In the early morning, the Imperial Capital Navy Command.

The meeting held at the Chief Auxiliary's residence was held until four o'clock in the morning. Liu Changxun had a big fight with Situ Jingde. After Xue Yuanzheng personally intervened, the situation was considered to be controlled, and the meeting was also declared over. When Liu Changxun returned to the headquarters, it was almost dawn.

Liu Changxun was very tired, and he could be said to be physically and mentally exhausted, but it was not time to rest.

In the morning, we had to hold a meeting at the Navy Command to deploy combat operations, which was actually the main purpose of letting various departments take action.

During this period, Liu Changxun has been thinking.

It would be great if Zhu Shijian was twenty years younger, even if he was ten years younger!

With Zhu Shijian in charge, these problems will not exist at all.

Sitting in this office, I couldn't rest for a moment.

"You can't go in, the commander-in-chief is still resting, what's wrong..."

"Bang--"

Before the secretary could finish his words, the door was pushed open.

He was very strong and the door panel hit the wall directly.

An officer rushed in, and the secretary ran in.

Recognizing that it was Zheng Jiangming, Liu Changxun waved his hand to the secretary.

The secretary was also very annoyed. He tried his best, but Zheng Jiangming seemed to be crazy and couldn't stop him. Besides, everyone is civilized, so he can say everything well, so he needs to be harsh. However, the commander-in-chief didn't say anything, and the secretary couldn't get angry with Zheng Jiangming.

When he left, the secretary glared at Zheng Jiangming viciously, and his expression seemed to remember what happened today.

"Commander-in-Chief, I know you're back. There will be an important meeting later. You should not disturb you, but you must check this information you just received."

As he said that, Zheng Jiangming walked forward and handed the folder he brought to Liu Changxun.

"Information from the Sixth Bureau?"

Zheng Jiangming nodded and did not explain much.

When he opened it, Liu Changxun's face immediately became gloomy.

If it weren't particularly important, Zheng Jiangming wouldn't have broken into the commander-in-chief's office in the early morning, and after hearing what he said, he had been guarding the headquarters all night.

That's right, it's indeed a very important piece of information.

Last night, the Newland Federation cargo ship carrying maintenance equipment arrived at Tuc Fortress and unloaded the cargo overnight.

The key is that the four "Jingang"-class fast battleships are in good condition.

Although the source of intelligence was not mentioned, the document emphasized that this intelligence was very reliable and all four fast battleships were combat-ready.

In addition, the Newland freighter unloaded a batch of fourteen-inch shells.

Based on the information obtained before, the Sixth Bureau concluded that the batch of shells had been planned to be sold to the Sayi Empire before the war, but the batch of heavy armor-piercing bombs that had been negotiated at the price was not yet approved. Because they had been produced, they were stored at the island base before the war broke out.

It is also normal. Guandao is one of the largest naval bases of the Newland Navy in the west and the only naval base that can serve as the home port of the main battleship in the west. If you decide to send troops to participate in the war, the Newland Navy is likely to deploy several old battleships to Guandao.

In this way, the new shells stored there can be put into use.

Although the number is not large, it is enough to fill the ammunition depot of four fast battleships. After all, the Navy ordered armor-piercing missiles according to the standards of eight battleships.

As for how powerful these shells are, it is not a secret.

The Imperial Navy has long developed a 350mm heavy armor-piercing bomb, which has a performance similar to the 14-inch heavy bomb of the Newland Navy and poses a huge threat to old battleships.

What you want to say is a threat to all treaty battleships.

Of course, with these shells, the four "Golden Steel" class are a huge threat.

Zheng Jiangming sent this information to Liu Changxun, and his intention was also very obvious.

If Lan Yun brought those battleships and several heavy cruisers out, the combat operations on the west east and west oceans would inevitably be affected.

To be serious, it may even lead to failure of combat operations.

Not to mention anything else, four fast battleships that pose a huge threat to aircraft carriers suddenly appear on the battlefield, and the front-line commander will inevitably have some concerns and then make adjustments to the combat operations. If the battle is delayed, there is nothing strange about the failure of the combat operations.

In fact, no matter where the four "Jingang" ships went, as long as they left the Tuk Fortress and moved to the west to the west, it would be a huge threat.

After reading it, Liu Changxun sighed heavily.

"Commander-in-Chief."

"The problem is indeed very serious, but you know, the special mixed fleet has been sent out. Even if I am the commander-in-chief, there is no military force to adjust now."

“Not all.”

Liu Changxun was stunned for a moment, but then he understood.

Zheng Jiangming was talking about the two fast battleships that had just passed the acceptance.

Because the enrollment ceremony has not been held yet, the two fast battleships are temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Navy Command.

There is still something to say about which fleet to be incorporated in the future.

"In Puzhou, and it's an aircraft carrier."

"You mean... the 'Hengjiang'?"

Zheng Jiangming nodded and said, "According to the preliminary assessment report provided by the Southern Fleet, the damage to the 'Hengjiang' is not serious. If necessary, only the parts related to aviation operations need to be repaired, and the others can be left until after the end of this battle."

Liu Changxun didn't speak, and he realized now that Zheng Jiangming was actually trying to get opportunities for Bai Zhi's war.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "How many days will it take to repair it?"

"For the specific situation, we have to ask the shipyard. However, since the Hengjiang River can travel to Puzhou by itself, the problem will not be too big. Adding two fast battleships and adding a few heavy cruisers can play a key role even if they are still lacking."

Liu Changxun quickly thought about it and said, "You go and ask clearly how many days it will take to repair it. I will give me a clear answer as soon as possible. But don't talk nonsense about this matter for the time being. After all, the battle against Ji Island is about to begin, and it must not affect or shake the morale of the army."

"clear."

"Is there anything else?"

Zheng Jiangming was stunned for a moment and quickly said, "No more. I'll contact General Bai Zhizhan now, and then report to the commander-in-chief after asking about the situation."

Liu Changxun didn't say much, just waved his hand.

Zheng Jiangming dared not talk too much, so he immediately left the commander-in-chief's office happily.

That's right, he was here to give Bai Zhi a chance to fight.

Last night, in the early morning, after receiving the information sent by Wang Kaiyuan, Zheng Jiangming immediately thought that this was the opportunity for Bai Zhi to make a comeback.

There is a problem with this. After all, Bai Zhizhan has just returned from triumphantly and has never been lonely. He can't say he will make a comeback.

Anyway, this is an opportunity to lead the fleet again. More importantly, if Bai Zhizhan continues to write magic, then when he returns again, even the Liu family must admit that Bai Zhizhan is the number one general of the Imperial Navy.

Before this, Zheng Jiangming felt that he would encounter trouble with Liu Changxun.

For this reason, he was also prepared to make a lot of effort. If it really doesn't work, he would make a big fuss at the headquarters and make the matter known to everyone.

Unexpectedly, Liu Changxun agreed directly.

Is he a member of the Liu family or a traitor to the Liu family!?

Zheng Jiangming was very confused, but this was not important. Now that he had received the order from the commander-in-chief, the rest would depend on whether Bai Zhizhan could handle the shipyard.
Chapter completed!
