Chapter 644 The Pride of the Navy (Plus 1)

The Swordfish bomber took off first. At this time, they were not carrying torpedoes, but mines. Their mission was to mine the port to prevent French warships from rushing out of the port.

It's very simple, just close the door and fight. As long as the French warships can't get out of the port, it will take a few minutes to destroy them.

Just as the Swordfish bomber took off from the deck of the aircraft carrier, the calibrating planes on the battleships were also quickly ejecting and taking off.

In later generations, ordinary warships are loaded with helicopters, but now, large warships are loaded with seaplanes. They use catapults to take off on the warship. When they land, they directly land on the sea and wait for their warships. Recycle by crane.

In the middle of the ship of the Warrior, a super Marin Walrus water reconnaissance plane was hurriedly ejected into the air. This is a biplane reconnaissance plane that can also conduct artillery fire.

The open cockpit cover is a consistent British feature. At this time, at the back of the nacelle, the observer George, who was in charge of the artillery calibration task, felt a huge impact and rose with the carrier aircraft.

Every time I take off, it's like being kicked fiercely on the smooth ground. This feeling is really uncomfortable!

After a few seconds of dizziness, George got used to flying. The pilot in the front cabin had already piloted the plane and raised his own altitude. The French battleships on the anti-bottom side were lined up neatly, and they had not yet begun to move their positions. , is simply the best chance!

Holding the optical instrument, George was quickly measuring, and at the same time, he was constantly reporting: "distance, 15340 meters, bearing, 60 degrees, 30 minutes, 2 seconds, the first test shot, start!"

"Boom!" On the Warrior here, one of the main guns fired quickly, and the test firing started according to the data provided by the school firing aircraft.

With a beautiful trajectory, the cannonball flew over and hit the breakwater!

If it was on a warship, then I didn't know how far the shooting was from the target, and it was blocked by the anti-wave lift. However, on the high school shooting plane, everything could be seen clearly!

"Closed bullets, raise one point up, all the artillery, shoot together!" George shouted excitedly, his artillery shells were only a few dozen meters away from the French flagship, Dunkirk, as long as the elevation angle Raise a little bit and hit! At the same time, all the shells of one's own side hit the other's warships, which can kill the French flagship with one shot!

Excited enough to think about it.

"Raise the anchor," here, General Jean Sur was also giving orders.

Staying here, only to be beaten, they must move, even if the steam pressure is temporarily insufficient, they must move!

On what? Tugboats of course!

Compared with the steam engines of battleships, tugboats are almost always powered by diesel engines, and they can move as long as they are started. At this time, they can only rely on tugboats to make them maneuver first, even if they turn around first, let them move. Able to enter into a state of battle!

"Boom, boom!" The 381mm shell came flying again!

This time, the quasi-head of the British warship is really high enough!

They almost flew over the head of the French warship and splashed into the sea next to it. A tugboat was even nearly overturned by the splashing water!

"Distant shot!" In the sky, George looked at everything on the sea in a very depressing way. This time, he shot far! When he was just shooting at school, he actually forgot to consider the speed of his own warship!

Damn it!

But this time, it won't go wrong again!

Just when he was about to continue his school shooting, he only felt that his plane was turning quickly, and in an instant, he could no longer see the sea.

At the same time, one after another shells flew past his fighter jet, and in the sky not far away, black smoke exploded one by one.

Artillery!

Of course, the French Navy noticed this school-fired plane, which was the first target they had to deal with, although it was a bit far away!

On the French warships here, various types of anti-aircraft guns, no matter what they are within reach, are shooting into the sky. Even if they can't shoot down the opponent, they just hurt it or even interfere with its flight. It is also useful!

At the same time, the school shooting planes on the French warships also took off. They want to command their own warships to attack the British navy here!

The battle, as long as it starts, is endless!

At the same time, the news of the exchange of fire here quickly spread back to France.

The conference room was not large, and the smell of smoke was everywhere. Darlan closed his eyes and didn't want to speak, but the words of Pierre next to him were constantly entering his mind.

"Right now, our warships are in a hurry and may suffer a big loss. Only by turning to Germany can we help our navy," Pierre said.

Turn to Germany? Where is the pride of the French Navy? Darren is very contradictory.

The navy is different from the army.

Germany can ask France to have no army, but not kill the French navy, because the French navy is not within Germany's control.

And, the Navy is proud.

At the end of World War I, Britain and France drove all the German warships to Scapa Flow, wanting to take these warships as their own.

The results of it? The Germans cheated on them. At the last moment, they sank all these warships. The British didn't get anything, so Kong was overjoyed.

Therefore, Germany did not ask the French Navy what to do. After all, it was out of control. In case of urgency, the French sank all their warships, which would be of no benefit to Germany.

In history, it really happened that the warships of the French fleet sank to the port of Toulon, leaving Hitler in the air.

And now, the British first couldn't hold their breath and opened fire on the French fleet, which was equivalent to giving Germany a chance!

Darlan didn't want to have anything to do with Germany, but now, he has to bear the consequences of the possible annihilation of the French fleet.

"Report, Governor Falkenhausen is here." At this moment, an adjutant came in and reported.

At this time, France had completed the surrender ceremony and was divided into two parts. In the north of France, the German Falkenhausen exercised the duties of the governor of the military and political integration.

Now, the Governor of Falkenhausen actually came here, which made everyone stunned.

"Please come in," said Pétain hastily.

Although Petain is also the ruler of France, but now that France has become two halves, many times, he needs the support of Falkenhausen. Now, when the other party takes the initiative to visit, he must greet him with a smile.
