Imperial Overlord

The British were devastated, and the Germans were actually not better than the British. What they didn’t know was that Lütjens did not go well this time to attack the British fleet.

As the saying goes, how can you not get wet shoes when you often stand by the river? The German navy was frequently dispatched in the port of Brest. In fact, the British navy's attack on the port of Brest did not stop for a moment.

Satisfied, Lütjens led his guerrilla fleet to sea from the port of Brest on November 29. As a result, the German navy lost the way-finding cruiser Nuremberg just after leaving the sea.

That night, Nuremberg led the fleet slowly out of Brest, followed by the battlecruiser Scharnhorst and the flagship aircraft carrier Zeppelin.

The German fleet was originally not rich, except for the battleship Bismarck that was being repaired, this time it still came out in full force.

As a result, at more than 9 o'clock in the night, there was a sudden loud noise in front of the fleet, and then the cruiser Nuremberg burst into flames, and the injury did not seem to be light.

This cruiser, which continuously followed the German guerrilla fleet to sea and had always been the bodyguard of the aircraft carrier Zeppelin, hit a mine outside the port of Brest...

The explosion of a mine deployed by the British Navy directly affected the itinerary of the German guerrilla fleet. The action, which was finally scheduled for the 29th, had to be postponed to the 30th.

The entire bow of the poor cruiser Nuremberg was blown into the sky by mines, 41 sailors were killed and 47 wounded.

Other German warships had to back up and return to Brest, and the Germans worked all night before towing the heavily flooded cruiser Nuremberg back to Brest.

As a result, more sad things continue to afflict the Nuremberg because the slipway is used to build submarines or repair other ships, and the Nuremberg will wait a few days before the repairs can begin...

As a result, the German naval guerrilla fleet, whose strength was once again damaged, could only abandon the Nuremberg and take the remaining battleships to sea again.

Therefore, the current strength of Lütjens can be said to be the low point of the guerrilla fleet. The entire fleet consisted of only five warships, Zeppelin, Prinz Eugen, Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and Tirpitz.

Such a small guerrilla fleet, but set off the next day, with the tragic revenge of the cruiser Nuremberg, entered the Atlantic Ocean, and severely damaged the CK-4 transport fleet.

Today, and right now, Lütjens and his old partner Hines are sailing to the east coast of the United States, where they are preparing to intercept the just-discovered British UK-2 convoy.

This convoy was a transport convoy from the United States to the United Kingdom, transporting a large amount of valuable supplies. And as soon as it appeared, it was discovered by a cruising German submarine.

German submarines rarely conduct reconnaissance patrols in such a forward position without Lütjens' guerrilla fleet behind them.

Because patrolling in this kind of place often finds the target, and loses the position to intercept, and can only watch the prey go away.

But now, German submarines have specially arranged patrols in order to lead the way for the maneuverable guerrilla fleet behind them. A fleet with a speed of more than 20 knots, coupled with carrier-based attack aircraft, is naturally faster and more convenient to intercept and attack.

Although it is known that the German fleet is wreaking havoc in the Atlantic Ocean, neither the United Kingdom nor the United States can suspend the dispatch of fleet transportation to the United Kingdom.

In order to maintain the operation of the British mainland, even if it bet on the 30% probability of not being discovered by German submarines in advance, the British did not dare to easily suspend the transportation of blood transfusions to the mainland.

"Wow!" Because the sea conditions were not good, the bow of the German battleship was washed away by the waves from time to time. The white spray splashed and shattered on the bow of the Atlantic ship.

The carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier Zeppelin have been covered with waterproof canvas at this moment. Carrier-based aircraft are squeamish equipment, and only with regular maintenance can they burst into combat power when needed.

"It looks like it's going to rain again!" Hines looked at the gray sky and said to Lütjens beside him.

Although his own fleet sank many transport ships of the British CK-4 transport fleet yesterday, Lütjens did not feel better.

He was still thinking about the Nuremberg, which had been destroyed by mines, and was worried about the future of the German partisan fleet under his command, which had been significantly weakened.

"Yeah!" Absentmindedly, Lütjens replied to Hines. He didn't even take back his gaze towards the distance, looking very anxious.

"What? Are you still worried about the cruiser Nuremberg?" Hines knew his colleague very well, and comforted him: "It will always be repaired and rejoin the battle! Don't worry!"

"Our battle has just begun! The first cruise battle was held in November... As a result, the battleship Bismarck was damaged, and now the Nuremberg is lost!" Lütjens vented his worries.

He retracted his gaze and looked at Hines beside him: "You are also a major general... Don't you think that our enemy is too powerful?"

While speaking, Lütjens stretched out his finger: "We sank several enemy warships, but the enemy is still strong... The enemy sank one of our warships, and we were weakened a lot!"

"Don't you worry, in such a consumption that although we have an advantage, although the weak we can win all the battles, we will be exhausted before the enemy?" When he said this, Lütjens again Expressed his concerns once.

Hines nodded, and then continued to comfort him: "Worry and fear can't solve the problem. The Führer gave us a chance to win. Whether we can seize such an opportunity depends on us."

"Think about it next time, the battleship Bismarck is going to rejoin the team, and our chances of winning against the British Navy are even greater!" Hines became more determined when he mentioned the head of state.

After the indoctrination of the Führer's crazy thoughts, and witnessing the rise of the naval aviation force with his own eyes, Hines was convinced of the Führer and believed that following the Führer's arrangements, he could win the war.

Although I don't know why, Lütjens now also believes in similar things. He feels that the Führer can really see through the future and can lead the German nation to glory!

So he is now fighting resolutely, desperately attacking the British lines of communication. Because he is sure that as long as he completes the Führer's plan, the Führer can completely defeat Britain.

"You're right! Worrying is useless now." Lütjens listened to Hines' persuasion, at least on the surface out of the shadows.

He squeezed a smile at Hines and said, "We can only accumulate a greater advantage by sinking more British ships now!"

"Yes! At least before the latter warship is sunk, we will sink the last British warship!" Hines said with an encouraging tone.

Hearing Hines' encouragement, Lütjens nodded and told the officer in the distance, "Keep the route! When the radar search finds the target, change the route immediately!"

They are a pair of partners who have already figured out each other's temper. During the long sailing time, they comforted and encouraged each other, made up for each other's shortcomings, and exerted more power in battle.

"I heard that the Japanese are very interested in our tactics? They also sent a special envoy to find the Yuan chief for our naval aviation tactics?" Putting aside his worries for a while, Lütjens said to Hines next to him. Another thing happened.

Japanese allies from afar seemed to be so envious of the German victories in the Atlantic that they demanded tours of German aircraft carriers, and even offered to take with them all the records and reports of several naval battles.

"Yes! The head of state is very willing to help with the Japanese's requirements... but I heard that there are really a lot of conditions." Hines did not know the specific details, after all, this thing is a high-level secret.

However, it is related to the top of the Navy, and it is also directly related to the Naval Air Force. Hines still has some inside information: "I heard that Marshal Redel has ordered the relevant departments to sort out a set of records and hand them over to the Japanese to take away."

"Supporting the expansion of allies in Asia, and containing some of the power of the United States and the United Kingdom...Isn't this a normal thing, why did the head of state make so many demands?" Lutjens also heard some inside stories.

For example, the head of state asked Japan for a series of strategic materials such as steel, rubber, and timber. I heard that the head of state will also come to the design drawings of the Japanese aircraft carrier... Hearing it makes people feel pain in Japan.

Some people even swear by word of mouth that most of these materials in Japan were transported from the Far East to Germany by Soviet railways. As for drawings such as aircraft carriers, a submarine is arranged to be specially transported here~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The rumors are justified and well-founded, but the specifics are not able to be made by Hines and Lutjens. Got it.

In fact, Li Le also asked for another drawing. This drawing is the design drawing of the largest laboratory centrifuge in the Far East in the University of Tokyo, Japan!

With this design, compared with its own domestic centrifuge, Germany's research in the atomic field can avoid many detours, and the process of researching the atomic bomb can be accelerated.

"Sir! The search radar on the battlecruiser Scharnhorst on the right side of the fleet found the British fleet!" An officer came over and interrupted the gossip between the two.

Lütjens immediately entered the state and began to perform his duty as the commander of the fleet: "Let the Gneisenau on the left flank move closer to me! The fleet turns to the right and leans towards the British convoy!"

"The fleet turns! Target the British fleet!" The sailor fiddled with the steering wheel in his hand and repeated Lütjens's order loudly.
