The news that Alexandria was attacked by Romanian air raids caused a violent sensation not only in the UK. It also attracted widespread attention throughout the world, and even Chongqing, which was engaged in the Anti-Japanese War, gave it a large amount of coverage.
There is no way, the British Navy is recognized as the best in the world, and this was confirmed by defeating countless challengers, so this news seems to be shocking.
Especially after two days later, after the hijacked ship was released, more details about the Romanian fleet's surprise attack on Alexandria were revealed and released.
Especially on the Greek cruise ship Cristina, there were many whistleblowers, and all kinds of bizarre revelations appeared. Even sea monsters helped the Romanian fleet to cover up British reconnaissance. Such outrageous news was reported by unscrupulous tabloids.
.
However, in the major newspapers, they all called this surprise attack in Romania no less than the battle in Jutland. Its pioneering use of carrier-based aircraft to attack ports will make countries pay considerable attention to ports.
improvement.
Lieutenant General Midrafael and Major General Fernandez, who carried out this mission, were called the Geminis of the Romanian Navy and were known as the Poseidon Trident of the Romanian Poseidon.
Unlike the enthusiastic public, various countries paid more attention to this and analyzed the Romanian attack route more professionally. And they applauded the Romanian Navy's bold choice to quickly cross the main channel at night. Such an unconstrained approach is indeed completely
Unexpected.
However, there are differences on Romania's choice of hiding place. Some people think it is an unknown island, some think it is in a hidden sea area, and some think it can get help from a certain country.
However, no matter what kind of research, it cannot be denied that this surprise attack on Alexandria will make this war very delicate. Britain and France will face threats from two sides, Germany and Romania. What choice should Britain and France make?
.
In Washington, USA, Roosevelt had just finalized the plan to add two more aircraft carriers, which made Navy Secretary Stark and the famous Colonel King smile with joy.
In Japan, a group of naval generals were reviewing the Romanian surprise attack on Alexandria. After everything was completed, Yamaguchi Tawen couldn't help but praise. "I didn't expect that the commander of Romania, His Excellency Fernandez, would be like this."
Great courage. Release all the chess pieces in the first wave. It is a completely do-or-die move, which is really admirable."
On the side, Nagumo Chuichi praised another general. "The fleet commander, His Excellency Midrafael, is a model of courage and resourcefulness. He can resist the temptation to continue to expand the results of the war and never look back.
Just leave, just in time to miss the British plane attack."
Facing Nagumo Chuichi's words, Yamaguchi Takan couldn't help but retorted. "In my opinion, the third wave of attacks can actually continue. Those old British fighter planes are useless at all, and they can be shot down directly with the Zero.
At this time, the third attack is absolutely necessary. When I reviewed the situation just now, I thought the results should be expanded."
When Nanyunzhong heard what Yamaguchi said, he couldn't help it. "How can you call it necessary? At that time, the first priority in the face of the British attack was to save the warships. They were saved by frugality throughout the empire and it was not easy to save them."
, no need to use it for wave battles."
Seeing that these two people were about to quarrel, Yamamoto Isoroku, the commander of the combined fleet, immediately intervened. "Okay, you two, such a quarrel will only make people laugh. In addition to learning from Luo Guo, we
tactics, we should also learn to live in harmony from it. It must be said that Luo's air attack on the port method was very groundbreaking and sudden, which caused almost all casualties to the British Mediterranean Fleet. So we cannot relax, because our enemies are also
Quite a few. Because the Pacific is also very suitable for the use of aircraft carriers, so I hope you will work hard."
In Berlin, Germany, Romania's ally, Hitler was summoning Raeder.
"Marshal, what do you think about the air raid on Alexandria?"
Facing the head of state's inquiry, although he was dissatisfied with the early outbreak of the war, as a qualified soldier, Redl answered. "This victory for our ally Romania is enough to show that the British navy is not invincible. As long as we speed up the deployment of warships,
The construction work will definitely be able to compete with the British fleet."
Hearing that Raeder was involved in warship construction work again made Hitler a little dissatisfied.
There is no way, who allowed the war to completely disrupt Redel's shipbuilding plan. Now only half of the Z plan has been built, why doesn't this make him dissatisfied.
And now Hitler has nothing to do about it, because with the outbreak of war, facing his old enemy France, he needs to prioritize the needs of the army.
So he simply ignored Redel's cliche words and told him why he was looking for him this time.
"How is the construction of the two aircraft carriers going now?"
Hitler's inquiry made Raeder pay attention to it, and it was obvious that the Führer was interested in these two aircraft carriers.
"Currently, 85% of the work on the Graf Zeppelin has been completed. As long as the supplies keep up, it will be able to serve next year. As for the Peter Strasser, 57% of the hull has been completed. As long as sufficient supplies are guaranteed, it will be ready for service next year.
Will also serve."
Hitler thought for a while and said, "As for the construction of the Graf Zeppelin, I will instruct them to provide sufficient material guarantees. As for the Peter Strasser..."
Hitler said that it was stuck here. Germany only produced so much armor steel every year. The Army was not satisfied with the addition of the Navy, and the Navy was not satisfied with the addition of the Army.
But seeing the hope of seizing sea power, Hitler thought for a while and couldn't help but continue. "The construction work of the Peter Strasser cannot be stopped. I will find a way to raise supplies for you."
There was no way. Although Hitler didn't understand the navy, he was still able to pay enough attention to sea power. Before, Germany alone had no hope of resisting the British. Now, with the addition of the Romanian navy, it is enough to challenge the British and French navies.
And he has another way to get armor steel, which is to use Jews. Five Jews can be exchanged for one ton of armor steel, which is enough to make Edel, who likes to collect these, smile. Now the Jews in the occupied areas of Germany and Poland are simply like weeds, no
Exchange them for some supplies that can help Germany.
As for the plane issue, it came from Hitler's personal order, so Göring should know how to let it go.
When faced with Hitler's words, Raeder felt that this was a complete surprise. Although he had doubts about the effectiveness of aircraft carriers in the North Sea, it was at least better than nothing.
Moreover, Romania has already used aircraft carriers as a clear demonstration. If the German Navy cannot even learn this, then there is no need for him to be the commander of the navy.
