Chapter 391: Shock
"It's been a long time since the friendly aircraft carrier of the German Second Fleet took off its fighters, and at this time, it's time for the results." As the commander of the Norwegian fleet, Auger had no bottom in his heart at this time.
Although the Norwegian Navy is also called the Royal Navy, the British Navy is also called the Royal Navy. However, the gap between the navies of these two countries is very different.
If the Germans could not defeat the British Navy, then all the Norwegian battleships present would have just gathered an extra batch of funeral goods for the German High Seas Fleet.
"No matter what the situation of the war, you must accept all orders of Commander Raeder of the German Navy in full, even if the price is heavy, you can't refuse!"
At the thought of Norwegian Prime Minister Quisling's repeated strict orders, Auger's mouth was bitter.
The power of Norway was preserved with the help of the Germans. In return, the Norwegian government gave the pro-German Quisling faction complete power, relinquishing important positions to these officials whom the Germans nodded and confirmed.
I don't know how the Germans happened to find such a Norwegian as Giesling, who was full of currying favor with Germany. As soon as Ghisling came to power, he immediately used his power to tie the fate of the Kingdom of Norway to the chariot of the Third Reich, and his actions were nothing short of loyal to Germany.
And such a Norwegian prime minister, who was bent on currying favor with the German government, almost without considering it in detail, agreed to this joint operation without giving detailed consideration to it, and presented Norway's only main fleet for the high seas fleet.
Commanding a total of only 2 Blonde King Harald-class coastal defense ships, 2 Norwegian-class coastal defense ships, plus the eight-legged Pegasus, Odin, Nordic Poseidon, Illuminati, Thor, and Nordic Vulcan, these 6 eight-legged Pegasus-class large torpedo boats that can basically be regarded as escort destroyers, Augur can be said to have not dared to relax for a moment.
By the time the Anglo-French forces invaded Norway, the Norwegian Navy had lost all four large torpedo boats of the Aquatic Maiden class and two large torpedo boats of the Rapids class. At present, the only Norwegian warship that remained in the harbor was a large torpedo boat Calm, and a bunch of shore defense boats that were no different from the furnishings.
In other words, ninety percent of the Norwegian Navy was brought by Auger to the German-Norwegian combined fleet. In the event of defeat in this battle, the Norwegian Navy will no longer be able to raise its strength.
"General, our liaison officer who left with Commander Raeder of the German army, there has been no news so far." The adjutant walked over to Og's side, swallowed his saliva, and said in a low voice.
No news is more uncomfortable than getting bad news. This made the Norwegian naval officers and men, who had put their fate on the German High Seas Fleet, like ants on a hot pot, constantly suffering in their hearts.
Auger, who was in the command room, looked at the majestic German battleships in the distance outside the window, and was a little distracted for a while.
Such a mighty fleet may not be possessed by the Norwegian Navy in its lifetime.
Yes, the German High Seas Fleet is a presence that the Norwegian Navy needs to look up to. But does this mean that the High Seas Fleet is strong enough to be invincible?
If the opponent is a small country like Denmark, Belgium, or Norway, perhaps the High Seas Fleet does have an overwhelming advantage.
But the opponent is the British Empire, so it is not necessarily.......
After a moment, Auge shook his head with a wry smile, withdrew his somewhat sloppy gaze, looked at his subordinates, and said, "The captains of all ships should go back and prepare, in case the German First Fleet fails, we will have to go up with their Second Fleet to meet the rout." ”
In front of the nervous faces of dozens of Norwegian naval officers, Augur opened his mouth, but did not immediately make a sound.
What should he say now?
At this time, he deserves to get a battle report from the front. However, they have not received news here.
Under normal circumstances, if you don't know the battle report from the front after the time when you should get the news, it is most likely that you have lost a battle and have not had time to repay, or you can return it unhurriedly after a big victory.
In the face of the invincible British Royal Navy, as long as he could not suffer losses, Auger did not dare to expect the German allies to win the next battle.
What kind of country is Germany, it is a land power, and it has always taken the route of army hegemony. They may be invincible on land, but the way they fight on the road is completely inapplicable at sea.
And what about the UK? Others are countries that rely on sea power to build their foundations, and they are "empires on which the sun never sets" that rely on naval warfare to achieve superpower status.
And such an enemy is more than naval hard power...... Looking at the whole of Europe, it seems that there is really no other country that can compare.
Originally, Germany almost caught up, but after the end of World War I, a "rainbow operation" caused Germany to lose all its main warships. The current German Navy, no matter how powerful it is, is at most a rising star, how can it compete with an old maritime hegemon like Britain.
The reason why the rising star is called the rising star is because the German Navy started too late, and it lacked too much time than the British Navy, which never had a fault.
time, gave the British Navy more experience, better training and more warships.
Although Auger did not know how many warships the British had in their hands, he at least understood that this number was definitely more than that of the Germans.
It's not easy to win with less.
Otherwise, why did the Germans even pull together this little battleship from Norway?
It's not that I want to make up for the gap with the British Navy a little more, a little more power!
Pulling together all the forces that can be co-opted, this sentence sounds very reasonable. But in reality, most of the people who need to do this are the weak parties. It is precisely because of the lack of strength that they try to supplement their strength.
"Let's go back and prepare, it's time to repay the Germans for their kindness in sending troops to our country to help us defeat the British and French invaders." Auger was reluctant to say what he thought, but reality seemed to force him to say, "Even if the whole army is destroyed, today we will live and die with our allies." Fight to the death! This is the only reward that our Norwegians can do for our allies......."
From Oger's words, his pessimism is already clearly revealed.
In his opinion, in this naval battle, the ability is a mistake.
A wrong time, the wrong combination of a combined fleet, with the wrong opponent, is conducting a wrong military operation.
However, as soon as Og's words fell, a voice exploded in his ears.
"Commander! Carrier-based aircraft," a combat staff officer, stumbling open the door of the command room, and one staggered in front of Auger: "Carrier-based aircraft, German carrier-based aircraft...... They suppressed the British fleet, the battle situation at the front, a victory! ”
The words of the combat staff officer were like a bomb that detonated this command room.
Ogur felt a feeling of disbelief, and his head rattled and he felt dizzy......
