Third Reich: I took over power
Chapter 428
On the vast Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Provisional Fleet of the Third Reich Navy was sailing. According to the order of the Naval Command, the fleet maintained radio silence throughout the entire process to avoid the Royal Navy detecting their position and launching an encirclement and suppression campaign against them.
According to the plan, the Third Reich Navy's Mediterranean Provisional Fleet did not immediately go north after entering the Atlantic Ocean. Instead, it continued westward until it reached the northern waters of the Azores Islands, and then turned and sailed north.
After the main force of the Third Reich's navy entered the Atlantic Ocean, it also kept heading west, sailed to the southern waters of Hama Island, and then turned and sailed south.
In this case, the two fleets will meet deep in the Atlantic Ocean.
The reason for choosing this route is to keep the battlefield as far away from the mainland of the Empire as the sun never sets.
Although under the indiscriminate bombing of the Third Reich Air Force, the Royal Navy seemed to have suffered all losses. But no one can guarantee whether the Royal Air Force has secretly left a number of fighter planes.
Once a naval battle breaks out in the coastal waters of the Empire, the Royal Navy can call on the Royal Air Force for assistance.
Apart from anything else, once the Royal Air Force dispatches a large number of fighter planes to assist in the battle. Then, the attack by the carrier-based aircraft group, which the Third Reich Navy had high hopes for, would be greatly reduced.
The Third Reich Navy also counted on using a large number of carrier-based aircraft to inflict heavy damage on the Royal Navy. In this case, the main fleet of the Third Reich Navy can easily win this naval battle.
The Third Reich Navy was eager to win this decisive battle, but they hoped for a clean victory, a victory at a relatively small cost. Rather than a tragic victory that equals death.
In that case, it will have a great impact on the Third Reich's subsequent combat deployment.
In the next step, the Third Reich Navy will also cover the army's landing on the Reich's mainland, and compete with the Eagle Navy in the Atlantic to establish the Third Reich's hegemony in the Atlantic. All of these require a strong navy.
The fleet of the Third Reich Navy sailed on the Atlantic Ocean, while the Royal Navy Home Fleet was constantly searching for the location of the Third Reich Navy.
After setting off from Scapa Flow, the Royal Navy's Home Fleet entered the Atlantic Ocean and then quickly headed south. They hoped to deal with these two aircraft carriers before the Mediterranean Provisional Forces of the Third Reich Navy merged with the main fleet of the Third Reich Navy, thereby weakening the strength of the Third Reich Navy.
The top brass of the Royal Navy are also worried that once the Home Fleet has a decisive battle with the main force of the Third Reich Navy, it will be attacked by these two Dunkirk-class battlecruisers.
You know, these two Dunkirk-class ships have a history of fighting. During the decisive battle between the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet and the Kingdom of Caesar's Navy, they were the ones who sneak-attacked the Mediterranean carrier formation, then broke out at the critical moment, besieged the main fleet of the Mediterranean Fleet, and sent the main ships of the Mediterranean Fleet to the bottom of the sea.
This time, it was a mistake the Royal Navy would never make again.
Of course, if two Dunkirk-class battlecruisers can be eliminated, it will also help further weaken the strength of the Third Reich Navy, allowing the Royal Navy to take a greater advantage in the decisive battle.
However, for two days in a row, the Royal Navy's Home Fleet found no trace of these two Dunkirk-class battlecruisers. This made General Charles Forbes anxious.
"Damn it, where did those two Dunkirk-class battlecruisers escape to? Could it be possible that they didn't go north at all?"General Charles Forbes couldn't help but curse.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the reconnaissance ships we deployed around the Azores Islands and even the seaplanes that took off have already searched the nearby waters and have not found each other at all. Then, there are only two possibilities, either the other party has returned, or it has gone north before us. I personally speculate that the second possibility is very high. Lieutenant General Arthur Powell said.
Admiral Charles Forbes nodded:"Where is our submarine force?" Any findings?"
The sun never sets on the Royal Navy's submarine force, although there were no bright spots in the war. However, the Royal Navy also attaches great importance to weapons such as submarines. Although the number of submarines equipped by the Royal Navy is far less than that of the Third Reich Navy.
However, they also have a lot of submarine activities in the ocean.
Admiral Charles Forbes hopes that the Royal Navy’s submarine force can discover traces of the two Dunkirk-class battlecruisers of the Third Reich.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the submarine force has not found anything yet." said Lt. Gen. Arthur Powell.
"It seems that this battle will not be as easy as we expected. However, even if the two Dunkirk-class battlecruisers cannot be killed first. The navy of the Third Reich cannot be our opponent."Admiral Charles Forbes still looks very confident.
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. The only ones that can really pose a threat to us are the Third Reich's four H-class battleships, three O-class cruisers and one Qi Bolin-class aircraft carrier. The 305mm main gun of the P-class battleship cannot threaten our battleships at all. The 330mm main gun of the Dunkirk-class battlecruiser also poses a very limited threat to our battleships. This time, we can definitely crush them! Vice Admiral Arthur Powell said.
It was precisely because the Royal Navy made a major misjudgment of the Third Reich Navy, believing that the main guns of those P-class battleships were too small in caliber and insufficiently powerful to pose a threat to their battleships.
So. , the Royal Navy looked as if they were sure of victory, and did not regard the Third Reich Navy as a threat at all. They believed that they would be able to win in the next decisive battle at sea. In the evening of January
6, 1940, a ship The submarine of the Royal Navy finally discovered the location of the main fleet of the Third Reich Navy.
This huge fleet was impressively located in the waters 1,300 kilometers southwest of Bindao. Moreover, it had already communicated with two Dunkirk-class battlecruisers. Reunited.
When the submarine sent the telegram, it was immediately surrounded and suppressed by the destroyers of the Third Reich.
Soon, the submarine was sunk by the destroyers of the Third Reich with depth charges, leaving only some engine oil and broken wooden boards. Surfaced.
The submariners of the Royal Navy have sunk to the bottom of the cold Atlantic Ocean together with this submarine._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
