Chapter 369: Führer, You Still Have Hole Cards
"The Germans have now surrounded Rome, how can we withdraw? And didn't you take the lead in overthrowing Mussolini's regime? Do you feel like the Germans will let you go? And will they let you get out of Rome so easily? ”
After listening, King Emanuele III stared at each other with meaningful eyes and said. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"This ...... No! ”
Regarding the words of King Emanuele III, Count Ziano couldn't help but be in a cold sweat, and after hesitating for a while, he said.
"You don't have to worry so much, because without my nod this time, with your ability and power, there would be no way to capture Mussolini!"
"That means we're all grasshoppers in the same boat now! Not only will the Germans not let you go, but they won't let me go if they agree! ”
Seeing the other party's frightened expression, King Emanuele III said with a mocking expression.
"So what do we do now? Your Majesty! ”
Hearing this, Count Ziano looked up at King Emanuele III with hope, and hurriedly asked.
"What else can I do? Get ready for battle! ”
"Of course, we must first send personnel to negotiate with them, whether we can use peace talks to deceive them for a while, and then let us find a way to contact the British and American troops to support us against the German army!"
King Emanuele III said with a wry smile.
"Who will be sent to negotiate?"
After hearing this, Count Ziano's eyes suddenly became excited, and he said anxiously.
"You are in such a hurry, then I will send you to negotiate with the Germans! What do you think? ”
Looking at the anxious Count Ciano, King Emanuele III said with a playful smile.
"Ahh No! Send me, isn't that sending sheep into the tiger's mouth, and I can still survive the hands of the Germans? ”
When Count Ziano heard this, his face turned pale, and he shook his head and objected.
Seeing this, King Emanuele III only glanced at the other party with contempt, and then ignored him, but discussed with other high-ranking dignitaries.
At this time, in the waters near Sicily, a total of 8 battleships Bismarck and Tirpitz were ready to open fire.
"The Anglo-American air fleet was spotted at 7 o'clock, and all naval guns immediately loaded their shells and adjusted their range!"
"At a distance of 460-500 nautical miles to the southeast, the appearance of the Anglo-American fleet was detected, and the number of ships exceeded 100!"
"Attention all! Get ready to meet the enemy! ”
And when these battleships discovered the Anglo-American fleet and got closer and closer to the air force, all the ships were fully prepared for battle.
"A large number of enemy ships have sailed past 28°24'N latitude and 180°8'W, and in 10 minutes it has been discovered that the enemy air force has sent more than 150 planes and is attacking our fleet!"
"The azimuth is 278, the distance is 225 nautical miles, the course is 250, the speed is 18 degrees, there are at least 10 battleships, and there are only 80 other ships!"
"One enemy aircraft carrier fleet with a bearing of 239, a distance of 220, a course of 360, and a speed of 20 °."
"Distance 200, azimuth 335, course 330, speed 13 °, 5 heavy cruisers, 12 battleships, two aircraft carriers, and no less than 40 other ships were found!"
When all the ships of Dönitz's aircraft carrier fleet were preparing for battle, Dönitz's operational staff officer Goldstein also stood respectfully in front of Chen Yanlong and Dönitz, reporting on the battle situation.
"Hey! Unexpectedly, this time the British and American fleets sent so many aircraft carriers and ships to Sicily! ”
"It seems that this battle will not be easy for us! Maybe we, the Navy recruits who don't have much actual combat experience, are going to suffer! ”
After listening to the report of the operational staff officer Goldstein, Chen Yanlong stood up and paced a few steps, then grinned.
"Although most of the navy of aircraft carriers are new recruits, most of the officers and men of our battleships, heavy cruisers, destroyers and other ships are veterans with more combat experience, Führer!"
Hearing this, Dönitz immediately stepped forward and said confidently.
"Hmmm! Then this battle of Sicily depends on the performance of the aircraft carrier fleet under your command, I am just a bystander! ”
"Whether this naval battle is a victory or a defeat, or even whether my life is dead or alive, depends on the combat capabilities of your fleet! Marshal Dönitz! ”
Regarding Dönitz's confidence, Chen Yanlong just smiled and said.
"Yes! Monarch! This naval battle is a victory or a defeat! I will not disgrace the navy of our empire, and put your safety at risk, Führer! ”
After hearing this, Dönitz was suddenly covered in a cold sweat, and hurriedly expressed his loyalty and determination.
"Hmmm! I believe you! By the way, how did our new carrier-based aircraft F-8D carrier-based aircraft group perform in combat just now? Destroyed, and how many air fleets were shot down, and what about their damage? ”
Chen Yanlong nodded with satisfaction and said.
"They did a great job! At least 100 British and American planes were shot down and destroyed by us, and there were also 7 of the latest P-51 Mustang fighters of the US military, which were also destroyed by us! ”
Dönitz immediately reported happily.
"Hmmm! Although the battle time is not very long, only about half an hour, it is still good to have such a record! What about our losses? ”
Chen Yanlong nodded with great satisfaction.
"There are only more than 20 of them, and more than 10 of those pilots have left with safety parachutes!"
Dönitz thought cautiously for a moment, then continued to report.
"Hmmm! Their casualties were completely unexpected! Not bad! ”
"It's a pity that they have too little time to familiarize themselves with and train the F-8D carrier-based aircraft, otherwise maybe their record will be even more amazing! But now it's enough to shock and shock those British and American troops! ”
Chen Yanlong said happily with a smile on his face.
"The Führer is wise!"
In this regard, Dönitz also quickly echoed with a bright smile.
"Hey! Since our carrier-based aircraft pilots are in such excellent combat condition, then wait for your fleet's record to work hard, and don't be compared to your own carrier-based aircraft flying team! ”
"You know, I've given you a lot of powerful battleships, heavy cruisers, and destroyers!"
Having said this, Chen Yanlong suddenly looked at Dönitz with a smile in a playful tone and said.
As soon as the words fell, Dönitz trembled nervously, and then hurriedly replied loudly with determination: "I will definitely do my best to win at all costs!" Monarch! ”
"Hey! Don't be so nervous, I'm just joking with you, even if your aircraft carrier fleet is not an opponent of the Anglo-American fleet, I still have a backhand! You and I won't die in this naval battle, and when my final hole cards are played, maybe you will still have a strong sea advantage! ”
Chen Yanlong waved his hand and responded easily with a smile on his face.
"Ahh Monarch! Do you still have hole cards? ”
Hearing such an unexpected reply, Dönitz was stunned for a moment, and his face was full of confusion.
