Although Vice Admiral Bei knows that there is such a thing as a cap-wearing aircraft carrier, he has not known the details, he is not fake, but he is only responsible for leading battleships to fight, and all his life is playing naval guns and torpedoes, and he is a little incomprehensible to general aircraft carriers, and he does not understand how to play the specific routines of special aircraft carriers. In fact, it doesn't have to be an oil tanker, you can be willing to spend money on battleships, and the size can be bigger!

He couldn't help but snort, but soon found the problem: "This thing is expensive, isn't it?" Just used it all at once? ”

"Of course not, that's a waste. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Gaussdao," the construction price of this ship is higher than the price of the standard Axis class aircraft carrier, how can you be willing to use it once? It's completely reusable, just imagine a submarine. ”

"Submarines? Oh...... Got it, got it...... Brilliant! Brilliant! ”

The carrier has nearly 20,000 tons of fuel in its holds, and although it is submerged in the sea, it is very close to the beachhead, which can easily and flexibly supply the front line with oil through pipelines. When the ship needs to float, as long as the sea valve is closed to ensure that the bottom of the ship is no longer flooded, and then the fuel in the reserve oil tank is pumped out, and then the seawater between the two layers of the bottom of the ship is sucked into the empty compartment, and the seawater is continuously introduced into the other empty tanks by taking advantage of the characteristics of the tanker's multiple compartments being divided but penetrated, which is equivalent to gradually emptying the seawater at the bottom of the ship.

It then uses other vessels to assist in pumping water, and if it is skilled, it can be operated simultaneously - oil discharge in tank A and pumping water in room B. As in the case of submarines, the sea water is poured into the chamber when you dive, and then the sea water is emptied by compressed air when you ascend. The huge bunkers were used as transport containers, and then as pontoons after draining the seawater.

Generally, it is necessary to wait for the high tide to carry out the floating operation, and when the cabin seawater is emptied to a certain extent, the buoyancy gradually increases, and the oil tanker sunk on the bottom of the sea slowly floats again, and then realizes a smooth exit - of course, the cabin seawater can not be fully drained, and the full drainage will cause the bottom compartment to be too light, the overhead deck is too heavy and the center of gravity is unstable, so it is easy to capsize when encountering wind and waves.

As he spoke, four freighters began to approach the artificial dock, and then the sappers quickly built a transverse steel temporary bridge, and signaled with small flags that the construction was completed and could depart.

The first car out of the will steamship cabin is the Tiger type, the 48-ton heavyweight body slowly sailed along the steel temporary bridge to the artificial wharf, and then slowly sailed to the beachhead from the artificial wharf along the other steel temporary bridge, the steel bridge with a unit carrying capacity of more than 100 tons successfully withstood the test, except for the "crunch" sound, there is no deformation or distortion traces, and the artificial wharf composed of steel plates is as stable as Mount Tai. There was thunderous applause at the scene -- when the heavy armored troops came ashore, the Americans would be completely finished!

This was followed by standard 10-wheeled trucks loaded with supplies and supplies, which were loaded with less than 10 tons and could pass continuously.

The four temporary bridges continued to operate, like a trickle of streams flowing into a torrent, forming a large and tight transfer system, and a large number of anti-aircraft fighters appeared in the air -- the landing vanguard had taken control of the Reykjavik airfield, and the sappers rushed to repair it overnight, barely restoring two runways for fighter planes to take off and land -- and the fighters who had transferred from Norway in the early morning finally had a place to stay.

"Gauss, let's go ashore!"

"You don't wait any longer? It may not be safe to let the troops clear the enemy of the enemy forces right now. Lieutenant General Pei advised Rommel, "There are too many freighters piled up on the docks now, and the Tirpitts is embarrassed to rob them." ”

"No, I'll just go ashore in a lifeboat, and the commander will be with the troops! I'm here to fight, not to see the scenery, to let the soldiers see me with them! Rommel smiled and said, "I wanted to land last night, but it was Berlin who told me that I must land at dawn today, and that it was the Führer's personal order." ”

"Oh well! I wish you all the best! ”

"Thanks to the great assistance of the Navy, the Battle of Iceland is first and foremost a credit to the Navy!" Rommel warmly hugged Vice Admiral Bey, "Especially your naval guns, let the enemy be terrified!" ”

"This is Radio Berlin, this is Radio Berlin, it's 9:17 on May 29, and it's the big news of the Icelandic campaign, and the big news of the Icelandic campaign is now...... Our troops have successfully landed in Iceland, and Marshal Rommel has led the staff team on land, so I would like to ask the reporters accompanying the army to interview Marshal Rommel and hear his thoughts at this moment......"

"Honorable Führer, all the soldiers and soldiers who fought bloodily, and the patriotic people of all Germany......" got off the landing craft, and Rommel, who was ashore on the water, could not hide his excitement, and waved his hand to the officers and soldiers within his line of sight, responding to their warm cheers, and shouted into the microphone in an excited tone, "I am now stepping on the solid ground of the Icelandic beachhead, our army has cleared the enemy's resistance, and is launching a fierce attack on the enemy forces in depth. The invincible German soldiers are coming! We will liberate Iceland, which has been entrenched by Britain and the United States for several years, as soon as possible, and the final victory will definitely be ours! Long live the Führer! ”

"Hooray!"

The cheers rang out, and the magnesium lights also lost no time in turning on, whether in front or behind, there was jubilation everywhere!

Vice Admiral Pei, who was watching from afar on the Tirpits, couldn't help but nod his head and said to the people around him: "I finally know why the Führer wanted Field Marshal Rommel to land during the day!" ”

On 29 May, the Panzer Instructor, Ceylon Brigade, and the main forces of the Indian Brigade landed in Iceland and launched a frenzied pursuit, although they faced an enemy force of nearly 80,000 men, but they had neither a reliable defense system nor sufficient counterattack force, so they had to retreat in a hurry, and at the same time have to deal with the German attack aircraft group overhead.

The anti-tank trenches on which they had high hopes and hoped to be used to block the enemy were unhindered in the face of the German Sherman bridge-building tanks, and the 502nd Heavy Armored Battalion, which had taken the lead and had been reequipped with Tiger 2 tanks, was in full swing, and Karius alone could kill no less than 7 tanks - 4 Shermans and 3 M10s at a long distance, firing from 1500 meters to 2400 meters, and 2 of the Sherman turrets were torn off and ignited a raging fire, which looked like taking off his hat and saluting.

During the day, Arnold's army aviation once again mustered up its courage and gathered 91 B-29s to come to the air attack, and the British side also dispatched more than 240 planes, but now the German army not only has naval carrier-based aircraft, but also a large number of land-based fighters, and the British and American planes that came to the air attack have been devastated. The B-29 battle loss rate was as high as 79%, and the British aircraft battle loss rate was also more than 60%, only 2 mosquitoes were lucky to drop bombs on the artificial port, one bomb was missed, it had no effect, and the other bomb hit the port, but the thickness of 50mm blocked the 500-pound high-explosive bomb, making it useless, and was finally shot down by fighters.

Even if the British occasionally blew up a few steel plates, they were all divided and spliced independently, and if they damaged a few of them, they only needed to be replaced.

The completion of the land-based airfield marked the beginning of the German army's complete air supremacy, which was enough to make Smith and the Anglo-American allies despair, but what made them even more desperate was that the American Atlantic Fleet, which had been promised to contain the German naval forces, could not come.

In the afternoon of the same day, in the bridge of the Franklin, Nimitz held two telegrams and wept silently, and the staff officers around him were all deeply gloomy, and they all bowed their heads and did not dare to speak.

The first telegram was to inform the total destruction of the TF44 fleet, and that Spruance was seriously wounded and his fate unknown;

The second telegram was the news of the landing of the German fleet in Santa Catarina, the state of emergency in Brazil, and the general panic.

The telegram sent to Nimitz by Truman and the Joint Chiefs of Staff was clear: "Turn around, protect South America!" ”

This was the second U-turn order Nimitz had received in just a few months: the last time it was supposed to besiege Crank's fleet had gone to Iceland because the main German fleet had been dispatched; This time it was supposed to rescue Iceland, but it was forced to turn around because of the German landing in South America.

"Alas......" he slammed his fist against the wall, crying bitterly, "Iceland is finished...... It's over, but how can I be worthy of Andrew......"

Although the German fleet has lost some warships in the past two days, Britain and the United States, which have suffered losses, have not been able to send more powerful air power, and Ozawa still has 2 regular aircraft carriers and 4 escort aircraft carriers in his hands, and has received land-based support, and his strength and capital are still stronger than him.

But it was not easy to harass the German supply lines: the Germans did not have a second group of troops, and simply relied on the 1st Division and 2nd Brigade that had already gone ashore to fight an offensive war with less and more, and unless they fought with the German fleet near Iceland, they could not effectively find the target of the attack - whether it was the Azores or Cape Verde, they were all hedgehog nests that Nimitz would never dare to touch.

As for Brazil, that is where the core interests of the United States lie, and if Brazil cannot be saved, the strategic situation in South America will be completely ruined, and Nimitz can only explain his pain to the British officers and men serving on the Franklin with tears in his eyes in order to gain everyone's understanding.

Nimitz did not know that there were still 200 U-boats waiting for him on his way to Iceland, and there were more than 60 of the most advanced XXI-class submarines alone, each with 23 powerful oxygen torpedoes, enough to send the Atlantic Fleet into the sea several times.

"Turn around and go to Brazil!" Then there was a long sigh......

"Night Tiger, attack!" Then came the shouts of ambition......

As twilight fell, two very different orders were given!
