Chapter 834: On the eve of Erich Raeder's expedition

At this moment, Erich Raeder was also setting up a naval reserve base in Hamburg, riding a car towards Berlin, Germany.

Originally, Chen Yanlong planned to send the America Führer Train, which was towed by two locomotives and had an extra-long body, with a total of 15 passenger cars; There was also an armoured wagon in front and behind, which was loaded with 20-mm anti-aircraft guns and other luxury equipment for the Führer's special train to pick up Erich Raeder and come to meet him at the Chancellery in Berlin.

But Erich Raeder felt so flattered and honored, and he still deserved it, because he had not yet led the German Navy to victory over the British and American Navy, so Erich Raeder refused Chen Yanlong's kindness and chose to drive to Berlin to meet Chen Yanlong in a car under the protection of his guards.

As for flying, he was also rejected by Erich Raeder.

Because he hopes to be able to take a good look at the scenery along the way, so that his thinking and mood can be better.

And on the way to Berlin, he still kept reading the latest combat information of the Japanese and American troops in the Pacific Theater given to him by Chen Yanlong, which made him have a bottom in his heart.

In addition, Erich Raeder reviewed and understood the information on the Japanese and American battles and the tactics and strategic situation of the Doolittle Air Raid, the Battle of the Coral Sea, the Battle of Midway, and the Battle of Guadalcanal, as well as the Second Battle of Makin Island and the Battle of the Gilbert Islands, which are now being carried out by the Japanese and American forces.

And the American admirals he paid the most attention to were Chester William Nimits, Raymond Arms Spruance, Mark Mitchell, William Halsey Jr., G. Lee Goldover, William Wizzy Pratt, Robert W. C. Giffen, Ernst Joseph King, Harold Rainsford Stark, Thomas Kincaid, et al.

As for the Japanese naval officers, he paid more attention to Koga Fengichi, Hasegawa Kiyoshi, Shigetaro Shimada, Toyoda Vicetake, Toyoda Sadajiro, Fushimi Miyashi Kyoshi, Okada Keisuke, Takagi Takeo, Takahashi Miyoshi, Takasu Shiro and Kawako Shiro, Kato Takayoshi, Yoshida Zengo, Kondo Nobutake, Inoue Narumi, Suzuki Kantaro, Yonechi Mitsumasa, Sueji Nobumasa, Nagumo Tadaichi, and Yama Prefecture Masako.

Shotoku Fujita, Shoji Nishimura, Koichi Shiozawa, Kizaburo Nomura, Naokuni Nomura, Shusei Nagano, Junichi Ito, Kiichi Endo, Ryunosuke Kusaka, Renchi Kusaka, Shigeru Fukuru, Satoru Kakuda, Horikiyoshi, Keno Kurita, Motomo Matsushita, Jizaburo Ozawa, and a large number of outstanding naval officers of the Japanese army, such as the personal data and evaluation reports of their comprehensive abilities.

Of course, the provider of these materials still has to go through Chen Yanlong, who is familiar with the situation of these Japanese officers and the information of later generations, to supplement the explanation.

"It's really surprising that the Japanese and U.S. navies actually have such a large naval officer corps, and their actual combat ability and actual combat experience, as well as command ability, are better than our naval officers!"

"It's all because we don't have an aircraft carrier fleet, if it weren't for the fact that the Führer didn't know what methods were used to get so many aircraft carrier fleets and established multiple aircraft carrier training bases, I'm afraid we wouldn't have the talent of the aircraft carrier fleet at all, and we wouldn't even have ordinary personnel who know how to command and control the aircraft carrier fleet!"

Erich Raeder sat in his car and flipped through the profiles of Japanese and American Navy officers.

"However, if I accept that the Führer will go to the Pacific Ocean this time to bomb the atomic bomb development base on the US mainland, I am afraid it will not be an easy thing!"

"It's the base camp of the U.S. military, and it's unknown whether those Japanese navies will secretly cause damage to our aircraft carrier fleet!"

Then Erich Raeder muttered to himself in annoyance whether to accept the mission that Chen Yanlong was about to give him to bomb the US atomic bomb base.

"Forget it! If I hadn't personally carried out this arduous combat mission, I'm afraid that with the current weak naval strength of our empire, there would not be many officers who could do it! ”

"Especially high-level, commanders with rich combat experience are even more difficult to find!"

"Moreover, Dönitz and Field Marshal Richthofen also have other vital combat missions to be carried out and completed, so there is no way for the two of them to accept Chen Yanlong's atomic bomb combat mission to go to the Pacific to bomb the US mainland!"

In the end, Erich Raeder was still determined, clenched his fists and made up his mind.

After that, he tried to relax his body as much as possible, and then shifted his gaze to the delicate passing along the car window, and watched, hoping that he could get some inspiration for the battle and relax his body and mind.
