If, I mean if. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf the Entente really launched the Balkan landing battle, then the prince will definitely give a thumbs up to the Allied decision-makers who planned this battle, and then give a pure gold medal of 1KG!

"In Istanbul, our fleet can at least lock up the Entente's access to the Mediterranean, and in the Adriatic Sea, our surface ships will not do anything except be blocked by our opponents in this ditch, don't you think it's a waste?"

"The current situation is not a question of whether to act, but a question of how to act, we are running out of time, the Japanese fleet is coming soon, and by that time, whether it is the Adriatic Sea or the Aegean Sea, we will be suppressed to death." The prince paused and continued: "We will have a chance only after the concentration of our forces, and perhaps in a certain naval battle we will be able to win and change the situation in the whole Mediterranean?" And if we don't change, we don't have a chance at all! ”

The prince did not want to dwell with Admiral House anymore over whether to fight or not, what he needed now was to immediately make a plan that was okay, and let the fleets on both sides complete their preparations, and then act together, the Austro-Hungarian fleet rushed out of the Adriatic, and then the Spee-Fleet met in the direction of the Aegean Sea!

This plan sounds simple, but it ...... done. It's too TMD's complicated, the Austro-Hungarian fleet does not dare to go far easily if it can break through the Adriatic blockade, and the same is true of the Spee's fleet! Even if it did go out of the Aegean Sea, what if the French fleet blocked the way back? A big fight with the French at the entrance to the Dardanelles? It is certain that the French fleet will suffer heavy losses, but the Spee fleet is not expected to be able to return a few ships......

In the North Sea, the High Seas Fleet had well-established minefields, and there was more than one way home to Wilhelmshaven, or to bypass Denmark into the Baltic Sea and eventually return to the port of Kiel. In such a situation, it is difficult for the British to block if they want to. But in the Mediterranean, the two routes home of the Allied fleet were the only one, and there was no perfect and reliable protection!

"The fleet is in very good shape, ready to go to the Dardanelles." Admiral House saw that the result could not be changed, so he could only carry out the order, and thinking of this, he was still very cooperative with the prince.

"Count Spee's fleet is also in good shape, it can also perform high-intensity combat missions, and from the point of view of supply and maintenance, the fleet is capable of supporting the Austro-Hungarian fleet. After all, we have been preparing there for 6 whole years. Tirpitz said.

"So what are the actions on the part of the French fleet? Do they move regularly? "The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible in a hundred battles. Why was the prince able to make a fool of himself at the door of the British? And not because of their own "historical knowledge" and knowledge of their opponents? Why are the British yin? Isn't it because they think they know their opponent and then think the prince is Hipper?

Compared with the British Navy, the performance of the French Navy in the Mediterranean can be described as completely bland, except for the angry sending of a wave of former dreadnoughts in the battle for the Dardanelles, the performance of the French fleet in the whole war was very non-existent, and even the Italian fleet did a sneak attack on the port of Austria-Hungary and the use of motor-torpedo boats to kill the dreadnoughts. And the French? There really is no commendable example of war. Therefore, while affirming the mediocre performance of the French fleet, the prince also knew very little about the French navy.

"The French tried to blockade the Spee fleet near the sea after the start of the war, and their auxiliary warships deployed mines under the cover of the main fleet, but the effect was terrible, the fast battleships in the fleet of Count Spee could always kill the little ones one by one before the French main fleet arrived, and the heavy armor ensured that the fleet would not matter if it was bitten twice by the French." Tirpitz said this, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Realizing that the nearshore blockade was unattainable, the French acted more realistically, they sent destroyers to guard the perimeter, and if they did not leave the Aegean Sea, the French fleet would not do anything, and if we had the intention of rushing out of the Aegean Sea, the French fleet would always find us under the guidance of the destroyers. At least during the day. ”

"So have we ever tried to make a sortie at night to avoid the tracking of the French fleet?" The prince asked rhetorically.

"There is no problem for small warships to sneak out of the port, and even large warships can go out in small formations, and it is difficult for the French to detect us when the radio silence and light control are maintained, but at the same time, because the French have a large number of destroyers, it is also more dangerous at night, and the two minelaying ships of the Turkish Navy were sunk at night when they were laying mines in the Aegean Sea." Tirpitz said.

"Well, then what is the arrangement of the French fleet in the Adriatic direction?" The prince asked.

"Before, only a few small warships were in charge of guarding, but because the distance between the Adriatic Sea and the Aegean Sea is not far, the French fleet can take care of it when patrolling the open sea, and in fact, the other side locked the two rooms with a lock." Admiral House said.

"In other words, it is impossible for us to try to converge during the day." The prince said thoughtfully.

"Actually, it's not possible at night." Admiral House said very dryly. "As long as we have a large fleet passing through the Strait of Otranto, then we will definitely be discovered, and maybe even by the French submarines or camouflaged ships under the Italian flag not long after we leave the port, and they will definitely be able to reach us in the Dardanelles if they want to."

"The French fleet occupied Crete shortly after the start of the war, and used it as a base for its advance, and if we want to converge, then we must act under the noses of the French."

"I see." The prince was a little depressed, Turkey fought well in the Balkan wars in this plane, lost very little land, and even Crete was not completely lost in the end, but now it seems that this is convenient for the French, and in the case that Greece has not yet entered the war, the French navy gained a foothold in the Aegean Sea by occupying Crete! What a tragic thing!

And then the situation now is that the battle line of the French fleet has shifted hundreds of kilometers, and the muzzle of the gun is directly pressed against Spee's head! And then as soon as you turn around, you can put the muzzle of the gun against the head of the Austro-Hungarian fleet! This battle is not easy to fight! The difficulty even surpassed that of the Battle of the North Sea.
