As Dönitz said this, a British convoy codenamed 'OB-300', loaded with much-needed war supplies for the British forces in Africa, sailed towards Africa under the escort of nine destroyers.

When the British fleet passed through the waters southwest of the icy sea, the German U-boats that happened to be passing by in this area were accidentally discovered, and the German Admiralty was informed.

Soon Dönitz, who was talking loudly, received the news, so he immediately used a radio command to Galene, the captain of the U-boat that had discovered the target, asking the other side to keep an eye on the movement of the enemy fleet and wait for reinforcements to arrive, and immediately attack and sink the British escort fleet.

At the same time, he also issued an order for all U-boats and I-400 series long-range submarines in the vicinity to rush to the sea area where the target is located, where they will assist Captain Galine's fleet in annihilating the British convoy and transport fleet.

If the movement can be made larger, then try to make it as large as possible, so as to attract the attention of the British and American troops, so that they can distract themselves from the battle, and better cover Dönitz's fleet to sneak attack the British and American fleets in Tunisia and Algiers and other places.

But just after Dönitz finished his combat mission, the new commander of the British Home Fleet, Admiral John Tovey, also received the latest information from their Admiralty and discovered the whereabouts of Dönitz's aircraft carrier fleet.

So the new commander, John Tovey, immediately dispatched 3 heavy cruisers, 6 destroyers, 4 battleships, and 2 light aircraft carriers, and a large number of carrier-based aircraft and reconnaissance planes to the waters where the Dönitz aircraft carrier fleet was located to conduct exploratory reconnaissance.

At the same time, he immediately relayed this important news to Prime Minister Churchill and Eisenhower, as well as Deputy Commander Alexander, and Commander Cunningham Navy.

Then he also summoned all his high-ranking officers for an emergency combat meeting.

Soon in a small but neat operational meeting, the transportation routes of the 18 Anglo-American transport fleets were clearly marked, and these transport fleets were preparing to transport large quantities of weapons and military supplies to North Africa, preparing to meet Rommel's counterattack on North Africa's military stockpiles.

"Our special forces have just reported to our Admiralty the movements of the German aircraft carrier fleet, which are heading in the direction of our Tunisia, and they are not good and not bad."

"And we are the advance fleet of Tunisia, and the stationed fleet, so we are about to fight the German army, a sudden and menacing aircraft carrier fleet!"

"So now I want to discuss with you, do we have a good battle plan to withstand this German aircraft carrier fleet? Of course, it would be even better if we could defeat them and restore the authority of our British Empire's maritime supremacy! ”

As soon as all the officers arrived, the new commander, John Tovey, gave a straight briefing on the battle they were about to face.

"Then do we now know the number, strength and commander of this German aircraft carrier?"

As soon as the words fell, the captain of a heavy cruiser named Doton immediately stood up and asked.

"I don't know the specific situation yet, but I have already dispatched a fleet and reconnaissance planes to test the strength of the German aircraft carrier fleet and the situation!"

"So we should soon know the strength and number of the German aircraft carrier fleet that suddenly appeared!"

After hearing this, the new commander, John Tovey, immediately responded.

"Alright! Then I feel that we should understand the number and strength of the German fleet before the tactical deployment of the battle will be better! Otherwise, if we rashly deploy troops without knowing the details of the other party, I am afraid that we will be killed by the Germans and attacked suddenly! ”

After hearing this, the heavy cruiser captain Doton continued to express his opinion.

"Hmmm! I agree with your idea, because I intend to do the same, and I have already made an urgent report to Prime Minister Churchill and Eisenhower and Admiral Cunningham about the situation of the German aircraft carrier fleet! ”

"They should also give us new combat instructions soon, as well as send reinforcements to support us!"

Hearing this, the new commander, John Tovey, nodded in response.
