Romanian Eagle

Chapter 676 Thessaloniki (Part 2)

The lively entrance ceremony made the local Bulgarians into a carnival, and at the same time, it also made the Greeks who oppressed them on weekdays fear that they would be retaliated and go back to Greece.

Of course, this phenomenon is also happening all over the former Bulgarian territory. With the occupation of the Romanian army (or Bulgarian army), the Greek government agencies in the region are ready to withdraw. Once Romania took over, they fled back to Greece like their butts were on fire.

However, when the carnival finally ended, the local Bulgarians returned to their normal lives. A large group of dark naval officers came to the port area. They observed the entire port and kept discussing the best plan.

For the navy, the biggest gain in receiving territory this time is the excellent port of Thessaloniki. Although the port is only 13 meters deep, it is sufficient for the current navy (the deepest draft is the Vlad-class 4 ship 10.21 meters). Moreover, as Romania's only good port in the Mediterranean Sea, the navy rushed over shortly after receiving the city.

"Here we plan to build a main battery, install a 380mm main gun that can rotate 360 ​​degrees, and have a range of up to 42 kilometers, which is enough to block the entire area to protect the safety of the port."

At Cape Calamaria, Admiral Nestaku, the commander of the fleet, listened to Colonel Dobot, the chief naval architect of the Navy, while inspecting the place himself.

"good."

Taking a look at the drawings, Admiral Nestaku already knew that the entrance to the sea between Cape Kalamaria and the opposite Vardar River is only 37 kilometers away from Prady, and the construction of a fort here is enough to block any thoughts of the enemy wanting to advance.

Colonel Dobot continued to point to the large hills behind. "We plan to build several forts here to prevent enemy raids from behind to seize the fort."

Regarding the construction of fortifications behind the battery, it is a basic operation, and every naval base in the world has such facilities. Because the vast majority of naval bases were seized from land attacks. The real attack from the sea is basically as rare as a rarity, so all countries attach great importance to the defense of the land.

"According to the design, we will set up 26 anti-aircraft positions around the port, equipped with 389 large, medium and small anti-aircraft guns and 495 anti-aircraft machine guns."

This far exceeds the air defense of other countries' naval bases, indicating that Romania attaches great importance to air strikes. Because Haiju has done many exercises before and found it. Attacks from the air are more difficult to defend against than from the sea, as there are no geographical restrictions at all, and attacks can come from all directions.

Also because the newly built naval base in Thessaloniki is too important (to face threats from other countries in the Mediterranean), its attention is also at the same level as the most important naval port of Varna.

This is also the reason why Admiral Nestaku, who is the commander of the fleet, needs to come and ask in person. And the completion of the naval port will become Romania's most important base in the Mediterranean.

Of course, the air defense of the port cannot rely solely on these ground air defense facilities. A newly established naval road-based flying wing (184 aircraft) is responsible for protecting the security of the port and its surroundings.

Admiral Nestaku, who completed the inspection at Cape Kalamaria, continued to inspect the future planned naval warehouses, oil storage, headquarters, airports and other facilities. These are the newly established municipal government, the first time for the navy to approve the land.

As for why the city government attaches great importance to the construction of the naval base, not only because of the order from Bucharest, but also because the construction of the base requires a lot of labor, which can contribute to the city government's economic boost. Moreover, after the base is completed, there will be more than 10,000 permanent naval personnel, and these people also need to spend in Thessaloniki, which is not a small amount for the city government.

In general, Nestaku, who has inspected almost the same, is satisfied.

But what should be said is still to be said, so I finally said it to the officer who was accompanying the construction. "The construction time is very tight this time. It's only less than a year. You need to pay more attention."

"Please rest assured, we have negotiated with the city government. They will recruit 20,000 laborers for us to be responsible for the construction of various facilities. Of course, we are mainly responsible for the command."

For such a large project, the time required is so tight, Nestaku also knows that basically don't expect to keep secret work, but he still said something. "I don't ask anything vague about the confidentiality of this construction work, but I must be prepared for someone to destroy it."

"Please rest assured, Commander. The intelligence and military police departments attach great importance to this. In addition, our navy's internal self-examination has been carried out, and the base information will not be disclosed to others."

"Then you have a heart."

Nestaku thought for a while and continued. "By the way, I want to organize a dinner party tomorrow. Just invite government officials and local celebrities, and also the generals of the army, so as not to say that we are too stingy."

"As ordered, Commander."

In the face of Nestaku's request to organize a dinner, other admirals could not agree, of course they agreed. Besides, the military and the government also need close cooperation, and the same is true for the army. Although the Romanian navy does not have a favorable impression of the army, it does not have such a situation of old and dead.

After a while, a list of invitations appeared in front of Nestaku. In addition to the names of the government and celebrities, on the army name, the column of the 39th Division Commander was written as Major General Mizke. And glanced at Nestaku, who had no objection to this, and handed the list back to the officer. "Just follow this list to invite."

…………

Mizik stretched his waist, and then called out his orderly.

"Fieler, are there still so many people coming to the barracks today to ask for enlistment?"

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Hearing the orderly answer, Mizik raised his head and smiled. For recruiting locals into the army, they have no right to do so and can only wait for news from Bucharest. However, based on his years of experience, it is estimated that in a week at most, the order to allow the locals to join the army will arrive. But that doesn't matter to him, the three-month training period for recruits to be recruited is unstoppable. He immediately handed over a document he signed.

"Give this order to Captain Rox."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

After the orderly left, Mizik picked up the phone. "Pick up Commander Vinnikov for me."

"Senior Venikov, I'm Mizke. I'm looking for you this time to discuss the exercise between our two divisions."

"I think the same way. Our two divisions are both newly formed divisions. The exercise by our two divisions can better stimulate the soldiers' competitive psychology, which is beneficial to both divisions."

"Yes, I will cooperate with you, these are all small issues. By the way, there is also the matter of the Navy's Vice Admiral Midraphael hosting a banquet to invite us."

"No problem, let's go together then."
