Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

On October 42, the Chinese army and navy task force sailed to Gibraltar. The fleet was divided into two groups. One, the escort group, consisted of four Tsarist-era battleships, eight Tsarist-era cruisers and ten Tsarist-era destroyers. ; Second, the transport cluster, consisting of [-] transport ships from Tsarist Russia and the Ottoman Empire, the entire fleet, with [-] military ships, stretches for nearly ten kilometers at sea.

The fleet was marching, and two large battleships suddenly appeared in front of them. Flags were flying high on the battleships. The flags were composed of three vertical stripes of green, white, and red. White was in the middle, green was on the left, red was on the right, and the middle In the white stripes, there is a shield-shaped badge, and above the shield is a white cross, which is the national flag of the Kingdom of Italy.

The commander of the task force is Wang Yongling, the deputy commander of the amphibious warfare army. Although the amphibious warfare army did not attack Gibraltar this time, Wang Yongling has rich experience in amphibious warfare, so Lin Yuan "airborne" him here. Commander of this operation.

Wang Yongling is also a member of the Beijing warship. He served as an amphibious warfare staff officer on the Beijing warship and later joined the amphibious warfare army. Wang Yongling recognized the Italian flag and knew that the two warships were Italian warships, so he couldn't help laughing.

It is well known that the Italian army’s combat effectiveness is not strong, especially in the Second World War in Lin Yuan’s era, the Italian fleet was even called the “cardboard fleet”. Annihilated the British Mediterranean Fleet, but was attacked by the British Air Force, and the entire army was wiped out, which has become a laughingstock for all ages.

These two Italian battleships were heading in the same direction as the Chinese fleet, just in front of the Chinese fleet, and their speed was very slow. If the Chinese fleet maintained its original speed, it would definitely collide with it.

Wang Yongling used a communicator to contact the captains of the ships: "Italy is also a country along the Mediterranean Sea. We are now relatively close to Sicily, Italy. The activities of the Italian fleet in this area are normal. Let's ignore them and send them a message to let them evacuate us. route."

The commander of the escort group was Antoniev. He immediately picked up the communicator and contacted the Italian warship on the international maritime communication frequency: "Your ship is on the route of our fleet and there is a danger of collision. Please avoid it immediately."

Soon the two Italian warships sent back a message: "Please avoid immediately!"

Antoniev was furious at the time. In navigation, it is an international practice for small ships to avoid large ships, and small fleets to avoid large fleets. The Italians did not follow this practice and let the Chinese fleet avoid it. This is simply a provocation to China. .

Antoniev immediately reported to Wang Yongling: "Commander, the Italians actually asked us to avoid them."

Wang Yongling frowned. There are only two Italian battleships, but they dare to provoke our Chinese fleet. On our side, there are four battleships alone, and eighteen cruisers and destroyers. How dare you provoke us?

However, Wang Yongling has one of the biggest characteristics, that is, after the goal is clear, he will never do anything other than the goal. The main goal of the fleet this time is to attack Gibraltar. Apart from this goal, everything else is not worth doing.

Wang Yongling said in a deep voice: "The Italians obviously want to provoke, ignore them, and order the entire fleet to change course and avoid the two Italian battleships."

Antonev said angrily "I understand", and then gave an order to the entire fleet. The 42 ships in the entire fleet immediately turned in one direction and avoided the two Italian battleships.

But no one expected that the two Italian battleships turned their course at the same time and blocked the front of the Chinese fleet.

Now the Chinese fleet is in trouble. It is unreasonable for two Italian battleships to dare to provoke like this. Do they know who they are provoking?It is China, the largest country in the world, the most powerful country in the world!

Antonev immediately sent a message to the two Italian battleships: "My fleet has already evaded, why did your fleet change course again and block the route of my fleet?"

The Italian battleship sent back a message: "We are proceeding according to the scheduled route and have not blocked your fleet at all."

"Then can you inform us of your fleet's route so that we can make targeted avoidance."

"No, our fleet's route is absolutely confidential and must not be disclosed to anyone."

Antonev had no choice but to ask Wang Yongling for instructions: "Commander, what should we do now?"

Wang Yongling said coldly: "We don't need to be familiar with the Italian battleships. Let's turn the course again. This time, we turn back to the original course. I see what the Italian battleships say. They have no reason to return the battleships to the original course again."

Antoniev agreed and gave another order to adjust the course. The fleet changed its course again. What they didn't expect was that two Italian battleships immediately adjusted their course and blocked the advance route of the Chinese fleet again.

Again and again, not again and again, Wang Yongling has endured two Italian battleships twice, and it is impossible to bear it a third time, so Wang Yongling personally sent a message to the Italian battleships: "Why did your battleships block my fleet again?"

The Italian battleship continued to reply: "This is our scheduled route."

"Italy battleship, on behalf of the People's Republic of China, I issue a solemn warning to you. What you have done has seriously threatened the safety of my fleet. If you do not change course immediately, my fleet will regard you as a declaration of war against China."

Wang Yongling said some harsh words. He thought that the Italian battleship would leave here, but he did not expect that the Italian battleship sent a message back to Wang Yongling justly: "On behalf of the Kingdom of Italy, I would like to issue a solemn warning to you. Your fleet has entered the territorial waters of the Kingdom of Italy. , if your fleet does not withdraw immediately, our fleet will give you the most severe punishment."

You mere Kingdom of Italy, dare to threaten China!

Wang Yongling said angrily: "Our route is the most common high seas route for countries along the Mediterranean Sea. There is no such thing as violating the territorial waters of the Kingdom of Italy. Italian battleships, I warn you, our Chinese fleet is not something you can provoke."

The Italian battleship seemed to be consciously at a loss, and was embarrassed to say more. After a short silence, it suddenly said: "My ship suspects that there are pirates on board, please stop the ship immediately and undergo inspection." Share Canghai's writing story)
