If you want to say, the celebration is to make a simple decision.

There is nothing we can do about this. The Imperial army captured the city of Lion Spring last month, and before that, it also carried out large-scale bombing and artillery bombings. The ports and airports are key targets, so even if the engineering troops made every effort to repair the project, they only sorted out an open area in the port.

In fact, it is mainly to reunite the officers and soldiers with their families as soon as possible.

Bai Zhizhan felt that it was a waste of time, especially when he saw Zhang Xiaoqing's big belly, he felt even more that this was simply a mess.

Fortunately, it was only one day.

The next morning, Bai Zhizhan and Zhang Xiaoqing boarded the plane back to China, and Zhou Yongtao and several other major staff members followed him back to the empire.

As for the fleet, it is still left to Li Mingbo to take charge.

Bai Zhizhan was unwilling to stay in Shiquan City, not only because he didn't want to waste time, but because his living conditions were too poor, there were only hundreds of thousands of refugees outside the port.

After returning to the imperial capital, Bai Zhizhan first entered the palace with Zhang Xiaoqing to visit the queen mother.

Bai Zhizhan didn't pay much attention to the promotion of the title. After all, for him, his status as a son-in-law is more effective than any title.

The next day, on February 11, Bai Zhizhan returned to the Navy Command to report.

After seeing Bai Zhizhan, the first thing Liu Changxun did was to give him the rank of lieutenant general with his own hands.

In Liu Changxun's words, the promotion order was approved last month. He did not report it, but just wanted to give Bai Zhizhan a surprise.

However, Bai Zhizhan was not surprised.

It’s not that I don’t take promotion seriously, but that I should have been promoted long ago.

Logically, at the end of last year, after the Naval Battle of Northwest and East, Bai Zhi Zhan should have been promoted to Lieutenant General of the Army.

But at that time, Liu Changxun did not apply for promotion for Bai Zhizhan.

The reason is also very simple. The "Mohe" battles, the "Longjiang" and the "Imperial Capital" were severely damaged, and the two fleet commanders had unreluctant responsibilities.

Although the Imperial Navy has never said that he would pay his merits to his crimes, he would definitely be exempted from his military achievements because of his mistakes.

Of course, fundamentally speaking, it is related to Liu Xiangzhen.

If Liu Xiangzhen was not promoted because of the "Mohe" Zhan Shen, but Bai Zhizhan was promoted, then Liu Changxun's life would definitely be difficult.

Bai Zhizhan also understands this very well.

"You are back at the right time, and Lian Xusheng is back today."

"The attack on the Varo area has been put on hold?"

"Not yet, but he doesn't need to be in charge of command. According to the arrangement of the Army Command, he will be sent to the Northwest as the commander-in-chief of the front line."

Bai Zhizhan was stunned for a moment and frowned.

"Don't think too much, it's not bad news."

Liu Changxun smiled and told the whole story.

Bai Zhizhan really thought too much.

Although affected by weather, geography and other factors, as well as the tactics of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields adopted by Luosha's army, the army did encounter some troubles in the northwest direction, but it was not as serious as imagined, and many problems that were previously unsolvable were resolved.

The key is actually the millions of Nirvana workers who have been invested one after another.

Just this winter that is about to pass, the Nayi workers have repaired several blown bridges and built floating bridges on several rivers.

More importantly, a supply point is built every 50 kilometers.

In addition, the Imperial Army also invested dozens of armored trains specifically for the cavalry of the Luosha Army.

In order to protect the railway and give full play to the value of armored trains, the Army also built front-line airports and used reconnaissance planes to search for enemies hiding along the way.

In the previous months, the Army used armored trains to wipe out tens of thousands of enemies.

To be said, the cannons carried by armored trains have played a huge value in combat.

Many times, just through continuous shelling, the Luosha cavalry who were ambushing and preparing to ambush the freight train completely collapsed.

In the words of the Army, as long as the heavy artillery is within the range of the fire, the enemy will not have a safe hiding place.

The army's advancement speed was not fast, but it was very stable. The strongholds established along the way provided strong support for the frontline troops.

In addition, by building roads and railways, the problem of logistics support is effectively solved.

According to the comments of the imperial press, the actions of the imperial army in the northwest direction can fundamentally eliminate the historical problems that have not been resolved since the Battle of Ate, and achieve long-term stability in the vast and desolate inland hinterland, turning it into fertile land for the empire.

The key is the transportation line that advances westward with the Imperial Army.

Long before the outbreak of the war, during the Great Depression, Xue Yuanzheng proposed to build a network of transportation roads in the northwest to allow local development.

Since then, the empire has been engaged in infrastructure construction in the northwest region.

Unfortunately, it was too short in less than 10 years.

From a strategic perspective, if the war breaks out a few years later, even if it is only five years later, the situation of the empire in the northwest direction will be very different.

Fortunately, the situation is not too bad now.

According to the plan of the Army Command, after the beginning of spring, the armored troops can launch an attack based on the railway line and are expected to capture Yebao this year.

This is also the strategic goal set by the Army.

If Yebao can be won within the year, it is expected to build a cave in the spring next year and obtain the second main oil-producing area outside Boshawan.

If we say, as long as we can conquer the basin and capture the Bosha Bay with the Shanghai army, the empire will be invincible.

It is precisely because Peng Huaisheng decided to send Lian Xu to the northwest front line, and he would command this year's offensive operations, so as to defeat Luosha Federation in one fell swoop.

Of course, this is also related to the Tyrannosaurus Empire.

In Liu Changxun's words, if the Imperial Army could launch a strategic offensive as planned, then Luo Sha's army would be forced to move from attack to defense on the Western Front.

As long as Luosha's army stops attacking, the Thuman Empire will definitely be able to persevere.

If you want to say it, the Thuman army is even able to launch a counterattack.

If the Tyman Empire intends to deal with the Kingdom of Bran, the Imperial Army also needs to restrain Luosha's army and alleviate the threat to the Tyman Empire.

All in all, the Army must make a difference in the northwest direction.

As for the actions in the direction of Fanyan Ocean, after taking over Sri Lanka, unless you want to attack the Kibu Fortress, it will have little to do with the army.

As Liu Changxun said, it is not difficult to enter Boshawan.

In other words, at least on the campaign and tactical level, marching into Posa Bay is no longer a major issue.

So, what is the main problem?

This is the current problem facing the Imperial Navy.

Do you need to continue your efforts? Before launching a strategic offensive on the East Ocean, you will launch an attack on the Fanyan Ocean and capture a port in the Fanluo area.

Liu Changxun did not make a decision, just to seek Bai Zhizhan's opinions.

In his words, Bai Zhizhan won the battle there and knew the situation of Fan Yanyang best.

This is also the problem that Liu Changxun had set for Bai Zhizhan.

Of course, Liu Changxun clearly mentioned that no matter whether he fights or not, he will support him unconditionally and help Baizhi war gain resources.

Bai Zhizhan has his own opinion on this.

In front of Liu Changxun, Bai Zhizhan did not keep it and said it directly.

In fact, it can be explained clearly in one sentence.

After quickly conquering Lion Spring City, winning the decisive battle of the fleet, and defeating the Newland Navy and Bran Navy in one fell swoop, the Imperial Navy lost its way.

To put it bluntly: happiness comes too suddenly.
