The Third Reich: I Became Emperor

"The battle line is so long, the Royal Fleet is worthy of its reputation, our ambush has become a waste."Marshal Dönitz looked at the telegram forwarded by the Air Force and smiled bitterly. Admiral

Hermann next to him also looked very ugly. All the warships in his hands added up to less than half of the strength of the Royal Fleet.

This is only a large part of the warships of the Royal Home Fleet. Counting the other several squadrons, the total number is close to 200 warships.

Of course, most of them were obtained by Fatty Qiu selling islands. As for the Far East Fleet, it had already been beaten to the ground by Benzi.

Now they are hiding in the port, which is full of mines outside, and they look like they will never leave the port.

"Marshal, what should we do now? If we fight head-on, we won't win at all." Admiral Hermann said helplessly.

"If the Italian army was there, there would still be great hope for the three navies to fight together."Marshal Dönitz sighed.

In fact, if the Japanese navy was added, the four countries would still have great hope to form a joint navy, at least to confront the Royal Fleet head-on.

Unfortunately, they were defeated one by one, and the Japanese navy was struggling with the Pacific Fleet. The Italian navy could only hide in the Mediterranean and dared not cross the line. The

French navy was seriously injured by the ballista operation, and the German navy was even worse, with only one Scharnhorst battlecruiser left to support the scene.

"Marshal, the Italian fleet is not much better than ours, and can only retreat to the Mediterranean. Admiral Hermann shrugged and said helplessly.

"Where are the submarine forces?" Dönitz also knew that those were all fantasies, so he simply asked directly.

"We should be meeting the Royal Fleet soon." Admiral Hermann thought for a moment and said.

Hearing this, Marshal Dönitz nodded and then said slowly:"I hope the submarine force can hold back the Royal Fleet."

"In addition, notify Marshal Rundstedt to speed up the landing. We can only give him a few days' delay. The army must take this opportunity to expand the landing area. Perhaps, we will have to fight a stalemate."

"Yes! Your Excellency Marshal!"

On the other side, the operations officer of the U147 submarine said worriedly:"Captain, do you think the Royal Fleet will really show up?"

"Who can guarantee this? It depends on luck. We are sailing in a Z-shaped formation. If we encounter one, it's just luck. If we don't, forget it. But if we are lucky, we might encounter an aircraft carrier."The person who spoke was Reinhardt, the captain of the U-147 submarine.

He is no longer the young lieutenant of the past, but the famous Lieutenant Colonel Reinhardt. He has sunk 20 warships with a total tonnage of nearly 100,000 tons. Among the entire naval captain sequence, he can at least rank in the top five.

"Captain, your luck is incredible. You always encounter warships and still manage to escape."The operations staff said with a sneer.

"We are so lucky that we always encounter lone warships. Otherwise, how could we avoid being hunted down? The destroyers of the Royal Fleet are equipped with sonar, so it is not that easy to escape." Lieutenant Colonel Reinhardt said

"It is not the same as before. When there was no sonar, we could still blend into the enemy fleet formation. Now we can only fire torpedoes from a distance, and it is easy to be evaded. For a large-scale formation like this, we can only hide in the distance and fire torpedoes. If we blend in, we will die."

In the past two years, although the German army has produced many ace submarine captains, it has also sacrificed many ace captains. Those who survived have already learned a set of survival methods, that is, they will never blend into the enemy fleet formation.

Because those who blended in have already died, and the rest have already summed up this lesson.

"It's a pity for Prien, who always gets mixed up with the enemy formation. What's the result? So we just need to fire torpedoes from a distance."Lieutenant Colonel Reinhardt said to the trainee captains behind him.

"Yes!"The trainee captains responded quickly

"Keep going and see if you can run into the Royal Fleet." After thinking for a while, Reinhardt frowned and said

"Should we turn on the radio?" the staff officer asked.

"No, keep silent. The Royal Fleet's sonar ship is very powerful. Once the radio is turned on, it will definitely be captured, and then more than a dozen anti-submarine destroyers will come to chase it."Reinhardt said with a bit of fear. Submarines usually keep their radios silent when they are performing missions, so it is normal for the Navy Command to not be able to contact the submarines for several days.

"Yes!" the staff officer responded

"I always feel that a war is going to break out this time. God bless the empire."Lieutenant Colonel Reinhardt sighed. He knew that it was impossible for him to change the situation. He could only sink the enemy's warships as soon as possible and make a contribution.
