Stark spent the whole night pondering one question.
Should he withdraw, or let the 52nd Special Mixed Fleet catch up?
If the two Special Mixed Fleets draw closer, even if something unexpected happens, they can handle it together, avoiding facing the powerful Liangxia Fleet alone after being separated.
Unfortunately, after thinking for an entire night, Stark couldn't make up his mind.
The key issue is that the battle on Transfer Island is still ongoing, so the 51st Special Mixed Fleet can only withdraw temporarily, and he can't let the 52nd Special Mixed Fleet catch up.
This way, there's no way to deal with threats coming from the west.
As mentioned before, compared to the Liangxia Fleet, the strategic bombers of the Liangxia Air Force are more concerning.
