Romanian Eagle

Martial law is now in full swing in the port of Thessaloniki as Eder prays for the fleet that is about to strike. Military and police are under martial law in the port area and in the areas where details of the port can be seen at various heights of the city.

In the port, due to the influence of the declaration of war with Britain and France and the blockade, no merchant ships can be seen in the port, and now only the mighty and majestic warships are left in the port. This also makes Thessaloniki Port a veritable military port.

And now all the new Romanian warships are assembled in the port of Thessaloniki. From the earliest Mircea-class battleships to the last Kurmis, the five majestic battleships lined up to fascinate everyone.

But this time the pig's feet were not them, but the three Bormicu-class aircraft carriers beside them. This large fleet aircraft carrier, which can carry 91 carrier-based aircraft, is the protagonist this time, and now they are also parked aside.

Of course, there is no shortage of heavy cruisers in Romania. Although it is not as good as other countries, Romania still has 7 ships, from the earliest Brebista class to the latest Halter class. And these 7 膄 are also one that does not fall in the port.

As for the large number of light cruisers and destroyers in the Romanian Navy, the port is also full.

At the port, Admiral Lomodan, Minister of the Navy, and Admiral Nestaku, Commander of the Fleet, were seeing off the soldiers who were going on the expedition.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"For Romania."

"Thanks for your hard work."

"For the honor of the Navy."

"Thanks for your hard work"

"For the kingdom."

Lomodan and Nestaku shook hands with the captains of the ships one by one. When they came to the end of the team, it was Lieutenant Admiral Midraphael, the commander of the fleet, and Major General Fernandez, the chief of staff of the fleet.

Needless to say, Lieutenant General Midraphael has always been trained as a successor. As for Major General Fernandez, there is a sense of sudden emergence.

During the First World War, Fernandez, who had just left the military academy, could only hold a trainee position on a warship. And in the first ten years after the war, this one was not very good either.

It's just that when we entered the 1930s, this Fernandez began to become a naval aviation faction, and kept saying that Romania needed an aircraft carrier to defend its sea frontier. And Fernandez also coincided with the meeting, and just seized the opportunity of Romania to promote the aircraft carrier, so it was logical to serve as the captain of the experimental aircraft carrier.

And he does have the ability. During his tenure as captain, Fernandez not only formulated many management methods for carrier-based aircraft, but also effectively explored how to use the aircraft carrier. And this is very important, and Fernandez naturally served as the captain of the aircraft carrier Bormicu. Enlisted, he further served as the commander of the aircraft carrier battle group.

As for this operation, he was mainly in charge of the command, because he was the person who knew the operation of the aircraft carrier best, and he was also one of the main persons in charge of the plan formulated, responsible for the air attack plan of the aircraft carrier.

So Admiral Lomodan walked in front of him, patted him on the shoulder and said. "In this expedition, the Romanian people are waiting for your good news, and I hope you can come back victorious."

In the face of Lomodan, Fernandez will naturally not drop everyone's morale. "Please rest assured, Your Excellency Minister. In this expedition, we will meet the requirements of the battle and will not disappoint the Romanian people."

After talking with Fernandez, the two stood in front of Lieutenant General Midraphael, the commander this time. Unlike Fernandez, Lomodan only patted the tall lieutenant general on the shoulder.

"Remember to take the fleet out in its entirety, and bring it back in its entirety."

And Lieutenant General Midraphael nodded vigorously, "I will."

Needless to say, because they knew Midraphael very well, the lieutenant general became more and more stable. With him as the fleet commander, at least one layer of insurance can be added to it.

Because if there is an accident in the fleet, it will destroy the achievements of Romania for two decades. This is why, in World War I, both Britain and Germany handed over their large fleets to the hands of prudent generals. Maybe he can't help you get a great victory, but at least he won't suffer a heavy loss. And this is also the key point that all countries must consider. It may take more than ten years to build a fleet, but it can be completed in one afternoon when all the losses are lost.

After seeing off, the two admirals gave a deep salute to the soldiers who were about to go out.

The neatly drawn "Wow" return salute shows the well-trained naval officers and soldiers.

"Time is running out now, so I won't talk nonsense, let's go. I'll watch you set sail from behind."

After the ceremony, Lomodan looked at the captains in front of him and returned to their respective warships in the transportation boat.

As for the two leading generals, they took a transport boat together and boarded the flagship battleship Kurmis.

As the flagship of Romania, the Kurmis has a full load of up to 52,800 tons, is equipped with 9 406 mm 45 times main guns, and has a maximum speed of 31.7 knots. It can be described as the leader among Romanian battleships. Of course, other battleships are not bad either. Except for the 380mm main gun that was equipped with the first battleship Mircea, the remaining four battleships were all equipped with 406 calibers.

Some people even joked that the Romanian battleships alone were enough to give the British Mediterranean fleet a headache.

And after the two fleet commanders boarded the warship, Midraphael, the fleet commander, looked at the afterglow of the last sun in the sky and gave an order. "Order all ships to leave the port in sequence according to the scheduled order to go to sea."

Following Midraphael's orders, the destroyers that served as the fleet's cordon left the port first, followed by light cruisers, then heavy cruisers, battleships, aircraft carriers, and then various support ships of the navy.

And these support ships will not follow them, because their task is to provide timely repairs for ships that may fail, and the maximum speed of only 189 knots is not qualified to follow.

Even the eighteenth and nineteenth verses are not qualified, so how many verses are needed to follow?

The exact answer must be no less than 28 verses.

Such a high speed basically excludes all non-combat ships.

That's right, the Romanian Navy's plan this time does not consider warships under 28 knots. Because they are about to have a 12-hour and 28-knot speed racing, and all the warships that failed to complete the task within the stipulated time are not eligible for the next stage of the task.

That's right, in order to cross the Aegean Sea unknowingly, without being discovered. The most probable way the Navy came up with was to race the car late at night, using the cover of the moonlight to quickly pass through the 600-kilometer Aegean Sea at a speed of 28 knots. By dawn, the Romanian fleet had taken refuge in a secure location.

For this mission, the navy overhauled all the warships participating in the operation, especially the power system, which is the key to the inspection. And just replacing parts for these warships is enough for Romania to build another destroyer.

And after all the ships had sailed out of the port, Midraphael immediately issued an order. "Order the fleet to set the speed to 28 knots now, turn on the lights at the same time, pay attention to the distance, and do not collide."

Following Midraphael's order, each ship immediately increased its speed, and the combined maintenance team of the wheel was even more concerned about their own situation and did not dare to neglect.

On the sea, the warship with the lights turned on, like a colorful palace in the sea, galloped all the way to the target.

In fact, there are still two ships, which were also incorporated into the fleet, but due to their speed, they could only set off one step ahead. That is two escort carriers converted from high-speed cruise ships, the Bibuck and the Jarscu.

The two aircraft carriers reached nearly 30,000 tons, but because they were converted from high-speed cruise ships, they could only carry 47 fighter jets (not long enough to take off torpedo planes and bombers). And because the speed can only reach 23 knots, the two ships were sent to sea ahead of schedule, the reason is that they intend to return to the Black Sea.

Why did they try to incorporate these two escort aircraft carriers into it? This is also the reason why there are too few Romanian aircraft carriers. Although these two ships can only carry fighter jets, two more aircraft carriers are very helpful to the plan, so the Navy can only use camouflage to let the two ships set off in advance.

Under the cover of the night, all the Romanian warships were racing in the Aegean Sea, and no one came out to take care of them.

(The Romanian sea attacked, and then the submarine carried the frogmen to control the civilian ship, and then all the way to the vicinity of Rhodes)
