The discussion shifted to the operation of attacking Jibu Fortress.
Essentially, there was only one issue that needed to be discussed.
Whether to directly attack Jibu Fortress, or to strike at Socotra Island first and then use it as a base to assault or bombard Jibu Fortress.
However, in Bai Zhizhan's view, there was no need to discuss this matter at all.
If it were the beginning of the year, then they definitely should have occupied Socotra Island first.
Given enough time, after capturing Socotra Island, they wouldn't even need to launch an assault; just continuous, high-intensity bombing would force the Bulan Army to abandon Jibu Fortress.
In the battle for Lion Spring City, high-intensity bombing played a crucial role.
But by this point, there was no time left to attack and occupy Socotra Island.
Moreover, for bombing to be effective, sufficient time is needed.
