"What do you think, Mr. Prime Minister?" Jiao Midi asked with interest playing with the card holder in his hand.
"Allied advantage is losing. At this time, it is inappropriate to invite a German navy to visit taranto …" Salandra cut his tie and bit the word "Germany" very hard.
"Stupid!"
Giomidi threw the business card holder into the tray and contemptuously interrupted the Prime Minister’s speech.
The diplomatic rhetoric was stopped by Jiao Midi. Salandra didn’t know it should be like a circus before he set up the sofa awkwardly. He couldn’t wait to leave on the spot
"Mr. Prime Minister, although people on both sides of the Atlantic are well-known, David Betty Heidi Selim is in fact a tactical commander in the Kingdom of Italy, but there is no commander with first-class tactical literacy and strategic vision beyond the times like Heidi Selim. Since the Germans think Selim is a trouble, the Kingdom of Italy is willing to accept this burden for William!"
Giomedi got up and the room was filled with the creepy smile of the Italian emperor
"The Italian navy still lacks a naval consultant with the ability to make a final decision when it dominates the Mediterranean foundation!"
The second gun Chapter 16 War for naval advisers (2)
(Baidu, castrated by a certain party, is so rubbish that it is unbearable to struggle for a night before writing such a little bit! )
On the first day of June, Italian diplomats in Berlin received instructions from Rome to continue to send invitations to Heidi Selim, and secretly contacted the Kaiser Wilhelm and the German Admiralty to seek to hire Heidi Selim, a naval consultant of the Kingdom of Italy.
Vittorio Emanuele III, king of Italian high-level political quadrupole, Emperor Giomedi of Apennine Peninsula, and now Prime Minister Salandra’s Foreign Minister Sonnino rarely take the same position, feeling that Rome is determined, diplomats are nervous, and Berlin and Kiel are dancing with long sleeves.
Italian diplomats have tried their best to keep secrets, but it turns out once again that the so-called secrets of Italians can’t be discussed. Except for panic, the Germans belong to the allies, Austria-Hungary and Ottoman Turkey, and they learned the news one after another.
Deep in the Adriatic Sea, the red and white naval flagship headquarters building of the Austro-Hungarian Empire fluttered in front of the Bora military port.
The Mediterranean Sea is scorching hot, and the workers in the Gulf repair shipyard are sweating all over to repair the leakage of the old ship, Grand Duke Dinan I. In the deep water area of the boiler harbor, three joint-power battleships and three radetzky-class quasi-fear ships are quietly berthed. The sailors in the eastern side of the harbor wear standard troops and have the strength to clean the deck. The sailors on the eastern side of the harbor are still pulling the German-style offshore submarine near the main channel of the bay by a small tugboat of less than 100 tons, while four Helgolan-class dome cruisers in the main channel are going out to sea together. They will cruise along the eastern side
"Oh, a long day!"
Another young general was Holti Miclos, commander of the fleet of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1991. At this time, he was still quite depressed. He tightened his hands and his eyes seemed to inadvertently sweep the joint-power battleship and walked out of the corridor of the commander tower of the battleship Habus.
Holti Miclos School is the captain of this second-class battleship. Although it is a rare honor for Austria-Hungary, Holti seems that this is not worthy of his pride.
The battleship Habsburg is a second-class battleship designed in the last century. It was designed by Ppper, the chief designer of the Austro-Hungarian Imperial Navy. The standard displacement was about 96 tons, and the maximum speed was 19 knots. Two 24 mm main guns were installed in front of the main gun, and then the main gun was duplicated. Twelve auxiliary guns with a diameter of 4 times and 15 mm were placed on the two wings of the ship-shaped zhōng yāng Bridge.
In fact, this second-class battleship is equipped with tonnage and firepower to compete with its rivals, Russia and France. What’s more, it has been in service for more than ten years. Not only has the old ship lost its boldness of vision, but its hull and power system are all senile, so it is included in the fourth battleship team. The battleship Habus often plays the edge corner Se.
In April, the Royal Navy gained power in the naval battle of Flores, and the Italian enemies and friends were unpredictable to replace Baron Anton von Hauser, the commander-in-chief of the Earl of Montecuccoli’s navy. In order to win a brilliant victory, he took out the lion fighting rabbit momentum, took out three joint-power battleships of the Empire, and three radetzky-class quasi-fear ships that were slightly demoralized, and also opened three old-fashioned battleships of the third battleship team, namely, Grand Duke Carl, Grand Duke Friedrich and Grand Duke Dinan I.
Miclos, Holti clearly remembers the day when the Fourth Battleship was swinging in Bora Port and three Habsburg-class battleships were still berthed. They were ordered to stand by and watch their colleague Fleur create a new history of the Austro-Hungarian navy developed from the Austrian navy.
Walking out of the corridor of zhōng yāng Bridge Building, holding the handrail of the gangway, walking along the small traffic beside the gangway of the battleship Habsburg, several sailors saluted at attention, and Miclos, Holti, raised his hand and jumped to the small boat that followed the ups and downs of the sea.
At this time, many captains and colleagues familiar with the school have greeted each other and asked the reason for the emergency call of the headquarters. At this time, a long whistle came behind them
"Yes, it is our prinz eugen!"
Facing the scorching Mediterranean sun, prinz eugen, the third ship of the joint force class, should have been commissioned at the end of 1915 and slowly entered Bora Port.
Constrained by the problem, the construction of the battleship St. istvan has been progressing slowly
The Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Royal Family and the Austrian Parliament support the development of the navy, but the Hungarian Parliament is opposed to the navy. Good Austro-Hungarian sailors have the tenacity and wisdom to deal with difficulties
The Austro-Hungarian navy was under the jurisdiction of the army in the early days, but its administrative ability was low and its professional quality was not high. However, it was precisely because the army kept close that the Austro-Hungarian navy was able to keep dú lììng, which shielded the army’s conservative and rigid thinking. The navy in the Austro-Hungarian team had a very high innovation, and at the same time, jīng God also had a relatively active battle. Stimulated by the victory of the German navy, the Austro-Hungarian navy did not hesitate to sell their possessions to raise funds to pay for the final payment of the battleship prinz eugen.
Looking back from the shipyard, the gloomy mood of prinz eugen School suddenly lit up. At the age of 14, an emperor Franz Joseph, who was born in a noble family and entered the Austro-Hungarian naval academy in Rijeka, kept friendship for a long time. He longed for military glory and looked forward to the day when the Austro-Hungarian navy was strong.
Sunshine prinz eugen slowly dropped anchor, and Holti Miclos’s eyes became softer and softer. Although the flat deck ship type of prinz eugen is not conducive to the problem of waves during high-speed ocean navigation, it is a calm Mediterranean; Compared with the battleship Mighty, the captain of 161 meters is 1000 tons more than the former, and the captain of the joint force class is only 152 meters. Moreover, the short hull is also compactly arranged with a commander tower, four triple 35 mm main guns, a foremast and a mainmast, and two chimneys, which makes the prinz eugen look a little bloated and obese, but it is not without financial constraints. Engineers have brought the potential of the hull to the extreme.
This is a good ship, but it’s not my Holti Miclos ship!
"Holti, that’s not your boat!" Kudka school patted Holti Miclos’s shoulder and said,
"I know!" Holti looked back and shrugged.
"Don’t be sad, Holti. I have a lot of gossip here to calm your mood." Kudka looked forward to trying to pretend to be calm. Holti Miclos took over an old friend’s shoulder trail. "It is said that General House intends to transfer you to the Novara light cruiser as the captain. That’s a warship that can bear your dreams!"
"That’s a reconnaissance cruiser …"
Novara is a reconnaissance cruiser, equivalent to the third-class cruiser in the British imperial navy sequence, but compared with it, there is no chance of a naval battle. The battleship Habsburg, Holti and Miclos, have reason to rejoice, but their faces are still tense.
"Is there any good news?"
"And …" Kudka School took a deep breath and dropped a bombshell that would disturb the whole Mediterranean as much as possible. "The Naval Division (which has no supreme command of the Admiralty in Austria-Hungary) plans to hire the newly resigned German Navy God of War as our naval consultant",
Heidi Selim is the one who is worth at least one main fleet in the mouth of the British Third Sea Minister David Betty. Planning and leading four naval battles and losing Heidi Selim?
For a few seconds, Holti Miclos vaguely felt that his heart stopped until Kudka School continued to show off. He heard the news from the Navy Division.
"It is said that the chop suey in the Apennine Peninsula in the west also pursues General Heidi Sillem, but they have no chance. After all, we are close allies of Germany! Haha, it is not far from when we Austrian dominate the Mediterranean! "
"Maybe … add Croats, Italians and Czechoslovakians!" Holti Miclos added from the bottom of my heart.
(Gorgeous dividing line)
Istanbul, the capital of Turkey
It took more than half an hour for the convertible from Golden Horn Bay to shuttle through the narrow roads in the old city of Istanbul to reach the high gate of zhèng fǔ incarnation in the Ottoman Empire.
Soloqin, commander-in-chief of the Turkish navy and captain of the Yavos war patrol, will take a military vehicle and wear a Turkish-style navy felt hat. Looking up at the magnificent halls, he gently sighed and led Gunther Gunther Lutjens to follow the footsteps of the adjutant Ensel, the three giants of Turkey, to the Ensel room.
"It was the winter of 1913. I invited Heidi Selim to my office and took out a copy. The young man, the first deputy minister of the Turkish Navy, refused. He said that he was tired. Twenty years in German service and ten years in two navies were enough."
Ensel threw the desk file aside and pointed to the chair opposite the desk, where Soloqin and Gunther Lutjens sat, and dug out a copy from the filing cabinet with mottled signs and recalled the past with a faint smile.
"I had great respect for Selim, and I let go. Later, Selim was a naval academy before the war broke out. Later, Selim led the ocean fleet to defeat the royal navy again and again to achieve the great reputation of the German navy. Only then did I realize that the Ottoman Empire and I missed a genius who could regain the dream of the Turks’ great navy because of the battleships Osman I and Risatieh in Sudan."
What do you mean, "Dear Damad?" Soloqin will hesitate for three to five seconds before opening his mouth.
"I heard that Selim is at home after his resignation, and Turkey must not miss this genius again!" Ensel looked up and suddenly raised his voice a few times to adjust the Se. "Italians and Ollie are recruiting West Lyme. I hope you can help us with the Turkish position …"
(Gorgeous dividing line)
"Did the Turks join in?"
After the destruction of the enemy fleet, Spain has been thin and thin, and the Spanish-American War has interrupted the last backbone of the empire. Now the people’s livelihood in Spain is depressed and the financial difficulties are constant.
Alfonso XIII tore open the curtain and looked at the rain in Madrid, feeling calm and unable to suppress sā moving light way
"Then we also send an invitation to Berlin …"
"King, we have just sold three Spanish-class battleships to the Allies …" Former Spanish Prime Minister Alvaro figueroa, who graduated from Madrid zhōng yāng University in law but never engaged in legal career, woke up with a limp leg.
Alvaro figueroa, Spain’s current Prime Minister, Datuk Eduardo, is somewhat ambiguous, and the king’s decision to doubt will bring some unpredictable risks to the political balance in Spain.
"figueroa, I’m tired of Datuk because I don’t expect war. I need a new balance." King Alfonso XIII leaned against the windowsill and looked sleepy, but his muddy eyes shone with wisdom. "Do you know that Datuk figueroa’s German navy reached some agreements so that they could bite the British Mediterranean aid fleet and win the Portsmouth naval battle!"
The second gun chapter 16 for naval consultant war (3)
(The plot in the slack period is a little delayed. Let’s end this chapter and then a few chapters. Let’s try to return to Germany with Victory and see if we can finish the World War II in about one million words …)
At the end of May and the beginning of June, the European war guns rumbled and the war raged.
On the Eastern Front, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, led by Hindenburg and ludendorff, triumphed in the Polish direction. The western front battlefield was stimulated by the battle of Avalon, a prominent part of the British and French allied forces. Falcken Heinze, chief of staff of the German Army, planned the second ypres campaign aimed at mobilizing Britain and France to hoard heavy troops in northern France and find a way to cross the river to open a new stronghold in Paris. A small number of German army and Austria-Hungary main forces in the Balkans led a bunch of younger brothers such as Bulgaria and Mendgoro, and the British and French colonial army leaders plus Serbia and Albania, and so on. The attack of the Ottoman army in the North Caucasus has not diminished, attracting more and more Russian grey Se cattle to reinforce from the hinterland of the Far East and Central Asia.
The sea is not calm either. The naval battle in the Falkland Islands covered the retreat of the Far East Fleet. A 6-inch armor-piercing bullet hit the stern compartment of the large armored ship Gennesenau, which lacked the industrial German West to illegally repair this loophole. However, the large armored ship Gennesenau dragged a piece of basswood from the port and processed it into a large cork to plug the bullet hole. Since March, the Far East Fleet has started a new hunting journey at the German West Africa base, and the Royal Navy has deployed a 10,000-ton first-class cruiser (armored cruiser) in the South Pacific.
Italy in the Mediterranean is no less afraid of the Austro-Hungarian navy with four joint-power ships than the allies. However, judging from the naval battle of Basil, which is the century shame of the royal navy, it seems that the Austro-Hungarian navy has reached some kind of agreement with the Italians. In May, the Austro-Hungarian navy has carried out many combat cruises in the Adriatic Sea.
At the forefront of the fiercest sea confrontation, the Royal Navy of the North Sea ushered in David Betty, who was full of fierce courage.
It is somewhat strange for Betty to return to Britain with jubilation and arrogance. According to the national newspaper, David Betty managed to pick up some petty advantages. According to the British idea of fighting for consumption, the Dogel sandbar naval battle was slightly better. In the Ritland naval battle, the British Empire sank a German battle cruiser, an old battleship and three light cruisers and earned a fig leaf. However, this achievement was more "not bad" than the royal navy’s prestigious reputation.
In this regard, the allied newspapers blamed the excitement of Britain on Jackson’s previous perversion, while the allied people associated it with the proverb "the best in the short"
The Allies can’t agree on the news of Betty’s return, but it is also an indisputable fact that the Royal Navy has changed its morale and morale. The main fleet of the big fleet has resumed routine North Sea combat cruise training. British light surface ships patrol the east coast and British submarines infiltrate into Helgolan Bay.
On the other hand, Germany brought down the leader of the navy J and jīng God.
Although Germany was the victorious party in the naval battles of Ri Deland and Portsmouth, the news of Heidi Selim’s resignation and the tug-of-war of the naval high-level anti-Selim political alliance still had a great impact on the ocean fleet. The training and preparation work of the Admiralty and the Fleet Command were quite disordered in the past two months, and the control of the North Sea began to decline.
Of course, the Ocean Fleet has never been a single person. hippel is the planet Heidi Selim, but also the first-class tactical commander, the one-armed general Wolfgang Wei Gena and the linguist erich Lei Deer. The foundation laid by Heidi Selim is bound to keep the Ocean Fleet strong for a long time.
Unity is strength. The big fleet has lost Heidi Sillem, but the strength of the ocean fleet is still on the verge of battle. The place of wrestling is naturally Newcastle Armstrong Shipyard, and the object is naturally the famous auspicious ship, the battleship Canada.
It can be said that after a year of mobilization and potential tapping, new allies have joined the former allies and allies, and tens of millions of troops have fought thousands of battlefields and thousands of warships. Stories will happen in almost every part of the world.
Rao, the news of Heidi Selim is still the eternal theme in late May and early June, "Invite General Heidi Selim to visit the military port". After the Mediterranean powers churned out a trend of the times, there was no feather. When the Lisa naval warfare ended in the Mediterranean chaos, Selim finally became the object that the world had to worship.
