Chapter 410
When he came out of the Chief Auxiliary's residence, Bai Zhizhan discovered that Zhao Yu had not left yet and was waiting for him outside.
Because he was about to set out early tomorrow morning, Bai Zhizhan did not go home and took Zhao Yu to the hotel of the Navy Command.
In addition, I just asked the hotel manager and arranged for the chef to prepare a midnight snack.
Bai Zhizhan knew the reason why Zhao Yu stayed, so he told him the news that Xue Yuanzheng revealed during the midnight snack.
Fortunately, Zhao Yu didn't argue with Bai Zhi.
After hearing that the "Yihua"-class battleship of the Newland Federation had begun to be built, he also understood that he did not get into the verge of being stubborn.
Not to mention whether the battleships are valuable or how valuable they are.
Since the Newland Navy has built the treaty battleship, the Imperial Navy must not watch the fun.
There is an unwritten rule for the navy to build warships: as long as it has the number one opponent, no matter whether it is worth it or not, it must be built.
This is the root of the "Naval Arms Race".
Of course, this also means that the construction of the next large aircraft carrier will definitely be affected, and at least the first batch of construction cannot reach 8 ships.
After talking about some things related to the warships, he talked about Bai Zhizhan going to the front line of the Toe Peninsula.
"There is no need for this?"
"Brother Zhao, don't you think the place in the Imperial Capital is not suitable for people like us?"
"You are..."
Bai Zhizhan shook his head with a wry smile, and then said, "I was unable to attack Wei Island. The island that I originally thought could be easily captured became a bloody battlefield, and the entire strategic plan was impacted. Don't look at the Navy's battle in the South Zhu Kingdom and the Army on the Toe Peninsula. The current overall strategic situation is very dangerous. According to the news revealed by the Prime Minister, the Royal Navy of Bran will soon increase its troops in Fanyanyang. If the news that Zheng Jiangming had disclosed before was not fake, the Newland Navy may send warships to Fanyanyang. Basically, the enemy is going to block us, so that we cannot obtain the oil from Boshawan and will be defeated by the end of next year."
"this……"
Zhao Yu showed a very shocked look. He was a typical engineering man. Although he had designed several main battleships, he knew nothing about strategy.
"I definitely have to adjust the strategic plan, and there will definitely be huge trouble. I originally thought the Prime Minister would make a lot of bitterness and asked me to do work for Liu Changxun."
"What kind of work do for him?"
"If you want to adjust your strategy, the first thing that will be affected is the army, especially the combat operations in the northwest direction. If the chief minister intends to forcibly implement the new plan, it will definitely require the support of the navy. The best way for the navy to provide support is actually to compromise with the army at the strategic level. To put it more directly, build a few less battleships and save resources will be enough for the army to build thousands of tanks."
"What did the Prime Minister tell you?"
"I won't worry so much if I say it."
"Didn't say it?"
Bai Zhizhan nodded and said, "The Prime Minister didn't mention the matter in the northwest at all. If I was not wrong, there would definitely be a lot of opposition within the army. Maybe there are still people who are secretly making trouble, and they are targeting the Prime Minister. After all, attacking Baku can also solve the oil problem."
Zhao Yu was stunned again, but this time he held back and said nothing.
"The Prime Minister promised me to go to Yanhai, but in fact I was trying to avoid suspicion and avoid getting involved in the upcoming dispute."
"This is just your guess."
"Even if it's a guess, it's pretty sure to make a mistake, and it's definitely not groundless."
Zhao Yu sighed secretly and said, "You have such a strong relationship with Lian Xusheng, and he has always been in charge of the battle in the northwest. Why don't you ask him?"
"Have he returned to the imperial capital?"
"How do I know? Just call me?"
Bai Zhizhan patted his head and smiled embarrassedly.
Obviously, he is concerned and confused.
Besides, if Bai Zhizhan's guess is correct, Lian Xusheng would definitely hope to inquire about the navy from him.
Because Bai Zhizhan and Zhao Yu had just returned to the imperial capital, they went directly to the Chief Auxiliary's residence and then came to the hotel, but did not go home, even if Lian Xusheng had returned to the imperial capital, he might not have known that Bai Zhizhan had returned. Even if he heard the news, he would call Bai Zhizhan's house.
After Zhao Yu reminded him, Bai Zhizhan immediately went to call.
Sure enough, Lian Xusheng was in the imperial capital and rushed back a few days ago.
Because Luosha Empire turned against him, Lian Xusheng did not go to the Tyman Empire as previously arranged, but instead sent a subordinate to the Tyman Empire through the Republic of Ter.
Since then, he has been moving in the northwest.
It was precisely because Situ Jingde returned to the imperial capital from the northwest in advance.
Obviously, if there was no important thing, Lian Xusheng had no reason to rush back.
After receiving a call from Bai Zhizhan, he learned that Bai Zhizhan had not returned home and lived in the Navy Command Hotel. He didn't talk much and said he would come right away.
Many words can only be said in person.
Although it is an internal telephone from the military, there is no guarantee that the operator will not eavesdrop.
Besides, the operators in the Imperial Military telephone system are actually all from the Five Bureaus, and all have received training in counterintelligence and intelligence security.
All of these operators are intelligence personnel.
If you want to say, Lian Xusheng's return to the imperial capital is equivalent to proving Bai Zhizhan's speculation.
Perhaps it is not the only Army that has problems.
The current imperial capital can be said to be undercurrents. A year after the war broke out, Xue Yuanzheng's command was questioned, and something big will definitely happen in the near future.
Although he was in a heavy mood, thinking that Lian Xusheng was about to come over, Bai Zhizhan still went to find the hotel manager, paid for a few bottles of good wine, asked the chef to make a few fried fried foods with a heavier taste, and prepared a few snacks that were usually used to make wine.
When the waiter brought the wine and food, Lian Xusheng also arrived.
He drove over to his own car.
Perhaps he didn't want to be recognized, so he put an unmarked coat on his military uniform. If Bai Zhizhan hadn't greeted the hotel manager in advance, and the manager knew the army's number one general, the guards who were guarding the gate would not have regarded him as a spy from the enemy country.
After entering Bai Zhizhan's room, he took off his coat and revealed his true face.
Seeing this, Bai Zhizhan reminded the hotel manager who brought Lian Xusheng over.
The manager is a personal wise man and knows the worldly ways. After Bai Zhizhan's hint, he said that he would never tell the story of Lian Xusheng's visit.
However, Lian Xusheng's mysterious appearance made Bai Zhizhan feel even more upset.
In his understanding, Lian Xusheng has always been open-minded and a tough guy who will never avoid even if he is beaten and will never do dirty things.
If it wasn't particularly important, he wouldn't be so cautious.
Of course, it is not wrong to say it is sneaky.
If you want to say it, if the person who came was Wang Kaiyuan, Bai Zhizhan would definitely not find it strange, after all, that guy has always come and go without a trace.
When seeing Zhao Yu, Lian Xusheng was also surprised.
However, he immediately understood why Ji Bai Zhizhan did not go home, but spent the night in the hotel.
In addition, he also knew what the relationship between Bai Zhizhan and Zhao Yu was.
What Bai Zhizhan did not expect was that Li Yunxiang rushed over just five minutes later.
It must have been Lian Xusheng who called Li Yunxiang and asked Li Yunxiang to come to the hotel directly without calling Bai Zhizhan before departure.
Even Li Yunxiang is back. It seems that something big is going to happen in the imperial capital.
