Buru not only has an army that is among the best in the world, but also has a navy. However, Bolshevik Navy is much weaker than other naval powers.
Bolshevik Navy's four Capital Shipss were built with the help of Germany. Of course, Germany also gained considerable profits from the construction of these four Battleships. More importantly, the four Battleships cost a lot of money, which made Buru have a very hard life for several years. In order to pay this money, a lot of resources and Agricultural Products were used to offset the account.
In addition to the four Capital Ships, Buru built some cruisers and destroyers as well as submarines on its own. Although the number is not large, overall, the strength is not weak.
However, Bolshevik Navy felt threatened before the war broke out. Therefore, they left from the Baltic Sea and went to the naval base located at Murmansk. If they still stay in the Baltic Sea after the war breaks out, they will only be locked in by German Navy and easily eliminated. If you go to Murmansk, you can at least move north of the Barents Sea and Norwegian Sea, and you can even go deep into Atlantic Ocean. In this case, their threat to German Navy is relatively greater.
If German Navy is in a decisive battle with American Navy, and Bolshevik Navy comes out from behind, it will undoubtedly be a huge threat. Although, in front of the huge German Navy, Bolshevik Navy is undoubtedly very weak. But many times the outcome of a war is determined by these weak forces. Especially German Home Fleet and Atlantic Fleet, with similar strength to American Navy, Bolshevik Navy may be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
"If Bolshevik Navy continues to exist, it will be a big threat to us. It seems that we have to get rid of them before going to war with Americans. In this case, not only can we further attack Buru, and it can also cut off their overseas trade lines. More importantly, it allows us to fight Americans on Atlantic Ocean without any worries!" Marshal Raeder said.
"Yes, Your Excellency, Minister. Home Fleet can complete this task!" Marshal Lütjens said immediately. This is undoubtedly a good opportunity for Home Fleet. You can practice with Bolshevik Navy before the decisive battle with Americans. Of course, this is also a rare opportunity to gain military exploits. Although the performance of the four Battleship Bolshevik Navy is pretty good. But it is also the old Battleship that has been in service for nearly twenty years. Moreover, no modern modifications have been carried out. German Navy's Home Fleet can easily send them to the bottom of the sea.
Marshal Raeder nodded. "Home Fleet's main force also needs to be used to defend Americans. Therefore, just send some battleships there."
"Okay, Your Excellency, Minister. I think we can completely eliminate them by dispatching four 'Kaiser-class' Battleship and two 'Constellation-class' aircraft carriers." Marshal Lütjens is full of confidence.
"After I return to Berlin, I will propose this battle plan to His Majesty the Emperor. As long as Your Majesty agrees, you can go out. However, I hope you can be more cautious. This can be regarded as Imperial Navy's first battle in this war. "We not only need to win, but we also need to avoid major casualties as much as possible. Otherwise, it will have a serious impact on Imperial Navy's morale. At the same time, it will also make other countries' navies lose their respect for Imperial Navy!" Marshal Raeder reminded.
"Yes, Your Excellency, Minister!" Marshal Lütjens nodded solemnly.
After German Navy defeated British Navy and became the overlord of the sea, it has been awe-inspiring throughout the world. The navies of other countries are afraid of German Navy. To some extent, this is very beneficial to German Navy. But if German Navy paid a heavy loss in the battle to solve Bolshevik Navy. Especially if Capital Ships or the aircraft carrier is damaged, other countries may no longer be afraid of German Navy. This will undoubtedly be very detrimental to German Navy in future wars.
Marshal Raeder took the train back to Berlin that afternoon. Although, the reliability of aircraft has been greatly improved. But the possibility of a crash still exists, and it's not small. Therefore, Emperor Qin Tian of the Empire stipulates that Empire's important ministers and generals are not allowed to fly unless necessary. Of course, many frontline generals are still accustomed to taking transport planes when traveling back and forth. That way, it's much faster.
The next night, Marshal Raeder met with the Emperor of the Empire and formally proposed to him Home Fleet's battle plan to eliminate Bolshevik Navy.
Oscar puts the battle plan on the table.
For the powerful German Navy, even if Home Fleet sends half of Capital Ships and aircraft carriers, it can easily crush Bolshevik Navy. The disparity in strength between the two is really too great.
However, Oscar and Marshal Raeder have the same worries. I'm afraid German Navy will have an accident during this battle. In that case, I'm afraid the gains outweigh the losses.
"Your Majesty. Home Fleet is ready. It is very likely that they will solve Bolshevik Navy with a very small target. Once Bolshevik Navy is solved, the submarine force will be able to Buru is completely banned. In this case, Americans can no longer transport war materials to Buru through North Atlantic route," Marshal Raeder said.
Oscar nodded, and Americans transfused blood to Buru through North Atlantic route. This was undoubtedly very disadvantageous for Germany. Now, although Germany has severely injured Buru once, it has not caused a fatal blow to Buru. Even after Baku oil fields was destroyed, Buru was still very powerful. If Buru can continuously obtain war supplies from United States, they will have enough strength to continue fighting Germany. In that case, Germany will pay a greater price on the Buru battlefield. Such a result is obviously not what Oscar wants to see.
"In this case, let Marshal Lütjens take action! I hope they can get a perfect victory!" Oscar said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Marshal Raeder replied.
Later, Oscar discussed some matters with Marshal Raeder about the next step of the navy's construction. German Navy In addition to the large-scale construction of aircraft carriers, supporting warships are also being built, including large air defense cruisers, heavy cruisers, anti-submarine destroyers, etc. Ensure that the Germany aircraft carrier can have strong survivability in war.
