The Polish campaign also ended with the spread of this famous photo. While sporadic fighting is still ongoing, large-scale organized resistance has ended.

Among them, the Polish government is the most funny. Immediately after Hoffmann and his army took Brest by surprise, the Polish government wanted to keep fleeing. It's just that when they learned that the Soviet Union was also marching into Poland, they scrambled to surrender to Hoffman, and at the same time proposed that they should not be handed over to either side of the Soviet Union.

And Hoffman agreed to their request without caring at the time. Subsequently, the military and political personnel who surrendered to Romania surged rapidly, reaching a peak of more than 20,000 a day. By the time the Soviet-German army also arrived in Brest, Hoffmann had captured more than 70,000 prisoners. They are basically military officers, intellectuals, government officials, etc., the Polish elite.

And Hoffman also felt a headache about capturing such a large Polish elite, as if he had accidentally done something wrong.

So when this issue reported to Edel, he also had a headache. These people can't let them go by themselves, and they can't kill them if they kill them. After thinking about it, he asked Hoffman to hand over these people to the Soviet Union on the grounds of insufficient rations.

As for what Stalin wanted to do, he had no control.

Of course, he did not pay much attention to the Polish campaign, because historically, Germany alone resolved the battle in about a month. And now with the addition of Romania, there is no reason why the time has dragged on.

And now he pays more attention to the situation of the navy, because the Romanian Army has proven through repeated battles that it is also a strong player in Europe and should be respected by everyone.

In terms of the navy, although the Romanian navy has surpassed Italy and ranked third in Europe, the Romanian navy has not conducted modern naval warfare at all before. (If the bombing of Bulgarian ports in World War I counts, that's one more time)

And now the Romanian navy needs to face the British and French navy, its centuries-old reputation is no joke. Although the Romanian navy has also trained hard and communicated with the navies of other countries, it is not destined to represent actual combat. The British and French navies have much richer experience. If nothing else, the first World War alone has brought them a lot of benefits.

Edel was also worried about this, and had to look for precedents in history. Not to mention, Edel also found a good example from it, that is, the Japanese navy.

Although Romania and Japan did not have many exchanges, after Eder withdrew from the Far East advisory group, the relationship between the two countries also warmed up rapidly. There is no way that personal feelings cannot block national interests, and Edel is also very clear.

And later generations know the most about the Japanese Navy in World War II is the Battle of Midway, the Battle of the Coral Sea, and the raid on Pearl Harbor.

That's right, Edel is now trying to learn from Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.

Although Edel wanted to raid the British Navy, he also knew that the earliest air raids in history were done by the British Navy. The Italian Navy suffered huge losses in the raid of the British Mediterranean Fleet, which directly resulted in the failure of the Italian Navy to take the lead after the war.

Since it is the originator who wants to deal with air raids, Romania must be well prepared. To this end, in addition to needing intelligence support, Edel also needs to find ways to do it.

I remember that before the Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor, they had done special training to simulate its venue. And this is what Eder naturally has to do to perfection. He has completely simulated an air raid zone in Burgas Bay to simulate an air raid on Alexander. And imitating the air defense of Alexandria here, providing carrier-based aircraft pilots with a more realistic battlefield situation and increasing their success rate.

Of course, under Edel's suggestion, the navy is not the only one. If you want to use the air strike of aircraft carrier-based aircraft, then the most important point is not to be discovered by the enemy. At this point, the Navy and intelligence departments need to think more.

Although Britain and France declared war on Romania, there were many fewer ships on this main channel, but there are too many small islands in the Love Sea. As long as they are seen by the military and civilians on the island, these Greeks don’t mind at all. news to the UK.

Don't doubt Greece's attitude towards Romania. If it wasn't for their strength, they would have followed Britain and France to declare war.

Therefore, in order to make a surprise attack on Alexandria, Romania needs to prepare a lot of work, and the difficulty is not low at all.

At least it will not be lower than the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, because the British aircraft stationed in Egypt is not like Pearl Harbor, as long as it is destroyed, it will be gone. In addition to the airport in Alexandria, there are also many British air forces stationed in Cairo and the Suez Canal. Without an effective response, the effectiveness of air strikes will be reduced too much.

Edel also attached great importance to this, and personally summoned Holmonkman to inquire about the progress of the intelligence work.

"Holmonkman, how is your intelligence department doing with Project Z?"

That's right, the Romanian raid plan was named Plan Z, where Eder could swear to God that it was definitely the Navy who came up with it. When he saw the Navy handing over the code name of the plan, he was stunned. Of course, Romania's Z plan is much smaller than Japan's. Romania takes the underpants as it, and it can't make up the Liuzhou aircraft carrier. You can only bring the only three large aircraft carriers in the family. There are also two escort aircraft carriers transformed with fast cruise ships (more than 30,000 tons, with a maximum of 47 fighter jets, and only fighter jets).

Then there are 5 battleships, 3 heavy cruisers, 6 light cruisers, more than 20 destroyers and submarines. It can be said that the Romanian navy has been brought along.

It can also be said that in order to ensure the success rate of air strikes, everything was bet.

So in the face of Edel's inquiry, Holmonkman naturally did not dare to be careless. "Your Majesty, our country currently has a sound intelligence network in Egypt, and the focus is also on Cairo, Alexandria and the Suez Canal. Since the beginning of the year, we have focused our work on Alexandria. We can do it within a week. , to report specific information in Alexandria every six hours. In addition, we also have a stronghold in the Aegean Sea so that the fleet can provide cover when passing through."

Hol Monkman's words have already shown that the intelligence department has made the greatest efforts for this Z plan. The next step is to rely on the navy itself and luck.

Yes, luck is very important in any military operation, the more dangerous the mission, the more important it is. Eder naturally hopes that the Romanian Navy will be lucky, but his excellent concealment work is also essential. Because no one knows whether the goddess of luck will favor you, but if you do your job well, you can also improve the success rate of the action.

After Holmonkman reported the work of the intelligence department, Edel could only wait for the fleet to attack smoothly. He looked at the time, and now there are less than three hours left before the attack, and because the target is too large, it is inconvenient to appear in Thessaloniki.

And Eder can only hope that this action can help Romania change the situation in the Mediterranean.
