On the afternoon of January 18, the battleship "Jingang" was about 200 kilometers east of the Ancient Island in the central Northern Horse Islands.

After the 97-type boat disappeared deep in the clouds in the north, Lan Yun took his gaze back, then raised his hand and looked at his wrist watch.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

If everything goes well, it is time to prepare for the battle at this time tomorrow.

Hope everything goes well!

At this moment, Lan Yun's mood was extremely complicated.

It only took more than twenty days, and the changes before and after were so great that even the "changing world" was not enough to describe it. It felt like I had fallen from the sky into the abyss.

More than 20 days ago, after the destruction of the mobile fleet, or to be precise, four fleet aircraft carriers of the First and Second Air Forces, Lan Yun originally planned to apologize for his death and die with the "Jahe". Unfortunately, the staff officer of the Mobile Fleet Command did not let him succeed.

After that, after receiving the news that the main team was destroyed and General Takano died in the country, Lan Yun once again had the idea of ​​thinking. Unexpectedly, his most trusted subordinate, Colonel Kitamura, took the lead. The guy committed suicide by separating himself on the deck of the "Jingang", but because he was not brave enough, he was finally sentenced to cut off his head. The bloody scene made Lan Yun give up the idea of ​​separating the abdomen.

When he arrived at the Tuk Fortress, Lan Yun was preparing to die for his country for the third time.

This time, he got a bottle of poison.

Unfortunately, the telegram sent by the Military Command once again made him survive.

The Prime Minister has officially appointed him as the commander of the permanent fleet and promoted to Admiral to command all the warships of the Tuk Fortress.

This is a direct acceptance of one's fate, and there is no room for negotiation.

If Lan Yun goes to seek death again, he will escape responsibility and will definitely not be able to enter the temple after death.

Although after this, I received several good news, such as the Newland Federation promised to provide equipment needed to repair warships and more important combat supplies, including the new armor-piercing bombs that were previously planned to be sold to the Navy and stored on the island of Tuk, and the fuel in short supply of fuel fortresses. But in Lan Yun's view, these are not good news at all, because the Newland Federation will not provide fleet aircraft carriers in any case.

What can you do with a few battleships?

In the telegram replying to the military command, Lan Yun repeatedly emphasized that he would try to get the Newland Federation to send troops to the war, otherwise he would not consider returning to the local area for the time being.

It is more valuable to stay in the Tuk Fortress.

The reason is that he can attack the enemy sideways and force Liang Xia's army to divide his troops.

Of course, this is actually an excuse for fear of fighting.

To put it in a bad way: Will it be up to Lan Yun to decide whether Liang Xia’s Navy should divide the troops?

What happened next actually proved this. Liang Xia's Navy did not concentrate all its forces because the four fast battleships in the Tuk Fortress divided their troops to the east and west, and supported the army to sweep the Ice Storm Peninsula and cover the Marines to capture Ji Island.

In this situation, until Tian Shi entered the Military Command, to be precise, he took control of the Military Command.

Although he was just a major general, he gained the high trust of Prime Minister Wen Wei and became the spokesperson for the Prime Minister in the Military Command with Takano's handwritten letter.

Besides, the Military Command really cannot find talents who can replace Takano.

After Tian Shi entered the military command, the first thing he did was to order Lan Yun to prepare for the departure as soon as possible.

During the telegram, Tian Shi also clearly told Lan Yun that when the permanent fleet returns to the battlefield, the winner will be decided!

Although he was very nervous, Lan Yun was still a little confident in Tian Shi and Lan Yun. To be honest, the thing he regretted was that he sent Tian Shi onto a seaplane on the night of the 25th and did not allow him to stay. If he had spoken out at that time, Tian Shi did not return to the flagship and continued to serve as a guest staff officer in the mobile fleet, I am afraid that the battle on the 26th would be another result, at least he would not have lost so badly.

Even if you have to lose, as long as you can kill a few more Liang Xia Navy aircraft carriers, the situation will be very different.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine to take.

It was not until four days ago, on the 14th that Lan Yun realized that it was time for him to die.

Liang Xia's special group has left Xuhai, and it is very likely that he will not be able to say it will be fast on the way to Liuhuangdao, and may have arrived near Liuhuangdao.

Judging from the entire battlefield situation, after completing the combat operation to assist the army in sweeping the Ice Storm Peninsula, the probability of transitioning to the West East is extremely high.

Only by attacking and occupying Liuhuangdao can you say something else after completing the strategic encirclement of the Nayi Empire.

In any case, the Nai Navy must defend Liuhuangdao to the death.

The combat plan is: while the army defends Liuhuangdao to the death, the permanent fleet set off from the Tuk Fortress, raided the landing ground and eliminated the landing fleet and landing troops.

War loss?

No need to think about it at all.

Tian Shi clearly told Lan Yun in the telegram that if Liuhuangdao is lost, those who wait for the Nayi Empire will be completely defeated. The best result is to surrender to the Liangxia Empire before being completely defeated, or to be burned into ruins by the war, so as to preserve the capital to make a comeback.

Then there are decades of enduring humiliation.

However, it is still unknown whether it can make a comeback in decades.

With the lessons of the past, when Liang Xia's fleet once again entered Dongdu Bay and when Liang Xia's army once again ruled the Donghuang Capital, it would inevitably impose severe punishment on the Nayi Empire.

At least they will castrate the ambitions of the narrow imperial kingdom and make them a slave who bows down.

If this is true, it would be better to die in a heroic battle!

The implication is that the battle in Liuhuangdao determines the final victory or defeat.

Can it be kept?

In response, Tian Shi also gave a clear answer.

It’s not about keeping it, it’s about sticking to it for half a year, at least three months.

In other words, as long as you keep it for three months, it will be a victory!

The reason is also very simple. It only takes three months to obtain enough assistance from the Newland Federation to complete local defense deployment.

Three months is the shortest time required for the Army to mobilize the recruits to complete basic training.

The implication is that in three months, even if Liuhuangdao is thrown away, you can fight a defense battle in the local area.

In this way, there is hope of winning.

To be precise, it is expected to persist until the day when the Newland Federation sent troops to join the war.

In short, we must defend Liuhuangdao to the last moment of fighting. Not to mention paying the permanent fleet, even if we pay the entire navy, we will do whatever we can!

If Liuhuangdao is thrown away, he can only retreat to the local area.

To fight a local defense battle, there is no need for fleets at all.

At that time, Lan Yun was indeed full of confidence.

At least from the telegram sent by Tashi, you can see hope of serving the country with death.

If you can achieve the final victory, even if you die for the country, you can enter the temple and society and be worshipped by the subjects of the narrow imperial kingdom for generations.

After the Battle of Yanhai, Lan Yun only wanted to die and die as long as he could.

Unexpectedly, the situation developed faster than he expected.

In fact, it also exceeded Tian Shi's judgment.

On this day, on the morning of the 15th, Liang Xia's Navy bombed Liuhuang Island and killed the guard commander, turning the guardians into headless flies.

Otherwise, the permanent fleet would not leave the port overnight, let alone heading north at full speed.

I sailed at full speed for nearly three days, but fortunately I didn't encounter any trouble.

Perhaps, Liang Xia's Navy did not know that the permanent fleet had left the Tuk Fortress, or that the permanent fleet would attack Liuhuangdao at full speed.
Chapter completed!
