If anything, the celebration event was simplified due to the circumstances.
It was an unavoidable situation, as the Imperial Army had taken Lion Spring City last month, and prior to that, they had conducted large-scale bombings and artillery strikes targeting the port and airport. So even though the engineering troops worked intensively, they only cleared a large open space within the port.
Actually, the main purpose was to let the officers and soldiers reunite with their families earlier.
Bai Zhizhan felt it was an unnecessary effort, especially when he saw Zhang Xiaoqing's pregnant belly, and he felt it was merely fussing over nothing.
Fortunately, it was just for one day.
The next morning, Bai Zhizhan and Zhang Xiaoqing boarded a plane to return to the Empire, with Zhou Yongtao and several other key staff members following them back.
As for the Fleet, it remained under the charge of Li Mingbo.
