Bai Zhizhan proposed exploiting the Saiyi Imperial Kingdom's surrender ceremony for a very crucial reason, the straight-line distance between East Capital Bay and Wei Island.
It exceeded 4000 kilometers!
This meant that even if Bombers were dispatched in the early hours of the 25th, with the "Fenjin" located on the great circle route between East Capital Bay and Wei Island and 1500 kilometers from East Capital Bay, it would take until dawn to launch the onboard B-25 Bombers, and then turn around, racing toward Wei Island at maximum speed. Without considering the time delay for replenishing the ship-borne aircraft, it would take a day and a half, reaching approximately 500 kilometers northwest of Wei Island in the afternoon of the 26th.
Of course, this was still an unlikely best-case scenario.
