It's not that they didn't react, but Qin Yingxue and Hai Ni, the two princesses, were busy taking care of their babies and had no time to pay attention to His Majesty!

After living in Weiyang Palace for many years, some thoughts are gradually changing, "How can there be a cat that doesn't steal fishy?" A cat that doesn't steal is not a good cat! ”

"Your Majesty is tired, let him relax. However, that drama must not let her enter the palace! And that Director Mu, who has been a little uneasy lately......"

Director Qin made a final summary. It's just that Director Mu, who was caught as a scapegoat, doesn't know it.

"No matter how useful the Valletta base is, it's also after the war, ...... C Fleet"

"Hehe, I didn't say I would let go of Fleet C!" Your Majesty is in a pretty good mood today, and even interrupting the whole loudspeaker is smiling.

"Oh? Don't...... Your Majesty, do you have any other arrangements? ”

"Hehe, the heavens can't be leaked!"

……

It is impossible for His Majesty, who is far away in Chang'an, to control the battle situation, and the other arrangement is of course the commander of Guancang Customs.

When fighting against the US Atlantic Fleet task force, the Northern Fleet had only four aircraft carrier battle groups in ambush at Cape Spanda, and after two Marshal II-class aircraft carriers joined the Northern Fleet, it should be known that the Northern Fleet had the formidable strength of six two-carrier battle groups.

The Battle of Malta and Operation "Beauty", two aircraft carrier battle groups such as the Gongjin have not appeared. Undoubtedly, they are Commander Guan's "other arrangements".

If you don't look closely on the map, many people will think that there is only one shipping route across the Mediterranean Sea from east to west, and it must pass through the Tunis Strait.

But in fact, in the northern part of the Mediterranean, there is another shipping lane. That is the Strait of Messina between Sicily and the Peninsula of Yapingan, although it is narrow. There are only 3 outlets from the strait to the north. It is 2 kilometers wide, and there is the Hira Reef and the Kalibdis Whirlpool, and the turbulent currents make it difficult to navigate.

But this difficulty refers to ordinary civilian passenger and cargo ships. For the well-equipped naval warships, the reefs and whirlpools in the strait, known as the embodiment of the witch in Greek mythology, only made the sailors more cautious, and the mirage that made the legend even more terrifying was an eye-opener for the sailors, and it was rare to see such a beautiful scenery on the South China continent.

Passing through the Strait of Messina, with its many myths and legends, and entering the Tleanni Sea in the eastern part of the Apennine Peninsula, Rear Admiral Zeng Baojian, deputy commander of the Northern Fleet and captain of the Jin, led four aircraft carriers and more than 40 escort and supply ships from the aircraft carrier battle group, and rested briefly in the port of Naples.

During this period, the two Aquila-class aircraft carriers that began to be built at the outbreak of the Italian naval war were quickly completed and launched after Mussolini reached a series of construction agreements with the Han Emperor, after the Han naval engineers joined the modification design, and after the introduction of the special aircraft carrier flight deck steel plates for the Dahan Bay Shipyard, the Aquila and Harrier Eagle aircraft carriers that were quickly completed and launched into the ranks also joined Zeng Baojian's detachment.

Because there were not enough escort ships, the Italian Navy actually fell into the embarrassment of having aircraft carriers, but not daring to sail after the sea trials of the Aquila and Harrier. After several naval battles, especially after the Taran Bay was attacked by British carrier-based aircraft, most of the capital ships in the Italian Sea were sunk.

With a displacement of only 30,000 tons and a double-deck layout, the Aquila and the Harrier Eagle are outdated in the eyes of the Han Royal Navy. After Zeng Baojian joined the formation, he even said, "Why do you come to help so many engineers?" That's not much better than the Wyvern! ”

If Mussolini knew that the Aquila, which had made him happy all night and had not slept well, in the eyes of the naval officers of the Han Kingdom, was actually just about the same as the Japanese Wyvern, which was sunk two years ago, I don't know how he would feel.

In fact, the Italian-designed warships have always been famous for their beautiful shapes, and the Aquila class was unable to achieve the most advanced beveled deck layout due to the laying of the early keel and the initial design, and the displacement constraints also made the Aquila class unable to carry heavy carrier-based fighters such as the "Eagle".

In terms of overall performance, the Skyhawk class is of course not comparable to the Marshal-class aircraft carriers produced by the base. Aside from the two base shipyards in Perth and Kangaroo Island, several "Soyuz" class aircraft carriers built at the same time at the Dahan Bay Shipyard and Yanhuangdao Shipyard in the southern part of the empire are not much stronger than the Skyhawk class in many processes, at most they are on a par with the Essec-class of the United States.

The purchaser of the "Alliance" class aircraft carrier is the Kingdom of Judah, and His Majesty's father-in-law, the handsome Jewish man who is not short of money, and the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces of the Kingdom of Judah, Haman, ordered four Union-class aircraft carriers in one go.

After a long conversation with Zhong Yi in the middle of the night, after His Majesty had described a bright prospect for him to develop Africa and the Americas, the handsome old Jewish man was determined to build a powerful ocean-going navy and go with his son-in-law to conquer the ...... Well, it is to develop economically backward areas and contribute to the common progress of mankind.

Italy's two Skyhawk-class aircraft carriers were able to be completed quickly during the war, which was stained with the light of the Kingdom of Judah's order for Union-class aircraft carriers, and many parts that Italy urgently needed could be imported directly from the Dahan Bay shipyard.

However, just when the two sides were working closely together, what made both Han Huang and Mussolini a little unhappy was the mustache, which suddenly inserted a leg.

Originally, the carrier-based aircraft of the Skyhawk-class aircraft carrier had already selected the G-4 attack aircraft of the Royal Road Company and the Agni fighter of the South Pacific Aircraft Company, which were the two carrier-based aircraft selected by His Royal Highness Prince Haman for the aircraft carrier of the Kingdom of Judah.

However, the German Führer saw that Italy and Han were getting closer and closer, and his former good friend was about to become someone else's little friend, and it was inevitable that he would be a little surprised. Through political and military pressure, Mussolini was forced to buy German carrier-based aircraft.

"Isn't that a fuss? Your own aircraft carrier has not yet been completed, what are you going to sell me? The Italian Prime Minister was quite unhappy with this.

Unexpectedly, the German company Heinkel soon launched a prototype of a carrier-based aircraft - the He-181 Viking carrier-based fighter.

This is a single-seat, single-engine light fighter, which is very suitable for a light aircraft carrier like the Skyhawk class. It is equipped with the M3A long-handled axe interception radar, and can launch V-7 semi-active radar-guided air-to-air missiles with a maximum range of 25 kilometers, and its comprehensive performance is quite good.

Mussolini understood that this was to pay for the tests of German carrier-based aircraft.

After the British sank the battleship Bismarck, the symbol of the German Navy, in the Danish Strait, most of the surface ships of the German Navy were blocked in the Baltic Sea, and the aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin, which had been completed 85 percent before the war, was rebuilt and rebuilt not long ago, and the Viking carrier-based aircraft was developed for the Zepberlin, but this early investment had to be paid by the Italians.

Zhong Yi did not interfere too much in this matter. The contract for a hundred and ten aircraft, the empire does not care too much. In particular, the production contracts of large aircraft companies such as Huangdao and Nantai have been lined up very tightly - there are many countries that want to buy Han aircraft.

It's just that there is something wrong with the mustache's mentality in this matter. The war is still going on, and it is nothing to expect him to continue to fight with the bearded man, let him be arrogant, and satisfy the vanity of the Führer.

However, the excellent comprehensive performance of the German fighters aroused the great interest of His Majesty. As in the previous life, Germany's military scientific research is still full of potential, without the hidden worry of being attacked by the Allies on both sides, and the Eastern Mediterranean, the Middle East and the South Asian subcontinent are all controlled by the Allies, and Germany is not short of resources and minerals. This has given German scientists a leg up and yielded a lot of results in silence.

To be sure, if Dahan does not have a base, it will lag far behind Germany and the United States in terms of scientific research.

His Majesty really hasn't come up with any good way to deal with this. Restricting Germany in terms of energy and resources? Isn't that equivalent to helping Lao Maozi in disguise? Besides, there is no reason for the same country to be a steel alliance!

In order to take care of the mustache's emotions, the African colonies that Germany lost during World War I, such as Mozambique, were returned to Germany by His Majesty at the strong request of the mustache.

And now another sanction?

"No! Absolutely not, at least not before defeating Britain, the United States, and Russia! ”

Therefore, in the matter of Italy's procurement of carrier-based aircraft, the Han Empire tolerated it; His Majesty also compromised on the return of the former German colonies.

"Unite and defeat the Entente!" This is His Majesty's statement to the outside world, but in his heart, this kind of forbearance and compromise has reached the limit.

The Italian prime minister and dictator was still relatively smart, Mussolini, who once fantasized about reproducing the glory of the Roman Empire and vowed to be Octavian's second, recognized the situation after the surrender of more than 200,000 Italian troops in East Africa and after the Royal Italian Navy was sent out by the British Fleet C.

"If you don't think about it, you can do it!"

The U.S. Navy was beaten out of the Mediterranean, which deepened his idea of hugging the thigh of the Han Emperor.

The Aquila and the Harrier Eagle hurriedly joined the Allied fleet before they had completed the aircraft carrier battle group, which fully demonstrated the attitude of the Italian dictator - hugging the thick thighs of the godson and insisting that the big man would not relax.

Zhong Yi's attitude towards the Italians was of course happy to accept, and he also called Zhang Hanqing out of the star ball and appointed him as the ambassador to Italy.

This can be regarded as people doing their duty and making the best use of things.

Mussolini's daughter met Zhang Hanqing when he was recovering from drug addiction, and this time he was asked to go to Rome as an ambassador, which also gave him a chance to renew his relationship.

In addition, Director Mu has been looking at him unpleasantly recently, and with the means of the Military Intelligence Bureau, if something happens one day, it will not be easy to clean it up......

The aircraft carrier squadron of the Northern Fleet Gongjin stayed in Nablus for only two days, and the few remaining destroyers of the Italian Navy also joined the formation and set sail again.

This time, they targeted Corsica, another legendary place in the Mediterranean and home of the great European man Napoleon. The Strait of Bonifacio between Corsica and Sardinia, to be exact.

The Strait of Bonifacio is not only the border between France and Italy, but also the boundary between the eastern and western Mediterranean. As long as it passes through the Bonifacio Strait, the Allied aircraft carrier formation led by Zeng Baojian can be regarded as entering the western Mediterranean.

The commander of the formation, Rear Admiral Zeng Baojian, firmly believed that this was the first time that the Royal Navy of Dahan entered the western Mediterranean Sea in addition to the submarine force, and it would also be a decisive one.

From now on, the Western Mediterranean will no longer be the sphere of influence of the British Navy, bury the C fleet, bury the British Royal Navy, just as Vice Admiral Guan Canghai, commander of the Northern Fleet, said: The Royal Navy, only I am a big man!
