The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 1221: prelude

Chapter 1221 Prologue

A fateful duel between the British and German air forces! However, at this time, mortals who know nothing about fate are still doing their own things conscientiously. For example, the current Captain Halley is patrolling while arranging the cruise plan of the aviation team.

According to the order, Harley’s air force will be directly under the navy. Their task is to ensure the safety of Constantinople and nearby naval bases. For this purpose, the navy has sent a liaison team so that it can establish contact with the air defense post. How to patrol and how to arrange interception operations is Harley's own business. To this end, he needs to understand the environment of the mission area in order to arrange patrol missions.

"It seems that we should have come out earlier to stop the British reconnaissance planes." Halley said depressed looking at the empty sky except for white clouds. What should I do if I have nothing to do? Naturally looking for something to do! Fishing in the Black Sea is obviously not a good choice, and playing bridge in the dormitory is not a good idea. So after coming, Halley decided to see if he could ambush the British reconnaissance plane. This is definitely a game for the brave and the wise! Determine the route of the British Air Force through intelligence and analysis, and arrange the ambush plan. This is the time for an ace pilot to do. It is best to touch it from behind without the other side noticing it, and then in the two aircraft In the staggered ten seconds, the opponent was beaten into a fireball cleanly! Well, this feeling is really addictive!

"It seems that the British have chosen to fly most of their voyages at night, and will show up near Constantinople on time during the day. The time before we came, and once 3 days ago, plus today is the same. They will appear in two places, one place is near the port, and the other place seems to be the sea north of Constantinople. I always feel there is a conspiracy in it!" Lieutenant Hess sitting in the back seat watched. With the map in hand, he communicated with Halley.

"You mean, I'm afraid the British are going to attack the shipyard?" Harley said with a tight tone.

"It's hard to tell. If the plane is carrying a bomb, you can drop it directly. In the daytime, I am afraid that there will be no chance, but if it is like now, when the day breaks, the British bomber will just appear in Constantinople. Over the port, it’s really hard to defend against. And you know, those two warships are still being repaired, and the personnel on them are not complete, so phase transfer is not easy."

Lieutenant Hess said in a very casual tone. At this time, Hess just described it with his own ideas. He did not think about the possibility of the British doing it like this. After all, let’s say nothing else, where did the British call so many bombers? Turkey, not on the western front!

"If, when you are okay, would you choose not to sleep in the early morning and drive the plane to discredit your journey, just to take a look at Constantinople in the sun?" Halle asked.

"Maybe once, but not three times." Hess was taken aback first, and he realized the key to the problem... Night flight, and it's such a long night flight. Don't look for the city of Constantinople, but you can fly over in one night, and it's not less than an hour from top to bottom. These are all elites!

"So, I feel, we have something to do!" Harley said with a deep breath. "Send a telegram to the Admiralty guys and say, death comes from the sky!"

"Well, you mean, the British planes have appeared more frequently recently, and the time is always early in the morning?" At noon that day, the earl who was having lunch looked at the telegram sent from Constantinople and asked.

"Yes, the Bavarian Air Force said that this may be a harbinger of a large-scale action by the British, and the commander who led the team was also described as dead from the sky." The officer sending the intelligence said.

"This is a bit exaggerated." The earl frowned slightly.

"According to the information from the Port of Kiel, the British bombers can conservatively use bombs or torpedoes weighing up to 500KG. If it is a bomb, the charge of the 500KG bomb may be more than 300KG. As for the bombing accuracy. According to our experiments, it is still possible to attack a fixed target the size of a battleship in the harbor." The officer said.

"Fuck!" The earl was really not calm. He was frightened by the high explosive of 300KG. Let alone whether it is armor-piercing or not, let alone throw it on the superstructure. Even if a near-missing ammunition falls next to a battleship, the damage is probably much stronger than a mine. How much explosive is a mine? But only up to 200KG! This bomb actually has a charge of 300KG? Too cruel!

"What's their opinion?" The earl put down his knife and fork and wiped his hand with the napkin on the table.

"The best thing is to transfer. In addition, it is recommended to deploy more searchlights and anti-aircraft weapons around the port. Of course, Captain Halley also said that he is willing to try to ambush the British." The officer said.

"The Joint Force should be ready for action. The power system and weapon system have been repaired. Only the superstructure is left. You can consider arranging them to a port in Romania, where it is more convenient to receive materials from the mainland. The Bulgarian fleet will also go north temporarily. In the Bavarian Army’s defense zone, they will be safer.” Count Spey said.

"Then what about those things above us?" Brigadier General Pachner, the captain of the Prince Eugen sitting aside, made the earl shiver involuntarily~lightnovelpub.net~ This is a kind of soldier. Perception, you can call it the sixth sense, which is an almost instinctive reaction formed after many fights, a keen perception of crisis, unreasonable doubt, unreasonable accuracy! For example, during the last night attack on the French fleet, Earl Spey specifically requested the Prinz Eugen to serve as a security mission.

It is not that the British aircraft did not appear near their base. In fact, traces of British reconnaissance aircraft have recently been discovered throughout the northwestern region of Asia Minor. Earl Spey felt that there was a problem for a long time, but he could not grasp the key point. This time, after the professionals from the Bavarian Army came to remind him, the Earl seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem!

The earl had made the best arrangements at this moment. The Bulgarian fleet went northward and entered the defensive range of the Bavarian Army, which was far away from Greece or Serbia. The British wanted to reach it with some difficulty. As for the two battleships in Istanbul, the Joint Force has to move quickly. There are only two and one, I am afraid it will not work. The power system is being outfitted, and it is half drawn. If you want to go, you can find a high-power tug. Where is the tug...
