Coming out of the Privy Council, Bai Zhizhan found that he was in a cold sweat, and the underwear he was wearing was soaked with sweat.

Drink three cups of tea and answer three questions.

What is this Xue Yuanzheng planning?

When answering the last question, to be precise, before answering, Bai Zhizhan was beating a drum in his heart, feeling that Xue Yuanzheng was testing him.

Perhaps, Xue Yuanzheng also asked Liu Xiangzhen the same question.

Ask for advice?

What a shrewd and powerful figure Xue Yuanzheng is that he needs to ask a newly promoted rear admiral for advice?

This kind of problem at the strategic level, even if Bai Zhizhan has some opinions, compared with Xue Yuanzheng, it seems very naïve.

It's definitely not a question, it's a test of the white stop war in this way.

If you want to become the commander of the Imperial Navy, you must have a keen strategic vision, otherwise you will be a cadre at best.

It's just, what do you want to do so much?

Bai Zhizhan went back to the hotel and found Zhou Yongtao and Jiang Haiyang, and then called Li Yunxiang over, and the four of them set up a table in the hotel.

After a few cups, Li Yunxiang opened the conversation.

In the afternoon, he submitted an application for transfer to Liu Changxun, which was immediately approved. A few days later, after the handover of work, he went to report to the Army Aviation Command.

His next position was Interim Commander of the Army's Strategic Air Forces.

Unsurprisingly, he was promoted to lieutenant general of army aviation a few months later.

In addition, the establishment of an independent air force has already been decided.

Because the establishment of the Air Force was supported by Xue Yuanzheng, the commander-in-chief of the army did not oppose it again, but only believed that it was not appropriate to carry out such a large-scale military reform during the war, and suggested that it be divided into two steps. First of all, let the army aviation become an independent branch of the army and gain autonomy. After the army aviation has basically no problem operating independently, it will be considered to split it out and form a real air force.

Xue Yuanzheng has agreed in principle to adopt a two-step plan.

It is indeed not advisable to make too many changes to the existing military system in wartime, and in any case, the establishment of an air force will have an impact on millions of officers and soldiers.

The formation of the Air Force is likely to be postponed until after the end of the war, at least until the end of the war.

The first to be separated from the army is the strategic aviation unit that Li Yunxiang is about to command.

Compared with tactical aviation, strategic aviation is obviously more independent and has little to do with other units of the army, especially armored units, so letting the strategic aviation force become independent first will not have much impact on the army's combat operations and will not be resisted by officers and men.

Do not forget that the Imperial Army has been focusing on building tactical aviation for the past two decades, and strategic aviation has only emerged in recent years.

Here, Li Yunxiang told the truth about his return to the army airline.

Let him go back and serve as the interim commander of the strategic aviation forces, and there are two main points to be taken into account. One is his relationship with the current saint, that is, no matter what he says, he can be regarded as half a national relative, and if Fang Suqing can speak in front of the saint, he will also be able to have an impact on the army. The second is his relationship on the navy's side, that is, he knows admirals like Bai Zhizhan, and most of the admirals will give him face.

Is this still related to the Navy?

Under Bai Zhizhan's questioning, Li Yunxiang told the truth.

A group of pilots of the naval aviation will follow him back to the Army, and all of them will be negotiated, and he will return to the position of commander and issue the order.

In addition, in the future, it will definitely compete with the navy for resources.

In Li Yunxiang's words, it is to compete with the naval aviation for food.

In this regard, Li Yunxiang was very unhappy.

After all, Li Yunxiang is the main promoter of the strategic air force, and his ambition is to build a world-class strategic air force. When I first came to the Navy, I was really forced to do so, and to put it bluntly, I had nowhere to go, not that I wanted to take root in the Navy.

At the end of the conversation, Bai Zhizhan also got some very valuable news from Li Yunxiang.

Shen Pu and Zhu Huasheng did not brag, the army aviation did use special incendiary bombs, which received very good results in the battle on the Ice Storm Peninsula.

A few days earlier, the Army had organized hundreds of bombers to bomb shrimp houses in the western part of the country.

Incendiary bombs used!

There is nothing to say about the effect of the bombing, but the losses were very heavy, with more than 40 bombers shot down or damaged, and the battle loss rate was close to 8 percent.

As far as Li Yunxiang said, the main reason was that no fighter escort was arranged.

It was not the negligence of the army aviation, but the conditions did not allow it.

Whether at the southern tip of the Icestorm Peninsula or on Jedo, there is no airfield that is well-equipped and well-conditioned to deploy and support air forces.

Due to traffic restrictions, there's nothing to hope for on the Icestorm Peninsula.

To say, Jedo is more appropriate.

The airport in Jedo is by the sea, and there is a temporary dock built by the marines nearby, so only a few roads need to be built to take advantage of the advantages of sea transportation.

According to Li Yunxiang's intentions, the Army Airlines will take over Jedo as soon as possible and expand the airport in Jedo.

The problem is that it takes months.

In the next few months, the Navy will definitely need to help, and carrier-based fighters will be dispatched by aircraft carriers to provide cover for the bomber group.

However, the matter has not yet been decided.

In fact, there are only four aircraft carriers that the Navy can mobilize at present, and the "Hengjiang" must return to Hong Kong for repairs, and whether it can be repaired or not is another matter.

To say, the navy is now all mud bodhisattvas crossing the river.

On the other side of the Guia, the Nuland Navy has deployed five fleet carriers, and two smaller fleet carriers ready to reinforce the Guia.

In order to shorten the voyage, the Nuland Navy has moved the headquarters of the Guia Fleet to Treasure Harbor.

On the side of Fanyanyang, the Royal Navy of Bran will also send two fleet aircraft carriers over in the near future.

As expected, the Royal Navy will first strengthen the defense of Lion Springs, sending more combat aircraft to increase the intensity of activity in the direction of the Yanhai.

Even if four large aircraft carriers are put into service, the Imperial Navy may not be able to deploy aircraft carriers to support the ground aviation.

Of course, there is good news.

Chengfeng's "Fluctuating Line" has completed test runs and proved to be a very successful design capable of increasing the productivity of heavy bombers by a factor of ten.

More than 40 aircraft were produced in one month of trial production, almost four times the previous production.

After the Spring Festival holiday, the production line of Chengfeng Company will be officially launched.

Since then, 100 four-engine heavy bombers have been delivered to the Army every month!

This is also one of the reasons why Lu Airlines asked Li Yunxiang to go over immediately to take charge of the overall situation.

With Li Yunxiang coming forward, just the matter of purchasing bombers will save a lot of trouble, and Li Yunxiang knows how to use these heavy bombers.

The meal was eaten from early evening until midnight.

If it weren't for Zhou Yongtao to stop him, I'm afraid Bai Zhizhan and Li Yunxiang would have been drunk, and Jiang Haiyang would have been drunk in the first half.

There is no way to do this, he is bent on getting drunk, and no one can stop him.

He wanted to follow Li Yunxiang back to the army airline, but he showed his loyalty to Bai Zhizhan, and he couldn't just leave, so he kept drinking and drinking.

Bai Zhizhan is also very emotional.

If he could, he hoped that Li Yunxiang would stay, after all, Li Yunxiang was also the backbone of the Imperial Naval Aviation.

It's just that he also knows that Liu Yunxiang's ambition is the Air Force.

No matter what, you have to bless Li Yunxiang.
