"Your Excellency, based on the intelligence we have recently obtained. The sun never sets on Imperial Royal Navy maneuvers that are mundane. Its home fleet has assembled most of its main force to block our coastline and cut off our logistics supply lines. Moreover, the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet has also gathered a lot of strength. Its target is most likely the transportation line between the Caesar Kingdom and Libya."Admiral Canaris said.

Hess's face became gloomy. The Mediterranean direction is undoubtedly the shortcomings of the Third Reich.

The strength of the Third Reich cannot be invested there for the time being.

"Can the Kingdom of Caesar's Navy withstand the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet? asked Hess.

"Your Excellency, it may be difficult. The main force of the Kingdom of Caesar's navy is two Count of Cavour-class battleships and two Cayo Dolio-class battleships. These four battleships were all battleships built in the last world war. Even with modern modifications, performance is still poor. In terms of other cruisers and destroyers, the Kingdom of Caesar does not have any advantage. The Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet includes two Revenge-class battleships, two Queen Elizabeth-class battleships, one King George V-class battleship and one Prestige-class battlecruiser. In addition, there are the aircraft carriers Eagle and Glorious. If the navies of the two sides start a war, the chance of Caesar's Kingdom winning is no more than 20%!"Marshal Redl said

"Two percent? snort! I think both parties overestimate Caesar's Kingdom. If their Veneto-class battleships can be put into service, they may be able to deal with the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet. As for now? It is simply no match for the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet."Hess is not optimistic about the Kingdom of Caesar.

Marshal Redel also nodded, agreeing with Hess's view.

"No matter what, remind Caesar's Kingdom and let them be careful! They are in Libya, but they have twenty-five troops. If the transportation line is cut off, the consequences will be disastrous." Hess said

"Yes, Your Excellency." Marshal Raeder replied

"General Dönitz, can the submarine force be deployed to the Mediterranean? Negotiate with the Kingdom of Caesar and let them open some ports to us to supply our submarine force. If more than twenty submarines can be deployed in the Mediterranean, this will pose a great threat to the empire on which the sun never sets. After all, most of the strategic resources transported from Tianzhu and Persia to the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets passed through the Mediterranean." Hess said

"If there is a supply base, it is entirely possible for the submarine force to dispatch twenty or even forty submarines into the Mediterranean."Admiral Dönitz said.

Hess nodded:"Okay, let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs negotiate with the Kingdom of Caesar."

However, Hess is not sure whether the Kingdom of Caesar will agree.

That guy Benito is quite arrogant and conceited. The Third Reich wants to use their port as a submarine supply base, which is not an ordinary difficulty. Big!

Gibraltar is a colony of the Empire where the sun never sets. Or, it is more appropriate to describe it as an enclave.

Ever since the Empire of the Sun Never Sets seized this territory from Franji, it has attached great importance to it. Not only in Ports and fortresses were built here to guard against enemies.

Especially after the Suez Canal, the strategic position of the Mediterranean route became even more important. This made the Gibraltar Fortress guarding the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea equally important. The Sun Never Sets Empire is more It has strengthened the defense here. In addition to the Mediterranean Fleet using this place as its home port, it has even built a specially built airport and deployed aircraft. Even the Marine Corps has deployed thousands of people here.

Mediterranean Fleet Command, Fleet Commander Officer General Andrew Cunningham was standing on the balcony, looking at the warships parked in the military port.

Although the Empire that the sun never sets has already begun to decline, it can even be said to have reached the afterglow of the Empire. However, the proud The generals of the Royal Navy are still working hard to maintain the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets.

"Your Excellency, Commander, and the Minister of the Navy have issued an order requiring us to set out immediately to destroy the Kingdom of Caesar's navy and cut off the sea transportation line between Libya and the Kingdom of Caesar's mainland. If there is a chance, destroy the port built by the Third Reich in Libya, and even blow up the Third Reich's oil fields in Libya."Vice Admiral Bruce Fraser, Chief of Staff of the Fleet, reported.

Admiral Andrew Cunningham nodded:"Tell His Excellency the Lord of the Navy that the Mediterranean Fleet is ready for battle. This time, we will definitely be able to complete the task!"

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!" Lieutenant General Bruce Fraser replied

"How is the mood across the fleet?" Gen. Andrew Cunningham asked.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the morale of the fleet is high. Everyone has been eager to launch an attack!"Said Lieutenant General Bruce Fraser.

A smile appeared on the corner of Admiral Bruce Cunningham's mouth.

The glorious Royal Navy has dominated the world's oceans for hundreds of years. In these hundreds of years, they have defeated one after another. A powerful opponent.

Even if the current Royal Navy is not as powerful as before. However, it is still not something that the Caesar Kingdom Navy can deal with. The

Mediterranean Fleet alone is enough to destroy the Caesar Kingdom Navy.

"Very well, order the fleet to prepare for battle. Let’s leave the military port tonight!"General Andrew Cunningham ordered

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander! Vice Admiral Bruce Fraser replied.

On the evening of June 5, 1939, under the leadership of Admiral Andrew Cunningham, the Royal Navy’s Mediterranean Fleet was in full force. The huge fleet included five battleships. A battlecruiser and two aircraft carriers. In addition, there are seven cruisers and fourteen destroyers.

Although the Mediterranean Fleet is not the main fleet of the Royal Navy, it is more than enough to deal with the weak Caesar Kingdom Navy. The six battleships of the Mediterranean Fleet are enough to kill the four old battleships of the Kingdom of Caesar Navy. Even among the six battleships of the Royal Navy, five are also battleships built in the last world war. But The performance of the battleships of the Empire where the Sun Never Sets is undoubtedly superior to that of the Kingdom of Caesar. What's more, there are also the support of two aircraft carriers. Even though the strength of the carrier-based aircraft of the Empire of The Sun Never Sets is not very good, the bombs and bombs carried by the carrier-based aircraft are Torpedoes can still pose a fatal threat to the battleships of the Kingdom of Caesar._Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection, recommendation,
