with returning the fleet to the mainland.

Stay in the fortress of Tuk, that's weird.

Even if the fleet was to send a fleet to make trouble, it would be much more convenient to start from the mainland than from the southwestern and eastward seas, so there was no reason for the fleet to stay at the fortress of Tuke.

In this way, Lan Yun is very likely to encounter a special group commanded by Liu Xiangzhen on the way north.

Of course, that's not quite accurate.

When Lan Yun led the permanent fleet north, for security reasons, the special task force that had already entered the Guia Ocean would have to suspend its combat operations to attack Liuhuangdao and free up its hands to kill the permanent fleet first, which would also expose its strategic intentions and lose the opportunity to surprise the attack.

Don't forget that all actions, including feints on Jedo, are to deceive the opponent.

The ultimate goal was to relax the vigilance of the Narrow Navy so that it could take the vital Liuhuang Island in one fell swoop.

If the suddenness is lost, the surprise attack becomes a strong attack, not only will it take more cost and time, but it will also affect the entire battle situation.

The point is that there are only five fleet aircraft carriers now, and only four can be used.

Even if five aircraft carriers are dispatched together, it will not be enough to launch an attack from the front, after all, five aircraft carriers can only carry about 500 carrier-based aircraft at most, and in any direction of the Sagi mainland, especially on the island of Honshu, there are no less than 500 shore-based combat aircraft that can be deployed and used.

After the airport was bombed, it was able to be repaired and put back into service in a few days.

If the aircraft carrier is bombed, even if it is not sunk, it will take several months to repair, and whether it will be put into service on time is still unknown.

If the Samui Navy becomes alert from this, it only needs to deploy a few hundred more bombers in the direction of the Volcanic Islands to pose a huge enough threat to the special task force that the Imperial Navy will temporarily abandon the idea of attacking Liuhuang Island, and at least need to adjust the battle plan.

With such a toss, can you defeat the Narrow Imperial Kingdom within a year?

On the way back, Lan Yun will definitely receive the news, and he will also make targeted adjustments, and the four fast battleships will become a big problem.

The point is, this matter must have something to do with the Newland Federation.

The freighter, the cannonballs and other materials that had been transported, as well as the equipment for repairing the warship, were all provided by the Nuland Federation, which was equivalent to giving them to the Narrowish Navy for free.

Also, the statement that Hale made.

These, without exception, show that the New York Federation is trying to create trouble for the Empire, and the purpose is to slow down the advance of the Imperial Navy.

"So we don't have ten days."

"It's good to have a week, and at the moment, maybe five days."

Bai Zhizhan nodded, but he still looked worried.

If you want him to say, I'm afraid it won't be for five days.

The key is that even if it is repaired, it will take time to inspect, and even if it is not inspected, it will take a few days to replenish ammunition, fuel and other combat materials.

In fact, even if there is a week, what can it be?

In the afternoon, the engineers and foremen of the shipyard said that ten days is the most optimistic scenario, provided that all the preparations can be successfully completed.

If it really has to drag on for ten days, even if the supply operation is carried out a few days after the repair, and the port will be left after the repair, it will not be in time.

When I rush over, I'm afraid even the daylily will be cold.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhizhan had an incomparably headache.

I really don't feel at ease, it's not that I don't worry about Zhou Yongtao, it's that I don't worry about the Navy Command, I think Zheng Jiangming may have something else to say.

After dinner, Bai Zhizhan personally went to the design institute to make a call.

It's okay not to make this call, but I got another piece of bad news.

A few hours earlier, two of the Nuland Navy's fleet carriers, which had previously conducted joint training with the Royal Navy Bran in the North Sunset Ocean and returned to the shipyards on the East Coast for modernization of the USS Leck and USS Sarah, had entered the Guia through the Lookout Canal.

According to the latest information, the two aircraft carriers will sail directly to Treasure Harbour in the Howaii Islands.

In addition, it is likely that the Nuland Navy will move the headquarters of the Guia Fleet to Honu Island within a few months, with Jumbo Harbor as its home port.

To put it simply, it was to advance the departure base of the Guia Fleet thousands of kilometers west from Saint-Goat on the west coast.

The fact that the fleet could arrive at Tube Island or Mara Harbor five days earlier from Saint-Goat than from Saint-Goat gave the fleet five days of precious time.

"Are you sure?"

"100% sure. I also just received the message and called to ask. A meeting was being held above on this matter, and it was basically decided that the Nuland Federation was preparing for war. ”

"Going to war?" Bai Zhizhan was startled, and his hand holding the microphone trembled slightly.

"Although it is speculated from the current situation that the Nuland Federation is likely to set an example, encouraging other powers, such as the Bran Kingdom to impose sanctions on us, and may even use this method to influence the Luosha Federation, but no matter what, there is no way to rule out the possibility of the Nuland Federation participating in the war."

Bai Zhizhan was silent, but he didn't know how to answer.

"Old white?"

"Yes, listen."

"Now the situation is very clear, you must seize this opportunity to repair the 'Hengjiang' as soon as possible and intercept the permanent fleet."

"You mean ......"

"If you can do that, you can go as planned. Otherwise, the plan will have to be adjusted, or even scrapped altogether. ”

"Not going to attack Liuhuang Island?" Although he asked so, Bai Zhizhan's tone was obviously incredulous.

"At least as far as I know, that's already being considered. You must know that if you give up attacking Liuhuang Island, the only option is to land on the narrow Yi mainland and fight a regular ground battle. With this step, there's no turning back. ”

"How much time?" Bai Zhizhan didn't hesitate anymore and asked directly.

If you have to land on the Sagi mainland, especially before the complete defeat of the Sagi army, you are advancing in the direction of defeat.

A bitter battle will inevitably drag the empire into the abyss from which it will never recover.

Didn't the president of the Nuland Federation make so many small moves just to let the empire exhaust its combat power in the narrow imperial state, and then reap the benefits?

"Just for a few days, it's better to give me a clear answer tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll figure it out, and I'll get in touch when there's a result."

"Remember, the sooner the better."
