"First of all, please allow me to express my sincere thanks to His Highness for your assistance and asylum, on behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the Allied Mediterranean Fleet." Earl Spey said with gratitude after seeing Prince Ruprecht.

This is definitely not just a saying. If there is no protection from the Tracer Interceptor Team provided by the prince, the entire Allied Mediterranean Fleet would have fallen into the sand in the last surprise attack by the British Air Force. The Tracer Fighter Teams temporarily dispatched did their best to provide protection for the fleet, reducing at least 70% of the British Air Force's attack power! The Allied Mediterranean Fleet can now have 4 super fearless ships left. It can be said that they are all blessed by the prince!

After the battle, many of the materials, personnel and equipment needed by the Allied Mediterranean Fleet were quickly transported to Romania and Turkey under the care of the prince. In short, now, the Mediterranean Allied Fleet can escape this disaster and have the current combat effectiveness. Ruprecht's factor is at least 60%!

"We are all serving the German Empire. The environment in which the Allied Mediterranean Fleet is originally the harshest. It is also necessary to provide more help and convenience to the fleet within our ability, and don't take it to heart." Ruprecht said with a smile.

"Now, the situation on the entire battlefield has changed. Because the British unexpectedly gave up the siege of the Dardanelles, the fleet has the ability to enter and exit the Mediterranean Sea. I hope that this time, the Mediterranean fleet of the Allied Kingdom can play an important role again." The prince said.

"The overall strength of the British and French fleets is far stronger than that of us, and there is no doubt that they are too scattered, and the most elite super-dreadless fleet is still far away from the battlefield. If we organize a fleet to conduct a raid, our probability of success is still high."

"If we attack Lesvos, if there is air cover, we can choose to attack during the day, enter the Mediterranean at dawn, and enter the position when the sun rises, whether it is attacking ports or ship berths. But if we attack Chios, it is best to do it at night because it is a little far there, and I am worried that the escort radius of the fighter may be problematic."

Earl Spee paused and continued: "Of course, this attack will be very effective for the first time. If you attack again, Britain and France may make some defensive arrangements, such as laying mines near the Dardanelles, sending submarines or camouflaged reconnaissance ships for reconnaissance, then the risk of our next action will be greater."

"Well, that's right. It's very simple to get out and get rid of the opponent. The difficulty is how to restrain and limit the opponent for a long time!" The prince nodded, expressing his agreement with Earl Spee's view. Judging from the current situation, the prince naturally does not want to do a one-time deal. Being able to attack these two places for a long time to bleed Britain and France is the best strategy. However, from the momentum, this plan is somewhat difficult.

Maybe some people say it is okay to use submarines to attack sneak attacks? Of course, it is OK, but here, submarines are not easy to use. Most British and French ships are concentrated in ports, and minefields and lightning protection nets are set up in these places. The torpedo attacks of ordinary submarines are not easy to work. There are many various destroyers and torpedo boats on the sea surface. Even if these things are not easy to sink submarines now, it is OK to hinder submarines from attacking transport fleets. In this sea area, the density of the opponent's destroyers is really a bit high.

"We should continue to expand the defensive minefields to expand the space for activity. If the Allies' Mediterranean Fleet is used as bait, can we attract the British and French fleets and then rely on the air force to severely damage the opponent? Just as the Bavarian Air Force did in the Gulf of Riga," asked Earl Spee.

"If the Air Force passes the transition and reduces the amount of ammunition, it is still possible to cover the French's forward base, but this attack is not enough. We know that the amount of ammunition dropped by all Bavarian bombers at this distance may not be as large as the ammunition of all main guns of a battleship. (8 artillery pieces, each with 150 rounds of ammunition is provided...)"

"So, we still need the help of naval naval guns, and the fighter troops of the six squadrons deployed here by Britain and France are also very annoying. They are distributed in two airports. If the bombers want to operate, it is best to unplug these two places."

"The first operation must be as severe as possible to hit the opponent, because this is the weakest and most unprepared time for the opponent! We may not have such a good opportunity in the future, so we must do our best. The Bavarian Air Force and the Mediterranean Fleet must work together." The prince said.

"Then we may need to formulate a night attack plan. Using the cover of night, my fleet can attack the airport and berth other shore facilities. By day, we have cleared most of the obstacles and bombers can enter the field to attack targets. However, I hope the latter will mainly attack ships and transport ships, which will be more efficient. As for the lightning protection nets of Britain and France? Don't worry, we will drive them out of the port like a wolf attacking a flock of sheep."

"If the Air Force can guarantee the air supremacy above our heads and can shock the British and French fleets, then the four battleships can completely shoot out all the thousands of tons of shells they carry!" Then, Earl Spey pointed the French frontier position with his hand, "This will become hell!"

"This plan is very tempting, isn't it?" Ruprecht nodded to Earl Spee's plan and expressed his agreement. The British did not expect that the Allied Mediterranean Fleet had recovered two-thirds of their strength. Otherwise, they would not have deployed the Super Dreadnought Fleet in the Athens area far from the landing field. The French were the same. They placed their precious warships on Crete. There was only one opportunity like this, and they would have lost it if they were used!

"If this is the case, will we wait for the time being and wait until the French are about to launch landing operations?" Lieutenant General Harrell, who is in charge of the Air Force, also attended the meeting. After hearing about the operation with the Air Force, he thought that if the French gathered more, would this effect be better?

"When a landing occurs, a large number of people and supplies will board the ship. Our just-in-time torpedo attack or a shell in the Earl's fleet can cause them a heavy blow, and we can prepare for a longer time. We can add a temporary airport for K-6 bombers to take off and land, and the Earl's fleet may have an additional battleship."
