Chapter 310: Plan

When Qin Chuan said this, he couldn't help but turn over and hugged Annette.

Annette seemed to be prepared, and she responded enthusiastically with her hand around the back of Qin Chuan's neck in accordance with Qin Chuan's movements.

At that moment, Qin Chuan felt that his breath was taken away by Annette, and the two of them rolled into the jungle next to them in disguise.

The rifle was thrown aside, the telescope also fell into the bushes, and the rain "crackled" on the leaves, but the two of them didn't realize it, and time seemed to stand still, arousing Qin Chuan's inexplicable uneasiness and restlessness......

At this moment, a voice came from the rain curtain opposite: "Lieutenant, someone wants to see you!" ”

Qin Chuan stopped his movements, and then scolded in annoyance: "Oh, fuck it!" ”

Annette couldn't help laughing, then held Qin Chuan's face and "bite" fiercely, then turned over, picked up the rifle and ran away.

Alfredo, who came to look for Qin Chuan, looked at Qin Chuan with an angry expression and didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly explained: "Lieutenant, it's someone from the navy, Colonel Ellen!" ”

"Navy? What did they come to me for? Qin Chuan replied angrily.

"I don't know, Lieutenant!" Alfredo replied somewhat innocently, he didn't know what he had done wrong.

Qin Chuan was a little glad that it was Alfredo and not Werner who came to him, otherwise, Werner would definitely guess what the reason was.

Needless to say, what is the matter of the navy looking for Qin Chuan, Raeder asked a colonel to invite Qin Chuan to give Qin Chuan enough face, plus Qin Chuan was invited together with Colonel Slane, so of course he couldn't refuse.

Several men drove in several jeeps, accompanied by a car full of guards, to the port of Algiers, where they boarded the Algiers' fleet "Dunkirk".

To Qin Chuan's surprise, Dar Lang, who had been captured before, was also listed.

It is ironic that almost the entire French navy was built by Darlan...... After the First World War, France had few warships left to use, and even dismantled the Normandy-class battleships due to financial and resource reasons after the war.

On the other hand, France had almost no naval needs after World War I: France was allied with the naval power Great Britain, its ideological enemy, the Soviet Union, which had only a few broken ships that could barely sail out of port, and Germany was limited by the Treaty of Versailles...... So looking at the world, France did not have to worry about the threat from the sea at all.

It was not until Darlan became commander of the French Navy that it took ten years to build the new battle cruiser "Dunkirk" and the world's most powerful dreadnought, the "Richelieu"-class battleship (note: only one Richelieu-class was built).

At this time, Darlan was standing on a battleship that he had single-handedly built, but the warship was German.

Darrang showed extraordinary composure, and he even took the initiative to shake hands with Colonel Slain and Qin Chuan.

When shaking hands with Qin Chuan, Darlang whispered: "Lieutenant, my efforts for more than ten years seem to be prepared for you!" ”

"I'm honored, General!" Qin Chuan replied: "I think you should be glad about this, otherwise they may be blown up in the port of Toulon!" ”

"Really?" Darlang smiled bitterly and gritted his teeth: "You mean to ...... Am I glad I'm where I'm now? ”

At this time, Marshal Raeder walked out, and while he warmly shook hands with Slane and Qin Chuan, he said, "Colonel, lieutenant, welcome." I think you've already met General Darlan! ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Colonel Slain put on a surprised expression, and he clearly didn't understand Raeder's purpose in inviting Darlan to come.

"This is one of our drills!" Raeder explained with a smile, "I want General Darlan to give us a suggestion!" ”

But this was obviously not true, and both Slain and Qin Chuan could see that Raeder was showing off to Darlang...... During this time, Raeder had obtained enough information about the warships from the captured French Navy, plus the German Navy itself was a veteran, so they were already proficient in operating the warships.

With a long whistle, the "Dunkirk" left the harbor in the hazy rain and headed for the Tunis Strait.

In the command room, the officers, including Darlan, listened to Raeder's plan for the exercise in front of the map (Darlan was under house arrest and completely out of contact with the outside world, so the Germans were not worried that he would leak secrets).

"As you can see!" "The area around the Tunis Strait is special, with Sicily, Sardinia and the Tunisian coast forming a three-leaf spiral-like sea with the midpoint in the area of the port of Bizerte in Tunisia, which is to say...... As long as we hold the port of Bissette, we will block the Strait of Tunis! ”

The officers nodded in agreement.

Raeder continued: "The most likely British attack is to use the island of Malta as a base and attack the port of Bizerte from both the air and the sea, as long as they take the port of Bizerte, they can attack Algiers to the west, and to the north they can enter the Tyrrhenian Sea and rely on Sardinia and Corsica to circle with us...... That's when it's hard for us to plug them! ”

Qin Chuan nodded in agreement, the sea area in the western Mediterranean Sea is very complicated, and several large and small islands divide the sea area into pieces, and the scope is still very wide...... If the British fleet were allowed to enter the seas, they would play a game of hide and seek with the German fleet, and the German fleet would be passive, because on the one hand, they would have to search for British warships and on the other hand, they would have to worry about their own harbor being attacked.

"So!" "I've divided the fleet into two parts," said Raeder...... Some were stationed in the port of Bizerte, while others were based in the port of Cagliari and cruised the Tyrrhenian Sea. In this way, as soon as the British fleet tries to break through from the Tunisian Strait, they will face a flanking attack from both directions! ”

The officers couldn't help but nod their heads, and the naval officers applauded.

Qin Chuan couldn't help frowning and asked Raeder: "Your Excellency Marshal, what do you mean...... You've split the fleet into two parts? ”

"Any questions?" Raeder asked.

"Have you ever thought about ......" Qin Chuan said, "the enemy's attacks are mainly from the air and not from the sea?" ”

"Of course!" Raeder replied: "You are saying that the fleet in the Tyrrhenian Sea is vulnerable to enemy air strikes!" ”

Raeder pointed to Sicily on the map and said, "But...... The Air Force of the British had to pass through Sicily first, didn't it? ”

Apparently, Raeder was overestimating the capabilities of the Italian army.
