Chapter 66: To Each His Own (Revision)
Vice Admiral Speer reached out and took Reinhardt. Admiral Scheer looked at the plan in his hand, like his bearded "old sailor" superior, and he couldn't believe that it was something that the stiff-headed staff officers in the staff department had in mind.
This plan did not change much from their plan for a decisive battle with the main fleet of the British Royal Navy, but this revised plan mentioned two new, decisive tactical clusters.
The plan was as originally designed, and Vice Admiral Speer's decoy fleet was still dispatched to lure the enemy. Still by Reinhardt. Admiral Scheer's main fleet delivered the final blow, but this time the British would be fighting in an extremely unfavorable situation.
The decisive tactical coordination cluster of the two will go out together with the decoy fleet, in which the tactical cluster of submarines ordered as a wolf pack will increase the number of large submarines to 36, and they will be freed from reconnaissance and patrol tasks.
Their combat mission will be to lay in ambush halfway through the expedition, and completely stop and lurk.
The other cluster is a seaplane combat cluster, which uses 150 new water attack aircraft. Also accompanied by a swarm of decoys, halfway they will unload the loaded seaplanes and prepare for the attack.
The ships of the British Royal Navy, which blockaded the Skagerrak Strait in the North Sea, inevitably summoned the home fleet to attack when they discovered the German naval decoy fleet. Vice Admiral Speer's decoy fleet will engage the enemy before retreating to the predetermined sea.
At that time, the British fleet was a decoy fleet in front, a wolf pack under the sea, an attack group of 150 water attack aircraft in the sky, and Reinhardt on the flank. Admiral Scheer's main fleet.
Looking at this plan, Vice Admiral Schell became excited.
His mind quickly sketched out what if he had inflicted heavy damage or wiped out Britain's home main fleet. Then German warships could deal a major blow to British ocean shipping, as had been planned before the war.
Before the weaning of the British Empire, the sun will set because there is no replenishment of colonial troops and supplies. Just think about it, how can this not excite Vice Admiral Speer?
Originally, the war had reached this point and Germany had lost the possibility of a quick victory, and many Germans were already thinking about how to get a decent chance to end the war.
But now it seems that the possibility of war is burning again, and it depends entirely on the German navy. It is conceivable that if they are victorious, the generals who commanded this operation this time will receive supreme glory. At the same time, the United States and Italy, which have always been eager to participate in the war, will also give careful consideration to it first.
Especially the United States, how can they send their troops to Europe intact? Without the participation of the Americans, how long would the weaning of Britain and France, which had lost the help of its partners, survive the blows of the German army?
Looking at the joy under his hands, it seems that he has seen the hope of victory in the war. Reinhart. Scheer stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
"For the first time, really for the first time, I saw the hope of victory in the war! If those planes arrive, I think we should see how good they really are at striking warships, and we should have some proper exercises. ”
In the days that followed, the two men were amazed by the aircraft's ability to attack warships. These planes could only carry one torpedo and only one rear-firing 7.62 mm self-defense machine gun. But it can be seen that it is enough to deal with warships with much lower relative speeds, especially when such warships generally do not have the concept of air defense.
Although seaplane carriers converted from oil tankers cannot make planes take off and land from the deck, their spacious compartments are suitable for carrying aircraft and combat materials, so the workload of modification is not large.
Although these seaplane carriers were slower, they were generally a little faster than the British seaplane carriers converted from old coal carriers. Their speed also kept up with the speed of the fleet, which made the two admirals even more satisfied after watching the exercise.
Looking at the target ships in the sea, hit by torpedoes dropped by attack planes on the water, and bursting into flames, the two generals who have been fighting at sea all their lives seem to have something in mind.
It is not difficult to see that this plan, issued in the name of the German General Staff, is actually just a tactic of Tang Yunyang after combining the wolf pack tactics of submarines in World War II, the means used in conjunction with the air assault of the mother carrier-based aircraft, and the multiplication of large ships and giant guns. For the people of this era, it is tantamount to a revolution in tactics.
Although the British had a soft spot for aircraft carriers, they had never heard of wolf pack tactics, so they were certain to see the consequences of this naval battle.
Tang Yunyang, who came up with this idea for the Germans, also had to get something for himself, otherwise how could he be considered a good businessman? According to the previous judgment, and sure enough, the German side, which was now preoccupied by the war in Europe, promised to provide the Truk Islands for the use of the Iron Wing Company. He even told them that he would drive out all those who got in the way, leaving them with only an empty island.
The only requirement is that it is only borrowed, and in no way the sovereignty is transferred to them.

Just after Tang Yunyang completed this small exchange, he and Nancy. Green said goodbye, and he had to go back to war-torn Europe, which was where China's rise began.
The airship had to be slightly veered in the direction of India, where the voyage would be shortened with the help of the atmosphere.
For the people on the airship, the twenty-odd day journey was quite boring. However, for Tang Yunyang, a person who is used to not sleeping at night, this is nothing.
Under the small lamp, there is a new notebook. Tang Yunyang often recalls something, or imagines anything, he will write it down while he still remembers, and when he looks back, he has to try to hand over these things to Mike. Lang, I want him to try to make it happen.
Now, thanks to the establishment of the Iron Wing Company, he needs to hand over some advanced things to the company on the Nanyang side, after all, the capital of this company is entirely owned by him and Mike. Lang composition, it should be more convenient to do things. At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and in came the sultry Minister of Intelligence, Marianne.
The heavy smoke in Tang Yunyang's room made him frown, and he opened the window of the cabin with his hand, and a fresh night air from high in the sky blew into the room.
Carrying and looking at Marianne, who was moving on her own, Tang Yunyang was a little surprised to find that she was only wearing her silk pajamas when she came.
What about good businessmen? According to the previous judgment, and sure enough, the German side, which was now preoccupied by the war in Europe, promised to provide the Truk Islands for the use of the Iron Wing Company.
