Romanian Eagle

Now the smoke of the Greek land has gradually dissipated, and even if there are still some unwilling people, they are taking up arms to resist the rule of Romania.

However, some of these people are cleared of troops. At present, of the 20 newly formed divisions in Romania, 8 divisions have been mobilized to clear them, and by the way, their officers and soldiers can gain experience in such low-intensity battles.

The city of Athens has been in a strange state of prosperity since it fell into Romanian hands. At present, various industries in Athens are extremely prosperous, but the most conspicuous of them are the service industry and shipyards, both of which are leaders in various industries.

The former brought the warblers from all over Greece, and the latter also brought many boatmen to seek a living. Because there are currently nearly 200,000 Romanian troops from the sea, land and air forces in Athens, so many troops make Athens almost become a large barracks.

This has kept the newly established Greek provisional government busy. They are deeply afraid that these Romanian soldiers will come and make the Athenian people's dissatisfaction with it, making it difficult for the government to do it.

Fortunately, these officers and soldiers from Romania are very restrained in their behavior, and generally only go to drink and chat or go to the fireworks place to relax. The Romanian military also attaches great importance to this. In many areas where officers and soldiers go, they send military police on duty to restrain military discipline.

In addition to the many fights and troubles, the Romanian officers and soldiers are still able to speak. Of course, for those who are fighting and causing trouble, it is an inevitable choice to be sent to the confinement room for a few days.

And so many Romanian troops gathered in Athens, of course, not here to relax and drink. In fact, they are also preparing for the war, and then they need to compete for Crete.

Yes, after capturing the Greek mainland, the Romanian side began to prepare for the battle for Crete again. Because all this was done to hurry up, when the British and French naval forces, Germany and Italy were restrained, the Romanian military force appeared in the Middle East, and more precisely in Suez.

Romania is very aware of the importance of Suez. As early as the early 1930s, the Romanian military had planned an attack on Suez, but the Romanian navy was not strong enough at that time, it was just a game.

After the merger of Robo and Paul, Romania attached more importance to Suez. And by the time Romania got northern Greece, it became a viable plan.

Of course, no matter which plan, Greece is an inescapable role. In addition, with the increase of Romania's military strength, Greece gradually changed from the need to win over to the need to seize.

Under the guidance of such a policy, Romania's military operations can also be understood.

Of course, after the Romanian army occupied Greece,

Did not stop. Taking advantage of the short preparation time, the Cyclades Islands captured by the navy were preparing for the capture of Crete.

The busiest time during this period was the navy and air force. One of them needed to escort the army officers and soldiers to land, and the other needed to seize air supremacy with the British fighter jets flying from Crete.

But all the busyness was worth it. Within half a month, the Cyclades Islands were basically captured by Romania. The fact that Romania can take the Cyclades Islands so quickly has a lot to do with the low morale of the islands' receipts. Moreover, the Romanian army's stubborn posture made many Greek defenders lose their confidence.

That's why Romania can quickly capture the archipelago. After all, this is different from the previous capture of the islands in the North Aegean Sea, which has been prepared for a long time.

This time, the occupation of the Cyclades Islands was completed in preparation for landing on Crete. Many materials were prepared for Crete, so this preparation was the most hasty. Fortunately, the morale of the defenders was not high, and Greece spent more energy on strengthening the defense of Crete.

The mission of the Cyclades is more about buying time for Crete.

And this time is obviously not wanted by Romania, so after capturing the archipelago, Romania immediately prepared to attack Crete.

If you want to seize the island, you must give priority to ensuring sea power, so as the first mover, the Romanian First Fleet is ready in the Port of Athens.

The First Fleet this time consists of Vlad, Mircea, and Borkos, three battleships, two aircraft carriers Buck and Jarscu, and more than a dozen light cruisers and destroyers. composition.

They will ensure that Romania has a firm grip on the Aegean Sea. command them. Will be Lieutenant General Midraphael with outstanding military exploits.

This battleship, which occupies nearly four cities in the Romanian navy, naturally needs someone to send it off. Admiral Nestaku, the commander-in-chief of the navy, sent them off at the port.

"Midraphale, I won't say anything this time. You should know the importance of this mission to the Navy's next plans."

Although Admiral Nestaku's tone was not heavy, the meaning of his words was quite profound. As a lieutenant general, Midraphael couldn't hear it. Of course, he also knew that this was not because the minister and the commander-in-chief were harsh on him. That is to have greater expectations for yourself and to put pressure on yourself.

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency Commander, this time I will definitely do my job well and ensure the smooth implementation of the landing plan."

Midraphael's words made His Excellency the Admiral smile, and he patted the Lieutenant General's shoulder and said. "Okay, I wish you a smooth journey this time, let's go."

After saying goodbye to Admiral Nestaku, Midraphael boarded the flagship Mircea, which he had a soft spot for because he was the first captain of the Mircea.

After greeting Captain Kirsty, Midraphael gave the first order. "Order the fleet to set off, let's go to Thera Island."

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander."

Thera is the Cyclades island closest to Crete, only 193 km from Heraklion in Crete. It was captured by a Romanian infantry regiment a week ago, the airstrip was built three days ago, and the Navy's third shore-based fighter group was stationed a day ago.

And today, Midraphael passed by with his fleet. This shows that Romania is in an urgent mood and will not give the Greek defenders any chance to prepare. Because the sea power is in our hands, and we can attack it as we can.

For the attack on Crete, Romania is fully prepared. Naturally, he will not forget to remove the possible support from Crete.

For this reason, another fleet commanded by Major General Fernandez is also carrying out the mission to Crete, but they are carrying out the blockade mission. For this reason, all three Bormicu-class aircraft carriers are in the hands of Fernandez, and the other two battleships Kurmis and Tinick are among them.

Rear Admiral Fernandez's fleet, which currently has sea and air superiority, has entered the Mediterranean Sea. They are in the waters south of Crete, blocking possible support from Egypt.
