Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Colonel Trenchard's mention of the 'recent spate of ship sinkings' (beat_bce2eef221da79a1) directly informs the Master's later revelation of his plan to manipulate the sinkings and use the abandoned sea fort (beat_199ae23b35e69065), showing how Trenchard's offhand comment inadvertently reveals the Master's scheme."
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
