By July 25, Bai Zhizhan's concerns had become reality.
If those two fleet carriers had sailed at cruising speed, they would have been able to reach Wangxi Canal by July 24 at the latest, and the Sixth Bureau had already made arrangements.
However, by the 25th, no intelligence had been received.
Furthermore, the three ocean-going submarines that the Navy had sent to the Wangxi Canal area had not sent any telegrams, indicating that they had not detected any Newland carriers passing through the canal.
If the two fleet carriers did not go to the Wangxi Canal, where else could they go?
On that day, Bai Zhizhan sent a telegram to Liu Changxun, hoping that Liu Changxun would personally intervene to keep the Eleventh Special Mixed Fleet within the coverage of the shore-based air force as much as possible.
If possible, it would be better to temporarily delay the operation to advance into Boss Bay.
In a word, they were not to be careless or underestimate the enemy.
