December 2, 1939, Wilhelmshaven, the home fleet base of the German Navy. The commander of the Home Fleet, Admiral Lütjans, boarded the battleship Caesar.

Although, aircraft carriers have become the absolute workhorse of the German Navy. But many generals were still willing to use the battleship as their flagship. This time to launch an attack on the Russian Navy, the four 'Lion-class' battleships are undoubtedly the main force. That's why Marshal Lütjans chose the battleship 'Caesar' as the flagship.

If he had a decisive battle with the U.S. Navy in the future, he might move his headquarters to an aircraft carrier. After all, in the decisive battle with the US Navy, aircraft carriers are the well-deserved main force.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, we will be able to win this battle easily!" Marshal Lütjans looked confident.

Marshal Raeder nodded, he believed that with the strength of the German Navy's home fleet, it would definitely be possible to defeat the Bu Russian Navy.

In order to cover up this operation, when the home fleet left Wilhelmshaven, there were not only four 'Caesar-class' battleships and two 'Constellation-class' aircraft carriers, but all eight capital ships and four 'Constellation-class' aircraft carriers were all out to sea.

This action of the German Navy immediately made the US Navy on the other side of the ocean feel like a great enemy. After all, the German Navy's home fleet was dispatched in full force, and if it was aimed at the American Navy, then they would be in danger.

For a time, the US Naval Operations Department issued an order that the US Navy completely cancel the vacation, and all personnel must return to their warships as soon as possible. At the same time, various reconnaissance planes and reconnaissance ships, as well as spies, were active in order to find out the purpose of the German Navy.

Even President Roosevelt was concerned about this, and he was equally worried about whether the German Navy would launch a surprise attack on the U.S. Navy without declaring war. If the German Navy succeeds, the United States will have to suffer a heavy blow. In this war, it is even more impossible for the United States to win.

The United States has a lot of spies in Germany. Especially after the stalemate in relations between the two countries, a large number of German-Americans left the United States and returned to Germany. And among these people, there are also many spies of the United States* military.

In order to find out the actions of the German Navy, the U.S. military did not hesitate to expose a large number of spies, which made the German security and intelligence services join forces to arrest many American spies, so that the U.S. spy network in Germany was almost dealt a fatal blow.

It was not until four days later, when an American submarine operating in the Norwegian Sea spotted the German fleet and sent a telegram risking its death, that the U.S. Navy was able to affirm the German Navy's actions. Of course, the American submarine could not escape after sending the telegram, and was caught by the anti-submarine destroyer of the German Navy that quickly caught up, and was finally blown up and sunk in the icy Norwegian Sea.

Chief of Naval Operations Harold? Admiral Stark with the Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Navy Fleet, James Brown? Admiral Richardson, Admiral Nimitz, Deputy Commander of the Fleet, Ernest Commander, Commander of the Atlantic Fleet? Admiral Kim, capital ship commander Hasborn? Admiral Kimmel is Vice Admiral Halsey, commander of the 1st Carrier Fleet of the U.S. Navy. Vice Admiral Fletcher, commander of the 2nd Carrier Fleet, Rear Admiral Spruance, commander of the 3rd Carrier Fleet, and others discussed the situation.

"Your Excellency, the German navy is not coming at us. They are now on their way to the northern part of the Norwegian Sea. Moreover, the size of their fleet was not large, only four battleships and two aircraft carriers, as well as some escort warships. Therefore, this time the Germans should deal with the Russian Navy, not us! "James? Admiral Richardson said.

Harold? Admiral Stark nodded, he actually thought so after receiving that information.

"But even that shouldn't be taken lightly. After all, four more capital ships of the native fleet of the Germans and two aircraft carriers of the 'Constellation class' were missing. If they cooperate with the German Atlantic Fleet, they will still be a great threat to us. Admiral Nimitz said.

Harold? Admiral Stark consulted with the other generals again, and made a decision after synthesizing everyone's opinions.

"From now on, all fleets are maintained in the highest state of combat readiness. In addition, inform the Russians of the movements of the Germans. "Harold? Admiral Stark said.

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Everyone replied.

When the meeting was over, Major General Spruance remained, and he still had his opinion unexpressed. It's just that there were a lot of people just now, and he didn't say it.

"Your Excellency, can we use this opportunity to sneak up on the German Navy? If all goes well, we can take out half the strength of the native fleet of the German Navy. If the other fleets can cooperate well, maybe the results can be further improved. Maj. Gen. Spruance said.

Harold? Admiral Stark thought about it, but still shook his head: "The Germans will not be so easily attacked by us. What's more, we did not go to war with Germany. Now we are not ready to participate in the war. A rash sneak attack will cause the war to break out early. In addition, even if we sink a few battleships and aircraft carriers of the Germans, we will not be able to pose much of a threat to the German Navy. ”

Major General Spruance nodded, not saying anything more, this was just a rough idea of his.

After learning that the German navy had sent a fleet to attack their navy, Joseph immediately summoned the commander-in-chief of the Russian navy, Admiral Isakov.

Admiral Isakov turned very ugly when the Germans actually sent two aircraft carriers and four powerful battleships to deal with them. He was very aware of the strength of the Russian Navy, and there was no possibility of winning the battle against the fleet sent by the German Navy.

"Comrade Joseph, the strength of the German fleet is too strong, if we rashly engage the German fleet, I am afraid we will not have any chance of winning!" Admiral Isakov said stiffly.

Joseph nodded, he knew that Admiral Isakov was telling the truth. After all, Burussia did not pay much attention to the development of the Navy, except for the initial purchase of four battleships from Germany. Now in the face of the powerful fleet of the German Navy, it is naturally impossible to beat.

"Comrade Isakov, what are you going to do with the Germans?" Joseph asked.

"Comrade Joseph, if I can, I hope to be able to avoid the German Navy and save my strength!" Isakov said.
