The aircraft carrier eagle, originally admiral latore built for the Chilean Navy, was interrupted by World War I.
After that, it was purchased by the Royal Navy to conduct carrier based aircraft operation test, complete the modification as an aircraft carrier and become a quasi aircraft carrier.
This aircraft carrier has a standard displacement of 22600 tons and a maximum speed of 24 knots. It can carry 21 aircraft.
Originally, he served in the Indian Ocean two months ago. After that, he was incorporated into the British Mediterranean fleet. Now, he belongs to the flagship of the Mediterranean fleet.
At this time, on the bridge of the aircraft carrier, Lieutenant General Sir James Somerville of the Royal Navy, as the commander-in-chief of the fleet, looked at the sea in the distance, and his brain had been running rapidly.
To be fair, he did not want to carry out this operation, because it would lead them to fight against the French fleet.
He hated such a mission, but as a soldier, he must obey orders as his bounden duty.
Perhaps London's consideration is reasonable. The French navy will either join the British fleet or die! It can't be cheaper, can it?
This time, after accepting the mission, James led the fleet to prepare for crossbow operation. Their goal is the French fleet still remaining in the French colony and stationed in milskbeer in North Africa!
After all, the strength of the French fleet is also very strong, so they almost mobilized all the warships that can be mobilized on the ground and at sea.
In addition to the eagle, there is the hundred eyed giant, which is of great significance to Britain.
This is the first aircraft carrier with straight through flat flight deck in the world after the British bought the Italian merchant ship "kutiroso".
It is the first warship with the shape of a real aircraft carrier. In the British navy, it has the significance of opening a new era.
Although it has been refitted many times, it is the foundation of merchant ships after all. Therefore, in the British navy, this aircraft carrier is more used as a training ship, and now it is also dispatched.
The two aircraft carriers have 24 "sea gull" fighters and 20 "swordfish" torpedo bombers, which is their greatest force. If they finally draw their swords against each other, these forces are enough to send French warships to hell.
At the same time, their formation also has battleships "warrior" and "determination", two cruisers and 11 destroyers. It can be said that after the main force of the British navy was destroyed by the raid in Scarpa Bay, this is the largest naval force that Britain can take. These forces are entirely for the purpose of safeguarding Britain's sea power in the Mediterranean, In order to ensure the safety of routes from bases in the middle east across the Mediterranean to the mainland.
Germany's expanding naval strength has always been developed in the Atlantic, and now there is no trend to expand to the Mediterranean. Even so, their actions must be fast!
Therefore, the whole formation was sailing at almost full speed. His aircraft carrier soared to a high speed of 24 knots.
He didn't know that a German submarine found them nearby.
It is most convenient for submarines to attack sideways, but the other side will not stop and must move. Especially now, in high-speed navigation, Captain Helmut has to consider many factors, and it is very important to judge the route in advance.
Now, he's not sure.
But now that the British fleet has been discovered, how can they run away in despair!
Even if you waste four torpedoes, try it once! Helmut just wanted to continue to give orders, when he heard the voice of the chief mate: "Captain, a telegram has been sent from Berlin asking us to keep tracking the British fleet and not to launch an attack for the time being."
track?
Helmut's eyes left the periscope. Just when he found the target, he sent a telegram back to Berlin. Who could have thought that there would be an echo so soon.
Just track, not attack? Helmut had some doubts about this order and accepted it.
However, it is not easy for your submarine to track up. If you use a battery, the speed is not high enough. Moreover, if you sail at your highest speed, it takes only an hour, and there is no valuable power. If you turn on the diesel engine, it is easy to be found by the other party.
You know, it's terrible for a small submarine to track an aircraft carrier formation. As long as it is found by the other party, it can't run away.
In particular, even at full power, his submarine can't run at a speed of 20 knots. It's not so easy to track each other.
So he took his eyes off the periscope, swallowed and spit, and Helmut looked at the chart.
If you can't catch up, you have to guess what the goal of the British navy is this time. Their high-speed navigation at such a big night is definitely not an ordinary patrol. Such a big fight is definitely to fight.
However, the target will not be Germany, because the German Navy is now in the Mediterranean, there is nothing else except submarines, and it will not be its own Libyan base, because the Libyan base is inland, it is useless for the navy to come over, and the Libyan base has a perfect air defense system, and their shipborne aircraft in the past can not be cheap.
Italy? As long as the British are not mentally disabled, they will never provoke Italy at this time.
Then, the final answer is ready to come out.
The British want to fight the French navy. The target is the French naval port in Algeria.
Lowering his head and drawing a line on the chart, Helmut said, "let's start at once and go to milskbeer base!"
Now catch up and you can catch prey! Helmut was excited again.
The submarine with only the vent pipe exposed, started the diesel engine and continued to sail on the sea. Although the British navy was getting farther and farther at night, they didn't give up. There were their own prey!
H fleet sailed at high speed. After two hours, it finally came to its destination, the periphery of milskbeer port, ten nautical miles.
The newer F-class destroyers form a short-range defense circle, while several old destroyers built in the later stage of World War I carry out anti submarine patrol missions in the periphery.
Inside the defense circle, battleships are ready to go. On the two aircraft carriers, preparations have begun to release carrier based aircraft, which can launch attacks at any time.
"We have just received a telegram from London." Lieutenant general Somerville took a telegram and said to his staff, Colonel Holland, a former naval attache in Paris, France.
Colonel Holland received the telegram and only saw that it said: "your task is one of the most unpleasant and difficult tasks ever encountered by the British Fleet Command, but we have full trust in you and believe that you will carry out this task mercilessly."
That's the last scene people want to see, but maybe things are not so bad.
"The French admiral and I are good friends. I'll go there as a private person first. Maybe I can convince each other." Said Colonel Holland.
At this time, at 2:25 a.m., Colonel Holland went to the flagship of the French fleet "Dunkirk" by destroyer.
This is destined to be a sleepless night!
