"Führer, General Lütjans is back." An excited naval liaison officer reported to Reinhardt with irrepressible excitement: "After the fleet returned to Wilhelmsport, General Lütjans and Marshal Raeder boarded a special plane, and are now on their way to Berlin. ”

Although he had received the news of Narvik's victory a day earlier, the naval liaison officer was still excited. The hero who created this great victory is about to return, and he will return to the capital Berlin with the honor of the Navy.

Reinhardt's reaction was seen by Reinhardt. He was not surprised by this.

In the history of the Imperial Naval War, which has never tasted a single victory, the first victory has been ushered in for the first time, and there are such shining results. Not a single ship of the High Seas Fleet was damaged, the British detachment was completely destroyed, and 4,000 British sailors surrendered to the German Navy, humiliatingly acknowledging the rise of the Imperial Navy, and allowing the High Seas Fleet to receive two more advanced British destroyers that could be put into service after repair. It is not an exaggeration to say that such a result is a miracle in the history of naval warfare.

And it was the German Navy that was in decline and decay 20 years ago that created this miracle.

"You go to the airport now and wait for Rutyans, and bring him as soon as possible!" Reinhardt took a deep breath and said loudly, "I will award him the Iron Cross, with oak leaves!" I'm going to promote him to admiral, and I'm going to name the new aircraft carrier after him! ”

Reinhardt really wanted to laugh.

He just wanted to win one game at sea, but he didn't expect that Ruttyans would win so beautifully. From the beginning of the radio silence, stealth of whereabouts. And then they will concentrate all carrier-based aircraft on the battlefield at the initial stage without leaving a second hand to strive for superiority. Every step of the way requires great courage and determination on the part of the commander. If you are not careful, it will be a total loss.

Not to mention anything else, just because Lu Teyans rushed to the battlefield in the silence of the radio, and only by simple confirmation with the vigilant submarine force before the war, he dared to quickly and decisively put into the main force of all the carrier-based aircraft in his hands, which was enough to show his naval combat talent.

No one thought that the German detachment would dare to attack a British detachment on its own initiative. No one could have imagined that the navy, which was as proud as the British Empire, would end the battle with a global fiasco and the surrender of the remnants.

From now on, all those who regarded the Reich's High Seas Fleet as a "living navy" before this war will understand one thing in stone – the German navy is by no means a furnishing. Once they leak their minions, there is no way for their opponents to escape the fragmented end! No one! Neither can the British Royal Navy!

The weak country, which had only 100,000 troops at the beginning, has now defeated more than a million enemies on the European continent! The chicken that once screamed and scuttled all the battleships in Scarpa Bay now gave the British Empire a resounding slap in the face with a textbook victory!

Although Reinhardt did not take off his clothes, waving his shirt and roaring to show how proud he was. But those close to him knew that the Führer's face was almost sickly red the moment he heard the triumphant news.

He gave Lütjans a force that was not in his original history, and Lütjans brought him back victories that had not appeared in his original history.

The U.S. Foreign Office issued only a call for restraint, effectively acquiescing in the Anglo-French invasion.

In Finland, hesitating to join Reinhardt's allies, Mussolini half-heartedly cooperated with Reinhardt, and Franco spent his days pondering how to break free from German control.

The Third Reich, on the other hand, defeated the British Empire, which was proud of itself, on its own least favored shortcomings.

What could be more shocking than this. Even the Imperial Navy, which had always been considered the weakness of the German armed forces, was able to defeat the Royal Navy, which was the foundation of the empire's hegemony.

How could the Third Reich, whose army and air force had proven themselves many times and had never met an opponent across the continent, be unreliable?

Joining the Allies of the Third Reich and cooperating with the German Iron Army may become an option for larger and larger powers.......

"The navy has won a big victory, so now it's up to you to see how your army performs." Walking to the window, Reinhardt looked out the window at the clear sky and silently looked forward to the 30th Infantry Division of Major General Hans.

..........

Germany, Wilhelmshaven.

"It's unfortunate that we became the first Royal Navy fleet to surrender to a foreign country." A young British sailor, Nono, complained.

At the beginning, he joined this glorious collective with full of enthusiasm. After several years of boring training, I finally waited for my first time to participate in the war, but what I was waiting for was such a humiliating ending, and anyone who encountered it would have to be absolutely aggrieved.

"Be content, remember what happened to the Norwegian sailors before. I am still more inclined to surrender than to be bombed and sunk in such cold waters. Next to the young sailor, a middle-aged ensign who was a little obese showed the young man a positive attitude of being fat and generous: "Think about the Norwegians who were sunk by us before, did they survive after falling into the water?" ”

The second lieutenant, who had worked in the quartermaster department, suddenly took out a cigarette from somewhere, and then actually took out a lighter and lit the cigarette and smoked: "Glad our captain surrendered in time, otherwise we might have become bait in the sea now." ”

Looking at the forties-in-140 second lieutenant, the young sailor suddenly understood something. A person who only became a second lieutenant at the age of forty, not to mention the sense of collective glory, may not even have personal self-motivation.

But now, neither the middle-aged lieutenant, who is used to messing around, nor the young sailor, will have a chance to change the status quo. Soon, they will become free laborers in the German Labor Construction Corps.

"Hey! That fat guy over there! A German guard soldier with an MP40 submachine gun came over: "What about you!" How do you smoke?! ”

Immediately after the surrender of the British fleet, Lütjans boarded his aircraft carrier and seized all their supplies. Not only guns and ammunition for self-defense, but also all personal belongings except for the personal clothing of British officers and soldiers.

In line with the cheeky skills he learned from Reinhardt, Lütjans brutally rejected the British commanders' requests to keep their guns without bullets and guns, and not to encroach on their personal belongings.

The German officers and soldiers took everything they could to take away and replenished their empty pockets. And cigarettes and other items are one of their favorite seizures.

Although the German soldier who made the discovery did not know how the fat British man hid a cigarette and a lighter during the search, it was not too late to capture it.

"What is that German guy with a gun talking about?" The fat lieutenant, who did not understand German, looked at the German soldiers who were getting closer and closer with a puzzled expression.

"Don't know?" The young sailor on the side still couldn't understand German: "I see if he pointed at your mouth and yelled, would he want me to slap your mouth?" ”

"No," the fat lieutenant still held a cigarette in his mouth, with an incredulous expression on his face: "Well....... Or you try. ”
