The German Navy's home fleet, Atlantic Fleet, and Mediterranean Fleet entered a state of first-level combat readiness after the order from the headquarters was issued. All the personnel who went on vacation returned to the base. The battleships have also completed maintenance and can participate in high-intensity duels in the best condition.
Although it has only been three months since the end of the Azores naval battle, the officers and soldiers of the German Navy seem to be still immersed in the excitement and joy of winning. They firmly believe that in this naval battle, the German navy will also be able to win the final victory.
However, having confidence is naturally a good thing. But if you are blindly optimistic, the final result may be somewhat unsatisfactory.
Even the senior generals of the three major fleets of the German Navy are very cautious about this operation. Although the German navy already has an advantage in the Atlantic Ocean. However, the US Navy and the British Navy are not weak. If the German Navy makes a mistake in a naval battle, it is also very likely that the U.S. Navy and the British Navy will seize the opportunity and turn the tables in one fell swoop.
In order to avoid capsizing in the gutter, the generals of the German navy were more cautious about this naval battle. Of course, this does not mean that they will miss the opportunity to fight. As the most outstanding generals of the German Navy, with the assistance of countless excellent staff members, once the fighter plane comes, these generals of the German Navy will definitely be able to accurately and keenly grasp the fighter plane.
Plus the German Navy has the most powerful warships, the most powerful carrier-based aircraft, the best sailors and carrier-based aircraft pilots in the world. This gave the German Navy a great advantage in naval battles. It is not so easy for other countries to defeat the German navy.
On the evening of October 9, the German Navy's Home Fleet, Atlantic Fleet, and Mediterranean Fleet left their home ports one after another and sailed into the vast Atlantic Ocean.
Although after the end of the Azores naval battle, both the United States and Britain stepped up intelligence collection on Germany. In particular, the movement of the German Navy is the focus of attention of the United States and the United Kingdom. However, with the efforts of the German security agencies, the intelligence networks of the United States and the United Kingdom in Germany have been severely hit. Many spies were caught. This also prevented the United States and the United Kingdom from collecting relevant information about the German Navy in a timely manner. It wasn't until dawn the next day that American and British intelligence personnel discovered that the warships parked in the military ports had disappeared.
Suddenly, these intelligence officers were terrified. They worry that the German navy is preparing to launch a large-scale war against the United States again. Therefore, many intelligence personnel even took the risk of exposing themselves to send reports to the United States. In the end, a large number of American and British intelligence personnel were arrested again. Many intelligence personnel who had been lurking for many years were even arrested this time.
However, whether it is the United States or the United Kingdom, they no longer care about the loss of intelligence agencies at all. In other words, they no longer have time to deal with it.
The three major fleets of the German Navy have once again left their home port, which undoubtedly poses a great threat to the United States and the United Kingdom. Once the German navy launches an attack on an important city or an important military base on the east coast of North America, it will undoubtedly pose a great threat to them.
"Order all warships to enter a state of emergency combat readiness and be ready to leave the port at any time!" Admiral Harold Stark, the chief of naval operations of the United States, issued the order immediately.
All the officers and soldiers of the U.S. Navy who are on vacation must rush back to the fleet as soon as possible after receiving the order. At the same time, all warships of the U.S. Navy must be prepared. Once the order is issued, they will be able to leave the military port as soon as possible.
Although, the various military ports of the US Navy have deployed complete air defense weapons. There are not only large-scale air search radars, but also dense air defense positions. There is also an airport around the military port, where shore-based aircraft of the Navy and aircraft of the Army Air Force are parked.
However, it is undoubtedly very dangerous to park a military ship in a military port when a crisis strikes. Once the German Navy assembles a large number of carrier-based aircraft to launch an assault, it will be very likely to be able to attack the warships of the US Navy in the naval port. At that time, the loss will be great.
U.S. Army Chief of Staff General Marshall also issued an order for the Army Air Force to enter a state of combat readiness. The air search radars on the entire east coast have been turned on, and they are always paying attention to the airspace to the east. Each fighter wing is also ready. Once they find the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft group, they will immediately take off to meet the enemy.
Especially those wings equipped with P-47 fighter jets and P-51 fighter jets have become the main force. As for those P-40 fighter jets, although they are completely **** in front of Germany's advanced fighter jets. But against bombers and torpedo planes, there is still no problem. It can be said that the U.S. Army Air Force has built a powerful air defense network on the east coast of the United States, which is sufficient to deal with all challenges.
Britain, like the United States, has also entered emergency combat readiness. The Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force have entered the highest state of combat readiness. A large number of planes entered the airport in eastern Canada, and the navy's fleet was also ready to leave the port at any time.
"Gentlemen, are you sure that the German navy is coming towards us this time?" President Roosevelt asked with a serious expression.
The current President Roosevelt looks even older. Although his mental state is still very good, there is an unconcealable tiredness on his face. The disastrous defeat of the U.S. Navy in the naval battle of the Azores made the U.S. defeat of Germany become empty talk. This has even affected the national policy of the United States. Although President Roosevelt had great strength during the war. But it was also under a lot of pressure. Once the United States is defeated, then he may become a sinner of the United States and be nailed to the pillar of shame.
"Your Excellency, the Germans' secrecy work is very good. And our intelligence network in Germany has suffered a devastating blow. Therefore, it is difficult for us to find out the real intentions of the Germans. However, according to our analysis, Germany The possibility of people doing something against us is very high!" Admiral Marshall replied.
"Yes, Your Excellency. The Germans' Home Fleet, Atlantic Fleet, and Mediterranean Fleet have all been dispatched. Such a large-scale operation must hide a huge German conspiracy." Admiral Harold Stark also Said aside.
It can be said that the entire U.S. Navy and Army, as well as the British Navy, Army and Air Forces, have been jittery and panicked by the actions of the German Navy.
