Bismarck

Legs? Bismarck's legs were perfect!

Facial features? Is there anyone more beautiful than her in all of Germany?

She is not bragging, except for Led Zeppelin, who else can compare with her?

Besides, she is the flagship of the Mediterranean Fleet and a killer of elementary school students. She is not afraid at all!

Girl, I can only say that you have chosen the wrong person...

After making up his mind, Bismarck held his head high and walked over proudly with a cat-like gait. In front of everyone's eyes, he put his arm around Lütjens' arm and linked his arm with his.

Under the light, Bismarck's skin shone with a pearly luster, so delicate that countless people wanted to have a kiss. In the jealous eyes of ordinary men, the Italian girl had already lost.

"I'm sorry, Lütjens is mine, little sister, you've got the wrong man~ But you can try looking for other men~" Bismarck opened her red lips and smiled gently, but her words were not open to negotiation at all.

You dare to take my man?

380 big root will teach you a lesson in a minute! Make you unable to get out of bed!

Bismarck originally thought there would be a battle scene, and he had worked out several corresponding plans in his mind when calculating the trajectory, but he didn't expect that...

The little girl's eyes immediately turned red, and she covered her mouth and ran away...

Nani.

This is different from her script routine!

Where is the promised clash of thunder, lightning and fire?

but···

"So General Lütjens already has a dance partner. Let's get started," the garrison commander said with a smile.

Eh? What's going on?

She doesn't know anything?

It seems like I have been cheated.

"Bismarck, then I'll have to trouble you to dance with me." Lütjens said with a smile.

The problem was gone, but she found herself as if she had jumped into a fire pit - she was unskilled!

"I'm not very good at it yet... Captain"

"It's okay, just a little bit is enough. Let's start. I'll lead you."

"You said it... I'm not responsible."

Lütjens gently led Bismarck into the dance floor.

Then, his feet were swollen all night...

Well, it’s 50,000 tons after all.

"Wow, sister is so handsome." Although Ti Zi didn't understand, he still thought she was amazing.

"But Sister Zeppelin, why didn't you tell me that we were going to dance?" Grape tilted his head and ate the vanilla ice cream, which was much more delicious than the one on the boat.

"I thought your sister would." Zeppelin smiled innocently.

"It's Grapes, your Lindemann is dancing with another girl, is that okay?"

"Why would it matter?" Tizi said there was no need to worry. "If he doesn't come back to the boat at night, I will never let him come back and I will go out to sea by myself."

I didn't expect you to be this kind of Tirpitz...

Shocked by Tizi's domineering words, Zeppelin had to use red wine to hide his embarrassment.

Good luck, Lindemann.

After Churchill announced the next topic - discussing the situation in the Balkans, General Ismail, the chief of the British Armed Forces, stood up, opened a thick folder, pulled out a stack of reports and a large map, spread the map on the table, and placed a chess game representing the symbols of the British and Axis forces. When the situation was almost laid out, Ismail took out a pointer and began to explain the situation to the others in the meeting room:

"Let me explain to you the current situation in the Greek theater..."

"Since the 6th of this month, the th Army of the German Army under Field Marshal List and the nd Army under the command of General Weichs, as well as a tank group, have simultaneously launched an attack on our ally Greece and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, which recently supported our country after the pro-Chinese forces launched a coup... The main forces of Yugoslavia and Greece are fighting the Italian army and are unable to resist the German invasion. The expeditionary force sent by our army - a total of one tank brigade, two infantry divisions and nine Royal Air Force squadrons, is also unable to resist the German offensive due to insufficient manpower..."

"...Yugoslavia surrendered on the 15th, and Greece surrendered on the 23rd...The only place left in the Balkans is Crete. At present, in addition to the 25000 troops withdrawn from the Balkan Peninsula, the island's forces include 9000 Greek defenders who are unwilling to surrender to the Germans, and a division of our army that assists in the defense of Crete with 14000 people...Although the number of troops is as high as nearly 14000, except for the 5000 troops of our army's assisting division, the rest of the troops withdrawn from the Balkans are extremely short of equipment, and all heavy weapons have been lost. There are even 10000 people who lack even rifles...The Allied Commander of Crete, General Bernard Freyberg of the Royal New Zealand Army, has requested that either sufficient weapons and supplies be transported, or the soldiers who lack equipment be withdrawn first..."

"...According to reliable intelligence, Hitler has instructed his military staff to formulate a plan to attack Crete. We have also predicted his possible attack methods...Based on Crete's geographical location and our naval advantage, our original judgment was that Hitler's plan might be based on airborne raids - especially the three airports in Marama, Rethimnon, and Heraklion, to transport supplies for his airborne troops..."

Ismail pointed the pointer in his hand to the locations of three airports on the map - the Marama Airport at the eastern end of the island, close to Chania, the capital of Crete, where fighter jets are stationed; the Heraklion Airport at the western end of the island, which can accommodate fighter jets and large bombers; and the Rethymnon Airport in the central part of the island, which is still under construction and cannot be stationed with air force, but is large enough to provide a landing field for airborne operations.

"But... now the German Atlantic Fleet has come in and has been renamed the Mediterranean Fleet... plus the Italian Littorio and Andrea Doria, as well as the German Air Force..." General Ismail smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "Although it is a major good news strategically, Crete is really in danger..."

"We have very little air force and logistical supplies on Crete, and we are unable to provide sufficient air deterrence. The Mediterranean Fleet does have three Queen-class battleships, three Glorious-class aircraft carriers, and 180 carrier-based aircraft, but..."

General Ismail didn't finish his words, but everyone knew what he was going to say...

To be honest, the British are really scared.

So far, including the warships lost in the shipyard, the navy has lost eight battleships, five fleet aircraft carriers, twenty-one cruisers and eighty-six destroyers. But... six of them, three fleet aircraft carriers, fifteen cruisers and forty-one destroyers, were sunk by a single formation of Lütjens!

Now even Gibraltar has been penetrated...

Not to mention that among the British people, the name of Lutjens has become a special medicine for treating children's night crying, and not to mention that some people in the Royal Navy have privately called the three sisters of the German Mediterranean Fleet's cat house Zeppelin as evil spirit-class battleships and evil spirit-class aircraft carriers. Now even the British government has begun to invite people from the church to consecrate their warships and perform rituals at the same time...

Let's just talk about Zeppelin. From the previous performances, whether it was the Battle of Newcastle or the Battle of the Mid-Atlantic, the Zeppelin aircraft carrier was able to tie with the two British aircraft carriers at least twice - the Battle of the Mid-Atlantic was even overwhelming! Even in the Battle of Newcastle, even though the three British aircraft carriers were not fully staffed in the Battle of Newcastle, they took the initiative and attacked with all their strength. Three ships besieged the Zeppelin ship, which did gain a certain advantage, but not an absolute advantage...

Wasn't the Ark Royal sunk by Zeppelin's counterattack?

Moreover, due to the "demonstration effect" of the Zeppelin, the current German Air Force is no longer as careless and nonchalant about anti-ship operations as it was in history or even a year ago... At least the German Air Force's Tenth Air Force stationed in Italy, the old rival of the British Mediterranean Fleet - they have been living in the Mediterranean for a long time, and they have become more and more skilled in anti-ship attacks...

Although the British air force has collectively replaced the American F4F European Goose (Wildcat) fighter, in the face of the German Air Force's BF109 and even the Italian Air Force's MC202, the European Goose has a better endurance than the MC202, but it has lost its advantage in continuous flight speed over the BF109 (which was modified by Dr. Messerschmitt after the lessons of Zeppelin's brain hole and the Battle of Britain)... The Navy has repeatedly asked the Air Force to "hand over the Spitfire", but the Air Force has always been procrastinating...

General Ismail glanced helplessly at the military seat below. The Sea Lord was staring at the Air Force Fighter Commander, Marshal Dowding...

Besides, what needs to be reported should still be reported...

"Although the Navy's Home Fleet has eight battleships, six of them are old battleships with a speed of less than 23 knots. They cannot be moved to blockade the Scharnhorst-class of the German Home Fleet... As for aircraft carriers, although the Ranger aircraft carrier has a large number of aircraft and an acceptable speed of 29.5 knots, its defense is too weak. It can almost be said that it can be sunk by a bomb... Cruisers and destroyers also suffered heavy losses, especially the huge losses of six cruisers and thirteen destroyers sunk in Gibraltar, which occupied almost all of our light battleship reserve forces... So at present, in addition to trying to strengthen the three Glorious-class carrier-based fighters, we are no longer able to send reinforcements to the Mediterranean..."

Ignoring the staring eyes of the navy and air force, General Ismail continued to report: "According to the deduction and judgment of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, we suggest that our nearly 50,000 troops on Crete be withdrawn as soon as possible. This place is too close to them, and they have an absolute air force advantage..."

"Absolutely not!" Before General Ismail could finish, Churchill waved his hand and interrupted the topic. "Crete cannot be lost! If they occupy this place, they can threaten the shipping line from Egypt to Malta, and also threaten our war situation in North Africa. Even their long-range bombers can bomb Egypt and Syria! If we occupy this place, we can threaten the Romanian oil fields from the flank!! And this is also a political obligation that our country must have to the Greek people who are still resisting!... In short, this place must not be lost!"

"Admiral! When you and Ishmael go back, make a plan and tell Wevil and Cunningham that the defense of Crete must be guaranteed no matter what! Especially the heavy weapons and logistics, which must be in place as soon as possible! - If you can't get the equipment, take it from the troops in Egypt and the Middle East and send it to me!" At this point, Churchill slammed the table and stood up, pointing at Ishmael and the Admiral's faces and shouting: "...Except for the troops in North Africa who must stabilize the situation and cannot move, even if all the troops in the entire Middle East theater go out naked on the streets, you must guarantee the supply of Crete for me! Do you understand?!"

"Yes!" Facing Churchill's stern face, Ismail and the Secretary of the Admiralty looked at each other and had to accept this difficult task.

The day after the welcome dinner, Lütjens received a telegram from Berlin asking Lütjens, Lindemann and Zeppelin to return to Berlin together.

Professor Wolf and his team have boarded the train back home, carrying with them the Zeppelin magnetrons that were made entirely by hand.

Due to his contribution in releasing optical and electronic jammers in the Strait of Gibraltar and clearing mines, Lindemann was promoted to major general and returned to Berlin to attend the promotion ceremony. In addition, the Mediterranean Fleet needed to report on the Gibraltar assault and receive new combat missions, which also involved cooperation between the navy and the air force...

Of course, on Lindemann's arm, there is a pink hamster that keeps complaining about troubles...

ps: Please give me a reward! Please~~~ I have to eat dirt this month

Chapter 398: Get promoted and get rich, and get the red envelope

At the cocktail party last night, Zeppelin did not interact with anyone else. Instead, he kept chatting with the middle-aged man Wolfe, but the content of the conversation was limited to radio. This also directly led to Professor Wolfe being envied and hated by many people. If the eye knife had an effect, he would probably have been torn into pieces directly...

"Why do we have to go back to Berlin? I don't want to go back! I want to be with my sister!"

In front of the plane, Tirpitz held Bismarck's hand and refused to let go, and kept yelling and refusing to leave.

"You want to be with me?" Bismarck snorted coldly and pulled the octopus-like Tirpitz down.

"You are reluctant to give up your delicious food." Bismarck immediately exposed her "conspiracy."

Tirpitz did not blush or feel nervous, and it seemed that he was already an old hand at lying.

"No, sister, we just arrived in Italy yesterday, how can we leave so early!"

Seeing that her sister ignored her wailing, she looked at Lindemann pitifully.

"Lindeman, I promise to stay on the boat and not run around. Can I not go back?"

Acting cute and coquettishly, Tirpitz even promised himself to study hard and make progress every day, under the supervision of his two older sisters!

However, this time Lindemann will not let her go. Just kidding, if she stayed in Italy, wouldn’t he be very bored?

And the most important point is that her two sisters are also going to Berlin, who will take care of her?

"I'm doing this for your own good...If I don't take you back, you'll be so lazy that you'll starve to death!" Lindman said righteously.

"And I have some bad news for you. Zeppelin and I are going back to Berlin, so don't struggle and just get in the car!"

Bismarck successfully added another blow.

The three of them rolled their eyes in disdain at the silly and cute grape that was sighing and acting coquettish.

“Wuwuwu…you guys, you guys!”

Zeppelin was also about to board a plane to Berlin. She needed to study the remaining things with Professor Wolff, which was why she brought Tirpitz along.

Bonte was left alone in Italy, and he became a lonely man. But there was no other way. The stationing and coordination of the Atlantic Fleet in Italy had to be handled by a general, and Bonte's relationship with Goering was not as close as Zeppelin's, so he had to stay. He was the famous ghost instructor of the GR186 Wing, with a personal record of aircraft kills. In less than a year after the formation of the wing, the total record was , and two aircraft carriers were sunk. This record can be said to be a great military achievement.

Bangtai actually came to see them off to the plane.

only···

"I say you guys please pay attention to the impact, okay?" Bontai said helplessly, watching the flagship of the Mediterranean Fleet hugging the commander's arm and saying these words intimately, and another battleship grabbing the sleeve of its colleague Lindemann and acting coquettishly, even he, the most upright captain of the fleet, couldn't stand it.

Is this what the steel monster on the sea looks like?

"This is a military airport after all." Bangtai held his forehead, expressing his tiredness. On the other side, many pilots and ground crew were watching from afar...

"Bontai, are you envious too? It's not my fault that you can't do this~" Bismarck smiled as he looked at an aircraft carrier standing nearby.

Zeppelin adjusted his military cap and rolled his eyes to indicate that he didn't know these people.

Bangtai coughed awkwardly. That was not what he meant. He already had someone.

"Don't think of me with your dirty thoughts." Zeppelin rolled his eyes at her.

"Hey, is the Ice Queen angry?" Bismarck teased.

"I'm not looking for a man, but you, you always look so lustful every day..." Zeppelin was talking to Bismarck in a voice that no one else could hear.

Bismarck said that he was proud of the people around him, and if you don’t agree, hit him here!

"To be honest, since Bangtai already has a wife, there's no hope for you. There are so many handsome guys in your flight team, why don't you find one? Oh, I can introduce you to one."

"Go away, you are so idle."

---------

The plane arrived in Berlin safely soon.

In addition to some technical matters, there are naturally some more important things for the two captains and the commander this time.

For example, getting a promotion always makes people happy.

Hitler personally ordered commendations to Lindemann and Lütjens for their outstanding performance in all the battles.

Bismarck and Tirpitz watched their investiture ceremony in the audience. When the ceremony was over, the two girls immediately surrounded them, especially Tirpitz, who looked very excited.

"Oh, not bad, the epaulettes have changed from silver to gold! General Lin, De, Man, please treat us!"

Outside the hall of the award ceremony, Lindemann had just walked out with his new military rank when he was pounced on by a Tirpitz that fell from the sky. Bismarck and Zeppelin circled around Lindemann, who had changed his military rank insignia, several times, joking as they did so.

"you two..."

Lindemann was angry. This happened in public... so many people were watching!

"Help me take off the Tirpitz first! The 50,000-ton Tirpitz is very heavy... It hurts!" Lindemann was still complaining, but he said the wrong thing, and Tirpitz, who heard that he was disgusted with his fatness, bit his hand...

Bismarck noticed that someone seemed to be missing, so he turned his head left and right and asked, "By the way, where's the captain?"

"Your captain is still in there," Zeppelin joked.

"The commander has also been promoted and is now being awarded the rank of general." Lindemann said with excitement.

After all, he was promoted to general. Even in wartime, being a general is not easy. However, Lindemann had enough experience and had made outstanding performances in several naval battles, especially the incident in Gibraltar, which directly blinded the eyes of a number of British officers and soldiers. In addition, the mustache wanted to win people's hearts, so he waved his hand and approved a promotion of two levels, skipping from colonel to brigadier general, and directly changing to gold-rimmed epaulettes and general "sleeves"...
