December 1939 2nd, German Home Fleet base Wilhelmshaven. The native Fleet Commander Lütjens naval marshal boarded the 'Caesar' Battleship.
Although, aircraft carriers have become the absolute main force of German Navy. But many generals are still willing to use Battleship as their flagship. This time the attack on Bolshevik Navy was launched, and the four ships 'Lion-class' and 'Battleship' were undoubtedly the main force. Therefore, Marshal Lütjens chose the 'Caesar' number Battleship as the flagship.
If there is a decisive battle with American Navy in the future, he may move his headquarters to an aircraft carrier. After all, in the decisive battle with American Navy, the aircraft carrier is the well-deserved main force.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, we will definitely win this battle easily!" Marshal Lütjens looked confident.
Marshal Raeder nodded. He believed that with German Home Fleet's strength, he would be able to defeat Bolshevik Navy.
In order to cover up this action, when Home Fleet left Wilhelmshaven, not only four 'Kaiser-class' Battleship and two 'Constellation-class' aircraft carriers, but all eight Capital Ships and four 'Constellation-class' aircraft carriers went to sea.
This action of German Navy immediately made American Navy on the other side of the ocean feel like he was facing a formidable enemy. After all, German Home Fleet's entire army was dispatched. If they came for American Navy, then they would be in danger.
Suddenly, American Navy Operations Department issued an order, American Navy canceled all vacations, and all personnel must return to their battleships as soon as possible. At the same time, various Reconnaissance Aircraft, reconnaissance ships and spies became active, trying to figure out the purpose of German Navy.
Even President Roosevelt paid attention to this matter. He was also worried that German Navy would go to war without declaring it and launch a sneak attack on American Navy. If German Navy succeeds, United States will suffer heavy losses. In this war, it is even more impossible for United States to win.
United States In Germany, there are a lot of spies. Especially after the relationship between the two countries broke down, a large number of German Americans left United States and returned to Germany. Among these people, there are also many United States* military spies.
In order to clarify German Navy's actions, the United States* military did not hesitate to expose a large number of spies. This led Germany's security department and intelligence department to join forces and arrest many United States spies, causing United States's spy network in Germany to almost suffer a fatal blow.
It was not until four days later that a United States submarine operating in the Norwegian Sea discovered German fleet, and after risking his life to send Telegram, American Navy was able to confirm German Navy's actions. Of course, the United States submarine was not able to escape after launching Telegram. It was caught by the German Navy anti-submarine destroyer that quickly caught up, and was finally bombed and sunk in the cold Norwegian Sea.
American Navy Operations Department Commander Harold Admiral Stark and American Navy Fleet Commander-in-Chief Admiral James Richardson, Deputy Fleet Commander Admiral Nimitz, Commander of the Atlantic Fleet Admiral Ernest King, Capital Ships Commander Admiral Haspen Kimmel, American Navy 1st aircraft carrier Fleet Commander Lieutenant General Halsey. The 2nd aircraft carrier Fleet Commander Lieutenant General Fletcher, the 3rd aircraft carrier Fleet Commander Major General Spruance and others discussed the situation.
"Your Excellency Minister, German navy should not be coming for us. They are now heading to the north of the Norwegian Sea. Moreover, their fleet is not large, with only four Battleship and two aircraft carriers and some escort warships. Therefore, the Germany people should deal with Bolshevik Navy this time, not us!" Admiral James Richardson said.
Harold Admiral Stark nodded. After receiving the information, he actually thought so.
"However, even so, we cannot take it lightly. After all, German Home Fleet's other four Capital Ships and two 'Constellation-class' aircraft carriers are also missing. If they cooperate with Germany's Atlantic Fleet, they will still pose a great threat to us." Admiral Nimitz said.
Harold Admiral Stark discussed it with other generals and made a decision after considering everyone's opinions.
"From now on, all fleets will maintain the highest combat readiness. In addition, notify Russians of the movements of Germany people." Harold Admiral Stark said.
"Yes, Your Excellency Minister!" everyone replied.
After the meeting ended, Major General Spruance stayed. He still had his own opinions that he had not yet expressed. It's just that there were many people just now, so he didn't say anything.
"Your Excellency Minister, can we use this opportunity to sneak attack German Navy. If everything goes well, we can eliminate half of German Navy's Home Fleet's strength. If other fleets can cooperate well, maybe the results can be further improved." Major General Spruance said.
Harold Admiral Stark thought for a while and shook his head, "The Germany people will not be attacked by us so easily. What's more, we and Germany are not at war. Now we are not ready to participate in the war. A hasty sneak attack will cause the war to break out in advance. In addition, even if we sink several Battleship and aircraft carriers of the Germany people, it will not pose much threat to German Navy."
Major General Spruance nodded and said nothing more. This was just a rough idea of his.
After Buru's top brass learned that German Navy had dispatched a fleet to attack their navy, Joseph immediately summoned Bolshevik Navy Commander-in-Chief Admiral Isakov.
After Admiral Isakov German military actually sent two aircraft carriers and four powerful Battleship to deal with them, his face suddenly became very ugly. He is very aware of the strength of Bolshevik Navy. There is no possibility of winning against the fleet sent by German Navy.
"Comrade Joseph, German fleet are too powerful. If we fight German fleet rashly, we may not have any chance of winning!" Admiral Isakov said bravely.
Joseph nodded, knowing that Admiral Isakov was telling the truth. After all, except for the initial purchase of four Battleship from Germany, Buru does not pay attention to the development of the navy. Now facing German Navy's strong Grand Fleet, naturally he can't beat him.
"Comrade Isakov, how are you going to deal with Germany people?" Joseph asked.
"Comrade Joseph, if possible, I hope to avoid German Navy and preserve my strength!" Isakov said.
