After much discussion, Bai Zhizhan, Lian Xusheng, and Li Yunxiang were merely venting their frustrations.
At its core, the crux was still whether they could achieve military victory.
As Zhao Yu said, Xue Yuanzheng's prestige was established, bolstered by Army and Navy support, making his position unshakeable in the short term. Realistically, the earliest potential crisis might not occur until the latter half of the next year., so all their problems could be solved by winning just a few decisive battles!
In essence, the goal was to reverse the unfavorable situation within six months, at minimum by resolving the most critical issue.
That was to seize an oil production site.
Whether by taking Baku or occupying Boss Bay, securing a stable oil supply would make all current problems vanish.
So, which was easier, taking Baku or occupying Boss Bay?
Since no outsiders were present., Bai Zhizhan and Lian Xusheng had a frank and in-depth discussion.
