On the early morning of October 18th, Bai Zhizhan and Zhou Yongtao left Nagiu Port on an air transport arranged by the Imperial Family.
During the layover in Puzhou, Zhou Yongtao disembarked.
According to Bai Zhizhan's plans, he was to head to the Imperial Naval Academy to address personnel issues concerning newly recruited officers, then on behalf of Bai Zhizhan, visit wounded officers and soldiers from the battle, and afterward, inquire at the shipyard about Battleship maintenance work. In short, he was to handle these trifling miscellaneous affairs.
There was no helping it, someone had to take care of these matters after all.
Li Mingbo would return to the Empire in a couple of days, and after arranging the maintenance work for the "Imperial Capital," he would meet up with Zhou Yongtao.
With the two of them on the case, there was no need for Bai Zhizhan to worry.
By the time Bai Zhizhan returned to the Imperial Capital, it was already the afternoon.
