This is a good opportunity, with the help of this opportunity, the future maritime sovereignty will also be taken over, and the empire has the right to conduct comprehensive law enforcement inspections on the sea of the entire world, relying on the empire's powerful navy!

Thinking about the fact that the United States had maritime hegemony in later generations, it looked like a hooligan and casually inspected the civilian ships of any country, and it made me angry when I thought about it, and now, I can finally do the same.

Not just for the present, but for the post-war world order, which is the duty of the Empire.

"Well, we don't have a coast guard vessel yet." Raeder said.

"It's hard to say, why not retire some of our current high-speed vessels and convert them into coast guard vessels." "The displacement doesn't have to be too large, like the Deutsche class," Hilek said. ”

The German class, that is a warship with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, using this kind of warship as a coast guard ship, what other civilian ships dare to disobey?

Hearing this, Raeder nodded knowingly: "We still have many French and British ships that can be used as coast guards." ”

Since it is a joint law enforcement in Europe, of course, it is necessary to pull other warships, 10,000-ton coast guard ships, and run to enforce the law.

At the same time, the matter can be considered settled.

On the German side, the European coast guard is mobilized to carry out comprehensive law enforcement, and it is inappropriate for the navy to use civilian vessels, but the coast guard is different, after all, the police are here to manage public security, including maritime security.

If they don't accept it, then the coast guard has an excuse to eliminate them, the German-class coast guard ships, are they afraid?

If the United States wants to argue that it is international waters, then this side can send a representative, and the two sides will have a good fight in the international arena.

If the Americans were to send their navy to protect it, the conflict would have escalated, and their own navy would have been waiting for it for a long time. At present, the United States is making every effort to deal with the situation in the Pacific Ocean, and it is enough for Americans to feel at ease if this side of the Atlantic Ocean does not expand, and it is absolutely impossible for them to take the initiative to send warships to expand the conflict.

As much as the German Navy can destroy, Germany has full confidence in this.

In this way, the United States military aid to the Soviet Union was completely blocked.

A large amount of equipment and materials can only be transported by sea, and the Americans do not have large transport aircraft, and if they do, they are not enough to squander, so going by sea is the only solution.

The affairs of the old continent, the new continent should not be mixed indiscriminately!

"Führer Cirek, our method can cut off the hands and feet of the Americans in the Atlantic, but we should see that the channel for the United States to support the Soviet Union is not only the Atlantic." Dönitz spoke again.

Ciric nodded, Dönitz's view is correct, there is more than one channel, the United States spans two oceans, and so does the Soviet Union, if it can't get through in the Atlantic, the United States will definitely turn to the Pacific Ocean.

The Atlantic is the shortest option, because now the Soviet Union is mainly a battlefield on the Western Front, and the unloaded equipment will soon be able to reach the battlefield.

And if the United States takes the Eastern Front, it can only be transported from Alaska to the Far East of the Soviet Union, and then the Soviet Union will cross the entire Asian part by rail, and reach the Western Front battlefield in a leisurely manner.

It's a twist and turn, but it's better than nothing.

In the history of later generations, many materials were indeed transported in this way.

Now, although the United States is not going well in the Pacific Ocean, it has been beaten all over the ground by island countries, and almost all of it has lost its presence in the western Pacific, but on the route of the icy Arctic Circle, the Americans still have an advantage.

Especially now that the summer is approaching, the Soviet Union's Arctic Circle route is also open, and American ships can be sent to the western part of the Soviet Union through the Arctic Circle route.

The island country does not have that ability, let alone that heart, and the current island country, which is bent on seizing all kinds of resources in Southeast Asia, how can it run into the icy Arctic Circle to fight the Soviets.

You can only rely on yourself.

But now, Germany's strategy determines that Germany's aircraft carrier group will not appear in the Pacific Ocean for the time being, so it is only possible to use one weapon.

"Dönitz, your conjecture is correct." Ciric agrees with Dönitz.

Of course, Dönitz did not take it for granted, he had just raised the issue of this, that is, he wanted to dispatch the submarine forces of the Navy.

On the route from Alaska to the Far East of the Soviet Union, using their own submarines to ambush those merchant ships is the only way, anyway, the German Navy will not admit it at that time, and it would be good to push it all to the island nation.

"However, we don't have enough large ocean-going submarines, and we can't stay there for long." Raeder also knew what Ciric meant, and couldn't help but say.

Now the German Navy is moving towards the ocean-going navy, as are the German naval submarines.

The German Navy has long developed ocean-going submarines with a displacement of 1,000 tons, and now, the latest submarines in service are already big guys with an underwater displacement of 2,000 tons.

It was this XXI submarine that ran to the Pacific Ocean to ambush at the beginning.

However, such submarines are still not enough.

The main power of the submarine is still diesel-electric technology, even if Germany invents the snorkel technology, the submarine can only be charged when it floats to the snorkel state.

If you want to sail underwater, you need a battery, so the structure of the submarine has not changed, the diesel engine in the rear of the submarine, the battery in the lower part, and the torpedo compartment in the front, the remaining space really left for the submarine is quite small, plus the need to carry more fuel, resulting in food and other things not increasing significantly.

The self-sustaining power of such a submarine is limited, and the target location is the Arctic Circle region of the Pacific Ocean, and the range is long.

If you go to the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, you will simply go around more than half the world, and even if you take the route of the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, it is half the length of the world, and the back and forth is very tense.

In the past, it was okay to say that one or two submarines alone, but now they have been dispatched a lot, and replenishing these submarines with food, fresh water and fuel is a prominent problem, and Germany does not have suitable allies in the Pacific to supply them, let alone go to the island countries.

The other route is much closer to the Arctic Circle, but now the German Navy lacks training in this area, and it is quite dangerous to take a shortcut in the Arctic Circle, and all along the way are the territory of the Soviets.

Originally, it was to the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and now it is to the northern part of the Pacific Ocean, and the voyage will be thousands of nautical miles longer, and there is a lot of uncertainty.

The existing submarines, none of them are suitable.

"It seems that only our XXI-2 submarines can be used." "This submarine, which has now completed the construction of its first test boat, is undergoing sea trials," Dönitz said. ”
