Gao Ye couldn't sit still, and Bai Zhizhan was no better.

Although when he received the order, he deliberately behaved calmly and asked the officers and soldiers to recuperate, but after returning to the commander's cabin, Bai Zhizhan slept for less than two hours before he was awakened by an unlucky nightmare, and then he couldn't sleep at all.

What made him laugh and cry was that after waking up completely, he couldn't remember the content of the nightmare.

If you can remember, maybe you can find a dream interpreter who knows how to interpret it.

After staying up until midnight, it was estimated that it was almost time for supper, so Bai Zhizhan went to the officer's cafeteria located at the bottom of the ship island and ordered a small rice ball.

The restaurant is mainly open to pilots, it is not too big, and not many people usually come here to eat.

In fact, it is mainly separated by a hangar equivalent to three decks, and it is not very convenient to climb several decks to get here from the inside of the hull.

After eating, he asked for another cup of coffee, and Bai Zhizhan went to the commander's bridge located at the front of the ship island.

The "Imperial Capital" class is a fleet aircraft carrier designed and built in strict accordance with the treaty restrictions after the signing of the "Hwaseong Treaty" and the "Luntai Treaty".

Strictly speaking, it was the first fleet aircraft carrier of the Imperial Navy.

The reason is also very simple, after the expiration of the treaty, the Imperial Navy immediately renovated the four "Longjiang" class ships, installed many things that had been saved in the past to reduce tonnage, and only the armor increased by about 6,000 tons, and the standard displacement soared directly to more than 35,000 tons. As a result, according to the standards of the post-treaty era, all four "Longjiang" class ships are classified as large aircraft carriers.

Compared with the "Longjiang" class, the most striking feature of the "Imperial Capital" class in appearance is that the ship island is closer to the bow of the ship, and the size is a large circle smaller.

In fact, this is mainly due to the reduction in the size of the chimney.

In order to solve the problem of insufficient space inside the island, the layout of the cabins was adjusted and optimized during the design, and a suspended layer was added under the island, so as to move some cabins that did not need to be left in the island, and free up more space for several bridges.

It is precisely because of this that the bridge of the commander of the "Imperial Capital" class is much wider than that of the "Longjiang" class.

When Bai Zhizhan arrived, only a few staff officers were on duty, and Li Mingbo was dozing off in the position of chief of staff, with a stack of messages in front of him.

"Will ......"

Bai Zhizhan stopped the staff officer who was about to say hello and told him not to make a noise and not to wake up Li Mingbo.

The staff officer was also very knowledgeable, and knew that Li Mingbo was tired a long time ago, otherwise he would not have fallen asleep while sitting.

Bai Zhizhan walked over lightly, and then gently picked up the neatly stacked messages.

All of them were received after he went to rest, and most of them had already been approved, which was not a matter of importance, otherwise Li Mingbo would not dare to arbitrarily exercise his power.

Almost all of them were messages from the Navy Command, the Southern Fleet, and the Home Fleet.

The Navy Command had confirmed the previous inference that the Imperial Kingdom would never surrender, and that there would definitely be a decisive battle tomorrow.

In this regard, Bai Zhizhan was not surprised.

It's strange that the Imperial Kingdom of Narrowness is going to give in like this!

Don't forget, since the army led by the god of war Chen Bingxun to open the country with heavy artillery, the whole of the Narrow Yi Imperial Kingdom regarded the victory over the Liang Xia Empire as a sign of revival. In a sense, it was for this reason that the Imperial Kingdom would stab the Emperor in the back in the latter part of the last war.

Now that he has finally turned over and become the master, will he be caught?

In the words of those narrow-minded people who like to go to extremes, even if the jade is burned, they will definitely not succumb to the obscenity of the Liang Xia Empire again.

The home fleet, to be precise, sent a message from the port of Matsudachi. The main detachment of the home fleet had already set out, and in accordance with the temporarily revised plan, that is, the requirements of the White Stop War, it had taken two fast battleships that had not been listed, and was rushing to the Watchman Strait at full speed.

Accompanying the main detachment was the aircraft carrier "Sea Dragon".

Fortunately, the four capital ships of the home fleet could not run fast, and the "Sea Dragon" could still keep up.

Because it was not equipped with catapults and the flight deck was not long enough, the "Sea Dragon" carried only twenty fighters and could only provide anti-aircraft cover for the main detachment.

It is precisely like this, even if it is smooth sailing, the home fleet will not be able to reach the Watchman Strait until the early morning of the day after tomorrow.

By that time, the flowers will be gone!

Of course, the home fleet itself is responsible for feints, as a suspicious force, not the main force that decides the outcome of the battle, at most responsible for receiving the task force after the decisive battle.

If the decisive battle goes well, the Home Fleet will be responsible for controlling the Watchman Strait and preventing the Sasai from sending additional ground troops to the Sadou Islands to the north and south.

To say, only those two fast battleships have a little bit of value.

According to the adjustments made 10 days ago, the two fast battleships, accompanied by four light cruisers, will enter the Guia Ocean directly from the north of Foot Island and sail south along the east coast of Foot Island, with a view to reaching the southeast of Foot Island, 300 kilometers north of the Third Air Task Force by tomorrow afternoon.

What is this for?

If nothing goes wrong, these two fast battleships will be able to join the Third Air Task Force in the early morning of the day after tomorrow at the earliest!

It's just that if we really want to get to this point, the Third Air Task Force will have to evade the north after entering the Guia Ocean, and then it will definitely need two fast battleships to provide cover.

In other words, whether or not they can return to the empire alive at that time depends on whether the cover provided by these two fast battleships is effective.

Of course, Bai Zhizhan felt that he couldn't go that far.

After all, those two fast battleships have not yet entered the ranks, and even if the officers and men have already completed their training, there is no guarantee that the battleships will not have problems in battle.

On the battlefield, no one can say what kind of performance they will be.

The news from the Southern Fleet is related to the First Air Task Force.

After dark, the First Air Task Force had already turned and did not continue southward, but pounced towards the Shuangche Strait.

South?

That's just a false shot.

Don't forget, the city of Lion Springs, which guards the choke point into the Fan Yanyang, is still in the hands of the Bran Kingdom, and there are still a few colonies that have been forcibly seized by the Narrow Empire.

Besides, Gao Ye Zhen fled south, and Liu Xiangzhen couldn't catch up.

The current situation is that if Gao Ye is the same, turning after the Liang Xia Empire officially declares war, in a vain attempt to take advantage of the chaos to break through from the Shuangche Strait, then it must be to the east of Liu Xiangzhen, that is, in front of Liu Xiangzhen, so Liu Xiangzhen is turning now, just blocking Gao Ye's retreat.

Don't forget, Bai Zhizhan is guarding the front!

In fact, this is the core part of the whole battle plan.

For this reason, Bai Zhizhan took a very apt name: closing the door and beating the dog.

Takaya doesn't go to the Twin Carriage Strait?

That's a blessing!

As long as he made a detour, he didn't want to return to the Guia Ocean in time, let alone prevent the Liang Xia Navy from seizing the North and South Sadou Islands and the Watchman Strait. When the time comes, the Imperial Army will surprise the Narrows on the Icestorm Peninsula. After a series of fiascos, there was no need for the Imperial Navy to intervene, and those guys who had become angry because of the defeat in the Imperial Kingdom would devour the delayed fighters alive. Maybe when the civilians of the Liang Xia Navy are killed in the end, those red-eyed guys in the Sayi Navy will take the Kono sacrifice flag.

As long as Takano goes to the Shuangche Strait, it is definitely difficult to fly!
