When Eisenhower saw that reinforcements from his fleet had arrived in Algiers; The fleet consisting of the three Tirpitz battleships, the three Bismarck battleships, and the three heavy cruisers "Prince Eugen" that Chen Yanlong exchanged for Dönitz for use, including 12 battleships, two Midway aircraft carriers, three escort carriers, 20 cruisers, 20 destroyers, and three oil tankers, had also left the seaport in Sicily and sailed in the direction of Algiers, preparing to fight the aircraft carrier fleet of the British and American forces.

In addition, the German fleet is equipped with a large number of new carrier-based aircraft F-8 fighters, which are the first truly supersonic carrier-based aircraft of the US Navy in the 50s.

The F-8 fighters also carried 20 mm cannons as the main stationary armament, as well as 32 unguided air-to-air rockets and two AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles.

"Field Marshal Dönitz! Why did we only send such a small fleet to raid the Anglo-American fleet? ”

Chief of Staff Tong Wolfford and Dönitz, dressed in crisp uniforms, stood in the command room of a Midway Island and watched the situation on the sea, while looking at the situation on the sea.

"Because we still have a large number of new I-400 class submarines under our seabed, carrying out assistance operations!"

"Of course, the main thing is that our German Navy, after three years of brutal war, there are not many remaining naval personnel, especially veterans with actual combat experience!"

"Although the head of state has come to us half a year in advance, he has come to us desperately to recruit troops and horses to expand the scale of our navy and gather more outstanding naval talents! However, the time is still relatively short, so even if we want to shorten the training process and time, we will not train more qualified, excellent and experienced Navy soldiers as quickly as the money printing machine! ”

After listening, Dönitz sighed deeply and helplessly.

After that, he was also worried about what the result of his obedience to Chen Yanlong's order this time and the initiative to attack Tunisia and the British and American aircraft carrier fleet in Algiers would be, victory! Still a failure!

As for the German Navy, which has always had a large number of submarine forces, it is still not absolutely sure that it will be able to defeat Britain, which is known as a maritime empire, and the United States, which also has more and more aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft at sea.

"But I feel that the fleet and air force support for our attack this time are still not enough!"

Navy Chief of Staff Tong Wolfford was still worried.

"Don't worry! As long as the Führer and I are in the German Empire, we will do everything we can to deploy more air forces and fleets to support us in the battle, defeat the Anglo-American Allied navy, and fully seize sea supremacy in the Mediterranean. ”

In response to the other party's worries, Dönitz showed a bright smile of confidence and peace of mind, and responded without worrying at all.
