Back at home, Bai Zhizhan finally slept comfortably.

Still, it's one night.

The next day, he and Zhang Xiaoqing went to the inner palace to visit the queen mother, who had been bedridden for several months.

During this period, Zhang Xiaoqing mentioned to him about moving.

According to the rules of the Imperial Navy, after Bai Zhizhan got married, he was assigned a set of official residences, which had also been renovated and could be moved over at any time.

Zhang Xiaoqing's meaning is that Bai Zhizhan's main identity is the rear admiral of the Imperial Navy and the commander of the fleet, so it is more appropriate to move into the Navy Residence.

In this regard, Bai Zhizhan did not object, but it didn't help much, and it was up to Zhang Xiaoqing to handle it himself.

In fact, Zhang Xiaoqing proposed to move, mainly because he wanted to take Bai Zhizhan's parents over.

Because Bai Zhizhan did not object, Zhang Xiaoqing did not dwell on this matter, but just listened to Bai Zhizhan's suggestion and waited for the Queen Mother's condition to stabilize.

There are a lot of things going on at home, and you have to come one by one, and moving is obviously not the most important thing.

In the evening, the two went to visit Li Yunxiang and his wife.

If you want to say anything, in the imperial capital, as long as Bai Zhizhan has something, he will think of Li Yunxiang, and on major matters, he will consult Li Yunxiang.

This time too.

Although it achieved a tactical victory, sank three Nuland aircraft carriers, and severely damaged one, the Imperial Navy also suffered heavy losses, and for the time being, only the "Companion Jing" was still able to fight, and even the "Longjiang" may not be completely repaired until the beginning of next year.

Relying only on one or two aircraft carriers, it will certainly not be possible to enter the southwestern and eastern seas as planned.

Attacking Guan Island is a problem.

What's more, the Bran Kingdom has declared war on the Empire, and will soon send an expeditionary fleet with aircraft carriers as the core to the Fanyan Ocean, and even enter the Yanhai Sea.

So, what's next?

Or what kind of adjustments should be made to the strategic plan?

How much is involved in this?

Obviously, this is the main reason why Bai Zhizhan came to visit Li Yunxiang.

If I have to go to the Navy Headquarters tomorrow, I will definitely have to inquire about the news in advance, so as not to ask questions and not know anything when I get it.

To say that there is no impact is a strange thing!

After dinner, the two went upstairs to the study.

"Speaking of which, you don't have to worry too much." Li Yunxiang brought Bai Zhizhan a cup of coffee. However, it is customary to rarely drink coffee after dinner. "The outcome of this naval battle did not exceed Shousuke's expectations, or it was completely in Shousuke's plan."

"What do you mean by that?" Bai Zhizhan frowned, feeling that Li Yunxiang was comforting him.

Before the start of the war, Xue Yuanzheng repeatedly emphasized how important it was to defeat the Nuland Navy in the first battle and preserve its own strength.

Otherwise, how could Bai Zhizhan and Liu Xiangzhen be in command at the same time?

"Don't forget, the Nuland Federation is the Empire's number one enemy. Don't say that Shousuke, who has been a civilian several times, will definitely not believe that we can defeat the Nuland Navy in one fell swoop. Besides, the Nuland Navy is prepared, and it would be nice if we could achieve a limited victory. ”

Hearing Li Yunxiang say this, Bai Zhizhan sighed.

There's nothing wrong with saying that, but can you really think so?

"If you really want to say it, it's already very good to have such a result. At least for now, the Nuland Navy is no more than that. ”

"What do you mean?" Bai Zhizhan heard that Li Yunxiang's words had another meaning.

"You've been to the caves, and you must know that the Luosha Federation has always been reluctant when it comes to the tripartite alliance. If it weren't for the very attractive price we offered, such as recognizing the great power status of the Lockham Federation and supporting its southward expansion, I am afraid that we would not have been able to talk about it at all. ”

Bai Zhizhan didn't say anything, waiting for Li Yunxiang to continue.

Let's put aside the conspiracy theories first, just talk about personal feelings, including Bai Zhizhan, the vast majority of the imperial military and civilians have no good impression of the Luosha Federation.

The reconciliation that followed the end of the last war was only forced by circumstances.

"We now have enough reason to believe that it is very likely that the Locksa Federation and the Newland Federation are also secretly talking about forming an alliance, and it has been going on for a long time."

"Got any definite information?" After asking, Bai Zhizhan let out a long breath.

"Not yet, but the Sixth Bureau has been working hard, and the alarm has been sounded a long time ago, let's not trust the Luosha Federation too much."

"What do you think of Shousuke?"

Bai Zhizhan did not comment much on Li Yunxiang's statement, because as far as he knew, Wang Kaiyuan, the people of the six bureaus, were the microphones of the Praetorian Guard.

From their standpoint, of course, they would like to start a war with the Luosha Federation.

"Steady as long as you can."

Hearing Li Yunxiang say this, Bai Zhizhan couldn't help but sigh.

Obviously, Xue Yuanzheng was also very ambivalent in his attitude towards the Luosha Federation.

From a strategic point of view, Xue Yuanzheng definitely hoped to join forces with the Manman Empire to destroy the Luosha Federation. Even if a buffer zone was needed between the two countries to maintain good relations with the Riman Empire, it could be split into two states after the victory over the Raksha Federation.

All in all, the existence of the Luosha Federation is a huge threat in itself.

In addition, the Luosha Federation also did not treat the Liangxia Empire as an ally.

After the signing of the Treaty of Alliance, even now, the Rosa Federation has not rescinded the declaration made at the time of its establishment refusing to recognize all unequal treaties.

According to this statement, the Luosha Federation did not recognize the border treaties signed with the Liangxia Empire during the imperial period.

That is, the Federation of Rosa considers the "area east of Yenise-Balkash" to remain its territory!

In reality, it is definitely necessary to maintain the relationship with the Luosha Federation.

Don't look at Xue Yuanzheng as "Iron-blooded Shousuke", but no matter how powerful a person is, he must follow the times and trends.

After the victory of Yebao, even Emperor Shiwu had to admit that he could not dominate the world in his lifetime, so he signed an armistice treaty with the Luosha Empire.

Now, with the Kingdom of Bran declaring war on the Empire, the sea route with the Riman Empire has been completely cut off, and it is no longer possible to import oil from Posha Bay, and it is even more necessary to have a good relationship with the Locke Federation.

In fact, when Li Yunxiang mentioned the Luosha Federation, Bai Zhizhan understood what he meant.

If it was the Nuland Navy that won the victory in the Northwest and Guia Ocean, I am afraid that the Luosha Federation would have turned against the water before the White Stop War led the fleet back to Naqiu Harbor.

Because the Nuland Navy suffered a defeat, the Luosha Federation, which saw the wind and made the rudder, did not dare to mess around for the time being.

If you want to say it, it is not impossible to provoke the Liangxia Empire and the Juman Empire, and it is not impossible to join forces to destroy the Luosha Federation first.

It is naturally best to be able to stabilize the Luosha Federation.

What if it can't be stabilized?

As long as there is a possibility that the Luosha Federation will be able to turn against the water, the empire will have to be prepared in the direction of the mainland.

As a result, it is necessary to adjust the strategy in the direction of the Guia.

Obviously, Li Yunxiang directly mentioned this matter, in fact, he was hinting at Bai to stop the war.

Xue Yuanzheng must have been prepared for a long time.

If you're not prepared, that's a strange thing.

It's never strange to be more prepared strategically.

In Xue Yuanzheng's words, a good politician will always leave a way out for himself.

Perhaps, a few months ago, that is, before he began to plan the Battle of the Northwest Guia Sea, Xue Yuanzheng had already expected the current result.

Shousuke has already made a decision, and he will definitely make adjustments to the strategy of the navy, so it is better not to be a bird and not be used as a gun by others.
