Major General Jared, standing in the command room of the USS Indomitable aircraft carrier, leisurely looking at the beautiful and wide Mediterranean Sea with a cup of coffee. The seagulls flying on the sea and dolphins that occasionally jump out can describe Major General Jared's mood at this time. . The fastest update

If there is still a Pure Land in this world, then Jared believes that the Mediterranean is, although the Mediterranean is the sea rather than the earth.

The reason for saying this is not because there is no war in the Mediterranean. In fact, the Mediterranean is filled with battles, explosions and deaths almost every day.

but……

This kind of battle is overwhelming. The Italian Navy and Air Force is simply vulnerable in front of the British Navy and Air Force. The British Air Force not only has defense, but has even reached the point where it can attack Italy's mainland... In the battle of the surprise attack on the Port of Taranto, the British Air Force dispatched 21 attack aircraft, dropped 11 torpedoes and 60 bombs, and at the cost of two fighters, he achieved a brilliant record of sinking one Italian battleship, severely damaging two battleships, and injuring two cruisers and auxiliary ships.

Even if Americans hear this record, they will be surprised to hear it.

Because if the Americans wanted to sink or injure the Japanese battleship on the Pacific battlefield, they would always have to pay greater casualties. At least this was not something that could be done with 11 torpedoes and 60 bombs, but the British did it.

In response to this, including Major General Jared himself, he often showed off his record.

But Jared knew in his heart that this record could not show how strong the British team was, but how weak the Italian army was, just like on the African battlefield... The Commonwealth army could easily win the Italian army, but the situation was completely opposite despite having absolute advantage in the German army.

As for the victory of Taranto... those Italians actually arranged warships together in densely. Perhaps they never dreamed that the British Air Force would attack their ports, so they dropped a torpedo casually... The word "just" is used here because the torpedo is often not the predetermined target after being launched, and the "missing of the sub-car" accounted for more than 80%.

So Taranto's incredible record was achieved.

The Italian Air Force's performance was also very bad, but in fact it should be said that it was "scattered".

The British army originally thought that their carrier-based aircraft would not have an advantage against Italian land-based fighter jets, but the fact is the exact opposite.

"So, what else should I worry about?" Major General Jared said in his heart.

The missions of the British fleet and the air force are almost every day blocking merchant ships passing by from Italy to Libya, which is the maritime supply line of Rommel's African Legion.

Thinking of this, Major General Jared accidentally showed a disdainful smile on his lips.

There are two meanings about this disdain, one is disdain for the Italian Navy and Air Force, and the other is disdain for the Commonwealth Army... Fuck, the navy has been blocking the Mediterranean for quite a long time, and God knows why Rommel would still hit Egypt and even approach the Suez Canal.

"General!" At this time, Colonel Jason, a staff officer, nervously reported to Jared from a few meters away: "Discover the enemy aircraft group!"

"Oh!" Jared responded slowly.

Colonel Jason was just transferred from England, no wonder he was so nervous.

"Send a few planes to drive them away!" Jared continued to look at the seagull outside the window without even turning his head.

Major General Jared thought there was nothing to worry about. The Italians were just forced to come out and go around and then went back to report their "results".

The matter was indeed not as expected by Major General Jared, and soon the news of victory came from the report: "A group of Italian military aircraft was discovered, and twelve fighter jets... have returned!"

Major General Jared drank the coffee in his hand and handed the empty cup to Colonel Jason who came to report.

However, the coffee was still at Major General Jared's throat, and another correspondent shouted: "General, discover the German aircraft fleet!"

Major General Jared was choked and coughed violently.

He coughed while making an angry order: "Hurry up... organize defense immediately!"

"yes!"

A sharp air defense alarm immediately resounded over the Mediterranean.

Although Jason had just been transferred to the Mediterranean, he had rich command experience in the UK. So he ordered the warships to prepare for air defense while ordering the carrier-based aircraft carriers to take off urgently, and at the same time ordered all fighter jets patrolling nearby air to gather urgently.

However, victory always tends to be prepared.

Because the British army has a long-term absolute advantage in the Mediterranean, the British army has lost the necessary vigilance and combat readiness.

There are a total of six aircraft patrolling the air, but three of these six have been exhausted, and the other two will be exhausted... They are bound to attack merchant ships on the sea surface, even if these merchant ships do not have much value for attack.

When the pilots do this, British officers turn a blind eye because they believe that this is conducive to the training of British pilots' accuracy in dropping bombs.

But now there is a problem. When an emergency occurs, the fighter jets patrolling in the air have no ammunition, so they cannot play any role.

Afterwards, the British realized that this was actually a trick made by the Germans: they used some worn-out merchant ships with cargo-free merchant ships to attract British patrol aircraft to attack and exhaust their ammunition.

Jared recovered at this time. He hurriedly grabbed the microphone and ordered the fighter to take off in an emergency. However, the officers and soldiers on the aircraft carrier were at a loss about the sudden enemy situation and did not take off a single fighter within fifteen minutes.

At this moment, more than 30 German fighter jets and bombers had already flew over the British fleet. Amid the fierce sound of artillery and machine guns, German pilots familiarly controlled the fighter jets to break into the British fleet's air defense firepower network... They were all veterans who fought from the Soviet-German battlefield. They knew how to mobilize and avoid the air defense firepower on the ground.

Then, with sharp roars after sharp roar, the German Stuka bomber dived in a graceful and weird arc, and accurately dropped bombs on the British ships...

The German army's main target was obviously the "Unforgivable" aircraft carrier. With a violent shock in the hull, six bombs hit the aircraft carrier deck almost at the same time. A fire broke out from the aircraft carrier, and five six-barrel anti-aircraft cannons were blown off on the spot.

"Fight the fire with all your might!" Jared shouted in the artillery fire. He could no longer rely on the communication equipment on the ship because they had broken down due to the explosion.
