Romanian Eagle

The reason for the dispute between the two was that a British reconnaissance plane was shot down outside the fleet by a guard fighter jet. However, before it was shot down, radio waves had been detected. That is, their location has been discovered.

In the face of this situation, Lieutenant Admiral Midraphael, the commander of the fleet, asked to leave immediately after the return of the carrier aircraft. As the chief of staff, Major General Fernandez has different opinions. He believes that the British army in Egypt should not have many planes that can attack the fleet. As long as the fleet is ready for anti-submarine warfare, another wave of planes should be released to blow up Alexandria more thoroughly.

Facing Major General Fernandez's idea of ​​trying to maximize the results, Midraphael didn't agree at all, only to see him retort.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, as a hunter, we cannot only focus on the prey in front of us and forget the possible danger behind us. Although I also know that another wave of air strikes will completely paralyze Alexandria, it will put us in danger. middle."

"Your Excellency, our air strikes have wiped out the air essence of the British army stationed in Egypt. Combined with the telegram we received a moment ago, the British army has dispatched gladiators and Hawker fighter jets to intercept our air raid group, which is enough to show question."

Facing Fernandez's rebuttal, Midraphael strongly disagreed. "Your Excellency, what you think is the most ideal state, but the war cannot be done according to your own ideal state. Moreover, the British fighter aircraft encountered by the air raid group in Alexandria was only the first interception.

And have you ever thought about it, now that our position is exposed, it is very likely that the British army will no longer intercept our air raid fleet in Alexandria, and they can simply let us attack and organize fighter planes to attack our fleet. And at this time, how should we deploy our troops? "

Yes, Midraphael may not have heard of Tian Qi's horse racing allusions, but the truth is all figured out. Compared with the old ships of the British Mediterranean Fleet, this is a new ship in Romania. Not to mention that he can't change it, it hurts even if he touches Midraphael.

And this fleet is basically the entire strength of the Romanian Navy. There was an accident, which made Midraphael explain.

However, in the face of Commander Midraphael's words, Fernandez was unable to speak. Although he consciously believed that the British army no longer had much air power, he only needed to work harder to completely destroy Alexandria. It's just that this is just self-consciousness, but self-consciousness can't be used as a reason to say it, let alone the full strength of the Romanian Navy in this fleet.

So he could only speak in a negotiated tone. "We can reduce the scale of the third air strike after the fleet returns, how about 150 sorties, which can reduce the time we stay there."

Midraphael heard the words of his chief of staff,

Get out of breath.

"My chief of staff, it's already past 12 o'clock when the aircraft group returns. How late do you plan to come back after the next air strike, it will take at least 2 hours, and this is not counting the supply time for the return. If you add it, it will take at least 3- It doesn't end until 4 o'clock. Let the fleet stay in a position known to the enemy for 4-5 hours. Do you know the danger?"

Seeing that the commander completely rejected his proposal, Fernandez wanted to fight for it one last time.

"But……"

I saw Midraphael stretched out his hand to stop it, and the chief of staff wanted to continue what he said. I saw him speak decisively. "There is no but. Now I am issuing an order with the authority of the fleet commander: when the fleet returns, we will set off immediately. According to the predetermined plan, we will enter the sea of ​​love from the west of Crete and return to the port of Thessaloniki."

Facing Midraphael's order to retreat, Fernandez did not argue any more. I saw him walking out of the command room and outside.

Standing on the command tower of the Kurmis, this sea area is full of Romanian battleships. From the mighty battleships in the inner layer to the destroyers in the outermost layer of the fleet, they are all closely protecting the five ships in the core area. aircraft carrier.

And Fernandez felt that the pattern of naval battles would change after this war. The aircraft carrier will also be upgraded from the auxiliary status to the status of equal importance to the battleship.

"Maybe after I go back, I should report to the top and urgently increase the construction plan of the aircraft carrier."

Fernandez pondered in his mind while smoking a cigarette.

Of course, the time it takes to build a regular aircraft carrier is not short at all, at least two years. Of course, before that, maybe a few more escort aircraft carriers should be rebuilt.

He looked at the Buck and the Jarscu, which were obviously different from the three fleet carriers, and thought to himself which fast cruise ships in Romania would be suitable for renovation. It is long and fast, but also suitable for renovation. These requirements are really a headache. Maybe you have to wait until you go back and ask someone for help.

That's right, now Fernandez is thinking about what's next. Now that Commander Midraphael has made a decision, he did not continue to struggle. And through the telegram, I learned that the two air strikes basically achieved their own results, although there are still some regrets. For example, in his third air raid plan, in addition to continuing to attack warships in the port, he also needs to further attack the facilities in the port.

However, it took a long time for the returning aircraft group to appear in front of everyone.

The five aircraft carrier rifts began to receive intense and busy work, but compared with the last time, the ground crew was much more relaxed, because they did not need to refuel and reload their fighters.

It's just that the bloodstained people carried out from the fighter planes from time to time are also showing their danger. The crews of carrier-based aircraft are more dangerous than others.

Therefore, although the time for the return flight was more concentrated this time, the receiving work was carried out very quickly. They just need to command the planes to park, and then put them into the hangar with elevators. Of course, the last one to land must be the HF201 fighter jet. This aircraft has a long stay in the air, and it is also a fighter jet. Of course, it needs to be reserved for the final reception.

And after receiving them, many were not placed in the hangar, but remained on the deck. This is also a move made in response to possible dangers.

It's just that the pilots who have been flying from the morning to the present need to work harder for a while.

After the returning fleet was recovered, Midraphael glanced at the casualty report and issued an order. "Start returning now."

Following his order, the fleet, which had been here for a long time, immediately sped away.

As for the victims of this air raid, General Cunningham of the Mediterranean Fleet also received news of the departure of the Romanian fleet an hour and a half later.

Of course, being able to know so quickly is also the credit of the British Air Force. Although the British Air Force does not know about coming and going without indecent assault, revenge must be done, even if its own strength is not enough. Therefore, when the British fleet of the brigade was divided into several groups and rushed to the position of the Romanian fleet on the telegram, the fleet was not seen.

And while continuing to look around, he didn't see his figure. It's not that I didn't see it, but the news of nearly a hundred fighter jets over the fleet at that time made these big herring and swordfish dare not go to court death. Of course, another reason is that the Romanian fleet is already outside their combat radius.
