This is not only to take care of the psychology of the pilots participating in the war, but more importantly, if it is rebuilt, for a considerable period of time, these pilots will no longer have to participate in the battle, so they can be used as seeds to support new troops, and if they are dispersed to other participating units, it will really be consumed as cannon fodder, as for the problem of insufficient combat effectiveness of the air force? In the opinion of Lieutenant General Trenchard, it is better to cancel the Battle of the Dardanelles, otherwise I don't know how many aviation elites will be consumed in this bottomless pit!

"What do you think about what's next? Pen Fun Cabinet www.biquge.info This is a report to His Excellency Churchill, you can read it, and if there are no objections, I will send him out today. At this time, Vice Admiral Steddy, the representative of the Navy next to him, asked.

"Sink 2 fast battleships and inflict heavy damage on the other 2?!" Lieutenant General Trenchard looked at the results column on the battle report, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly. Vice Admiral Trenhard's assessment is not only to read the battle report, but also has a strong analytical ability, the two sunken ships are two in Constantinople, and the other heavily damaged fast battleship is the Reshadier in the Battle of Herreli. Considering the size of the C group and the interceptions encountered, and considering the remaining ammunition, he was not convinced that a single-digit bomber could inflict heavy damage on a fast battleship and an armored cruiser at the same time.

"The flagship of the Russian High Seas Fleet was destroyed at Kerch by two German fast battleships. The fleet of Count Lukner, who was supposed to go north to Romania, only one armored cruiser arrived, and the Suman Ottoman I was not encountered at sea, so we thought that the ship must have been heavily damaged. Lieutenant General Stedi said.

"Is there anyone else who is so sure of the results? It was an eye-opener. There was a hint of sarcasm in Lieutenant General Trenhard's words.

"The Russian Black Sea Fleet is over, and it can be expected that if the Imperial Navy does not intervene, then in the future the Black Sea and the Balkans will soon fall. And we need a reason to intervene now. Lieutenant General Stedi said. Obviously, the lieutenant general also knows that this so-called confirmation of the results of the battle is watery, but in the eyes of the top management, they need a big victory as the basis for the next move, if the Allied Mediterranean Fleet is heavily damaged, then the subsequent battle of the Dardanelles can naturally be launched, and if it is not heavily damaged, then it will be difficult for Britain to pass this plan, and as long as it hesitates, Russia is really dangerous. After all, in the next year, the German Eastern Front Corps, which has already entered the state, is very likely to go deep into the interior of Russia! It is better not to occupy all the places, let Russia's internal resources be exhausted, and the economy and production will collapse on their own!

"What's more, you are not sure that the Germans must have lost only 3 fast battleships, right?" Finally, Lieutenant General Stedi asked rhetorically. Judging from the battle reports, the Suman Osman I is suspected of being hit. If a torpedo had been hit, it would have been possible to hit it hard. So on this issue, Lieutenant General Trenchard has no hard evidence to support his opinion, and to some extent, it is a good thing for the future development of the bomber force to achieve such results.

In the end, Vice Admiral Stedi's report was successfully sent to the British Admiralty, and after receiving this war report, Churchill and others got busy again! This time, however, Churchill's collaborator was no longer Sir Fisher, who had resigned, and Henry Murphy. Jackson took the latter's place and was ambitious to find a break in the region except the North Sea. But even then, after seeing the huge losses of the Royal Air Force, it was taken aback!

"Having lost 88 bombers in the First World War, more than 500 crews, I can guarantee that those in the air force will never dare to carry out such an operation again!" Jackson shook his head.

"But we've done it all, haven't we? Well, although this time we also caught up with the Russian Black Sea Fleet, our advantage has been formed, the Allied Mediterranean Fleet can use only 2 fast battleships, only 1 quasi-dreadnought battleship remains, and 1 armored cruiser, the French and Japanese fleets can steadily suppress the opponent, and our large number of former dreadnoughts can definitely complete ground support operations, we can choose to land in the Dardanelles, or we can push directly from Greece. ”

Churchill was at most sympathetic to the loss of the Air Force, and in addition to sympathy for the loss of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, there was some schadenfreude, and the Russians who lost the Black Sea Fleet were afraid that there would be no surprises in the future on the question of the ownership of Constantinople, right? Churchill, the standardist of the British Empire, said in his heart.

"Greece has decided to be on our side?" Jackson said with some surprise.

"Of course, when the French and Japanese fleets once again appeared in the Mediterranean, they had no choice! Going to the side of the victor was the only option for the Greeks, and I don't think it would be naïve enough to hope that the king would fail to see the situation clearly. Churchill said with some smugness.

"That means we don't even need to send Super Dreadnought, and the Franco-Japanese fleet alone will be enough to deal with Count Spee's Allied Mediterranean Fleet?" Jericho on the side seemed to feel like he had grasped the point.

"In the face of the Spey fleet with only two super dreadnoughts left, the French are enough, not to mention the help of the Japanese fleet, our super dreadnoughts should stay in the North Sea to deal with the Germans, I have contacted the French side, and they said that for the time being, there is no need for dreadnoughts and above warships, and it is good to provide sufficient land support firepower, and for us, it doesn't matter if the Straits Fleet draws one or two detachments of former dreadnought battleships, isn't it?" Churchill was in an unusually good mood today.

"If that's the case, that's great." Jericho nodded in agreement, and had to say that maybe this loss was enough to hurt Vice Admiral Trenchard's bomber troops, but for the Allied Mediterranean Fleet, this blow was really ruthless!

The two fast battleships in Constantinople will not have much combat effectiveness in the foreseeable future. The same is true of the Reshadiere, even if the intelligence of the British is biased, but the Count of Spee can only use 3 fast battleships! And in the face of the entire French fleet and the two Japanese Fuso-class battleships, it is really impossible to fight this pull-out, at least for half a year, the Allied Mediterranean Fleet does not have the ability to resist the opponent head-on! (at least that's what the British thought) and for Churchill and others, this time was enough time for the Anglo-French coalition to push off Constantinople!
