1478 The wind is surging 1

"It's really dangerous to hold the grass. If you are not careful, maybe we will encounter the Spee fleet!" The news that a British squadron was annihilated by the Spee fleet soon spread. The same thing was said, some people were happy and some were worried. The British were bad and killed 4 battleships, 2 cruisers and a large number of destroyers by the Allied fleet. However, for another French fleet, they were indeed very lucky. Just where the two sides had a battle distance of less than 30 kilometers, another French fleet was also heading north. The French Navy commanded Major General Senes, and he was commanding the second strong fleet here! There were three Dandong-class battleships under his command!

If Earl Spee knew that there was such a fat sheep not far from him, he would probably regret it. After all, the value of these three Dandong-class battleships is much stronger than the British parallel cargo team just now. Even the Dandong-class in this plane is OK, because like the Ladez-class battleships of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it replaced the double-connected 240mm cannon with a single-mounted 12-inch cannon. In this way, the side string firepower reaches 7 12-inch cannons, and the fire control system can keep up. It is not an exaggeration to call it fearless.

Major General Senes came a little later. When the battle between the Spe fleet and the British reached its final stage, the three Dandong-class battleships had just arrived. The distance between the two sides was about 25 kilometers at that time. If calculated based on the effective combat distance of no more than 10 kilometers at night, the French fleet would have to walk 15 kilometers, which is about 20 to 30 minutes before the opponent could be included in the range.

Major General Senes thought of going up and helping the British, but when he continued to get closer, the battle was over, and the scene of Count Spee's four super fearless volleys really scared Major General Senes! This is absolutely super fearless. In his opinion, the Germans had at least three super fearless crafts! When he went up, he was going to deliver vegetables. He also left a guard force when he discovered that the German fleet was attacking the port, so he could only watch the attack on the port by the Spee fleet. Major General Senes chose to keep a distance.

However, after this battle, Major General Senes finally confirmed the size of the German fleet, so in a telegram to Lieutenant General Lebris, he wrote. "This time the German fleet sent at least three super fearless ships, as well as about three former fearless ships, as well as a large number of destroyers and torpedo boats."

"Haha, the Germans actually dare to attack Chios?" Looking at the telegrams just obtained from various channels, the neurotic laughter of Lieutenant General Lebris rang out in the command tower of the Brestani. On the one hand, it was anger, and on the other hand, it was naturally surprised by the German fleet's actions.

"They really don't take us seriously!" Lieutenant General Lebres returned to the chart: "Since that's the case, then when you come, don't leave. If you just call a place and choose to go home, I naturally have no choice but to do anything to you, but now, when you come, don't leave."

"Send a newspaper to Sir Fisher and ask them how long it will take to come and make them faster, we block them at the exit of the Dardanelles Strait! Then make a break!" said Lieutenant General Lebres.

"It is difficult for us to catch the enemy at night, but if it is daytime, the Bavarian air force will definitely come to pick it up. In fact, the combat radius of Bavarian air force bombers is the battle of Bavarian air force bombers. We will fight the Spee fleet under the attack of the Luftwaffe bombs and torpedoes!" an officer said with some concern.

"It doesn't matter, Mitilini has at least 4 squadrons of fighter jets. They can completely help us block the first wave and then mobilize some aircraft from other places, at least it can weaken the strike capabilities of the Bavarian Air Force. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! We can solve the Mediterranean problem once and for all, and of course, we have to bear certain sacrifices." Lieutenant General Lebris said firmly.

"The French want to play big." After reading the telegram sent by the Frenchman in his hand, Sir Fisher handed it to the doctor and major general beside him.

"This time, from the number of surface warships, we almost have an absolute advantage. The German fleet should not have much ammunition, and the two fleets have 8 super fearless numbers. Even if the other side is 4 Bavarian-class battleships, they are definitely not our opponents." Major General Duff paused and continued: "The only question now is the Air Force. Are we capable of blocking the German bombers?" To be honest, the battle between the Bavarian bombers in the Gulf of Riga is subversive to the world's navy's understanding! With this battle example, no fleet dares to underestimate the strategic force of the Bavarian Air Force!

"This problem is not something we want to solve. We have informed General Trenchard of the positive situation. He is responsible for the transfer of the air force. Before dawn, they will give us a reply!" Sir Fisher felt awkward in his heart. If the Royal Navy did not have its own air force, it would be a bit difficult to adapt!

"So what about us now?" asked Major General Duff.

"Of course, we accelerated our reunion with the French. Not only us, we ordered other fleets to move quickly to designated locations," said Sir Fisher.

At this moment, in addition to the two teams commanded by Lieutenant General Lebres and Sir Fisher, there were at least 4 fleets rushing to the battlefield from different directions. If the former dauntless battleships in these fleets were included, there would be at least one dozen former dauntless battleships and more than ten thousand tons of armored cruisers! As time went by, the entire northern Aegean Sea was covered by dense radio waves, and the number of active radio stations reached an unprecedented peak. Not only the warships at sea, but also the radio stations belonging to the Allied Air Force also began to operate at full speed!

"Your Highness, Earl Spee seems to be in trouble." Kariput sent the latest telegram to the prince. "The British and French fleets decided to encircle the Earl fleet at all costs, and their air force was activated. Judging from the current situation, it may not be enough for us to be a single air force." Although the air force's strike effect is good, think about it, there are more than 20 fearless and former fearless fleets on the sea, as well as a large number of cruisers and destroyers, as well as at least 100 British fighters to provide cover. This is not something a Bavarian Second Air Force can eat!
