In the waters more than a hundred kilometers south of Malta Island, the main battleships of the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet are gathering here.

The flagship battleship HMS King George V was surrounded by the battleships HMS Revenge, HMS Sovereign, HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Barham. The battlecruiser Renown was at the forefront of the fleet.

Surrounding these capital ships are Royal Navy cruisers and destroyers, including two Norfolk-class heavy cruisers, five HMS Leandershire light cruisers, and fourteen Tribe-class destroyers.

At the rear of the fleet were the aircraft carriers Eagle and Glorious, protected by light cruisers and destroyers.

The USS Eagle aircraft carrier is only 26,000 tons and can carry 21 carrier-based aircraft. The Glorious aircraft carrier has a displacement of up to 28,000 tons and can carry 48 carrier-based aircraft.

At this time, two carrier-based aircraft were landing on the deck of the USS Eagle aircraft carrier

"Your Excellency, Commander, carrier-based aircraft have discovered the location of the Caesar Kingdom Navy. It's about eighty kilometers southeast of us. If we rush there now, we can expect to encounter it in three hours." said Lt. Gen. Bruce Fraser.

"Very good, there are still six hours before dark, and three hours are enough for us to defeat the Caesar Kingdom Navy! Gen. Andrew Cunningham nodded.

"Order the fleet to advance at full speed! In addition, the USS Eagle and USS Glory aircraft carriers took off carrier-based aircraft to attack the Caesar Kingdom Navy!"General Andrew Cunningham ordered

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander! Vice Admiral Bruce Fraser replied.

Then, the Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet immediately took action.

Six capital ships, two heavy cruisers, three light cruisers and ten destroyers, accelerated towards the battlefield. The aircraft carrier Eagle and The aircraft carrier Glory took off carrier-based aircraft to attack the Kingdom of Caesar's navy.

Two light cruisers and four destroyers were responsible for protecting the two aircraft carriers.

One after another Sea Fighter carrier-based fighter jets, Great Gull dive bombers and Swordfish torpedoes Attack aircraft took off one after another from the aircraft carriers.

The two aircraft carriers, in order to ensure that they could hit the Kingdom of Caesar Navy at once, deployed almost all their strength.

More than sixty carrier-based aircraft attacked the Kingdom of Caesar Navy in a mighty manner.

More than 80 kilometers away from this sea area, the Caesar Kingdom's naval fleet was accelerating its voyage north.

After encountering the reconnaissance of the Royal Navy's carrier-based aircraft, the fleet commander, Admiral Paul, looked very ugly.

"Commander, you can be sure that our position has been exposed. Perhaps the Mediterranean fleet of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets is already attacking us!"Vice Admiral Giovanni, Chief of Staff of the Fleet, looked worried.

"Damn the Anglo-Saxons, don't they. Our Veneto-class battleships aren't finished yet? Otherwise, we will definitely not be worse than them!"Admiral Paul cursed

"Your Excellency, Commander, it is too hasty to start a war at this time. But it is a pity that the Empire on which the sun never sets will not give us enough time."Lieutenant General Giovanni also looked regretful.

"Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. The mission is to preserve the strength of the navy as much as possible."Admiral Paul said.

As for defeating the Mediterranean Fleet of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, they simply do not have the confidence or possibility to do so.

"Your Excellency, Commander, with our current strength, it is obviously unrealistic to confront the Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet head-on. We must get rid of them and escape back to the country. There are two aircraft carriers in the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet. They will definitely launch carrier-based aircraft to attack us. We can ask the Air Force to take off fighter planes from Libya and the mainland to reinforce us."Lieutenant General Giovanni said.

Admiral Paul nodded repeatedly. The Caesar Kingdom Navy currently has no plans to develop aircraft carriers. As a result, they were unable to deal with the aircraft carriers of the Empire on which the sun never sets.

"Send a telegram to the Air Force immediately and ask us to take off fighter planes as soon as possible to reinforce us!"Admiral Paul ordered

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"Lieutenant General Giovanni replied

"However, Your Excellency Commander, the Third Reich’s air force base is located in the Siirt Basin. Our position is just within their combat radius. Can we request the Third Reich Air Force to reinforce us? Lieutenant General Giovanni continued.

Admiral Paul thought for a moment, then shook his head:"Forget it, the Prime Minister dislikes the Third Reich very much." We will report the actual situation, and it will be decided by the Navy Ministry whether to ask for assistance from the Third Reich Air Force! Lieutenant General Giovanni nodded, looking helpless.

After receiving the request, the Caesar Kingdom Air Force responded immediately.

More than forty MC.200 fighter jets took off from the airport on Sixili Island, preparing to provide air defense for the navy. Cover.

At the same time, more than a dozen CA.309 reconnaissance aircraft took off to find the location of the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet. At the air force's airport, dozens of SM.79 bombers and torpedo attack aircraft were also prepared. Prepare for battle. Once the location of the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet is discovered, an attack can be launched.

However, even so, the response of the Caesar Kingdom's air force is still a step slow.

At 3 p.m., the sun never sets on the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet. The carrier aircraft group discovered the Caesar Kingdom’s naval fleet and began to attack

"Woo!"

A shrill air defense siren sounded over the fleet.

All warships began to switch to air defense operations.

Cruisers and destroyers defended the battleships at the core.

Soldiers rushed to their posts to prepare for battle.

One by one, Anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns have been aimed at the sky.

In addition to the four capital ships, the Caesar Kingdom naval fleet also has four Zara-class heavy cruisers, four Giusanno-class light cruisers, and two Mongolian ships. Dekukoli-class light cruisers, two Dosta-class light cruisers and eight Tornado-class destroyers and 12 Voyager-class destroyers.

In terms of cruisers and destroyers, the strength of the Kingdom of Caesar's Navy is even greater than that of the Royal Navy of the Empire on which the sun never sets in the Mediterranean. The fleet is stronger.

But unfortunately, the gap between the two sides in terms of capital ships is too big. In addition, the Imperial Navy's Mediterranean Fleet has two aircraft carriers to assist in the battle. Therefore, the Caesar Kingdom's navy is completely at a disadvantage.

If the air force reinforcements can be made in time If they arrive in time, it may be possible to reverse the situation. But if the Air Force cannot arrive in time, their fate may be worrying._Fei
