At 9:30 a.m. on February 25, west of Crete.

Six regular aircraft carriers and five improvised aircraft carriers are sailing against the wind, and the rear half of their decks are full of aircraft. When the carriers reached their maximum speed, the conning tower raised the signal flag for the aircraft to attack.

On the deck of the flagship of the aircraft carrier formation, the Han Dynasty, the fighters were divided into three parts according to their weight, with the first rows being the fighters with the lightest loads, followed by the dive attack planes carrying 500 kg of aerial bombs, and finally the torpedo bombers carrying the heaviest aviation torpedoes. At this time, the propellers of the fighters are slowly turning, and they have all completed the warm-up, just waiting for takeoff.

When the signal light on the control tower changed from yellow to green, two take-off command assistants wearing yellow vests squatted on the deck at the same time, knelt on one knee, and pointed to the front of the flight deck with their right hand, making the "aircraft carrier style" action that was all the rage in later generations.

The pilot of the first J-5 "Skua" fighter increased the throttle to the maximum, pinched the brakes, and when the propeller speed reached the maximum, the brakes were released, and the fighter began to slowly start under the drive of the 1000 kilowatt engine, and after ten seconds, its speed reached its maximum, and at this time the flight deck was only 20 meters at the end. At this time, the plane immediately opened its flaps and adjusted the lift to its maximum state.

When it left the deck, it sank down visibly, as if it had fallen, and disappeared from sight of the ground crew. A few seconds later, however, it reappeared and began to climb upwards.

Subsequently, the fighters on the deck took off one after another. Soar into the sky with the cheers of the ground crew.

When China's aircraft carriers and carrier-based planes had all been lifted into the air and had been marshalled, more than half of the British and French aircraft carrier-based planes had taken off. There is no way to do this, they are all temporary aircraft carriers transformed from high-speed merchant ships, and the speed of releasing fighters is definitely not comparable to that of regular aircraft carriers, and their aircraft carrier tactics are still very rudimentary, and they have not conducted "all-deck attack" training. The efficiency is certainly not as good as that of its Chinese counterpart.

Chu Wangyuan, the commander-in-chief of HNA, sat on a Qiang-2 "tern" dive attack plane, which was used as a command plane, so it did not carry bombs like its peers, but instead added a high-power radio station to the rear of the fuselage. He looked around and saw that the British and French planes were still being formed, and there was at least half an hour left to get them done.

"Forget it, don't wait for them, let them be the second wave......" Chu Wangyuan frowned, and didn't want to wait any longer for the British and French planes, so he commanded the Chinese aircraft group to go first.

On the bridge of the British temporary aircraft carrier "Courier," the commander of the air, Lieutenant Commander Andrew Brown Cunningham looked with envy at the Chinese aircraft carrier not far away.

"Hey, China's aircraft carriers are awesome......" Cunningham became more and more happy the more he looked at it, and then looked at his own ship converted from a high-speed cruise ship, and only felt that the indescribable face was hateful.

"There is no way, aircraft carriers, a new type of warship, are the first in China, and it is normal for them to be at the forefront of the world. Captain Smith shrugged his shoulders and said disapprovingly.

At this time, a staff officer said next to him: "Hehe, I heard that such a thing as an aircraft carrier was developed by China in order to deal with Japan's many capital ships. At that time, the Chinese navy was very weak, and the largest warship was a cruiser, which could not compete with Japanese battleships at all. China's air force is the first in the world, so they want to move planes to the sea to use, so they invented such things as aircraft carriers......"

This statement about why China invented the aircraft carrier is popular in the world, and it is recognized by the vast majority of people, and even the officers and men of the Chinese Navy itself believe this statement. And a few people in the know such as Wen Desi also laughed it off after knowing this statement.

Cunningham nodded and said: "But I have to say that China's goal has been achieved, judging from the previous examples, the role of aircraft carriers as a new type of ship is indeed quite considerable, and I think they really have the potential to replace battleships." It's a pity that our British Empire doesn't pay attention to aircraft carriers, and now we don't have a few decent aircraft carriers......"

Of course, Britain still has a few regular aircraft carriers, but they are all used to protect the mainland, and only three temporary aircraft carriers have been sent over in the Mediterranean to make up the numbers. Britain has only five regular aircraft carriers in active service, three Valiant-class aircraft carriers and two Hundred-Eyed Giant-class aircraft carriers.

Among them, the Brave class was converted from a large light cruiser, that is, the famous boo cruiser, a "light cruiser" equipped with a 15-inch main gun, the brainchild of Daddy Fisher, the British First Sea Secretary at the time. As it turned out, this extremely specialized thing didn't do much of it. When their supporter, Father Fisher, went home to retire after two crushing defeats in Jutland and Corsica, the three awkward cruisers were converted into three aircraft carriers by the British Navy.

And the real specially designed aircraft carriers of the United Kingdom currently have only two Hundred-Eyed Giant-class. However, whether it is the Brave class or the Hundred-Eyed Giant class, they are light aircraft carriers with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, and in order to adapt to the high sea conditions of the North Atlantic, they have to adopt a closed hangar design, and the number of aircraft carried by the guide is very small. Completely incomparable with China's professional aircraft carriers.

In fact, although the "Courier" is a temporary aircraft carrier, its tonnage is really not small, and it is larger than China's Han Dynasty class. The predecessor of the "Courier" was a high-speed cruise ship completed in 1913, and after being converted into an aircraft carrier, the standard displacement was up to 4. 70,000 tons, with a maximum speed of 28 knots. And China's largest aircraft carrier, the Han Dynasty class, although it is a regular aircraft carrier, has a standard displacement of only 3. 30,000 tons, which is obviously a small circle.

China has a total of nine aircraft carriers of three classes, and the original Yu Chao was a test aircraft carrier, but it has now been relegated to the second line as a training and research ship, and no longer joins the front-line operations. The real first-class regular aircraft carrier is the Xia Dynasty class, there are currently four (Xia Shang Zhou Qin), this kind of standard displacement of 25,600 tons of aircraft carriers, its size and performance are roughly the same as the original time and space Japan's Xianghe-class aircraft carrier, the maximum speed of 32 knots, the carrying capacity of 86 aircraft. The second-generation Han Dynasty class is actually a modified version of the Essex class of the original space-time and space United States, with a standard displacement of 33,200 tons, a maximum speed of 32 knots, and a carrier capacity of up to 115 aircraft. Of course, they are all beveled decks, which are much better than the original.

A total of six ships were built in the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty were both in the Mediterranean Sea at this time, the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty had just been completed, and they were still training and running in at home, so they did not come this time. The No. 5 ship, the Song Dynasty, and the No. 6 ship, the Ming Dynasty, are still outfitting.

Of course, the Han Dynasty class is not China's newest aircraft carrier, and the six Liaoning-class ships that are still under construction are. Yes, Liaoning-class aircraft carriers, when the dynastic names are used up, they begin to use the names of provincial-level administrative regions. Because the lead ship of the Liaoning-class was built at the Dalian Shipyard, this class of aircraft carriers was named "Liaoning-class" by General Wen, and this time the world war may not be able to catch up.

........................................................................

By the time the aircraft carrier formation released the attack aircraft group, the capital ships of both sides had already begun to exchange fire.

The Italian-Austrian fleet has been suppressed by the Allied fighters because the reconnaissance planes have been suppressed, and they do not know the layout of the Allied fleet.

The Entente fleet was different, they had the advantage of aerial reconnaissance, and there were more than a dozen planes monitoring their every move in the sky over the Italian-Austrian fleet at any time. After discovering that the Austro-Hungarian fleet was attacking in a horizontal formation, Gao Yujie immediately ordered the whole team to turn left.

So the 34 battleships turned to the left in unison, and the bow turned north, showing the starboard side facing the rushing Ito-Austrian fleet. For the Ito-Austrian fleet, the route home from the north of the Channel was undoubtedly the shortest, so here it was guarded by the strongest Chinese battleships, then the French fleet, and the British fleet in the southernmost part.

The battle line of the Entente from north to south was the twelve super-dreadnoughts of the Chinese Navy, the four Sunwu-class super-dreadnoughts of the First Battleship Column, and the eight Fuxi-class super-dreadnoughts of the Second Battleship Column. The seven French battleships were in the middle, two Lone class dreadnoughts, three Liberty-class dreadnoughts, and two Republic-class dreadnoughts. Britain's fifteen-year-old dreadnoughts were deployed on the southern flank of the battle line, two of the Sir Nelson-class, five of the Edward VII-class, three of the Duncan-class, and five of the Dreadnought-class.

And the capital ship arrangement of the Allies was the opposite, with armored cruisers and ex-dreadnoughts in the north and super-dreadnoughts and dreadnoughts in the south. From north to south, there are three Garibaldi and three Maria. The Empress Theresia class, two Pisa-class and two San Giorgio-class, a total of ten armored cruisers. Then there are the pre-dreadnoughts, followed by three Queen Elena class, the Queen Margritte, and three Radetzky-class, for a total of seven former dreadnoughts. Next were the three Earl Cavour-class and four Combined-Force class dreadnoughts, and the southernmost were their strongest forces, four ultra-dreadnoughts, two Andrea Doria-class and two Queen Elizabeth-class.

In other words, the two sides have consciously or unintentionally formed a situation of strong against weak and weak against strong. For the Entente fleet, such a shape is of course very good, and the strongest warships of the other side are the farthest away from the path of the old nest and need to make more detours. And the most powerful Chinese Sunwu-class battleships could have ample time to stop them.

Due to the shortage of battleships, the Allied fleet also pulled up the armored cruisers, while the Entente side did not have the first line of mounted and heavy cruisers, and all were on standby on both flanks and rear of the battle line. Coincidentally, these unlucky armored cruisers were facing super dreadnoughts, and in front of the powerful Sun Wu class, they were obviously sent to the head. Of course, this kind of "field and horse racing" front arrangement, there will also be an unfavorable situation on the side of the Entente against the strong, but that is a matter for the British. Besides, they are also former dreadnoughts, and they can always hold out for a while.

......The first to fire was the two Queen Elizabeth-class battleships in the Italian-Austrian fleet, which were extremely formidable battleships that had not been seen in the history of the original time and space, although this was a shrunken Bavaria-class, but it was also the most powerful battleship in the Mediterranean. Equipped with nine 390 mm guns, a 360 mm main armor belt, and a maximum speed of 22 knots, this super-dreadnought is one of the masterpieces of both attack and defense.

The two Austro-Hungarian super-dreadnoughts were lucky, they were facing the weak link in the Allied fleet, the former dreadnought formation on the southern flank, and they were still facing the Duncan-class dreadnoughts, the most crispy of the dreadnoughts.

The Duncan-class was a late pre-dreadnought completed in 1903-1904 at the beginning of this century and was a product of the so-called "double-strength standard". The "double strength standard" is to ensure that in any case the Royal Navy has more warships than any two foreign navies combined, or at least equal. And the second and third in the world's navy are the Franco-Russian alliance, which is a good friend.

After receiving information from France and Russia on the construction of high-speed warships, the British designed the Duncan class on the basis of the Dreadnought class. In order to catch up with the known fast French and Russian warships, the Duncan-class was 1 knot faster than the battleships built earlier, and the displacement was also reduced by about a thousand tons, but this was achieved on the basis of sacrificing armor for high speed, and its broadside main armor was cut from 228 mm to 178 mm in the Dreadnought class. Such thin-skinned dumplings against the Super Dreadnought, the ending is

The Italian-Austrian fleet was cut off by the Chinese Navy because of aerial reconnaissance, and they did not know the situation of the Entente's array in advance, and they were able to choose this position exactly, which can only be explained by luck. The worst thing is that the Austro-Hungarian Navy seems to have had a particularly good luck today, and the first test launch of the United Empire came with a big explosion of character.

"......Boom" The Essmouth suddenly shook, a large orange fireball appeared on the rear deck, and then there was an earth-shattering explosion, and the entire rear main turret flew up, and then the Essmouth, a 13,600-ton former dreadnought, was cut in two in a violent explosion.

A 390mm shell tested by the United Empire miraculously hit the target, the 880-kilogram armor-piercing shell fell at a large angle, hit the deck near the rear main gun, and then penetrated the poor 63mm deck armor of the Essmouth, and continued to penetrate the ammunition depot, and then exploded inside.

"it! At least 26 kilometers, one shot is a second......" The pilots of the school shooting planes above the fleet, regardless of whether they were enemies or enemies, were stunned by this human bomb.

"Boom, boom...... Boom Boom ......Boom Boom "The twelve super-dreadnoughts of the Chinese Navy also immediately returned the color, their target was a bunch of mounted cruisers and front dreadnoughts on the opposite side, according to Gao Yujie's plan, they would smash the opponent on the opposite side with a thunderous force. Then, with a speed far exceeding that of the Italian-Austrian battleships, he quickly circled behind them and burst chrysanthemums.

This is the "hammer tactic" of the high commander, the powerful Chinese fleet as the "hammer", and the British and French fleets as the "anvil".

Well, this plan was improvised by the High Commander after he discovered the position of the enemy ships from aerial reconnaissance. As for forgetting to inform the British, well, it's not a big deal. The British Empire is the largest naval power, and I believe they can still do this.
