Seeing Li Mingbo's expression change, Bai Zhizhan knew that it was not good news.

However, Li Mingbo did not explain. After reading it, he handed the message to Bai Zhizhan.

Just one sentence.

Information provided by the Sixth Bureau.

Hal did not go to the fleet, but was at the Naval Hospital in Zhenbao Port. Intelligence personnel had already gone to the hospital to confirm that the credibility of the intelligence was very high.

"Hal stayed in Zhenbao Port, and the one who went to the fleet was..."

Bai Zhizhan glanced at Zhou Yongtao, but didn't say much.

"There may be a problem with this information." Li Mingbo said at this time: "If you don't come early or late, why are you sending it here at this time?"

"If the intelligence is fine, who will be the one who replaced him to the 16th Special Mix Fleet?"

When Li Mingbo and Zhou Yongtao said this, Bai Zhizhan had already walked to the chart table.

The two of them followed without saying anything, and they followed.

"Commander Bai..."

"If the information is correct, the one who replaces Hal to command the 16th Special Mixed Fleet is likely to be his close friend, Sp, who is known for his cautiousness and courage."

"You're talking about that old major?"

"Maybe, he is already a brigade general or a major general."

"This..." Li Mingbo immediately frowned.

This Spear not only knew Bai Zhizhan, but Li Mingbo also knew him.

In the 1996th year of the New Calendar, when negotiating whether to extend the "Naval Arms Restriction Treaty", Li Mingbo followed Bai Zhizhan to the Newland Federation to participate in the negotiations, and met Spee during this period. Strictly speaking, it was through Hal's introduction that he met Spee, who was in his forties or major.

To be honest, Hal and Spear were originally enemies.

Li Mingbo also had some understanding of these two people, but it was not considered in-depth. After all, he was just a low-level officer who was fighting for Bai Zhizhan at that time.

What Li Mingbo still remembers is that Bai Zhizhan gave Spee a very high evaluation.

At that time, Bai Zhizhan told Li Mingbo that if the opponent he would meet in the East Ocean in the future was Hal, he would be very sure to win the battle, but he would not be very sure of meeting Sp.

If Hal is called a bull who likes to rush around, and his wrong number is "Bao Bull", Spear is a cunning fox, or a fierce wolf, or a combination of the two.

Very patient, know how to advance and retreat, and have a clear purpose in doing anything.

This kind of soft outside and hard inside, or vicious personality, made Spe hit a wall everywhere in the Newland Navy, and was just a major until he was in his forties.

If he hadn't met Hal and became Hal's close friend, he would have had no chance of making a comeback.

All in all, Spoo is much harder to deal with.

According to Bai Zhizhan's evaluation, Sp's ability is not only far above Har, but also surpasses the Konoya of the Navy, but it is too late to become famous.

"But it may be another major general." Bai Zhizhan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "One thing is certain, as long as this information is not wrong, Hal is indeed recovering from the rear, so the one who has the power to make decisions is likely to be Major General Fry."

After hearing what Bai Zhizhan said, Li Mingbo immediately frowned.

"You mean..." Zhou Yongtao also showed a look of confusion.

"If Hal was in charge of command, then the Newland fleet would be very active and might take the initiative to come up and look for opportunities for a decisive battle. If it were Frye, he would have the purpose of completing the established combat mission and would not do anything that had nothing to do with the established mission, let alone taking risks."

After a few twists of these words, neither Li Mingbo nor Zhou Yongtao immediately understood it.

"What is the mission of the Newland Navy this time?" Although he was asking a question, Bai Zhizhan's words were also reminding the two of them.

"Destroy us?" Li Mingbo continued tentatively.

Bai Zhizhan smiled and turned his eyes to Zhou Yongtao.

"If this combat operation was planned by General Jinmei, he would stare at us and aim to eliminate us. Just planned by Niz, the purpose would definitely not be so simple, or so direct. The fleet is just a tool for combat, or a means necessary to achieve the goal. As Commander Bai said before, even if we eliminate us, the Newland Navy will face four large aircraft carriers next year."

"But if we don't destroy us, we will have to count the four fleet aircraft carriers."

"Compared with several aircraft carriers, a revived Nayi Empire has even more value even if it can only be counted as half."

Li Mingbo was stunned for a moment, but he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

Although the Nayi Empire had already fallen down and was divided into two regimes, the East and West were still in existence, as long as the East and West governments were still there, they would not die.

A centipede insect will die without being stiff, let alone a huge country.

The Dongsaiyi regime has refused to surrender until now and is still surviving. Isn’t it just waiting for the Newland Federation to join the war and then Lofoss will prosper his life?

"Xiao Zhou was right, the key is here." Bai Zhizhan said at this time, "If it is just to lure us out, it is necessary to dispatch hundreds of transport ships? Those are all ocean freighters. In Beixi, more than twenty freighters were sunk by the submarines of the Tiaoman Navy last month. What's more, they were all full. I dare say that only fifty ships can make us come out in full bloom."

"According to your opinion, the purpose of the Newland Navy is to get the transport fleet to Naiyi?"

Bai Zhizhan smiled, Zhou Yongtao nodded, indicating that Li Mingbo was not wrong.

"Because the 21st Special Mixed Fleet has already headed north, and the 42nd Special Mixed Fleet and the 43rd Special Mixed Fleet have also set off, so the 16th Special Mixed Fleet and the 17th Special Mixed Fleet should be on the south side of the transport fleet, and one in front and one behind. The front is slightly north, closer to the transport fleet. The south side is slightly south, farther away from the transport fleet. According to this deployment, the front side is definitely attacked by the special Mixed Fleet, and the south side is responsible for covering, and only participate in the battle to attack the 21st Special Mixed Fleet if necessary."

While saying this, Bai Zhizhan also picked up several beacons and inserted them on the chart.

"Also because the whereabouts of the 21st Fleet have been exposed, there is reason to believe that the 17th Fleet is in front. The 16th Fleet, which has three "York" class fleet carriers, is covering the rear, focusing on monitoring the west and southwest directions."

"So, we should continue to maneuver southeastward and stay away from the 21st Special Mixed Fleet."

After Li Mingbo said this, Bai Zhizhan just nodded slightly.

"These speculations are correct, but there is a prerequisite." Zhou Yongtao said at this time, "It is indeed the commander of Major General Frye, and the commander who replaced Major General Hal obeyed Frye. The question is, if it were Sp, would he obey Fryee?"

Now, not only Li Mingbo, but also Bai Zhizhan frowned.

Sp was able to become famous and valued by Hal because of his soft and strong personality and very independent.

As for Fry, he certainly is not outstanding.

Spear didn't take Hal seriously, and he was so likely to obey Fry's words?

Disagreement between generals and generals is a taboo in military strategists.

When doing this personnel appointment and removal, did Niz and Harr not expect or did not understand the significance of it?

If so, Niz is not afraid of it.
