Romanian Eagle

"hurry up."

Outside Alexandria, nervous-looking men in traditional Arabic robes were unloading tires and gasoline from a car. These must be impersonations, as they clearly differ from the Arabs' skin color, but it is impossible to tell from a distance.

And this is not in the city of Alexandria, but in the outskirts of the country, the British jurisdiction has plummeted. No matter what, this is the territory of Egypt, although it is a puppet regime.

These dudes posing as Arabs drove up the hill with scrap tires and gas tanks. They need to be on a high point and set up.

After carrying all the tires and gasoline to the top of the hill, everyone collapsed to the ground, and after everyone rested for a while, the leader looked at his watch and greeted the others. "It's 5:30 now, get ready to light the fire."

Following his voice, the resting man immediately divided the waste tires into three piles and sprayed them with gasoline. I saw the person in charge lit the lighter, took a sip of the cigarette for himself, and threw the lighter on a prepared pile of gasoline-smelling tires.

"boom"

The tires glued to gasoline were just a little on the spot, and the flames were higher than people, and the billowing smoke made the already bright sky, the black smoke column was faintly visible.

"boom"

"boom"

The other two fires were also lit, and now three pillars of black smoke make it even more iconic.

"Okay, let's go back to the car."

Led by the leader, the men returned to the car and are now ready to leave. They were not the only group who lit fires near the coast. During this time, there were no less than a dozen places where fires were lit on the coast of Alexandria and nearby.

As for the leader aircraft responsible for navigation, it was able to find Alexandria faster with its smoke column.

Early in the morning, inside the Mediterranean Fleet Command, Cunningham had just woken up. As the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet of the British Empire, he has been very busy recently. Because of Britain's declaration of war on Romania, the Mediterranean Fleet had to undertake the dual task of monitoring the Italian Navy and blocking the Romanian Navy in the Love Sea overnight.

This was a serious consideration for him, given that his Mediterranean army consisted of only four battleships (Rodney, Sovereign, Malaya, Warspite), two aircraft carriers (Eagle, Rage) and The Repulse is the battle cruiser, plus 3 heavy cruisers, 7 light cruisers and a large number of destroyers and submarines.

But fortunately, the mainland also knew his difficulties, and specially dispatched the Royal Ark and the battleship Nelson to support him. That's right, it's the Nelson. The Home Fleet gave the Mediterranean Fleet its only two Nelson-class ships. Of course, it is not because Cunningham has a big face, but because the George V and Prince of Wales are already in service, all of them have the spare capacity to take care of the Mediterranean fleet.

And this George V-class battleship did not use a 14-inch main gun as in history. Faced with the 15- and 16-inch main gun calibers in Europe, the British saved a 16-inch main gun by saving their money. Therefore, this George V-class battleship is equipped with 9 406 main guns, with a front 2 rear 1 layout, a standard displacement of 35,000 tons, a full-load displacement of 45,000 tons, and a speed of 29 knots. It can compete with a large number of Axis 380 and 406 caliber warships.

The two ships arrived in Alexandria a week ago. With these two ships, Cunningham has the confidence to compete with the Romanian fleet.

That's right, it's a fight. To win, you must make good use of shore-based aircraft.

Take a look at the construction time of the battleship in Cunningham's hand, and look at the construction time of the Romanian battleship. It is very good that he can compete. Of course, it is not that he has not thought about winning by surprise, but there are many waterways in the love sea, although there is a large island that you can borrow. But Romania was on guard, so he couldn't find a chance.

After the Romanian Navy reconnaissance plane opened, the reconnaissance plane has been patrolling back and forth in the Aegean Sea. Let Cunningham not see the opportunity for sneak attack.

And now Cunningham, who had just finished washing up, put on his military uniform, and planned to find the two new captains to have breakfast together and get in touch with each other.

At this time, I saw Lieutenant Colonel Lawrence, who was in charge of intelligence work, and pushed open his door with a snap, holding a telegram in his hand. Anyone could see the anxiety on his face.

"What's the matter, Lieutenant Colonel?"

Unperturbed Cunningham sorted out the thread on his cufflinks and asked him about his purpose.

"Lieutenant General, our agents found that the Romanian fleet was not in the port of Thessaloniki, and its whereabouts are currently unknown."

"Bring it to me to see."

Facing the words of the lieutenant colonel, Cunningham stopped himself. I saw him reaching out to take the telegram.

This was a telegram sent directly from Thessaloniki. The latent agent in charge of espionage found out that three days ago, Thessaloniki had been under martial law, and at the same time, no one was allowed to enter or leave the port area to know that there was a problem. He tried every means to inquire about the news, but the military and police blocked it very tightly, so it was extremely difficult to inquire about the news. Knowing that it was only early this morning that there was no fleet in the port, so I immediately sent a message to report it.

After reading the telegram, Cunningham thought about it and immediately asked. "Have we found anything unusual on our patrol recently?"

In the face of Cunningham's question, Lieutenant Colonel Lawrence said after thinking about it carefully. "No, the planes and warships we patrolled before found no abnormal reports."

"So are there any other reports of anomalies?"

"nor."

After three days without a trace, where will these Romanian fleets go?

Cunningham walked back and forth thinking. Without the help of other intelligence, just one fleet disappeared for three days, so he couldn't figure out the situation. But no matter what the situation is, it's always good to make your own preparations a priority.

"Send a telegram to the Cypriot side immediately, ordering them to send planes to search the Aegean Sea in a fan shape. In addition, send a telegram to the Cypriot side to let them be vigilant. In addition, let the airport side prepare to send planes to conduct a careful search around us in a fan shape. ."

"I'm fine, I'll order now."

"Wooh~wooah~wooah"

The two were talking, only to hear the sudden loud chirping of the air defense siren.

The two of them combined with the telegram they just received, and their expressions changed greatly. Unexpectedly, Romania slipped into the team to his side.

On the pilot plane, Lieutenant Colonel Elsed couldn't help feeling overjoyed when he saw the five battleships, two aircraft carriers, and various cruisers, large and small, as well as destroyers, neatly parked in the harbor.

How can such an undefended warship in the harbor be a carrier-based aircraft opponent led by him.

Immediately, he sent a telegram that said to have come from His Majesty and that the surprise attack that would bring good luck was successful.

"Tiger, tiger, tiger!"
