The Canadians feel even more aggrieved, your US Army has completely overwhelming planes and naval guns, how can it be so difficult to fight the 5 or 6,000 German soldiers in Cape Verde that they have lost their troops one after another? We didn't have planes, our artillery was suppressed by German naval guns, and the Sherman tank was not a Tiger opponent at all, so it's normal that it can't beat the enemy......

Admiral Otto Schnewingd, who was returning chief of the General Staff of the Navy, suggested that the fleet should withdraw as soon as possible and retain the existing mobile forces. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Dönitz tried his best to say good things for the fleet, of course, he was not an unprincipled good man, his reason was: an Independence-class light aircraft carrier has 30 aircraft, 4 ships with a total of 120 aircraft, and the German army has lost about the Elbe and the Aquila with about this number of aircraft, and the overall losses of both sides seem to be equal, but the difficulty of destroying 4 and destroying 2 warships is not the same, not to mention that the carrier-based aircraft also killed 5-6 10,000-ton light cruisers - which is equivalent to the total number of light cruisers that Germany currently has.

"Führer, our army has lost more than 100 aircraft, the enemy's losses are more than 4 times that of our army, and we have also successfully covered hundreds of cargo ships and nearly 1.4 million tons of materials to retreat to the country smoothly, if this is not a victory, what is a victory?"

Keitel and Yodel also seconded the motion.

Hoffman felt anxious, he originally expected to be able to mobilize the British and American aircraft carrier formations after the attack on Newfoundland to play Tai Chi to destroy the opponent again, but he did not expect to fight a lose-lose battle, of course, on the other hand, he also had the expectation of a tough battle with Britain and the United States, after all, the German Navy's self-confidence in the decisive battle with the British and American fleets has not been strong, unless it is forced to a dead end, otherwise there is always a fear of nothing, less ships are not terrible, this mentality is not reversed, and it will never achieve the bearing of a naval power.

He nodded, Dönitz's words were reasonable, somewhat similar to the conclusions he had drawn for the Battle of Bermuda.

"Well, try to strengthen their forces as much as possible to help them win this battle, aircraft carriers, overcome it and always deal with it."

Speer was originally going to come to Hoffman to express his dissatisfaction: HNA was just going to test 12 Do-412s, why did the Air Force send to Newfoundland the 8 Ta-152s that had just been produced and had not even completed all the test subjects at the instigation of Focke-Wolf and Dr. Tanke? This is a gross irresponsibility to the armaments production process! But there was no chance to say this again, because the Führer had just said "to strengthen their forces as much as possible to help them win this battle", and the Chief of the General Staff of the Air Force, General Yeshunek, winked at him, suggesting that he should not sue anymore, and that if he did, he would do so......

Listening to Hoffman ask about the topic of aircraft carriers, Speer thought for a while and replied: "The Ise will basically be ready for service later this month, the Hyuga will be put into service next month, and there will be two aircraft carriers converted from Italian cruise ships available in February and March (the King and the Count of Savoy), and then the Jean-Bar will be basically completed in April...... In short, if the Führer can convince the Italian leaders, one aircraft carrier will be available basically every month for the next six months. ”

"This is absolutely no problem, isn't Mussolini coveting the production line of Bf-219 and Ju-98, I think it can be provided to them, as for the No. 4 tank and assault, if the Italians can take it, they can also be provided to them, by the way, the Italian leader also asked me for jets, G43 and STG43, you can all look at it and give it to ......" Hoffman said with a smile, "The Italians used our technology and production line to build a batch of No. 3 assault guns and trade rubber and other materials with the Japanese, and the price is more favorable than ours." He thought I didn't know, ha...... It's funny! When will Italy be able to keep secrets too? I'm just too lazy to say it. ”

Everyone laughed, since the start of equipping the Assault Attacker, the demand for the No. 3 assault gun in the troops began to decline, so the Führer did not bother to care. Hearing Hoffman's release of these technologies and equipment, Speer's smile was even greater: "In addition to this batch of rebuilt aircraft carriers, our newly built Yunlong and Dafeng will be gradually completed in the future, and other auxiliary warships will also be supplied synchronously, and the Navy will definitely have many more aircraft carriers and aircraft in the future than now, but I have a request, in addition to meeting the needs of the Azores and ready-made military equipment, the rest of the ships, raw materials, fuel and other materials need to be uniformly dispatched by the Ministry of Armaments." ”

In the end, Speer finally made his request clear, and everyone suddenly realized: 100 freighters alone were enough to fill the Armaments Department.

Hoffman waved his hand heroically: "Yes, if the Japanese want to negotiate terms with us next, they can even consider putting some unwanted American equipment on the list -- it's all picked up......

"Since the head of state has spoken, the next things are much easier, the new equipment and new technology required by the Italians do not have to be given all, I will slowly control the gradual output, anyway, they can't digest so much at once. If I could, I would rather like the Navy to fight for 1-2 more aircraft carriers of the American fleet, even in a ratio of 1:1. Because in this way, both the Falklands and the Azores direction can be impregnable, and when the Azores air defense tower project and bunker fortifications are fully completed in March, hehe, the Americans will probably not be able to use 10 aircraft carriers and 10 divisions...... As for the Falklands, if we continue to maintain the export of South American shipping, the domestic supply of food and raw materials will be more secure, and more equipment will be provided. ”

Speer's words are not bragging, the general mobilization has been carried out for more than a year, the output of all important equipment has been going up, there is no sign of even turning the corner, everyone does not dare to say that the ceiling of the future is there, Speer believes that if the supply of raw materials is up, the peak of production will appear in the second half of 1945 and maintain for 2-3 years. What is even more rare is that due to the effective organization of Speer and the vigorous implementation of the Eastern Policy, Germany is currently thriving, there is no shortage of food and all kinds of necessities, and even the countries of Western Europe have also benefited, coupled with the cessation of strategic air raids by Britain and the United States, the entire European continent has quickly returned to the ideal social state: factories are producing at full capacity, social unemployment is almost extinct, and although the supply of materials is not everything, there is no problem in ensuring basic needs, except that the supply of civilian fuel is still in short supply. Most people, especially the lower middle classes, live a better and more fulfilling life than before.

Against this background, the adherents of the Belgian Rex party continue to grow, an ordinary citizen said in an interview: ...... I don't know which is better, socialism, or liberalism, or the Führer or the President of the United States, is greater, but if the current life were nationalism, I would vote for them - it's nothing to be politically serious or nervous, at least not to be free to starve and fear unemployment...... As for the Jews, didn't they go to Africa to establish a state? The Führer also gave them a big copper mine, what is not satisfied?

After receiving the next battle plan from the fleet, everyone nodded their heads, and no matter which of Ozawa's three ideas was more advantageous and feasible, everyone's worries disappeared.

In the evening, Berlin's reply to the telegram was sent to the Zeppelin, and Marchar breathed a sigh of relief, and then approached Frank, the commander of the attack group, to talk to him: "Tomorrow you will lead the attack again...... Remember my words, don't care about the losses in the rear, don't change your mentality, and let as many people come back alive as much as possible! ”

"Yes, sir! But I think Commander Ozawa seems to be a little ......, "Because Ozawa commanded the fleet well, the image of authority was established early on, and although he was a foreigner, his prestige among mid-level officers was very high, so Frank was a little nervous."

"Don't care about his attitude, he has no ill will towards you personally, he just wants to succeed. The Japanese are like this, they don't take human life seriously, but you must keep your subordinates, this is the most important lesson I have learned from the losses of the Bermuda team. Airplanes, warships, tanks can be built, and the Führer now has the industrial power and resources of all of Europe, so what equipment will he need in the future? It is possible that if one Germanic man dies in a war, there will be one less, and no matter who will be able to change it. ”

Machar explained to the other party earnestly: "The Marines have gradually arranged to retreat tonight, General Weiss specially sent a telegram, he doesn't care about the equipment or anything, the key is to keep people, these 5 battalions are the elite obtained after a long time of war, and they can re-pull a complete Marine Brigade after going back and recruiting some new recruits." You have seen the combat effectiveness of the Canadians, the Americans, and the Russians, and they are several times more than us, so are they particularly stupid? Of course not, because they are inexperienced and must pay the price of blood to learn war. If all these veterans are gone, we will also be reduced to such a miserable situation in the future, you have seen the situation of the Japanese pilot team, except for the most top-notch group, the back is simply training soldiers, which is useless...... Therefore, in public and private, pilots should not choose to fight to the death! ”

Frank nodded in understanding, and he was grateful to Mashal for telling him this before the battle: after seeing the loss of today's fleet, the pilots were generally not very interested, thinking that they had not completed their mission, and that he urgently needed to decompress them.

As the clock ticked by, before dawn on 3 December, numerous fighters, reconnaissance planes, bombers, and transports had been dispatched, the Axis and Allied fleets were maneuvering according to their respective operational plans based on the situation on the battlefield, and Matthew Ridgway and his 101st Airborne Division were on their way to Newfoundland......
