After some deliberation, the middle-aged general's plan was finally approved by Churchill and others. The British Navy will seek technical assistance from the Air Force to develop a ship-friendly model based on the new Hurricane fighter and fighter-bomber. Since both Air Force fighters are already in service in stock, the duration of the entire process will be significantly lower than what is normally required. For a moment, Churchill couldn't help but look at the middle-aged general named Tovey differently; Although it is not known how good he is to command, he is definitely a practical person.

In addition to strengthening the combat effectiveness of carrier-based aviation in order to contain German heavy battleships in an asymmetrical manner, the British Navy was also preparing to grit its teeth and draw some forces from the Mediterranean to strengthen the home fleet. Although the Mediterranean Fleet does not have many warships in total, and it is difficult to make a substantial change in the situation on the mainland, it is better to have these ships than not at all. At this time, the British Navy still failed to realize the core position of aircraft carriers in naval warfare; Their concentrating all their energies on the German battleships would soon bear great bitter fruit.

The sky is pale blue, the stars are sparse, and the night passes by in a hurry; Gradually, from the Eastern European Plain, the whole of Europe ushered in the first rays of dawn one after another.

Rockwell, the leading broadcaster in Berlin's Central News Agency building, is trying to push his excitement to the highest point. When the staff pressed the button on time, he immediately said loudly to the microphone in front of him in a majestic tone like the nine curves of the Yellow River: "German citizens! In today's morning news, I have a particularly important announcement for you. At 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the Navy's air fleet successfully attacked Scapa Bay, the base of the British home fleet, and in the following three hours of fighting, it sank more than 30 warships, including four battleships and one battle cruiser, including the British flagship Nelson, while only two battleships were broken! It was the greatest victory in the history of the German Navy. At the same time, it is also the most shining page in the thousand-year-old history of world naval warfare, which can truly be called a perfect victory! ”

When Walker, a shipyard worker, woke up from the first long night after the outbreak of the Great War in Europe and was sitting at the table with his wife, Vera, eating coarse bread with worry, he was shocked to hear the unprecedented impassioned words of the radio anchor on the radio. After a moment, Walker got stuck in his throat with a breath, and he couldn't help but squirt the food out of his mouth. At the same time, his eyes widened at the radio with a frightened expression. As of 7 o'clock in the morning, the total time for the outbreak of the war between Britain and Germany was less than a whole day, how could the navy have already beaten the British to the ground, and still won a complete victory without sinking a single ship! You must know that the battleship and the battle cruiser are both absolute capital ships, and the high seas fleet used all its strength back then, but only sank 3 British battle cruisers!

Shocked, Walker stood up from the table and grabbed the old radio on the counter in his hand with a single lunge; It's as if this can threaten the announcer and force the other party to continue. It seems that Walker's knee-jerk agitation played a role, and the high-pitched and proud male voice on the radio never stopped; After a pause. He then recounted the detailed outcome and course of the incident.

Walker listened blankly, his mind was confused, he never expected such an exaggerated situation: the British Navy, which had dominated the four seas for more than 300 years, suddenly became a vulnerable chicken, and it was still so clean and completely defeated, not even a small piece of flesh and skin of his own fleet was torn off! I was still worried about Germany's re-involvement in the war with Britain and France, and I feared that Germany would suffer another misfortune like that of 1918, and I could not think of it for a moment. There was such shocking news of victory!

“…… Since the word 'hostility' was coined in the world, it has been as deep-rooted, unreasonable, and stubborn as Britain's 'hostility to Germany'. This is the first time. Just because of the difference in ideology and system, it is not enough to bow to its hegemonic ambitions, and it is not enough to carry out unbearable and unprecedented diplomatic suppression and economic restrictions, and even frantically inflict war and havoc on Germany to kill the most vicious bandits, none other than Britain. ”

“…… Today. Britain once again instigated the encirclement of Germany on the European continent. They tried to destroy the rise and prosperity of the Germanic peoples once again with cruel and ferocious despicable means. However, what this hatred planter forgets is that Germany today is fundamentally different from the original world war period. The great Führer restored our high honor and gave us the iron spear to fight. and unite the 80 million industrious and brave Germanic people under the glorious fiery red swastika; And all of this has caused us to burst out with a great power that is far greater than before. The voice on the radio was magnificent, and every word hit the deepest part of Walker's heart, making his chest surging with pride and blood!

“…… At this moment, every bomb and torpedo that fell in Scapa Bay was a hammer for the careerists, conspirators, and subversives of the German continent who had set off war on the European continent and were viciously hostile to Germany. This war will not be a defeat for Germany, but a complete annihilation of Britain and its lackeys in the flames. Let us march more resolutely in the footsteps of the Great Führer, long live the Navy, long live the Victory, long live the Führer! Rockwell ended his broadcast with a majestic three-shout.

Walker trembled with such excitement that he had forgotten that he was going to work at the shipyard today; He slammed out the door and banged his fist on the door of his co-worker next door, Dawn. A moment later, a familiar figure appeared in front of Walker. When Walker saw Daun's same ecstatic expression, he couldn't help laughing and hugging his friend violently; In the flying tears, the extremely moved Walker kept muttering: "This is our battleship, this is our navy, this is our success!" ”

Seeing her husband and another man hugging each other in celebration, Vera pursed her lips slightly. She was about to persuade them to separate during the working hours, when she suddenly heard a tidal wave of cheers coming from the street. Vera walked to the window and looked out, and was shocked to find that everyone on the street below had fallen into a state of ecstasy. People shouted and laughed and hugged and reveled with strangers; The noise of noise converges into a literal rolling wave that envelops the entire city of Hamburg!

In just a few minutes, the mentality of the German people has changed dramatically because of the victory broadcast on the radio. They suddenly found that the situation of the war was not as pessimistic as they had imagined: even against the British Royal Navy, the strongest of the Allied armies, they could still achieve a hearty victory! Considering that this time the Russians would not intervene in the war, Germany's hopes of victory were a little greater. In such a situation, why should I oppose and resist this big war in my heart? Perhaps under the wise leadership of the Führer, Germany could really reach a peak that had never been reached!

With the Thames babbling, Big Ben Tower, and the night rain, London, the capital of England, is enjoying a bright morning. However, in the BBC radio building in the heart of the city, the atmosphere is as solemn as freezing winter. Although the British top brass tried to conceal the tragedy that had taken place in Scapa Bay yesterday, they understood that it was simply impossible: the deaths of more than 7,000 officers and men alone could not be concealed. If the government insists on concealing it, it will not take two days for the people to erupt in a devastating rage of suspicion and anger!

Under these circumstances, the only thing the British government can do is to follow the trend and guide public opinion on this unprecedented defeat, so that the people can turn their grief into strength, so as to stand more firmly on the war. In order to turn the defeat into a strong agent to awaken the British people, the British royal literati racked their brains to use the Spring and Autumn period penmanship to secretly change concepts and splash and roll like they did at the end of the Battle of Jutland in 1916.

"The Royal Navy declares with great sorrow that on the afternoon of 3 September 1939, Scarpa Bay was the subject of a sudden and deliberate attack by the Luftwaffe and Air Force. Thirty-eight warships, including the USS Nelson, USS Warwey, USS Counterattack, USS Revenge, and USS Ramiris, were sunk, and more than 7,400 officers and men showed their precious lives. In fact, in the early morning of 3 September, the German government was appealing to the British ambassador in Berlin, saying that Germany had no intention of war against Britain. ”

"History will bear witness that, because Scapa Bay is so far from the German mainland, it is clear that the attack was carefully planned over many days, if not weeks. Before the outbreak of war, the German government deliberately deceived Britain with false statements and an expressed desire to continue to maintain peace. ”

Through this surprise attack, Nazi Germany's criminal and insane war ambitions have been thoroughly exposed before the eyes of every peace-loving person in the world. They were savage beings who despised God even more than Kaiser Prussia. Britain will always remember this raid on us. No matter how long it will take to defeat this premeditated invasion, the people of Britain must win an absolute victory with their righteous forces. ”

"Yesterday, when the Luftwaffe launched a surprise attack, the brave and fearless Royal Air Force launched a resolute counterattack against the enemy. The only battleship of the German Navy, the Bismarck, was seriously damaged and could not return to the surface for a year. This is the beginning of our best efforts to defend ourselves. The German naval forces were still besieged in the North Sea, German merchant ships could not break through our blockade, and the strategic advantage remained firmly in the hands of Britain. We swear that the severable sneak attackers will be punished with the severity. (To be continued.) )
