"Then let me know, but it's too late, I mean, whatever the situation on the Austro-Hungarian side. We're all going to go out and see, we've been here for so long that the decks of the battleship are covered with moss! The Earl said.

In fact, he also had an idea, the Hippel fleet, which was the same strength as his own fleet, made a big news, and the Scheer fleet, which was stronger than himself, made a bigger news. Su Xiong, who is weaker than himself, actually made 2 big news in the Indian Ocean! Soon after the start of the war, he received the title of Lieutenant General of Blood Donation, and then drew the queen in 2v2. The Count thinks he's not bad. At that time, the commander of the capital ship detachment of the High Seas Fleet was on a par with Scheer and Hipper, what kind of thing is Su Xiong? Pull it into the fleet, at most, it is the deputy of the fleet. And now? Shame on you! The Count hides his face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I can assure that after this loss of the French, it will be difficult for our submarines to find such an opportunity again, and the Japanese will soon return, and by that time we will not be able to face a fully 10 dreadnought and ultra-dreadnought Allied navies, rather than sit on our own. Why don't we give it a go? This is already the closest we can get to victory! The Count leaned forward slightly with his hands on the table. Like a lion ready to hunt. Comes with a shocking aura!

"So do you still have the cruiser with you?" Colonel Milenkovic asked.

"Don't bring it first, their speed is too slow, it will drag down the fleet, we just need to bring destroyers." The Count pondered for a moment and asked, "Any other questions?" ”

"Nope." The crowd replied.

"Alright, let's do it now!" The Earl said confidently. "And if I'm not mistaken, it seems that Crown Prince Ruprecht is also in Vienna now? Say hello to me on telegram. "The whole meeting didn't last long, and it took more than half an hour to assign tasks, prepare, and set sail. By the dawn of the day, the Count's fleet had already passed through the Sea of Marmara and the Dardanelles into the Aegean Sea! (The count's fleet was not deployed in Constantinople at this time, but in the Sea of Marmara near the strait)

When a red sun rose over the sea, the Count's four capital ships were sailing in a single formation in the direction of Crete, and next to them were 12 destroyers. When the sun finally jumped out of the sea, it suddenly shone with golden light, covering the entire fleet of battleships with a layer of golden light, accompanied by the refraction of the seawater, a halo of real and illusory light shrouded the sea!

"Today's weather is so good, it's a good time to have a good fight." The Count stood on the bridge and looked at his fleet in the distance, and said ambitiously.

Although the action was hasty, the Count already had a rough plan for the upcoming battle, Castelli was not a suitable target, even if one capital ship was damaged, the French still had 3 super dreadnoughts and 2 dreadnoughts there, and the fighting strength was stronger, and there was also a detachment of armored cruisers on the nearby island of Andy Kihira, and another French fleet was deployed in the Gulf of Unya to the east, and rushed over by itself, so the French fleet in the Gulf of Unya could completely copy its own back path. So this kind of action is very risky, after all, no matter how fast the ship is, it can't be surrounded!

Therefore, the Earl's choice of targets is 2 Guba-class battleships and 6 Dandong-class battleships in the Gulf of Nya, the area of this bay is relatively large, and the French fleet is also scattered in it, as long as he moves fast enough, he can get some benefits before the other party reacts.

True, the Count did not intend to completely repel the French fleet at one move, because it was unrealistic, just as the prince also did not think that a decisive battle with the main force would break the situation in the North Sea. If the Count had focused on the French fearlessness and solitude, then there would have been no need to fight at all, because it would not have been possible to defeat it! 4V8, the number of other warships is several times that of you, hit a hair! Just as the prince would not put the target of the Great Fleet first, both sides chose to attack the weaker warships of the other side. As for the strongest part, if you can't take a face, don't take a face! I can't afford to mess with it.

Count Spee was not sure whether the French were indifferent, or if they were shrinking the fleet or doing anything else, and if all the pure-blooded dreadnoughts and super-dreadnoughts were concentrated, 7 dreadnoughts, plus a direct detachment of armored cruisers and a large number of destroyers, would still not be something the Count could afford to provoke. But it doesn't matter, as long as the French don't gather their entire fleet together, then they can always take advantage of coming out today!

"Teacher, if you plan to take a handful and leave, then this operation is not very difficult, but if you want to achieve our strategic goals, I'm afraid one time is far from enough. And will the Austro-Hungarian side cooperate with us? Lieutenant Colonel Luknar, who is a staff officer of the fleet and a student of Count Spee, said from the side.

"One action naturally can't work, it's just a prelude, and now it's a critical moment, how can you do it if you don't fight? This time I just hope to build our confidence with a win! Earl Spee said.

At the same time as Spee's fleet was killed, the French were also busy in a mess. And after a transport ship that tried to rush out of the harbor was blown into two ends directly by a mine with a loud bang, the French completely calmed down!

"All large ships stayed in place, and minesweepers immediately cleared the fairway! Clear the minefield that we have deployed as well. The Germans laid mines when they left again! "De. Vice Admiral La Perel commanded in a triumphant victory.

"Our situation seems to be terrible, how is the situation in the fairway? Can you still get out? The lieutenant general asked Rear Admiral Gaprat, commander of the 1st Battleship Detachment next to him.

"It's okay for a small boat, I'm afraid it's a little difficult for a big boat, and even if we can get out now, we can't use the hull to clear mines." The major general on the side said helplessly.

"So how long will it take for us to sweep out a passage? Also, what is the situation of the Normandy now? The lieutenant general asked.

"If we were to clear the original passage, I am afraid it would take two days, because we also have to deal with the shipwreck, and if we were to clear a passage from our own minefield, then it could take 15 hours, because in addition to the mines, we also have to remove obstacles and underwater anti-submarine nets." An officer next to him said.
