The United States does not want to increase the land area because its area is already large enough, and the population is not too large, look at Mexico now, don't give it to the United States, the United States has already got what it wants. Who wants a big bunch of poor people left? Why did Germany fight World War II, its territory is small, its industry is developing rapidly, its resources are insufficient, there is no colonial dumping, and the markets of Britain, the United States and France cannot enter, and if the land area is not large, sooner or later it will be threatened by a big country, and it is impossible to speak.

Moreover, even the domestic employment problem is waiting to be solved.

If the United States, like the United States, is vast and sparsely populated, rich in resources, and spends some effort to weaken the opponent in World War II, forget it, what do you have in Germany, hundreds of thousands of land; The lack of resources, coupled with the treaties of limitation brought about by the First World War, plunged Germany into great humiliation and predicament; Therefore, under this premise, Hitler was able to rise to power and start a war.

But no matter whether the ins and outs of these things are like this or not, the current Chen Yanlong has made up his mind to let himself live, to survive, to live better, at least better than in the previous life.

Of course, by the way, it also led Germany to rise and embark on the road to becoming a strong country.

Therefore, as soon as the naval conference began, he ignored the opposition in the German Navy Council and gave them all stern orders that no matter how difficult it was, to complete the production of the 300 U-XXI submarines he had deployed, and the development of the nuclear submarine "Nautilus", by 1944.

At the time of Chen Yanlong's meeting, the aircraft carrier fleet led by Dönitz was also in the Mediterranean, preparing to meet their first British and American fleets for operations.

At 1:45 p.m., Reeves, one of the commanders of the British and American aircraft carrier fleets, with the consent of Commander Cunningham; Reconnaissance planes were again sent to search, so 20 torpedo planes and 12 fighters conducted a radar search with a radius of 350 nautical miles at an azimuth of 250 degrees and 268 degrees.

When these crews take off, each of the two torpedo planes is to be searched at least 5 degrees apart.

But they did not search for long, and immediately in the area between 15 degrees N and 135 degrees E, they encountered a small group of German reconnaissance aircraft.

Therefore, in order to be able to completely annihilate this group of German reconnaissance planes, the British and American aircraft carrier groups took off eight SB2Cs and a batch of F6F reconnaissance planes, and at the same time let them form a bomber and a fighter to form a small search and attack formation, and rushed towards the small group of German reconnaissance planes that were discovered.

However, the German reconnaissance plane group had already turned around and evacuated as soon as it discovered the British and American aircraft group, and it had no intention of engaging in an air battle with the British and American reconnaissance planes and fighter planes as soon as it was evacuated.

Because these German reconnaissance planes left their aircraft carrier fleet, but they were more than 560 nautical miles away.

At this time, Dönitz's forward fleet was divided into three large fleets, the first aircraft carrier fleet had 206 carrier-based aircraft, the second aircraft carrier fleet had 138 carrier-based aircraft, and the third aircraft carrier fleet had 108 carrier-based aircraft.

In addition to this, more than 480 nautical miles away, there were two other German aircraft carrier fleets on the flanks ready for battle.

The German carrier-based aircraft are all F-8D fighters, the F-8 fighter is the first truly supersonic carrier-based aircraft of the US Navy, the last naval fighter with machine guns as the main weapon, and the last carrier-based single-engine fighter.

The F-8 is characterized by the use of variable installation angle wings, during take-off and landing, the hydraulic self-locking actuator on the aircraft can increase the wing installation angle by 7 degrees, which not only increases lift, but also makes the fuselage basically parallel to the flight deck or runway, avoiding the impact of the pilot's vision due to the nose lifting, and the wing returns to its original position during level flight. In addition, the outer section of the wing can be folded upwards for easy parking on the ship.

Moreover, the F-8 had a low accident rate and good maneuverability, and was one of the main carrier-based fighters of the US Navy in the late fifties and mid-sixties.

The nose is equipped with four 20 mm "Colt" cannons, each with 85 rounds of ammunition. There are two weapon pylons on each side of the fuselage, which can hang four "Sidewinder" air-to-air missiles and eight 127 mm "damped" rockets......

In addition to these carrier-based fighters, the other two carrier fleets, the 4th German fleet and the 5th German fleet, are equipped with Do 217 and He-177 heavy bombers, totaling 300 aircraft.

"The British and American aircraft carrier fleets have appeared, and all the flying groups are in place, ready to attack!"

When the German reconnaissance plane group discovered the appearance of the British and American reconnaissance planes and fighter planes, they immediately sent a telegram back to inform them

Soon all the aircraft carrier fleets under the command of Dönitz knew the news, and immediately made all the German aircraft carrier fleets instantly sound the battle siren, and also asked all the pilots to gather in the aircraft carrier flight conference room for a short pre-war lecture.

Amid the whining sirens of the anti-aircraft battle, groups of German pilots immediately hurried to the assembly room in the lower cabin to assemble and wait for the lecture of their superiors.
