"So what is the reason?" Lieutenant General touched his chin and fell into deep thought. The arrival of the Japanese fleet was definitely an external cause that cannot be ignored. After all, the joining of two fast battleships, which are said to be more nb than the Queen, is enough to allow the Allied Fleet of the Mediterranean to block the Dardanelles in the east and the Adriatic Sea to the west. By then, the maritime power of the Allied Powers in the Mediterranean would really become an existing fleet.&1t;/p>

This reason is very valid. Then the Lieutenant General thought of another reason, "The Germans seemed to feel the French fleet's strength and the middle of the battle?" This is entirely possible. After all, it has been deployed in places with insufficient facilities for nearly two months. If you want to say that your fleet is full of blood and blue? That is definitely a brag! Look at the barnacles with a bottom of the capsized cruiser in the distance, which is more than ten centimeters thick, as well as the scale in the boiler and pipeline. You will know that the current fleet is far from the fleet that has just come out. And the sneak attack on his fleet's anchorage may have become the last reason for the Germans to make a quick decision to take action?&1t;/p>

Thinking of this, the lieutenant general also made it clear in his heart. After all, he even realized that the fleet was a little strong outside and the middle, and his combat power was only more than 70% normally. In addition, there was another fearless ship that was under the slightest, so it was understandable that the Germans were ready to move. The only thing they didn't expect was how decisive the other party was doing things... It was clean and neat and absolutely delayed. What could be done that night would never be delayed until the next day... It was a revenge! It was too decisive.&1t;/p>

To be honest, Lieutenant General de La Perel is really a little scared. Anyone is afraid of this kind of lifeless fighting style! He brought four fast battleships to fight night battles, probably this count dared to do it, right? I have to say that this extreme attack spirit makes people terrifying. If you really want to say which navy in the world can do it so resolutely, it is probably only the British Empire Navy back then. Why do you say that back then? Because the Royal Navy in the Sail Age did dare to fight, but the Royal Navy is now? It is enough to be successful, but the enterprising spirit is a little worse.&1t;/p>

If you want to say another navy that dares to fight, fight ruthlessly, and kills both jade and stone, there is really one, that is, the Japanese navy that has just risen in the Far East. Although it was a bumpy battle in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, the subsequent battle between the Philippines, the Russo-Japanese War, or the Bismarck Sea conflict that has just ended recently, is a classic battle! Both sides of the Philippine Navy were in an encounter, and the battle was so cruel, (just for the Americans)&1t;/p>

When the Russo-Japanese War broke out, the Japanese fleet's calculations against the Russians were simply accurate. This strategy and layout really made people terrifying. As for the Battle of Bismarck, although the scale is very small, it reflects the combat technology and fleet level of both sides. If it weren't for the Japanese battlecruiser's drag, the US fleet might have really lost all of them!&1t;/p>

(Well, now the British battle tour has become the best stakeholder. No matter what kind of naval battles, as long as the British battle tour participates, you can take the blame no matter the result, no matter how much you win or lose! If you win, you can't wipe out your opponent? Because the battle tour is not strong, as for losing, it's even more wrong for the British battle tour!)&1t;/p>

"Well, this time, the Japanese fleet will come soon, and the Mediterranean has fast warships to rely on. Let them deal with the Germans." Thinking of this, Lieutenant General De La Perel asked his subordinates to send a telegram to the domestic senior management, asking them to urge the Japanese Navy to act as soon as possible.&1t;/p>

"I hope, this time the Japanese Navy will not be as unbearable as the 6th Army!" The British battle patrol and the 6th Army of the Japanese became the "Sea 6 Double Bear" within the Agreement. This was avoided by all parties. For example, the British Navy has considered abolishing a simple battle cruiser detachment. On the one hand, it is because of the small number, and on the other hand, it cannot be defeated by anyone... As for the 6th Army of the Japanese? The French government clearly stated in a diplomatic note to the Japanese government that the current 6th Army of the Japanese is not suitable for combating on the European battlefield at all, and stated that if the quality of the subsequent troops is still so bad, the commission must be lowered...&1t;/p>

At this moment, a staff officer finally counted the war losses of France in this night battle. After seeing the war losses data, Lieutenant General de La Perel's face became even more gloomy. If it was the precursor of the heavy rain just now, it would have become the tranquility before the heavy rainstorm. He really didn't expect that the Mediterranean Fleet of the Allied Powers could cause such a huge loss in such a short time!&1t;/p>

The Dandong-class battleship Voltaire has completely overturned. Even if it can be salvaged, it has no value for repair. This ship has been completely lost. The Dandong battleship sinks to the bottom of the sea, and in theory there is still a possibility of repair. But it depends on whether the keel is seriously damaged.&1t;/p>

The other two Dandong-class battleships were also seriously damaged, almost all the main turrets were destroyed! They were either directly destroyed or affected, or they were injected with water from the ammunition depot. They didn't need to be repaired, so they just shoveled and started again. The power system was also severely damaged. It is estimated that at least half of the boilers and steam engines would have to be replaced when they went there. By the way, by the way, these two Dandong-class battleships could not operate on their own and could only drag them back. Judging from the current situation, it seems that the repair is not worth it.&1t;/p>

The Guba-class battleship USS France was sunk, and there were three 10,000-ton cruisers from the Second Armored Cruiser Detachment buried. In order to strike lightning, the French destroyer troops also boarded 11 destroyers! As for the battleship Paris that participated in the battle and the only two remaining Dandong-class battleships were also damaged to varying degrees. Paris lost nearly half of its main guns, and it is certain that the port was overhauled, and it is estimated that the time will not be shorter than 4 months!&1t;/p>

In addition to these regular warships, the losses of various transport ships and auxiliary ships were also very huge. More than 8 transport ships were completely sunk, three were burned, and the other four suffered serious losses. In this night attack, the Germans destroyed nearly 60,000 tons of civilian ships' transportation tonnage. As for the thousands of tons of food and daily necessities on it, tens of thousands of tons of coal and heavy oil, not to mention the war. After the end of the war, a sea of ​​fire in the sea with an average radius of ordinary kilometers was generated by shells igniting these heavy oils...&1t;/p>

The losses of warships and auxiliary ships made the French navy very sad, and the losses of personnel were even more heartbreaking, because of the suddenness of the attack, the brutal firepower of the German navy, and the ignited part of the sea surface, the four battleships were about 36oo people. After the battle, only more than 12oo people could be confirmed to survive, and the remaining 24oo people were either dead or dead without a complete body...&1t;/p>
