Overall, Earl Spee's situation is the worst. The fleet is at a disadvantage and is limited to the narrower Eastern Mediterranean area. The logistics of not supplying is a bit bad. Although Suxiong's Port of Fao is not good, there are only 2 ships, while Earl Spee has 4. And Suxiong only needs to face the British main battleships that occasionally come over. In the Mediterranean, the French fleet goes up almost three times a week! The pressure is not too great!&1t;/p>

"I always feel that if the Allies want to take action, they will choose me first." Earl Spey, who was under great pressure, wrote in a telegram to Prince Ruprecht.&1t;/p>

"I think so, and it's probably soon." The prince wrote very simply in his call to the count.&1t;/p>

"Damn it, when, what should I do?"&1t;/p>

"Prepare for a big fun first. I'm thinking about it. You can't solve this problem. I want the Emperor and I to come forward." The prince sighed after just writing this telegram, thinking to himself, "Student Spee, why is the most miserable person always the one you are in history or present?"&1t;/p>

Let’s not talk about it in history. Earl Spey, who led the Far East Fleet, was surrounded by the British and Japanese fleets, and finally hated the Falkland Islands. Although it is better than in history, he is blocked at home all day long, and then he may face the attack of the other side’s sea.&1t;/p>

Earl Spee's concerns make sense. From the perspective of strategic situation, Earl Spee's overall supply situation is the worst, the space to deal with is the smallest, and the fleet gap is also very large. Three unfavorable conditions account for three! It is the weakest link in the strategic chain of the entire allied countries, and the cost of breaking through is also the lowest! Because in the North Sea, the British wanted to break through and defeat the high seas fleet first. Look at the 15-inch muzzle of the Bavarians, and the British felt a little weak. Although the Suxiong fleet in the Indian Ocean is not strong, they are sloppy. The entire Indian Ocean pursues Suxiong, and even counts the Atlantic Ocean, which is not very difficult.&1t;/p>

Only the Mediterranean! Earl Spee can't beat it and run away. Not to mention the main ship, the Earl's headache when he thinks of the opponent's 10,000-ton armored cruiser and 6 Dandong ships. This thing is acting with the main ship. If you dare not run, wait for the deck to be washed by high-explosive bombs! Although it cannot hurt the core area, just passing the bullet rain is enough to let the battleship return to the dock for three months. It is not that the injury is too serious, but that the conditions in Turkey are too poor!&1t;/p>

Recalling the telegram from the agreement recently intercepted, Russia strongly demands that Britain and France take a large-scale offensive on the Mediterranean defense line in order to open up the passage to the Black Sea. As a time traveler, the prince can be sure that Britain and France will definitely take this offensive, and depending on the situation, it will probably be larger than in history! Because Britain and France can now obtain a large amount of support from the Japanese 6th Army cannon fodder and navy!&1t;/p>

The prince has reviewed Hans von Seckert's battlefield report and summary. The situation is not as expected. In the face of the first-class European army, the Japanese, who were backward in tactical thinking and poorly equipped, were indeed defeated. However, this is just the beginning. With the improvement of equipment and the baptism of a long time of war, even the first pig can evolve into a wild boar!&1t;/p>

Moreover, from the performance of the Japanese Navy, the prince also felt that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese joint fleet was a little hot. The Japanese fleet came to the North Sea, which would bring some trouble to the prince. Because the Japanese fleet is also the main fast warship, the main battleship is very strong. If it goes to the Mediterranean, it would probably bring more than trouble to Earl Spee! It is possible to be severely damaged. And if the Battle of Dardanelles is carried out, if something happens, the Black Sea channel will be opened, then it will be devastating for the strategy of the Allies! Imagine if Russia obtains sufficient weapons, its combat effectiveness will be improved by several levels!&1t;/p>

Therefore, no matter from any aspect, if there is no problem in the domestic coordination of the Alliance, whether at sea or on the 6th, the next breakthrough will definitely be in the direction of the Mediterranean! Although the Battle of Dardanelles in history failed, this thing is attributed to the Allies who are not prepared enough and underestimated the enemy to 40%.&1t;/p>

There is no perfect strategic plan, various tactics and other problems, and all the mistakes that can be made have been made! But the prince doesn't know what will happen to this plane. Based on the principle of lenient observation of the enemy, the prince needs to make Turkey and Spee's fleet better prepare! If necessary, the Bavarian Legion will probably put Russia first, transfer some of its troops to the Balkans, and then open a 6-up channel to Turkey.&1t;/p>

This is an opportunity for the Allies to break the deadlock, and the same is true for the prince! After all, it is quite difficult to engage in a large-scale 6 battle, and it is an opportunity to reduce the pressure on other fronts. The preparations for the 6th can be a little later, after all, the Balkan countries are too cheap. It is not difficult to fight. It takes a long time for the British and French troops to draw hundreds of thousands of troops, but the preparations for the navy should be as early as possible. It seems that at this time, the prince still needs to find his father-in-law.&1t;/p>

Thinking of this, Ruprecht wrote another letter to the German Emperor. The content was very simple, giving Tirpitz time to come to Prague and then go to Vienna with him. Some things should be said, and by the way, Fritz agreed to the Austro-Hungarian fleet to rush out of the Adriatic Sea to join Count Spee. All he could do now is this. For Count Spee, he might get an extra battleship or he might also get himself in. It depends entirely on his operation and luck!&1t;/p>

"When will the British and French fight in the Mediterranean?" Tirpitz asked when he came to Prague to meet Prince Ruprecht.&1t;/p>

"After the Japanese fleet arrives in the Mediterranean, they will take action! They will completely compress the Count's fleet to the Black Sea and then start preparing to fight 6." The prince replied very simply.&1t;/p>

"So we have to convince Emperor Fritz to agree to our plan before the Japanese fleet arrives in the Mediterranean, and Count Spee must take over the Austro-Hungarian fleet and break out of the Adriatic Sea?" Tirpitz asked.&1t;/p>

“That’s how it is.”&1t;/p>

"Then what warships will the Japanese fleet send? What if they choose the Indian Ocean first?"&1t;/p>

"I really don't know this, because we don't know if the Japanese will have other actions when sending fleets into Europe. As for operating in the Indian Ocean, it would be great. Let them slowly find Su Xiong." The prince said.&1t;/p>
