One "The native fleet of the Germans has been dispatched, and together with their Atlantic fleet, it is a whole 16 capital ships. This is a big test for us. "Chief of Staff of the Atlantic Fleet of the US Navy Henry? Lieutenant General Wilson said.

Henry? Admiral Mayo nodded, he had to admit that the German Navy was strong. However, by this time, it was clearly impossible to retreat.

"We have only 11 capital ships, five fewer than the German Home Fleet and the Atlantic Fleet combined. In terms of the performance of the battleship, we should not have any gap compared with the Germans. Or rather, the gap won't be too big. Therefore, our chances of winning this battle will not be too great. But even so, we can't back down, we need to find ways to win. If we retreat and flee, then the brothers who landed in the Azores will be miserable. The Germans will tear them all to pieces with naval guns. On the contrary, if we can defeat the German Navy and drag it down no matter how bad it is, then the brothers in the Azores will be able to use the weapons in their hands to make the Germans pay a heavy price. "Henry? Admiral Mayo said,

Henry? Lieutenant General Wilson nodded, indeed, this time their task was to protect the troops that landed in the Azores. Or rather, to cooperate with the Marines, to hold the Azores and thwart the attempts of the Germans to retake the islands. If the German Navy can be defeated, then their task will naturally be well accomplished. But if they couldn't defeat the German navy, then they would have to think of other options.

"It would be nice if the fleet of the Germans could be dispersed. In this case, we will have the opportunity to gather superior forces and defeat them in one fell swoop. "Henry? Lieutenant General Wilson said.

"It's undoubtedly very difficult. Let's hope God bless us! "Henry? Admiral Mayo said. He didn't have much confidence in that. As long as the Germans were not fools, it would not have been possible to disperse the fleet. After all, the strength of 11 capital ships of the US Navy is enough to eat any scattered German fleet.

The commander of the German Navy's operation was still Admiral Hipper, the commander of the Home Fleet. It's just that this time they didn't form a combined fleet again, but went their separate ways. It's just that the Atlantic Fleet is temporarily under the control of Admiral Hipper. Similarly, the aircraft carrier fleet, which is more than a hundred kilometers away from the rear of the main forces of the fleet, is also not something that Admiral Hipper can command. Although the aircraft carrier fleet will participate in the entire operation, it will also assist the fleet in defeating the Americans. However, the aircraft carrier formation has a great deal of autonomy.

On the battleship Caesar, the flagship of the Home Fleet, the top brass of the German Navy was discussing the operational deployment.

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the information we have received so far, the American fleet is operating in the waters around the Azores. The purpose for them to stay is also very simple. The first was to fight a decisive battle with the Imperial Navy. If they win, then the Reich will probably not be able to prevent them from occupying the Azores. The second is to provide protection to the US Marines who landed on the Azores. After all, if they leave, we will be able to make those Americans who landed in the Azores pay a terrible price with powerful naval guns alone. Admiral Hippel said.

"General, this is a great opportunity for us! If we can seize this opportunity and inflict heavy damage or even total annihilation of the main fleet of the US Navy in one fell swoop, then the Americans will not be able to challenge the hegemony of the empire in the Atlantic Ocean for a long time. "said Vice Admiral Berdick, commander of the Atlantic Fleet.

With the strength of the US Navy becoming more and more powerful, the pressure on the Atlantic Fleet of the German Navy can be imagined. If the US fleet can cry loudly, then the pressure on the Atlantic fleet of the German Navy will naturally cease to exist. This was undoubtedly very eager for the Atlantic Fleet of the German Navy.

"General Berdick, rest assured, your wish will come true. His Majesty the Emperor has given an order for us to take out the U.S. Navy. If all goes well, they will go to the East Coast of the United States, destroy their shipyards, and hit their shipbuilding industry hard. So, getting rid of the U.S. Navy is just the first step. "Chief of Staff of the Home Fleet Richter? Lieutenant General Fils said.

The other generals couldn't help but laugh. In their opinion, it is still very possible for the German Navy to achieve such a strategic purpose. In that case, the German Navy would once again win a major victory, thus consolidating its maritime supremacy.

"General Holzendorf, if we lure out the main fleet of the Americans. So, does the aircraft carrier fleet have the strength to completely defeat them? Admiral Hipper asked.

Admiral Holzendorf, now in the position of commander of the aircraft carrier fleet. I am afraid that this position will not be abolished until the aircraft carrier is assigned to the major fleets. Admiral Holzendorf served as commander of the High Seas Fleet, but this position was abolished when the German Navy was divided into five fleets. In addition, Admiral Khorzendorf is no longer young, and the commander of the aircraft carrier fleet may be his last real post. Next, he will probably go to the Naval Academy or the Naval Aviation Academy as the dean. It is precisely because of this that Admiral Khorzendorf attaches great importance to this opportunity. This will be his last big battle before leaving office. Admiral Holzendorf also hopes that he can lead the aircraft carrier fleet to a clean victory.

"General, the aircraft carrier fleet is ready. As long as the capital ship of the American fleet is discovered, we can launch an attack. Carrier-based aircraft on six aircraft carriers were enough to drown those battleships of the Americans. Admiral Holzendorf said confidently.

Admiral Hipper nodded: "Okay, let's do it!" Admiral Berdick, the Atlantic Fleet and the Home Fleet, split up to give the Americans a chance. As soon as the main fleet of the Americans is discovered, immediately notify the aircraft carrier fleet, and the aircraft carrier fleet will strike at the Americans, and then we will clean up the final mess. ”

"Yes, General." Lieutenant General Berdick nodded.

Although, at this moment, the United States and Germany, did not declare war. However, the two sides are actually already at war. Especially when the German Navy entered the waters near the Azores in a big way, there was no doubt about the outbreak of this war.
