"Your Highness, this is the news that we came from the Mediterranean Fleet. Starting at 7:30 this morning, our fleets deployed in Constantinople, Erelli and Bulgaria were also attacked by large-scale British Air Force. The Russian Black Sea Fleet also took advantage of the opportunity to attack. From now on, we have at least two fast battleships severely damaged."&1t;/p>

"Your Highness, the interceptor air fleet deployed by the Bavarian Air Force in Constantinople conducted an interception, and both sides suffered heavy losses. So far, Count Lukner's fleet has confirmed the loss of an armored cruiser."&1t;/p>

"The Earl Spee fleet located in Erelli withstood the attacks of the British and Russians with the support of the aviation forces, and almost wiped out the Russian Black Sea Fleet. At present, the Earl decided to continue pursuing."&1t;/p>

Telegrams quickly transferred from Constantinople to Port Kiel. From 1 o'clock in the morning to 8 o'clock in the evening, after ten hours of work, the prince finally got a rough understanding of the sea and air battle that was born thousands of kilometers away.&1t;/p>

"It seems that Earl Spee's fleet has been severely damaged. If the French fleet and Japanese fleet enter the Eastern Mediterranean again, then Earl Spee may have to hide in the Black Sea. The situation is a bit bad, which may cause the neutral countries in the Balkans to make some wrong decisions." Tirpitz, the opposite side, put down his eyes, rubbed his somewhat wooden temples and said in frustration.&1t;/p>

"It was indeed unexpected. I originally thought that the British would throw their bombs at Wilhelmshaven first. This really surprised me. The Count did not make any mistakes." The prince also put down the pen in his hand and said.&1t;/p>

"This, we have lost three fast battleships in the end. The two fast battleships in Constantinople may not be able to enter the battle this year. Your Majesty is very angry." Tirpitz said carefully. As an old man, he had heard the words of shirking responsibility for Earl Spee from the words of the prince just now.&1t;/p>

"We really despise the Balkan War Zone. In the face of unexpected attacks, in the face of British bombers and Russian Black Sea Fleet, we can kill the Black Sea Fleet and save half of the warships. I think this is credit rather than fault. I will explain this to the German Emperor. Before the dust settles, I don't want too many rumors to spread within the Admiralty. That's it." The prince was not interested in entangling on this issue. He was not just for the Earl Spee, but because it was really difficult for the Earl to achieve this level. And the war was about to begin. If the general was temporarily changed at this time, it would definitely not be a good thing for the Mediterranean Fleet!&1t;/p>

"So what should I do now the Mediterranean Fleet? We can't leave those warships alone, and Turkey's conditions are really bad." Tirpitz asked.&1t;/p>

"Have we occupied the Port of Constanta in Romania? It is said that the port is pretty good, so that the remaining warships will be concentrated here, and relevant departments will draw up a plan to provide the Mediterranean fleet with necessary personnel and materials, first repair the three less damaged battleships, and then consider transporting some small submarine accessories through railways. We need to deploy more submarines in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, and at the same time, we will call Prince Leopold to arrange air defense in the surrounding areas." The prince thought for a while and said.&1t;/p>

It is unrealistic to repair all the main battleships. Now, we must ensure the combat effectiveness of three relatively intact battleships. If it is convenient, then repair the Reshadier. The remaining two severely damaged Austro-Hungarian Express battleships are salvaged with floating boxes first, and then after the maintenance of Constantinople, they can see if they can be dragged to the port of Constanta. This maintenance is a long-term process and cannot be rushed. Submarines are crucial to the Battle of the Dardanelles. In history, several British and French coalition forces were killed by submarines. For such a small investment and great success, the prince must do it.&1t;/p>

"By the way, we have another point to add some mines to the Turks, which are also necessary for defense. In addition, we will send two interceptor squadrons and two fighter squadrons to replace the scimitar and the Night Scythe Squadron. We must ensure the safety of the sky above Istanbul as much as possible." The prince finally added.&1t;/p>

In this battle, while the Bavarian Air Force achieved an amazing record of shooting down 88 various aircraft of Royal Air Force, its losses were also heavy. Although the British machine guns were relatively small, the number of them was too large. After a battle, the two squadrons lost 70% of the aircraft, most of which were shot down, and the other part was forced to land because of no fuel. A small part was directly scrapped after flying back to the base. The personnel losses also reached 40%! According to general standards, these two squadrons can withdraw from the battlefield and return to the rear to recover their blood.&1t;/p>

However, the sky above Constantinople cannot be defensive. To be honest, this bombing caused significant losses to the Allied Mediterranean fleet, but also scared the Turks. They thought that the turrets and mine formations in the Strait of Dardanelles were enough to occupy the enemy. However, these bombs falling from the sky broke the Turks' dreams, and this panic must be solved by someone. The German emperor could not count on it at present. The prince in charge of the Eastern Front could only pay out his own pocket to help block the hole first...&1t;/p>

"Contact my Majesty the Emperor of Germany. Some things I need to report on that year, and it is best to meet within three days." The prince had a premonition that his Polish pocket plan might not go smoothly. The Battle of Dardanelles will follow the historical trajectory and may be even bigger. After all, the British bombing was a very obvious signal. They plan to make a big news in the Balkans!&1t;/p>

After arranging these things, the prince fell into deep thought. Everything that has been arranged hastily today is just a temporary solution, which can temporarily ensure the stability of the situation, but it may not be easy if the problem here is completely solved. After the end of this battle, it may only be a matter of time before Greece puts into the arms of the Allies. This is not only because the British repaired their muscles this time, making Greece more optimistic about the Allies, but more importantly, the British were able to take such a big action because of Greece's support...&1t;/p>

Greece joins the Allied Parliament to balance the influence of Bulgaria's joining the allies. If Britain and France plan to do something big, they can't stop it simply by Turkey. The Bavarian Legion planned to besiege Russia's five armies in Poland after the spring.&1t;/p>

"If the Polish Pocket Plan and the Balkan Battle were launched at the same time, it would be a little trouble!" the prince said in his heart.&1t;/p>
