Imperial Overlord

Dudley Pound is concerned about chaos. He is worried that the Germans will land in Britain when Britain is most vulnerable, but he does not think that in fact the German foxes are now in the Atlantic Ocean.

Compared with the British fox, the German fox is really coming out this time. Except for the two Deutsches-class pocket battleships and the famous Scharnhorst, the rest of the battleships are already in the Atlantic.

Even so, the British Royal Fox Home Fleet and the two battleships Warspite and Vengeance did not join the battle to intercept the German fleet.

The main reason for not bringing these two battleships is because they are too old, and after modification, the speed is only a pitiful 21 knots.

This kind of speed simply can't catch up with the cutting-edge German warships, so they can only honestly shrink in the port and use it reluctantly as a deterrent force for housekeeping.

During World War II, the main reason why the battleships of the entire British Fox were not as good as their counterparts in the United States and Japan was also because the British battleships were too old to be used boldly.

Of course, although there are many old warships, the numerical advantage is astounding. Among the battleships of the other fleets of the Royal Fox, there are still many that were too late to participate in the war or were not transferred to participate in the war.

It can be seen that there is indeed a huge gap that is difficult to make up in the hard power of the two foxes, and the German fox is indeed too weak.

"What a joke, the German Fox didn't have any troops to cover the landing, what did they rely on? Two destroyers?" Churchill scolded.

Today, he is very secretive about the German landing, and he is easily reluctant to mention it. Because he knows how weak Britain is now, and it is impossible to prevent the Germans from landing.

If it weren't for the weakness of the German fox and the lack of preparations for the German landing, Britain would have been swept by the Germans long ago.

Counting on the few broken guns on the coastline, and as many as 1 million, but half of them are Boy Scouts, how can they fight against the elite German Wehrmacht?

Therefore, every time he mentioned the German landing, Churchill was like being stepped on the tail. He hates talking about it because he's afraid to talk about it.

"The family surrounds and wipes out the German fleet, and then restores the order of transportation in the Atlantic Ocean. This is the most important thing for us now!" He looked at Dudley Pound and said depressedly.

Because of the annihilation of the TC transport fleet, the British port city of Liverpool has begun to experience material shortages, which Churchill already knew.

As British Prime Minister, he also had to know such news. The battleship HMS Prince of Wales has begun its early trial voyages, but the steel reserves of the battleship HMS Anson have been misappropriated.

The Duke of York battleship is also slowing down construction, but in order to launch the battleship ahead of schedule, the Royal Fox's Howe battleship has been forced to stop work.

The reason why the British fox demolished the east wall to make up the west wall is because the replenishment of steel was not timely. Now that the material has been cut off more completely, I don't know whether it will affect the progress of the battleship.

"Where is the search fleet heading north? Haven't they arrived yet?" Churchill became impatient just after he finished speaking.

You must know that he had just ordered the search fleet to go north, and it was of course impossible for the search fleet to rush to the predetermined sea area.

Moreover, Dudley Pound worried that even if the search fleet arrived in the nearby waters, it would be a problem whether it could entangle the Germans.

According to descriptions of drowning sailors rescued from the water by the Home Fleet, they saw two German battleships, and two more battleships than large cruisers.

It was easy for Dudley Pound to analyze that the German battleships were basically in this fleet - including two battleships, a battlecruiser, and a heavy cruiser.

With such a configuration, it is really unknown whether the two battlecruisers of the British Royal Fox can fight with one.

The problem facing the commander-in-chief of the British Royal Fox is that, except for the search fleet, other fleets cannot catch up with this four-quenched and destroyed German fleet.

"Send a telegram to General John Tovey immediately and ask him to do his best to seriously injure several German warships!" Dudley Pound pinned his last hope on General Tovey.

The best way to annihilate this German fleet now is to severely damage one or two German warships and slow down the other.

General John Tovey, who received the telegram, had a wry smile on his face, knowing that the home command had been delirious with the German fleet.

His fleet consisted of only two battlecruisers and a new type of aircraft carrier, probably half the strength of the enemy or less.

In this case, his fleet launched an attack rashly, and it is likely to be severely damaged! After all, the original intention of the design of the battlecruiser was not for the decisive battle with the battleship.

The last time a battlecruiser was used as a decisive weapon was during the Battle of Jutland. Britain itself proved at a painful price that battlecruisers could not compete head-on with battleships.

But this time, he had to use the battle cruiser again and go to the trouble of looking for the German battleship - his heart was full of sadness, and there was an inexplicable reluctance.

However, the order was an order after all, and he could only take three warships that could sail at high speed and start to drive fast in the direction that the German fleet might be heading.

Now, no one knows the correct course of the German fleet. In the vast Atlantic Ocean, everyone can only rely on experience and guesswork to judge where the German fleet is.

The razor-sharp bow of the battlecruiser Hood cut through the nucleus, followed by the battlecruiser HMS Prestige, followed by the famous aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal.

This fleet has 30 Swordfish carrier-based aircraft, but now everyone knows that when these carrier-based aircraft face German aircraft, it is almost no different from non-existence.

And at this moment, where is the German fleet? Because there was no oil spill, and the German fleet still had enough fuel, Lütjens boldly changed his course again!

"Let's head west and search south!" After giving the order to change the course, Lütjens handed a telegram to Hines beside him.

Since he was convinced by the Fuehrer's prediction and understanding of the aircraft carrier, Lütjens liked to share his decision with the Fuehrer's protégé Hines.

Just now, the German fleet, which was rapidly heading south, received the latest news from the Fox submarine force.

A German submarine cruising off the east coast of the United States spotted a distant British convoy. It cannot launch an attack due to its speed and location.

At the end of the telegram, the latitude and longitude of the fleet was recorded in detail, so that friendly forces could find it and set up an ambush circle first.

This telegram was sent to the Wolfpack submarine force in Germany's mid-Atlantic, but Lütjens also deciphered the content of the telegram.

Although it was stated in the telegram that the submarine force was to be concentrated in ambush, Lütjens decided to go and take a share of the credit!

No matter how the submarine force launched an attack, it could not completely wipe out a large-scale transport fleet. But Lütjens' fleet can do this, so he really wants to prove himself in this hunting operation.

After weighing it over and over again, Hines handed the telegram back to Lütjens, and asked solemnly, "If we continue to go west and then change our course to the north, will we fall into the enemy's encirclement?"

"If the British are not fools, then at this time, their fleet from Gibraltar is already waiting to meet us in the southern part of England." Lütjens pointed on the map and analyzed Hines. .

Having commanded the battle cruiser Scharnhorst, he showed unparalleled anti-encirclement experience at this time~www.wuxiaspot.com~ When it comes to escape skills, the German fox ranked second, and it is estimated that there is nothing else. The national fox dares to recognize the number one, okay, this is not a glorious thing

"The other party's fleet will search and go north, trying to encircle us." Lütjens roughly made a gesture on the map, which was almost the route of the encircling fleet commanded by General Somerville.

"We don't go south, but turn to the northwest. We will throw off the enemy's home fleet, and at the same time let the enemy's intercepting fleet empty." Lütjens marked a location on the map and continued.

"However, once we start attacking the British fleet, our position will be exposed." Hines looked at the map and said with some concern.

"Indeed, at this time, the two British fleets will follow us to the north," Lütjens nodded and admitted.

Then he pointed to a place further north: "With the advantage of our speed, we turned to the east and bypassed the enemy's fleet heading north!"

"This sea area is too narrow, will it be blocked by the British fleet, and a battle will inevitably occur?" Hines frowned and pointed to the sea area.

"If it can be avoided, of course, it is the best situation. We will throw off the two fleets heading north. After we advance eastward, we will quickly head south, and we will throw off all the chasing troops and break away from the enemy's encirclement." This is Lütjens The best plan is to get rid of the fear of blocking once and for all and return to the port of Brest safely.

But if the situation gets worse, he also has a way to deal with it: "The weather forecast says that starting tomorrow, the weather will turn bad, and the enemy will not be able to take off carrier-based aircraft. He is as blind as us!"

As Lu Paopao, in the game of hiding where neither side could take off the carrier plane, he was still very confident that he could safely escape each other's stalking.
