"Your Highness, this is news from the Mediterranean Fleet, which has been under heavy attack by the British Air Forces at the same time since half past seven this morning in Constantinople, Ereli and Bulgaria, and the Russian Black Sea Fleet has also taken the opportunity to launch an attack At least two of our fast battleships have been heavily damaged so far. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Your Highness, the interceptor aviation deployed by the Bavarian Air Force in Constantinople was intercepted, both sides suffered heavy losses, and so far the fleet of Count Luknall has confirmed the loss of 1 armored cruiser."

"The fleet of Count Spee, located in Ereli, withstood the flanking attacks of the British and Russians with the support of the aviation forces, and almost completely annihilated the Russian Black Sea Fleet, and the Count has decided to continue the pursuit."

A telegram was soon forwarded from Constantinople to the port of Kiel. And after ten hours of work, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., the prince finally had a general understanding of the battle that took place thousands of kilometers away.

"It seems that Count Spee's fleet has suffered heavy losses, and when the French and Japanese fleets enter the Eastern Mediterranean again, then Count Spee will probably have to hide in the Black Sea. It's a bit of a bad situation, and it can lead to some bad decisions from neutral countries in the Balkans. Tirpitz on the other side put down his eyes, rubbed his temples and said in frustration.

"It was indeed unexpected, I would have thought that the British would have dropped their bombs on Wilhelmshaven first. This did surprise me. The Count made no mistakes. The prince also put down the pen in his hand and said.

"This, we have finally lost 3 fast battleships, and the 2 fast battleships in Constantinople may not be able to enter the battle this year, Your Majesty is very angry." Tirpitz said carefully. As an old fritter, he had already heard from the prince's words just now that he was shirking responsibility for Count Spee.

"We did despise the Balkan theater of operations, and in the face of the British bombers and the Russian Black Sea Fleet, we were able to take out the Black Sea Fleet and keep half of the ships in the face of British bombers and Russian Black Sea Fleet, I think this is a credit rather than a fault, and I will explain this to the Kaiser, and I do not want too many rumors to spread within the Admiralty until the dust settles. That's it. "The prince has no interest in dwelling on this issue, and he is not simply excusing Count Spee, but because it is indeed not easy for the Count to do this level, and the great war is about to begin, if there is a temporary change of generals at this time, it will definitely not be a good thing for the Mediterranean Fleet!

"So what to do with the Mediterranean Fleet now? We can't leave those ships alone, and the conditions in Turkey are just too bad. Tirpitz asked.

"Didn't we already occupy the Romanian port of Constanta? It was said that the port was not bad, and that the remaining warships should be concentrated here, and the relevant departments should draw up a plan to provide the Mediterranean Fleet with the necessary personnel and material equipment, first repair the three lightly damaged battleships, and then consider transporting some small submarine parts by rail. We need to deploy more submarines in the Mediterranean and Black Seas, and at the same time telegraph Prince Leopold to arrange air defense in the surrounding areas. The prince thought for a moment and said.

It is unrealistic to want to repair all the capital ships, now first ensure the combat effectiveness of the three battleships in relatively good condition, and then repair the Reshadier if it is convenient, and the remaining two heavily damaged Austro-Hungarian fast battleships will be salvaged with pontoons first, and then Constantinople will be repaired to see if it can be towed to the port of Constanta. This repair was a long-term process, and there was no urgency, and the submarine was crucial to the Battle of the Dardanelles, and several previous intrepids of the British and French forces were killed by submarines in history. For this kind of small investment and big results, the prince must do.

"By the way, one more point, replenish the Turks with some mines, these things are also necessary for defense. In addition, by sending 2 more squadrons of interceptors and 2 squadrons of fighters to replace the squadrons of scimitars and night sickles, we will ensure that the skies over Istanbul are as safe as possible. The prince finally added.

In this big war, the Bavarian Air Force achieved an amazing record of shooting down 88 aircraft of various types of the British Royal Air Force, while its own losses were also very heavy, although the power of the British machine guns was relatively small, but there were too many people, after a battle, the two squadrons lost 7 percent of the aircraft, most of which were shot down, the other part was forced to land because of the lack of fuel, and a small part was scrapped directly after flying back to the base. And the loss of personnel has also reached 4 percent! By general standards, these two squadrons can exit the battlefield and return to the rear.

However, the sky over Constantinople could not be unfortified, and to be honest, this bombing caused heavy losses to the Allied Mediterranean Fleet, and at the same time frightened the Turks, who thought that with the artillery batteries and mine arrays in the Dardanelles Strait, they would be able to control the enemy, but these bombs falling from the sky broke the dreams of the Turks, and this panic had to be solved, and the Kaiser could not count on it at present, and the prince in charge of the Eastern Front had to pay out of his own pocket to help plug the hole ...... first.

"Contact His Majesty the Kaiser, there are some things I need to report back then, and it is best to meet within three days." The prince had a hunch that his plans for the Polish pocket would not go well. The Battle of the Dardanelles will follow the trajectory of history, and it may be even greater, after all, the British are carrying out this hand bombing is a very obvious signal, they intend to make a big news in the Balkans!

After arranging these things, the prince fell into deep thought, everything that was hastily arranged today was only a temporary plan, which could temporarily ensure the stability of the situation, but if he wanted to completely solve the problem here, he was afraid that it would not be easy. After the end of this battle, it may only be a matter of time before Greece throws itself into the arms of the Entente, not only because the British have made Greece more optimistic about the Entente because of the British muscle training, but more importantly, the British can make such a big move because of the support ...... Greece.

Greece joins the Entente to balance out the impact of Bulgaria's accession to the Central Powers. And if Britain and France plan to do something big, Turkey alone will not be able to stop it. The Bavarian Corps, according to the original plan, intended to besiege the five Russian armies in Poland after the beginning of spring.

"If the Polish pocket plan and the Balkan campaign were to be launched at the same time, it would be a bit of a problem!" The prince said in his heart.
