The next morning, Bai Zhizhan went to the Navy Command.

What surprised him was that Liu Xiangzhen had already rushed back overnight.

The two went to see Liu Changxun together, and Liu Changxun threw the problem directly in front of them.

The next task of the Navy is to attack the Nanzhu Kingdom and sweep the surrounding areas of the Yanhai Sea. The attack was carried out in three ways, and the attack and occupation of the Toe Peninsula was the army. In the battle against the Nanzhu Kingdom, the army could provide up to five infantry divisions and an air force.

The main task of the Navy is on the west east and west.

That's right, it's just attacking and occupying Guan Island.

Although the Navy is also led by the Navy, Bai Zhizhan is not the turn to worry about Liu Xiangzhen, and Liu Changxun has already arranged for Liu Xiangdong to take responsibility.

Neither Bai Zhizhan nor Liu Xiangzhen had any objection to this.

The place where two people need to work is to manage the island.

"Let's talk about it, how to fight this battle, whether you are sure of it, or how confident you are."

When he said this, Liu Changxun stood up and walked towards the cabinet with a teacup.

Looking at his haggard appearance, he must have been worried these days.

There is nothing strange about it. There is only one fleet aircraft carrier that can still be deployed. It is strange that the commander-in-chief of the Navy Liu Changxun is not worried.

It’s nothing to lose a battle, but it affects the entire strategic plan, so it’s not as simple as taking responsibility.

"We must attack Guandao at the same time?" Bai Zhizhan broke the sinking.

"I also want to drag it out for a few months. After having four large aircraft carriers next year, Guandao will be able to do it easily, but the current strategic situation does not allow us to drag it until next year. We have to fight now. We have to fight at the same time as the South Zhu Kingdom and to capture Guandao in one fell swoop."

"Is this necessary?" Liu Xiangzhen obviously didn't react.

After coming over, Liu Changxun said: "We won the victory, but we did not achieve a decisive victory. The Newland Navy has one aircraft carrier left. According to the Prime Minister's intention, it must be proved by a battle that we are the overlords of the East. Even if the Newland Federation participates in the war, it will not change the overall situation."

"Isn't it just like trying to kill that aircraft carrier?" Bai Zhizhan spoke for the second time.

"If it was so easy, it would be great." Liu Changxun sighed and sat down before saying: "I received the news last night that the 'Entertainment' has arrived at Zhenbao Port, but it did not allow the officers and soldiers to leave the ship. After completing the supply, the ship is likely to leave Zhenbao Port and head to Yoton Port more than a thousand kilometers southwest, or stand by the east. It is obvious that there will be no chance to sink this aircraft carrier in the short term."

"What you mean is that when we attack Guandao, the 'Entertainment' will come to join the war?" Liu Xiangzhen also asked the second question.

"Guan Island is the most important strategic base of the Newland Federation in the west to the west, or the transit station for contacting the South Zhu Kingdom and even going to Shiquan City. Unless..."

"Unless the Newland Federation intends to give up the South Zhu Kingdom, it will only be able to defend the island."

Liu Changxun nodded, saying that Bai Zhizhan was not wrong, but he obviously made the mistake of Bai Zhizhan's meaning.

"In the current situation, the probability of the Newland Federation giving up the South Zhu Kingdom is very high." Without waiting for Liu Changxun to speak, Bai Zhizhan continued, "Even if the Newland Federation will not give up the Guan Island, it will still defend it. It is just to consume our time and troops and will not send aircraft carriers to fight. If you really want to say it, the Newland Navy may wish us to spend a few months to mobilize a large amount of troops to attack Guan Island."

"Don't forget, there is also Tuk Fortress controlled by the Dongsaiyi regime in the south." Liu Xiangzhen added.

Bai Zhizhan nodded at him and said nothing.

Tuc Fortress was originally built and operated by the Imperial Navy, and was captured by the Sai Navy in the last war. It was also during the last war that the Newland Navy captured Guan Island. Because the North Horse Islands in the north were also captured by the Sai Navy, in order to ensure that the shipping route to the South Pearl Kingdom was unobstructed, the Newland Navy spent a lot of resources to build Guan Island into a military fortress in the west east after the war.

"So, you two have the same position."

Liu Changxun was right. On the issue of whether to attack Guandao, the two sides were indeed consistent, that is, both of them believed that attacking Guandao was of little significance.

As Liu Xiangzhen said, the Tuk Fortress in the south has similar strategic value to the Guandao.

In other words, even if the Guan Island is abandoned, the Newland Navy can rely on the Tuk Fortress to protect the route to the South Zhu Kingdom.

Could it be that it would take several more months to attack Tuk Fortress?

If you really have to do this, I am afraid that by this time next year, you will still not be able to look out for the west.

But the question is, can we ignore the island?

Or can it be bypassed?

The answer is obviously no.

A few months ago, the Sixth Bureau provided a very reliable piece of information, and the Newland Navy transported enough fuel and food to the island of Guardian to consume for more than half a year.

Shortly thereafter, the Newland Navy deployed more than 100 combat aircraft to Guandao, and could send additional combat aircraft to Guandao through the transit island and Via Island at any time.

Because Newland has a large number of transport aircraft, it was able to airlift troops to the island after the war broke out.

In this way, the defenders of Guandao, especially those combat aircraft, are a huge threat in themselves.

As long as you go south and avoid the patrol aircraft deployed by the Imperial Navy in the volcanic islands, the Newland Navy can also use aircraft carriers to supplement fighter jets as the island. If you are replenishing carrier-based aircraft, the aircraft carrier does not need to approach the island and sail to a sea area of ​​1,000 kilometers away from the island.

Tactically, it is difficult to stop the Newland Navy from increasing its troops to Guandao.

Even if the shore-based aviation force is not considered, the "Catrina" patrol aircraft deployed on the island is posing a huge threat to the Imperial Navy.

The existence of these patrol aircraft makes the Imperial fleet more cautious when leaving the east ocean, and may expose their whereabouts at any time.

In short, Guandao is a thorn in the side of the Imperial Navy and a thorn in the flesh, and must be removed quickly.

From another angle, Guandao is more like a piece of idiot that must be swallowed.

The key is how to fight!

storm?

It definitely doesn't work. Not to mention that there is only one aircraft carrier now, even if there are two aircraft carriers, it is not very sure.

What's more, the Newland Navy has one fleet aircraft carrier left. If the Imperial Navy sends aircraft carriers to special mixed fleets to attack the island, the Newland Navy has the opportunity to take advantage of it.

As long as the fierce battle situation is formed, the Imperial Navy will inevitably be difficult to deal with.

Slowly picture it?

Even more unrealistic.

Liu Changxun said at the beginning that attacking Guandao was Xue Yuanzheng's meaning, and it was related to the overall strategic situation, and there was no room for negotiation.

If he could slowly draw it, he would not have called Bai Zhizhan and Liu Xiangzhen back.

The key is to be related to the overall strategic situation, which can be said to be a tangle that can affect the whole body. If the island cannot be taken, combat operations in other directions will also be affected.

Ask the Army to help?

Obviously, the Army really can't help with such isolated island combat operations.

If the army cannot take over the sea power, the army can only watch the fun. If the sea power is taken over, the Marine Corps can handle it.

Besides, the Army is actually not very good at landing operations for small islands, and when cooperating with the fleet, its tacit understanding is definitely not as good as that of the Marines.

Until noon, the three of them didn't say anything.

After lunch, Liu Changxun took the two of them away from the Navy Headquarters and went to the Chief Auxiliary's residence, asking them to explain the situation directly to Xue Yuanzheng.
Chapter completed!
