Chapter 399

After receiving the combat mission, the Royal Navy’s Mediterranean Fleet began to leave the eastern Mediterranean waters and sail westward.

The fleet of four capital ships is in front, while the aircraft carrier Eagle and Glory are located dozens of kilometers behind the main fleet. Sea Fighters and Great Gull dive bombers act as reconnaissance aircraft, searching the surrounding sea areas.

At the same time, the air search radar was also turned on to search the surrounding airspace to avoid enemy air attacks.

Although, judging from the intelligence obtained, the combat radius of the air force fighters of the Third Reich and the Kingdom of Caesar cannot cover the eastern Mediterranean Sea. However, they still have to be careful.

In view of the current situation of the Royal Navy, if the Mediterranean Fleet suffered heavy losses in a naval battle, or even a battleship was sunk, it would be almost impossible for them to get replenishment.

Therefore, Lieutenant General George not only wanted to win this naval battle. At the same time, we also want to win at the minimum cost.

At the same time, General Rommel was meeting with Lieutenant General von Waldau, commander of the Southern Front of the Air Force.

Lieutenant General von Waldau made a special flight from the Kingdom of Caesar to the North African battlefield.

"Your Excellency, Commander, according to the intelligence obtained by our reconnaissance aircraft, the army of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets is gathering towards the Alamein area. And that place is very far away from us. Fighter planes taking off from the Caesar Kingdom mainland cannot stay over Alamein. Otherwise, you won't be able to fly back. Even the fighter planes that took off from Sirt Basin Airport only stayed in the air for a very short time. Therefore, the Air Force suggested building a field airport near Tobruk and then launching an attack on Alamein. In this case, the Air Force can provide more support to the North African Army."Lieutenant General von Waldau said.

General Rommel nodded. The Empire on which the sun never sets will choose Alamein as the focus of defense. Naturally, these are taken into consideration.

In this war, the role of the air force has been fully exerted.

Every time A general cannot ignore the role of the air force.

Therefore, General Rommel absolutely does not want his troops to not have enough air support when attacking Alamein. He even has to launch an attack against the enemy's air attacks. That way It will be a huge disaster

"How long will it take to build a field airfield near Tobruk? General Rommel asked

"Your Excellency, Commander, at least a month. Lieutenant General von Waldau replied

"What? One month? No, it's too long."General Rommel shook his head repeatedly.

"Lieutenant General, I can only give you half a month."General Rommel said

"Your Excellency, Commander, it's been half a month. This is really too much."Lieutenant General von Waldau's expression changed drastically. He even wondered if General Rommel was doing it intentionally again.

"The Empire that Never Sets is frantically massing its troops. If we launch an attack again in a month, the Empire that Never Sets will mobilize more troops to North Africa. Even those guys in Gaul will attack Libia. At that time, we will have to face a two-front battle. Therefore, we must launch an attack in half a month and do our best to defeat the army of the Empire that Never Sets in North Africa in one fell swoop!"General Rommel's attitude was very resolute.

The reason why it took half a month was that General Rommel hoped that all the remaining troops of the North African Army could arrive on the battlefield.

At the same time, the Kingdom of Caesar's Libyan Army could also mobilize a group of elite troops. Join the attack. This way, their chances of winning will be greater

"Your Excellency, Commander, half a month is too short. We simply do not have that many manpower to build a field airport. If the Air Force wants to ensure air superiority on the battlefield and provide air support for ground forces, it needs to build at least ten field airports in Tobruk. Lieutenant General von Waldau said

"Lieutenant General, these are not problems. All engineering units of the North African Army can build field airports. The Libyan Army can also dispatch tens of thousands of people to build the airport. In addition, we have captured at least 100,000 prisoners of war, and we can send them all to repair the airport. Not to mention ten field airports, even twenty field airports would be no problem!"General Rommel said proudly.

Lieutenant General von Waldau's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Your Excellency, Commander, if we have enough manpower, there won't be any problem. Within half a month, those field airfields should be repaired. Lieutenant General von Waldau said

"Then, all problems will be solved."A smile appeared on the corner of General Rommel's mouth.

"Yes, Commander! Lieutenant General von Waldau replied

"Next, it’s up to the Navy. This time, the Mediterranean Fleet of the Imperial Navy of the Empire on which the sun never sets should no longer be a tortoise."General Rommel said

"Your Excellency, Commander, can the navy of the Kingdom of Caesar and our navy defeat the Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet this time? Lieutenant General von Waldau couldn't help but ask.

General Rommel shook his head:"I don't know." However, our strength is very strong. It is already impossible for the Mediterranean Fleet to win as easily as last time."

"Let's hope the Navy can win this time. In this case, we will definitely win this battle! Lieutenant General von Waldau said.

General Rommel nodded. If the navy can win and gain control of the Mediterranean Sea, the possibility of the Iron Alliance winning on the North African battlefield will naturally be greater. Even the price paid It will also be much smaller.

The main fleet of the Caesar Kingdom Navy is already advancing towards the eastern Mediterranean Sea at this moment.

The four capital ships, complimented by many cruisers and destroyers, look majestic.

As for the two Dunkirk-class battleships of the Third Reich The cruisers were nowhere to be seen.

They did not act together with the main fleet of the Kingdom of Caesar Navy, but acted separately.

As the Navy of the Kingdom of Caesar and the Navy of the Third Reich headed to the eastern Mediterranean Sea, the navy of the Iron Alliance and the Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet The decisive battle will break out again.

In the last Mediterranean naval battle, the Royal Navy’s Mediterranean Fleet easily defeated the Kingdom of Caesar’s Navy.

So, in this Mediterranean naval battle, the Kingdom of Caesar’s Navy hopes to avenge its shame. Revenge!_To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
