Li Mingbo did not sing a counter-topic with Bai Zhizhan, but just reminded Bai Zhizhan.

After the discussion, Bai Zhizhan made a decision.

First go to the north to try your luck, or show your existence, and then decide to stay and block the Hovay Islands according to the situation or return to the transit island.

Of course, it is not possible to report to the Navy Command yet.

Only then did the Newland fleet be killed, even if the "Qinling" was sent for the report, it might expose the fleet's whereabouts.

No matter how urgent it is, it will not be possible to send a telegram until tomorrow.

At this time, the Imperial Navy Command.

Although I had received the exact news last night, or to be precise, the news sent by the Sixth Bureau, a special mixed fleet of the Newland Navy was attacked near the Galapagus Islands, including two fleet aircraft carriers, and there is reason to believe that the attack was the 21st special mixed fleet commanded by Bai Zhizhan, but it was not until the beginning that Liu Changxun received the exact news during breakfast. The two fleet carriers of the Newland Navy were killed, and the fleet commander Major General Hal was missing, and it was likely that he had died with the flagship.

But the problem is that I have not received a telegram from the 21st Special Mixed Fleet until now!

Of course, Liu Changxun knew very well that the 21st special fleet was moving behind enemy lines and the journey back was long, so even if it was a battle in Baizhi, he had to be careful.

If you take a wrong step, you will be a deep abyss!

Of course, the only thing that can be confirmed is that in the battle with the Newland Fleet, the 21st Special Mixed Fleet was not exposed or hit.

Liu Changxun was overjoyed about the impact of this battle.

Last night, after receiving the information from the Sixth Bureau, he immediately went to the down payment residence and told Xue Yuanzheng the good news in person.

In the morning, after the results of the battle were confirmed, he also called Xue Yuanzheng.

If you want to say it, the biggest impact is actually locking in the victory.

Although the Newland Navy has three small aircraft carriers, and is expected to obtain one large aircraft carrier next year, and will definitely obtain several large aircraft carriers in the year afterwards. The Royal Bran Navy also has two fleet aircraft carriers and dozens of escort aircraft carriers, but these are not enough to change the current strategic situation. Moreover, the Imperial Navy is also building large aircraft carriers and small aircraft carriers, and has also allowed private shipyards to build fast escort aircraft carriers.

In short, the Imperial Navy was able to rely on the advantages it has now mastered to achieve a decisive victory before the Newland Navy recovered.

On the east side of the ocean, it is actually the capture of the Hovay Islands.

On the Fanyan Ocean, it is the occupation and control of Posha Bay.

Continue to go west, on the Luxin Sea, mainly to assist the Tsuman army in controlling Malta and seize the crucial Xifan Canal.

As expected, these tasks can be completed within the year or make decisive progress within the year.

According to Liu Changxun's estimate, as long as everything goes well, especially in Malta, it withstood the attack of Bran's army and sent troops to attack the Kibu Fortress, and made appropriate concessions during negotiations, the Bran Kingdom will be forced to admit defeat in the previous year next year.

Then, in the second half of next year, it is expected to defeat the Luosha Federation or force the Luosha Federation to surrender.

In other words, at the end of the 102nd year of the New Calendar, or in the 103rd year of the New Calendar, there is hope to end the war by besieging the Newland Federation.

Of course, these are all estimates based on the best situation.

Because it is impossible for them to develop in the most ideal direction, the war is likely to last for another 2 years, or even 3 years.

In any case, after the 21st Special Fleet annihilated the 51st Special Fleet in Newland, we finally saw the dawn of a complete victory in the war.

What brings the dawn of victory is the battle of the white war!

If you want to say, Liu Changxun almost became a disruptor.

When Bai Zhizhan sent a telegram asking the guards to lead the 22nd Special Mixed Fleet to Yanhai to lure the enemy, and he led the 21st Special Mixed Fleet to attack the Wangxi Canal, Liu Changxun almost ordered Bai Zhizhan to end his adventure. He even wanted to go over and ask Xue Yuanzheng to order it.

In theory, only Xue Yuanzheng has the right to order the fleet to return.

Fortunately, after thinking about it for a while, I finally held it back.

Looking back now, I was fortunate to hold it back.

However, he has not received a telegram from the 21st Special Mixed Fleet so far, so Liu Changxun was a little anxious.

The battle has been over for several hours. Even if you are worried about exposing your whereabouts before the battle begins, you should send a report after annihilation of the 31st Special Mixed Fleet.

What's more, there is also a full-time flagship in the fleet.

The key is that you have to return after the battle, so what else can you worry about?

The Newland Navy does not have fleet aircraft carriers. As for those small aircraft carriers, not to mention that they are not nearby, even if they are there, there is nothing to worry about.

Could it be that the 21st special fleet encountered an unexpected accident?

Even Liu Changxun thought this idea was a bit ridiculous.

In fact, the least you need to worry about is that the 21st special fleet will encounter an unexpected accident, because after being attacked, it will definitely send a telegram.

From this perspective, the best news is now the news.

Of course, Liu Changxun was still a little uneasy.

To put it bluntly, I am worried that the battle will continue to take risks, and I feel that I can strive for greater victory after I have no opponent.

It’s not that Liu Changxun doesn’t believe in Bai Zhizhan’s ability, but he just thinks that what he needs the least now is adventure.

This is also in line with Liu Changxun's style.

Decisive victory has been achieved, and the capture of the transit island is just around the corner. It is not a problem to occupy the Posa Bay, attack the Kibu Fortress and send troops to the sea of ​​Lu Xinhai. It is even expected to attack the islands in the eastern part of the Hovayi Islands in the near future. So what reason is there to take risks with the fleet?

Save your strength and you can give the enemy the greatest blow!

By next year, when the second batch of "provincial"-level enrollment and more small aircraft carriers are delivered, the Imperial Navy can even launch an attack in two directions at the same time.

This idea of ​​becoming the master of guarding is not uncommon among the older generation of naval generals.

Not to mention Liu Changxun, even Zhu Shijian was relatively conservative in combat thinking and was more willing to preserve his strength after winning.

Before aircraft carriers dominate the ocean, a powerful fleet itself is the guarantee of sea control.

This is even more true for the parties who have strategic advantages.

Affected by this, not only the Imperial Navy, but also the previous Royal Bran Navy, who was more willing to preserve their strength after achieving combat goals.

The most representative one is the Battle of Jutland and the Battle of the Watchmen Strait in the last war.

In these two decisive naval battles, neither side was aggressive.

In comparison, in the several decisive naval battles in this war, unless all the opponent's aircraft carriers have been sunk, the winning side will most likely pursue them relentlessly.

This also reflects the differences in naval thoughts between the two eras.

Of course, Liu Changxun's concerns soon became a reality.

It was almost noon, Zheng Jiangming rushed over and brought a telegram he had just received.

A submarine operating in the northwest waters of the Galapagus Islands encountered a large fleet and confirmed that there were several large warships with displacement of more than 30,000 tons, and their navigation speed exceeded 24 knots. Based on relevant information, it was initially inferred that it was the 21st special mixed fleet.
Chapter completed!
