Sometimes, it is also a troublesome to act too quickly. For example, the day after the French fleet was hit by a submarine, he took all the elite troops to confiscate the hometown the next day after the French fleet was hit by a submarine, and then it succeeded! This made the prince and others feel that happiness came too quickly and were a little uncomfortable... But no matter what, just prepare immediately. The fleet can sail at any time. The only troublesome thing is the lifting and preparation of materials. The fleet of Earl Spee's fleet will take some time to rest after returning to the port.&1t;/p>

"At most three days to prepare! On the fifth night, the fleet of Lieutenant General Negovan must appear in the Marmara Sea!" The prince finally made a decision on the battle on behalf of the Ao Emperor! Three days of preparation time, and the third night was released. This was a well-thought-out plan. If the time was too long, there might be a problem. The time was too short and there would be no things to be loaded... Moreover, the Spee fleet also needs to repair the fleet. Not to mention going to the dock, at least we should get a plug to block the break at the waterline of the warship, and then drain the accumulated water.&1t;/p>

Considering the huge scale of the fleet after the convergence, the need for a long war of attrition, and the fact that Turkey does not have the ability to manufacture 35omm armor-piercing shells, this time the Austro-Hungarian fleet took away almost all the large-caliber naval gun shells from all the military ports along the Adriatic Sea. On the transport ship of San Isabella, 4ooo more than 35omm shells and some spray bags were stored.&1t;/p>

Considering the concealment and anti-submarine problems of such a large-scale fleet sailing, other battleships of the Austro-Hungarian fleet have specifically strengthened mine sweeping and reconnaissance work near the Otranto Strait. As for the Mediterranean, if the Austro-Hungarian fleet with an average flight of more than 20 knots is really hit by a submarine at night... it will be a bad thing. The fleet will sail at 5 pm on the third day and pass through the Otranto Strait with the highest voyage. If nothing unexpected happens, it will enter the Mediterranean before 8 pm and use the last ray of sunlight during the day to pass through the area that is most likely to be ambushed by submarines and mines.&1t;/p>

The moment of attack is determined, then the route must be decided. After leaving the Adriatic Sea, the nearest route will naturally pass through the Kirhira Strait between Greece and Crete, but the French fleet is deployed here. Although they were smashed two bricks, it is still not affordable by the Austro-Hungarian fleet. Therefore, the best route can only be to bypass Crete and pass through the strait between Rhodes and the Karpasos Islands. It is close to Turkey, and you can also understand the situation of the strait through some near-shore ships. Moreover, it is far from the French fleet, and the probability of encountering it is relatively low.&1t;/p>

Logically speaking, now that the French fleet is severely damaged and in a very bad state, the Austro-Hungarian fleet can go out by itself. Gao Hang and most of the night operations, and the French are definitely unwilling to fight at this time. This matter should be almost certain. But the prince always feels that there is something wrong with it, and he can't explain it clearly, but he can always feel that a hidden master behind the scenes makes him very uneasy.&1t;/p>

&1t;/p>

"By the way, where is the Japanese fleet now?!" the prince thought about it and asked.&1t;/p>

"This, according to the tip three days ago, seems to have not passed through the Strait of Malacca." Tirpitz is still very competent as a staff officer. Remember Men Qing about the Navy.&1t;/p>

"What about now?" the prince asked.&1t;/p>

"I don't know this, I guess I've arrived in India." The Navy Minister said in embarrassment.&1t;/p>

"What does it mean to be India?!" The prince was very dissatisfied with this answer. At this time, the prince did not forget the Fuso-class battleship that had just beaten the US Navy in the Battle of Bismarck. In history, this class of battleships was at most a fairly normal. But in this plane? Not to mention anything else, just from the 1O 15-inch 142 cannon on it, as well as the two points that are said to be as thick as the Queen and are tilted! Even the prince believed that it was difficult to penetrate the opponent's main armor from the side string with the 15-inch cannon of the Bavarian-class battleship. Whether it can be penetrated depends on the angle of the opponent's inclination.&1t;/p>

In addition, it is said that the cost of 30,000 pounds is 30,000 pounds. As long as the design is not particularly bad, the "sincerity" reaches this level, the combat effectiveness will definitely not be low. In more than three years, there is no rush to work, and there will be no overtime pay. The salary of Japanese ship workers is still low, which is 50,000 pounds more expensive than the queen! If there is no corruption, these real money will become combat effectiveness.&1t;/p>

What made the prince most uneasy is how much the warship was? The Japanese said it was 23 quarters. However, according to the hidden hiding of Nagamon's Nagamon's voyage in Japan in history, the 23 quarters is definitely low! You should know that the Nagamon-class battleship before the major reforms in history ran a high of 26.7 quarters! And Japan claimed that it seemed to be 24 quarters? Therefore, after deciding historical experience, Ruprecht believed that it was reasonable to run 25 quarters in this plane!&1t;/p>

Well, to put it bluntly, the prince was worried that the British and Japanese would go to build a plank road and secretly travel to Chencang! Unconsciously, two Japanese fast battleships and the accompanying British warships came here! By then, Earl Spey's night attack on Crete would completely lose its strategic value!&1t;/p>

"First send an instruction to our overseas intelligence personnel to understand the trends of the Japanese fleet as soon as possible."&1t;/p>

"Then, contact the German Emperor immediately, and then order Earl Spee in the name of the Imperial Admiralty to rush to the outskirts of Rhode Island to meet the Austro-Hungarian fleet on the scheduled date. This time, we have to go all of them, not only four fast battle lines, but also two armored cruisers, too!" said the prince.&1t;/p>

"Is this a bit of a big deal? Just get it in the northern part of the Aegean Sea, right?" Tirpitz said in surprise.&1t;/p>

"No, this order must be executed without fail. If you are unwilling to sign this order, then good, I will contact the German Emperor directly." The prince will never retreat in military issues! "I have a premonition that when I go out this time, I will most likely encounter some trouble."&1t;/p>

"If that's the case, then don't go out?" Tirpitz murmured in his heart. Of course, he didn't have the courage to say it directly.&1t;/p>

But no matter what, the prince's authority on the naval issue was shot out with real guns. After the Thunder-Sherbruce operation, no one could cause trouble for the prince on naval tactical issues. So although Tirpitz was a little reluctant, he still did it according to the prince's request. The telegram was taken out, and the changes in the Mediterranean War finally reached a critical moment!&1t;/p>
