Chapter 1307 Show Off Your Power

The Hindenburg class is the largest battleship in Germany, with a full load displacement of 70,000 tons. This huge battleship is specially designed for battles in the Atlantic Ocean, but in the narrow Mediterranean Sea, it always feels powerful and cannot be displayed.

However, a warship must be run-in before it can exert its combat effectiveness. The Mediterranean Sea is now an absolute inland sea, and it will not be disturbed by submarines. It is more suitable for the German Navy to train troops, so this Stuttgart is now training in the Mediterranean Sea.

On the tall bridge, Captain Hans von Friedberg, looking at the outline of the continent at the junction of the sea and the sky in the distance, his mood is quite heroic.

They have already sailed into the Aegean Sea, in the east of the Aegean Sea, Turkey, in the west, Greece, now, they are here to provoke, they want to conduct a military exercise in the Aegean Sea!

Now, Fredberg is just emerging. He served as chief mate on the cruiser Karlsruhe for 36 years, and then participated in the military intervention against Spain as a naval staff member. After the end of the Spanish War, he served as a naval staff officer in the North Sea Fleet Command.

In these resumes, Fredberg was not particularly outstanding, so when he was promoted to be the captain of the Stuttgart, he was still wondering, so many captains were staring at this As for the location, this is the most powerful battleship in Germany. How can I get him?

It is said that this was promoted by President Cyric himself, which filled his heart with a sense of honor and mission, and he must not fail the high hopes of President Cyric!

Of course Fredberg wouldn't know, Cyric had paid attention to him for a long time, and Cyric would never forget those loyal to the Empire, such as this Fredberg, in history, he was The last commander-in-chief of the German navy, when he signed the surrender document on behalf of the German navy, chose to commit suicide and follow the distant Third Reich.

Such people are the most loyal to the empire, and of course they must create their own glory for them. Therefore, the captain of the Stuttgart, under Cyric's hand-picked, became Fredberg, and now he still Just the rank of colonel.

Next to Friedberg is Vice Admiral Wilhelm Marshall of the German Navy. He served as the commander-in-chief of the exercise mission. After receiving the mission, he chose the Hindenburg-class as his flagship. battleship.

At this time, he was also using his telescope, looking at the outline of the coastline that was gradually approaching.

"General, the aircraft carrier Hitler has already started taking off carrier aircraft as ordered." At this moment, the combat staff said to him.

Lieutenant General Marshall took his eyes back to the formation. Right next to the Stuttgart, the aircraft carrier Adolf Hitler was releasing his carrier-based aircraft.

The deck was filled with steam, a FW190 fighter jet flew quickly from the deck, and the pilot Lieutenant Colonel Prila pulled the lever with ease. With the roar of the 1,800-horsepower engine, his fighter jet flew into the blue sky.

If the fleet is close to the waters of Turkey, it is natural to worry about the attack of the Turks. Although this possibility is very small, it is still necessary to make adequate preparations.

Although the radar on the warship has the function of air-to-sea, the blind spot is too large, so in this era, it still mainly relies on the visual identification of the pilot.

Like now.

As Lieutenant Colonel Prila's fighter plane climbed, he looked at the horizon in the distance. There was the Turks' coastline. Just 20 kilometers away from the coastline, there was the Turks' air base.

The FW190 fighter jet pulled up, whistled in the sky, and flew in the direction of Turkey. Under the wings, the black cross was so dazzling.

Behind Lieutenant Colonel Prila, the FW190s took off one after another. Together with the other two escort carriers, a total of forty fighter jets took off.

Prila's plane soon approached the Turkish coastline. He didn't mean to stop at all, and kept flying towards the Turkish airspace.

On the coastline, Turkish air defense positions.

A famous soldier looked at the sky with angry eyes, their anti-aircraft artillery was right next to him, but without an order, they didn't even dare to set up their anti-aircraft artillery.

If there is friction, as long as their own anti-aircraft artillery fires towards the sky, the next moment, the German artillery shells will pour frantically, and the German Stuka bombers will also drop countless bombs, maybe , the Germans are waiting for this opportunity to do something with Turkey.

Although they were angry, they were helpless.

"Put me up, if the Germans dare to invade our airspace, kill him!" A squad leader of the Turkish anti-aircraft artillery finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly.

His subordinates also moved quickly, shaking their anti-aircraft guns crunchingly, and at this moment, the company commander rushed over eagerly: "You idiot, you have angered the Germans, can you afford this responsibility? Quick, take back the anti-aircraft gun!"

Facing the provocation of the Germans, the Turks did not even have the courage to show their weapons.

Fortunately, the German plane did not directly invade their airspace. Just on the coastline, Lieutenant Colonel Prila pulled the lever. His fighter plane was very careful not to enter Turkey's airspace, but just circled the border.

In the rear, there are no fighter jets taking off at the Turkish air force base. Now, the fighter jets of the Turkish Air Force are old, and they do not dare to compete with German fighter jets.

The coastal defense artillery units are the most feared. The range of their coastal defense artillery cannot reach the German Navy sailing on the midline of the Aegean Sea. However, the naval guns of the German Navy's battleships can easily hit their Come to the front.

In a crude coastal defense artillery position, the Turkish officers looked at everything in the telescope in amazement. The German battleships were turning the barrels of their naval guns around, especially in the middle, on the huge Hindenburg-class battleship. , 460 mm naval gun, is so mighty and majestic.

"In this era, our German navy is the most powerful. Anyone who tries to provoke us or disobey us will pay a heavy price." At this time, on the bridge, watching the turn of their naval guns, the two in front and the back One, a total of three 460mm naval guns, turned to the broadside, this action alone is enough to satisfy people.

In later generations, the U.S. Navy would show off its might by driving an aircraft carrier in the past, but from a visual point of view, the naval guns of a battleship would never be so spectacular.

The Turks were already trembling under the deterrence of the German Navy.
