Romanian Eagle

The arrival of the French fleet in Algiers was soon known to Italy.

The Italian side took this seriously, not only sending several reconnaissance planes from Sardinia to the port of Algiers to observe the situation of the French fleet, but also sending small warships to patrol the waters from Algeria to Tunisia. This also led to a huge increase in the number of battles of its small warships.

"bang"

A cannonball landed on the side of the Storm, and the shock wave generated by the explosion chilled the crew on the Storm.

But they were already cold without water, because behind them, two Italian destroyers were in hot pursuit. The navies of the two countries are both opponents in the Mediterranean, so the various warships of the other side have long remembered that they are well-done. The figure behind it does not need to look much to know that one is a Voyager-class destroyer. From the side suspension, it seems that it is the Damosto, and the other is the Sierra-class Sierra.

Which of the two warships is stronger than the storm, one is equipped with six 120 guns, and the other is equipped with four 120 guns. And the storm is only equipped with 4 doors, how to fight with them.

What's more, the Storm was the first batch of destroyers after World War I with a thousand tons, and the two Zhongsiela behind them were okay, the gap between the two was not too big, and the Storm still had the strength to fight. But the Damosto, the Storm can't really beat it. This is a navigator class. It is crushed by the tonnage alone, not to mention the firepower, protection, and speed. The Storm is left behind.

Of course, if the fantasy class appeared at the same time as the Voyager, it would not be able to offset the gap between the two.

The two destroyers were chasing after the Storm, how could this not make the storm's crew feel cold. What's more, the top speed of the Storm is 33 knots, and the two Italian destroyers that are chasing behind are 35 knots (Serra) and 38 knots (Damosto). This made the Storm into an embarrassing situation where it couldn't be beaten and couldn't run away.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Shooting several times in a row made more and more water columns fall around the storm, and the distance was getting closer and closer, and the pressure was getting bigger and bigger.

"Counterattack."

With a roar from the captain, the Storm was finally provoked by the enemy's artillery fire and wanted to do something reflexively.

There are many such situations, some are dominated by the Italian Navy, and some are dominated by the French Navy. But no matter what the situation is, it indicates that this is a sign before the storm, and the two sides are doing their best to fight for a first-mover advantage.

Of course, Palermo and Algiers, which are currently home to the two fleets,

is the focus of attention. I don't know how many moles that are not easily revealed on weekdays take the initiative to come forward at this time, just to send a message to this side a few minutes in advance.

On the fleet warship docked in Algiers, Admiral Darlan did not disembark. Not only did he not disembark, but the crew was also ordered not to disembark. In the face of such an inhumane order from Darlan, the fleet did not have any complaints.

This also has a lot to do with Darlan's influence on the Navy, even though Darlan became Chief of Naval Staff in 1936. But his influence on the French navy started very little.

However, its main influence on the navy is mainly concentrated in the past ten years or so. Under his influence, he has made indelible achievements in terms of doctrine, technical equipment, treatment of officers and soldiers, commander training, etc. "The French navy, under his ten-year special management, has achieved better efficiency than it has since the French Revolution. any period of time".

It can be said that, to a certain extent, Darlan is the French Tyre Bitz or Fischer. Therefore, it is no accident that every battleship and every sailor of the French Navy is absolutely loyal to him.

And the ability of this Admiral Darlan is also recognized by everyone, even the current enemy, the colleagues of the Three Kingdoms navies, also sincerely recognize the head of the French navy.

That's why when the inexorable message from the waters of Algeria to the waters of Tunisia appeared on his face. The admiral put it down after only one look.

Navy battle casualties, but he also knew it was inevitable in the pursuit of victory.

So now he wants to ask more, where is the British fleet.

"Is there any news of British warships now."

"No, their latest news is that they passed through Gibraltar last night and entered the Mediterranean Sea."

After listening to his subordinate's report, Darlan came to the chart, and after some measurements, he spoke. "The fleet commanded by General Cunningham should not be too far from us, but I believe he will avoid the Italians and find himself. Then we will give him the greatest help."

After putting down the pen, Darlan gave the order. "Now I order the fleet to set sail immediately and advance towards Tunis. At the same time, I order the air force to cover us along the way from Italian air attack."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Following Darlan's order, the ships immediately rang the bell to prepare for sailing. At the same time, the huge iron anchor was slowly put away, which also announced the news that the fleet was ready to leave.

Such a huge movement has attracted the attention of many people in the city, not to mention some special people who can't wait to hang their eyes on the warship.

For a time, the radio waves in the city made a great deal, and countless messages were sent to the places they wanted to go through the radio waves.

And all of this has no effect on Darlan. He already knew this, otherwise he would not have stopped in Algiers on purpose.

Of course, if Darlan moved here, then Italy couldn't sit still. The Italian fleet in Palermo also began to do the same, lighting fire and preparing to set sail.

In particular, Admiral Campionni, who was the commander of the fleet, was mobilizing before the war.

"Everyone, now the French fleet is rushing to Tunisia, our opportunity has come. The French fleet has been hiding in its own port for a long time and dare not face our challenge head-on, so now the 100,000 French troops in Tunisia have to be The reason for coming out."

Compionni glanced at the vigorous officers standing straight in front of him, and sighed in his heart that it was nice to be young.

"Since the French fleet has dared to come out, this time we must not let it go. We have to let the French know who is the master of the Mediterranean. The next battle will show all this, so I hope that every naval officer will stick to himself. I will do my best for the navy to win the crown of sea power.”

With the mobilization of Campionni, the Italian fleet also went to sea, and both fleets were heading towards the Tunisian waters.

As the two fleets approached, the eyes of all countries in the world were focused on Tunisia, where a naval battle known as the post-Jutland was about to start.
