"Prime Minister, we and Americans have reached an agreement. Starting from tomorrow, Atlantic Fleet will accept the command of Americans until the end of this battle." Dudley Sir Dudley Pound reported to Prime Minister Churchill.
Prime Minister Churchill nodded, even though he handed over the command of his own fleet to Americans, this made Prime Minister Churchill feel a little uncomfortable. However, in order to ensure your own safety, this is all you can do now. Who said that Britain alone could not compete with Germany people? Otherwise, they would not compromise like this.
"Who will be in charge of this battle with Germany people? Or General Nimitz?" Prime Minister Churchill asked.
Dudley Sir Dudley Pound shook his head. "Commander on United States's side is General Ernest King."
Prime Minister Churchill couldn't help but frowned after hearing this. Obviously, in his opinion, Admiral Nimitz is more qualified to command the fleets of the two countries. Although, Admiral Nimitz failed among Battle of the Azores. However, this also allowed Admiral Nimitz to further understand the situation of German fleet. In this case, their chances of winning in this naval battle will undoubtedly be greater.
"It seems that the factional struggle within American Navy is also very fierce! After Admiral Nimitz failed in Battle of the Azores, it has been difficult to get the opportunity to command the fleet." Prime Minister Churchill said.
Dudley Sir Dudley Pound nodded. "Yes, may God protect us. I hope our fleet can defeat the Germany people in this naval battle!"
Prime Minister Churchill also prayed to God countless times. However, he knows that if he wants to keep Britain, just praying to God is obviously unrealistic. In the end, they still have to rely on their own strength!
"Let the army speed up and send more troops to board Newfoundland. If the Germany people really want to seize Newfoundland, we will face a tough battle there." Prime Minister Churchill said.
"Yes, Prime Minister. Marine Corps will also send two more brigades to Newfoundland. By then, we will have hundreds of thousands of troops in Newfoundland. It will be no problem to resist the attack of Germany people." Dudley Sir Dudley Pound said.
"I hope so!" Prime Minister Churchill was obviously not so optimistic.
When American Navy and British Navy reached an agreement and prepared to fight German Navy with all their strength. German Navy's plan is being implemented in an orderly manner.
German Home Fleet, continues to travel from the eastern sea area of Greenland to the sea area of Newfoundland Islands. However, after nightfall on October 15th, they will return to the southeastern waters of Greenland and increase their distance from American and British fleets. After all, it would undoubtedly be very difficult for Home Fleet to fight against the united American and British fleets based on its strength alone. Their mission is more to attract American and British fleets's attention and buy time for Atlantic Fleet and Mediterranean Fleet to capture Bermuda Islands. As for whether there is a chance to cheat Americans and British in the future, it depends on the further development of the situation.
The fleet composed of German Atlantic Fleet and Mediterranean Fleet continues to sail towards Bermuda Islands. The two fleets combined are undoubtedly very powerful. The number of aircraft carriers alone has reached 13. Moreover, the number of 'Sovereign-class' aircraft carriers has reached five, plus four 'Constellation-class' aircraft carriers and four 'Deutschland-class' aircraft carriers. They already have enough strength to challenge American Navy and British Navy.
As for Capital Ships, the two fleets combined have a total of 15 ships. Among Battle of the Azores, many Capital Ships were injured. But within the next three months, these injured Capital Ships were quickly repaired. Even though it is an old battleship, it still has strong combat power. Especially when performing ground strike missions, those 380mm Main Gun are extremely powerful.
On October 15, after the sun sank below the sea level, German Atlantic Fleet and Mediterranean Fleet were less than 400 kilometers away from Bermuda Islands. But the fleet continued to move forward. Even though United States set up a naval base on Bermuda Islands. But their Sea-search radar can only detect thirty or forty kilometers. Although the air search Radar can detect Radar three hundred kilometers away, it is night now, and German Navy's aircraft carrier will not take off Carrier-based aircraft. As long as American Navy's submarines and ships are not discovered, German fleet's traces will not be exposed.
"Your Excellency Commander, it is expected that we will arrive in the waters near Bermuda Islands around five o'clock tomorrow morning." Lieutenant General George Fredberg said.
Admiral Rolf Kars nodded. "Aircraft Carrier Formation just needs to stay in the sea area about a hundred kilometers southeast of Bermuda Islands. The Capital Ships formation will directly attack the important facilities on the archipelago to ensure that all obstacles have been cleared when Marine Corps lands."
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." Lieutenant General George Fredberg replied.
"In addition, strengthen anti-submarine. Before we launch an attack on Bermuda Islands, our whereabouts must not be exposed. Otherwise, Americans will be prepared." Admiral Rolf Kars emphasized.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." George? Lieutenant General Fredberg undoubtedly knew this.
German fleet keeps moving towards the goal. One after another, anti-submarine dreadnoughts and destroyers cruised outside the fleet to ensure that no Americans submarines would get in. In this case, they can approach Bermuda Islands quietly.
At 3:30 in the morning on October 16, German Atlantic Fleet and Mediterranean Fleet had arrived at the sea area one hundred kilometers away from Bermuda Islands.
At this time, the fleet separated. Aircraft Carrier Formation stayed in the sea southeast of Bermuda Islands. The Capital Ships formation continued to move forward. They need to sail to the offshore Bermuda Islands, and then directly use Naval Gun to attack the military facilities on the island.
Although American Navy also deployed shore-based aircraft on Bermuda Islands. However, it is night now, and those shore-based aircraft of American Navy cannot take off at all, let alone pose a threat to the Capital Ships formation of German Navy.
Of course, after the formation approaches Bermuda Islands, it will still be discovered by the US military on the island. After all, Sea-search radar on the island is not a vegetarian either. However, German fleet is already ready to take action, so naturally he is no longer afraid of exposing his whereabouts.
