"Still haven't figured it out?"

Because he had already eaten some earlier, the hunger dared to be no longer so obvious, so Bai Zhizhan did not gobble it up anymore and returned to his usual appearance.

Regardless, he is still an imperial colt, and his every move is in the spotlight.

After marrying the eldest princess, Bai Zhizhan received special etiquette training, saying that he would have to go out in public in the future and not lose the face of the royal family.

Li Mingbo was silent, he knew when to remain silent.

"In fact, everyone from Lofos to Spur can imagine that as long as the oil problem is solved, we will challenge the entire alliance group, even if we don't have a single ally. Therefore, at the strategic level, the capture of Posha Bay is our bottom line and a task that must be completed. ”

Li Mingbo nodded, but didn't say much.

These are open secrets and are not controversial.

"The point is, it's the least thing to worry about. After taking control of Sri Lanka and the Maldives, only Task Force 11 was needed to capture Posha Bay. Even in the longer term, it would only be necessary to capture a few military positions in the Van Luo area and arrange for enough escort ships. At best, we have to make the fleet sail as close to the coastline as possible, which leads to longer routes and higher transportation costs. It's just that from a strategic point of view, the impact on us is almost completely negligible. ”

"According to you, the Nuland Navy is doing useless work?"

"Isn't it?"

Li Mingbo frowned.

"According to the current situation, the most favorable outcome that the Alliance can achieve is to force the Empire, the Kingdom of Raleigh, and the Republic of There to withdraw from the Entente Bloc, or to cease military operations. However, it is also possible to defeat the Empire by military means. There is only one point, and the efforts made have very little impact on us, and they are far from enough to turn the tide of the war. ”

"The problem is, the people up there don't see it that way."

"You think Shousuke can't see clearly?"

"This ......"

Bai Zhizhan let out a long breath and said: "Up to now, it has always been Liu Changxun who has been contacting us, and Shoufu has never put pressure on us, even if there are instructions, they are all forwarded through the Navy Command, indicating that they do not want us to adjust the battle plan. ”

Li Mingbo's expression became more solemn, but he did not refute.

Although he is the chief of staff of the fleet, Li Mingbo can be said to know little about the first assistant, so he does not have much say on related topics.

"As for the commander-in-chief, in fact, it is the same, he gives orders, which is nothing more than fulfilling his duty."

"If that's the case, we'll have to continue attacking the Transit Island." When he said this, Li Mingbo was obviously not very sure.

"If it's that simple, it needs to be so painstaking?"

"How should that be done?"

"My idea is that it's better to do what you want, and it's not wrong to say that it's going with the flow."

When Bai Zhizhan said this, Li Mingbo kept scratching his scalp, obviously not understanding what he meant.

"These small actions of the Nuland Navy, without exception, are all aimed at ending our operations on the Transit Island and sending a fleet to the Fanyan Ocean and the Luxin Sea to eliminate or alleviate the threat to the Howaii Islands. In the longer term, it is to force us to march into the southwestern and eastern seas, and fight with us here to gain time to complete strategic mobilization and recover our vitality and rebuild our fleet. ”

"Then we're more ......"

Bai Zhizhan suppressed his hand, stopped Li Mingbo's words, and then said: "I dare to bet with you, those two fleet aircraft carriers have already left Lu Xinhai and may be on their way to the Wangxi Canal." It is also very likely that the broken fleet commanded by Sp is on its way back to the southwestern and southwestern gazes. It's just that when the two fleet aircraft carriers will pass through the Wangxi Canal and when the broken fleet will return to the southwest and east will depend on our side. ”

"After we've made adjustments?"

Bai Zhizhan nodded and said, "Only after getting conclusive information that we have given up attacking the transit island, or at least withdrawn the task force, will the Nuland Navy take the next step." If I'm not mistaken, Sp will return to the Khowaii Islands with the fleet and attack our landing fleet. ”

"In that case, we'll have to end the fighting on Transit Island as soon as possible, and if necessary, we'll even have to consider withdrawing the marines."

"It's too explicit to do that."

"......"

"Don't forget, we have 4 small aircraft carriers."

"That's no match for the Nuland fleet either, so we're more ......"

"Speculation aside, how can we conclude that the Nuland fleet will attack Transit Island? Don't tell me to abandon strategically important offensive operations based on speculation. ”

Li Mingbo was stunned, obviously taken aback.

"Besides, we've made so many efforts, and the Marines have successfully landed, are we losing all our efforts because we are worried about a sneak attack? No matter how you look at it, it is impossible to give up at this time, but it is necessary to make a final effort to capture the transit island before the Nuland Navy returns to the division. ”

"It's not that easy."

"That's what we thought when we marched into Lion Springs."

"That's Lion Springs City, it's ......"

"If I really want to say it, what I'm most worried about now is whether the guards can take the lead alone."

"Are you going to ...... Let Task Force 22 stay? ”

Bai Zhizhan glanced at Li Mingbo, but didn't say anything.

Li Mingbo immediately understood that Bai Zhizhan's arrangement was completely contrary to his guess.

"No matter what, there is also Liu Xiangzhen over there. Before attacking Liuhuang Island, Wei Jun cooperated with Liu Xiangzhen, and the two should have no problem cooperating. ”

"It has nothing to do with it."

Bai Zhizhan said so, and Li Mingbo closed his mouth in amusement.

Although the relationship between the two has not yet developed to the bottom of incompatibility, everyone understands the truth that "one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers".

It is precisely because of this that everyone generally avoids mentioning Liu Xiangzhen in front of Bai Zhizhan.

The only one who dared to speak like this in front of Bai Zhizhan was Li Mingbo.

For others, even Zhou Yongtao would not dare to be so direct.

It's just that Li Mingbo is very measured.

Being able to speak out in the face of Bai Zhizhan does not mean that you can act recklessly.

"The opponent must have two task forces, with a total of 5 aircraft carriers of 2 large and 3 small, and the supreme commander is still Sp, so no matter how you look at it, just relying on the 21st task force, the chances of victory are not great. The guards are also veterans, and their ability to grasp the situation of the battle will not be too bad. After making this judgment, will he act strictly according to the plan? If he feels like he needs to make adjustments, what kind of impact will that have? ”

When Bai Zhizhan said this, Li Mingbo also frowned.

Obviously, this is a very serious problem indeed.

"No matter what, that's all I can do." Bai Zhizhan sighed and said, "There may be other ways, but this is the safest and most reliable way I can think of now." If I had to take a risk, I'd rather take a gamble. ”

"Do you want to call a meeting of the staff officers?"

Bai Zhizhan stared at Li Mingbo for a while before nodding slightly.

Li understood that he didn't ask any more, and he didn't need to ask more.

It's all at this time, and it's definitely better to have a way than no way!
