Imperial Overlord

On the Atlantic Ocean, three huge artillery pieces on a warship spewed dazzling flames at a distant target.

The huge sound shook the sky and the earth, and it also made the power of the giant machines built by humans on the sea displayed at a glance.

This is a battle like a knight, the difference is that the enemy opposite the knight is not the enemy's warrior, but the enemy's poor.

The armoured ship Admiral Scheer spotted a British fishing boat on the sea, and this was the classic naval battle outside Brest.

Why is it a classic? Because this is the main theme of the German Navy in World War II. Throughout the battlefield, the German navy targeted its opponent's non-warship ships.

"Boom!" The huge flames blew away the waves on the sea, and the shells flew a long distance and landed near the sea level, around the struggling fishing boat.

Putting down the telescope in his hand to observe the target, the German captain coldly ordered: "Don't let the other party leave!"

The British fishing boats that dared to fish in the waters near Brest at this time were not civilian vessels.

Although they look like a group of innocent civilians, they are actually combat ships deployed by the British Navy nearby.

Disguised as a fishing boat, or a boat that was originally a fishing boat but now does another job, it actually has many tasks on its shoulders.

Including monitoring the movements of the German Navy, counting German submarines returning home, and sometimes even laying some mines on the waterways that the German Navy has just cleaned up.

Because of this, after discovering such fishing boats, the German navy always tried every means to sink them without giving the other party a chance to leave.

Therefore, on the morning of November 26, when the German main fleet that had entered the Atlantic waters had not yet had the opportunity to attack, the Admiral Scheer started her own naval battle.

The violent shelling made the fishing boat seem like a small boat in the surging waves, trying to maintain the sailing state so that it would not capsize.

"Altitude adjustment...fire!" As if in training for shooting, the German battleship gave orders one after another, and the cannon spit out its own flames again.

This time, the shells fired did not disappoint the German naval officers and soldiers. A 280mm shell just landed on the deck of the fishing boat, and the fishing boat was broken into parts at once.

Like Christmas fireworks, a huge explosion rose on the sea, and the flames rolled and transpired.

All the buildings in the upper half of the British fishing boat floating on the sea were turned into debris and scattered on the surrounding sea.

Just a large-caliber artillery shell hit, and the fishing boat completely became history and sank on the outskirts of the port of Brest.

"The British really spared no effort to block Brest." The captain sighed with emotion when he saw that his shells hit the target.

Before his battleship sank the opponent, he was not in the mood to have a round of these things with his subordinates. But when the battle was over and the Admiral Scheer was on the way back, the atmosphere became much lighter.

"When will our fishing boats be able to sail freely at sea..." Hearing his superior sigh, his adjutant followed suit.

It seems that the German Navy will never be able to gallop across the Atlantic Ocean. As long as the British Empire exists, the German Navy can only be a regional defense force.

I don't know if it was a pity or something else, the captain of the Admiral Scheer lowered his head and did not answer his first officer's question.

Those German warships that challenged the British Empire are now sinking in the icy seabed, and those generals who once had ambitions to challenge the British Empire's navy are now sleeping.

I don't know when it started, the battleships of the German Navy have risen again. This time the road to challenge seems to be more rugged. I don't know if it can reach the end.

I hope that Lütjens is capable of fulfilling the aspirations of generations of the German navy; I hope that the first born in Berlin is really as godlike as everyone says.

On the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, Lütjens got the latest telegram from the Navy's submarine department. He frowned and handed the telegram to Hines beside him.

"Charles is a smart man. In order to protect his transport ship, he adopted the most troublesome method for us." Lütjens said depressedly.

The other party's transport fleet began to gather in a fixed direction in the early morning. The submarine force confirmed the news and passed it on to Lütjens' fleet.

Although it is a little stupid, such a stupid way is the most troublesome way of fighting for the German fleet.

"The enemy did not choose to come to our fleet, which is a tricky countermeasure." Hines also realized the seriousness of the problem.

If the British fleet is still like last time, with the idea of ​​​​annihilating the German fleet, and letting the fleet chase and block it, then the German fleet can continue to play its own advantages.

That kind of pursuit was the German fleet's favorite fighting method, killing all those who caught up with it, and then running around with those who couldn't catch up.

But the other party is now protecting its own transport fleet, waiting for the German fleet to come to the door, which makes the German fleet, which has a clear advantage in speed, useless.

If you want to attack the opponent's transport ship, you must face the main British fleet, which the German Navy is unwilling to try.

"It's really troublesome..." Lütjens glanced at Hines, who was also a little depressed while holding the telegram, and said with emotion: "The enemy will never sit still."

Hines nodded and said in agreement: "We also have to solve this problem as soon as possible. If it is put on hold, then blocking the UK will become a joke."

Lütjens also understood what he said. If they let the British fleet go this time, the British navy would have found a way to deal with the naval blockade.

Next time, as long as the German naval fleet is discovered by the British, they will do the same and let the German naval fleet come back again.

"Our advantage can only be maintained for one to two months... Let the British survive this period, and our advantage will be lost," Lütjens said to Hines.

As a naval commander, both he and Hines knew that as long as the British maritime transport was stabilized for a month, the British would develop on-board radar, and more likely refit a few Sea Hurricane or Sea Spitfire.

At that point, the numerical superiority of the British navy will overwhelm the German navy, returning everything to the way it was a few months ago.

The German navy was unable to go to sea to fight, was blocked in the port and died in depression, waiting for the end of the war, there would be no more opportunities to make achievements.

"We have to figure out a way. If the British escape this time, they will play this trick next time." Hines was a little confused, he didn't want the second voyage to end so hastily.

What's more, if he and Lütjens really returned in such an embarrassed way, it would be tantamount to a life-saving booster for the British navy whose morale had fallen to the bottom.

"Yeah! We can't come back without success like this, we have to make the British pay the price!" Hearing what Hynes said, Lütjens also agreed.

After all, it was really embarrassing for two people to have a head-to-head battle with the British navy.

After thinking about it, there is only one way... Thinking of this, Lütjens looked at Hines and asked, "Try it with the naval aviation, what do you think?"

Relying solely on naval aviation to attack the opposing fleet, and having the German fleet attack at a distance of a hundred kilometers or more, was indeed a good way to avoid a decisive battle with the enemy fleet.

"It's really worth a try." With the record of sinking British cruisers, Hines still has some self-confidence.

When he heard that he would use his naval aviation to carry out long-range raids, he did not think it was an impossible task.

The only thing that makes him a little embarrassed is that the number of carrier-based aircraft that can be used on the Zeppelin aircraft carrier is not large.

In order to intercept the enemy's carrier-based aircraft reconnaissance, the German aircraft carrier is equipped with about 20 fighter jets. These fighter jets are not only responsible for killing the reconnaissance aircraft, but also to ensure the air defense security of the fleet.

Therefore, the number of remaining carrier-based attack aircraft is really not more than 20 Stuka C-type bombers. It is very doubtful how much results can be achieved.

However, in order not to engage in head-on engagement with the British naval fleet~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the use of naval aviation is currently the safest solution.

After thinking about it carefully, Hines nodded and agreed with Lütjens' plan: "I personally command the air force to attack... I will try to sink as many of the opponent's transport ships as possible."

"It's not that we have no chance of winning, at least the other party is not without flaws!" Lütjens is an old navy. From his professional point of view, he still found the weakness of the British navy.

"In view of the weakness of their tactics, if we seize the opportunity well, we can at least make them suffer a little." After thinking about it in his mind, Lütjens became more certain of his thoughts.

"Hopefully our attack will cause more losses to the British than they can bear." Hines looked at the British fleet route marked on the chart and said.

"They would never have thought that we would use carrier-based aircraft as the main means to carry out this attack." Lütjens said with his hands behind his back, looking at the chart in front of him.

"Hopefully, our carrier-based aircraft really has the enormous power that the Führer expected." Staring at the chart in front of him, Lütjens muttered to himself.
