It was at this time that John Brown, Governor of Malta and Marshal of the Army during World War II, was appointed Governor of Malta. Standish. Certis. Prendergast. Verrick [Viscount Gort], hurrying, sweating profusely, came to break into the Royal Navy's Portsmouth Naval Base and came to Prime Minister Churchill.

"What's going on, how did you come from the other side of the Mediterranean?"

"Malta is one of the important bases of our British Imperial Navy, and it is also a place where soldiers from all countries must fight, and it is also known as an important strategic zone known as the "heart of the Mediterranean". ”

As soon as he saw the sudden appearance of the other party, Churchill immediately scolded with a gloomy face.

"Prime Minister, you forgot, because of the arrival of Vice Admiral Kincaid and the aircraft carrier fleet under his command, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth summoned me over to meet them!"

After Viscount Goth was scolded by Churchill with such a grim face, he suddenly explained in a cold sweat.

"Hmmm! Is there such a thing? I really forgot, sorry! But why are you in such a hurry to come to me? Haven't all the aircraft carrier fleets of the US military already left? Why don't you send me back to Malta right away! ”

Churchill continued to say with displeasure.

"I was also in a hurry to go back, but as soon as I arrived at the airport, I received a rescue telegram from my subordinates! The Germans have sent a large number of new submarine forces, and the aircraft carrier fleet and aviation units are attacking Vice Admiral Kincaid and the aircraft carrier fleet under his command, as well as Malta and other places where I am stationed! ”

"So I'm going to report to you right away, and ask for air support! Because Malta has been bombed beyond recognition by the German air force, the war is raging! If we hadn't received the support of our Empire's aviation units, I'm afraid we would have suffered even more heavy losses! ”

"What! How did the Germans do this, weren't they engaged in a naval battle with Admiral Cunningham in Sicily? How could a large number of aviation units and new submarine forces be sent to attack Vice Admiral Kincaid and the aircraft carrier fleet he commanded, as well as Malta! ”

"Impossible, how could this be! I am very clear about the strength of the German Navy, they don't have that kind of strength, and so many submarines, aircraft carrier fleets, and even planes can't have so many! ”

"Especially since they have already fought so many large-scale air battles with us, it is absolutely impossible for them to have so many planes, and pilots!"

Churchill instantly widened his eyes at Viscount Gort's sudden bad news report, and he shouted in disbelief in a grumpy temper.

"But that's the way it is, what do we do now?"

Viscount Goth couldn't help but laugh, spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Hitler! You devil! Damn fascists! ”

Hearing this, Churchill was even more grumpy, and his voice was deafening.

“......”

All the naval officers around Churchill and other senior officers stared at each other nervously and worriedly.

For a while, they didn't think of any good countermeasures, and even Deputy Commander Alexander was quickly thinking about combat countermeasures.

"Malta! We can't afford to lose it! It is one of the most important strategic areas for us to attack the gateway to the European continent, so we must send aviation units to support it immediately! ”

It didn't take long for Alexander to decide.

"Aren't Eisenhower and a large number of our troops in Malta? Don't we all have an Air Force there? And there are quite a few of them stationed! Why can't you withstand the German air raids? ”

As soon as the words fell, Prime Minister Churchill, who was gradually regaining his composure, suddenly remembered.

"This may be because most of our air force and troops have been deployed to the Sicilian campaign, so now our Malta Island is in the void of troops, so the Germans took this opportunity to come to a surprise attack and kill us by surprise!"

Alexander analyzed.

"Bastard Germans! Malta we must not be able to lose, Charles. Frederick. Algernon. Viscount Portal, you will immediately lead all the Emir-class escort aircraft carriers, carrying more than 300 carrier-based aircraft, to Malta for support. ”

At the same time, he gave orders to the commander of the Allied Air Force in the Mediterranean Theater Arthur. William. Baron Ted, immediately send an aviation division to support Malta, you must not let Eisenhower have any damage, and desperately protect Malta, you must not lose it, otherwise give me military punishment! ”

After hearing this, Churchill roared again in a rage.

"And you, Alexander, you will also send me a group of aircraft carrier fleets immediately, and aviation units will immediately go to support the stability of Vice Admiral Kincaid and the aircraft carrier fleet under his command! Although their aircraft carrier fleet is very large, just in case, if they encounter danger or huge losses in our British waters, I am afraid that it will seriously affect the diplomatic relations between our two countries, as well as the future military support and wealth support of the United States to us! ”

Then Churchill decisively turned to Alexander and gave the order.

"Yes! Prime Minister Churchill, I will now go and assemble the aircraft carrier fleet, and the aviation units will immediately go to support! ”

Alexander replied immediately, with all seriousness.

"Pull all our submarine forces over and assist in the operation! I want all these German submarine forces to come and go! ”

Churchill said loudly with a hideous face.

"Yes! Prime Minister Churchill! ”

Alexander replied loudly again.

Then he hurriedly turned around and left with Viscount Potter, to gather the aircraft carrier fleet and the aviation units, and to complete their respective combat missions.

With their departure, Churchill continued to issue various battle orders.

At this moment, Churchill's heart was also nervous and frightened, because he never dreamed that the German submarine force could actually enter British waters and unknowingly carry out a surprise attack on the US aircraft carrier fleet that came to support.

Moreover, after several successive large-scale air battles, Germany was able to dispatch a large-scale air force to carry out a surprise air attack on Malta, a place where soldiers must fight.

For these two completely unexpected events, Churchill was really panicked.

Just now he was thinking about how to ridicule the German navy's naval strength with those high-ranking naval officers, or air force officers, other combat staff officers, and high-ranking officers, or how to catch up with and surpass the American aircraft carriers.

Who knows that before he began to triumphantly mock the naval strength of the German army, and before he had studied the development of the US aircraft carrier for a long time, he was immediately slapped in the face by the German army.

The Germans suddenly had not only a large fleet of aircraft carriers, but also a new submarine group capable of carrying out long-range incursions into the British mainland; As well as a large number of pilots and aviation units, it carried out surprise attacks on the Anglo-American allies.

Churchill was really nervous about the news that was not good for him. [.]
