Facts have proved that if people are determined to scare themselves, they can definitely scare themselves to death. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info And the smarter the person, the more you scare yourself......

After assuming that the German forces had responded on the basis that accurate information had been obtained, Cunningham and Somerville, two smart men, scared themselves into speech......

After casually assuming it, the two of them actually felt that they had guessed the truth of the matter. The Germans already knew about the plans on Crete, and the idea had penetrated into the minds of both men.

"Isn't this a gift to the Germans?" Cunningham stared at Crete on the map and said gloomily.

Somerville nodded and agreed with Cunningham's statement: "But isn't it, going to Crete is definitely a sheep's mouth." ”

"No! I have to go back to England! Cunningham slapped the table, turned back to Somerville and said, "I must go back and stop this idiot plan!" ”

Hearing the other party say this, Somerville glanced at Cunningham, nodded and said, "You really should go back and stop these idiots from being stupid!" ”

If Li Le had known that the Americans were planning the bombing of Crete, he would have been taken aback by this plan.

And if he knew that Cunningham and Somerville were scared of himself, he would have decided to veto this plan, and he would have woken up with a happy smile in his sleep......

November 1940 was destined to be a month when neither the British nor German admirals could sleep peacefully.

Over here, Dudley? Pound and Cunningham and Somerville were each worried; Over there, Raeder and Lütjens of the German Navy were also full of despair.

They are also facing an unprecedented crisis, because, in their opinion, the Führer forced them to die for their country......

In the office, Raeder, Ruetyans, and an unknown Hines are working a plan for a raid on the Pacific.

"Naval aviation can do the job, we have 20 FW-190T fighters that can shoot down any enemy reconnaissance aircraft that is close to the fleet!" Hines, as a technical officer, reassured Raeder.

Raeder waved his hand depressedly, choosing to ignore his assurance: "Your assurances are not convincing, everything must be formulated according to the situation that the enemy has discovered the exact location of our fleet!" ”

In Raeder's opinion, pinning hopes on 20 naval fighters is an absolutely ridiculous thing.

It has been more than 1,000 years since the birth of the human navy, and the war for supremacy at sea relying on artillery has also been hundreds of years old. But I haven't heard of the use of fighter jets to fight naval battles!

It is true that Raeder is not to blame for this kind of thing, because in his time, there were indeed no fighter planes involved in naval battles and decisive results.

As commander-in-chief of the Navy, Raeder certainly had to think carefully and maintain his skepticism about this new method of warfare proposed by the Führer.

He had to think about the whole fleet, which was the essence of all the surface ships of the German Navy: two battleships, a battlecruiser, a heavy cruiser and a light cruiser!

Gathering all these warships is simply sending food to the British Royal Navy! Could it be that relying on an aircraft carrier can completely avoid the fate of being surrounded and annihilated by the enemy? Are you kidding!

"We can't pin all the conditions on the Zeppelin aircraft carrier." "After sailing out of the Danish Channel, the fleet can go north along the Norwegian coastline, bypassing most of the British patrol network. ”

Although this proposal is not completely reassuring, at least it is a battle plan that Marshal Raeder can understand.

Carefully avoid the enemy's reconnaissance forces, then fish in troubled waters into the wider sea, evade the enemy's main fleet, sneak up on the fragile transport lines, and finally quietly leave to return to safety...... That's what the German Navy should do!

Hearing that Lütjans changed the route of the fleet to a detour to the north, Raeder's face looked a little better, and he nodded and said: "This idea is very good, go north along the Norwegian coastline, and make the most of the cover of the air force." ”

Hines felt that he should not sit here, the admiral in front of him did not understand naval aviation at all, nor did he understand the relevant tactics of naval aviation.

"The reliability of the radar has yet to be proven, and I know that the radar on the battleship Lützov often fails." After talking about the carrier-based aircraft, Raeder also had a distrust of the radar.

It is true that the early radars were not stable, with frequent errors and glitches, which is why Raeder was reluctant to rely on radar in its entirety.

For the sake of secrecy, the radar on German ships was often removed, and the radar, the rate of use and accuracy in this case, are questionable.

Although the Navy has seen the benefits of radar and is its staunchest supporter, they also do not trust radar very much, at least they feel that they cannot rely on it completely.

"This ......" When he mentioned this, Lutjans felt that he should still talk to Raeder about the current radar performance.

Seeing Raeder looking at him, he continued: "Marshal, the performance of the latest radar is actually very stable. ”

It has to be said that German engineers and scientists are very strong, they have world-class advanced technology, and they are able to improve the existing radar equipment in Germany according to the simple reminder of Li Le.

After improvements, German radar technology is not completely backward, at least for now. Because of the attention of the Führer, soon new equipment was taken out and installed on the ships of the Navy.

Radar stations have been set up in areas such as Libya in North Africa and the coastline of France, and three generations of different radar equipment have been used in different generations.

This speed of improvement is also very fast in the eyes of the world. Although there is no revolutionary technological leap, the stability of radar equipment has been improved to a decent level.

"The ship is modified to install a new type of radar, which is very reliable and has improved detection accuracy." Lutejens spoke, speaking to Raeder.

Hearing that the reliability of his radar has been improved, Raeder was also taken aback, if the radar can be used stably, it can indeed provide early warning for the fleet.

In his opinion, even if he had to run away in the end, he could only disperse and run away, and with auxiliary equipment such as radar, he could escape back to some warships and not be wiped out.

The pessimistic Raeder had not yet fought, and was already thinking about scattering and escaping. This really can't be blamed on her, because after all, the core combat concept of the German Navy is a running word!

It's really not alarmist, in the process of building this fleet, it has always been designed and built around how to run between the arrival of the enemy.

And in the course of the battle, the tactics of guerrilla warfare and attracting the enemy's fleet to flee in circles have been implemented.

This is also the main reason why Germany, whether large or small, whether it is a battleship or a cruiser, has designed a terrifying speed of more than 30 knots!

Because of the painful failure, this may be the only fleet in the world that has been thinking about how to run from the beginning of construction to the final ending......

However, now Führer Li Le wanted the fleet to take the initiative to challenge the naval supremacy of the Royal Navy of the British Empire -- how to overcome the psychological obstacles was the most fatal problem for the German naval leadership.

"Radar reliability has improved, which is good news." Raeder nodded, patted Rütjans on the shoulder, and said, "Bring our fleet back as much as possible!" The future of the German Navy depends on you! ”

Hearing that his marshal had given himself the future of the navy, Lütjans nodded with a smile and quickly replied: "I will do my best to bring the fleet back to Brest safely." ”

When he promised this passage, Lütjans seemed to be making the most sincere promise with his life. Whether he was so religious when he got married, he himself didn't know.

Hines looked at the two naval commanders as if they were talking to each other, and wanted to go out for a cigarette.

He couldn't listen to it anymore! In his opinion, the carrier-based aircraft carrier will be able to deal with any enemy ship that dares to approach the fleet on a calm day.

And on the days when carrier-based aircraft could not take off in rough seas, two battleships and three other battleships were enough to cope with various situations.

"Uh, marshal, general, my carrier-based aircraft have been trained for a long time, 28 JU-87C dive bombers, enough to deal with small warships patrolling the British!" He tried to open his mouth and fight for some reasonable status for the carrier-based aircraft.

If these two admirals are allowed to continue, then this naval expedition on which the Führer has high hopes will really turn into a farce at sea in which battleships cover the aircraft carriers and flee for their lives as soon as possible.

Hearing his words, Lu Teyans often watched his carrier-based aircraft training, but he still had some trust, but Raeder could only smile friendly and show his tolerance and generosity.

"From the Norwegian coastline to the west, after getting out of the cover of land-based fighters, the fleet will have to be extra careful." Raeder looked at Hines and instructed, "Do as much reconnaissance as you can, and act as the eyes of the entire fleet!" ”

Hines had a feeling of being insulted...... He really wanted to cover his face, and then lamented -- what a shame that the commander of the dignified naval aviation was reduced to the point of being the commander of a reconnaissance plane......

"The work on determining the enemy's transport fleet has already been given to the submarine forces of Dönitz. They will provide detailed coordinates, you can make a move if you have the opportunity, and give up if you don't have the opportunity! At the end of the meeting, Raeder instructed Ruetjens in a serious voice.
