Should we continue to attack Transfer Island, or give up in a timely manner?
This time, Bai Zhizhan did not trouble Zhou Yongtao and his staff with this difficult question, instead keeping it to himself.
On the night of August 1, after receiving a telegram from Liu Changxun, Bai Zhizhan locked himself in the Commander's cabin.
Li Mingbo was very aware that this was an extremely difficult decision.
The situation was quite clear, if they continued to fiercely attack Transfer Island, the Tiaoman army would likely lose Malta, then lose the already occupied North Xuan area. The Bulan Royal Navy, having recaptured Malta, would take back control of the maritime dominance in the Land Heart Sea.
The result would be a return to the situation at the beginning of the year, rendering all efforts of the past half-year wasted.
