"If you want me to say it, I'm afraid it will be more than a day's delay."

Zhou Yongtao was even more puzzled, and Li Mingbo also tightened his brows.

Bai Zhizhan smiled, and then said: "Because the best time to declare war has been missed, and an ultimatum has been issued, so unless we take the first shot, according to the laws of the Newland Federation, Lofus must obtain the war authorization given by Congress before this, even if it is a partial authorization, and then officially declare war on us." Even if the relevant legal procedures are simplified, it will take more than half a day to go down. ”

"Don't forget that there is still a time difference of more than ten hours." Li Mingbo followed.

Bai Zhizhan nodded, and said: "All these things are taken into account, except for letting the battleships engage in melee battles at night, otherwise the start of the war will have to be delayed until the day after tomorrow." ”

Zhou Yongtao didn't make a sound, only nodded, indicating that he had understood.

If it really has to be delayed until the day after tomorrow, even if Bai Zhizhan is still in the imperial capital now, he can return to the 41st Task Force after the big wedding and even the cave house.

Wait until Bai Zhizhan comes back before starting the fight?

If this is the case, then there is no reason to set the time for the war to start before the Chung Yeung Festival.

It would have been a good idea to start a few months ago.

So why is Lofos so complicated?

Or is the situation just too much more than Lofos expected, and he was forced to do it?

"You're saying someone leaked your ......"

"It wasn't necessarily someone who leaked it, maybe Lofus was suspicious and made a similar inference, and from this I believe that it would be more advantageous to delay it for a day or two."

"This ......"

"With an extra day, those patrol planes deployed on Koh Wai have a greater chance of finding us."

Zhou Yongtao nodded, of course he understood this truth.

"Lofos will certainly tell Nitsu about this speculation, and Nitsu will definitely inform the front-line commanders. If Spu had commanded the fleet and had decided that it was me who commanded Task Force 41, then the first thing that would have occurred to him would have been that we were southeast of the Volcanic Islands. As for the Ecstasy Array we have placed, even if it has a slight effect, it will be temporary, and it will definitely not be able to keep Spu cowering. ”

"He's more cautious when the situation is unclear."

"The premise is that it can be delayed until the day after tomorrow."

Hearing Bai Zhizhan say this, Zhou Yongtao was stunned again, because it was Bai Zhizhan who proposed that it might be delayed until the day after tomorrow.

"Don't forget, there's also Task Force 21. Not to mention a day or two nights, even one night, Task Force 21 will be able to slip away. If it is delayed until the day after tomorrow, the probability of annihilating the two aircraft carrier task forces will definitely be smaller, so the possibility of a war tomorrow is extremely high. ”

This time, Bai Zhizhan did not let Zhou Yongtao interject.

"If we don't find us today, then whoever is in command of the task force in the south will be the main purpose of annihilating the 21st task force by tomorrow morning. In my guess, Spark will be heading northwest this evening, i.e., toward the waters where Task Force 21 is located. If nothing happens, he will send reconnaissance planes to search for Task Force 21 by dawn tomorrow. ”

"There are also patrol aircraft deployed on the island of Wai." Li Mingbo added.

Bai Zhizhan nodded, and then said: "Tonight, the aircraft carrier task force that was still operating near the transport fleet will go south. ”

"Why?" Li Mingbo asked for Zhou Yongtao.

"Come and deal with us." Zhou Yongtao has already understood. "We have not shown up, in order to achieve the effect of the surprise attack, Sp will take the initiative to go forward to attack the 21st task force in place of Frye, Frye must move to the rear of Sp early tomorrow morning, provide air defense cover for Sp, ensure that Spu will not be ambushed by us when attacking Liu Xiangzhen, and send reconnaissance planes to search for us."

Li Mingbo frowned, or he didn't understand it at once.

"The point is, Frye has been exposed, so Liu Xiangzhen will definitely target him tomorrow morning, that is, after the ultimatum expires. When the battle starts, then Liu Xiangzhen will attack at the first time. According to our previous tactics, Liu Xiangzhen was not sure that he would have sent a group of attack planes before the reconnaissance planes discovered the 17th Task Force, thus saving time for preparation and being able to advance the attack to about 8 a.m. ”

"This ......"

"Also consider Task Force 42." "The ultimatum expires before dawn, and if Lofos declares us engaged before then, the battle will begin on the side of Task Force 42," he said. It's a pity that there is only an hour before dawn, so the decisive battle of the fleet, in which the battleships play the main role, will definitely not be declared over before dawn. ”

"In this case, we will have to consider providing support and cover for Task Force 42."

"It's the same on both sides."

Li Mingbo nodded.

"At this point, Sp has no other choice at all, he must hit the force to take out the 21st Task Force, at most, after gaining air supremacy, temporarily let the 42nd Task Force and the 43rd Task Force go together. By the afternoon, it wasn't impossible for Frye to pick up the spills. ”

"So, we should stay here."

After Li Mingbo said this, Bai Zhizhan and Zhou Yongtao did not answer.

Staying where you are is the safest, but also the least aggressive.

Even if the fleet under the command of Sp could be found tomorrow morning, and the attack was successfully launched, there would be no way to deal with Frye hiding behind.

The key is that Spu is in front.

Winning the battle was just a matter of taking out the task force commanded by Sp.

Seeing that things were not right, Frye would definitely turn to retreat.

This is a victory, but it is not a complete victory pursued by Bai Zhizhan.

What's more, Sp is definitely not so easy to deal with, and it may be a lose-lose situation.

If Liu Xiangzhen hadn't come forward actively tonight, he might not have been able to seize the opportunity to kill Frye after Bai Zhizhan fought for Sp.

To say, Liu Xiangzhen is a bit similar to Fryzhen, both are cautious.

The release of two fleet aircraft carriers will have a great impact on the next combat operations.

As long as it is possible, it is necessary to strive to annihilate the Nuland Navy in one fell swoop, at least to destroy all the fleet carriers.

"We still have to go south," Bai Zhizhan said after pondering for a while, "but not in the afternoon, but in the evening, not to the south, but to the southeast." ”

"Just rush over?"

Bai Zhizhan nodded, but did not say anything further.

The reason is also very simple, if you run too fast at night, it is equivalent to fighting the Nuland fleet.

It's not that I'm afraid of death, but I can't take this step until the last resort, and I have to come up with a more secure way.

Besides, for the matter of killing 1,000 enemies and inflicting 800 self-losses, Bai Zhizhan has never cut down.

Even if there is a risk of complete defeat, he will try to win it completely.

"We may be able to learn from the Narrow-Sized Navy."

Bai Zhizhan frowned, and looked at Zhou Yongtao with doubts.

"The battle to intercept the convoy of troop carriers in the Guia." Zhou Yongtao didn't explain much, only reminded Bai Zhizhan.

Bai Zhizhan's brow jumped a few times, and then he laughed.

To say, it is still young people who have flexible brains, and they are particularly bold, and they have no gateway views, so they can think of such an unbelievable method at once.
