The arms trade between the Australasian Government and the Spanish Government was not hidden in the slightest. When a transport fleet from Australasia sailed into the Mediterranean under the protection of warships, Italy and Germany finally felt the pressure.
Protecting this transport fleet was a luxurious carrier battle group consisting of 2 battleships, 1 aircraft carrier, 1 battlecruiser, 5 destroyers, 12 escort ships, and 6 submarines.
All these main battle vessels and submarines were equipped with the most advanced Dove missiles, intended to fend off any potential aggression from the Italian navy.
It could be said that this fleet alone was enough to ensure the complete safety of the entire transport fleet.
Unless the Italian navy mobilized in full force, small-scale fleets stood no chance at all against this escort fleet.
As for Italy, they were now faced with a very difficult decision.
