The Rise of the Empire

Everything is similar to what the Italians imagined. Turks, or Germans in Turkish military uniforms, can only use the cover of night if they want to smuggle, and after all, they do not have Turks familiar with the hydrological situation in North Africa, even if there are Turks. Help, they still walk carefully.

They chose the route close to the coast, on the one hand to avoid the search of the Italian navy, on the other hand, will they plan to shell the Italian army that is landing and the mountain of materials on the dock? Thinking of this, the Duke of Abuqilu felt a little nervous! This battleship can be equipped with 8 10-inch guns! One salvo can pour two tons of ammunition on the target! This is absolutely deadly for the Army!

However, the Duke was not completely defenseless. He at least left some torpedo boats at the landing site, which provided cover to the Germans at night, and also provided protection to the assassins who were armed with blades. As long as the Germans were more rational, they would not be there. Challenge torpedo boats like piranhas without escorting warships.

"Order all reconnaissance vessels to gather in the target sea area and search for the other side's whereabouts."

"All fleets set sail immediately and head to the target waters. We must solve the problem once and for all!" Following the Duke’s order, a huge fleet of 6 battleships and 3 cruisers sailed out of the port of Poza in southern Sicily. This Italian The long sword that has spent a lot of money and resources honing for more than 30 years is finally out of its sheath, so what is waiting for them? Was it the splendor of the rise of Italy or another defeat in the battle of Lisa? let us wait and see!

And shortly after the Italian Navy left, a radio antenna protruded from the top of an attic in Poza, and a short telegram was sent. The content is only one sentence, "The Italian Navy has left the port, heading south!" But it was enough to determine the outcome of the entire battle! Along with the signal from the ship at the speed of light, a telegraph team quickly received and deciphered the telegram on a ship in Messina. Ten minutes later, a telegram with a signed shadow was sent out.

"The shadow has appeared! It has finally appeared!" As Scheer was staring at the wall clock hanging on the wall, a staff officer ran to the control tower waving the telegram in his hand.

"The Italian fleet has been decoyed to the coast of Africa. There are no mines in the Strait of Messina. The door to Italy has been opened. You can pass with confidence!"

"Great! I knew we would succeed! The goal was led to Africa, so we have at least 8 to 10 hours!" Scheer excitedly picked up the ruler in his hand and placed it on the large-scale chart. The measurement is calculating.

"Such a long time, if we just pass it, it would be too wasteful! I am totally sorry for the time that our comrades bought for us! We have to give the Italians a little bit of color!"

"Let the captains of the Seawolf and the Swordfish come to me immediately. We have to plan well." Major General Scheer ordered. A few minutes later, the captains of the two warships came to the Prince Albert's meeting room, and after putting away the liaison boat, under the leadership of Prince Albert, the three warships began to sail across the Strait of Messina quickly.

"If I'm not mistaken, there are a total of 1,500 mines of various kinds on the two attack ships, Sea Wolf and Swordfish, is that true?" Scheer asked.

"Yes, you remember very clearly. The Sea Wolf was originally intended to break the sea, but at the last moment, the Admiralty temporarily assigned us mines, hoping that we can carry out offensive mines at Italian offshore ports. Unexpectedly, we will now You can use these things." Major Hoffman, the captain of the Sea Wolf, said with a smile.

Although Scheer made several plans before the action, he did not expect that the breakthrough would be so good. It was not that he had never thought that the decoy would fail and he would forcibly pass through the Strait of Messina, but this was too dangerous The port of choice for Italians is very good. They are stationed in Poland, whether they are blocking the Strait of Messina in the north or blocking the Strait in the south.

If the Italian navy does not move, Scheer has no idea, and immediately passes through the Strait of Messina and leaves the battlefield at full speed, but is it the current situation? Some changes! The Italian fleet is heading south! And it's night time, it's hard to catch the decoy boat. The Italians won't find anything wrong until tomorrow, and how many hours have passed since this time?

"I will lead the King Albert to the Gulf of Taranto! It is said that the Italian battleship Admiral Santo and the armored cruiser Garibaldi were outfitted in the port of Taranto. If we are lucky, these two battleships May never serve again!" Admiral Scheer said.

"General, that means the fleet will turn to the north! The time difference that the decoy boats finally bought for us is gone. What if the Italian navy finds us and goes north? During the day, the Taranto Bay is very busy, we don’t Maybe avoid the Italians' ears!" An officer said in shock.

Taranto Bay is a relatively closed port, and the port of Taranto is relatively close to the inside. In addition, it is an important naval base in Italy after all. There must be some defense. It is indeed arrogant to challenge a port with a warship. some.

"We don't need to enter the range of the shore artillery!" Scheer took out a large-scale map of Taranto Port~www.NovelMTL.com~ on the east side of the port, and made two markers with a pencil! "I have long been thinking about how to solve these two battleships that are about to be completed. They are a bit of a big threat to us. According to our intelligence, these two battleships were outfitted on this berth, at least 3 days ago. The elevation angle of our artillery is large enough to be blind fired in time. The method of covering shooting is also sufficient to destroy the two warships. After all, there is a crane next to it as a reference, so it is easy to aim!"

"They are not equipped with armor, no artillery, just some high-explosive shells are enough! We can't give up this opportunity. Giving up is tantamount to a crime!" Scheer said firmly! Scheer was aggressive and warlike. In history, he dared to take the high seas fleet to challenge the blockade of the British Empire in the North Sea. At this time, when the Italian Navy went south, he would naturally not give up the opportunity! He firmly believes that in battle, offense is always better than defense!

"Swordfish can set up minefields outside Taranto Bay, delaying the pace of the Italian fleet." The Captain of the Swordfish, Major Staf, said after thinking about it.

"This plan is feasible, but now I hope you can be more proactive. If you are allowed to enter the Adriatic Sea, in Pescaana and Anconabre in eastern Italy, dare you?" Scheer looked at the major and said.
