Prince Ruprecht did not know when the Japanese fleet would come to the Mediterranean, nor did he know what price the British would pay in exchange for Japan's large-scale participation in the war, but the prince knew that if he waited until the Japanese fleet came to the Mediterranean, he would take certain actions, it would be too late!

What the? What if the Japanese fleet came to the North Sea, you say? Although the prince did not know much about the performance of the new Japanese battleships, although the Japanese navy is indeed relatively NB now, even if they did come to the North Sea, the prince did not think that it would have much impact on the situation.

First of all, the size of the Japanese fleet will not be very large, 4 capital ships will reach the sky, right? Secondly, if it was a battleship, then it would naturally have to act together with the Grand Fleet, and the prince did not intend to let the High Seas Fleet and the Grand Fleet meet at all. Regardless of whether the Japanese fleet came or not, the German fleet now did not have the ability to fight with the Grand Fleet. And if it was a war patrol, even if the likes of Princess Lion had learned from the past and came over, it was just a few more cannon fodder, and the prince didn't mind letting the orangutan brothers hang in the North Sea.

Of course, this is only the current estimate of the prince, and the actual situation will be discussed when the time comes......

So, relatively speaking, the prince was more worried about the Japanese fleet in the Indian Ocean against Suxiong, or going into the Mediterranean Sea with the French against Count Spee. And now in order to give the Mediterranean a better situation before the Japanese fleet acted, the prince thought that he should do something.

"I don't think it makes sense to keep the main force of the Austro-Hungarian fleet in the Adriatic Sea, which is only 130,000 square kilometers and is land on three sides, and the core of the use of the fleet is concentration! Therefore, I hope that His Majesty the Kaiser and the German General Staff will ask the Austrian Emperor that the other two Combined Forces-class battleships leave the Arya Sea at the right time, join up with Count Spee's fleet, and then use Istanbul as a base to operate in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. At the meeting the next day, at the very beginning, the prince gave his opinion.

"With 6 super-dreadnought Spee fleets, it is perfectly possible to take a more proactive action, and it is also possible to fight with the French when the time is right. And I have a hunch that the negotiations between the British and the Japanese are probably at the last moment, and they will soon come to an agreement, and then the Japanese fleet will come to the Mediterranean. "Regarding the negotiations between Britain and Japan, the prince really doesn't know, but there is a saying? A good lie, in order for the Kaiser to make a decision as soon as possible, the prince does not mind telling a lie.

"This, you told us that it is not very useful, if you have the opportunity, you can talk to His Majesty Fritz about this matter, after all, this is the Austro-Hungarian Navy, and what you say, I am afraid the effect will be better." Little Moltke said with some embarrassment.

"The German government always has to take a stand, and in short, it's better to do it as soon as possible." The prince no longer paid attention to Moltke, what did he say about this? As much as he can, for Count Spee, the prince can only help here, as for what to do later, it can only be seen in the move.

"But at present, the Japanese Navy is facing off against the U.S. Navy in Kaiser Wilhelm's territory, and the two sides have sent battleship formations, so the Japanese should not be able to take care of the Indian Ocean or the Mediterranean, right?" Tirpitz said. Although after the outbreak of the war, the United States obtained a number of key islands, but most of the key islands were occupied by Japan, and the German colonies on the island of Guinea were both wanted by the United States and Japan, but the two sides were like two cats that grabbed a fish, one dragged the head of the fish, the other dragged the tail of the fish, and no one wanted to give up.

However, the current situation is that the two sides do not want to give up, and they do not want to really fight, and the two countries, which both believe that they cannot lose in momentum, have decided to continue the confrontation like this, and under the guidance ......of this politically correct ideology, the two sides have not given in to each other, and now they have been facing each other for three months, and if nothing else, they may continue to confront each other.

Do you want to ask the U.S. government whether it has any idea of fighting Japan? If now the president is still Theodore. Roosevelt's words, then it is still possible, but the current president is William. Howard. Taft, this is a conformist person, with limited abilities and limited responsibilities. Therefore, the prince did not think that there would be a fight between the United States and Japan. And according to the habit of the Americans, they will not fight a war with a vague future, after all, if there is a war with Japan, there may be a direct conflict between the United States and Britain, France and Russia, which is a bit expensive and full of uncertainty.

"A direct war between the United States and Japan is not very likely, and this confrontation is a potential for Japan, but it is not a sufficient condition for it not to interfere in the European theater. Let's do something early. The prince shook his head and said.

"In addition, if the main fleet in the Mediterranean cannot open up the situation, I hope that Count Spee will be more proactive in the Black Sea. For example, the sweep of the ports on the Black Sea coast, and the offensive and minelaying of the Sevastopol fortress. ”

"The submarine forces in the Mediterranean also need to be strengthened, and in addition to small offshore submarines, we can also deploy large ocean-going submarines." The prince said.

"Are ocean-going submarines deployed to go to the Atlantic? But how to say it, the Strait of Gibraltar is too narrow, and it is somewhat difficult for us to pass through this blockade line. "Feng. Admiral Pol said.

"No, it's not as difficult as we thought, the Strait of Gibraltar connects the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, and the salt content and temperature of the two bodies of water are not the same, the jump layer is more chaotic, and neither hydrophones nor other reconnaissance equipment will be of very low use here. Moreover, the water depth of the Strait of Gibraltar is relatively large, and the advantages of ocean-going submarines in large diving depths can be brought into play. The prince said with some displeasure.

In fact, the response of the Allied fleet in the Mediterranean was somewhat negative in relation to the actions in the North Sea and the Indian Ocean. But this is also something that can't be helped, although there is a large fleet in the North Sea, but generally speaking, the back to the base, logistics and maintenance can still keep up, and the combat sea area is relatively wide, which is much better than the Mediterranean, where the two fleets almost face each other across the Aegean Sea. And in the Indian Ocean, because there is no particularly big threat, after the Thomas fleet is gone, the Suxiong fleet can go sideways again, so it doesn't matter if the action is aggressive.

But the Mediterranean Fleet is not good, who will you reason with the environment on the other side's guns when you go out? The French fleet was based in Port Said and Alexandria, cruising around Crete all day, which made Count Spee dare not move. So, until the situation was clear, the prince didn't expect much news from Count Spee.
