Upon receiving the telegram from Imperial Navy Headquarters, it was already evening.
Then, a series of telegrams related to combat operations arrived one after another.
The Sixth Bureau suspected that Rofuss had already arranged for Congress to grant war authorization, and therefore, after the final ultimatum expired, Rofuss would formally declare war on the Liangxia Empire.
If that were true, related combat orders had already been telegraphed to the various special mixed fleets of the Newland Navy.
Consequently, Imperial Navy Headquarters had also issued orders requiring all special mixed fleets to ensure combat readiness at night and to enter a state of battle by dawn.
Yet they still could not fire the first shot.
