Chapter 1222
Are you here? It seems safer. But you must also strengthen your guard. Your fleet is in the best condition and can set off at any time. In his opinion, if we can strengthen our vigilance and run away before the British bombers arrive, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?
However, the fate is so unpredictable. When the Earl's order was issued, it was only 2 days before the British finally launched an attack! Count Luknar, located in the port of Burgas, Bulgaria, was ordered by Count Spey to lead the fleet to Romania under German control in 2 days. And this day happened to be the day when British bombers struck.
”Okay, until now, the plan is to freeze, let us look at the big meal on the table, and then distribute the dishes that you like.” On the same day, Trenchard, who was in charge of this operation, codenamed Rolling Thunder The Lieutenant General announced the final plan at the last meeting before the war!
”According to our investigation yesterday, the distribution of the German fleet is like this. In the port of Burgas, Bulgaria, there is the Sultan Osman I under the command of Count Luknar and the armored cruisers Amidiya and Redbeard Searedin. At the Constantinople base, there are two battleships under the command of Lieutenant General Negovan of the Austro-Hungarian Navy, the Joint Force and St. Istvan, and the Quasi-Fearless Radecki. The Port of Erreli is the main force of the Allied Mediterranean fleet. Three fast battleships under the command of Earl Spey, Tegerhof, Prince Eugen, and Rechadia, plus two other quasi-fearless, Ferdinand And Zlini.”
”As for the assignment of targets? The V1500 bomber squadron and three FB27 bomber squadrons are responsible for attacking Port Ereli. The remaining three squadrons are divided into two equal bomber groups, attacking Constantinople and Burgas respectively. In the end, Lieutenant Trenchard compromised. The entire bomber force was divided into A, B, C, and three bomber groups, and each bomber group was assigned an additional guiding unit. In the end, Lieutenant General Trenchard decided to take action. At this time, it has been 2 months since Churchill originally proposed the plan. At the same time, it has been 1 month since the large-scale investigation of British Airways. From the perspective of time Look, it's a bit long.
At the same time, Captain Halley also began to arrange their own reasons, they did not get the news, but thought that when they first came to the place, they took a little too much at the airport all day, so they could get the most Well, without getting familiar with the environment and training the idea of the team, Captain Halley mobilized his night sickle squadron and the other half of the squadron temporarily assigned to him.
”British aerial reconnaissance is unpredictable, so we have to make the interception net bigger. I suggest that all aircraft be deployed in small groups.” As he said, Captain Halley will be on the map around Constantinople. Draw a circle, and focus on a few positions. Captain Halley, who has a total of 30 K-4J interceptors in his hands, thinks he has sufficient troops. So the entire cordon was expanded. Even the area around Constantinople is included.
”All aircraft are filled with fuel tanks. We may need to patrol the air for a long time this time. The guard posts on the ground will provide us with intelligence. After discovering the target, each team can choose to intercept independently. There is no need to wait for others. Our mission is only one. , To clear out all British aircraft over the Dardanelles. The fleet can fly out of the Turkish collar to fight, of course, if it is not necessary, it is best not to go over Greece.” Captain Halle is the first time he has commanded such a hunting. It was nothing more than a pack of wolves grabbing a few prey that were cruising alone. So he delegated command.
”Boy, do you want to make a bet to see if it is your scimitar or our scimitar?” After the meeting, Captain Halle met the captain of the scimitar squadron, Major Wolfstein. An old bird, he was Captain Halley's lead plane back then.
”It’s boring. It’s us tomorrow and you the day after tomorrow. It’s all about luck. And I hate things like luck. It’s elusive. Then, let’s bet on which one of us will win the victory first? Bottle of Bordeaux, France in 1895.” Captain Halley looked helplessly at the juice in his hand. Because of the attack tomorrow, drinking is prohibited today.
