Imperial Overlord
: Three hundred and forty-two more and more British ships
The fox's current position is actually farther and farther away from Brest. Lütjens with his fleet, is facing the wind and waves, heading north to Greenland.
He didn't want to go there, but to rush to annihilate the British convoy found by the submarine on the way.
It's a bold plan, so bold that the British didn't even think about it. They were still making plans around Brest, completely unaware that the Germans had gone north.
The goal of the German Fox Fleet this time is to set off from Canada and transport it to a large fleet of Britain, including more than 100 **** ships.
The fleet mainly transports industrial products produced in Canada and the United States, most of which are aircraft engines, and grains that have just been purchased from the United States.
The original transport route of this fleet was from Halifax, Canada, to Liverpool, England.
But because the German fleet appeared on the original route, the fleet was ordered to move north, trying to avoid the German raiding fleet that was making waves in the Atlantic.
As a result, the fleet moved far north, into a route that few ships would have taken.
But who knows, this route was discovered from the beginning by a German submarine and told all the nearby German forces about this route.
On the vast Atlantic Ocean, on the command hull of a submarine, a huge bullfighting U-boat is drawn, which is moving forward in the rising waves.
Because the tonnage is really small, in the rough Atlantic Ocean, the range of the German submarine getting up and down is basically the same as riding a roller coaster.
As if fighting against the heavens and the earth, the U-shaped submarine is like a flat boat, so it rises and falls with the waves, and it looks like it may sink at any time.
Who cares? They were a submarine and sank into the water, they just moved forward in a different way, and it had no effect on them.
Leaning against the icy railing full of sea water, Prien squinted at the grey sky above the sea level in the distance, and the waves that lapped over from time to time.
He didn't smoke, because in such sea conditions, smoking a cigarette would probably be a waste of half. So instead of habitually holding a cigarette in his mouth, he just leaned against the railing and felt the sea breeze that could almost cut his face.
On the Atlantic Ocean in November, the sea breeze is absolutely sharp, and even wearing a leather windbreaker, he can still feel the biting cold.
"Heading due north, we're about to rendezvous with the U-80 submarine!" his first officer came over and shouted to Prien.
"It seems like it's going to rain in this ghost weather!" Prien pointed to the sky in Hui'an and complained to the first officer: "If we're not in a hurry, we'll dive and hide here for a day before we set off!"
Just a few inclines earlier, they received a telegram from the submarine U-45, which identified a large British fleet near Greenland, heading in the British direction.
The telegram described that the British fleet was boundless at a glance, hoping that the nearby German wolves would rush to the hunting site.
After receiving this telegram, Prien on the U-47 submarine issued an order to go north to intercept the huge transport fleet of the other side.
You know, because the British Royal Fox has changed the shipping schedule, it will definitely take a lot of effort to block a large fleet of this level.
Therefore, after receiving the telegram, the German submarine commanders, including the ace captain Prien, would move north as long as they were nearby, and united to form a wolf pack.
"Alert! Commander at the sea level!" Suddenly, a crew member standing at the top of the submarine command enclosure shouted loudly to Prien who was not far below his feet.
Priyan quickly picked up the high-powered telescope hanging on his chest and looked in the direction pointed by the crew. There, he saw a fast-moving destroyer, but the course was not aimed at him.
"A destroyer! It's estimated that we haven't found us yet!" The first mate, who also carried the telescope, confirmed to Prien.
"Of course it's not for us, it's to search for our fleet." Prien put down the telescope in his hand and said a little depressedly.
He turned his head to the side and shouted to several sailors who were ventilating on the deck below the enclosure: "I found the enemy situation! It's about to dive!"
Several sailors threw away the cigarettes they had just smoked, and quickly opened the hatch to enter the submarine. With the chair of the wind and waves, the bow of the sharp U-shaped submarine rises and falls in the Atlantic Ocean.
A big wave came and hit the hull of the submarine, splashing a white spray. The entire bow of the submarine was buried by the waves, and it took a long time to resurface.
The British Royal Foxes on half of the Atlantic Ocean are looking for Lütjens' fleet, and since Prien started yesterday, he found that the number of British warships they encountered began to increase.
Many cruisers and destroyers are weaving a large net, trying to find the German fleet that has lost its place.
"Because our fleet is active, the British patrol ships are really crazy." The first mate complained to Prien while getting into the submarine.
There are so many British warships looking for the German fleet that it affects the actions of the German submarines, who have been diving and surfacing for days.
If this continues, they may really miss the opportunity to attack the other party's transport fleet.
The hatch above his head was closed, and the whole world suddenly darkened. There were only dim lights left in the lighting, and the fresh air pouring into the submarine also began to become cloudy a little bit.
Priyan left the ladder with a smile, walked to the control officer of the diving depth, pressed the other's shoulder and instructed: "Dive to the height of the snorkel!"
The subordinate began to adjust the scale of the dive, and the chief officer pulled out the periscope. At this time, the submarine had already dived to a semi-submerged depth where only the conning tower enclosure was exposed.
"It seems that our fleet is doing well, and the British have used so many resources." Prien smiled and looked at the first mate, and said, "Keep the periscope alert! If the other side approaches, dive to 40 meters deep, keep silent."
The snorkel has been raised and the diesel engine of the submarine is still working. In this state, the reserve power of the submarine is very sufficient, so the speed and noise are very high.
Although the lights are dim, compared to the power saving mode, it is already a good lighting brightness. If the diesel engine on the submarine stopped working for a while, about two-thirds of the lights would go out.
"Sir, you may not believe it, but please take a look at this." A non-commissioned officer in the telegraph room held a telegram and handed it to Prien.
Prien took this telegram, looked at the news inside, and frowned together☆ After that, he still commanded: "Keep your course!"
When Prien ordered to maintain the course, the German surface fleet was rapidly heading towards Greenland under the command of Lütjens.
His fleet can reach speeds of over 25 knots, and even full speed to 30 knots when necessary. The British fleet, however, rarely has such a high speed.
In the mixed British mainland fleet, General Charles could only helplessly use a speed of 20 knots to find a rabbit-like opponent on the ocean.
"With the current sea conditions, the dispatch of aircraft is already the limit." Hines stood on the bridge of the aircraft carrier Zeppelin and said to Lütjens: "Just now, I ordered two planes to take off, which is what we expected. last reconnaissance flight."
Looking at the increasingly large nucleus in the bow, Lütjens nodded. Severe weather in the Atlantic is the most common state.
Sunny days are rare. This is also the reason why both the United Kingdom and Germany focus on the development of battleships, while Japan and the United States like to play aircraft carriers.
After all, if you play an aircraft carrier in the Atlantic Ocean, you cannot take off the plane for two-thirds of the time~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This means that it restricts the powerful attack power of the aircraft carrier fleet.
"The enemy's fleet is already within the reconnaissance radius. I hope your plane can bring back good news this time. We will confirm the enemy's route for the last time, follow the enemy's fleet, and launch an attack at dawn tomorrow!" Try to delay as much time as possible before the other party finds you.
The later he attacked the convoy, the further away the British fleet was from the German fleet. By the time his attack begins tomorrow, the enemy fleet will be at least 300 kilometers or even 350 kilometers away.
"There won't be any accidents, right? For example, our fleet was discovered in advance, and if it was delayed for another night, will there be any changes?" Hines was a little nervous and asked his commander.
Although because this location is located in the north, the British search network will not cover it in a short period of time, but it can be delayed for one night. After all, it is a very bold decision.
Lütjens said that there is no way to do this: "At night, the torpedoes of the other **** fleet are a deadly threat to us, and I have to consider the safety of my own fleet."
Looking at the roast, the German fleet commander explained his ulcer: "Dawn is launching an attack, at least the effect of the attack can be guaranteed. As for whether it will be discovered in advance, I don't think so!"
"Because of the sea conditions, the other side's aviation will not cover behind him, the visibility at night will be reduced, and the British patrol ships will not find our fleet." Lütjens said confidently.
Just hold out until tomorrow morning and his fleet will destroy a much larger British convoy just like the TC fleet.
And now, all the German fleet can do is to move north at high speed and pray, pray that their fleet will not be discovered
