"If you want me to tell me, it's better to go back to the aircraft carrier."

“Where does that come from so much nonsense?”

Zhou Yongtao shut up after being glared at by Bai Zhizhan.

"It's almost time for lunch, let's go to the restaurant first." Li Mingbo quickly stood up to smooth things over. He also felt that Zhou Yongtao was a little verbal.

Bai Zhizhan didn't say much, and he was indeed hungry.

Besides, it takes some time to understand the situation when you return to the fleet. According to unwritten rules, it is usually done while eating.

If you want to say it, this is the Navy's catering culture.

In an era when warships were still driven by sails, captains liked to invite their subordinates to have dinner together to consolidate and enhance their dominance on warships.

To this day, many warships have used the officers' restaurant as conference rooms.

In fact, the fleet has not changed much. The main force is still the "Paijing" and the "Longjiang", but the "Yuejiang" was replaced by two "Xuhai"-class ships.

In addition, two cruiser teams and two destroyer teams were added.

However, the added warships have little to do with the 11th Special Mixed Fleet.

According to the arrangement of the Navy Command, the 11th Special Mixed Fleet was actually temporarily organized under the name of the First Fleet, and mainly for the purpose of keeping it confidential.

After the battle to attack Shiquan City begins, two cruiser teams and one destroyer team must be sent out to provide support to the landing troops. Based on the experience of attacking the island of Serbia, at least two fire support fleets must be arranged and direct cover for the landing fleet.

In other words, in addition to obtaining two "Xuhai"-class reinforcements, to be precise, there is an additional fast battleship, and the 11th Special Mixed Fleet has not changed much.

To be honest, the organization system has been adjusted.

The current 11.1 team refers to the battle group of the "Paijing" and "Yanhai", as well as three large destroyers. The 11.2 team refers to the battle group of the "Longxing", which contains the "Longxing", "Xuhai" and three large destroyers. The 11.3 team is 4 heavy cruisers, the 11.4 team is 4 light cruisers, and the 11.5 team is 6 destroyers and 2 fleet oil tankers.

In addition, there are the three teams 11.6 to 11.9 temporary.

This organization is considered normal.

The only thing that disappointed Bai Zhizhan was that he did not get the ocean cruiser, namely the second batch of eight ships in the "Guangcheng" class, was trained in Xuhai.

According to the Navy Command, these eight warships were delivered in late December last year and have not completed training.

However, the key is that it is related to the four large aircraft carriers that are about to enter service.

The Imperial Navy's post-treatment heavy cruisers have not been delivered in large quantities, so it is suitable for acting as personal bodyguards for aircraft carriers, except for fast battleships, only ocean cruisers. Actual combat has long proved that a fast battleship cannot provide aircraft carriers with all-round air defense cover.

To be honest, at least one ocean cruiser needs to be added.

If 2 ships can be added, it would be perfect.

Because all the heavy cruisers that can be dispatched were sent to the 11th Special Mixed Fleet or were sent to support landing operations, the ocean cruisers could only be left behind.

This arrangement may not be Liu Changxun's idea

According to the previous agreement, after the four "provincial"-level service, the needs of Fanyan Ocean will be given priority, that is, let Bai Zhizhan choose first.

In this way, it doesn’t matter how you arrange 8 ocean cruisers.

There is someone else who is making trouble behind the scenes.

Li Mingbo did not say who it was, but there is no need to say it too thoroughly.

Anyway, he also came from the 21st Squadron.

Of course, not all bad news.

"The commander-in-chief made a guarantee that the 'Beihe' and 'Nanjiang' will be sent as soon as possible and temporarily organized into the fire support formation of the landing fleet. As long as we need it, we can directly call these two warships, and there is no need to ask the Navy Command in advance."

Bai Zhizhan just nodded and said nothing.

Liu Changxun has long appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the "Assault on Fanyanyang Operation". In name, even the landing fleet is under his command. The key is that Liu Changxun also asked Li Jie to go to the landing fleet, serving as the commander of the landing fleet, and also as the commander-in-chief of the landing combat operation in Shiquan City.

In addition, the 4th and 6th Marine Divisions were responsible for commanding landing operations, and the commander was Major General Yang Weiguo sent by Liu Xiangdong.

Not to mention the Army.

Although the Marine Corps was responsible for landing on the beach, they had to rely on the army in the later stage, and Lian Xusheng was the commander-in-chief.

It can be seen that in the entire command system, the ones who hold command power are either Bai Zhizhan's subordinates or like-minded with him.

"When will those two battleships arrive?"

"It's only these few days."

"You guys have finished eating, right? There's nothing else, just like that. I'll go on the top and go to the flight deck to find me if I have something to do."

He's full?

I only ate half of that simple meal.

Although Bai Zhizhan is not the kind of person who can eat very well, he had been bumping on the plane for a whole morning and could not have eaten such a little at noon.

In addition, he didn't seem to be sick either.

There must be something to worry about!

When Li Mingbo was thinking about this, Bai Zhizhan had already left the officers' restaurant.

Although the situation of the carrier-based aviation has not been introduced yet, there is no rush. After all, it will take as long as three days before the 11th special fleet can show its strength.

"You are nothing, are you?" Li Mingbo called out to Zhou Yongtao who was about to leave.

"Old Bai is in a bad mood, it is related to the current situation."

"Our side?"

Zhou Yongtao sighed long and said, "So far, the three fleet aircraft carriers and two fast battleships of the Royal Bran Navy have to count 2 battlecruisers, and there is still no news. In terms of time, the three fleet aircraft carriers may have been killed."

"Taman Navy Command is not..."

"Can you take the guess seriously, do you still need to fight this battle?"

Li Mingbo was stunned for a moment, but then sighed.

Although Li Mingbo was always commanding the fleet when Bai Zhizhan was away, he was never the commander of the fleet and had never commanded the special mixed fleet.

The only thing Li Mingbo is to show off is to go to Fanyan Ocean to pick up three armored cruisers before going to war with the Kingdom of Bran.

That action was just an action, and no battle broke out throughout the whole process.

In addition, after joining with three Tyman armored cruisers, Li Mingbo took the fleet back and did not stay on Fanyan Ocean.

This was not a difficult operation that promoted Li Mingbo to brigade general.

Speaking afterwards, Li Mingbo felt a little embarrassed.

To put it bluntly, Liu Changxun gave the opportunity to him because of his relationship with Bai Zhizhan, which was to give Bai Zhizhan face.

Having never commanded the fleet to fight, Li Mingbo was rarely as anxious as Bai Zhizhan.

Zhou Yongtao didn't say much. After all, compared to that, Li Mingbo is Bai Zhizhan's most trusted subordinate, and Li Mingbo knows Bai Zhizhan better than anyone else.

To be joking, when Zhou Yongtao was playing with mud in his crotch-open pants, Bai Zhizhan and Li Mingbo were already sitting at the same table for dinner.

After thinking about it, Li Mingbo was still not relieved.

Not to mention that I didn’t return to the fleet, now that I have returned to the fleet, Bai Zhizhan has to put down his burden and enter the realm of fighting without distraction.

Helping the commander solves his problems is the responsibility of the Chief of Staff.

If the staff officer doesn't do this, what's the use of keeping it?
