After all, Bai Zhizhan, Lian Xusheng and Li Yunxiang were just venting.

Fundamentally, the key is whether we can win military victory.

In Zhao Yu's words, Xue Yuanzheng's prestige is there, and he has the support of the army and the navy, so no one can shake his status in a short period of time. To be honest, there will be a crisis until the second half of next year. Therefore, as long as you win a few battles, all the problems can be solved!

In one sentence: To reverse the unfavorable situation within half a year, at least the most critical problem must be solved.

Seize an oil production area.

Whether it is to build a cave or capture the Posha Bay, as long as you can obtain a stable supply of oil, all current problems will disappear.

So, is it easy to build a cave or to capture Bosha Bay?

Because there were no outsiders, Bai Zhizhan and Lian Xusheng were open and honest and had an in-depth discussion.

The final conclusion was that it was several times more difficult to capture the Boshawan than to capture the Boshawan.

Of course, it is not easy to capture Posa Bay.

Not to mention the need to retain two special mixed fleets in Dongwangyang, even if Bai Zhizhan takes four large aircraft carriers to Fanyanyang, it may not be smooth sailing.

Fundamentally, the key is still on the Army.

Arriving in Fanyanyang is not only a task for the navy, but also an army, because the army needs to seize and control the fortresses along the way and establish a forward base.

On the north bank of Fanyan Ocean, there are many indigenous residents in places with strategic value!

In other words, the occupation task after the attack is extremely heavy, and the Navy and Marines will definitely not be able to do it, so the army needs full support.

In fact, history has taught the Imperial Navy an extremely painful lesson.

Chen Bingxun marched into Fanyan Ocean, focusing on seizing ports and avoiding deep inland operations as much as possible, just not wanting to create opportunities for the army to participate in the war.

Because these ports or island fortresses are like pearls scattered on the Fanyan Ocean, they are also called "pearl chains".

The key point is that Chen Bingxun's death in his country was also related to this.

Before this, the Army proposed to land on the south side of the Kibu Fortress and then advance land and sea to reduce the pressure of frontal attack and reduce the difficulty of combat.

Chen Bingxun refused because he didn't want to ask the Army for help, or he didn't want to owe the Army favors.

However, after Chen Bingxun died in his country, he allowed the army to land on the south side of the Jibu Fortress, and then surrounded the fortress from the land direction and cut off the ground supply passage, which made the fortress's defenders surrender, thus ending the fierce battle for more than ten years, and the empire became the overlord of Fan Yanyang.

Of course, the main task of the Army is to be responsible for the occupation.

To be said, just the 300 million indigenous residents in the Vanluo area exceeded the control capabilities of the navy.

Not to mention the battle in the vain, I'm afraid no naval general can imagine the difficulty of ruling 300 million people, and no naval general is willing to do such thankless things.

For the navy that pursues the "marginal strategy", it is definitely unwilling to occupy a large population. After all, occupation itself is equivalent to a burden.

However, Bai Zhizhan is not as arrogant as Chen Bingxun.

When discussing with Lian Xusheng, Bai Zhizhan admitted that if there was no way to avoid it, the army would still have to seize and occupy the strategic strongholds along the way.

That is, the Navy needs the support of the Army.

This is also the conclusion drawn from the discussion.

Lian Xusheng was very pleased and immediately said that he would submit his report early tomorrow morning and apply to go to the Toe Peninsula to be responsible for the combat operations of the Fanyan Ocean.

As for the northwest, just leave it to Li Qing.

If it doesn't work, there's Situ Jingde.

Bai Zhizhan also made a promise that when the "Imperial Capital" was restored, he immediately led the fleet to provide support for the attack on Shiquan City.

As expected, it will be next month.

If it is really necessary and the conditions allow, I will consider entering Fanyan Ocean in advance.

According to previous analysis, as long as the fleet can enter Fanyan Ocean in advance and cut off the route to Shiquan City, the attack on Shiquan City will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

If Shiquan City can be won in one fell swoop, then you will be expected to enter Fanyanyang before the Spring Festival.

Bai Zhizhan and Lian Xusheng didn't say how to fight. After all, the two of them did not go to the front line and didn't know much about the situation on the battlefield.

Finally, Li Yunxiang also expressed his opinion.

If necessary, he will go to the Toe Peninsula himself and strengthen the deployment there to support the army through large-scale bombing.

The key is actually to monitor the Bran fleet of Fan Yanyang.

Because there is no guarantee that you can enter Fanyan Ocean before attacking Shiquan City, it is difficult to effectively utilize the port on the west coast of the Malay Peninsula. All patrol aircraft cannot be deployed there, and they can only use large aircraft deployed on the airport, especially bombers with a range of thousands of kilometers to perform reconnaissance and search missions.

This has been done by the Nanzhu Kingdom.

After capturing Lv Island, because the defeat of the Newland army was faster than expected, many bombers that originally performed bombing missions changed to reconnaissance and search missions. To be precise, they carried out search missions with bombs and immediately dropped bombs after discovering the target.

This tactic has achieved very good results.

Later, many twin-engine long-range fighters or medium-sized bombers were transformed into attack aircraft carrying bombs, specifically used to perform "search and hunt" missions.

Before Bai Zhizhan returned to the imperial capital, bombers sent by Li Yunxiang discovered and sunk hundreds of small civilian ships in the waters south of Lu Island.

According to Li Yunxiang, these ships were transporting supplies to Ludao or evacuating the personnel stranded in Ludao.

Anyway, over the ocean, large-range bombers, especially four-engine heavy bombers, have great achievements and are not worthless.

If we really want to attack Shiquan City, the bomber will definitely be useful.

Judging from the battle on the island of Serbia, large-scale coverage bombing can have a very significant suppression effect in the battle against island-type fortresses. A high-intensity bombing can greatly weaken the fighting spirit of the defenders, and at some point it can also make the defenders lose the courage to resist.

On the battlefield of Serbia, there are countless examples of strafing fired by several fighter jets and repelling defenders.

For example, in the battle to attack Capitol Hill, an infantry company of the Marine Corps broke through the defense line guarded by thousands of enemies with the support of the aviation team and attacked the top of the mountain. After repelling several enemy counterattacks, the Marine Corps, which received air support, successfully forced the remaining enemies to surrender.

Lion Spring City is not only a fortress, but also an island city with nearly one million residents. Bombing the city is Li Yunxiang's specialty.

Interestingly, more than half of the residents of Shiquan City are descendants of narrow-minded people!

After occupying Shiquan City, the Imperial Navy recruited a large number of hard-working Navi workers, who were responsible for repairing the damaged infrastructure. Since then, many Navi workers stayed in Shiquan City and became permanent residents after obtaining the imperial special approval.

When the three of them agreed, it was already early in the morning.

Lian Xusheng and Li Yunxiang were both very energetic. After leaving, they went to the Army Headquarters together.

Zhao Yu did not return to Puzhou immediately. He also had to go to the Navy Command to deal with several matters related to the construction of warships, but he was not in a hurry.

Bai Zhizhan did not delay and called Liu Changxun before having breakfast and asked to go to the front line of the Toe Peninsula.
Chapter completed!
