Bai Zhizhan did not look for Li Yunxiang, and Li Yunxiang was not in the Imperial Capital at the time.
In the following days, Bai Zhizhan gathered officers like Zhou Yongtao to form the staff of the headquarters and began drafting battle plans.
There was no doubt that what they lacked most were people.
Although Zhou Yongtao had always performed excellently and had already been promoted to Navy Colonel, he was still too young and lacking in the qualifications to rise further.
According to unwritten rules, Zhou Yongtao shouldn't dream of becoming a General until he was 40.
One must not forget, Bai Zhizhan himself was only promoted to Navy Brigadier General at the age of 42. No matter how well Zhou performed, he was still a subordinate of Bai Zhizhan.
It wasn't about deliberately suppressing the youth, but what command could a twenty-something officer have?
