The British's actions were soon launched. On the third day after the meeting, Lieutenant General Trenchard set out to carry a FB27 bomber to Greece through continuous transitions. Then, the bomber squadrons that transferred from the British and French began to gather in small and multi-wave directions towards the target area. Due to the expansion of the scale of the operation, the airports originally used to park two squadrons of bombers were obviously not enough. Therefore, while setting up a temporary airport, the British Navy Engineering Forces who came from North Africa also began to rebuild some other airports.&1t;/p>

Of course, it is different from those airports in later generations. The airports are very simple now. The take-off and running distance of aircraft in the first round is not very long, so the runway saves a lot. As for the apron? Just make a flat piece of this thing, just get a piece of airline, bombs and torpedoes transported by ship. Except for the precision equipment such as torpedo and put in a factory, other things are just ready to fireproof. Just make do with it first. It's not permanent anyway, and the climate in the Mediterranean is quite friendly&1t;/p>

As for the aircraft hangar? Please, let's forget it if this operation is so hasty. Anyway, it will be taken soon. Maybe the mission will not be used even after it is completed, so this will be saved. Moreover, judging from the recent weather forecast, it seems that there is no rain... Of course, even if there is rain, there is no way. Just put some oil cloth on it. Although it is made of wood, it is not that unsolid...&1t;/p>

Before the bomber teams began to operate, the British's aviation reconnaissance and the spy network hidden in the Balkans also began to operate at a high speed. Under the loopholes of the Turks like fishing nets, a steady stream of intelligence gathered through various channels. After analyzing a lot of intelligence, the British had a rough understanding of the situation of the Mediterranean Fleet in the entire Allied Powers.&1t;/p>

Thanks to Turkey's poor shipbuilding industry foundation and scarce supplies, the situation of each ship to which Earl Spee was not good. I won't talk about the two fast battleships that came from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After fighting hard, the power system and artillery suffered heavy losses. The damaged boiler had not been repaired yet, and the broken artillery was replaced with 2, which increased the number of available artillery of the battleship to 6. The damage under the waterline was also repaired, and the damage of the entire superstructure was also repaired by 70%, but the warship's flight was still only about 14 knots. (Because some boilers and pipes that needed to be replaced were removed, the flight was lower) and it was considered unsuitable for participating in the war.&1t;/p>

Although the other Saint-Istvan is in good condition, the water bomb that hit No. 2 ammunition depot still leaves it with considerable scars, so it is difficult to completely repair it in a short period of time with Turkey's technical level. Although the shell did not blow up the last layer of steel plate outside the ammunition depot on the spot, the deformed steel plate obviously needs to be replaced. The damaged private server also needs to be replaced. In short, although the situation is much better than the joint force, it is also not suitable for combat.&1t;/p>

In addition, the four fast battleships originally belonged to Earl Spee were much better, almost all of them could be used, and the flight was at least 24 knots, and almost all of the warships had been replaced with consumables such as boiler water pipes. Although the situation could not be compared with the German local fleet, it was easy to pull them out and support the Russian fleet. In addition to attacking the fallen dog, these four warships were the most needed to be solved!&1t;/p>

"At present, the distribution of the German fleet is like this. The two most damaged battleships are in Constantinople because there is the most complete shipbuilding system in the Balkans.&1t;/p>

"The three fast battleships commanded by Earl Spee and a small number of fast battleships are in Port Erelli, east of Constantinople, responsible for the suppression of the Black Sea Fleet. Another fast battleship and a large number of former dreadnoughts are in Port Burgas, because before that, they had just carried out blockade and shelling missions to the Bulgarian coastal city of Constanta and are resupplying the port of Burgas."&1t;/p>

"Our most important target is Port Erelli, which is a bit far away from us, so among the bombers attacking here, only V15oo can carry torpedoes, and the FB27 bomber can carry 5ookg bombs, and the O-4oo is a little smaller."&1t;/p>

"The troops attacking Constantinople are also mainly bombers, because in order to prevent Russian submarines from attacking, the opponent has deployed many lightning protection nets nearby. The type of torpedo attack is very limited. As for the port of Burgas, there is not much defense, and the distance is relatively close, so it can be mainly torpedo attack aircraft." In a meeting, Lieutenant General Trenchard revealed his plan.&1t;/p>

I have to say that Lieutenant General Trenchard is absolutely excellent in his professional field to become the founder of the Royal Air Force and the first marshal! Through wired conditions, the best choice is made based on the port conditions and the opponents he faces. This is not the end. Then he and his staff planned the most suitable route and several spare routes based on Turkey's population distribution and terrain, avoiding crowded areas as much as possible, preventing exposure, and at the same time shortening the route and saving fuel!&1t;/p>

"The Russians asked us to severely damage two of the Allied Fearless Battleships in Port Erely. Can you and your air force complete this mission?" Churchill thought for a while and asked.&1t;/p>

"If they completely lose their combat effectiveness, it may be difficult. Even if our torpedoes have achieved good results, they can still rush to the beach. Moreover, based on practical experience, 8oo kilograms of torpedoes are difficult to destroy locations such as ammunition depots. However, if it is just to destroy fire control and reduce combat effectiveness, the problem is really not big."&1t;/p>

"And we have also studied the channel of Port Erely. If you are lucky, you may hit a few appropriate hits when the other party evacuates!" Lieutenant General Trenchard gestured on the sand table. If the opponent's large ship was attacked when evacuating from the channel, it is very likely that the channel would be completely blocked. If this is true, even if the warships in the port did not sink, it would be difficult to play a role for a long time.&1t;/p>

"As long as this is guaranteed, it is enough, and the Russian Black Sea Fleet will handle everything left." said an officer next to him.&1t;/p>

"Are the Russians? I hope so." Churchill's words showed a hint of disdain. But this time, Churchill was really wrong. In order to break the deadlock, the Russians were also fighting very hard! At the same time, the Russian Black Sea Fleet also began to discuss related matters of this operation!&1t;/p>
