Chapter 1478 Stormy Storms One
1478 Chapter 1
"Hold the grass, it's really dangerous. If we're not careful, maybe we'll run into the Spey fleet!" The news that a British squadron was wiped out by the Spey fleet spread quickly. The so-called same thing, Some people are happy and some are sad. The British were hit by bad luck. They were killed by the Allied Fleet 4 battleships, 2 cruisers and a large number of destroyers. But for the other French fleet, it was really very lucky. At 30 kilometers away, another French fleet is also heading north. The commander of this fleet is Rear Admiral Senes of the French Navy, and he is commanding the second strongest fleet of the French Navy here! There are three Dandong-class battleships under his command!
If Earl Spey knew that there was such a fat sheep not far away from him, he would probably regret it. After all, the gold content of these three Dandong-class battleships is much stronger than that team of British parallel imports just now. The above Dandong class can be called a dreadnought, because it is the same as the Laditz-class battleship of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It replaces the double 240MM artillery with a single 12-inch artillery. In this way, the sidestring firepower is reached. There are seven 12-inch guns, and the fire control system can keep up. It is not too much to call it fearless.
Major Senes came a little later. When the battle between the Spey fleet and the British came to an end, the three Dandong-class battleships had just arrived. The distance between the two sides was about 25 kilometers at that time. If the effective combat distance of 10 kilometers is calculated, the French fleet will have to travel 15 kilometers, which means about 20 to 30 minutes to bring the opponent into the range.
It's not that Major General Senes didn't think about going up to help the British, but when he continued to approach, the battle was over, and the scene of Earl Spey's 4 super fearless salvos really scared Major General Senes! This is definitely a super dreadnought. In his opinion, the Germans have at least 3 super dreadnoughts! When I go up now, I will deliver food. When I found that the German fleet attacked the port, they also left a guard force, so I could only watch the attack of the Spey fleet on the port. Major General Senes chose to keep a distance.
However, after this battle, Major General Senes finally confirmed the size of the German fleet, so he wrote this in a telegram sent to Lieutenant General Le Bris. "This time the German fleet sent at least 3 super dreadnoughts, as well as about 3 pre-dreadnoughts, as well as a large number of destroyers and torpedo boats."
"Hehe, the Germans still dare to attack Chios Island?" Looking at the telegrams just obtained from various channels, Vice Admiral Le Bris' nervous laughter sounded in the command tower of the Brestani. On the one hand, it is angry, and on the other hand, it is naturally surprised by the actions of the German fleet.
"They really don't care about us!" Lieutenant General Lebris returned to the chart: "In this case, then come, don't leave, if you just hit one place and choose to go home , Of course I can't do anything with you, but now, come, don't leave."
"Send Sir Fisher how long it will take them to come,
Make them quick, we stop them at the exit of the Dardanelles! Then make a break! "Lieutenant General Lebris said.
"At night, it is difficult for us to capture the enemy, but if it is daytime, the Bavarian Air Force will definitely come to respond. In fact, Chios Island is within the combat radius of the Bavarian Air Force bombers. We will attack with bombs and torpedoes from the Luftwaffe Fight against the Spey fleet!" an officer said with some concern.
"It doesn't matter, Mytilene has at least 4 squadrons of fighter jets, they can completely help us block the first wave, and then mobilize some planes from other places, at least weaken the strike capability of the Bavarian Air Force, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity We can solve the Mediterranean issue once and for all, of course, we have to bear certain sacrifices." Lieutenant General Le Bris said firmly.
"The French want to play big." After reading the telegram sent by the French in his hand, Sir Fisher handed it to the doctor and major general beside him.
"This time, from the perspective of the number of surface warships, we almost have an absolute advantage. The German fleet should not have much ammunition, and the number of super dreadnoughts owned by our two fleets is 8, even if the opponent is 4 Bavaria-class battleships, It is definitely not our opponent." Major General Duff paused and continued: "The only problem now is the air force, whether we have the ability to block the German bombers?" Seriously, at the time when the Bavarian bomber force was in the Gulf of Riga A battle is subversive to the cognition of the world's navies! With this battle example, no fleet dares to underestimate the strategic force of the Bavarian Air Force!
"This problem is not for us to solve. We have reported the positive situation to Admiral Trenchard. He is in charge of the transfer of the air force. Before dawn, they will give us a reply!" Sir Fisher cried in his heart One is awkward, if the Royal Navy does not have its own air force, then it is really difficult to respond!
"So where are we now?" Major General Duff asked.
"Naturally, we should speed up to join the French, not only us, but also order other fleets to quickly move to the designated location." Sir Fisher said.
And at this time, apart from the 8 super-dreadnoughts commanded by Lieutenant General Le Bris and Sir Fisher, there are at least 4 fleets rushing to the battlefield from different directions. If it is a pre-dreadnought battleship, then at least have more than a dozen pre-dreadnought battleships and an armored cruiser of more than 10,000 tons! With the passage of time, the entire northern part of the Aegean Sea was covered by dense radio waves, and the number of active radio stations reached an unprecedented peak. Not only warships at sea, but also the radio stations belonging to the Air Force of the Allied Powers. Start running at full speed!
"Your Highness, Earl Spey seems to be in trouble." Caliput sent the latest telegram to the prince. "The British and French fleets have decided to block the earl's fleet at all costs, and their air force has also been activated. Judging from the current situation, our air force alone may not be enough." Think, there are more than 20 dreadnoughts and former dreadnought fleets on the sea, as well as a large number of cruisers and destroyers, and at least 100 British fighter jets providing cover. This is not something that the Bavarian Second Air Force can eat!
