Chapter 710： Naval surprise plan

The Polish battle also ended with the spread of this famous photo. Although sporadic fighting is still going on, the large-scale organized resistance has ended.

Among them, the Polish government is the most funny. After Hoffman led the army to take Brest in a surprise attack, the Polish government immediately wanted to continue to flee. Only when they learned that the Soviet Union was also marching towards Poland, they scrambled to surrender to Hoffman, and at the same time proposed that they should not be handed over to either Soviet or German.

Hoffman agreed to their request without paying attention. The number of military and political personnel who subsequently surrendered to Romania rapidly increased, reaching a peak of more than 20,000 a day. By the time the Soviet-German army also arrived in Brest, Hoffman had captured more than 70,000 prisoners. They are basically military officers, intellectuals, government officials, etc., the elite class of Poland.

Hoffman also felt a headache for capturing such a large Polish elite, as if he had accidentally done something wrong.

So when this issue was reported to Edel, he also had a headache. These people can't let go by themselves, and can't kill if they are killed. After thinking about it, he asked Hoffman to hand over these people to the Soviet Union on the grounds of insufficient armaments.

As for what Stalin wanted to do, he couldn't control it.

Of course, his attention to the Polish campaign is not high, because historically, Germany alone resolved the battle in about a month. And now adding Romania, there is no reason why the time will be longer.

And now he pays more attention to the situation of the navy, because the Romanian Army has proven through repeated battles that he is also a strong in Europe and deserves the respect of everyone.

Regarding the navy, although the Romanian navy has surpassed Italy and ranked third in Europe, did the Romanian navy have not conducted modern naval operations before surprise attacks? (If the bombardment of the Bulgarian port in World War I is counted, it would be another time)

Now the Romanian navy needs to face the British and French navies. Its centuries-old reputation is no joke. Although the Romanian Navy itself has trained hard and has exchanges with the navies of other countries, this is not destined to represent actual combat. The Anglo-French navy has much more experience, not to mention, the first battle alone made it profitable.

Edel was also worried about this and had to look for precedents in history. Not to mention, Edel also found a good example from it, that is, the Japanese navy.

Although Romania and Japan did not have much exchanges, after Edel withdrew from the advisory group in the Far East, the relations between the two countries also quickly warmed up. There is no way that personal feelings cannot stop national interests, and Edel is also very clear.

Later generations knew the most about the Japanese navy during World War II as the battle of Midway Island, the battle of the Coral Sea, and the raid on Pearl Harbor. That's right, Edel is now going to learn from Japan's assault on Pearl Harbor.

Although Edel wanted to raid the British navy, he also knew that the earliest aerial raid in history was done by the British navy. The Italian Navy suffered huge losses in the British Mediterranean Fleet's surprise attack, which directly led to the Italian Navy's failure to take the lead after the war began.

Since it is the founder of the mountain who wants to deal with air raids, Romania must be well prepared. For this reason, in addition to needing intelligence support, Edel also needs to think of other ways.

I remember that before the Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor, they had conducted special training to simulate its venue. Naturally, Edel had to be perfect in this regard. An air strike area was completely simulated in Burgas Bay to simulate an air strike against Alexandria. And here imitating the air defense of Alexandria, to provide carrier-based aircraft pilots with more realistic battlefield facts and increase their success rate.

Of course, the Navy is under the point of Edelte, and there are not only these few things. If you want to make use of air strikes from carrier-based aircraft, the most important thing is that you cannot be spotted by the enemy. At this point, the navy and intelligence agencies need to think about ways.

Although Britain and France declared war on Romania, this main channel has fewer ships, but there are too many small islands on the sea of ​​love. As long as they are seen by the military and civilians on the island, then these Greeks don’t mind at all, and the Romanian fleet The news was communicated to the United Kingdom.

Don't doubt Greece's attitude towards Romania, if it were not for their strength, they would follow Britain and France to declare war.

Therefore, Romania needs to prepare for a surprise attack on Alexandria, and the difficulty is not low at all.

At least it will not be lower than the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, because the British aircraft in Egypt are not like Pearl Harbor, as long as they are destroyed, apart from the airport in Alexandria, there are also many British air forces stationed in Cairo and the Suez Canal. If an effective response is not made, the effect of air strikes will be reduced too much.

Edel also attached great importance to this, and personally summoned Holmonkman to inquire about the progress of the intelligence work.

"Holmunkman, how is your intelligence department doing with Project Z?"

Yes, the Romanian raid plan was named Plan Z, where Edel could swear to God that the absolute navy came up with it. At that time, he was stunned when he saw the navy hand over the code name of the plan. Of course, Romania’s Project Z is much smaller than Japan’s. Romania has used its **** as an aircraft carrier. Only three large aircraft carriers in the family can be brought on board. There are also two **** aircraft carriers modified with fast cruise ships (more than 30,000 tons, the maximum can carry 47 fighters, but also can only carry fighters).

Then there are 5 battleships, 3 heavy cruisers, 6 light cruisers and more than 20 destroyers and submarines. It can be said that the Romanian navy has all been brought on board.

It can also be said that in order to ensure the success rate of air strikes, everything is bet on.

So faced with Edel's questioning, Holmonkman naturally didn't dare to be careless. "Your Majesty, our country currently has a sound intelligence network in Egypt and the focus is also on Cairo, Alexandria and the Suez Canal. Since the beginning of the year, we have focused our work on Alexandria. We can do so now. Within a week, we will report specific information in Alexandria every six hours. In addition, we have also established a base in the Aegean Sea so that the fleet can provide cover when it passes.

Holmonkman's words have shown that the intelligence department has made the greatest efforts for this Z plan. The next step is to rely on the Navy itself and luck.

Yes, luck is very important for any military operation. The more dangerous the task, the more important luck. Edel naturally hopes that the Romanian navy will be lucky, but his excellent concealment work is also indispensable. Because no one knows whether the goddess of luck will favor him, but doing his job well can also increase the success rate of the action.

After Holmonkman reported on the work of the intelligence department, Edel could only wait for the fleet to attack smoothly. He took a look at the time, and now he was less than three hours away from the attack, and he was inconvenient to appear in Thessaloniki because the target was too big.

And Edel can only hope that this action can help Romania change the situation in the Mediterranean.
