When the discussion reached this point, Zhou Yongtao was the first to suggest that the Newland Navy was likely targeting the Joint Fleet.
The key point was, if a new enemy appeared on the Fan Flame Ocean, the Navy Commander's first thought would definitely be the Joint Fleet.
The 11th Special Mixed Fleet was responsible for monitoring the Bulan Fleet near Jibu Fortress and also for the military operations advancing into Boss Bay, clearly overwhelmed.
If anything were to happen to the Joint Fleet, there would be big trouble!
Though within the Joint Fleet, the two "North River" class ships provided by the Empire's Navy were absolutely the main force, no one could deny the Joint Fleet's value to the Tiaoman Navy.
In some ways, the Joint Fleet was all of the Tiaoman Navy's hope.
According to the strategic plan, after taking Jibu Fortress and the Xifan Canal, the Empire's Navy was to advance to the Land Heart Sea to rendezvous with the Raleigh Navy.
