Chapter 982： Before the war (1/2)
”Then let me know, but the time is too late. I mean, no matter what the situation on the Austro-Hungarian Empire is. We have to go out and have a look. We have been here for too long. The deck of the warship is long. On the moss!” said the count.
In fact, he still had an idea. The Hipper fleet, which is comparable to his own fleet, made a big news, and the Scheer fleet, which was stronger than his own, made even bigger news. Su Xiong, who is weaker than himself, actually made two big news in the Indian Ocean! He won the title of Lieutenant General of Blood soon after the war, and then tied the Queen in 2v2. The earl thinks that his level is not bad. At that time, the commander of the main fleet of the High Seas Fleet was on a par with Scheer and Hipper. Wasn't Su Xiong still a prince? Pulled into the fleet, at best, is the fleet deputy. And now? Ashamed! The earl hides his face.
”Everyone, I can guarantee that after the French suffered a loss this time, it will be difficult for our submarines to find such an opportunity. The Japanese will return soon. At that time, we will not be able to face the full 10 fearless and super The fearless Confederate navy, instead of sitting alone and defending by that time. Why don't we fight? This is the closest we can get to victory!” The earl supported the table with both hands and leaned forward slightly. Like a lion ready to hunt. Comes with a shocking aura!
”Would you take the cruiser, then?” Colonel Milenkovic asked.
”Don't take it for now. Their speed is too slow and it will drag the fleet. We just need to bring the destroyer.” The count pondered for a while and asked, ”Any other questions?”
”Nothing,” everyone replied.
”Well, let's act now!” the earl said confidently. ”In addition, if I remember correctly, it seems that Crown Prince Ruprecht is in Vienna now? Please help me in the telegram to say hello.” The entire meeting did not last long, and it was only necessary to allocate tasks, prepare, and set sail. More than half an hour. At the beginning of the day, the Earl’s fleet had passed through the Marmara Sea and the Dardanelles and entered the Aegean Sea! (The Earl’s fleet was not deployed in Constantinople at this time, but in the Marmara Sea near the strait)
When a red sun rose from the sea, the four capital ships of the Earl were sailing towards Crete in a single formation. Beside them were 12 destroyers. When the sun finally popped out of the sea, it was suddenly golden light, covering the entire fleet of warships with a layer of golden light. Accompanied by the refraction of the sea water, a halo of real and magic shrouded the sea!
”Today's weather is really good, it's very suitable for a good fight.” The earl stood on the bridge and looked at his fleet in the distance, saying ambitiously.
Although the action has been hurried, the Earl has a general plan for the upcoming battle. Castelli is not a suitable target. Even if one battleship is damaged, the French still have 3 super fearless and 2 fearless there. , The combat strength is strong, and there is an armored cruiser detachment on the nearby island of Antikythera, and another French fleet is deployed in the Gulf of Honia to the east, and rushes over by itself, then in the Gulf of Honia. The French fleet can completely copy its own way. So this kind of action is very risky, after all, no matter how fast the speed is, it will not work if you are surrounded!
Therefore, the Earl’s goal is to choose the 2 Gupa-class battleships and 6 Dandong-class battleships in the Niah Bay. The area of this bay is relatively large. The French fleet is also dispersed and deployed in it. As long as you move fast enough, you can Before the other party reacted, he got some benefits.
