"Do you know Colonel Fang Minghao?" Sophie saw that the carriage was temporarily silent, so she asked the official.
"Fang Minghao?" The major was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to understand, "You are talking about Colonel Fang of the Navy. I know him, but I have never seen him. He seemed to have gone to Rome. Do you know him?"
"Yes, he's a very easy-going person," Sophie said.
"Why are there so many Chinese-Americans in Italy?" Magrioni said: "Isn't our leader trying to fight the British?"
"We were just invited to help Italy reorganize its national defense. As for dealing with the British, it seems that you can't help much." The major said with some angrily: "In our opinion, the Italian army is really poor, even the United Kingdom.
The human colonial army is also better than you in terms of equipment. This is why the Italian army struggled to fight in Abyssia."
"Yes, we have a big gap in this regard." The Italian colonel said sincerely.
“No matter how poor the equipment is, it cannot stop some people’s ambitions, and many people cannot see this.” Magrioni said: “Our leaders rarely pay attention to his subordinates.”
"Okay, it's time for dinner, let's go to the restaurant together." The captain stood up and the conversation ended there.
Fang Minghao went to Taranto, and the defense of the main Italian fleet base was really a problem.
The Port of Taranto is located at the heel of the boot-shaped peninsula in Italy, the inner end of the Bay of Taranto. It is the main base of the Italian fleet and has all the facilities necessary to support a variety of ships. The Port of Taranto includes the inner port and
The outer port. The inner port is called a small port and is completely surrounded by land. To enter the inner port, you must pass through a narrow waterway called the canal. The outer port is larger and is called a big port, surrounded by an underwater breakwater. This breakwater is from
Cape Londinirah stretches southwest to Saint-Pietro Island, and from here it continues to Saint-Paul Island. Saint-Paul Island is located at the northern end of the entrance of the outer port, 1187 meters wide. To the south, it is called Saint-Vito
The breakwater of the embankment, which starts from a location 1,206 meters northeast of Cape San Vito, extends to the northeast for 1,609 meters.
Fang Minghao and Italian Navy Chief of Staff General Kavniari visited the defense of the Port of Taranto together.
General Arturo Ricadi, the commander of the Taranto Port Defense, has been complaining to the Navy to the general that the port’s defense measures have great hidden dangers. Some senior officers of the fleet tried their best to block the placement of underwater torpedo nets, because of these lightning protections.
The net will hinder the action of the fleet. On the other hand, the anti-aircraft artillery troops defending the port are outdated and cannot assume the heavy responsibility of air defense.
"How did your naval port be made?" General Kavniali asked Fang Minghao.
"We generally set up two obstacles, one submersible network and one lightning protection network. Important naval bases will even set up three to five underwater protection networks. The threat to surface ships by torpedoes is even greater than that of bombs." Fang Minghao
He said, "The other is the air defense force. We are all under the command of the Port Fortress Command, so that their reactions will be faster and reduce unnecessary intermediate links."
The air defense forces in Port Taranto belong to the army. If there is an emergency, General Rikadi must first issue an order to the Army Air Defense Command, and then the air defense commander will issue tasks to each unit. These links are prone to problems.
"Do it according to the Chinese method!" General Kavniali said, "As for the air defense forces, we need to communicate with the Prime Minister."
"It is best to conduct several air defense exercises so that more problems can be discovered." Fang Minghao said.
"I will report these to Marshal Kamponi, but I will definitely wait until the navy's aircraft is equipped. The masters in the air force will definitely not agree to our request." Admiral Kafniari continued, in the Republic
After the navy successfully attacked Sasebo's military port, the navies of various countries were actually strengthening their air defense forces.
As the defense of Port Taranto was to be adjusted, General Kavniali proposed to equip him with an assistant. This was very sudden. Fang Minghao agreed before he could react. Seeing the standing of the person in front of him
An Italian lady, Fang Minghao suddenly felt regretful.
She is very beautiful, slender and has a very good figure, about twenty-five or six years old, and has neatly cared for her black hair. She looks very quiet when she stands in front of Fang Minghao, and it is obvious that she has received good training.
"General, Anchira Kashveti reports to you!" The female lieutenant stood in front of him.
"Anchira Ka..." Fang Minghao was a little at a loss.
"Kashviti, just call me Anchi." Anchira said.
"This...is a bit inappropriate!" Fang Minghao said, turning his head to look at General Kavniali.
"What's wrong with this? Miss Anchira will be responsible for taking care of your life in the future. Please do not refuse, as this will embarrass us." General Kavniari said maliciously, "You won't look down on me."
We Italian girls?"
It is very rude to refuse in person, but Fang Minghao is sure that the lady has been trained and staying with her is also a hidden danger. This cannot be said explicitly, so he had to call his assistant over, "Captain Yu Keyuan, An Qi in the future
Miss La will work with us, please take her to your office and arrange a seat.”
"Yes, Miss, please come with me!" Captain Yu took Anqira away from the office. There are now five people in Fang Minghao's subordinates' office, so it doesn't matter if there is one more arrangement.
"This is what Minister Ziano means. The Foreign Minister is very concerned about you and asks us to take good care of your life!" General Kavniari said.
"Are you talking about Sino-Italy friendship?" Fang Minghao also smiled wickedly.
The general was stunned, then understood what it meant and burst into laughter.
“We will support Italians to become leaders of Latin-speaking countries, and our interests are consistent in fighting the hegemony of the English-speaking countries,” Fang Minghao said. “Every country has its own scope of interests, and English-speaking people are the ones who speak English.
But we want to control the world, and in this respect, we have similar views to your leaders.”
"This requires us to be more closely connected, and controlling the Suez Canal is the key." The Admiral lit a cigar. "Our navy is not able to fight against the British, and it requires the help of you and the Germans.
”
"It's not a concern for the British, but the scary thing is that the country far from the center of the world is now trapped in the presidential election. We can be sure that if the polio patient wins the election, he will soon put that one
The country is involved in the war." Fang Minghao said, "If we cannot unite, the Italians will be trapped in the Apennine Peninsula and will lose all overseas colonies."
"What would Hitler think?" said Admiral Kavniali. "His ambition is really great."
"What can he think? It's just to establish a great German-Ukrainian Federation. Can his hand really reach North Africa? There is no place here to accommodate the Germans." Fang Minghao said, "So we think you
The leaders had some deviations in their views on France. If they could join forces with the French, they could squeeze the British out of North Africa."
