This operation can be described as perfect. The mines of the Sea Wolf were just the beginning after destroying a regiment of Italian Army. The 500 various mines deployed near Sicily were time bombs one by one. Do you know when they would encounter them. Then the ship rushed out of the Strait of Messina and sailed out of the Mediterranean, preparing to intercept the warships heading to Italy.

After leaving Taranto Bay, the Swordfish separated from the Shed and rushed north to enter the Adriatic Sea. After completing the Break, he would enter the port of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the disguise of a neutral merchant ship for supply and maintenance, and wait for an opportunity to dispatch again. Although the Austro-Hungarian Empire expressed neutrality, everyone understood the actual attitude.

As for Schell's Prince Albert armored cruiser, it successfully entered the Dardanelles and drove to Istanbul with the help of Turkish water diverters.

"The Italian fleet will return soon. In order to prevent them from blocking the navy's exit with mines, I hope the Turkish Navy artillery and mine-burning ships can act quickly." After seeing General Sevke, Scher made his own request. However, the Turkish Navy's mines are limited and the ability to deploy mines is even more limited. He can only barely form a not-so-thick defensive minefield outside the exit of the western end of the strait, and can barely organize the Italian siege, but it is a bit difficult to prevent the opponent from attacking and laying mines.

As for the bait ship K, the British were far more interested in it than the Italians. The British did not expect that the Germans had such a power test ship, with a speed of up to 24 knots. How terrible it would be to assemble the experimental power on a warship. The conscientious Captain Wells followed along the way to collect more information. However, with the speed advantage of up to 4 knots on the opposite side, the bait ship K quickly disappeared from the British's vision!

"That is to say, in just one day today, the German fleet lost more than ten various ships to us. Two warships worth 1.8 million pounds were destroyed, and more than 4,000 casualties were killed or killed. Is that true?" When the Italian Prime Minister delivered the loss report to Umberto I, looking at the dazzling numbers, the Italian king was completely angry!

"We didn't expect the Germans to send a fleet, nor did we expect them to pass through the Strait of Messina, and we were trapped in a fixed mindset..." the Prime Minister explained in panic.

"The British can recognize the bait at a glance. The German fleet has also come to Italy, so why can't we tell the difference between this warship? Why is there no rays in the Strait of Messina? These things should not happen, and Abuqilu must be fully responsible!" The furious king was not willing to listen to these explanations at all.

"I want to know where those German warships in Turkish skins are now! When can the navy pull them out and beat them to death!"

"Kill to death? We don't even know how many ships this German fleet has in total! How to kill them?" The head was a little confused when he was quite a bit distracted, but as an old man who had been in the political arena for many years, he still made up for a rough situation based on information and his own ideas.

"The Germans should have two warships, one of which is the Prince Albert, the No. 3 ship of the Mainz-class armored cruiser. This warship has entered the Dardanelles. Our fleet cannot enter the strait and pursue it. But our fleet has successfully blocked them. This warship cannot cause any harm to us."

"As for another warship, we went to the Sicily area to bred outside the port of Taranto. Now our fleet is looking for it, but unfortunately, we did not find the target and may have left the Eastern Mediterranean." The Prime Minister thought for a while and said.

That's right, the Italians have not yet figured out how many German warships participated in this operation. The Sea Wolf hid very successfully. After all, except for throwing a few mines in a place without realizing it, the others are no different from a merchant ship! After evacuating from the Strait of Messina, he lost his whereabouts. At this time, the mines deployed in the Adriatic Sea have not yet achieved results. The Italians naturally did not expect that the Swordfish had already run here!

"Okay, let the navy keep a close eye on this warship and strengthen the protection of transportation lines. We only have a few steps to North Africa. I don't believe that the navy we spent a lot of Lira formed would be so useless! Order the army to deal with the Turks as soon as possible. We don't have so much time and money to waste in a wasteland in North Africa!" said Umberto I.

You can say that Italy is not strong enough, or that the army's combat effectiveness coffee tables are the ones, but it is not that they will abandon their son and give up because of a crushing defeat! Although the loss this time is very large, it is not fatal. For Italy, it just accidentally bumped. If you want the Italians to surrender, you may have to happen ten or eight times like this...

"I knew it would be the result. Italians have too much appetite, but they don't have a good tooth!" The German emperor put down the documents at hand and said to his close ministers with a smile.

"The fleet that the Italians built for decades has proved to be a paper tiger. I wonder if their army has improved substantially compared to five years ago. If not, then the value of this ally is really average. If we go to war with France, we might have to send troops to protect them!" Earl Schriefen, who was standing beside him, echoed.

"Okay, these things are insignificant little things. Let's talk about the main things now. Ruprecht and Princess Mary are about to get married? If I remember correctly, there will be about a week." The German Emperor changed his mind and said.

"It's like that. Prince Heinrich will join me in this wedding as a representative of Prussia." said Karipme, who was standing beside him.

"Okay, this time you have to bring Prussian kindness, but at the same time you also have to demonstrate the control of the empire. This is not against Bavaria, but against the Austro-Hungarian Empire. I now agree with Bismarck's theory. A strong country cannot be kidnapped by its allies!" The German Emperor said with some displeasure.

The German Emperor was a little annoyed with Austro-Hungary recently, not only because he regarded this marriage as a test of Austro-Hungary's influence on German internal affairs, but also because the Austro-Hungary did not agree to take action against Italy with Germany. In the past, Germany's conditions against Austro-Hungary were all as good as possible, but this time, why did Austro-Hungary refuse so simply? The German Emperor was very dissatisfied!
