"I'm right, we will return to the battlefield soon! This time, we will surely create another glory!" Earl Spey said with confidence!

"Call back to His Highness and say that I will rush to his headquarters as fast as possible." Earl Spee turned to his students and said, "Before I come back, prepare everything, fate once again puts us at a critical moment, work hard, my child!"

Just as Count Spee set out, Ruprecht was also preparing for the upcoming naval battle. Before that, he needed to figure out what the deployment of the fleet forces of both sides in this sea area is like!

"It seems that in the last battle, the Spee fleet's strike against the French Dreadnought and Super Dreadnought was still a bit bad, but the quasi-Default was almost done." The prince said helplessly as he looked at the list of Allied fleets currently active in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Did Earl Spee's night attack succeed? Of course it was successful! Killing one dreadnought, severely attacking another dreadnought, and killing three Dandong-class quasi-fairy and three armored cruisers. The TMs were all done one night! The results of this battle are already amazing, okay?

If we count the previous attacks of the ub-12 submarine on the Brestane-class battleship No. 4 Normandy, now the French Navy has a total of 4 super fearless ships in this sea area. That's right, you're right, it's just this number. Normandy was ultimately unable to return to France. During the tow back, he was ambushed by an Austro-Hungarian submarine, resulting in the final battle sinking. At this time, the French Navy served a new Bristane-class battleship, so the super fearless number was still 4!

The Guba of the Dreadnought was completely killed, and the Paris was severely damaged and successfully towed back, but it remained in the shipyard for no repair. Because the damage was too great, it was very troublesome to repair. Moreover, after the British agreed to send a super fearless squadron, the French felt that the Mediterranean was stable, so there was no need to spend a lot of effort to repair the Paris. In this way, the French had two dreadnoughts left, but the two dreadnoughts were not deployed to the Eastern Mediterranean.

As for auxiliary warships? The other three Dandong-class battleships are resting. After a period of rest, they will immediately go to the Eastern Mediterranean. In addition to the six accompanying fleets, the armored cruisers are also busy with other things. Therefore, although the current French fleet deployed in the Eastern Mediterranean is the main force, they have not all come here.

The former dreadnoughts, armored cruisers and landing forces of the French fleet are now concentrated on Greek islands west of Asia Minor, such as Chios, Lesvos, and Summers. The four super dreadnought battleships are concentrated on the Crete generation. Because they will be attacked by planes, submarines and mines near the coast of Turkey, they will be attacked by planes, submarines and mines. Therefore, unless the French main fleet will go there when the landing is launched, under normal circumstances, the French fleet will choose a safer Crete area.

The big head of the Mediterranean Fleet is still the British. Now the British Royal Navy finally figured it out. After deciding not to challenge the North Sea, the Germans' sea control power and decided not to block the entrances and exits of the North Sea, the British fleet, which only shrinks to the local area, is still very rich, because, in the eyes of the British, no matter how strong the Germans are, they will not be able to run to the Royal Navy air bomber combat radius, and in fact it is indeed the case. Apart from pretending to be mine-branches and submarines, the German Navy really has no intention of wandering off the British coast.

Ruprecht said it is acceptable in the current situation. After all, the key to maritime power lies in the use of maritime transportation lines. Whether it can destroy the opponent's main fleet is not the most important. As long as merchant ships from the United States and around the world can successfully arrive at the German mainland, the German Navy can sleep all day!

And the British were quite satisfied with their current equipment? Well, they also felt that they could not afford it easily. However, the main fleet was surplus under the protection of the aviation force. Therefore, according to the previous agreement with the French, the British decided to send a super fearless fleet to the Mediterranean. The French naturally hoped that the Queen or Revenge-class battleships would be brought to the Mediterranean. However, the British believed that the lack of these two house-crowd things would make them sleep poorly, so they decided to send a second-class battleship. General Jericho already had a new Revenge-class battleship as the flagship, so four Iron Duke-class battleships arrived in the Mediterranean under the command of Major General Duff.

These four battleships are the Iron Duke, Marboro, Benbao and the Indian Emperor. Together with these super fearless, there are three former dreadnoughts with nearly one and a half dozen former dreadnoughts...

At present, the British fleet is deployed in this way. The former Dreadnought Detachment went south and joined with the former Dreadnought Detachment detachment in France to support the landing operations of the French Army in Turkey, while the four Iron Duke-class super dreadnoughts were deployed in Athens, the capital of Greece. Both the British and French chose to stay away from the combat range of the Luftwaffe. They did not have detailed data on the combat radius of the newly commissioned K-6 bombers in Germany, but they could also launch a rough idea based on their own FB27 bombers. The British believed that exposing the precious Super Dreadnought to the Aegean Sea was too dangerous for them.

As for the former dreadnoughts? This is also dangerous, but how to say it, it is not heartbreaking to sink a ship, and there is always someone to do fire support, right? So these former dreadnoughts were concentrated in the above-mentioned areas. However, in order to minimize the threat from the Luftwaffe, Britain and France established air bases on Chios Island and dispatched 6 fighter teams there to provide cover for the former dreadnoughts there, and also provide air reconnaissance.

Basically, the Shanghai Army was deployed like this. In addition to the fleet, there were also a large number of transport ships gathered near the above three islands. According to the French plan, they had to open two landing sites in total. One was to set off from Lesvos Island, enter the Edremit Bay, and occupy the coastal city of Edremit. The other was to set off from Chios Island, cross the narrow strait, and land directly at the opposite Cheshme, and then occupy the important Turkish port city Izmir from land!

So far, at least 40,000 French troops have been transported to Chios and Lesvos Island. If the naval personnel, air force personnel and Greek auxiliary personnel on the island are included, the total number of troops may reach more than 110,000. It is no exaggeration to say that these two islands are a large barracks!
