"Gui'an, Commander. I am Vittorio Veneto, the flagship of the Italian Navy. Although this question may be offensive, are you confident that you can defeat me?" Wearing a bright red military uniform,
Behind him, a green-faced and red-bottomed cloak fluttered like a military flag in the sea breeze. Leo Veneto pressed his command knife and performed a chest-stroking salute to Chen Mo, then asked him unceremoniously.
"It is not confidence that controls power, but strength. Look forward to it Veneto, just as I look forward to your performance." Chen Mo did not give a direct answer to Veneto's question, but just smiled at her.
, then turned her gaze to Rome beside her.
Unlike Veneto and Littorio, who have slightly stronger personalities and looks, Roma looks more like an introverted and shy child, standing timidly behind his sister, seemingly a little shy.
"Gui...Gui'an, Commander. I am Veneto-class No. 3 ship Roma..." Roma greeted Chen Mo shyly, raised his head carefully and glanced at Chen Mo, then immediately lowered his head, shyly
It doesn't look like she was a powerful battleship just now.
Veneto seemed to have noticed his sister's timidity. He took a step forward and stood in front of his sister, protecting Roma behind him before saying: "I'm sorry, Commander, Roma seems to be too timid, but please
Don’t worry, she is as worthy of your expectation as I am.”
However, while protecting his sister, Veneto once again raised his chest and raised his head in front of Chen Mo, and said to him with great momentum: "The flagship of the Italian Navy, the Veneto-class Vittorio Veneto and Rome
, under your command from now on, Commander, we will win victory and glory for you, please look forward to our performance!"
After saying that, Veneto saluted Chen Mo again, but this time her hand on her chest was clenched into a fist.
Behind her, although Roma was still timid and shy, she also straightened her body and saluted Chen Mo like her sister.
Facing the salutes of Veneto and Roma, Chen Mochong nodded slightly and responded to Veneto and Roma with a serious attitude: "Welcome to your arrival, I will look forward to your performance."
After Chen Mo finished speaking, Littorio, who had been waiting for a long time, walked up and greeted his sisters: "Welcome, my sisters! This time we can fight side by side."
"Sister Littorio..." Although Roma was still greeting Littorio shyly, the expression on her face was full of joy.
Veneto, on the other hand, looked at Littorio unconvinced and emphasized to her: "I am the sister! Littorio-sister!"
This is actually a long story. When Italy was designing and manufacturing the Veneto class, Littorio and Veneto started construction almost at the same time, and completed and put it into service almost at the same time. This also led to the traditional
The first ship nomenclature is somewhat unworkable on the Veneto class.
This class of battleships can be called either the Veneto class or the Littorio class. Because of this, there is a so-called sisterly rivalry between Veneto and Littorio.
However, although the two seemed to be arguing over this issue, Chen Mo could still tell that the relationship between the two was very good.
So he ignored Littorio and Veneto who were still messing around, but turned to Cunningham who was asking the photographer if he had taken the scene just now, and asked him: "Recently in Europe
How is the battle going?"
Although Ada Wang, who is in charge of intelligence work, sent a large number of intelligence personnel to Europe a long time ago, Egypt also has a very comprehensive and detailed grasp of European intelligence.
But the main means of communication in this era is still telegraph. It is completely different from the future network information era, where even what happens on the other side of the earth can be spread throughout the entire earth within half an hour.
Even if those excellent intelligence personnel can collect intelligence information in a timely and accurate manner, there will inevitably be a lot of delays when relying on various means such as telegrams to transmit the information to Ada Wang, and then she will summarize it and submit it to Chen Mo.
time.
However, in this era, everyone used this method to transmit information. Chen Mo didn't think there was any big problem. He just asked an ancient tomb technician to help improve Egypt's communication level when he had time, and did not interfere too much.
thing.
Moreover, regarding the understanding of the European battlefield, it is obvious that the British's own information will be more accurate. There are some front-line battle reports and high-level military intelligence that espionage personnel cannot easily access. However, in turn, Chen Mo directly acted as an ally.
You can easily get this information by asking the British.
The British obviously had no intention of hiding anything from Chen Mo. Cunningham introduced Chen Mo directly: "According to the war reports I have received from the country, the current situation is relatively stable. Although France is seriously war-weary in the country,
However, the French government still organized about twenty divisions in southern France and put them into the battlefield.
In addition, about thirty divisions of troops will be transferred from various French colonies to the French mainland. However, considering the distance, we may not be able to count on these thirty divisions in a short time.
But the good news is that Downing Street has already mobilized and sent 20 divisions of reinforcements from my country to France. At present, our army has stabilized the defense line and is consolidating the frontline defense."
Hearing what Cunningham said, Chen Mo couldn't help but nodded slightly.
If the situation is really as he said, it can indeed be said that the current situation is relatively stable and the war situation has entered a stalemate stage.
As long as the Germans do not have the means to open up the situation, as Britain and France exert their efforts to recruit servant armies and colonial armies from their vast colonies into the European battlefield, the German war potential will be quickly exhausted.
At that time, it will be time to enter a strategic counterattack.
However, it is also possible that, as in the original history, the Americans entered the war and did not want to end the war quickly.
The war is going on now, but what is different from history is that the Americans and the Soviets have not yet joined the war.
The United States has not yet been attacked by Japan on Pearl Harbor. After all, the sinking of the Nagato had a great impact on Japan. Although the lost ships were replenished with donations from elementary school students, a series of plans of the Japanese Navy were disrupted.
Yes, they have to reschedule.
On the European side, it was because Germany failed to end the Battle of France quickly, and the main force of the German army was trapped in France, resulting in them being unable to mobilize their troops to launch an attack on the Soviet Union.
However, just when Chen Mo was thankful for this, a British officer suddenly ran over from a distance, came to Cunningham panting, and handed him a document.
Cunningham opened it and took a look, and his expression suddenly changed. He raised his head suddenly and said to Chen Mo: "Wei Gang's defense line has been breached, and France has surrendered."
