The Rise of the Empire

*****The length of the strait is about 200 kilometers. If the warship is traveling at the highest speed, it will take about 6 to 7 hours. Considering that you are unlikely to go in a straight line, it will take one night to pass One of the very important reasons why this strait chose to enter this area in the evening is to allow Italian scout ships to discover this warship! \u003c/p\u003e Only when it is discovered can it attract the Italian fleet, and relying on the superior speed of this warship, it is no problem to run away. Of course, there were no weapons on this ship. But don't worry about being attacked by the Italians. On the one hand, you can't catch up, and on the other hand, even if the small boat can catch up, do you dare to hit the muzzle of a 10,000-ton cruiser? \u003c/p\u003eWhat if you are surrounded by the opponent? That's okay, the bait boat has received an order before departure, if it really can't escape, it can show its identity and remove the camouflage. Anyway, this ship does not have any weapons, it is sailing on the high seas, you are wrong, can you blame the Germans? Coupled with the German squadron that is deterring the Atlantic Ocean, the Italians will make the right choice! \u003c/p\u003eIf you want to ask if there are fatal flaws in this plan, of course there are, for example, what if the Italians do not see the bait boat, or what if the Italians lay mines in the Strait of Messina, in theory, as long as If Italy had not obtained the information that the German fleet entered the Mediterranean Sea, it should not have laid mines in the Strait of Messina, because this is also a very important traffic artery for Italy. If sailing at night, there are no markers, even if there is a Breitou, what should I do if I hit it? \u003c/p\u003eAnd there is a characteristic of the Strait of Messina, its water movement is very intense, not to mention throwing a bunch of floating mines and don’t know where to go, even if you throw anchor mines, it’s hard to say what will happen? It is difficult for the Germans to lay mines in this strait, but it is also difficult for Italy! It's scary to think about the sea mines being laid before dark, and the minefields gone after dawn. \u003c/p\u003e Fortunately, so far, the Italian navy has not laid mines in this sea area. How do you ask the Germans to know? The reason is simple. In the past two weeks, a German camouflaged reconnaissance ship flying the Norwegian flag has traveled the Strait of Messina 7 times! \u003c/p\u003eThis camouflage ship is a ship that normally runs on the Mediterranean route. Even a month ago, it was a serious business. Code, use this ship's radio to communicate. And the cargo is still placed in the cabin. Even if Italy comes up to check, it only needs to hide a password book weighing no more than 300 grams! \u003c/p\u003eGenerally speaking, even after laying mines, in order to ensure the normal navigation of the channel, a navigator or a guiding ship will be arranged for civilian ships to guide neutral national ships to cross the minefield. Therefore, if the Italians really laid mines during the time when the German fleet went south, then let this German camouflaged reconnaissance ship with a Norwegian construction period lead the Scheer fleet to sail through the minefield with the help of the Italian guide ship, Anyway, it was getting late, and Italy could not see that the ship was a battleship. \u003c/p\u003e"What do you think of this plan? I have always wondered why you only made half of the plan? You only got along with how to send Scheer in, but you didn't make a next-step battle plan." As the Kaiser asked Herbert, who represented Vienna. \u003c/p\u003e"Do you think that a person sitting in the court will know the situation better than the people on the front line? Once the war starts, the battlefield will be over in an instant, and it is impossible to rely on the rear to order actions. If a commander cannot adapt to the situation If all kinds of emergencies happen, then he is not a qualified officer."\u003c/p\u003e "And I also want to see what kind of results Scheer can use this opportunity to achieve! This is a test,

But it's also an opportunity, and I think the Kaiser meant the same thing. We need a capable and vigorous fleet commander. Both Hipper and Earl Spey have led the team independently. This time, let's take a look at Scheer's level. "\u003c/p\u003e "Major, we are already in place. An officer said to Major Frederick.\u003c/p\u003e "Very good, send the first telegram to Fleet A to prepare them to pass through the Strait of Messina at any time. Expect us to give them an evening to get through the Italian defense. Don't forget to add a byline at the end - bait! "Major Frederick said after crushing the cigarette butt in his hand.\u003c/p\u003eThe bait boat numbered k passed through the Strait of Gibraltar two nights ago, and then sailed to the predetermined sea area at high speed. It is impossible to avoid all the ships in the Mediterranean area. But seeing that most of their ships stayed away from this "warship". The French fleet originally stationed in the naval ports of Algiers and Toulon also wanted to monitor the Germans. Some of the warships were also transferred to the Atlantic Ocean a week ago, so the No. K bait ship arrived at the designated position proudly and without any risk. At this time, their adventure has just begun!\u003c/p\u003e "Italy's vigilance is still quite high yes. "Shortly after the bait boat entered the **** strait, sneaky figures appeared around them. They kept a close distance and tried their best to track the whereabouts of the k-bait boat. Half an hour after the person's tracking, the radio receiver of No. K decoy boat received a set of strange signals.\u003c/p\u003e "This is the Italian sending a message. Although we cannot decipher the content of the information, if it does not come out If there is an accident, they should be hooked! "It just so happened that the Italian's transmission frequency was within the acceptable range of the German's antenna." Since it is used as a bait, then we have to increase the speed to 20 knots like some, and escape to the coastal areas of North Africa. "Major Frederick ordered.\u003c/p\u003e"The Flying Fish spotted the armored cruiser Prince Albert sold to Turkey by the Germans. The Germans really hoped to use the cover of night to escape, and we are trying our best to follow it. "\u003c/p\u003e"They began to turn and sail away from Sicily. The opponent's speed was very fast, and it was difficult to track. It's getting dark, hopefully we can keep track! "\u003c/p\u003e"The Bonito has reached the designated sea area, and we saw a vague figure in the distance. If nothing else, it is them, we are contacting Flying Fish, hoping to stop it! "\u003c/p\u003e"Our contact is intermittent, but fortunately, the other party does not seem to be very familiar with this sea area. They need to turn on the lights and refer to the markers on land to determine their position. They are already approaching the coast and even heading towards the port. . "\u003c/p\u003e A piece of information was quickly sent to the desk of Duke Abuqiru, and he was able to outline the general outline of this matter with the help of this information.\u003c/p\u003e The third update is here~~~ Please subscribe Seek\u003c/a\u003e~~~!\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/div\u003e
