Chapter 157: Communiqué Personal Vendetta
"Lao Tzu has long said that none of the people surnamed Liu are good things!"
Although it had been heard from a long distance, it was only when Li Mingbo approached that Bai Zhizhan turned around.
"See for yourself."
Actually, Bai Zhizhan didn't ask at all and didn't say anything. Li Mingbo's angry appearance was mostly made for others to see.
A telegram forwarded by the command of the Navy.
Liu Xiangbin, commander of the Ashishima garrison, went to the Naval Air Station of the Lotus Military Port and ordered that all planes should be forbidden to take to the air, and the 1st Carrier-based Air Wing failed to dispatch reconnaissance planes before 3 p.m. as deployed. Although the Navy Command has sent a telegram back, asking the Ashishima garrison to unconditionally support the combat operations of the First Carrier-based Aviation Wing, and that the Lotus Military Port should make arrangements as soon as possible, there is no guarantee that the reconnaissance plane will be able to take off on time.
If you want to say it, it's just one sentence.
The county magistrate is not as good as the current management.
After the Navy Command gave the order, Liu Xiangbin could still find objective reasons to prevaricate and create other troubles for the First Carrier-based Aviation Wing.
Is this guy an undercover agent sent by the enemy?
If he is not surnamed Liu, but is still the great-great-grandson of Liu Zhentang, the prince of Haikun, I really suspect that he is a spy who took the advantage of the enemy and worked for the enemy in secret.
After reading the message, Bai Zhizhan was also in full swing.
If Liu Xiangbin was here, he would definitely punch him over, and he would use all his strength, and it would never count if he didn't knock out a few big teeth.
It's just that Bai Zhizhan didn't show the anger in his heart.
After 20 years in the navy, especially when he often dealt with high-level officials, and there were examples such as Zhu Shijian, He Yongxing, and Gui Boyong, Bai Zhizhan had long since developed the skill of being indistinguishable from mood. Even if you haven't reached the level of duplicity, there is nothing wrong with controlling your emotions.
Could this be Liu Xiangbin's personal vendetta in the communiqué?
Apparently not, at least not only!
Yesterday, Bai Zhizhan had this concern.
On the 25th and 26th, Liu Xiangzhen commanded a special task force with four fleet aircraft carriers, and after two bitter battles, after paying a heavy price of one sinking and one wounded, it was possible to annihilate the mobile fleet, to be precise, sinking four fleet aircraft carriers.
Even if it can't be said that Bai Zhizhan is better than Liu Xiangzhen, it can be regarded as equal.
The key point is that the task force had already returned home on the night of the 26th, which was equivalent to withdrawing from the battle, while the Third Air Task Force led by Bai Zhizhan was still fighting.
In addition, the Third Air Task Force did not return to the Sea of Flames, but entered the Guia Ocean!
What is this? The sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea is wide with the dragon!
Based on the performance of the Third Air Task Force on the 26th, it is really true that Bai Zhizhan will let go of it, and it is guaranteed that he will be able to overthrow the entire narrow navy.
What's more, the 1st Carrier Aviation Wing went to Ashima.
We must not forget that the First Air Task Force and the First Carrier-based Air Wing are the direct units of the White Stop War, and they obey the orders of the White War of the White War.
To put it bluntly, the 1st Carrier-based Aviation Wing left on Ashishima is the reserve in the hands of Bai Zhizhan, which can be used to replenish the lost carrier-based aviation at any time. If you encounter a difficult enemy, such as Takano's No. 1 main team, you can also use it as your main attack force.
With the reserve force, Bai Zhizhan is fearless, who can stop his progress!?
All of these are seen as threats.
That's right, it's a threat to Liu Xiangzhen!
Even if Liu Xiangzhen didn't participate, he was so arrogant, and he would definitely not be able to use the means of the next three indiscriminate, but the people of the Liu family would definitely not be able to get out of it.
Besides, Liu Xiangbin originally had contradictions with Bai Zhizhan, and he was still a well-known-stirring stick.
Let him come forward, and after the explosion, he can only be involved in the personal conflict between him and Bai Zhizhan, so after the situation got out of control, Liu Changxun had to come forward.
From another point of view, this is tantamount to putting a blank end to the war.
Ignoring the overall situation for the sake of personal conflicts?
If Bai Zhizhan wants to talk about this, he will be considered to have no overall view, so before the battle is over, no matter how resentful he is, he can only endure it.
Thinking of this, Bai Zhizhan's stomach was overturned.
But what can it be?
"Report!"
The telecommunications officer shouted, but was immediately stopped by Li Mingbo.
After handing over the telegram to Li Mingbo, the telecommunications officer ran away with great interest.
Two telegrams received at the same time.
One is from the Lotus Military Port, which is filmed and sent using the garrison's radio station, but the fleet communication code is used, and the payment is Zhu Huasheng and Shenpu.
It's still an alias, it must be the two of them.
As for the content, not good news.
Arrangements have been made for six Exocets to carry out reconnaissance missions. It's a pity that because the refueling equipment failed, other carrier-based aircraft could not be dispatched for the time being. What's worse is that there are no repairmen in the Lotus Military Port, so they may not be able to prepare for the attack before dark.
It's just that the two also made a guarantee.
Tonight will definitely solve the problem, and leave the Lotus Military Port with the group early tomorrow morning.
Another telegram, again from the command of the Navy.
At the beginning, a radio listening station deployed on the Empire's mainland intercepted a signal from a longwave radio suspected to be the "Gate". Because the duration is too short, in addition to the triangular positioning, it is not certain that the "gate" will be sent for the time being.
It is also possible that its sister ship "Luo".
Of course, the sea area where the signal appeared was mentioned in the message.
Bai Zhizhan didn't ask much, and walked directly to the chart table.
When Li Mingbo was following along, he also asked a staff officer to go below and called Li Yunxiang and Zhou Yongtao up, and they were arranging tasks for the pilots.
The location mentioned in the telegram is just east of Ashidajima.
To be precise, it is ten degrees north-east of the Lotus Military Port, a distance of almost 400 kilometers.
This position, as well as the time of power generation, is completely consistent with the speculation before the White Stop, and the shortest route taken by the first main team.
Since taking the shortest route, it must be sailing at full speed.
According to the fastest speed that the "Gate" class can achieve, the first main team is expected to reach the Overwatch Strait at around 1 am on the 28th.
It's a little late, but it's timely.
It's just that it's still too far away for the Third Air Task Force.
More than 600 kilometers in a straight line!
Even if they turn around immediately and approach at full speed, and set the attack time at dusk, the attack group will have a sortie distance of more than 500 kilometers!
Do not forget that the sortie phase is a heavy load flight, fuel consumption is much higher.
In addition, even if they flew to Ashishima after completing the mission, the return voyage would be close to 500 kilometers, which was not much closer than returning to the Third Air Task Force.
To say, it also saves the trouble of landing at night.
Either way, this means that after the attack, there will be no carrier-based aircraft available for the Third Air Task Force, except for a small number of anti-aircraft fighters.
If carrier-based aircraft are to be replenished, the radio silence must be broken.
Is it worth it?
The ten or so hours of the night are certainly not so easy to pass, and no one dares to guarantee that they can sit back and relax.
Tomorrow, if there is a more important task, what will you do?
Also, why did Takano send a telegram at this time?
He couldn't have been unaware that the move would reveal his whereabouts, or he wouldn't have been silent on the radio until then.
So, what was the important reason for him to send a telegram!? d
