The fleet stayed in Colombo Port for 5 days. In addition to letting officers and soldiers rest on the spot, it mainly carried out maintenance of large warships such as aircraft carriers.

Before coming to Fanyanyang, because the situation was very tense and there was no extra time, most of the warships of the 11th Special Mixed Fleet had only basic inspections.

Since then, Fan Yanyang has participated in several large-scale combat operations and has also been to Lu Xinhai to carry out combat missions. Major warships including large aircraft carriers have all encountered problems in one kind or another, and their condition is relatively bad. It is time to be maintained.

This is also one of the key reasons why the 12th Special Mixed Fleet did not immediately go to the Mo Sea.

For this reason, the Navy sent several large floating docks to Alexandria, and in the name of reorganization, he gave Liu Xiangzhen several months.

In Colombo, 5 days is definitely not enough.

According to preliminary inspection results, the main warships of the 11th Special Mixed Fleet need to be repaired, and it is best to be carried out in domestic shipyards.

It is not because the floating dock is not big enough, but because it lacks the necessary equipment and accessories.

In addition, the naval engineering forces stationed in Colombo have never repaired large aircraft carriers, and have previously mainly served escort warships and transport ships.

After arriving in Shiquan City, Bai Zhizhan received the latest news.

The Kingdom of Sban had officially joined the war. To be precise, the day after Bai Zhizhe left Colombo, he signed the letter of covenant to join the Allied Group.

Two days later, on the day the Eleventh Special Mixed Fleet arrived in Lion Spring City, the Sban Kingdom officially declared war on all the countries of the Alliance Group.

A few hours ago, the Taman Empire adopted air transport to transport two divisions of troops to the Balearic Islands of the Sban Kingdom, and controlled several local airports and ports. Then, a batch of fighter jets were deployed to the local area to strengthen its military presence on the archipelago.

The Raleigh Navy sent a fleet with two fast battleships as the core to cover the fleet that transported equipment and supplies, and followed the Taman army to the Balearic Islands.

In addition, before declaring war, the Sban Kingdom sent three divisions to the southern region.

These troops were deployed in the north of the Zhiro Peninsula.

However, it was not until the Tyman Empire sent troops that the Sban Kingdom would launch a combat operation to attack the Zhiluo Fortress.

Before this, it is necessary to deploy air forces to the Balearic Islands.

The most important thing is actually waiting for the 31st special mixed fleet of the Imperial Navy, which is the special mixed fleet commanded by Liu Xiangzhen, to restore its combat capabilities.

The participation of the Sban Kingdom in the war was equivalent to sounding the horn of the general attack against the Bran Kingdom.

Although the RABBran tried his best in the next three days and brought the Newland Air Force to bombard the major cities of the Sban Kingdom, it could not change the fait accompli, let alone eliminate the huge threat to the Pilo Fortress.

In fact, on the day the Sban Kingdom announced its participation in the war, the Bran authorities made the decision to give up the Zhilu Fortress.

Of course, it's not just giving up.

Just later that day, a fleet of transport ships sailed out of the port of the Kingdom of Bran and rushed to the direct-down fortress as fast as possible under the cover of more than a dozen warships.

In this fleet, five freighters carried about 60,000 mines!

The key is mainly magnetically induction sinking bottom thunder or anchor thunder.

In addition, several cargo ships carried large amounts of explosives.

Even if the Bran army intends to give up the Zhiluo Fortress, it will block the Zhiluo Strait with mines and will blow up the entire fortress before withdrawing.

Fortunately, the Tiaman intelligence agency received the news in a timely manner and took action in a timely manner.

According to the war report sent, after obtaining support from the Kingdom of Sban, the Tyman Air Force immediately deployed an expeditionary brigade to the Kingdom of Sban, preparing to attack the transport fleet that rushed to the Strait of Zhiluo. The Tyman Navy also made arrangements and ordered all submarines operating in the Bay of Biscay to find and intercept the fleet.

In addition, the Thuman authorities have sent a request to the Empire, hoping that the Imperial Army Air Expeditionary Team will participate in the intercepting fleet operations.

Within three days, the Alliance Group was able to send hundreds of long-range bombers to the Bay of Biscay and use hundreds of long-range fighters to escort the bombers.

However, no one can guarantee that the fleet will be able to prevent it from reaching the Direct Fortress.

It is definitely not easy to find a fleet in the vast ocean, not to mention that the weather in Beixi Lake is notoriously bad. What's more, the Royal Bran Air Force will not sit idly by, at least it will dispatch combat aircraft from Beixuan area to provide cover for the fleet.

In addition, there are many problems in the Sban Kingdom.

Not to mention anything else, the Sban Kingdom has not yet achieved industrialization!

Although it is known as the third strongest country on the Western Continent, the Sban Kingdom is still mainly agriculture and is still a very closed country.

In the western part of the Sban Kingdom, there are not even a few airports with hard runs.

Railways and roads are also very bad. There are not even roads in the northwest region, let alone railways, which only have mountain roads that allow mules to walk on.

In fact, this is also the key to the fact that the Tyman Empire did not put pressure on the Sban Kingdom before and did not incite the Sban Kingdom to send troops to participate in the war.

There is no problem in deploying combat aircraft to temporarily opened field airports, but relying on field airports to fight will lead to a big problem.

Just fuel supply can discourage the commander in charge of combat operations.

In fact, this is also the key to the Choman Air Force's choice of the Balearic Islands rather than going to the Sban Kingdom, that is, building field airports on the islands, and building docks nearby, reducing the logistics support burden by sea, instead of having to rely on mules and horses to send everything to the front line.

As for the Sban Air Force, don’t expect it even more.

Before the official participation in the war, the main force of the Sban Air Force was the biplane that was put into service at the end of the last war, and the total number was less than 300.

In terms of combat effectiveness, a tactical aviation brigade of the Tiaman Air Force is stronger than the Sban Air Force.

In addition to the lack of advanced fighter jets, the Sban Air Force lacks experienced pilots.

In fact, one of the conditions for the Sban Kingdom to participate in the war was that the Imperman Empire of the Great Man Empire provided 1,500 combat aircraft and trained pilots for it.

According to the agreement reached by both sides, the Sbane Air Force will send 1,000 pilots to the Tsuman Air Force within half a year to fly the Tsuman Air Force aircraft. After completing the shortest half a year and the longest one year of practical training, these pilots will return to China and become the backbone of the Sbane Air Force.

In addition, the Tauman Empire also had to provide a fighter production line to the Sban Kingdom, so that the Sban Kingdom could obtain the ability to independently manufacture fighter jets. Because the Sban Kingdom's industrial foundation was too poor, the implementation of the agreement was postponed until after the war and did not require it to be fulfilled during the war.

Obviously, it is not only difficult to rely on the Kingdom of Sban to prevent the Kingdom of Bran from reaching the Fortress of the Fortress of the Kingdom of Zhilu, but also has a very low probability of success.

As for the submarine, it is also unhelpful.

Don’t forget that the Royal Bran Navy has arranged more than a dozen escort warships!

The only thing that can be counted on is the 31st Special Mixed Fleet that is still reorganized in Alexandria.

That's right, on the day when Sban Kingdom joined the Allied Group, Liu Xiangzhen issued a war preparation order to make all warships ready for departure.
