"If the other side could not deliberately lie, then I think the accuracy of this information will be very high, the submarine attack distance is very close, and the surface lighting at that time is good, and it is not difficult to confirm the results of the battle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoI don't think Admiral House would think that his subordinates deliberately lied about the military, right? With that, the prince looked at the commander of the Austro-Hungarian fleet on the side.

"Of course not, Captain Lerch is one of the few submarine commanders in the Austro-Hungarian Navy, and his experience and character cannot be questioned." Admiral House on the side said.

"So, you think it's a chance?"

"Ugh. If Count Spee decides to act, then I am willing to cooperate with the Allied Mediterranean Fleet, with Vice Admiral Negovan personally commanding the fleet and striving to join the Count. Admiral House felt that he was surrounded by the prince, and if he did not agree with this telegram, he would be a slap in the face, and if he did, he would have to command the fleet to the Aegean Sea to join Count Spee, and then hand over most of the Austro-Hungarian fleet to the Germans.

"Okay, so be it, anyway, this is His Majesty's order of the Emperor, I just need to do it, Prince Ruprecht is also very accomplished in naval warfare, he won't cheat us, right?" Thinking of this, Admiral House was a little resigned. The other party is reasonable, well-founded and responsible. I can't seem to say anything negative.

"I think we should ask the first-line generals, such as Count Spee, whether his fleet is ready to attack. If his fleet is not fit to attack, then we should not force him, don't you say? Tirpitz thought for a moment and said.

"No problem, we can send a telegram to inquire now." After speaking, the prince turned to Admiral House: "Your Excellency, tell your subordinates to prepare immediately before attacking, I am sure that Count Spee can't wait to draw the sword in his hand!" ”

"How did you guess?" Tirpitz asked. "You won't have already crossed us and contacted the Count directly, have you?"

"Of course, there was no contact in advance, Count Spee is a man of courage and responsibility, and he is not as conservative as you think." The prince didn't say anything. "Never put the thinking of an office worker on a real general."

At this moment, an officer walked in and delivered a telegram to the prince and the others, and when Tirpitz saw the telegram, his face changed suddenly, and expressions of surprise and bewilderment were mixed together on the wrinkled face. In the end, there was still a hint of redness and a hint of shame on his face.

"Your Royal Highness, there is no need to send a telegram, Count Spee has sent a telegram that his fleet is about to take action, and he hopes that the Austro-Hungarian navy can cooperate." Tirpitz handed the telegram to the prince not far away, and said with a ashamed face.

"The Count is still a little reckless, didn't he consider the situation of the Austro-Hungarian fleet? If Admiral House's fleet was not ready....... Tirpitz said with some confusion.

"First of all, the Count believes that the Austro-Hungarian fleet does not want to break through the blockade and fight with the German allies all the time, and secondly, if such a situation really arises, then the Count will act as always, because this opportunity is really rare!"

Count Spee got the news about two hours before the prince, and it was just after 5 a.m. when his subordinate, Rear Admiral Vilennik of Austria-Hungary, the captain of the fast battleship Prinz Eugen, woke up the sleeping Count Spee with a telegram from the UB-12 submarine.

"Immediately call a meeting of all the captains of fast battleships! Now, now, right now! The Count glanced at the telegram like a lion awake.

"Now?" Major General Vilennick said with some surprise.

"Of course! I've been waiting for this day for too long, I've been thinking of ways to break the deadlock, but I didn't expect that your country's submarines became the key to breaking the chain of blockade by the French! The Count patted the other man on the shoulder in a friendly way! Now that you've done a good job, it's time for us to act, and order the fleet to get ready to set sail! Auxiliary warships sweep the waters on the outskirts of the strait! ”

"And we haven't verified the accuracy of this message!" The Major General couldn't help but raise his voice.

"Shall we go out and find out? They won't be able to catch us anyway. "Count Spee said indifferently, as he said, if the intelligence is wrong, just go out for a cruise, it is difficult for the Germans to break through the Aegean blockade, but the French low-speed battleships want to catch the Count's fast battleships? Then let's wash and sleep.

This is how Count Spee understood the fighter. In a situation where it is difficult for the other party to keep themselves, it is always right to go out and run around if you have nothing to do, but what if you run into it? We are the navy, and we are going to gallop across the sea, not to fish in the harbor!

Ten minutes later, Count Spee, his own deputy, Captain Sultan Osman I of the Turkish Navy, Captain Melkel, and the Captain of the Reshadiye, von Fernandes. Colonel Leau, Commodore Pachna, Captain of the Prinz Eugen, and Captain Milenkovich, Captain of the Tegerhof, all came to the meeting room of Sultan Osman I.

"I think everyone has seen the intelligence, our comrades in the Adriatic helped us take out a French battleship and mine-lay the port, we are in a very good situation now, some of the French battleships will be temporarily trapped in the port, and in the face of 2 dreadnoughts and a group of Danton at another berth, I think we have an overwhelming advantage, considering some of the French warships on escort missions, the fleet they can now use in Crete is very limited, I think, this is an opportunity! An opportunity to break the deadlock, what do you think? The Count said succinctly.

"I agree, it's an opportunity." Colonel Melkel was the Earl's old partner, and when the Count was the captain of the ship, he was the Earl's gunner. When the Count was the commander of the detachment, he was the captain of the light cruiser detachment, and now, when the Count became a vice admiral, this guy finally became the captain of the capital ship, and his attitude towards the Earl's order was very clear, as long as the reason made sense, he would resolutely support it.

"Are we going to get in touch with Vienna? We would do well if they cooperated. Major General Villenier asked. He was the commander of the Austro-Hungarian fleet, so he thought he should be informed first.
