Third Reich: I took over power
Chapter 186
The sun never sets on the Empire, Fog City, Admiralty.
Sir Dudley Pound, Lord Admiralty, has been in a lot of trouble recently.
The submarine force of the Third Reich, which is active on the ocean, has bared its ferocious fangs and bit into the maritime transportation lines of the Empire on which the sun never sets. These submarines arbitrarily attacked the merchant ships and transport ships of the Empire where the sun never sets, causing a large number of merchant ships and transport ships to be destroyed.
Although, compared to the huge merchant ship holdings of the Empire where the sun never sets, this is nothing. If coupled with the powerful shipbuilding strength of the Sun Never Sets Empire, the losses would be even more minor.
But even so, this made Sir Pound feel threatened.
If the Third Reich continued to use submarine forces to attack the sea transportation lines of the Empire on which the sun never sets, this would cause their losses to increase. Maybe, it won't be long before their maritime transportation lines are hit hard, putting the entire country in crisis.
"Your Excellency, ZaiYour Excellency asks you to go there immediately."The secretary reported.
Sir Dudley Pound nodded:"Go and prepare the car, I'll be there right away."
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
Soon, Sir Dudley Pound arrived at the Prime Minister's Palace by car.
At this moment, the Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's face was ashen, and the Finance Minister Sir John Simon's face was also very ugly.
"Good afternoon, Your Majesty the Prime Minister!"Sir Dudley Pound took the initiative to say hello.
"Sir, I'm in a very bad situation now!"Neville Chamberlain's words were full of anger.
"Sir, in one month, we have lost a total of 120,000 tons of merchant ships. A large amount of supplies sank into the cold ocean. Thousands of sailors were lost! Although, this does not seem to be a big deal for the current empire. But this is just the beginning. Once the Third Reich's submarines continue to operate, even if they send more submarines into the ocean. Can the empire's maritime transportation lines continue to be maintained? It should be clear to you. Once the sea transportation line is cut off, what will this mean for the empire! asked Neville Chamberlain.
"Sorry, Your Excellency, this was an oversight on the part of the Royal Navy. Next, the Royal Navy will dispatch a large number of cruisers and destroyers to hunt the submarines of the Third Reich in the ocean to ensure the safety of sea transportation lines! said Sir Dudley Pound
"Sir, is this really useful? After all, the Atlantic Ocean is too vast."Sir John Simon asked.
Sir Dudley Pound was silent immediately. He naturally knew how difficult it would be.
Even if the Royal Navy has a large number of cruisers, if it is spread on the Atlantic Ocean, it will not be possible at all. What does it matter?
"Sir, is there a more efficient way? Our maritime transportation lines must not be cut off!" said Neville Chamberlain.
"Your Majesty the Prime Minister, the royal family has taken measures. However, this takes time!"Sir Dudley Pound was also a little helpless.
"Well, Sir. The despicable Third Reich wants to use submarines to sneak attack us and attack our sea transportation lines just like it did in the last world war. Last time, they caused us huge losses. If we don't respond proactively, we may suffer greater losses this time. However, I believe that the Royal Navy was able to thwart the Second Empire's conspiracy last time. This time, we will definitely be able to crush the Third Reich's conspiracy!" said Neville Chamberlain.
"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. The Royal Navy has the ability to ensure the safety of sea lines of transport. The submarines of the Third Reich will not cause us too much damage!"Sir Dudley Pound seemed very confident.
Neville Chamberlain nodded.
"If the Third Reich's submarine forces continue to plunder and cause us more and more losses, how much impact will this have on the homeland? asked Neville Chamberlain.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, most of the food and various resources in the empire are obtained from overseas. It can be said that except for coal, other resources must reach the empire mainland by sea. Once the maritime transportation line is severely damaged, the danger will undoubtedly be imagined." said Sir John Simon
"No matter what, we must ensure the safety of the empire's local food and military-related resources."Neville Chamberlain said.
The former is a major issue related to the national economy and people's livelihood.
If even food cannot be guaranteed, no one knows how much trouble the angry people will cause.
Maybe, his government will directly He was ousted from power by the angry people.
Now during the war, the empire needs a lot of resources to ensure the operation of its military industry. The frontline army needs weapons, equipment and ammunition. If this cannot be guaranteed, wouldn't it be better for the soldiers to To die?
"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. We can increase our purchasing volume. In this case, even some merchant ships were destroyed by the submarines of the Third Reich. But there will also be a large number of merchant ships arriving safely in the empire. However, in this case, we will pay a higher price."Sir John Simon said.
Neville Chamberlain nodded:"This is a problem for which there is no solution."
"The best way is to get rid of the Third Reich's submarines. Those damn dirty things are like water rats, hiding in the sea. No one knows when they will emerge from the water and bite us hard!"Neville Chamberlain couldn't help but curse.
They hated the submarine force of the Third Reich.
However, they also knew very well that it was not easy to get rid of the submarine force of the Third Reich.
Even if they casually With the advancement of technology, sonar and other weapons have been installed on battleships.
But the sonar technology of this era is not very good. It is not so easy to completely find a submarine hiding underwater.
Of course, Neville Chamberlain has handed over this problem to the Royal Navy, which is responsible for it.
In fact, this is the responsibility of the Royal Navy. With the strength of the Royal Navy, it should be able to solve this problem. Even if it cannot be completely solved The submarine force of the Third Reich should not have much of a problem protecting the maritime transportation lines of the Empire on which the sun never sets. Otherwise, so many ships and personnel of the Royal Navy would be just a living thing?
