"Although we destroyed the American Navy's main force, they still have a considerable number of small and medium-sized warships. Once we launch attacks on cities in the United States, those American warships will certainly launch torpedo attacks against our fleet," Oscar reminded them.
Although the American Navy's main force had been wiped out, that did not mean it had completely lost the ability to fight back. If they deployed large numbers of destroyers in coastal waters to launch torpedo attacks, that would still pose an enormous threat to the German Navy.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Once we attack the United States, the timing will definitely be set during the day. The moment night falls, we will immediately withdraw from American waters. To guard against American torpedo attacks, we will specifically deploy destroyers and light cruisers for defense," Admiral Scheer said. They had long since made plans for these security concerns.
Oscar nodded. "In addition, we must watch out for American submarines. Especially at night—if American submarines slip into the midst of our fleet, the consequences will be grave."
During the last World War, German submarines had secretly slipped into Scapa Flow and inflicted tremendous losses on the British Royal Navy. Now the Americans and British were as close as two legs in the same pair of trousers; the Americans could not possibly be unaware of those battle examples.

If American submarines appear, our Sonar operators should be able to find them," Admiral Scheer said. At least during exercises, the German Navy's new destroyers had proven highly effective against submarines.
"That would be for the best." Oscar nodded in satisfaction.
As a transmigrator, Oscar naturally knew about those advanced weapons. Although
