Bastian and Gary Buel are also old acquaintances, and they met Gary Buel smoothly, and as soon as they finished speaking, Gary Buel looked surprised: "Want a commando?" What do you want to do? ”

At this critical juncture, Bastian, as the commander-in-chief of the Foreign Legion, could mobilize the Foreign Legion to serve Bastian if he needed people, but now Bastian went to Corsica to find a "protective umbrella", which made Garibuel have to wonder. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Leave it alone? You just say how much it costs - " Bastian was not polite to Gary Buel, and was not in the mood to go around in circles with Gary Buel.

"I thought we didn't need to mention money anymore—" Gary Buel looked resentful, looking at Bastien with a sneering look.

"Look at what you've done in Corsica? Our relationship really doesn't need to mention money, and I should whip you. Bastian didn't save face for Garibuel, and he didn't mean to explain in detail.

"Aha-that's just an accident, old friend, what kind of commando do you need, how many people? When—" Gary Bouel snorted and immediately digressed the subject.

After the outbreak of the Great War, the actions of the Corsican government were actually no different from rebellion, but in this eventful season, Bastian had no intention of pursuing it, and there were more important things waiting for Bastian to do.

"About fifty people, as far as they can be, immediately, I have only one request, no matter what happens, they must keep their mouths shut, or I promise you, whoever covers Corsica, I will wash this place in blood." Bastian was very gloomy in both his expression and voice, and he touched the holster around his waist intentionally or unintentionally as he spoke.

It was clear that something big was about to happen, and Gary Buel immediately shut his mouth obediently, and then personally selected a group of German warriors for Bastien.

Seeing Bastian's special plane take off again, Gary Buel's expression was also cautious: "Send a telegram to Chen Ye and tell Chen Ye that Uncle Guo is in trouble-"

Chen Ye is Chen Kangjian, and all matters in the Western Province are now handled by Chen Kangjian, as for the "Uncle Guo", it is obviously Pierre.

Early in the morning of July 20, Portsmouth Military Port, England.

As usual, at six o'clock in the morning, the military port has begun to be busy, the materials piled up on the dock a few days ago have all been loaded onto the battleships, the staff and sailors on the dock are all hurrying back and forth, those warships docked in the harbor have begun to make fires, thick black smoke is spewing out from the thick chimney, and the whole dock is a little smoky.

A little farther away, there are many men, women and children on the pier who are seeing off the sailors, many of them have tears of reluctance on their faces, although their expressions are ugly, but they still try to maintain their smiles, and strive to use their best side to send blessings to their relatives who are about to travel away.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the battleship "George V", which was supposed to be dismantled after the "Hood" was put into service, was the first to leave the docks, but the British delayed the process, and now it finally came in handy again; Following the "George V" out of port was the battleship "Hood", which is the largest battleship in Britain at present, with a standard displacement of 42,000 tons, and is also the largest warship in the world, and then the battleship "Queen Elizabeth" -

"-Prestige--Counterattack-Captain Hundred--God, there are six of them, and the British really look up to us-" On an inconspicuous beach outside the military port, two anglers couldn't stop sighing while using binoculars to observe.

"Call it a day—damn it, I didn't catch one—" A middle-aged Humpty Dumpty man with a red-nosed nose put away his fishing rod and grumbled as he looked at the empty bucket.

"I'll give you two—" The younger one was generous, and he had a small half bucket in his bucket.

Both of them were desperately trying to divert their attention with trifles, but each other's expressions were a little heavy, and the British dispatched not only six battleships, but also three aircraft carriers, including the earliest "Hundred-Eyed Giant" and two new "Brave" and "Glory" newly built after the Coconut City Naval Conference, which were almost half of the capital ships of the British Imperial Navy.

Soon, the news of the British fleet dispatch reached Sardinia, and Qin Haoge immediately mobilized to prepare for a big battle with the British.

To tell the truth, Qin Haoge did not have the capital to carry the capital of the British main fleet, the Mediterranean Fleet did not have battleships and aircraft carriers, and now there are only seven destroyers to be mobilized, and at the same time there are fifteen submarines that can be used to cause some trouble for the British.

This is just "a little trouble", the threat of destroyers to battleships is negligible, the threat of submarines is also limited, battleships and aircraft carriers will definitely be protected by the destroyer fleet in the future, and submarines will be looking for death if they attack in front of the destroyer.

Qin Haoge can rely on the aviation led by Dou Yongyi, the aviation on Sardinia is already strong, and now it has added a wing of torpedo planes, Qin Haoge believes that even if he can't kill the British, he can make the British break half of their teeth.

Although there were three aircraft carriers in the British fleet, there were not many aircraft in reality, at most about a hundred.

Unlike the "thin skin and big stuffing" that the Lanfang aircraft carrier strives for, Britain has always had problems with the positioning of aircraft carriers.

None of the three British aircraft carriers were aircraft carriers in the true sense of the word, the USS Cyclops was remodeled from merchant ships, and the USS Brave and USS Glory were remodeled from cruisers, which made these three aircraft carriers congenitally deficient.

In terms of the number of aircraft carried, the "Hundred-Eyed Giant" can only carry 24 planes after a major overhaul, and the "Brave" and "Glory" are both about 30 planes, and the three aircraft carriers together are not as many as Lanfang's "Surabaya-class" aircraft carrier.

Considering the gap in the performance of the British aircraft and the Lanfang aircraft, the advantage that Lanfang has is even greater, if you add the gap between the pilots, Qin Haoge is confident enough to let the British fleet sink in Sardinia.

It's a pity that it backfired, and before Qin Haoge's armaments meeting was over, he received a telegram from the Surabaya Military Department.

The Lanfang military department demanded that Qin Haoge evacuate all personnel and materials from Sardinia, abandon Sardinia, and retreat to Baling, that is, Beirut, Lebanon.

After receiving the order from the Lanfang Military Department, although he was unwilling, Qin Haoge still resolutely carried out the order of the Lanfang Military Department.

In fact, the abandonment of Sardinia is a strategy that has been set at the beginning of the war, Sardinia is isolated in the middle of the Mediterranean, the east side is the Italians, the south and north sides are French, the west side is the Spaniards who have bad intentions towards Lanfang, if you add the British from afar, Sardinia can be said to be surrounded by many people, neither the strength to take the initiative to attack, nor is it conducive to defense, so Sardinia is destined to be abandoned.

After Italy declared war on Lan Fang, Lan Fang began to gradually evacuate the personnel and materials on Sardinia, so far, most of the workers and materials have been evacuated to Baling, and now those who remain on Sardinia, in addition to those special forces that want to stay to fight guerrillas, only the air force and submarine forces led by Dou Yongyi remain, and these troops can be evacuated at any time.

Sardinia is a large island with an area of 24,000 square kilometers, the island has mountains, the terrain is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack, although Lan Fang wants to temporarily abandon Sardinia, but will not give Sardinia to the British or Italians completely, Lan Fang reserved a force of 1,000 people on the island, used to harass the British and Italians, waiting for Lan Fang's army to fight back.

For the order of the Lanfang Military Department, Qin Haoge must carry it out, but the degree of implementation is discussed.

Qin Haoge didn't want to escape from Sardinia without firing a shot, the British wanted to take the initiative to attack, Qin Haoge definitely wanted to let the British taste the power of the Lanfang people, so that even if they were evacuated, they would be evacuated with more face.

The distance from Portsmouth to Sardinia was about 3,500 kilometers through the Strait of Gibraltar, and the British fleet sailed towards Sardinia at an average speed of 20 knots, and it took about three days to reach Sardinia.

This time is Qin Haoge's preparation time, in these three days, the submarine force will also be withdrawn, and at the same time, most of the ground crews will be withdrawn, and only the necessary ground crews will be left on the island, and when the air force units are withdrawn, these ground crews will be withdrawn to the nearest Corsica.

Three days later, the British fleet arrived as scheduled.

From the moment it entered the Strait of Gibraltar, the Lanfang Air Force began to monitor the British fleet, and sporadic air battles broke out.

The British did keep a hand when they traded with the Italians, and the "Hurricane" sold to the Italians were all castrated versions, and the "Hurricane" used by the British themselves was obviously much more powerful, and at the most it still couldn't catch up with the "Eagle Falcon", but the gap was not big.

Air Force operations, the use of fighters even a little slight performance gap may determine the final result, life and death is really a moment, so after the British troops entered the Mediterranean, within a whole day, the Lanfang Air Force and the British Naval Aviation fought fiercely for a day, with a record of 22 to 1, the only "Eagle Falcon" shot down by the Lanfang Air Force was still hit by the anti-aircraft fire of the warship, and it had nothing to do with the "Hurricane" of the British troops.

On the first day of the air battle, Dou Yongyi deliberately hid the torpedo machine unit and bomber unit, and sent all the fighters to fight for the airspace with the British.

The British were not intimidated by the strength of the Lanfang Air Force and continued to advance towards Sardinia.

The British know very well that no matter how powerful Lan Fang's air force is, it needs a ground airport to take off, if Lan Fang's plane is in the sky, the British really have nothing to do, but as long as the British warship arrives close to Sardinia, it will be a great threat to Lan Fang Airport, without the support of the ground airport, Lan Fang's air force will not be able to use it even if it has great ability.

Dou Yongyi also knew the plans of the British, and the British were upright and upright in their scheme, that is, to advance step by step with their strength, without giving Lan Fang any chance to make a strategic detour, and forcing Lan Fang's navy to fight a decisive battle with them.

In the early morning of 23 July, a group of fighters took off from the Oristano airport and flew toward the waters west of Sardinia.
