Chapter 832: Who Should Be Assigned to Be the Commander of the Aircraft Carrier
On the sparkling Atlantic Ocean, as far as the eye can see, the sea and the sky are colorful.
Yesterday's dark storm, the white waves, the waves, the huge waves, the unstoppable, the terrible weather of the fierce waves hitting everything as if it had never happened, everything quietly disappeared like a dream bubble.
Instead, there is a beautiful view of the sea that is peaceful and calm at this moment, which makes people mesmerize and watch.
Especially with the seagulls in the sky, the fish, dolphins, flying fish, and the white clouds that float slowly in the sky.
Accompanied by a group of naval officers, Dönitz stood early in the morning on the Midway aircraft carrier, where they were located; Facing the cool breeze of Xixi, I was refreshed.
"Did you do what the Führer asked us to do according to my orders for the aircraft carrier fleet we selected to go to the Pacific Theater?"
Dönitz asked, staring sternly at the officers beside him.
"All set!"
"We chose 12 battleships, 8 heavy cruisers, four light aircraft carriers, two Midway aircraft carriers, 38 destroyers, dozens of other large and small ships, and more than 400 carrier-based aircraft, half of which are Il-28 bombers!"
"In addition, we have more than 20 transport ships transporting parts for B-52 bombers, including tankers!"
Monica, one of Dönitz's lieutenants, immediately stood up and replied.
"The Führer attaches great importance to this secret bombing mission, so we must not fail!"
Dönitz added after a long silence.
"But now that we have dispatched the elite fleet of aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean to the distant Pacific Ocean, what about the Mediterranean naval battles, the Battle of Sicily, and the Battle of Cassino that we are currently using?"
"We can't always watch our battles on the Western Front being suppressed and fought by British and American troops!"
Adjutant Monica worried.
"We can only think of a way to do this, because I have no way to disobey the Führer's order!"
"And I have told the Führer all the good and then the bad that I can think of!"
"But he still acts like this, and I'm helpless!"
"However, the Führer is really going to the distant Atlantic Ocean this time, and he really has a very important secret mission to complete, so although I oppose it, I will not stop him!"
"Because we absolutely cannot allow the US military to complete the development of the atomic bomb, otherwise not only our Germany will be in danger, but even the whole world will be shrouded in the danger of nuclear weapons!"
Dönitz's eyes sharpened and he said seriously.
"Atomic bombs? What kind of weapon is this, and is it very powerful? ”
Hearing this, Adjutant Monica was puzzled.
The other naval officers also looked at each other, then stared at Dönitz curiously and waited for his reply.
"Some super bombs that can bomb our German mainland into ruins, and it can blow up a big city in a short time!"
Dönitz explained without concealment.
As soon as the words fell, all the naval officers' faces changed drastically, and their mouths were wide open in horror.
"When did the U.S. military develop such terrifying VD weapons and equipment, no wonder the Yuan Yuan sent troops to the Pacific Ocean so aggressively!"
After a long time, Adjutant Monica said with horror in her eyes.
As for the other officers, they were also talking to each other, and they were all talking in disbelief.
Dönitz, on the other hand, received the information on the deployment of the aircraft carrier fleet handed to him by another adjutant named Klaus, as well as the list of various naval officers sent to the Pacific.
"Which officer should I send as a commander for this combat mission?"
"This is really a headache, if we have as many aircraft carrier officers as the US military and Japan, there will be no need to worry so much!"
"Especially those aircraft carrier commanders with actual combat experience, we are even more lacking!"
Looking at the few suitable naval officers on the list, Dönitz deeply felt the lack of talent for aircraft carrier officers and had a headache.
