The diesel engine at the tail of the Karlsruhe is rumbling, due to Germany's industrial progress, with advanced marine low-speed diesel engines, so, many ships are equipped with this diesel engine, compared with the steam engine, has a smaller volume, at the same time, Germany now does not have to worry about the lack of diesel fuel for a long time, so this diesel engine is widely used.

However, one of the disadvantages of the diesel engine is that the power is not large, so the maximum speed of driving this supply ship can only reach 15 knots, and now, this supply ship is moving at the maximum speed of 15 knots.

The bow of the ship split the waves, riding the wind and waves, and when they entered the Pacific Ocean from the Atlantic, the waves were already reduced, and the sea breeze blew against the mast, and the waves gently lapped against the hull.

Captain Terry had only slept for a few hours, and when the eastern sky began to lighten, he stood on the bridge again, looking at the blue sea in the distance, and his heart was surging.

At the same time, he was the only one on the whole ship who knew the goal of his voyage, and he was extremely proud of this operation, and at the same time admired the wisdom of the great Führer, such a strategic detour that only Führer Cirek could have thought of.

Americans, just wait for the obedient surrender!

Tens of thousands of tons of supply ships, traveling on the vast sea, far away, simply not visible.

In this case, the Horse Mackerel submarine in the rear is still bravely tracking.

Submarines of more than 2,000 tons have only one top exposed on the surface of the sea, and the waves often crash against the upper end of the bow, and if you don't pay attention, you can't see them at all.

Bill has no other choice, he has to follow, and he must not be discovered until he finds the secret behind it!

In this way, after sailing for more than half a day, the lookouts on the command tower changed batch after batch, and when the sun slid to the west, suddenly, a forest of masts appeared on the sea in the distance.

That's a huge fleet, unimaginably large!

"Note that the ballast tank is filled with water and is ready to go into a state of underwater navigation." Bill shouted.

Once underwater, the diesel engine has to be turned off, all on the power of the battery, if you sail at full speed, the power will be exhausted in an hour, but, Beer has no choice, the supply ship did not notice him, but a large fleet, there will definitely be many lookout posts, he is already very dangerous to get closer, he must go underwater.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, he knew that the truth was about to appear before his eyes, and his submarine slowly entered the water like a dexterous whale.

"Ascend the periscope!"

Although the American did not think of arranging an underwater snorkel, the periscope has long been a must-have in this era, his eyes are close to the periscope, carefully adjust the focus, and soon, the fleet in the distance comes into view.

Straight through the deck, the hull is not particularly large, the smoke in the chimney is relatively light, this should be a Delhi-class escort aircraft carrier of the Germans with marine diesel engines!

At this time, on the deck of the aircraft carrier, one after another, it was covered with fighters, and at this time, these escort aircraft carriers were acting as water transport ships, transporting these fighters!

Turning his camera again, on the other side, there are large Ro-Ro ships made by Germans, and there is not much to see in the fat belly of the lower layer, but on the top layer, you can see the exposed equipment, all of which are tanks!

With no end in sight, countless ships, densely packed on the sea, this must be a terrible strategic shift that Germany has used almost all of Europe's transportation capacity!

"Keep getting closer!" Captain Bill said that when the initial excitement passed, all he was left with was worry, such a large fleet must be aimed at the United States, what did the Germans want to do?

It's definitely not good for the United States! He must now find out the size and whereabouts of this fleet as quickly as possible, and then send a telegram to the mainland to inform them of this astonishing discovery!

Captain Bill became inexplicably impatient when he thought of this.

The future of America is at stake.

1st Expeditionary Task Force of the German Navy.

This is a huge fleet, with a total of more than 300 warships and 400 merchant ships, and this time, they will have to transport ten main divisions with full personnel, as well as a total of more than 500 warplanes, and all their ground support equipment.

This is a huge army move, and for the first time in history!

At the forefront of the task force is the vanguard of five attack aircraft carriers and two super battleships, and their carrier-based aircraft can even patrol five hundred nautical miles away, looking for the most tranquil sea area and the most suitable route.

When Germany attacked Greenland, it used only six attack aircraft carriers, and for this reason, they divided part of their forces and carried out cross-sea transfers, which is equivalent to half of the German Navy to fight the US Army Air Force and naval aviation.

The fleet at that time, mighty and mighty, formed a terrible formation on the sea, which already frightened the Americans.

And if the current formation is seen by the Americans, it will make them even more distracted, the entire fleet has a length of ten nautical miles and a width of two nautical miles, and this huge fleet is definitely the most powerful and terrifying in this era.

The carriers and battleships in front, the cruisers, formed a sharp cone-shaped front, the middle and rear were bloated escort carriers and merchant ships, and at the same time, on the sides of the fleet, there were destroyer formations for escort.

Commodore Paul Frederick Bondi, commander of the German destroyer force, sat on his destroyer "Wilhelm Heidenkamp" and sailed in the rear of the formation.

This is a 36-year-old warship, although it is only 5 years now, it is already an old ship, and the main weapon it uses is three single-mounted 127 mm naval guns (check the information to see, why not 128?). ), with a full load displacement of more than 3,000 tons. Boilers were used as power, and at the same time, there were torpedo tubes on the sides and depth charge dropping devices in the tail section.

Until now, destroyers have rarely participated in battles on the sea, it is almost anti-submarine, and at the upper end of the bridge, a new device has been added, a sea search radar.

At this time, the radar is scanning the sea surface at a speed of half a minute, and if there is a periscope of a submarine on the sea surface, it can also be found clearly, and the wind and waves in the Pacific Ocean are not large, and it is easy to identify the target from the wind and waves.

Inside the bridge, the radar crew was staring closely at the screen, and suddenly, a bright spot appeared on it.

"Report, suspicious clutter spotted."
