Chapter 1458： Plan (1/2)
Chapter 1458
”First of all, please allow me, on behalf of all officers and soldiers of the Mediterranean Fleet of the Allied Powers, to express my heartfelt thanks to Your Highness for your assistance and shelter.” After meeting Prince Ruprecht, Count Spey said gratefully.
This is definitely not just talking about it. Without the protection of the Tracer interceptor unit provided by the prince, in the last sudden attack by the British Air Force, the entire Mediterranean fleet of the Allied Powers had to smash and sink. The Air Fighter Detachment made every effort to provide protection for the fleet, reducing at least 70% of the British Air Force's attack power! The Allied Mediterranean Fleet can now have 4 super fearless ships left. It can be said that they are all thanks to the Prince!
After the battle, many materials, personnel, and equipment needed by the Allied Mediterranean Fleet were quickly transported to Romania and Turkey under the care of the prince. In short, now, the Mediterranean Allied fleet can escape this catastrophe, and has the current combat effectiveness, Ruprecht's factor is at least 60%!
”We are all serving the German Empire. The environment of the Allied Mediterranean Fleet is already the worst. If we can, we should provide more help and convenience to the fleet. Don't worry about it.” Rupp Recht said with a smile.
”Now, the situation on the entire battlefield has changed. Because the British unexpectedly abandoned the siege of the Dardanelles, the fleet has the ability to enter and exit the Mediterranean. I hope that this time the Allied Mediterranean Fleet can play an important role again. ”The prince said.
”The overall strength of the British and French fleets is far stronger than ours. There is no doubt that they are too scattered, and the most elite ultra-dreadnought fleet is still far away from the battlefield. If the fleet is organized for surprise attacks, the probability of our success is still very high. High.”
”If we attack Lesvos, if there is air cover, we can choose to attack during the day, enter the Mediterranean at dawn, and enter the position when the sun rises, whether it is attacking the port or the ship's berth. . But if you attack Chios, it’s best to do it at night, because it’s a bit far away, and I’m worried that the fighter’s **** radius may be problematic.”
Count Spey paused and then said: ”Of course, such an attack will have a very good effect the first time. If it strikes again, Britain and France may carry out some defensive arrangements, such as laying mines near the Dardanelles and dispatching mines. Submarine or disguised reconnaissance ship conducts investigation, then the risk of our next operation will be higher.”
”Well, that's right. It's very simple to get out of your opponent's hand. The difficult thing is how to contain and restrict your opponent for a long time!” The prince nodded, expressing his agreement with Count Spey's view. Judging from the current situation, what the prince naturally does not want to do is a one-off deal. The best strategy is to attack these two places for a long time and give blood to Britain and France. However, this plan is somewhat difficult from the current point of view.
Maybe some people say that it is OK to use a submarine to sneak attack? Naturally, it is possible, but here, submarines are not easy to use. British and French ships are mostly concentrated in ports. Minefields and mine nets are set up in these places. Torpedo attacks by ordinary submarines are not easy to work. There are many kinds of destroyers and torpedo boats on the sea. Even though these things are not easy to sink the submarine now, it is possible to prevent the submarine from attacking the transport fleet. The density of the opponent's destroyers in this sea area is a bit high.
