The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 1219: Above the Black Sea IV

Chapter 1219 Above the Black Sea (4)

The Lieutenant General did this for a reason. The two Austro-Hungarian fast battleships in Constantinople were already injured, and the two squadrons were relatively stable. The two squadrons of bombers were sent to Burgas Port because after all there were 1 relatively intact Super Dreadnought and 2 former Dreadnoughts. The size is relatively large. As for the Spey Fleet in Port Erreli, the Lieutenant Admiral thinks that it is enough to tilt the force appropriately. It is almost impossible for the Air Force to solve this problem. Moreover, the distance to Port Ereli is the farthest. Although the Lieutenant General stated clearly, he also considered the problems after being discovered by the Turks. As long as the early warning can be made one hour in advance, the Royal Air Force has passed and it is estimated that even Mao will not be found...

Of course, the Lieutenant General did not dare to repeatedly emphasize this issue with the navy. If the Russians knew that the Royal Air Force was not too sure about this air strike, I am afraid that the Russian Black Sea Fleet would not attack at all... This is actually a game that takes place within the team. The premise for the Russians to attack was to believe that the British Air Force could help them solve most of the problems, while the British considered doing a half-and-half of things by themselves and let the Russians solve the remaining problems.

It is true that the Russians need the help of British bombers to try to make a comeback in the Black Sea, but what about the British? The Russian fleet’s naval guns are also needed to remove the huge obstacles after the start of the Dardanelles battle in the future! Both sides want each other to contribute, but they also subconsciously shirk their own responsibilities. The Russians are really selfish, afraid that after the fleet goes out, it will accidentally be broken... For the British, it is because they find it difficult for some of the plans themselves.

As the commander of this operation, Lieutenant General Trentchard has done very well. The British Air Force responsible for bombing Burgas Port will cross the Black Sea and then head north. In this case, the fleet should be It is at sea, it is difficult to be found. The fleet responsible for bombing Constantinople will take off at 4 am and then enter the battlefield from its back to the sun at dawn, but it is difficult for the fleet attacking Ereli to avoid the day. In other words, only the British fleet attacking Ereli could provide early warning time for the German fleet!

Therefore, from his point of view, in line with the principle of maximizing the benefits of attacking, the best way is to first eat what can fall on the plate. As for the far away, then eat as much as possible. According to the previous plan, Lieutenant General Trentchard can at least guarantee that the German fleet in Constantinople and Burgas will be blown to death. Port Ereli depends on the situation. Anyway, there are Russians making up.

But now? If the 4 bomber groups go to Ereli, luck will naturally make the German fleet overwhelmed. But what if you have bad luck? The remaining three squadrons attacking two ports always feel a little stretched. However, Lieutenant General Trentchard could not ignore the navy's request, because it was the navy's leadership and he had the right to propose plans, but the final decision depends on the navy.

"The two battleships of Constantinople will definitely not be able to run. They were seriously injured. We can't bomb this time and we can bomb again. The fleet in Burgas Port has only one super fearless, and it is too far from the main battlefield. . It has little effect on the outcome of this battle. Only the three fast battleships and three quasi-fearless ships directly under the jurisdiction of Earl Spey are the key! We must hit them hard, otherwise if there are two super-fearless ships remaining, the Russian fleet will It's the rhythm that can't be eaten." Navy representative Lieutenant Admiral Stetti gave his reasons.

Does the lieutenant's words make sense? Of course there is, let alone that Earl Spey’s fleet occupies more than half of the available battleships of the entire Allied Mediterranean fleet. Indeed, more attack power should be allocated. Just for the sake of the Russian fleet outside, it is impossible for the Russians to run into two super fearless ships as soon as they go out! This TM is still a hairy!

Sometimes, planning this thing can't tell who is right and who is wrong. Only after fighting can we know, what is fact is the only criterion for testing truth? This is! However, for the time being, the air force commander and the navy special commissioner cannot solve this problem. If it is so good, it will be temporarily turned over. Let the above make the final decision, and at this time a slight change has occurred in Turkey! ——The frequent aviation investigations by the British made the Turks feel uneasy!

To tell the truth, airplanes are rarely seen in this era, and you are dangling in the sky of the other party's capital all day, can people not worry about it? Do you really think the Turks are blind? Still not vigilant? Quite the opposite! The Turks can't be careless about their capital, right? In fact, the stalemate of the historical Dardanelles battle was largely due to a previous British bombardment of the Turkish coast which caused the latter to be dissatisfied.

But this time, the British frequent aerial investigations were very problematic in the eyes of the thoughtful Earl Spey! Through the deployment of observation posts in various places and the cracked spy incidents, the earl felt uneasy from the abnormal activities of the British!

"Such investigations have been going on for nearly a month. Under the British planes, we will be spotted in any movement. And what makes me more disturbed is that British people have appeared in the sky over Port Ereli. Long-range reconnaissance planes have eradicated intelligence from the homeland. The British air force already has a certain ability to attack the sea. I am worried that one day in the future, we will not be overthrown by the battleships of the Allies, but will be bombed by their planes. It's a mess." In a meeting, Earl Spey said to his subordinates.

If there are problems, they must be resolved, but in Turkey, where the industrial system is not very complete, it is naturally impossible to create an air fleet that can provide cover for the fleet. So, the earl thought for a while, and targeted Prince Ruprecht again. The prince’s "goodness and charity" are not only famous in the German navy, if the Bavarian Legion is the prince's own son. Then the German Navy can almost be regarded as the "godson" of the prince. After all, the prince now holds the actual command of the navy! As a good commander ~lightnovelpub.net~, you can't be harsh on the people below...

"I think that His Royal Highness has provided as many as 200 aircrafts for the main force of the High Seas Fleet and contacted the Americans for the Suxiong Fleet in the Indian Ocean. Now, there is nothing for the Allied Mediterranean Fleet in the throat of the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. Affordable, I think this is unreasonable..." In the letter to the prince, Earl Spey wrote so confidently.

In addition, do not unreasonably question the author's sophistication all day long. It is a historical fact that the British had loaded torpedoes on water planes and put them into actual combat in 1915. Use 500-pound bombs too. As for the fingers, just imagine, what was the history of German War 1 aviation? There are no air-launched torpedoes and torpedo planes. There are no O-400-class bombers in the mass-produced aircraft. The fighter jets fly at the same speed as other single-shot bombers with bombs. Have you heard of DH9A? A single-shot bomber with two 230-pound bombs flying at sea level at 123 miles. Now Germany has everything that should be there. Isn't this a golden finger? How big is the Kingdom of Bavaria? The author is a prince, not a prince. The author writes here and does not include it in the testimonial because it is included in the testimonial because the pirated version is invisible to readers. Is it okay for readers to tolerate it?
