Germany and the United States, the two great powers of the world, dispatched their navies to confront each other in the Atlantic, and there was a very high possibility that war would break out. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info This has undoubtedly attracted the attention of the whole world. Originally, the great war between the Allies and the Entente was hailed as a new battle for world hegemony. Originally, Germany had already had the upper hand in this war.

But now, the United States has unexpectedly shown signs of joining, which undoubtedly makes this war even more confusing. With German power, it had the upper hand in the war with Britain and France. But if the United States joins in, it is very difficult to say whether this advantage will be maintained forever.

It's just that anyone with a discerning eye knows it. Unless the Americans have their brains caught in the door. Otherwise, they would never have gotten involved in the war at this juncture. Because, judging from the great strength shown by Germany, it will be difficult to defeat Germany even if the United States enters the war. At least, Germany will still have the upper hand in the short term. By the time the industrial power of the United States is transformed into military power, Britain and France may no longer be able to hold on. At that time, even if the United States was full of firepower, it would still not be able to defeat Germany. The Atlantic Ocean is not only a natural barrier for the United States, but it also restricts the United States from developing outward. This is because if the United States wants to project military power to the outside world, it also needs to cross the Atlantic. This is simply not possible without a strong navy as a support.

Although, the strength of the US Navy is very strong, and the potential for the future is also great. However, there is still a big gap compared with the German Navy, which is now in full swing. That's why the U.S. government has to take such measures.

In the Atlantic Ocean in February, the temperature is very low and the sea is cold.

A submarine of the German Navy is cruising in the waters of the middle Atlantic. Although, the range of German submarines was not too far. However, with the support of a large number of submarine supply ships, the German Navy's submarine forces can still extend their range of activities to the mid-Atlantic sea, and even directly to the east coast of the United States. However, the United States and Germany did not go to war, so except for the occasional German submarine appearance in the eastern waters of the United States, the main area of the activities of the German Navy's submarine forces is still the waters of the East Atlantic, especially the waters near the United Kingdom, which are the hunting areas of the German submarine forces. In the past few months, countless British merchant ships have been sunk by them.

"Boss, nothing has been discovered yet. What the hell do those guys above think, actually let us go here to search for the American fleet. The Atlantic Ocean is so big, who knows which route the Americans will take? A submariner said to the captain, Major Dönitz.

"Maybe the Americans have fled back in fear! After all, this time we can be said to have done our best! ”

"Okay, no more nonsense. Now that the above order has been given, do we have any other choice but to carry out the order? Do you want to disobey the order? Finding the traces of the American fleet is still a great achievement for us. Major Dönitz said.

Although, he also believes, searching for the American fleet in the Atlantic is like looking for a needle in a haystack. But he also knew that if he wanted to intercept the American fleet, he had to discover the American fleet first. For this reason, the German Navy sent a large number of submarines and light warships to the depths of the Atlantic Ocean to search for the American fleet.

Major Dönitz and his submarine, having been sailing on the surface of the sea, did not dive. Because in this way, the submarine can maintain a high speed and be able to search a larger area.

Perhaps it was God's favor for Major Dönitz. This time, their luck was just as good.

At noon on February 27, Rear Admiral Dönitz's submarine, in the waters of the middle Atlantic, spotted the American fleet.

"Oh God! Are the Americans sending all their family resources out? Dönitz couldn't help but sigh when he saw the huge fleet in the distance.

"I really don't know if the Americans want to go to war with the Empire. However, if they dare to go to war with the Empire, the Imperial Navy will be able to destroy them easily! ”

Major Dönitz nodded, indeed, although the American fleet is very strong, it is still very large compared to the Imperial Navy.

"Send a telegram to the flagship right away, we have found the Americans." Major Dönitz ordered.

The submarine soon reported the discovery of the American fleet to the battlecruiser Mackensen, the flagship of the Broken Fleet. Vice Admiral Spee, ordered them to continue tracking the American fleet. At the same time, the mobilization fleet was mobilized to rush to the position where the American fleet was located.

Although the speed of the submarines is not fast, if the American fleet keeps cruising at a low speed, it will have no problem keeping up with them. But alas, Lieutenant Dönitz was discovered after they followed the American fleet for a day. The U.S. Navy sent several destroyers to expel them. When he had to, Major Dönitz had to order the submarine to dive and take shelter. By the time they surfaced again, they had lost no trace of the American fleet.

It's just that since the traces of the American fleet have been exposed, it is obviously unlikely that they want to hide it any longer.

On March 1, a German submarine once again spotted the traces of the American fleet. It's just that at that time, the American fleet was not far from the British mainland.

"General, we have found the Americans, who are in the sea about six hundred kilometers west of the island of Ireland. At their current speed, they are expected to be able to reach our no-sail zone tomorrow. A staff officer reported to Lieutenant General Spee.

"Order the fleet, go full speed, and be sure to intercept the Americans." Lieutenant General Spee ordered.

"Yes, General. However, in terms of time, we may be too late. ”

"Which battleship is closest to the Americans?" Lieutenant General Spee asked.

"The light cruiser 'Königsberg'."

"Let the light cruiser 'Königsberg' rush over at once and entangle the Americans. Find a way to buy us enough time. Lieutenant General Spee ordered.

"Yes, General."

However, it was undoubtedly very difficult to entangle the American fleet, which had as many as 12 battleships, with a light cruiser with a displacement of no more than 5,000 tons. However, there is no way around it. You can't just let the U.S. fleet break into the no-sail zone demarcated by Germany just because the main fleet can't arrive in time, right?

The light cruiser 'Königsberg', having received the order, immediately rushed to the predetermined sea area.
