Half of the people died in battle on the USS France, about 5oo. After the three armored cruisers were killed, the number of people who died in battle and disappeared reached 1ooo. When nearly a dozen destroyers were sent, more than 7o people died in battle! In addition, the losses of personnel on auxiliary ships and other warships, the number of people who died in battle reached more than 5ooo! Set a record of the largest loss of personnel in a single battle in the history of the French Navy!&1t;/p>

These people are not the 6th Army's local buns. They can get to the battlefield after training with a gun for a few weeks. These are all navy! The preciousness of life is second only to the Air Force! More than 5 ooo people died in one go. Looking at the loss list of a large number of personnel, Admiral de La Perel felt his heart was bleeding!&1t;/p>

If you have to say that the losses are huge, the British Royal Navy really sent too many. Once the three fearless and one fearless battlecruiser sinks, they sent about 35oo more lives. The war sinks of two fearless battleships cost about 8oo more lives. The average light cruiser lost one dozen cruisers, and no cruiser died or disappeared on average, about 12o people were missing. This is more than 14o people! In addition to more than 20 destroyers, nearly 1ooo people were sent to the altar of the God of War. In the end, the Royal Navy died and disappeared. There were about 7ooo people!&1t;/p>

However, the Royal Navy's size and personnel reserves are more than twice that of the French?! The Royal Navy, which lost more than 7 ooo, said that it was even more heartbroken by the losses of the warships. The French lost 5 ooo naval officers and soldiers, which was really painful to the core! (The Hippel fleet also caused huge damage to British naval personnel, but because many of them were recruited reserve personnel, there was still some gap with the front-line personnel.)&1t;/p>

As for how much the Allied Navy lost? The French could confirm that the losses were about 9 destroyers. As for the main battleships? It seems that maybe? Probably not one?! Maybe it felt that the result of this battle was too tragic, or too unreasonable, La Perel decided to add a sentence to the final battle report: "One of the Allied Express Battleships severely damaged, and the other two suffered moderate damage."&1t;/p>

Although it was a storm, La Perel's report was quite conscientious this time. In fact, the German destroyer sank a total of 7 ships. Although Prince Eugen ran fast enough, the measures were effective. However, because the opponent had too many pipes, God could not do anything to face the side with more ships and more guns. Therefore, although Prince Eugen had moderate injuries, it would take some time to fully recover its combat effectiveness. In addition, Reshadiller was more unlucky, which could be considered slander. A main gun turret of Tegerhof was damaged, which was also considered slander.&1t;/p>

However, no matter how Lieutenant General writes, it cannot change the fact. First, the Allied High Seas Fleet did not suffer too much irrecoverable damage. Second, although the fleet is not very good, it still has the power to fight. When thinking about this later, Lieutenant General La Perel felt very weak. Although the French fleet is still stronger than the Earl of Spee, what if the Austro-Hungarian fleet rushed out of the Adriatic Sea and came with Spee's Fleet at this time? You must know that their ships are all slow ships! Once bitten, even if they can escape, they will suffer heavy losses!&1t;/p>

There is only one safest way, just take the fleet back to Alexandria. There are at least mine formations, shore artillery, and relatively complete facilities outside the port, which can restore blood and defend while defending. In the current situation, the French fleet dare not leave Crete easily. If it wants to leave, there will be only one final result for these warships that are sinking in the sea and unable to move. They will be taken away by the German fleet who visited here again with a few torpedoes... For the current French fleet, throwing all these damaged warships is undoubtedly a waste of martial arts!&1t;/p>

If you continue to stay here, then once the Austro-Hungarian fleet and the Spe fleet merge, it is possible that the entire Mediterranean warship will collapse. After all, after the convergence, all the Allied fleets will have 6 fast battleships, 2 quasi-fair and several armored cruisers, and their main battleships may even be inferior to those of the opponent. Although there are two teams of former dreadnoughts in the local area, these warships are a bit far from Dandong. Not to mention being too old, their combat power is also very low, and it is not very useful to pull it out.&1t;/p>

In the end, Lieutenant General De La Perel made such a decision. The main force of the fleet was still shrunk in Crete, but at the same time, the submarines were deployed in the Adriatic Sea and the Dardanelles. The destroyers acted as warning forces. If the German fleet in both directions took action at the same time, they would immediately choose to retreat to Alexandria or evacuate locally.&1t;/p>

As for why they didn't take the initiative to attack and defeat each one? Because the opponent is basically a fast fleet. Although the two quasi-fareless fleets in the Austro-Hungarian fleet are not high, they are better than the French fleet that has been deployed for a long time and lack maintenance. According to the report just now, the average flight of the French fleet may be only about 18 stages, and the Austro-Hungarian fleet is still more than 20 knots in the same way! So I can't catch up with others at all. If I leave by myself, then Earl Spee will arrive, then the "wounded soldiers" in Crete will be solved in minutes!&1t;/p>

Now all the French fleet can do is wait. Before the Allies take the next action, the Japanese fleet can immediately arrive at the Mediterranean. Once there are two fast battleships, the French will be afraid of nothing. Whether it is to divide the troops to block the Austro-Hungarian fleet and the Spe fleet, or fight, it is OK! Fight at will! The strategic situation in the Mediterranean will directly return to the Spe fleet's sneak attack, which is even better than that time!&1t;/p>

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General La Perel sent another telegram to the British, asking them to put pressure on the Japanese with the French government and at the same time assisting the Japanese to come to the Mediterranean as soon as possible. In this telegram, his impetuous mood was beyond words.&1t;/p>

"The Germans seem to have realized that their doomsday in the Mediterranean is coming, so they took crazy actions before our fleets meet! Unfortunately, for some personal reasons, the German fleet's actions were successful. The war situation in the Mediterranean has undergone a huge change, and the Allies have obtained an opportunity to expel us from the Eastern Mediterranean. Once they realize this plan, the route from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean will be completely cut off, and our plan to open the passage to Russia will become far away, and the Balkan allies and potential allies will collapse under the pressure of the Allies! Therefore, I hope that your government will urge or even order the Japanese to fulfill their obligations in any case!"&1t;/p>
