October 30th. ※※※※※ I ※ I ※ ※

In the cockpit, Fan Wu sighed, and the propeller in front of him turned into a phantom, like a psychic drug, which made people sleepy.

There was no way, after flying around Istanbul to reconnoitre, I followed the Nu River to the sea off Tripoli at a speed of 30 knots, and I flew continuously with my partners for two days, and I was really tired.

Tired can still stay up, used to receive field survival training when a few days and nights did not fit the eyes and survived, the big problem is that he does not know how long his beloved baby can last, from yesterday early morning to evening, the two ospreys are almost uninterrupted in turn to fly, although the osprey changed the engine, the range reached 400 kilometers, can fly for more than three hours in a row, but now it is more than too much, even the trust of him does not know, usually always love to have a problem with the engine will not be a problem.

If you get into trouble and make a forced landing, you'll be miserable.

After slapping twice to make himself sober, Fan Wu glanced at the oil gauge and could still fly for an hour.

As long as the oil is enough, at least he is not afraid of falling like an iron lump, which makes him feel a little relieved, takes out a toffee from his pocket, tears open the candy paper with his teeth and throws it into his mouth.

The fragrant toffee lifted his spirits, but unfortunately he couldn't smoke in the sky, otherwise he could take two sips. He thought as he turned the candy wrapper into a small ball, but just as he was about to throw it out of the cabin, the black smoke from the distance made his eyes suddenly flutter.

As a veteran naval aviation pilot, he can naturally distinguish between the smoke of warships and civilian ships, because of the low speed of civilian ships, the smoke is lighter, and this is not an area infested by pirates, few ships will be in groups, and what do you see now?

A cloud of black smoke!

Almost without thinking about it, he slammed the fighter, and when the osprey quickly rose to a thousand meters, the spectacular scene in the distance almost made him excited to death!

One, two, three!

You don't need to look closely, there are more than a dozen!

"Report, a fleet has been spotted, thirty nautical miles to the northwest, on its way to reconnoitre!" Fan Wu grabbed the microphone and shouted a reply, then immediately pressed the nose of the plane and rushed towards the Italian fleet at high speed.

Thirty nautical miles, it would take an hour for the Nujiang, but for the osprey, it would arrive at the best observation position of about 10,000 meters after ten minutes.

As a naval pilot, in addition to practicing his flying skills, his big job is to memorize the appearance of the main warships of various countries, so when the fleet in the telescope gets closer and closer, he immediately recognizes the other party.

"Confirm, confirm! The Italian fleet, a total of fourteen warships! ”

"Two capital ships, two San Giorgio-class battleships, two Queen Elena battleships, and one Queen Margaret! No trace of Dante was found! Van Vou kept circling over the fleet, a move that caught the attention of the Italian fleet, and a moment later a biplane was released in the fleet. 【 I want: super fast update 】

"I found a seaplane, and it was coming at me at a fast pace, asking if I wanted to shoot!"

In the Nujiang Commander Tower, when he heard the excited voice from the loudspeaker, the captain couldn't cry or laugh, so these pilots were even more excited than himself! Hurriedly picked up the microphone and said, "Not allowed!" ”

After a feeble response sounded again from the loudspeaker, all the officers in the bridge flattened their mouths, and the captain gave the microphone to the communications officer who had set it up and immediately ordered: "Second level combat alert!" ”

"Send the message back immediately, and the detector will be activated for testing!"

"Plane No. 2 is ready to pick up."

When the Nujiang raised its barrel like a cheetah, Fan Wu had already put the radio microphone, looked at the Italian biplane that was slowly climbing in the distance, looked at the fuel gauge, and after thinking about it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his right hand suddenly pushed the longitudinal rod, and his left hand pushed the throttle lever on the side to the bottom at the same speed.

The sudden increase in aviation gasoline rushed into the engine through the oil pipe, and the black smoke under the nose suddenly became thicker, and after only a whistling sound of propellers was heard, the osprey rushed towards the Italian plane like a shuttle.

Major Alfonso, a pilot in the Italian Army, sat on a pigeon plane that had just been rotated into pontoons, and he had come to the navy to help guide the bombardment that was about to begin.

Unexpectedly, not long after coming out of Sicily, he encountered a plane with strange claws that suddenly appeared in the sky, constantly circling to reconnoiter the fleet, so the fleet commander immediately asked him to take off to see who it was.

But he was still a little confused when he had just taken off, and he found that the plane seemed to be pumping the wind, and it suddenly deflected and rushed towards itself from above.

At 80 kilometers per hour, the engine let out a series of hissing sounds, and thick black smoke continued to pour out of the exhaust duct under the nose, and after just one glance, Alfonso knew that the plane was going more than his own, and immediately turned left in the hope of avoiding it.

Seeing that the Italian plane wanted to dodge, Fan Wu's mouth widened, because this was the opportunity he wanted to create.

It's a technical job!

Fan Wu smiled slightly in his heart, although the two were about the same size, but whether it was speed and maneuverability, the Italian plane in front of him was definitely not an opponent, so what he had to do was to use the altitude to keep the opponent, and use the speed advantage to repeatedly sweep the opponent very close, creating a sense of oppression, while using the strong wind brought by the wings and propellers, forcing the opponent to keep descending.

This is the same skill that the instructor played when he was trained, and if the instructor hadn't let him go, he would have almost hit the ground.

"Whew."

A screech brought by a gust of wind accompanied by the sudden sound of a motor sounded in Alfonso's ears, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw a black shadow suddenly passing by, and before he could curse, the violent crosswind suddenly made the fuselage deflect sharply, like a swift in a storm, losing its balance.

This accident frightened him, and he didn't care about looking at his opponent anymore, and he grabbed the longitudinal rod with both hands and tried to maintain his balance, but when he finally leveled it, the plane in the distance actually went around in a circle, and the guy sitting in it still raised a middle finger at himself! Then, as if he had seen a brute bull with red cloth, he rushed up fiercely.

"God!" Before he could figure out what that arrogant middle finger meant, the guy who didn't even know his identity was whistling by, chose the right side this time, and the same crosswind once again made him scramble, not paying the slightest attention to his rapid loss of height.

On the Italian fleet, all the soldiers widened their eyes and watched in amazement as the two planes entangled there, and then their own one deviated to the left and right, and kept descending.

And the plane, which had already figured out that it was the Hua Empire, was like a pesky fly, constantly surrounding Major Alfonso and his plane, and repeatedly scurrying around in circles.

It's infuriating that this guy even flew to Colonel Alfonso's head, and then the fuselage sank down, and the huge weight directly pressed the poor pigeon down dozens of meters!

Compared with the unknown model of the Chinese plane in front of him, Major Alfonso and his pigeon plane are like a well-fed gannet, constantly chased by people with a big belly, and also stepped on it!

This is a provocation!

On the warship, the Italian soldiers watched with great excitement, and some even secretly pulled the bolt of the machine gun, ready to give the bastard a shuttle.

But at this moment, the plane actually turned around, ignored Major Alfonso, who was only 100 meters away from the water, patted his butt and shook his wings, and quickly flew into the distance.

The unlucky Alfonso did not expect that he would be subjected to this kind of misfortune for the first time on a mission, and when he saw his opponent leave, he found that it was very close to the sea, and quickly pulled up the nose of the plane, and the pontoons under the fuselage fell to the sea and remained stable.

"Bastard! You rude bastard! ”

Standing in the engine room, Alfonso cursed until a destroyer arrived and shut his mouth.

It was like a hiccup that the Nujiang radioed after seeing Fan Wu's return, and said that it had undoubtedly intervened in the war and evacuated the sea off Tripoli at high speed, and the Italian soldiers had forgotten about it for a while.

When the fleet arrived at the port of Tripoli, the guns of the ships roared rapidly, countless shells rained down, and as the main guns of the five Italian battleships began to roar the day after the declaration of war, the 50,000 Italian Army soldiers who had already been prepared also set off from Sicily to prepare for the landing in North Africa.

On the same day that the Italian fleet bombarded Tripoli, a large freighter from Kuwait quietly entered the port of Benghazi, unloaded forty-eight dismantled condors, and quietly rendezvous with the Nu before the Italians arrived.

------

"600,000 pounds a ship?!"

By the time the Ottoman Admirals Hakan and Talat Pasha arrived in Latakia, the news of the Italian Ottoman declaration of war had already reached here, especially the fact that Italy had sent five battleships to bombard Tripoli, which made both men realize that without a strong naval pindown, the Ottomans would probably lose the war.

So when they saw the Duke level who had been transformed, their eyes suddenly lit up, because the Chinese said that they would sell it to themselves before!

But when Wu Yingke quoted the price with a smile, the two of them all took a breath of cold air.

"Hehe, please look, two of you!"

Wu Yingke pointed to the three Duke-class ships on the sea in the distance and said with a smile: "We have changed the original four twin 203 mm naval guns of this battleship to four single 305 mm naval guns, so that the firepower has reached the same level, and when firing to one side, there are only two less main guns than the Izmail." ”

"In addition, the power of this battleship has also been fully upgraded, it uses the same type of steam engine that Germany is equipped with on Caesar-class battleships, compared to the two of you should have heard, we paid a high price to buy it, so its speed has increased from the original 18 knots to 22 knots!"

"According to our tests, its combat capability has reached seventy percent of that of the Izmail, but the price is less than half of the Izmail, as long as it does not meet the battleship Dante that has just been launched in Italy, then it is invincible in the Mediterranean!"

Wu Yingke's introduction made both of them unmoved, but the problem is that the Ottoman Empire has just purchased a super battleship from Britain, and it can't come up with so much money at present!

"Both." Wu Yingke looked at his watch and pretended to be anxious and said: "I can only stay for a few more hours, if your country can't make a decision, we will have to leave, because if we stay any longer, I'm afraid that the Italians and the British will find out." ”

This sentence made the two of them anxious, and set off with a total of 500,000 funds given by Mohammed V, but they didn't expect that they couldn't even buy one, do they really want to watch the North African provinces fall?

"Five hundred thousand!"

Talat directly quoted the price.

"How many?"

"One!"

"What, one? No way. Wu Yingke's head shook like a rattle.

Seeing Wu Yingke's decisive refusal, Talat and Hakan were all in a hurry, on the one hand, the indiscriminate bombardment of the Italian fleet, and on the other hand, the high price, it was really embarrassing!

"Of course, if your country is in trouble at the moment, I have a solution."

"Oh? What's the solution? Talatpa jerked to his feet and asked.

"Huh." Wu Yingke smiled and suddenly lowered his voice: "The right to build the Baghdad Railway!" ”

"What!"! ~！
