On November 21st, the weather in North Atlantic had become very cold. Especially on the sea, it is Cold Wind bone-chilling. The cold wind seems to be able to freeze people to death at any time.
A huge fleet is sailing on North Atlantic. This fleet not only includes eight huge aircraft carriers, but also many amphibious assault ships with direct access to the deck.
In order to ensure the smooth landing of Newfoundland this time, German Marine Corps also took the lead. General Marine Corps Commander Ernst von Busch personally directed this landing. Three Marine Divisions were invested in advance, and two more Marine Divisions would enter the battlefield next. The number of amphibious assault ships invested alone has reached 12. There are also dozens of dock landing ships and tank landing ships. Make sure to send as many troops as possible to Newfoundland at once.
Although, in terms of military strength, the three Marine Division on German military are not much more than the three British Infantry Division on Newfoundland. But they are confident that they can easily defeat the three British troops Infantry Division on Newfoundland. After all, the soldiers who make up German Marine Corps are elites to begin with. In addition, it is well-equipped, not only equipped with Amphibious Tank, but also equipped with helicopter support. There are also fire support from the battleship's main gun on the sea and Carrier-based aircraft. This makes them armed to the teeth. Under such circumstances, it would not be a big problem to defeat the British troops stationed at Newfoundland and completely capture Newfoundland.
On Home Fleet's flagship aircraft carrier 'Poseidon', Marshal Lütjens was talking to Admiral Busch.
Although, Home Fleet suffered considerable losses in the last naval battle. The entire Capital Ships formation is in name only. The three Capital Ships that suffered heavy damage are still being repaired on the slipway. Carrier-based Aircraft Unit also lost most of it. However, Marshal Lütjens is in a very good mood. After all, they won that naval battle and won. Although the losses were a bit greater, the results they gained were greater. Marshal Lütjens, also received an award. The lost Carrier-based aircraft were also replenished immediately. Even though there is no Capital Ships formation, the current Home Fleet is still very strong and should not be underestimated.
"General Busch, are you ready?" Marshal Lütjens asked.
Now the fleet is not far from Newfoundland, and it will reach the scheduled sea area in two days.
"Your Excellency, we are ready. As long as we arrive at Newfoundland, we can launch an attack." General Ernst von Busch has firm confidence in his troops. He firmly believed that they could easily land on Newfoundland, defeat the British army on the island in one fell swoop, and successfully capture the entire Newfoundland.
Marshal Lütjens nodded. "That's good. Your Majesty attaches great importance to this landing. In fact, whether we can successfully win Newfoundland is related to the next landing of North America. Everyone hopes to win Newfoundland in the shortest time and at the smallest cost."
General Ernst von Busch nodded. It is precisely because of this that he is under tremendous pressure. However, even so, General Ernst von Busch is confident that he can complete this mission.
"Your Excellency, please rest assured. I have great confidence in our Marine Corps. They will easily defeat the Britain people this time." General Ernst von Busch's words already contained a hint of assurance.
"General Busch, of course I believe you. This time, Home Fleet will provide you with all-round support. Before landing, we will dispatch Carrier-based aircraft and heavy cruisers to attack Britain on the island * military target is to clear the way for your landing. Moreover, after landing, Marine Corps can call Carrier-based aircraft to provide you with air support at any time." Marshal Lütjens continued.
"Yes, thank you Your Excellency. With the support of Home Fleet, it will be easier for us to defeat the Britain people." General Ernst von Busch said with a smile.
Although, Marine Corps is very powerful, even without the support of Home Fleet, General Ernst von Busch believed that they could capture Newfoundland. But that would take a lot of time. At the same time, casualties will also increase. More importantly, it will create opportunities for the enemy to reinforce Newfoundland.
You don't need to think about it to know that once the Britain people learn that German military is attacking Newfoundland, they will definitely send reinforcements to Newfoundland quickly. This also requires German military to win Newfoundland in the shortest time.
Even more, it is necessary to rely on Home Fleet to dispatch ships and Carrier-based aircraft to blockade Gulf of Saint Lawrence and prevent the British army from reinforcing Newfoundland. Therefore, Home Fleet's support is indispensable.
"General Busch, is there anything else that Home Fleet needs to do for this landing? You are the main force for this landing. If you need any support, just ask!" Marshal Lütjens said.
He knew that after the last naval battle, the Navy's mission on Atlantic Ocean would change. They are no longer the protagonists, but become supporting characters.
Of course, all this is for Germany to win this war. Whether it is the protagonist or the supporting role, they are all very important.
"Your Excellency, I hope that after our attack begins, Home Fleet can strengthen the blockade of Gulf of Saint Lawrence." Admiral Ernst von Busch said.
Marshal Lütjens nodded. Although, blocking Gulf of Saint Lawrence may involve certain risks for Home Fleet. But they have to do it.
Gulf of Saint Lawrence is relatively narrow. Once the ship of Home Fleet enters it, it will inevitably be attacked by British Royal Navy. Although the main force of Royal Navy was wiped out, they still had some cruisers and destroyers, and even submarines and Torpedo boats.
"During the day, we will send out Carrier-based aircraft to blockade Gulf of Saint Lawrence. At night, we will send cruisers and destroyers into Gulf of Saint Lawrence. Even submarines will enter it. It is impossible for Britain people to use Gulf of Saint Lawrence to support Newfoundland!" Marshal Lütjens said.
"Your Excellency, I'll be relieved in this case." Admiral Ernst von Busch said with a smile on his face.
After receiving Marshal Lütjens's guarantee, his heart finally returned to his stomach, and he became more confident about the next landing operation.
