Berlin, Germany, the capital of the German Empire, is also the most prosperous city in the world.
Originally, this was a famous city in Europe and the world. With Germany's victory in the last world war and becoming the world's hegemon, Berlin's status in the world was established.
After more than 20 years of development after the war, Berlin has become the most prosperous city in the world.
Although, this war has broken out for more than half a year. But the prosperity of Berlin does not seem to be affected. Of course, in order to further enhance military strength, a large number of young people have been drafted into the army. At the same time, Germany has also begun to enter the wartime system, and a large number of factories, especially those related to the military industry, have begun to work in three shifts. But as the frontline continues to win, most Germans are optimistic that there will be no problem for the German Empire to win this war.
After Germany won the last world war, Germany became the world's hegemon and gained a large number of colonies, making Germany's economy prosperous for more than 20 years. Even in the economic crisis, it has not been affected much.
If Germany can win again in this world war, then no one will be able to shake Germany's dominance. Germany would continue to prosper for decades, if not centuries.
Although Germany has many enemies in this war, Russia and the island countries have declared war on Germany one after another. Another powerful country on the other side of the ocean will definitely be Germany's enemy. But the German people still believe that they will win this war. Because Germany is already very strong, and no country can challenge or threaten Germany.
Of course, where there is war, there will be casualties. While the German army was victorious on the frontline battlefield, it was also paying losses. The brave soldiers on the front line are also making sacrifices when destroying the enemy. It is precisely because of this that there are also some anti-war voices in Germany. It's just that these voices are not loud, and have long been submerged in mainstream public opinion.
Especially Qin Tian, the emperor of the German Empire, has the supreme status and power in the country, and it can even be said that he has been deified. Most of the people are willing to believe that Qin Tian can lead the German Empire to victory in the war. Therefore, they all support Germany in continuing the war. And eager for Germany to win the war again.
When the German Navy and the U.S. Navy launched a fierce battle in the Atlantic Ocean, ordinary people did not know that the two countries were already at war. Although, when the war broke out, the two countries did not declare war on each other. But in fact, they are already at war at this moment. The Americans adopted the method of undeclared war, trying to defeat the German navy in one fell swoop. The German Navy also hopes to seize this opportunity to defeat the US Navy in one fell swoop, establish the German Navy's advantage in the Atlantic Ocean, and ensure their safety.
Emperor Qin Tian, as well as senior officials of the German government and military, knew that a war had broken out between the two sides. It's just that when the front line is in radio silence, they don't know the battle situation. So, everyone is waiting for the outcome of this war.
At noon on June 12, Kaiser Qin Tian and his military and political ministers all gathered at the Supreme Command, waiting for the result of the naval battle. Although it was already noon, everyone just ate something and started to wait.
"Your Majesty, count the time, this naval battle is almost over. I believe we will get news from the front line soon." Marshal Manstein said.
Although Marshal Manstein is the Minister of War, he is also very concerned about this naval battle. The result of this naval battle is related to the next deployment of the army. If Germany wins the naval battle, then the German army can follow the previous plan, give priority to concentrating its forces on attacking Russia, and defeat Russia first. Then focus on dealing with the United States. But if the German navy loses in the naval battle, the German army may have to deploy more troops to the western coast of Europe to guard against possible American attacks on Europe.
Similarly, Marshal Albert Kesselring, Minister of the German Air Force, also paid close attention to this naval battle for the same reason. The main force of the Luftwaffe is now on the Russian battlefield. If the navy wins, the Luftwaffe leaves the defense of the west alone. However, if the German Navy loses, the German Air Force may have to deploy its main force in western Europe. Prevent the U.S. Navy from dispatching carrier-based aircraft to attack western Europe. You know, the whole of Europe is now tied to a chariot by Germany. Because the German army and the coalition forces continue to win on the battlefield, everyone also believes that Germany will definitely win this war. Therefore, countries are also very supportive of Germany. However, if the Americans defeat the German navy, gain command of the sea in the Atlantic Ocean, and even drop bombs to Europe, then the countries may have other ideas, at least they will not support Germany as before . At that time, Germany's power will be weakened by this. If Germany wants to win this war, I am afraid it will have to pay a higher price.
As for the German Navy Minister Marshal Raeder, it goes without saying. This is related to the life and death of the German Navy. Although, the German navy is now very powerful. The combination of the Home Fleet, the Atlantic Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet is enough to be called the most powerful naval force in the world. But the strength of the U.S. Navy is also not weak. Therefore, although the German Navy has a good chance of winning. However, before the final result comes out, no one dares to assert that the German Navy will definitely win this naval battle. After all, there are too many uncertain factors in naval battles. If you are not careful, it may cause disaster to the navy.
Qin Tian nodded. He looked at everyone's expressions and knew that everyone was very concerned about this naval battle. So he said: "Everyone, put your hearts back into your stomach. The Imperial Navy will definitely win!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, we will definitely be able to defeat the Americans." Marshal Raeder also said.
Other senior military and political officials of the German Empire also echoed. However, it is difficult to say whether he really thinks so.
"Report, the local fleet has sent a good news, we have defeated the Americans!" A general suddenly broke in and reported loudly.
