Before dawn, Bai Zhizhan was woken up by the non-stop ringing of the phone.

Zhou Yongtao called, saying that there was an urgent matter and was on his way.

While he was still washing, Zhou Yongtao arrived and brought two breakfasts to the restaurant, as well as some toiletries for travel.

After getting into the car, Zhou Yongtao told Bai Zhizhan that the Narrow Emperor had announced his surrender more than an hour earlier.

Broadcast through the radio, the whole world knows.

It was very sudden, and there was no warning before.

When he arrived at the airport, Bai Zhizhan immediately called Liu Changxun.

The news has been confirmed that the Sayo Emperor has issued a surrender edict, but so far the Prime Minister of the Higashi-Sagi regime has not issued a statement.

In addition, the first assistant did not have to make a decision on whether to accept the surrender of the Eastern Sasa regime for the time being.

According to Liu Changxun's meaning, Bai Zhizhan stayed in Puzhou. If Shousuke accepts the surrender of the Eastern Satsui regime, he will go to accept the surrender on behalf of the Imperial Navy.

I can't say exactly how it will be arranged.

Perhaps, it is enough to let Niu Man and Zesan of the Western Sayi regime come forward, after all, the empire has already established diplomatic relations with it, and it is its de facto suzerainty.

As a result, the two drove back to the shipyard.

On the way, Zhou Yongtao gave a general account of the situation of the "Longjiang".

Li Mingbo found Gui Boyong and solved a lot of troubles, and Xue Yuanzheng personally inquired about the matter, and the maintenance work had started as planned.

It's just that it will take half a month at the earliest.

After the restoration, it will be returned to the Puzhou shipyard for inspection.

According to the current assessment, it would be nice to fix it before November 15th.

The repair work of the "Luhe" is relatively smooth, and it is expected to be repaired before November 10, and it can be rebuilt together with the "Longjiang".

Other things, such as the daily training of the fleet and the air force, Li Mingbo has already made arrangements.

The two didn't go to the hotel, but went straight to the ship design institute and found Zhao Yu.

The news of the Emperor's edict of surrender had already spread, and although the morning newspaper did not have time to publish it, many radio stations were broadcasting it.

It's a day to remember.

October 22, 100 years of the imperial calendar.

Nine months and 25 days after the war was launched, the initiator of the Second Global War, one of the main sources of the Great Land War and the Guia War, launched the war with a shameless sneak attack, resulting in the defeat of the Narrow Imperial State, which was devastated by the war for billions of people around the world.

Although the defeat of the Narrow-Sized Imperial Kingdom was expected, even Bai Zhizhan felt that this result came very suddenly.

Before the outbreak of the Great War, no one would have believed that the Imperial State of Narrowness, known as the fourth in the world, would be defeated in less than a year!

During the last war, the Luosha Empire, which was sandwiched between the Liangxia Empire and the Juman Empire, was able to hold out for four years!

In terms of foundation, especially industrial strength, the Luosha Empire at that time was definitely not as good as the current Narrow Imperial State.

However, this also proves from one side that it is not only industry that determines a country's war strength, even if it is mainly industry.

Based on the experience of the last war, some people estimated before the war that when the war broke out again, several of the major belligerents would be able to hold out until the end of the war.

In addition, there are those who believe that the next big battle will still not be decided. In the end, it is likely that none of the belligerents can afford to be under great attrition and have to compromise with each other to end the war by signing an armistice without achieving complete victory.

The reason is also very simple, modern warfare based on the industrial system is very costly, and even the industrial powers cannot afford it.

The one most influenced by this view was the Rock Republic.

The huge casualties and attrition made this powerful country, which once stood out from the crowd and dominated the Western Continent for hundreds of years, put down its posture and took the initiative to shake hands with the enemy and reconcile!

If anything, the fear of war of attrition is also a key factor in the sustaining of peace for 20 years.

In any case, a year ago, no one expected that the Imperial Diet would be defeated within a year.

The Narrow Imperial State only held out for 10 months, what about the other powers?

This is what Bai Zhizhan is most worried about.

Hearing the news from Zhou Yongtao, Bai Zhizhan immediately realized that the sudden defeat of the Narrow Yi Imperial Kingdom was the last straw that broke the camel's back!

That's right, this "camel" is the Luosha Federation with an ape!

The defeat and surrender of the Narrow Imperial State had the first effect of promoting the rebellion of the Luosha Federation. Don't forget, the Rosa Federation had to declare war on the 23rd. Maybe it won't be tomorrow, sometime today, the leaders of the Luosha Federation will suddenly officially declare war on the Liangxia Empire and the Riman Empire!

The point, is this a coincidence?

Before and after, there is only this one day.

Even if the Liangxia Empire and the Juman Empire were prepared, it would be absolutely impossible for them to turn their focus to the Luosha Federation in this short day.

Who can guarantee that there is a connection between the two incidents?

If the two events are causal, it means that the Rosa Federation may have been prepared to attack as soon as war was declared.

Of course, it's the Blitz Empire!

Fundamentally, the sudden announcement of the surrender of the Narrow-Yi Imperial State today is clearly attracting attention, at least leaving the Liang Xia Empire with no time to take care of anything else.

Although he is not an army general, Bai Zhizhan knows that Lian Xusheng has never been optimistic about the Manman Empire.

In his words, if the Empire can take the initiative, even if it is not sure of destroying the Luosha Federation, it can still seize the initiative, and consume the troops and resources of the Luosha Federation through the attack in the early stage of the war, so that the Luosha Federation will spend more time preparing for the counterattack.

Drag until the empire launches a strategic offensive, and that will be enough.

In other words, there is still some hope for taking the initiative to attack.

On the contrary, the Empire of the Empire will be defeated.

The reason is very simple: the territory of the Manman Empire is narrow, and there is no strategic depth at all!

It is precisely because of this that when formulating the strategic plan, Lian Xusheng has always emphasized that even if he can win over the Luosha Federation, he must also make offensive arrangements in the northwest.

The situation is arguably more sinister.

The Empire had not yet completed its mobilization, not to be precise, and at least half of its main army forces were in the western regions of the Western Continent.

Prior to this, the Empire was still preparing to enter the Xuan Continent.

Even if they have begun to adjust their deployment and gather troops in the eastern region, it will not be enough to resist the attack of Luo Sha's army.

In addition, Lian Xusheng has not set off yet.

Although Xue Yuanzheng had already arranged for him to go to the Empire, he planned to leave on the 24th, that is, two days later.

Now it seems that Lian Xusheng may not be able to go to the Manman Empire.

Even if you have to go, you have to go around a big circle, and whether you can get there smoothly is a problem.

There is also a point that the deployment of the Imperial Army in the north-western direction is also not in place.

If the Rosa Federation launched an offensive in the next few days, what the Imperial Army could do was to launch several small-scale tactical offensives in the border area. Because they were not sure of seizing the vital railway bridge and controlling the railway to Yebao, the Imperial Army would most likely stand still.

It can be seen that the Manman Empire is more than lucky!

In a few months' time, will the Empire become the second country to be defeated?

What must be done to save this only ally?

When thinking about these questions, Bai Zhizhan really understood the arrangement of Xue Yuan's expedition, that is, why he wanted to attack Guan Island within the year.

If it really has to be delayed until next year, I'm afraid even the daylily will be cold!
