Chapter 1461 Action 1
”It has been nearly half a year since we left the Mediterranean. During this half a year, I did not want to rush out of this narrow strait all the time to fight a hearty battle with the British and French fleets in the Eastern Mediterranean. Today, we finally can This dream has been realized!” Count Spey wrote in his diary before setting off.
The German fleet entered Constantinople on the afternoon of D-1, and entered the narrow Great Neal Strait during the day on D-Day. All the Allies that could be mobilized in the entire Black Sea region came to the narrow Marmara Sea. Against the backdrop of the setting sun, at the forefront are 4 super-dreadnought battleships. They are the foreign cousins of the German Helgoland-class battleships and the most powerful battleships in the entire Mediterranean!
Count Spey’s flagship, the Sultan Suleiman I, is at the forefront of the battleship detachment, followed by the Reshadia. These two battleships formed the first unit. The third is the flagship of the Earl of Luknar, Prince Eugen, followed by his ship of the same class, the Tegerhof. These two battleships from the Austro-Hungarian Empire form the second echelon.
On the left and rear of the 4 super fearless are two former fearless and armored cruiser Redbeard. Although these are two old warships that have been in service for nearly 20 years, the years have left deep marks on them, and the times have progressed. It also made these warships a little overwhelmed, but I have to admit that these once the pinnacle products of human technology are still terrifying steel behemoths!
At the right rear of the Super Intrepid Battleship Detachment, there are two seaplane aircraft carriers, the Turk’s Pillar of Nations and the German Merchant Ship William, which was temporarily transformed. Although the two warships that used civilian ships for temporary guest appearances do not have thick armor and heavy artillery, they can still be the eyes of the entire fleet with the 18 various seaplanes on them! Their tasks include, but are not limited to, reconnaissance, flares, and anti-submarine. Almost all the non-combat chores of the entire fleet!
How can the so-called boss travel without a younger brother? Even as a dynamic social organization. (For example, the gangsters) When the boss travels, there must be a group of younger brothers who greet and hug each other, playing a strong role. As the representative of the best maritime power of the Allies in the Mediterranean region! When Earl Spey took the family's double safflower sticks to hit the venue, he naturally had to draw the little brother in a circle.
Although the younger brother suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, fortunately, Romania's defection not only sent vital oil and food to the prince, but also accompanied some destroyers and gunboats owned by the Romanian Navy. Coupled with the accessories and personnel sponsored by the German High Seas Fleet headquarters and the Turkish navy's blood support, the earl was able to take out 18 various destroyers and gunboats this time, which is more than the previous night attack on the French fleet. ! But the quality.... Make a discount--!
”Your Excellency Commander, the liaison personnel between us and the Air Force have finalized the communication frequency bands and passwords for both parties. The Air Force said that after dawn, at least two squadron fighters can be guaranteed to hover over the fleet. And we can still Direct contact with the long-range reconnaissance aircraft.” A staff officer said.
”Very well, send me a telegram to Lieutenant General Harrell, thanking the Bavarian Air Force for its help to the Allied Mediterranean Fleet and for understanding our actions.” The count put down the coffee in his hand and said with satisfaction.
”Is it necessary to use the Bavarian Air Force?” a staff officer said.
