"Recently, the British navy has become more and more active in the Mediterranean sea. This not only affects our operation plans in North Africa, but also threatens our territorial security. The Prime Minister orders you to regain control of the Mediterranean. It is of great importance to our country and our allies." - Graziani

### Dialogue:

Start of Mission

* Graziani: The enemy's main naval forces are lost in the English Channel. This will be their last resistance in the Mediterranean Sea. They take advantage of the nearby islands to form a defense line and seek to mine under water to limit our moves.
* Mountbatten: This is our last chance. We must stop Italy from taking over the whole Mediterranean.

Northeastern Port Captured (Normal mode)

* Graziani: The position of this port is critical, and the enemy must reinforce it by sending fleets. So make sure that you have complete control over this site.

British Southern Destroyer Defeated

* Mountbatten: Our hinterland has been attacked and the Reserve Fleets have been sent. We must block them.

Cunningham Defeated (Normal mode)

* Mountbatten: The enemy's fleets have broken through the west side of the line. Please send reinforcements immediately.

### Events:

Defeat of Cunningham (Hard mode)

## Walkthrough:

The starting positions are shown on the right in the picture. (Normal mode)

### Normal mode:

Ignore the middle island and send your navy down to the island with the aircraft carrier near it, while also sending down your motorized infantry down closer to the carrier (this will distract the carrier). then, build a tier III submarine in your port. After a turn, continue fighting the enemy until you destroy the enemy submarine, cruiser and destroyer near the carrier. Then, target the aircraft carrier. (use the submarines first to weaken the carrier as they can't be retaliated against). Use your submarines to kill the ship on the port, while using the cruisers and destroyers to hold off the other ships. (the medium tank can be used to land on the island to kill the field artillery and damage the coastal artillery). Use the port you captured to build tier III submarines and send them to kill the super battleship. Make sure to protect your submarines with your cruisers and destroyers.

### Hardmode:

(assume they have beaten the Europe theatre and are fully upgraded for either 1939 or 43 depending on which is the minimum for a 3 star).
