Bai Zhizhan's concerns quickly became a fact.

In the evening, it was not completely dark, and at dinner time, the communications consultant sent the message he had just received.

Telegram from the Navy Command.

The 11th Special Mixed Fleet was on standby in the waters near Socotra Island, preparing to cover the Marines to attack the Kibu Fortress and open up the route to the narrow sea.

The minesweeper detached team deployed in Colombo has set out and is expected to arrive 3 days later.

In addition, the 12th Special Mixed Fleet still went to the Northeast Fanyan Ocean to carry out missions as previously arranged.

All these adjustments were expected by Bai Zhizhan.

In the afternoon, after discussing with Li Mingbo, Bai Zhizhan asked the accompanying "Qinling" to send a telegram to the 12th Special Mixed Fleet.

It is said that it is for Liu Xiangzhen to ask for his opinions, but in fact, this method is used to tell Liu Xiangzhen that the situation may change.

Sending a fleet to the Northeast Fanyan Ocean is mostly a flicker. The real purpose is to attack Jibu Fortress in advance, at least a special mixed fleet will remain in Mu Ahai.

Then I received a call back from the Kunlun.

Liu Xiangzhen made a similar judgment, but the starting point was not much the same as Bai Zhizhan. He felt that he was pulling out the snake out of the hole, making Spear feel that it was a great opportunity to sneak attack the Imperial Navy's special mixed fleet, and thus led the fleet northward to attack the Imperial fleet operating in the Alafla Sea.

For this reason, Liu Xiangzhen proposed that if he scored a soldier, he would be willing to go to the Northeast Fanyan Ocean.

This proposal was also expected by Bai Zhizhan.

Although Bai Zhizhan did not think that this was pulling a snake out of the hole, he had long thought that if he needed to send a fleet over, Liu Xiangzhen would actively strive for it.

The reason is unique: Only by annihilation of the Newland fleet commanded by Spur can Liu Xiangzhen prove that he is no worse than Bai Zhizhan.

Let Bai Zhi fight and annihilate the last aircraft carrier fleet of the Newland Navy, Liu Xiangzhen will never be the number one general of the Imperial Navy.

To put it seriously, if you miss this opportunity and let it fall into the hands of other fleet commanders, Liu Xiangzhen may not even be able to maintain his status as the "No. 2 General".

Don’t forget that the commanders of the fleet who followed Bai Zhi to fight the Eastern and Western battles, such as the Guards and Li Jie, all accumulated enough military achievements, and the gap with Liu Xiangzhen was not obvious. Especially the Guards, if they fought another annihilation battle, he was very confident that they would surpass Liu Xiangzhen.

There is no doubt that Liu Xiangzhen must have sent a telegram to the Navy Command.

Of course, this was also expected by Bai Zhizhan.

That's why the 11th Special Mixed Fleet slowed down in the afternoon and distanced itself from the 12th Special Mixed Fleet. At around 5 o'clock, he sent out a final telegram to report his whereabouts to the Navy Command, and then entered a radio silent state without sending any more signals.

In Li Mingbo's words, this move is to fulfill Liu Xiangzhen.

However, Bai Zhizhan also has his own considerations.

The key is that the existence of the Qinling and Kunlun is no longer a secret, and Bai Zhizhan commands the 11th special mixed fleet.

In this way, if the 11th special fleet went to the Northeast Fanyan Ocean, it might scare Sp.

According to the information provided by the Sixth Bureau, the Newland Navy has designated Bai Zhizhan as an "unbeatable" opponent, and Niz himself ordered a ban on fighting Bai Zhizhan.

Liu Xiangzhen is obviously not so eye-catching.

Only by sending the 12th special fleet to Spur believe that the opportunity has arrived and that he will make up his mind to lead the fleet to fight.

Of course, the next thing is to see Liu Xiang really perform.

So, is Liu Xiang really capable of defeating Sp?

If you want to say it, Bai Zhizhan does have such concerns.

Before sending a telegram to the Navy Command in the afternoon, Bai Zhizhan also considered whether to exchange positions with Liu Xiangzhen, that is, he would go to the "Min" to command the 12th Special Mixed Fleet. Liu Xiangzhen came to the "Pu" to command the 11th Special Mixed Fleet to ensure that the combat operations were foolproof.

At that time, Li Mingbo felt that he should go to Liu Changxun with shamelessness and asked Liu Changxun to give orders directly.

After repeated thinking, Bai Zhizhan gave up this idea in the end.

The reason is true. Liu Xiangzhen will not agree, and Liu Changxun may not be willing to be a villain.

As for concerns, you can look at them from a different perspective.

Liu Xiangzhen has two large aircraft carriers in his hands, and they are targeted. Sp has only three small aircraft carriers at most, so it may not be aimed at Liu Xiangzhen.

In other words, Spear is likely to be heading for the other two special mixed fleets.

Then, even if Liu Xiangzhen didn't seize the opportunity, he might not be attacked by Spear.

In addition, the commander of the 21st Special Mixed Fleet was the Guards, and he also coordinated the command of the 41st Special Mixed Fleet.

Although the guards were far from reaching the height of Bai Zhizhan, he also learned a lot of things, especially the spirit of adventure, following Bai Zhizhan to fight all over the world.

Before becoming the commander of the Special Mixed Fleet, the Guards were always the vanguard general of Bai Zhizhan.

In several decisive naval battles commanded by Bai Zhizhan, he rushed to the front and made great contributions, thus gaining a large number of promotion opportunities.

In a sense, the Guards were the most representative young commanders who emerged during the war.

The key is that the guards rely on ability, not relationships.

When the war broke out, he was just the captain of the cruiser. Because of his good luck, he temporarily served as the commander of the team and successfully completed the combat mission.

So, will the Guards miss the opportunity to kill Sp?

If you want to say, the Guards are more eager for victory than Liu Xiangzhen.

The reason is also very simple: a few months ago, in the Battle of Galapagos, the task assigned to the guards was to lead the 22nd Special Mixed Fleet to kill a resurgence, stand by on the south of the transit island, and wait until the fleet led by Spur arrived, and then launch a thunder strike.

Given the circumstances at that time, if Spear had not turned back in the Samoan Islands, he would have suffered a catastrophe within three days.

Even if you prepare in advance and strengthen your defense, Spur cannot withstand the attacks launched by two large aircraft carriers.

What's more, there were not many carrier-based fighters in Spoo's fleet at that time.

In short, because the special mixed fleet commanded by Hal was destroyed in the Battle of Galapagos, Spop gave up the idea of ​​returning to Zhenbao Port and promptly ordered the return to the southwest and eastward, only to escape the disaster, and the guards missed the opportunity to make extraordinary achievements.

If it was another result, it would probably not be Liu Xiangzhen's turn to command the 12th special mixed fleet.

Now, the chance to kill Spear is again, will the Guards miss it?

It is impossible for Liu Xiang to know that the Guards are already the third member of the Imperial Navy, so he will not miss the opportunity to annihilate the Spoo fleet.

With competition, everything is easy to say.

According to Bai Zhizhan's understanding, Liu Xiang is really the kind of person who will be motivated when he is under pressure, and under pressure, he often acts more proactive.

Without pressure, Liu Xiangzhen will be more conservative when she turns around.

If you want to say something, Liu Xiangzhen was abandoned by Bai Zhizhan because of his lack of initiative.

As for the Guards, he was a famous "desperate man" and never lacked motivation.

It is precisely because of this that Bai Zhizhan chose to give up and left the opportunity to make military achievements to his two competitors.

It is not about the noble battle in Bai Zhi, but the current situation. If you can only send a special mixed fleet to support the Marines to attack Jibu Fortress.

Then, it must be the 11th special mixed fleet!
