"Our Capital Ships formation has been completely lost. Once Americans and British attacks us with Capital Ships, we will have no way to fight back before dawn! In fact, our aircraft carrier will be easily sunk by the enemy's Capital Ships." Marshal Lütjens said with a serious face.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander. In this case, we have to be more cautious." Karl Lieutenant General Wetzel said.
Lieutenant General Hans seemed a little unwilling. "Your Excellency Commander, if we miss this opportunity, Americans and British will probably escape our strike radius after dawn. By then, it will be very difficult for us to launch another attack on the enemy."
Marshal Lütjens nodded. "Indeed, this is a pity. However, at this point in the battle, we have already won. Next, we must be more cautious. Otherwise, if we suffer heavy losses again, we will have no advantage at all."
Marshal Lütjens obviously wanted to accept it. This naval battle was undoubtedly very risky. Their Capital Ships formation has been completely lost. Of the seven Capital Shipss, four were sunk and the other three were severely damaged. As for aircraft carriers, although the eight aircraft carriers were not damaged, Carrier-based aircraft also lost nearly half. It can be seen how tragic this naval battle was. Fortunately, in this naval battle, they sank as many as 17 aircraft carriers American Navy and British Navy, which can be regarded as almost consuming the American and British fleets aircraft carriers. This also makes German Home Fleet actually take advantage of this naval battle. Even if this naval battle ends like this, German Navy can be regarded as a great victory. In fact, the foundation has been laid for the next victory.
"No matter what, now we need to adopt a more robust plan. Order the fleet to turn north. After three hours, turn west again. And send more cruisers and destroyers to conduct reconnaissance to ensure that we have enough time to escape if we encounter the enemy's Capital Ships formation." Marshal Lütjens ordered.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." Lieutenant General Karl Witzel said.
Although, whether American and British fleets will send the Capital Ships formation to attack them is just a guess. However, everyone at Home Fleet took this seriously. They all hope to ensure that Home Fleet's Aircraft Carrier Formation will not suffer too much losses in this battle. In that case, it would be considered a final victory.
"Don't worry, Americans and British can't escape this time. Although, we may not be able to attack them again. However, Mediterranean Fleet has already Kitakami. They will definitely not let go of this rare opportunity. Even As for Atlantic Fleet, it will not be easy for Americans and British to escape back home. It is very likely that all of their remaining warships will be eliminated by us," Marshal Lütjens continued.
German Navy's fleet on Atlantic Ocean is not only as powerful as Home Fleet, Mediterranean Fleet and Atlantic Fleet. Especially Mediterranean Fleet, it has already taken the first step to Kitakami from the sea area near Bermuda Islands.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." Lieutenant General Hans nodded. He also knew that at this time, preserving himself was the most important thing. After all, this war is far from over. Although German Navy has gained an advantage in the war, American Navy and British Navy are like centipede insects that are dead but not dead. It will take more time to completely eliminate them. In addition, when German military reaches large-scale landing in North America, a powerful navy will also be needed to escort it. Even in the far east, German Empire still has a powerful enemy to face. After defeating United States and Britain, German Navy will definitely make a big move eastward.
"Where is our Capital Ships formation? Have they returned?" Marshal Lütjens asked.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander. The Capital Ships formation suffered heavy losses this time, and the remaining warships have returned." Karl Lieutenant General Wetzel said.
"The reason why we were able to defeat Americans and British this time, the Capital Ships formation made huge sacrifices. In fact, they are indispensable." Marshal Lütjens continued.
Karl? Lieutenant General Wetzel and Lieutenant General Hans both nodded, and they could not deny this. It can be said that if the Capital Ships formation had not attracted the Carrier-based aircraft group of American and British fleets, then Home Fleet would have been completely defeated this time. Not to mention that they could use a sharp counterattack to solve American and British fleets more than a dozen aircraft carriers.
"Your Excellency Commander, the contribution of the Capital Ships formation this time is indelible." Lieutenant General Karl? Witzel said.
"It is precisely because of the sacrifices of the Empire soldiers that we can win this war! Send a seaplane, fly three hundred kilometers, and send Telegram to Mediterranean Fleet. The next step is up to them." Marshal Lütjens ordered.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander."
Soon, a seaplane took off from a heavy cruiser and disappeared into the night sky. The seaplane flew south for more than three hundred kilometers before starting to transmit Telegram. In this case, even if American and British fleets monitors the radio signal, it will not find the location of German Home Fleet and Aircraft Carrier Formation.
Atlantic Ocean In the central sea area, a fleet is sailing under the night sky. This fleet is surprisingly Mediterranean Fleet that left the waters near Bermuda Islands.
It's already deep, Mediterranean Fleet Commander Hull Admiral Mann Boehm has also rested.
However, after receiving Telegram, the general on duty did not dare to neglect and immediately woke up General Hull Mann Boehm.
"General, what a great victory! Home Fleet achieved a huge victory in the battle against American and British fleets. They sank a total of 17 ships of American and British fleets. Aircraft carrier. Almost all American and British fleets's Aircraft Carrier Formation were killed." Mediterranean Fleet Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Cramer looked excited.
Hull Admiral Mann Böhm quickly finished reading Telegram, with a smile on his face.
"Home Fleet did a very good job this time. Under such a predicament, he was able to turn defeat into victory. It is really a good deal to exchange the loss of Capital Ships formation for American and British fleets's Aircraft Carrier Formation. This We will win the first battle. However, the rest is up to us. This is our opportunity. If we can seize this opportunity and inflict heavy damage on Americans and British, we will be able to achieve more achievements!" Hull General Boehm said excitedly.
