Chapter 713 - Short break
Sunrise and sunset, when the sun rises again, a new day in Rhode Island begins.
September 29th was a very ordinary day, but it was a different day for the Italian army in Rhodes. Less than three days after taking office, the Governor announced that today is his lucky day, so all the soldiers have a rest today. No matter whether it is a patrol boat or a patrol plane, there is no need to patrol.
This result naturally won the unanimous applause of the Italian officers and soldiers.
No one wants to go out and relax, although someone raises an objection, this will remove all guards on Rhode Island and give possible enemies a chance.
But where are the enemies in Italy now?
The French need to face the threats of the Germans, where they come to provoke us in Italy. The British need to deal with the Romanian fleet at Thessaloniki Port, and they also dare not provoke us. Although Dro is an ally of Italy, we have not declared war on Britain and France. They will only attack us when they are full. Do you think there are too few enemies?
So now Italy is like World War I, becoming the target of all parties. I heard that the British and French ambassadors in Rome run the government every day, hoping that we can stand on their side. For this reason, they also offered a lot of preferential rates. However, the wise Prime Minister Mussolini had already seen the intentions of Britain and France, and he remained unmoved and insisted on his neutrality.
Let us respect this **** war, which immediately makes Italy an indispensable protagonist in Europe.
Of course these are the ideas of ordinary military and civilians, but for the newly appointed Governor Putini, he must have a holiday today. Because this is an order from the Prime Minister, he must implement it, which is why he urgently serves as the governor of the island.
That’s right, it was the order given by Mussolini.
Because Romania asked Italy to provide convenience for Romania in Rhodes, and Mussolini agreed without hesitation. I didn’t ask for any specific information, so I just agreed.
Because the results of the two countries in Poland made him feel frightened, and the results of his discussions with His Majesty Edel also made him satisfied. Of course, Romania’s guarantee alone cannot satisfy Mussolini’s appetite.
He has always had a plan for a new Roman Empire in his mind, and the territory it needs is controlled by Britain and France.
Tunisia and Sicily can form a gate to control the Mediterranean, and Algeria’s rich resources can also help Italian industry to take off, and Egypt has the world’s first strategically important Suez Canal. All these can help Italy achieve the same status as Dro, and can also bring you unimaginable wealth to a place.
So it’s nothing to give Romania a little help. For Mussolini, it is not proportional to the rich and enviable harvest.
Yes, the Romanian task force is hiding in the sea 40 kilometers northwest of Rhodes. All the waterways are avoided here, and at the same time, it will wait for a short and safe rest.
In this fleet that contains all the main forces of Romania, the five battleships are still so conspicuous. The battleship Mircea, which had worried Midraphael and Fernandez before, still kept up with the fleet. After scalding the maintenance team leader, the worrying pipe was finally repaired.
And the fleet parked here naturally needs to let the naval officers and soldiers who have been tired for the night have a good rest, because they are considered to have passed the first stage, and they need to pass through the busy Mediterranean route unconsciously before they can reach the starting position.
Of course, the danger of crossing the Mediterranean Sea Route is much less difficult than rushing out of the Aegean Sea. After all, the 600-kilometer main channel requires interception of all civilian ships, and the difficulty is simply impossible to say. Fortunately, with the help of all the submarine officers and soldiers carrying the commando, they passed without risk all the way.
Now, except for some personnel left in the fleet, the crew of the other ships are all sleeping in Meimei.
And the crew in rotation will not do nothing just because the ship stops running. After all, the ship has to be inspected after 12 hours of continuous high-speed operation, especially the power system is the focus of the inspection. Therefore, the power system with serious oil pollution is flooded with a large number of inspectors. They carefully checked the conditions of every pipeline and equipment and facilities, and did not let go of any flaws that might have problems, to ensure that the warship can continue to operate smoothly tonight.
While the rotating naval officers and soldiers were protecting the various facilities of the ship, on the flagship, Midrafell still hadn’t rested, because he still had to stay until dark to rest. And he is not sleepy now, and is dealing with various affairs in an orderly manner.
“Let the submarine forces pay attention to the next Mediterranean waters. Here, British ships patrol intensively. They need to be careful.”
He has just signed an order against the submarine force. At present, in order to ensure the safety of the fleet, all Romanian submarines are currently dispatched. He has always remembered the contribution of these submarine forces. Then in the Mediterranean, the danger of submarine forces increased greatly, and the activity of British naval ships increased greatly, so these assassins hiding under the sea need to be more careful.
Speaking of it, I blame Romania for its poor geographical location, where it is unable to release the power of submarines. However, after the British Mediterranean Fleet is destroyed, there will be enough space for it to release its power without being stunned to the point of making the fleet an eye.
In Midraffair’s mind, the best hunting ground for these submarines is in the Indian Ocean. But this is something after the capture of Egypt, and for now, if the British Mediterranean Fleet is not beaten to the ground, then all this is impossible.
After handling the matter of the submarine force ~www.mtlnovel.com~ he immediately picked up the next one, which was the result report of the fleet’s inspection. And Midraffa looked carefully. The inspection report is pretty good. On the whole, the five battleships and five aircraft carriers (including two **** aircraft carriers) that I value most are in good condition.
Of course, it is not without bad news, that is, the heavy cruiser Brebesta found an important safety hazard, and a high-pressure boiler had internal cracks. In other words, if you take the heavy cruiser Brebista, it is very likely that you will fall behind halfway.
The report said that the current warship with major safety hazards should not continue to perform its mission.
Midrafell has been in the navy for almost half his life, and naturally knows that this kind of problem can only be returned to the shipyard for repairs. So the decision was made immediately, leaving the heavy cruiser Brevista behind.
…
Sunrise and sunset are the end of the day again. With the end of the day, the fleet recovered. The busy scene repeated itself again, and the fleet took advantage of the cover of night to leave this short haven and continue to march towards the Mediterranean.
