Germany, Berlin, Royal Palace.
After the Emperor Qin Tian of the Empire finished handling official duties, he was playing with flowers and plants in the yard. As I get older, my health is not as good. Many government affairs have been handed over to Cabinet and the prince. Oscar only needs to take final care.
Of course, Oscar is still very concerned about this war. This is related to whether German Empire and Hegemonic Status can remain stable. It can be said that as long as this war is won again, Germany will be able to continue to dominate the world for the next half century or even longer.
This is also the biggest goal of Oscar. He hopes that he can achieve this goal, and it is not in vain to be reborn.
"Your Majesty, Minister of War, First Sea Lord and Air Force Minister are here." The secretary said to Oscar.
"Well, let them wait for me in the office!" Oscar put down the kettle in his hand, washed his hands, and then returned to the office.
When Oscar walked into the office, it was obvious that the smiles that could not be concealed were seen on the faces of these three Empire* military ministers. Especially First Sea Lord Marshal Raeder seemed very excited.
"Your Majesty, good afternoon!" The three military officials saluted one after another.
"Sit down, everyone." Oscar seemed very casual. Oscar has never cared much about etiquette when it comes to his close advisors.
"Your Majesty, Battle of the Atlantic already have results!" Marshal Raeder said.
"Oh? I think it was this aspect that made the three of you come to see me together. Judging from your expressions, it's good news, right?" Oscar asked with a smile.
"Yes, Your Majesty. We won again. Home Fleet and Mediterranean Fleet teamed up to eliminate the main force of American Navy and British Navy. In In this battle, American Navy's nine large fleet aircraft carriers, four light aircraft carriers, and British Navy's eight medium-sized aircraft carriers were all sunk by us. As for Capital Ships, we sunk. American Navy three ships 'Montana-class' Battleship, sunk British Navy four ships 'Lion-class' Battleship and two ships 'Nelson-class' Battleship. Countless cruisers and destroyers have been sunk and severely damaged by us. It can be said that from now on, the entire sea control of Atlantic Ocean is in our hands." Marshal Raeder said with excitement.
All along, German Navy has regarded American Navy as its primary enemy. Although Battle of the Azores's previous victory defeated American Navy, it caused them heavy losses. But there is still a long way to go before Atlantic Ocean can completely control the sea. But now, after this naval battle is over, German Navy has completely won.
"The result is so great?" Oscar also couldn't believe it. Although he has great confidence in Imperial Navy and thinks that Imperial Navy will definitely win. However, such fruitful results were beyond his expectation. After all, after this battle, American Navy is left with only three 'Iowa-class' Battleship, and British Navy is left with only four 'Hood-class' Battlecruiser. Although the performance of both battleships is pretty good. But it is undoubtedly not enough to fight against German Navy, who has strong soldiers and horses. Even if United States and Britain continue to build warships like crazy, they will no longer be able to pose a threat to German Navy. German Navy will maintain its advantage until the end of this war.
"Yes, Your Majesty. The performance of the fleet commanded by the local Fleet Commander Marshal Lütjens in this naval battle can be described as stunning." Marshal Raeder continued.
Later, he reported Home Fleet's performance in this naval battle to Oscar in detail.
Oscar couldn't help but feel very satisfied after listening to it.
"Home Fleet did very well this time. Even when he was at a disadvantage, he was able to think of a way to turn defeat into victory. Marshal Lütjens's commanding ability is undoubtedly worthy of recognition!" Oscar said.
Although, Home Fleet's Capital Ships formation can almost be considered disabled. Such a loss is not trivial. However, compared to the results they achieved, such losses were relatively nothing. This naval battle not only completely defeated American Navy and British Navy, but also further increased the strength of both sides. It can be said that even if Americans and British tries his best, he will no longer be able to threaten German Empire on Atlantic Ocean.
"Your Majesty, the navy has now completely mastered Atlantic Ocean. Moreover, we have also captured Bermuda Islands. This gives us a bridgehead in the west of Atlantic Ocean. The next landing operation against North America can also be put on the agenda." Field Marshal Manstein said.
This victory of the Navy completely established Germany's advantage over Atlantic Ocean, and at the same time cleared the obstacles for Germany landing in North America. It can be said that Americans and British is now unable to intercept German military on Atlantic Ocean. The only thing they can rely on is home defense through the army and air force. But with German military having such a huge advantage, it's hard to say whether they can withstand it.
Oscar nodded. "It's time to log in to North America. Are all preparations completed?"
"Your Majesty, our preparations have been continuing. After we defeated Buru, except for sending a small number of troops to reinforce South Seas, the rest of the troops were resting. Now, we are at Atlantic Ocean has assembled enough troops on the east coast. The various ships and war supplies needed for the landing are almost ready. According to the plan, we can launch the landing operation by the end of November at the latest." Field Marshal Manstein said.
"It's already winter in November. It will probably snow in the entire northern part of North America. Will this affect our landing?" Although German military is now the most powerful force on the planet. But there will still be many unexpected factors that cause them to fail. The weather is undoubtedly the most important factor. Oscar doesn't want to make the same mistake as Napoleon and Führer.
"Your Majesty, although the weather may be a problem. But the existence of the North Atlantic warm current prevents the sea area in the northeast of United States from freezing. If we are well prepared, we can succeed. Moreover, bad weather will not only affect us It will also have an impact on Britain and Americans. If we can gain a foothold in the winter, we can take this opportunity to deploy more troops to prepare for a counterattack in the coming spring." Field Marshal Manstein explained.
Oscar nodded. "Okay, let's start preparing to implement landing in North America's plan!"
