The Hindenburg-class, the largest battleship in Germany, with a full load displacement of 70,000 tons, is a huge battleship specially designed for fighting in the Atlantic, and in the narrow Mediterranean, it always feels like it can't be used.

However, a warship must go through a run-in before it can exert its combat effectiveness, and the Mediterranean Sea is now an absolute inland sea, and it will not be disturbed by submarines, which is more suitable for the training of the German Navy, so this Stuttgart is now training in the Mediterranean.

On the tall bridge, Captain Hans von Fredberg looked at the silhouette of the continent at the junction of the sea and the sky in the distance, and his mood was quite heroic.

They have sailed into the Aegean Sea, in the east of the Aegean Sea, Turkey, in the west, Greece, and now, they are here to provoke, they are going to conduct a military exercise in the Aegean Sea!

Fredberg is just beginning to make his mark now, serving as first mate on the cruiser Karlsruhe in '36 and then participating in the military intervention in Spain as a naval staff officer. After the end of the Spanish War, he served as a naval staff officer at the command of the North Sea Fleet.

In these resumes, Fredberg was not particularly outstanding, so when he was promoted to captain of the Stuttgart, he still wondered in his heart, so many captains were staring at this position, this is the most combat-effective battleship in Germany, how could it be his turn?

It is said that this was personally promoted by Führer Ciric, which made his heart full of a sense of honor and mission, and he must not live up to Führer Ciric's high expectations!

Of course, Fredberg would not have known, Ciric had long been attentive to him, and those who were loyal to the Reich, Shirek would never forget, such as this Fredberg, in history, he was the commander-in-chief of the last German Navy, when he represented the German Navy, after signing the surrender, he chose to commit suicide and follow the Third Reich, which was gone.

Such people are the most loyal to the Empire, and of course they have to create their own glory, so the captain of the Stuttgart, under the hand-picking of Ciric, became Fredberg, and now he is only the rank of colonel.

Next to Fredberg was Vice Admiral Wilhelm Marchar, who was the commander-in-chief of the exercise, and after receiving the task, he chose the Hindenburg-class battleship for his flagship.

At this time, he was also using his telescope to look at the outline of the approaching coastline.

"General, on the aircraft carrier Hitler, according to the order, the carrier-based aircraft have begun to take off." At this moment, the combat staff officer said to him.

Vice Admiral Machar withdrew his gaze back to the formation, and right next to the Stuttgart, the aircraft carrier Adolf Hitler, was flying his carrier-based aircraft.

The deck was filled with steam, and an F190 fighter jet, quickly flew up from the deck, and the pilot, Lieutenant Colonel Plila, easily pulled the control stick, and with the roar of the 1800-horsepower engine, his fighter flew into the blue sky.

If the fleet is close to the Turkish waters, it is natural to worry about the attack of the Turks, although this possibility is very small, but it is necessary to be fully prepared.

Although the radar on warships has air-to-sea functions, the blind spot is too large, so in this era, it still mainly relies on the visual identification of pilots.

Like now.

As Lieutenant Colonel Plila's fighter plane climbed, he looked at the horizon in the distance, where the Turkish coastline was, and just twenty kilometers from the coastline was the Turkish air base.

The F190 fighter pulled up, whistling in the sky, and flew in the direction of Turkey, and under the wings, the black cross was so dazzling.

Behind Lieutenant Colonel Plila, F190s took off one after another, plus two other escort aircraft carriers, a total of forty fighters took off.

Plila's plane soon approached the Turkish coastline, and he did not have the slightest intention of stopping, and kept flying towards Turkish airspace.

On the coastline, Turkish air defense positions.

One by one, the soldiers looked at the sky with angry eyes, their anti-aircraft guns were next to them, but, without orders, they did not even dare to prop up their anti-aircraft guns.

If there is friction, as long as their own anti-aircraft artillery fires into the sky, then the next moment, the German shells will rain frantically, and the German Stuka bombers will also drop countless bombs, maybe the Germans are waiting for this opportunity to make a move against Turkey.

Though they were angry in their hearts, they were helpless.

"Stand up for me, and if the Germans dare to invade our airspace, kill him!" A squad leader of a Turkish anti-aircraft artillery finally couldn't take it anymore and shouted loudly.

His men also moved quickly, crunching and shaking their anti-aircraft guns, and at this moment, the company commander ran over eagerly: "You fool, you have angered the Germans, can you afford this responsibility?" Quick, retract the anti-aircraft guns! ”

In the face of the provocation of the Germans, the Turks did not even have the courage to show their weapons.

Fortunately, the planes of the Germans, without directly invading their airspace, were on the coastline, and Lieutenant Colonel Pulilla pulled the control stick, and his fighters were very careful not to enter Turkish airspace, but only circled around the border.

In the rear, at the Turkish air bases, there are also no fighters taking off, and now, the fighters of the Turkish Air Force are all old and do not dare to compete with German fighters at all.

The coastal defense artillery units on the coast were the most feared, and the range of their coastal defense guns could not reach the German Navy sailing on the Aegean median line, but the naval guns of the battleships of the German Navy could easily hit their positions.

On a rudimentary shore defense gun position, the Turkish officer looked at everything in the telescope in amazement, the German battleship was turning the barrels of their naval guns, especially in the middle, the huge Hindenburg-class battleship, the 460 mm naval guns, were so majestic.

"In this era, our German navy is the most powerful, and whoever tries to provoke us and disobey us will pay a heavy price." At this time, on the bridge, watching your own naval guns turn, two in front and one in the back, a total of three 460 mm naval guns, turned to the side side, just this action is enough to make people satisfied.

In later generations, the U.S. Navy flaunted its might by driving aircraft carriers to show off, but if you look at it visually, you absolutely cannot allow the battleship's naval guns to be so spectacular.

The Turks, under the deterrence of the German Navy, were already trembling.
