Imperial Overlord

A golden beauty pushed open the door of an office. Behind her, outside the door of the secretary's office, was a busy scene. &1t;/

Someone was answering the phone, someone was explaining something to others, and in the huge noisy room, everyone seemed to have their own work to do. &1t;/

Only in the office where the secretary had just pushed the door open was a quiet paradise. There's only one person working here, and there's a stack of papers on the desk. &1t;/

"Okay, put the documents here first! Let the 11th destroyer squadron set sail and **** the ng-2 fleet to the United States." Hearing someone approaching his office, Somerville said without looking up. &1t;/

The commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy has always been a very honorable position, and it was once the commander-in-chief of the most powerful sea power in the world. &1t;/

It is a pity that the glory is gone now, and the only thing left is endless loneliness and regret. The British Royal Navy, who stepped down from the altar, now has a sad atmosphere of failure from the inside out. &1t;/

The pressure on General Somerville is still huge. Compared to Cunningham, who left the mess, he is really better than death now. &1t;/

He may be the weakest commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy in British history. He had only one battleship under his command, and its combat effectiveness was less than one-tenth that of the German Navy. &1t;/

Such a weak Royal Navy also has to shoulder the task of guarding the Atlantic transport line, as well as the symbolic patrol of the homeland defense - Somerville has been able to resign, which shows that he is still very capable. &1t;/

To deal with the United States and Germany, but also to let the United Kingdom come out of the shadow of defeat, Somerville can be considered to have paid his own efforts. &1t;/

"General! The liaison officer of the German Navy is here, just outside the door." The secretary who walked in put the document in front of Somerville and said. &1t;/

Somerville was stunned for a moment, then finally remembered the other party's purpose in coming here to find him, then nodded and said, "Okay, let him in!"&1t;/

A German naval officer with the rank of major general walked in, raised his arm respectfully in front of Somerville, and made a standard German salute: "Hi! Hitler!"&1t;/

"Good afternoon!" Somerville stood up, greeted him with the standard British naval salute, and then said politely, "Sit down! Do you want coffee?"&1t;/

Although the supplies in the UK are still relatively scarce compared to before the war, the coffee and black tea at the high-level have never been interrupted. This is the so-called high-level privilege, and it is a treatment that ordinary people cannot enjoy. &1t;/

And with the surrender of Britain and the continuous victories of Germany, the supply of British supplies is also recovering, and it is recovering quickly. &1t;/

"Thank you!" There was no pushback, and the German major general was also very casual because he often came to Somerville's office. This is where he works, and he is one of the liaison representatives of the German Navy in the UK. &1t;/

There are many such representatives, for example, there are also German liaison officers and coordinating officers in the port of Liverpool. They were in charge of the entry and exit of German ships, communicated with the British, and used all the privileges that Germany had obtained. &1t;/

When Somerville's secretary served coffee, and then went out and closed the door of the office, the German officer looked at Somerville and said, "The 10 ships we ordered are progressing very well, and I am very grateful to the general. Your help."&1t;/

These battleships on board 6 can no longer be built in Germany. After all, the limited docks have been used to produce combat ships and maintain existing battleships. &1t;/

French shipyards are producing submarines, as well as destroyers for critical air defense and anti-submarine use. Especially the anti-submarine destroyer, which is a combat ship that must be equipped on a large scale by the protected navy. &1t;/

In the past, Germany fought a broken war. Just destroy it, and not let the enemy use the sea is victory. But this concept is outdated, and what the German Navy needs today is to use the sea. &1t;/

Therefore, those insignificant warships in the past have now become baby bumps. Tactics that have never been touched before must be relearned now. &1t;/

But this is also the case. Reeder, Dönitz, and other German navy executives realized that the resources they used were really too few and too few. &1t;/

Unlike Britain, Germany could mobilize a large number of civilian ships in wartime, because German civilian ships themselves were few. &1t;/

Now more than half of these ships have gone to the Mediterranean Sea, and the rest are basically piled up on the Baltic Sea route. &1t;/

Who would have thought that after just one year, the shipping industry in Germany would be so busy, so busy that Redel was a little desperate? &1t;/

As a result, a large number of civilian docks are working hard to produce more transport ships to fill the gap in demand. &1t;/

Container carriers were launched one by one, and the production rate was no slower than the rate at which Americans produced Liberty ships. &1t;/

On the one hand, it is because the container freighter mechanism is simple and convenient to produce, and on the other hand, it is also because the demand is really huge, and the profits of the manufacturers are so high. &1t;/

The booming production of civilian ships naturally crowded out the production capacity of military ships, especially non-combat ships. &1t;/

Reeder, Dönitz and others are old-school commanders of the Navy~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They all came from a history of breaking wars, so they have the same conditioned reflexes, trying to ensure the production of combat ships and not paying attention to the follow-up of supporting ships . &1t;/

The result cannot be said to be bad, but it is indeed a serious problem: the German Navy lacks boarding 6 ships, lacks minesweepers, lacks anti-submarine ships for escort... In short, except for combat ships, it lacks everything. &1t;/

To make up for these problems, Germany ordered 10 fast supply ships from France to supply its own fleet. &1t;/

At the same time, it also ordered 10 new fast destroyers, 4 anti-aircraft cruisers, and 10 large boarding 6 ships from the UK. &1t;/

These ships are not the main combat ships, so I am not afraid of the British thinking carefully. Even if it is delivered a little later, it will not affect the overall combat effectiveness of the German Navy. &1t;/

Of course, if these warships are put into service on time, the German Navy's ocean-going combat capability will go to a higher level. &1t;/

The combat capability of Deng 6 will also be significantly improved, the carrying capacity can also be stronger, and the ability to support Deng 6 combat will be more guaranteed. &1t;/

It's just that the distance can be reached 6 in the United States, and there is still a big gap. It is simply impossible to expect these dozens of ships to change the balance of power between the two sides in the Deng 6 operation. &1t;/

"General Gores is polite, this is my duty." Somerville smiled and replied. &1t;/
