But we don’t think it’s like the Port of Athens, because Athens is very close to us.

Easily detected by our airships."

"The other place is the Port of Naples...!" The big ports along the Mediterranean Sea were all in Li Xiu's mind.

The Port of Naples is larger than the Port of Athens, and the Port of Naples is also a military port.

The Italian Navy often cooperates with the Ming Dynasty Navy, and the relationship between Italy and the Ming Dynasty has always been pretty good.

When Ming Dynasty exported ammunition to Italian warships, it would naturally also sell ammunition to the Italians.

The Hebrews also have a huge presence in Italy. Although the Kafka family is not very powerful in the Hebrew Alliance, as Hebrews, they will definitely provide supplies for this fleet.

The Kafka family reported to the Ming Dynasty and provided supplies to the Hebrews.

The first rat is at both ends, bet on both ends!

This is the standard Hebrew character.

"Send an airship to check all routes from the port of Naples to Crete.

Next time you have such a good idea, you should tell it in advance. Don't hide it all the time."

"No! I just thought of this."

The departing airship had not returned yet. At 2:45 pm, two aircraft carriers from the Ming Dynasty arrived.

The Liaodong and Shandong have arrived in the waters of Crete!

"This fleet must be discovered before dark. Night attacks are not good for us. Moreover, it is very dangerous for aircraft to land on an aircraft carrier at night.

Now we have a very limited number of aircraft and we cannot afford to lose them."

Li Xiu knew that the aircraft carrier's attack method was carrier-based aircraft.

Aircraft are the weapons of the aircraft carrier. If the aircraft is lost, the aircraft carrier will not even have cannons. It will be nothing but a decoration.

Li Xiu became even more anxious, although the Mediterranean night came later.

But around seven o'clock in the evening, it was completely dark.

The clock has reached three o'clock!

At most! At most! It’s only four hours.

Four hours later is the most dangerous moment.

Because it is not easy to identify the target when the aircraft attacks at night. Moreover, it is also full of dangers when landing at night.

Li Xiu waited anxiously at the window, and soon the aircraft carrier could be seen with the naked eye outside the port of Crete.

The airship still hasn't returned, and it's been less than three hours since dark.

Time is already very urgent!

The aircraft carrier in the distance began to release reconnaissance planes. The speed of the reconnaissance planes could be three times faster than the airship.

"This is the last chance!" Li Xiu looked at the crowd in the distance who were reveling in the reconnaissance plane.

Few people in the Navy had ever seen an airplane, and they were a little excited to see a machine that could fly so fast.

Some people even shouted at the aircraft carrier!

The people in the 1st Cavalry Division had seen airplanes, and they looked down upon these navies who had never seen the world.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the airship still had not returned, and neither had the reconnaissance plane.

Watching the Western Ocean slant down, the sun sinks little by little, almost touching the surface of the sea.

"All destroyers left port and escorted the ships carrying troops to Sassenita.

God bless you, please don't hit those two destroyers." With no other choice, Li Xiu had no choice but to ask God for help.

"Commander, are you also going to Rhode Island by airship? As long as there are subordinates here!" Chen Laohu looked at Li Xiu and said with some worry.

Even if Crete is bombed, nothing will happen to Li Xiu. The battlefield is full of dragon blood, and who can guarantee that the shells will not fall on Li Xiu's head?

Otherwise, even if it kills the entire Israeli Navy, Ming Dynasty will fail.

God knows what a commander who has lost his brother can do.

"No! I'm in Crete and I'm not going anywhere." Li Xiu flatly rejected Chen Laohu.

"Commander, now is not the time to be angry. You..."

"Stop talking, I will not leave Crete. If we lose this battle, Ming Dynasty will lose the entire Mediterranean.

Whether the Suez Canal can be saved is a matter of uncertainty.

I, Li Xiu, am a sinner of the country and the nation. At that time, not only me, but also all of you here would have no shame in living in this world."

Li Xiu's eyes scanned everyone present like a chainsaw.

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to meet Li Xiu's eyes.

This look is so compelling!

For a time, the atmosphere in the command post was extremely tense.

Everyone was busy with the things at hand, and even the volume on the phone was lowered.

At ten minutes past five, the head of the telecommunications section suddenly ran in with a telegram: "Commander, we found it, we found it."

"Found it?" Chen Laohu took the telegram and took a look at it.

"Commander, the Israeli fleet has been found. It is three hundred kilometers away from us, with a speed of 22 knots. It is expected to reach Crete around ten o'clock tonight."

"Order the aircraft carrier to dispatch carrier-based aircraft to attack!" Li Xiu was so excited that his whole body trembled.

After hanging on for a day, I finally let go. As long as it is found by a reconnaissance plane, there is no possibility of the fleet escaping. After all, the range and speed of aircraft carriers are far superior to warships.
