"I called you here today to tell you that the sickle-wielding operation has been completed." arcado put the document on the conference table and sat down, then waved his hands to Lei Deer and Catherine to sit down. "So I called you here to confirm with you the specific matters of implementing Operation Broken."
"My head of state! The army has been fully equipped to carry out Operation Broken, and has long been ready to carry out it. "Katherine immediately replied," In addition, four heavy-duty four-engine bombers have been equipped with such bombers, which can fly at very high altitude and drop bombs at extremely fast speed, and are equipped with powerful self-defense weapons. These bomber units have always kept secret weapons and have not made them executable at any time. "
"My head of state! The navy didn’t make corresponding preparations. Gunther Lutjens commanded the high seas fleet to take part in the Norwegian war in Norwegian waters, while General Deng Nici was in charge of the submarine force strangling the British transport line in the North Atlantic. There was no extra force to carry out the Broken Plan. "Lei Deer Nai crustily replied," If the Gunther Lutjens fleet is recalled, will Norwegian waters be attacked by Britain? "
Chapter 332 332 Norwegian naval battle
"The British navy horse will mess! Where is the spirit to manage Norway’s rotten stalls! " Arcado waved his hand and said that there was a hint of disdain in his blue eyes. He was still satisfied with Lei Deer’s political vision and loyalty, but Lei Deer always advocated caution to make the naval fleet make arcado feel that he was a little too timid
Moreover, it is impossible for the navy to reinforce the other two Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers in a short time, and the destroyers and cruisers are still in the dock. Even if they are fresh water, they are just escorting the aircraft carriers, as well as mine-sweeping escort and anti-submarine models, which lack independent base capabilities.
Of course, arcado also realized that the fleet relied too much on the aircraft carrier’s capability, which led the naval shipyard to build four cruisers and 12 destroyers of artillery warfare type. These warships were equipped with 23 mm caliber main guns and 15 mm caliber main guns respectively. At the same time, the British and American destroyers had the same firepower base, that is, the attack ship and the close protection aircraft carrier were interfered by the other small ships.
Germany has three Luzov-class armored ships, which were built in the naval renewal plan for the first time. Although the technology is a little old, the speed and artillery can compete with cruisers. These warships came to sneak attack the ships so that they can follow the German navy’s high-seas fleet "large destroyers" to make them follow, and the German navy’s high-seas fleet will not be driven away by several enemy cruisers at night.
The main gun of this armored ship has a diameter of 23 mm, which is enough to deal with British destroyers and cruisers, and the speed is as high as 26 knots. It is easy to install the destroyer method, which can alert Gunther Lutjens to the distance of 37 kilometers near the aircraft carrier.
None of these three warships participated in the naval battle outside the Netherlands, because at that time they were being refitted in Port William, equipped with anti-aircraft guns and installed with high-power radar. It can be said that this Norwegian sea battle was their first battle after the refitting was completed.
Aka looked at it more awkwardly. Lei Deer sighed and continued, "General Lei Deer, it will be more difficult and dangerous for the imperial navy to carry out the war in the future. If you can cope with it now, let me give you a bigger fleet when the strong enemy conducts a decisive battle at sea in the future?"
"Fuehrer! I … I’ll bring Gunther Lutjens back from Norwegian waters! Do we leave a few warships in Norway to defend against British interference? " Lei Deer just shook it for a few seconds and then showed his caution. "If the British navy landed in Norway and destroyed port equipment and interfered with iron ore production … then wouldn’t we lose more than we gain?"
"Even if the British Norwegian landed in you, me, the H regiment and the army, were there 100 planes for display?" Akado laughed. "General weichs will fuck them up. The Norwegian action of the British is to send us some prisoners of war at most. It is impossible to succeed."
"Since the Fuehrer is so determined, I will order the implementation of this plan as soon as I get back!" Lei Deer nodded and agreed with arcado.
This is also the reason why arcado insisted on making Lei Deer the supreme commander of the navy. Although Lei Deer’s combat command ability is average, he is very loyal and obedient. It can be said that if arcado insists on things, he will eventually do it. There is such a person who has never had a problem with the political team. Watching a game in the supreme command of the navy, arcado has endured the defect of his average ability.
"In addition! The secret plan of the army will also be implemented! General Catherine’s plan is not only a tactical plan, but also a strategic plan. Once this plan is successful, will it completely change the morale of the enemy and the enemy? " Arcado looked at his beloved Catherine again.
Compared with Lei Deer’s shortcomings of poor loyalty, Catherine and Dick are suspected to be Rommel and guderian in the army. These two men are both capable and loyal to arcado, which makes arcado sigh that German talents are abundant.
"My Fuehrer’s plan is in full swing, and soon you will receive a report on the success of the operation," Katherine replied at once.
Now that all the questions that need to be finalized have been confirmed, arcado will leave two people to have lunch and dinner together. arcado will meet a large group of politicians and senior officials, and he will tell Anna that he may not be able to make it back. Here, friendship shows that a man said that he might not be able to come back.
……
At the same time, at the arcado meeting, the huge German naval fleet on the high seas was slowly moving in the cold waters of Norwegian waters.
"bell!" Suddenly, the urgent alarm rang out from the aircraft carrier department of the Empire, and all the crew members ran to their battle posts. Just a few minutes ago, a reconnaissance plane returned an intelligence report more than 100 kilometers away and found three British naval warships.
Gunther Lutjens can’t be careless and immediately put the whole fleet into a state of alert. All crew members must be in place and take off immediately. The reconnaissance plane will confirm all directions of the whole fleet to avoid omitting the main fleet of the Royal Navy.
The war staff is urgently checking all kinds of intelligence information. It is reported from the British soil that the main fleet of the British navy was still in Hong Kong one day ago and there was no sign of attack. There is also a report from the submarine force that there is no route to find the British large fleet.
"general! According to the intelligence analysis, it is impossible for the British main fleet to appear in this position. Several intelligence channels also prove that the British navy has not left the soil. "A staff member frowned and said," This should be a British sub-fleet. "
"report! The general aviation reconnaissance plane once again confirmed the target scale trend in the warning area. "The military liaison officer let go and said to Gunther Lutjens," The enemy has five destroyers sailing at a high speed, which is not a large-scale fleet speed. "
"Order all aircraft carriers to take off five planes, Imperial and Zeppelin, Stuka Bismarck and Erbitz fw19 fighters to form a bomber formation to attack this destroyer fleet." Gunther Lutjens drew a circle with his own chart mapping tool and then frowned and ordered that "the remaining planes hang bombs and torpedoes to prepare for the second wave of attack."
"Report to the general that he confirmed to the destroyer radar that no suspicious target was found." The naval staff confirmed it again at this time, and the intelligence mouth from his ship said, "I have made two destroyers enter the core anti-submarine surplus ships of the fleet to maintain their positions and continue to be vigilant."
"Very good!" Gunther Lutjens saw that two planes had made up their flying formations in the middle of the day and flew in the direction of the target, so he nodded and said, "Continue to send reconnaissance planes in other directions. I want to make sure that the surrounding waters are absolutely safe!"
"yes! General! " The staff saluted and received orders.
At this time, the atmosphere of warships has become less tense. Because of the attack distance between warships and aircraft, the cannon has shelled each other, and the boxing mode has become a long and turbulent wait.
"Help me make a cup of coffee," Gunther Lutjens said to the adjutant behind him. "I’ll wait for the result in the lounge next door. If you have any news, come and let me know immediately."
"yes! General! " The adjutant nodded his head and went out.
Soon the air force flew to the target and found that this time it came to provoke the British fleet. It really looked like a bait. These five British destroyers were old, and the fire resistance of the destroyers in World War I was very weak, and the speed was not as fast as that of the German destroyers because of the age and design problems.
It is hard to imagine that German pilots climbed with rockets and small bombs after seeing these destroyers, because they suspected it was a trap and British fighters were ambushing around. As a result, they searched for a few minutes and found no British troops.
Stuka bombers tried to attack, and after a dive, an old British destroyer was blown into two pieces. The British fleet retreated in love, but the German army did not give these destroyers a chance to take turns to attack. Soon, these British destroyers were sunk or ignited.
What should have been a massive Norwegian naval battle turned into a one-sided killing of the British navy. This time, five destroyers were sunk without sinking German ships, and the British surface ships off Norway were wiped out as soon as they appeared. This seems to prove once again that the German navy is not what it used to be.
Half an hour later, the news that the British fleet was wiped out returned with two other planes rushing to reinforce and sent to investigate more than a dozen planes, but no suspicious targets were found. This war was truly completely over. Although it was a small victory against the destroyer, Gunther Lutjens still celebrated with a bottle of champagne at the unified bridge.
Just as everyone was drinking champagne, a newspaper from the General Staff of the Navy in Berlin came from a distance to make Gunther Lutjens converge and laugh. It was very simple for the South Command of the Fleet to report, and the Imperial High Command ordered the implementation of the Broken Plan.
Chapter 333 333 Bar surprise
Unlike Belgium, where the front line is losing ground, people in London are still singing and dancing, and London, one of the best central cities in Europe, is synonymous with classical avantgarde.
In a small corner of a London block, there is a very popular bar, which was set up by the descendants of Nelson, the soul of the British navy. This bar is a must-see for almost all London naval officers for leisure and entertainment.
Almost all the best naval commanders in the Royal Navy can be seen here. Some of them come from submarine forces and some world-famous battleships. If you want to know what happened to the British Navy recently, it is the best choice to come here.
There are many photos of battleships hanging on the wall of the bar, as well as portraits and photos of famous naval generals in various periods. In the center of these photos is an almost life-size vice admiral Horatio? Portrait of Lord Nelson
Many naval officers, even generals, would like to propose a toast to the soul of the Royal Navy hanging on the wall when they come to this small bar-this is also a way for the bar owner to collect money.
The commander of the Royal Admiralty’s relatively high-income group submarine has always been a frequent visitor to this bar. Even in wartime, these perennial submarine special arms are enjoying the rare long holidays of other naval officers and soldiers.
There is an old man who often drinks in this bar, because it seems that the old man is very rich. He bought half of the shares in this bar and enjoyed his old age quietly. The old man’s name is Grave, and he is a nephew of the Royal Navy destroyer fleet, and he is loved by people nearby because he often takes care of some sailors’ families and lives alone.
Now the beloved old man is smiling and listening to several naval officers at the same table bragging about each other’s experiences. These officers are old customers, and half of the boss is in charge of this table. The waitress is also working hard to bring tea and wine to this table.
It’s natural for a group of soldiers to brag about their fantasy fighters together, and several guests at this table are no exception. Although many times the implementation is confidential, this kind of confidentiality constraint, which is not a core secret, will naturally be ignored occasionally.
Besides, everyone doesn’t have some core. It’s not a leak just to brag about it. These naval officers have never rejected this way of bragging about each other’s decompression.
At this moment, an officer is boasting that his warship is like dealing with a German submarine. His colorful explanation makes everyone exclaim from time to time. "That German submarine is very cunning. We have been tracking it for more than ten days. These days, we have been sunk by it from time to time. We chased it all the way to the east and blocked it until it was quite far away!"
After he ordered the table, he continued, "You should know that we dropped depth charges everywhere to sink it, and finally confirmed its location!" Then stormed the Na Pianhai domain and finally sank it! Who would have thought that it finally sank one of our destroyers? We lost a total of more than 100,000 tons of transport ships and sank such a submarine! "
"This is the first submarine that we sank the Germans, right?" Griff smiled kindly and echoed, "They are even tougher than they were then. I’m really worried about our navy."
"To tell you the truth, we are improving some equipment. For example, I heard that Germany has equipped an advanced equipment for detecting aircraft, and our navy is also developing it. I believe we will be able to equip it soon." An officer in charge of naval technical equipment research and development said with a smile. "At all, we are worried that the British navy will win the final victory!"
"Exactly! General Nelson’s spirit cheers forever! " Greif raised his glass and pointed at Nelson’s portrait not far away and said
"You are a cunning old man! Let’s make a toast. The result is not that you make money in the bar? " Several people laughed and raised their glasses, laughed and drank a glass of wine to continue chatting.
The destroyer officer wiped his mouth with beer and continued to boast that "our transport ship has been sunk by more than 100 ships with a gross tonnage of nearly 110,000 tons just half a month after the war, but we are not vegetarians, and now we have summarized the experience of attacking submarines."
"Then I congratulate you on defeating the German submarine as soon as possible, but I heard that I have recently considered rationing tea. I really can’t figure out how to live without tea day." Griff shook his head and sighed
"Don’t worry! In a few weeks, we can sink the German submarine by dozens or hundreds! The submarine is not a surface ship opponent after all! " The destroyer officer became more and more outrageous, and he had no scruples. He remained silent and didn’t speak. The submarine officer.
This submarine officer didn’t quit and immediately frowned and said, "What do you mean submarines can’t compete with your surface ships? We’re quite a special force! Not only can the frontal battle win, but it can also win like the tactics of the German Navy to assassinate the surface ship to make the other side bend! "
"Say nice!" The destroyer officer curled his lips and said with contempt, "I haven’t seen you or heard anything decent the other day. Don’t tell me you went to the German coastline to sneak attack."
Speaking of this, Griff picked out his eyebrows and held his glass motionless. He took a sip of beer to cover up his face, but his curious look pricked up his ears and listened carefully to what several officers were saying behind him.
The submarine officer turned red and seemed to be speechless for a long time before pointing to the destroyer fleet officer and arguing, "I’m going to perform a secret operation!" This is a military secret and I can’t talk to you in detail! But I tell you that my participation in this operation is much bigger than you think! "
The technical naval officer cracked his mouth when he heard the submarine commander say so. "Don’t brag. Are you kidding?"? Although the navy’s several operations were not successful, the scale was not small. Take the failure in Scarpa Bay as an example. The navy has gathered hundreds of warships. How big can a submarine participate in the operation? "
A listen to everyone don’t believe in yourself. The submarine captain can’t hold back any longer. He put on a pair of arm sleeves and put on a pose with you guys. The beer cup in his hand hit the desktop and stretched his neck and said, "I said this to you, and whoever listened to it will keep it a secret for me! This is a great secret! "
"Shit! How confidential can you be when a submarine goes out to execute it? " Apparently, the destroyer fleet officer still didn’t believe him. He took the submarine commander’s words directly as a virtual situation.
"My action was directly ordered by the Minister of the Navy Churchill Pavilion to transport five important spies to the Dutch coastline!" The submarine commander said cautiously and quietly, "this is a very important operation!"
Griff listened to his heart and recorded several very important information. A few days ago, the submarine was transported to the Dutch coastline, and five intelligence personnel continued to listen and not express their opinions for fear of losing any important information.
