Without waiting for Tan Ren Hao they went to attack the Gibraltar fortress on the 4th of February. That is, in the First Fleet arrived

When he reached a place not far off the coast of Rabat, Tan Renhao received a telegram from the Second Fleet, half an hour

After a while, a seaplane flew over, and it was not an Imperial plane, but a Persian naval plane.

An officer of the Imperial North African Expeditionary Force sent Tan Renhao and them instructions for the new land.

"The Second Fleet is coming?" Hao Dongjue was a little unconvinced. They took down Munro so quickly

Viva? ”

"It should be the British who surrendered. Two days before the surrender of the British army in Monrovia, our expeditionary force was ready

The fort of Gibraltar was laid." Tan Renhao gave another document to Hao Dongjue. Now, we don't

It is necessary to attack the Gibraltar fortress, but the fleet is still going to the Gibraltar fortress, and I will do it tomorrow

Going to Tangier."

"What are you doing in Tangier?" Hao Dongjue looked at Tan Renhao in surprise. Tangier is in Gibraltar

To the south of the strait, it belongs to the territory of the Persian Empire.

"I guess I'm going to negotiate with the Persian Imperial Navy about joint operations, right?" Chang recommended the new has already guessed

Come out.

"And not only with the Persian Navy, but also with the German Navy to send representatives . In addition, Jiang Zhongmin also has to rush over." Talk

Ren Hao sighed, "Anyway, it's a troublesome matter, the fleet went to the Gibraltar fortress to replenish fuel and do a temporary rest.

The order was given directly by the naval command, and it seems that we will have to be more German and Persian navies this time

Cooperation."

■ Dongjue and Chang Jian Xindu laughed, and Tan Renhao also felt very helpless, the so-called wall fell down and everyone pushed it, now

In the UK, it is about to come to an end, and no one will be left behind in grabbing benefits.

"Renhao, then you can continue to have a headache." Hao Dongjue grabbed his brother-in-law's shoulder, "Fleet affairs."

You're relieved. Zhu Rongzhe will be optimistic about the fleet, and there is me and Lao Chang. But. Arrived at Dan

Jill, you kid, don't think you can do anything without our supervision."

Tan Renhao put away Hao Dongjue's hand, and it was definitely not him who was really acting arbitrarily.

"Don't worry, we'll take care of the fleet's affairs, and when we get to Tangier, contact us

Outside, if there is something else. Feel free to let us know."

"Otherwise, I'm not worried." Tan Renhao walked to Chang Jianxin's side, "The Second Fleet is also going to Gibb."

Luo Tuo Fortress, when the time comes, you have to help me keep an eye on Hao Dongjue, if this kid dares to talk nonsense. You just take him

House arrest up, I'll give you the authorization directly. Other than that. Have time to talk a little bit more with your former partner."

Chang Jianxin nodded immediately, he knew very well what he meant. Commander of the 6th Task Force

It's Gu Zhenyun, Chang Zhixin has cooperated with Gu Zhenyun for a long time, and the relationship between the two is not bad, if

was able to win over Gu Zhenyun and get the support of the Sixth Task Force. It has a lot to do with the next battle

Earth helps.

"Alright, we won't talk about anything else. You guys go back and get ready." Tan Renhao filmed

patted Chang Jianxindi on the shoulder, and then glanced at Hao Dongjue, "After I get to Tangier, I will contact you again."

Maybe we'll be able to do it soon this time, I hope so."

The next morning, Tan Renhao boarded a light carrier-based transport plane and took shelter in a squad of fighters

Escorted down Tangier. By the time he arrived, the representatives of the German and Persian navies had already arrived. Talk

Ren Hao was the representative of the Imperial Navy, and the Navy Command sent several staff officers to assist him. Jiang Zhong

The people arrived in the afternoon of the same day, and according to the arrangement of the naval headquarters, Jiang Zhongmin was the imperial navy

The representative of the foreign fleet, that is, the deputy of Tan Renhao. The local staff officer of the Navy Command brought Tan Renhao

Several important documents were issued, and this time in Tangier it was the United Fleet of the Three Kingdoms that had to be dealt with to strangle the British

and to seize the Atlantic sea supremacy of the operational arrangement.

The capture of the fortified territory of Gibraltar was completed by the Imperial European Legion. Persian Empire Army

It entered the Spanish occupation zone on January 15, and on January 18, the Imperial European Legion

By means of the occupied territories of the Persian Empire. Advance to the north of the Gibraltar Fortress. The battle lasted only a few days, and the guards straightened

The British army in the fortress of Braltar was routed. And the one deployed in the fortified area of Gibraltar is very large

The British fleet fled on the thirteenth, just before the arrival of the Persian Mediterranean fleet. hero

The people of the country voluntarily abandoned the fortress of Gibraltar. The Imperial European Legion has also picked a bargain.

After the capture of the fortress of Gibraltar, the Mediterranean Sea was already connected with the Atlantic theater of operations, and later

The problem of diligent security is also solved. According to the land agreement between the empire and Persia at that time, the Persian Empire would be

The Imperial Navy fleet that fought in the Atlantic provided fuel and food, while supplies were provided by the Imperial Navy

Do it yourself. The supply fleet was deployed in Alexandria, so it took less than three days to replenish the supplies

The fleet was able to deliver supplies to the Gibraltar fortress, and the supply routes were greatly shortened. Ammunition ground supply is required

A little more troublesome, this still has to be transported from the mainland of the Empire, but instead of taking a detour to the Cape of Good Hope, take the Sui

The route of the Taxi Canal can shorten the voyage by about 8,000 miles. Furthermore, the North Atlantic region will be in the future

War materiel is mainly transported through the South China Sea-Indian Ocean-Red Sea-Mediterranean-North Atlantic route

, which is about 3,000 nautical miles shorter than the Pacific-Panama Canal-Caribbean route

And with a large number of ports along the way for the fleet to dock, it is possible to invest in more transport fleets without need

There is a fear that the infrastructure will not be used enough to deploy more transport fleets.

From a logistical point of view, the Gibraltar Fortress is more important than the Panama Canal. In from

From the empire itself, the transportation routes to the west were shorter, and at the same time, fuel from the Persian Empire could be more convenient

Sent to the North Atlantic theater, and fuel is the largest proportion of all war materials, is also transported

Send the most troublesome piece to work. In addition, it is possible to use the railway line to share part of the transportation work

All you need to do is load the ship in Beirut, Islamabad, or Alexandria before passing through Gibraltar

The strait enters the North Atlantic. It is also the case that some of the problems that previously seemed almost unsolvable are now unsolvable

All are easily solved, Tan Renhao no longer needs to be for war materials. and to cooperate with the Marine Corps in the field of operation

And worried.

It was precisely because of the capture of the fortress of Gibraltar that the matter of attacking British soil was put on the agenda

The agenda came up and this was one of the most important things that would determine the fate of the whole of Europe. The Tang Empire and the Mao Dun of Germany

Needless to say, and with the Persian Empire the navy could go out of the Atlantic. The Persian Empire was also dealing with the British

There is a say in the issue of land and land. Because the Tang Empire was dealing with the Spanish land issue, and in the future

The Italian question was biased in favor of the Persian Empire, so the Persian Empire dealt with the British land question

Secretly supported the Tang Empire. Sending its Mediterranean fleet to assist the Tang Empire's navy in the war, this is the Persian Empire

The most direct performance.

When Tan Renhao and them went north, the Imperial Navy was deploying marines, and even with the Imperial Army

An agreement was reached whereby the Army would send the European Expeditionary Force and the North African Expeditionary Force in the event of an attack on British soil

Cooperate with naval operations. In fact, the two expeditionary forces of the army and the ground are the real main forces on the ground. Imperial Navy Land

The team is almost exclusively concentrated in the Pacific Ocean, as well as in the Caribbean, with the exception of Central America

There is simply no way to send marines to Europe and the Mediterranean. But to beat the British, most

The main thing is not to defeat Britain on the ground, but to beat Britain at sea . This is exactly what Tan Renhao is going to do

Tangier solves one of the main problems.

If we look at the land purely in terms of the size of the fleets of the two warring parties, there will be almost no battles that follow

Suspense. The Navy of the Don Empire concentrated two main fleets here. Persian Empire Mediterranean Fleet Geography

The model is larger than the 3rd Task Force. In addition, there is an aircraft carrier task force, the overall strength of which is close to

Second Fleet. In addition, there was the German "Far East Fleet", which at this time gathered Allied forces in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic

The fleet includes 11 fleet carriers, more than 80 cruisers, and more than 200 destroyers

Yes, the British Navy had a maximum of 4 fleet aircraft carriers.12 battleships, and more than 30 cruisers with less

100 destroyers of the ground fleet. The difference in strength between the two sides is quite obvious, but the scale is often not straight

Receiving represents actual combat effectiveness.

The biggest problem is collaboration. Not to mention the joint operation of the ground fleets of the three countries, even the First Fleet and The joint operations of the Second Fleet are all a problem, and now the four fleets of the three countries are fighting together, that's it

More than just a problem. It's a huge disaster.

Tan Renhao had long expected that the ground to be solved in Tangier would be the joint combat ground problem. But he also understood,

This problem is actually unsolvable. The ground fleet of the three countries represents the interests of the three countries, while

It is impossible for the interests of the three powers to coincide completely, so it is possible to work together. Maybe the Persian Emperor

The Mediterranean Fleet will not be looking for any trouble, after all, the Tang Empire and the Persian Empire have many interests

All have something in common, but there are few contradictions, and more importantly, many of the naval generals and officers of the Persian Empire

I worship the Imperial Navy very much, and I am deeply influenced by the Imperial Navy

Tactics. As well as the naval ideological aspect is relatively close. The biggest problem was the German Navy.

The "Far Eastern Fleet" had already caused trouble once, otherwise Jiang Zhongmin would not have been able to fight in Monrovia

So struggling. From beginning to end, the purpose of the "Far East Fleet" was not to assist the Tang Imperial Navy in the conquest of Daxi

Instead, it is necessary to return to the German mainland as soon as possible, seize the control of the North Sea and the English Channel, and assist the German land

The army crossed the Channel and attacked the British mainland, and even when Germany purchased these warships, it was for this

The goal, not to provide a coordinating force for the Tang Imperial Navy.

If we take into account the contradictions between the First Fleet and the Second Fleet, there are also Persia and Germany in the region

Taking into account the Haitian contradictions, it is impossible for the navies of the three countries to achieve any substantial ground in Tangier

Outcome of the negotiation. It is even more impossible to reach a coordinated operational intention.

"That's exactly what happened." The colonel who came to report the situation to Tan Renhao said several times

It's time.

"So, what does the naval command mean?" Tan Renhao poured him another cup of tea.

"The main thing is to solve the problem, but if we can't solve the problem, then we have to try to seize Germany

The countrymen beat the British in front." The colonel hesitated, "One of the documents I brought was specifically given

You land, talk about the general, you should talk about the earth, I have already said, I will try to assist you in the next few days, and I will be with the navy

Command Contact. Tomorrow, the governor of the Persian Empire will hold a banquet for us at the governor's palace

Let me introduce you to the Admirals of the Persian Empire, as well as the German generals who have come this time."

"Good land, thank you so much." Tan Renhao got up to see off the guests, "I'll hurry up and finish reading the documents, if there is."

If I don't understand something, I'll ask you for advice."

"It's too polite to talk about the general, I should cooperate with your work."

Tan Renhao politely sent the colonel officer away. He had not seen it before at the command of the Navy

This man, he later learned, was that the colonel officer was not actually a naval man, but a member of the imperial government

A local officer, a local officer in the uniform of a naval colonel.

"General, are you going to get ready to rest?" Duchenne rushed over at this time.

"Don't worry, you can make me a cup of coffee." Tan Renhao sat down, "There are still a lot of things to deal with,

If you're tired, go to sleep."

"It's okay, I'm not tired yet, if there's anything, I'm outside." Duchenne went to make coffee.

Tan Renhao nodded and let Duchen go out. He went first and fetched the colonel's share of the land

Top secret documents, and then looked at the watch, it was already half past ten at night. He closed his eyes and recuperated before he dismantled

Opened the file. I looked at it seriously.

The possibility of joint operations is quite slim, and it can even be said that there is no such possibility at all.

Even if the Germans and the Persians were willing to cooperate. Tan Renhao also did not want to conduct joint operations, let alone form a joint operation

Combined Fleet. He didn't want to be distracted by the conflict within the fleet when he was fighting, just like he was back then

In order to mediate the contradictions between the British and French fleets, Ning An spent a lot of energy internally, rather than going to the gate

Note the enemy's actions to defeat the enemy as well. If Tan Renhao had to take on this responsibility, he

Even if the German and Persian fleets are not used, even if it is a little tougher, it is much better than being "defeated" by the Allies.

After reading this document, Tan Renhao's mood was a lot heavier. He's not alone about this

There is no hope for cooperation in the second place, even Gan Yongxing and Nie Renfeng are the same. Maybe it's just a political need

bar. Anyway, Tan Renhao has to face difficulties, and Gan Yongxing should be able to help him think of a way

Not badly.
