Chapter 820: The German Army Advances Eastward!
The result of the Battle of the Azores was that almost all of the 150 warships of the European Combined Navy were destroyed, and the Atlantic Combined Fleet of the Pacific Empire, 120 warships, only 40 remained, of which only 8 were the main warships, and most of these 8 were injured, and the most surviving were submarines, 18 submarines could still work, although there were also injuries such as water leakage, other types of warships, corvettes, torpedo ships, etc., those who could survive should go to buy lottery tickets.
In the air, of the 150 aircraft carriers, 37 crashed, 10 were wounded, and 30 bombers were shot down, but when they dived and dropped bombs, they were hit by dense fire.
There is no way, the carrier-based aircraft at this time is also this way of playing, relying on their own dives to drop bombs, so that they can play the role of that torpedo, and as for the explosives brought by some aircraft, the effect is really not big, and then these planes see that there are no enemy planes in the air, so they will simply hang torpedoes.
There were even pilots from Area 11 who heroically drove their wounded fighters into the opponent's warship......
When Li Mengyang got such a report on the results of the battle in Washington, he had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
First of all, the pilots of the 11 sector were commendable, but our empire did not encourage such behavior.
That's right, he, Li Mengyang, is not the emperor, he is not so TAI.
Secondly, that is the choice of the European Combined Fleet, that is, to fight to the death and not retreat, and finally inflict heavy losses on our Atlantic Combined Fleet, which is really ......
Li Mengyang has the answer, he knows the reason why Fisher chose it this way!
Fisher wanted to leave a glimmer of opportunity for Europe. That is the total annihilation of the United Navy. to inflict heavy damage on the Atlantic Combined Fleet. Let my empire suffer serious damage to its combat power, so as to give Europe time and give them a chance to build more warships to make a last-ditch effort.
Of course, there are some individual details in this, such as the fact that of course it is impossible to destroy all 150 warships, and some of them are fast warships and escape back. Convey the details of this naval battle to Europe, that is, to Britain, and give them the opportunity to formulate the following battle plan.
Not to mention anything else, as long as the power of that aircraft carrier has been exposed now, then the Europeans will definitely find a way to restrain this thing.
To put it bluntly, it was to leave the last hope for the European side, and if Fisher surrendered, or if they ran later, then the final result would not be good.
The Combined Atlantic Fleet can maintain considerable combat power. And there are aircraft carriers, so it will be difficult to run even if the opponent wants to. The plane can see far from the air, and the reconnaissance effect is excellent, so there is no way to hide itself through multiple means like in previous naval battles.
So, that's it, if you lose anyway, you will be sunk anyway, and you can't surrender, which will boost the strength of your opponent, so you will use the most heroic way to inflict serious losses on my imperial fleet!
What a great guy indeed!
But that's it......
Although Li Mengyang respects and admires Fisher, he still thinks that Fisher is a little underestimating himself, because ah, where is the strength of my Pacific Empire?
"Let the Pacific Fleet transfer the main force, and the South China Sea Fleet will transfer a part, both of which will move to the Atlantic theater, and then reorganize with the three ships Zhenyuan, Dingyuan, and Zhiyuan, with the three ships as the core, the three aircraft carriers will be separated, and the single aircraft carrier will cooperate with other warships to become an aircraft carrier battle ......group."
This is the order issued by Li Mengyang in Washington, and his order is very simple, that is, three fleets will be conjured up at once!
By the way, three aircraft carriers, then this is surrounded by all kinds of warships, frigates, submarines, torpedo ships, etc., isn't this a fleet?
And it's very powerful, huh?
In addition, there are a lot of aircraft carriers and warships on the imperial side, and this speed seems to be very fast, very, very fast, so ......
Fisher's abacus is probably about to fail!
I have to say that although Fisher's decision was correct and very heroic, time is still on the side of my empire......
The future Pacific Empire battle plan is very simple, one model aircraft battle group to blockade the west coast of Africa, basically this is enough, and the other two, then this is to the British seas, and the northern waters of the European continent to develop, that is, to harass, to raid, there is the location of Britain, France, Germany.
After this war, the European navy is basically weakened, I am afraid that Germany still has the strength, after all, they do not have many good warships in the combined navy, but however, the scale of victory at sea is already completely inclined to our Pacific Empire.
After that, the battle was mainly a battle of wits and courage with the German submarine force, and Germany vigorously developed the submarine as it did in World War II.
In fact, this thing has a very good effect, and the German side has technology, steel technology is excellent, but their resources are not too much, so it is a bit inadequate to play giant warships like Britain and the Pacific Empire.
So, of course, submarines are a good choice for them......
This is already the case at sea, and on land, it doesn't take long for it to change again......
"Germans! Don't deceive too much! ”
"Soviet cowards! What kind of are you guys talking about?! ”
A big thing happened in Europe, and that was when Germany broke the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact, and their mechanized troops entered Estonia!
In fact, in Estonia it is very, very sensitive, because it has already been occupied by the Russians...... Well, or not sensitively, it's just obvious, that Germany is going to have a fight with the Soviets!
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the German army to enter the territory of the Soviets!
"I, the great people of the Soviets! Fight back against Germany's actions! We declare war on Germany! ”
I have to say, the Russians are still very simple, you hit me, I will fight back immediately, and the declaration of war is very painful.
And the German side is also unambiguous, with its own blitzkrieg, the mechanized troops continue to deepen, this is a very beautiful fight.
But that's it......
"Gentlemen, shall we march into the Soviets now?"
"Mr. Adolf, there's nothing wrong with that?"
"Yes, Mr. Adolf! You know, the unification of Europe has already fallen on the shoulders of our Germans, and we cannot shirk it! ”
"That's right! The Russians in the Soviets, they are just a bunch of barbarians! We're going to transform them! ”
In the German Chancellery, there are some core members of the People's Party, and there is a lot of discussion about this war, but the chairman of the party, that is, German President Adolf, has expressed his dissatisfaction with the current situation.
Why attack the Soviets now?
Yes, a simple thought shows that this situation should not be done at all, because although Germany cannot fully trust the Russians, after all, everyone has signed an agreement, and this Eastern Front is safe for the time being.
What Germany should do now is to go south, to Africa, or to the Middle East, because there is oil there!
Oil in the Middle East is still an academic thing, that is, there are geologists who study and think that there should be oil there, but as for whether there is oil or not, I don't know yet, but there is oil in Ethiopia.
The Italians have been there before, and they know very well, so the current situation should be to get these raw materials.
But now, there are many, many people, they don't want to go to the south, they think it's too barren, we in Germany don't need to go there, we should go to Russia, Russia is also very rich in resources, and ah, this attack on Russia, there are a lot of small countries along the way, these small countries have to have some money, right?
It's just to grab a sum, and that's really the case, because the current German finances are so big now, and it's really difficult to engage in national employment.
This decision...... It is indeed very problematic, but what is even more problematic is that Adolf feels that Germany at the moment seems to be a little ......
Get out of hand! Adolf is a little out of control!
