Unknowingly, several hours had passed.
When the secretary came in, it was already the early morning.
However, what the secretary brought was not a late-night snack but a telegram from Treasure Harbor.
Although Nizi was still only a Major General of the Navy, meant to replace Admiral Kimmel after the outbreak of the war to become the commander-in-chief of the East Ocean Fleet, he had gone to Treasure Harbor with several senior staff members a month earlier, right after the battle plan had been finalized.
He was now effectively the highest commander of the East Ocean Fleet.
Moreover, the commanders of the three Special Mixed Fleets were also appointed by him, two of whom were his confidants, and the other was a newly promoted Colonel.
The telegram from Nizi was asking whether to call a halt.
Hale didn't have much to say. He made a call in front of Rofuss, inquiring from the Ministry of Navy whether there was any intelligence related to the Liangxia Navy.
"Alright, understood."
