Berlin time, June 5, 2 pm.
Minister of War and Chief of Staff Field Marshal Manstein, First Sea Lord Marshal Raeder, Air Force Minister Albert? Field Marshal Kesselring, rushed to the palace hand in hand to see Emperor Qin Tian of the Empire.
"Your Majesty is taking a lunch break. Please go to the office and wait a moment." Oscar's secretary said to the three ministers.
Field Marshal Manstein and others nodded and went to Oscar's office.
Ten minutes later, Oscar appeared in the office. Although he has the habit of taking a lunch break, it depends on the situation. Three important military officials came to see him at this time. It was obvious that something big had happened. Otherwise, they would not bother him at this time.
"Your Majesty, I'm very sorry for disturbing your rest!" Field Marshal Manstein looked apologetic.
Oscar waved his hand. "What happened? Was there an accident on the front line?"
"No, Your Majesty. All Capital Ships and aircraft carriers of Americans, as well as a large number of heavy cruisers, Light Cruiser and destroyers, have disappeared. We judge that those battleships of Americans have entered Atlantic Ocean." Field Marshal Manstein said.
Oscar's face suddenly became serious. Of course he knew what this meant. Obviously, the main force of American Navy quietly entered Atlantic Ocean, and it was definitely not for training. Its target must be German Navy.
"Your Majesty, Americans may really want to start a war with us this time!" Marshal Raeder also said.
Oscar nodded. "We are on Russian front, and Russians who has already fought can hardly hold on any longer. Under such circumstances, Americans will naturally not be able to sit still. This time, they are probably really going to take action."
Field Marshal Manstein and others all looked at Oscar, waiting for him to make the final decision.
"This battle between us and Americans has been inevitable for a long time. Since Americans is going to take action, we have no other way except to fight. Therefore, order our fleet to prepare to fight! Even if Americans uses all its main force, it may not be able to defeat us. It is still difficult to say who will win in the end." Oscar said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Raeder replied.
"Your Majesty, in addition to Home Fleet and Atlantic Fleet, is Mediterranean Fleet going to be dispatched?" Marshal Raeder asked. Atlantic Ocean is the main battlefield for Home Fleet and Atlantic Fleet, while Mediterranean Fleet plays more of a reserve role. Whether Mediterranean Fleet needs to be used at this time, Marshal Raeder cannot make a decision yet.
Oscar hesitated for a moment, and then made a decision. "Since Americans is using all his main force this time, he is obviously preparing to make a desperate move to defeat us. Under such circumstances, we naturally do not need to make any reservations. Since Americans wants to have a decisive battle with us on Atlantic Ocean, let's let Mediterranean Fleet also fight to defeat American Navy's main force."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Raeder looked serious.
There is no doubt that American Navy dispatched the main force. And German Navy also dispatched the main force this time. If German Navy wins, then they can take the initiative on Atlantic Ocean in one fell swoop. It even directly poses a threat to United States East Coast. After Russia's war has a result, Germany can even directly send troops to attack United States's homeland. But if German Navy loses this battle, the situation will become very unfavorable to Germany. At that time, Germany will have to rely on the air force base established by Western Europe to stop the invasion of Americans. It will be very difficult to defeat United States again. Therefore, Marshal Raeder and First Sea Lord are undoubtedly under tremendous pressure.
Of course, Marshal Raeder also believes that it is not that easy for American Navy to defeat German Navy when German Navy has dispatched the main force. As long as he doesn't make fatal mistakes, German Navy has a high chance of defeating American Navy.
"Imperial Air Force's base in the west must also be prepared. No one can guarantee whether American Navy will take this opportunity to launch an attack on our western coastal base." Oscar said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Air Force Minister Albert? Field Marshal Kesselring replied.
Although American Navy is unlikely to attack Western Europe before defeating German Navy. But no one can guarantee whether they will take risks. Although that won't pose any threat to Germany, it can make Europe panic. After all, as Germany continues to win in the war, most of the people in Europe are optimistic that Germany will win the final victory in this war. Even Europe people from all over the world are looking forward to Germany winning again. But if Americans's artillery shells and bombs fall on Europe's land, it will undoubtedly have a great impact on the confidence of the people of Europe countries. Therefore, Germany must avoid such a situation as much as possible.
"Everyone, Americans has decided to take action. Then, the decisive battle between us and Americans is about to begin. I hope we can win this battle!" Oscar said.
"Empire will win!" Several ministers were confident.
Everyone knows that when Americans wants to take action, Germany's main focus has to be transferred from Russian front to Atlantic Ocean. Fortunately, German military now has an absolute advantage over Russian front. As long as we fight step by step, Russia can be destroyed. This allows Germany to focus its main energy on Americans.
The headquarters of Wilhelmshaven, German Home Fleet.
Marshal Lütjens boarded the aircraft carrier 'Poseidon', the flagship of German Home Fleet. Other warships in the port are also ready.
Half an hour later, the main force of Home Fleet left Wilhelmshaven. Four 'Sovereign-class' aircraft carriers, four 'Constellation-class' aircraft carriers, four 'Kaiser-class' Battleship, and four 'Brandenburg-class' Battlecruiser, escorted by a large number of cruisers and destroyers, sailed out of the port and entered North Sea.
Azores, Port of Heroes, Imperial Navy Commander of the Atlantic Fleet Admiral Rolf Kars, boarded Atlantic Fleet's flagship aircraft carrier 'Zeus'. With American fleet missing, Atlantic Fleet's main force would be seeking death if they continued to stay in the port. Only by leaving the port and entering the vast ocean can we avoid being attacked by American fleet, and even find opportunities for ourselves to fight back.
Soon, Imperial Navy Atlantic Fleet's main battleships all sailed out of the Port of Heroes and entered the vast Atlantic Ocean.
