The first to take off were the Swordfish bombers, at this time, they were not carrying torpedoes, but mines, and their mission was to lay mines in the harbor to prevent French warships from rushing out of the harbor.

It's very simple, close the door, it's good to fight, as long as the French warships can't get out of the port, it will be a matter of minutes to destroy them.

At the same time that the Swordfish bombers were taking off from the deck of the aircraft carrier, the school shooting planes on the various battleships were also rapidly catapulting and taking off.

In later generations, the general warships were loaded with helicopters, but now, large warships, loaded with seaplanes, they use catapults to take off on the warship, and when they land, they land directly on the sea, and then wait for their own warships to be recovered with cranes.

In the middle of the Warrior's ship, a Super Marlin Walrus water reconnaissance aircraft was hastily ejected into the air, which was a two-winged reconnaissance aircraft that could also carry out artillery fire at the same time.

The open cockpit canopy, the usual British character, at this time, at the back of the cabin, observer George, who was responsible for the artillery calibration mission, felt the huge impact and rose up with the carrier-based aircraft.

Every time I take off, it's like being kicked smooth ground, which is really unpleasant!

After a few seconds of dizziness, George got used to flying, the pilot in the front cabin had already piloted the plane, raising the height of his side, the side of the anti-Poti, the French battleships, neatly arranged, and had not yet begun to move their positions, it was simply the best opportunity!

Holding the optical instrument, George was taking quick measurements, and at the same time, constantly reporting: "Distance, 15,340 meters, bearing, 60 degrees, 30 minutes, 2 seconds, first test launch, start!" ”

"Boom!" On the Warrior here, one of the main guns quickly opened fire, and according to the data provided by the school firing aircraft, the test firing began.

With a beautiful trajectory, the shell flew over and hit the breakwater as well!

If it was on a warship, then I don't know how far away from the target this shot was, and it was blocked by the anti-wave, but on the high school firing plane, everything was clearly visible!

"Close shots, raise one point upwards, all artillery, shoot together!" George shouted excitedly, his own shells were only a few tens of meters away from the flagship of the French, the Dunkirk, and as long as the elevation angle was raised a little, it could hit! At the same time, all of your own shells will be smashed on the opposing warship, and you can kill the French flagship with one shot!

It's exciting enough to think about.

"Raise the anchor," General Suer was also giving orders.

Staying here, they have to move, even if the steam pressure is temporarily insufficient, they have to move!

By what? Tugboats, of course!

Compared with the steam engine of the battleship, the tugboat almost always uses a diesel engine, almost as long as it starts, it can move, at this time, you can only rely on the tug to let them maneuver first, even if it is to turn around first, so that they can enter the combat state!

"Boom, boom!" 381 mm shells, flying again!

This time, the quasi-head of the British warship was really high enough!

They almost grazed the heads of the French warships, splashed into the sea next to them, and one tugboat was almost overturned by the splash!

"Far Bullet!" In the sky, George looked at everything on the sea with great depression, and this time, he actually shot away! When he was just shooting at school, he actually forgot to consider the speed of his own warship!

What a damn one!

But this time, you can't go wrong again!

Just as he was about to continue shooting, he only felt his plane turning rapidly, and in an instant, he couldn't see the sea.

At the same time, one after another shells flew past his fighter plane, and in the sky not far away, black smoke exploded.

Antiaircraft gun!

The French Navy, of course, noticed this school launch aircraft, which was the first target they had to deal with, albeit at a distance!

On the French battleships here, all types of anti-aircraft guns, whether they are out of reach or not, are shooting into the sky, even if they can't shoot down the opponent, but only damage it, or even interfere with its flight, it is also useful!

At the same time, the school-shooting planes on the French warships also took off, and they wanted to give command to their own warships to strike at the British Navy on this side!

Fighting, as long as it begins, is never to the death!

At the same time, the news of the exchange of fire quickly spread back to France.

The space in the conference room was not large, and there was a smell of smoke everywhere, Darlan closed his eyes and did not want to speak, while the words of Pierre next to him were constantly coming into his head.

"Now, our warships are in a hurry to respond to the battle, they may suffer big losses, and only by turning to Germany can we help our navy." Pierre said.

Recourse to Germany? So where is the pride of the French Navy? Darlan is very contradictory.

The Navy, unlike the Army.

Germany could have demanded that France have no army, but it did not wipe out the French navy, because the French navy was not under the control of Germany.

Moreover, the Navy is proud.

At the end of World War I, Britain and France drove all German warships to Scapa Bay, wanting to take them for themselves.

The result? The Germans pitted them, and at the last moment, sank all these warships, and the British got nothing, and rejoiced in nothing.

Therefore, Germany did not ask the French Navy what to do, after all, it could not be controlled, and in case of urgency, the French sank all their warships, which would not do Germany any good.

In history, it really happened that the warships of the French fleet sank to the port of Toulon, leaving Hitler in the air.

And now, the British, first of all, could not hold their breath and opened fire on the French fleet, in this way, it was tantamount to giving Germany a chance!

Darlan didn't want to have anything to do with Germany, but now that he had to bear the consequences of the possible destruction of the French fleet, his brain was a little messy, and he didn't know what to do.

"Report, Governor Falkenhausen has arrived." Just then, an adjutant came in and reported.

By this time, France had completed the surrender ceremony and was divided into two parts, and in the northern part of France, the German Falkenhausen was exercising the duties of military and political governor.

Now, the Governor of Falkenhausen has actually come here, which makes everyone stunned.

"Ask him to come in." Petain said quickly.

Although Petain was also the ruler of France, but now that France has become two halves, many times, he needs Falkenhausen's support, and now, when the other party takes the initiative to visit, he must definitely greet him with a smile.
