On the afternoon of June 14, 1940, German Naval Ministry. Emperor Qin Tian of the Empire arrived here together with Minister of War and Chief of Staff Field Marshal Manstein and Air Force Minister Albert? Field Marshal Kesselring.
Imperial Navy Minister Marshal Raeder, Navy submarine force Commander Marshal Dönitz, and Navy native Fleet Commander Marshal Lütjens, Navy Commander of the Atlantic Fleet General Rolf Kars, Mediterranean Fleet Commander Hull General Mann Boehm, greet Oscar at the door of the Naval Ministry. After the Battle of the Azores victory, the three Grand Fleets returned to their respective home ports to rest. The third Grand Fleet, Commander, took the seaplane to the country first, waiting for the summons of the Emperor of the Empire.
Although German Navy won the naval battle of Azores, its own losses were not small. A large number of damaged warships need to be repaired, and the lost Carrier-based aircraft and pilots need to be replaced. Even the ammunition and fuel, which were almost exhausted during the war, needed to be replenished. Therefore, German military did not pursue American fleet.
In fact, German fleet has no strength to continue fighting. They need to rest and recuperate before they can continue fighting.
"Your Majesty!" The generals saluted Oscar respectfully.
With Imperial Navy's victory in the battle of Azores, Germany's victory in this battle of World War has undoubtedly been established. It can be said that Germany's final victory in this war is already a certainty.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone!" Oscar smiled. The navy generals and marshals were very happy that German Empire had won the victory. Of course, they will inevitably be promoted in the future.
"Your Majesty, this is my responsibility. It is my honor to be able to defeat powerful enemies for the Empire." Marshal Lütjens said.
General Rolf Kars and General Hull Mann Bohm both nodded. To be able to defeat United States this time, they undoubtedly made a great contribution. No need to think about it, they will soon get the promotion they dream of. At the latest, after completely defeating United States, they can be promoted to Marshal Imperial Navy as they wish. This is undoubtedly what both of them desire.
Under the leadership of Marshal Raeder, Oscar and others entered Naval Ministry.
In the war room of the Naval Ministry, the generals of Oscar and Empire began to discuss the next naval tasks and plans.
"Although Your Majesty and Imperial Navy severely damaged American Navy in this battle and defeated them. However, our losses are not small. The sunk aircraft carrier and Battleship cannot be made up for in a short time. However, those damaged Capital Ships and aircraft carriers need to be repaired as soon as possible. In this way, we will have enough power to further suppress American Navy on Atlantic Ocean." Marshal Raeder said.
Oscar nodded. "Instruct the major shipyards to step up repairs of the damaged warships of the Navy! In the battle against United States, they will have to be further used."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Marshal Raeder replied.
"Your Majesty, American Navy. In this battle, a fighter with fairly good performance was dispatched. This should be the F4U fighter plane that we have information on. I have to admit that the performance of this fighter is pretty good, and it can barely compete with our carrier-based BF-109 fighter. Only the carrier-based F Only the W-190 fighter jets can suppress them. I suggest that the Home Fleet, Atlantic Fleet and Mediterranean Fleet carrier-based fighter jets be replaced by the carrier-based FW-190 fighter jets. Only in this way can the American Navy be suppressed at the minimum cost." Marshal Lütjens suggested.
Oscar agreed with this, "The production line of carrier-based BF-109 fighter jets has been shut down, and the production of carrier-based FW-190 fighter jets will be accelerated from now on. The carrier-based fighter jets on all aircraft carriers on Atlantic Ocean will be converted into carrier-based FW-190 fighter jets. After there is excess production, the aircraft carriers on Pacific Ocean will be converted!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" the general in charge of ordnance production replied.
"Your Majesty, American Navy were severely damaged among Battle of the Azores. However, overall they still have considerable strength. Especially the major shipyards in the east of United States are stepping up their efforts to build warships. Under such circumstances, their strength will be restored soon. This will be a huge threat to Imperial Navy. We need to formulate a new plan as soon as possible to contain American Navy's restoration of strength!" General Rolf Kars said.
In this Battle of the Azores, although the Atlantic Fleet led by General Rolf Kars suffered heavy losses, their results were equally great. It can be said that the performance is very amazing.
"This is indeed a problem. Your Majesty, according to the intelligence we obtained, United States The shipyards located in East Coast have begun to work overtime to build warships. It is said that, the number of aircraft carriers built alone is as high as twenty. It can be seen that although American Navy lost this time, they are not convinced and still want to challenge us!" Field Marshal Manstein said.
"Americans of course cannot be so convinced. They have also been preparing for this war for a long time. Although their navy was severely damaged by us. However, they will not sit still and wait for death. If they do not develop their navy, then they will They can only stay at North American continent and wait for us to attack them after clearing out other enemies. Therefore, they are working hard to develop their navy in the hope of defeating us in the next decisive battle." Oscar said.
Oscar undoubtedly has a deep understanding of Americans's intentions. Oscar also believes that no matter how unconvinced Americans is, Germany has completely established an advantage after this naval battle. American Navy If you want to make a comeback again, it will not be that easy anymore. It can be said that the possibility of German Navy winning in this naval battle will be very high.
"Your Majesty, we need to continue to weaken American Navy's strength and prepare for future attacks on United States's homeland!" Field Marshal Manstein also said.
Just defeating American Navy is not Germany's goal.
As the main opponent of Germany, United States competes with Germany to be the only opponent of Hegemonic Status in the world. This makes Germany hope that in future battles, he can defeat United States in one fell swoop, destroy United States, and completely eliminate the threat United States poses to Germany. This also makes German military must land on United States's homeland in one fell swoop in the future war and completely defeat them. And American Navy has undoubtedly become the first obstacle that must be cleared for German military to land on United States.
