The most shocking news that Bai Zhizhan received came from several Tiaoman Air Force generals.
Just this afternoon, the Tiaoman Air Force confirmed the victories they had achieved two days earlier. In the northwest of Malta, they had sunk the Bulan Royal Navy's "Prince of Wales" battleship and the "Reputation" battlecruiser, and had also heavily damaged the "Royal Ark," almost crippling the Bulan Royal Navy's Land Heart Sea Fleet.
The key was that the victories were achieved using long-range bombers.
That morning, the Tiaoman Air Force had timely received reliable intelligence that the Bulan Land Heart Sea Fleet would be heading northwest of Malta to protect a convoy en route to Malta and to bomb several field airports on Sicily, preventing the Tiaoman Air Force and Raleigh Air Force from deploying forces to Sicily.
Land Heart Sea Fleet's decision to approach Malta at that time was largely related to the weather.
