Chapter 1456

"No matter what, Turkey must not lose. Send a telegram to the Kaiser. I want the German government to come forward, so that I can command the Turkish army, let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Turkish government contact the Turkish government to prepare for the army to enter Asia Minor, and let Spey Come here, the earl, I want to know about his fleet! That's it!" The prince thought for a while and said.

Historically, the military representatives sent by Germany to the Austro-Hungarian Empire or Turkey have a considerable say in the use of the military power of these two countries, and since this time the prince wants to help Turkey resist British and French operations in Asia Minor, he has command power. It is necessary. With the prestige of the prince on the east and west sides, this request is not excessive. After the Kaiser issued the request in the name of the German government, it is estimated that he would soon agree.

Britain and France began to join forces to attack from Asia Minor. Time is tight, so it is imperative for the Bavarian Embassy in Turkey to directly contact the Turkish government with the Bavarian Army to enter Turkey. (It is a fact that Bavaria has embassies in some countries.)

As for the third point, the prince believes that everything is pros and cons. The British-French coalition's choice to go straight from Asia Minor did increase the support cost of the Bavarian Army, but at the same time, God opened the window for you when he closed the door. .... Therefore, the prince thought it was necessary to let Earl Spey come out again!

The British walked so hastily that even the minefields at the western entrance of the Dardanelles were not swept away. It also meant that they did not deploy offensive minefields, which meant that the German Mediterranean Fleet’s battleship could It is easy to enter the Mediterranean Sea, of course, only at night, and it will definitely happen if you go out during the day...

At the same time, according to the information provided by the Air Force, the number of British bombers has been greatly reduced, while the number of fighters has been increased. This is also a sign of a strategy that is more defensive. Through radio monitoring and intelligence provided by insiders, the British are currently deployed in the East. The bomber squadrons in the Mediterranean will eventually be reduced to about six, and none of these bomber squadrons has a dedicated sea attack squadron! This means that even if Earl Spey's fleet is exposed for a short time during the day, there will be no problems!

"If Tracer is added, the air defense problem of the fleet during the day should be solved?" The prince looked at the three Tracer squadrons in Constantinople and thought.

"Compared with the air threat, the British destroyers and submarines may be even more threatening!" Ruprecht thought of this and decided to help the earl.

"Send a telegram to the Kaiser and the German Admiralty, hoping that they can transport some torpedo boats to the Black Sea by rail or other parts. We can't let the Earl's fleet go out and even destroyers are not enough!" The prince said to the adjutant next to him. Commanded.

Because it is fighting in the Mediterranean, and because it is fighting in the sea, the seakeeping and endurance of the destroyer are not high. Small boats of several hundred tons are enough, and some parts of the destroyer can be transported directly by train. Then they were assembled in Bulgaria and Romania, and a group of decent destroyers were prepared for Count Spey’s fleet in a short time!

"I will provide you with a protective aircraft, arrange a destroyer with you, and replenish personnel and supplies for you. As for how you will perform on this battlefield, it is up to you." The prince looked at it. Said the Eastern Mediterranean on the map.

At this time, the Earl of Spey, who is in the Romanian port city of Constanta, is working hard to restore the combat effectiveness of his fleet. It has been several months since the last time the British concentrated hundreds of bombers on the Allied Mediterranean fleet. Under this unexpected attack by the British and Russian armies, although the Spey fleet suffered heavy losses, the main force was still retained, and the Russian Black Sea Fleet was easily solved. Then the British and French fleets returned to the Eastern Mediterranean—Balkans, and the Earl could only stay in this safe corner to step up repairs to the damaged warships, so that he could control these representatives of the highest human technology, and once again sail across the ocean. on!

"How is our fleet recovering now?" When Earl Luknar just returned from the shipyard, Earl Spey, who had been waiting for a long time, asked directly.

"The materials, equipment, and personnel we need to repair the warships are still sufficient. At present, there are four fast battleships that we can fight, the Prince Eugen, the Tegerhof, the Sultan Suleiman I and Reshadi. Yeah. These warships have been completely repaired, the personnel are all in place, the ammunition and supplies are sufficient, and they can be put into battle at any time."

"The San Esteban is currently being repaired in the dock. Although the last attack was not serious, it was injured at the time. If it is to be repaired, I am afraid it will take another two months. As for the joint force Number? His condition is very bad. Because of the serious flooding, he has been in Constantinople. Now, with the offensive of the British and French forces, the Turkish government has temporarily given up on this warship."

"As for the armored cruiser Redbeard in my fleet, it will take about 3 weeks to complete, and the former dreadnoughts of the squadron you are directly under, I think the value of the repair is not great, because their speed is too slow. "Earl Luknar said.

"Where is our **** warship?" Earl Spey asked.

"Now including the captured Romanian destroyers, torpedo boats, and the destroyers provided by Bulgaria, the total number of destroyers and torpedo boats we can use now is 16, although there are no light cruisers, but it is the strongest fleet that can be assembled." Lu Count Knar replied.

"You know? The British fleet that originally gathered on the outskirts of the Dardanelles retreated~lightnovelpub.net~Earl Spey said. "They left without even clearing our minefields, and did not deploy new ones. Mine. "

"The British strategy has changed?" Count Luckner said unexpectedly.

"That's the case. It is said that the last time the Bavarian Army had a successful assault, the British gave up the attack from the Balkans." Count Spey said. "This is also good news for us, isn't it? We have lifted the restrictions and the Allied Mediterranean Fleet can enter the Mediterranean in a veritable way this time."

"I have a hunch that we will return to the battlefield soon, so keep working hard, Lukner, my student." Count Spey said meaningfully.

"Your Excellency, your telegram, from His Royal Highness Prince Ruprecht." At this moment, the adjutant sent Count Spey a long-lost telegram.
