"...In response to the new situation in the Solomon Islands, the Navy's opinion is to form a night attack force under the cover of the shore-based aviation force, with the high-speed battleships and combat patrols of the First Mobile Fleet as the foundation, waiting for an opportunity to break into the enemy's landing ground, and shell the enemy's transport fleet and beachhead material stacks, in order to eliminate the enemy's landing troops in one fell swoop. [ | ]"

"The Army believes that the Navy should not act rashly before judging the purpose of the enemy's combat and obtaining sufficient aviation cover. The Solomon Islands should continue to implement the Army's steady advancement plan. The Navy may dispatch small submarines and cruisers troops as appropriate to harass the enemy's traffic lines, but should devote its main energy and resources to the construction of the New Georgia Islands aviation base group, consolidate the current front first, and make plans after the main force of the joint fleet moves eastward."

Gu Yingyang paused for a moment, reached out and clicked the map in front of the queen.

"In line with the opinions of the Army and Navy, the General Staff proposed an implementation amendment: that is, on the basis of the Army's proposal, the original Tulaji strategy troops were dispatched to land on Russell Island 230 kilometers southeast of Monda in batches by destroyer transportation, and opened a field advance airport in the Yangdina area to serve as an outpost for the entire New Georgia Island aviation base group, and provide more direct cover for the Navy's operations in the waters around Guadalo."

Liu Qianhua carefully looked at the map and nodded with satisfaction: "Just do it like this, the Navy's idea is really... simple, in short, we can't let them do whatever they want."

Gu Yingyang lowered his head and flipped up his black-skin notebook: "The Emperor Shengming, after the last Battle of the Solomon Islands, there were no aircraft carriers available in the southeastern theater; the basic forces of the war zone were only three high-speed warships equipped with 350 caliber main guns, and two combat patrols. As for the shore-based aviation, the current detachment of the Sixth Navy Air Force stationed at the Munda Aviation Base were only more than 40 fighter jets, more than 30 medium-sized land attacks, and more than 20 heavy land attacks, totaling less than 100. Moreover, the Munda Base was too far from the enemy's possible landing location, so our fighter jets could not stay on the battlefield for a long time."

"According to the information summarized today, the British-American joint fleet heading to the Solomon Islands this time has a basic force of two to three aircraft carriers - an estimated 120 to 150 carrier-based aircraft, as well as seven to nine main warships for 356 caliber main guns, and three to five main warships for 305 caliber main guns. Compared with the fleets in our theater, the advantage in troop strength is very obvious."

"In addition, the enemy's shore-based air force stationed in the base groups of San Cristobal and Rennell Island has been estimated to have been supplemented. The total number of combat aircraft available should be no less than 150, and the base is close to the location where it may land, and the fighter's staying air for a long time."

After listening to Gu Yingyang's explanation, Liu Qianhua sneered: "There is such a huge difference in the strength of the enemy and us. Where does the navy get the confidence? Have you started to fight in the Gulf of Aden again?"

Gu Yingyang spread his hands and said, "That's true. The elder of the staff Yan re-imposed a resurgence, demanding that the strategy operation of the Gulf of Aden be stopped immediately. The main force of the joint fleet quickly moved eastward to meet the British, American and Australian joint fleets. After being rejected, he was unwilling to give up and asked to first call out the aircraft carrier and combat patrol as the basics, and the aviation support mission of the strategy fleet was completely handed over to the shore-based aviation force of Muscat."

"I guess I've fought with the Navy for hundreds of rounds?" Liu Qianhua took a sip of the lemon tea in the crystal cup and smacked his lips - there was less honey.

Gu Yingyang bowed respectfully and said, "Given the remaining power of the emperor, the navy did not spend much quarrels this time, but the army was quarrel and quarrel, and almost started fighting."

Liu Qianhua's eyes flashed: "I'm afraid someone is upset by Liang Tianhe?"

Gu Yingyang smiled bitterly and said, "It's not because of Lao Liang's business, but for the big project of the Europa Expeditionary Force, the Army felt that the plan was too slow to advance, and required more resources to be allocated, and hoped that the Navy's future operations would focus on the Indian Ocean. Of course, the Navy would not give in, but in turn asked the Army to give up most of the share of aircraft, transport ships and construction machinery, and repeatedly emphasized that the Navy's main battlefield in the future will only be the Pacific."

Liu Qianhua nodded and decisively said: "It seems that it is time to cut off this big cancer - what is the news over Liang Tianhe?"

Gu Yingyang hurriedly took out the telegram from the file package and submitted it: "This is the telegram I just received before entering the palace - it was said above. In principle, the proposal of Commander Wang forwarded yesterday was agreed to the proposal of Commander Wang. The attacking troops will withdraw from the Oren River landing ground within two days and withdraw back to the south bank of the Ural River within one week."

Liu Qianhua took the message and glanced at him and sighed: "This Liang Tianhe has finally gotten his head. It's okay, to fight to this point, it can be regarded as a warning to the Russians on the other side. Not to mention half a year, you should not dare to move around within two or three months. The empire's obligation to Germany ends here. Next, let's see how the German Emperor and his lackeys will perform."

Gu Yingyang flipped through the notebook again: "Information shows that the Russian army is transporting several divisions stationed in the Turkish Strait and the Caucasus to Ukraine through sea routes. Although Romania has attacked Russia's Bisarabia Province since yesterday, it has only invested less than ten divisions in total. The other thirteen divisions are still deployed on the western and southern borders to monitor the Austro-Hungarian Empire and their enemies in the Second Balkan War - Bulgaria, on the grounds that Germany did not provide enough arms and gold as promised in advance..."

"These are just details. The problems on the Eastern European front are ultimately determined by the Western European front. We just need to wait and see and wait and see." Liu Qianhua waved his hand and signaled Gu Yingyang to return to the topic.

"Do you think there is still room for improvement in the combat system on the Russian front?"

Gu Yingyang blinked and suddenly realized: "What the emperor meant is to unify the command of the Russian battlefield?"

"Do you think it's feasible?" Liu Qianhua asked back.

Gu Yingyang bowed: "The emperor should have been like this long ago."

"Since that's the case, you go back and draft a draft and hand it over to the joint military and political meeting for discussion."

Gu Yingyang scratched the back of his head: "This is not difficult, but... how should Liang Tianhe arrange it at that time? He will not be willing to fall under Wang Zhi..."

"Is it appropriate for you to give him the position of Army Secretary of the Defense Headquarters you serve as the other party?"

Gu Yingyang suddenly realized: "So that's it. He led the tiger into the circle and was trapped nearby... I have no objection."

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, you're thinking too much."

Liu Qianhua raised her glass and smiled. Before she could take another sip, a female official outside reported through the window: "Mr. Wu Xian, Hu Ke, and Ma Feng, the Marquis of Qirui, asked for a meeting."

"It's so late, what are they doing?"
