Chapter 1469 What path to take (1)

"It's so risky, this time the French are really moving!" At this time, just after the German fleet evacuated, the German seaplane was still flying in the night sky near the port, and the French found out that the German fleet had already evacuated. , There is no longer to hide itself, the fleet itself does not carry out strict light control, 4 Breston-class super dreadnoughts, 4 armored cruisers and at least a dozen destroyers and torpedo boats appeared on the periphery of the port, but still A German seaplane flying in the air spotted the French fleet.

"The four French super fearless ships are here. I don’t know if this is a coincidence or premeditated. This time the French Navy has an absolute advantage. The number of battleships is the same as ours, and the scale of auxiliary battleships is much larger than ours. We will leave in our fleet. After 40 minutes, the French fleet arrived." The Raven seaplane sent everything she saw to the fleet via telegram, and then, the twin-engined seaplane remained near the French fleet to observe its opponent carefully. And report their every move to the headquarters.

"It seems that our action tonight is over. The main force of the French fleet appears. We can only complete half of the plan!" An officer looked at the telegram in his hand and said unwillingly. In any case, the German fleet has made a profit in this wave of attacks, and it is normal to choose to run away when a powerful enemy is waiting for it and its own fleet can't beat the opponent due to the shell problem.

"Our luck is a bit bad today." Earl Spey stared at the chart closely. If someone could scan the entire Aegean Sea from the perspective of God at this time, then you can find that the Earl’s fleet is not far from the French fleet. The earl's fleet is located about 15 nautical miles northwest of the French fleet. If it is daytime, the other party may already be able to find himself through the smoke column.

"But the French fleet does not know our position so far, but we do know his position! This is an advantage for us. The French should not leave here at the moment, but we can go under the cover of night. The next target-Chios!" The earl's words were like a stone falling into a calm pond, and a group of subordinates even suspected that their ears had heard something wrong!

"Dear Commander, we do not intend to challenge your authority, but if we continue to go south, even if our attack is successful, our retreat will be cut off by the French, and they will stay in Daddani. At the entrance of the Strait, there may be British people! It is absolutely impossible for us to go back through the minefield under the attack of 8 super fearless and a bunch of former fearless battleships!" An officer said excitedly.

"And to be honest, after our first attack, the French should have been prepared. Our attack on Chios may not be very successful. As long as our fleet exists, it is a strategic force. We have no need for it. In order to win or lose for a while, take the fleet in." Another officer said.

"It's still early, but at 11 o'clock in the evening, we have enough time to arrive at Chios Island, then attack, and finally withdraw to the Dardanelles under the cover of night. Our minefield at the entrance and exit of the strait is large enough, and Several entrances and exits have been opened in advance, and the French cannot completely blockade them. Of course, if you want to do this, the most important thing is to be fast!" But some officers also support the earl’s opinion. After all, this opportunity is rare, and In the night, even if the fleet meets, if you want to go, it is difficult for the opponent to bite.

"First of all, it is completely wrong to think that a fleet that exists in a port can act as a strategic force! Prince Ruprecht once said that a fleet that cannot carry out combat missions at sea is comparable to fishing boats in a port. What is the essential difference. Although this is a bit radical, it is completely correct in principle. Our existence and our strength are achieved through blows to the enemy. Not sitting in the harbor."

"Secondly, the battle in the Balkans has entered a very critical moment. The French are about to land in Asia Minor. This is undoubtedly a very difficult time for our ally Turkey. The French offensive is about to begin. We need to The Bavarian Legion, to buy time for the Turks. This is also the greatest strategic significance of our existence! In this case, we can only go all out, not back down!"

"Third, and very important point, I have a way to go home safely under the siege of the British and French fleets! Trust me, this is a promise and a guarantee I give everyone. After all, no one wants to die!" Earl Spey Having said this, he smiled slightly. "Don't forget, above us, there is the Bavarian Air Force! Their torpedoes and bombs are enough to make any Anglo-French fleet near the strait tremble and fear! If the British and French dare to hinder us from returning home, then say The scene in the Gulf of Riga will be repeated!"

"But we need to clean up the French airfields on these two islands. Otherwise, under the cover of the British and French Air Forces, it is still doubtful that the Bavarian bomber units can exert their combat effectiveness." An officer thought for a while and said.

"You are right, so we still have a lot of things to do tonight~lightnovelpub.net~If this is the case, don't waste precious time on wrangling. Now, send a report to the Air Force immediately. The air force is needed to respond, and the bombers finally adopt anti-ship arrangements. I hope they can cover my fleet from the obstacles of the British and French fleets and successfully retreat to the Black Sea!" Count Spey said.

"What if Lieutenant General Harrell disagrees?" asked a staff member who was recording the content of the message.

"Then send a telegram to His Royal Highness Ruprecht, and he will make the right choice." Count Spey said. After the telegram was sent, Earl Spey ordered the fleet to go south immediately and prepare to attack the second target originally planned. With the radio transmission, the prince in Bulgaria and the Lieutenant General Harar received this telegram that almost changed the entire battle plan!

"What the hell?! Spey was too reckless to do this. He completely abandoned our original plan." Lieutenant General Calipt, who was a staff member, did not forget to complain when he telegraphed his Royal Highness. During such a big operation tonight, the personnel of the Supreme Command of the Allies in the Balkans did not rest. However, no one thought that they were waiting for this telegram!
