"I'm coming!"

After Pia Gilardino shouted, he walked quickly to the three naval cadets and bowed: "Three, how do you see me working with you?" First of all, you forcibly seized and searched all passing Austro-Hungarian ships at sea, and blocked Tunisian resources in the harbor. Then let's have a strategic deception. The British created some border friction in western Tunisia and acted as if they were interested in it, forcing Austria-Hungary to move most of its army forces to the west for defense. At the same time, you also have to send your own fleet in the Gulf of Tunis to harass you, and I think it is more reasonable for the ship's hull to malfunction every day and a few mines fall into the sea. Thus, half a year later, we moved our land forces in the east and made it look like we were going to attack the Gellganai Islands, with the French fleet cooperating with our actions. And then we're going to raid the places you mentioned. You're in charge of fire support, I'm here to land! ”

No younger than Xu Zhonglin, Pia Gilardino is a veteran colonel in the end, and he can come up with a seemingly good plan in an instant.

Xu Zhonglin was still a little worried: "If we attack these places at the same time as Miss Carla said, is it too scattered in force, and the three of us can block sea communications, I am afraid that the losses will be very large, so it is difficult to explain to the country." ”

When it came to the planning stage, Pia Gilardino also began to seriously ponder: "Look, how about inviting the Italian navy of the Pelage Islands and Pantelleria to act together?" ”

Both the pelaget archipelago and Pantelleria are located north of Howmetsuk and west of Malta, and Pantelleria, in particular, is located between Tunisia and the Italian island of Sicily, and is a choke point for the entire Mediterranean. These two places have always been the strategic points of Italy to control the Mediterranean route, and there have always been heavy troops here, and in order to give full play to the advantages of linkage and cooperation, the top governor of the two places is a person.

Carla Yakotai also nodded: "There are heavy guards here, and their participation can better carry out the blockade and strategic feint tasks, but what about the distribution of benefits?" We don't know the commander there, and the mutual trust between the two sides is almost zero, and I can't make a written pact with you for this kind of private action, and I'm sure the same is true for the emir. What if the other lion opens his mouth? ”

Xu Zhonglin understands what Miss Jakotai means, everyone tacitly makes a fortune together, but if they sign a paper alliance, once it leaks out, it will be regarded as a symbol of the alliance between Britain, France and Italy, which will cause many strategic miscalculations from the outside world...... World War I and World War II in another world are a lesson from the past, Germany will definitely pull the back of the three countries before it dies, and there will be no victor in the whole of Europe. Thinking about it this way, if it really happens, maybe Xu Zhonglin can still become a national hero! A weakened Europe that was divided and hated each other was very much in the national interests of the Eastern Empires.

Of course, if someone really makes a paper pact and leaks it to Germany, he will certainly not see the day when Europe will weaken. Britain, France and Italy would definitely bury him before that, and he could only lie down at the root of a certain flower tree and sing: Once upon a time it was cold in winter, and it rained and snowed in summer......

Since the consciousness is not so high, it can only be honestly thought of, and the town guards and admirals of the Pelager Islands and Pantelleria cannot be trusted. So is it okay to replace it with someone you trust?

"I have an idea, what do you think of Cato Miroda? Miss Cara should have seen him, he was the heir to the House of Miroloda and the Medici. What do you think if he could accompany us in the Pelage Islands and Pantelleria? ”

"Of course that's great!" Abel Atwood couldn't be more in favor.

Although Carla Jakotai had a bit of a holiday with Cato, she also nodded: "The Medici family is trustworthy. ”

This is the benefit of the great aristocracy, people have archways, which is why sometimes reputation is more important than life.

Xu Zhonglin snapped his fingers, and Rena walked over and bent down to wait for his instructions: "Ask Cato, if you are healed from your injury, can you come to Tunisia to make a small fortune." ”

After a while, Rena said happily, "Cato agreed, and Madame Catherine de' Medici knew about it, and she was willing to stand up for us." ”

Now that Cato has done it, all that remains is the landing battle, and unfortunately, the three admirals are not good at this, and Abel Atwood asks directly at Pia Gilardino, "How many men can you come up with to land?" ”

The colonel was confident: "Eight thousand! ”

Carla Yakotai was a little worried: "According to the current plan, we are going to attack four places, is the number too small?" ”

"Quite a few, all in the port area, as long as you can make a precedent to Gabes and Sfax in advance, transfer their forces away, and then provide us with artillery fire and air support when we land, it's enough! In fact, it is not difficult to attack, the main thing is how to defend. "Pia Gilardino is confident.

"Okay, anyway, there's still half a year to go, and we plan to improve it slowly." Xu Zhonglin was about to get up and leave after speaking.

But Pia Gilardino stopped him: "Wait, how will the benefits be distributed?!" ”

Depend on! Just thinking about doing things, forgetting to share the spoils.

Xu Zhonglin thought about it seriously: "Britain needs to create friction on the western front of Tunisia, and Abel has more connections to transfer, so what Sousse grabbed belongs to you." France helped to blockade the shipping lanes, strategic coercion, and Amra's resources went to Kara. Cato and I need a decisive battle with the Austro-Hungarian navy in the Gellganai Islands, Nasuhela. Army Najergis. ”

Of the four places, Suhaila had the most resources, and Xu Zhonglin estimated that he would also give more than half to Madame Catherine de' Medici. This is something that can't be helped, the big guy says a word that is much more effective than the little brother below running and breaking his leg. Sousse was second in terms of resources, and Abel also had to settle domestic relations. Amra is third and Gergis fourth.

"No way!"

Pia Gilardino jumped up directly and roared, erupt, my little universe: "Our army paid 8,000 people, and the casualties must be very large, how can we only take Jergis?!" I want Suhaila! ”

Damn, you're telling a thousand and one nights ghost story, aren't you? Xu Zhonglin couldn't bear it anymore: "Hehe, okay, it is estimated that there are a total of ten Austro-Hungarian capital ships in Gabes Bay, and you use a sapper shovel to scuttle them all, then Suhaila belongs to you." ”

The colonel's face turned red, and he probably knew that his request was a bit excessive: "Then at least you should give me Susé!" ”

In his opinion, there is no cost for the British to create border friction, but the scale of mobilization is relatively large. The French simply mobilized the Maltese Navy. Neither of these two countries is directly involved in the fighting, and it is basically a business without capital, and they and the Italian navy contribute the most, of course, the most.

Kara Jakotai didn't speak, and Abel blew up: "Army turtle, do you know how much it will cost us to block the coast of Tunisia for half a year and mobilize the fleet?" Seven hundred ships and hundreds of planes for fuel and mines, don't you need money? ”

In Abel's opinion, the stunned army is too greedy to be self-aware, or our British lobster soldiers, who can feed with just a mouthful of soup, and their survivability is comparable to that of crayfish.

Colonel Pia Gilardino argued: "But you don't have to send so many ships every day, and so do planes!" How much are mines worth? ”

Xu Zhonglin didn't have a half-dime friendship with Colonel Pia, and he didn't care about the interests of the army, so he waved his hand a little impatiently: "If you like to do it, if you don't like to do it, then I'll ask Cato to find someone else, presumably there are many people in the army rushing to do it." ”
