"Your Majesty, we will absolutely not be able to tolerate such provocative actions of the Americans, even if a full-scale war breaks out, to take back the Azores!" "Reich Admiralty Reinhardt? Marshal Scheer said angrily.

The Imperial Navy is preparing to build the Azores into an important naval base and fortress in the Atlantic Ocean for the Imperial Navy in preparation for the generals' struggle with the United States for hegemony in the Atlantic. But I didn't expect that the Americans would be so bold and pull out their teeth at this time and directly send troops to forcibly occupy the Azores, which is clearly equivalent to grabbing the territory of the German Empire, and not taking the German Empire into account!

"Your Majesty, the behavior of the Americans is indeed tantamount to war against the Empire. The Empire could not bear it. This time, the empire must break the conspiracy of the Americans. Otherwise, the Americans will only gain an inch! At that time, the empire will have to constantly deal with the attacks of the Americans again and again. Imperial Prime Minister Bilo also said.

Although, at this time, the focus of the empire was still to develop domestic industry and economy, solve social contradictions, and make the German Empire develop into a super empire with a developed economy and strong industry.

However, this did not mean that the German Empire could ignore external threats. The provocation of the Americans made the empire have to return the color. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the German Empire to develop with peace of mind. Not to mention defeating many powerful enemies in one fell swoop in future wars to further maintain their supremacy.

"Your Majesty, it is true that the current empire does not have the ability to cross the Atlantic and destroy the United States. But it was easy to thwart their plot in the eastern North Atlantic. Even if the U.S. Navy can be severely damaged, it can also launch an attack on the east coast of the United States, so that the Americans can taste what the consequences will be if they anger the empire. Field Marshal Falkenhein, Secretary of War and Chief of the General Staff, also said.

Qin Tian also nodded, this coincided with his thoughts. Qin Tian also hoped that since the Americans took the initiative to stir up trouble. Then, Germany seized this opportunity to teach the Americans a hard lesson and make them pay a heavy price for it.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed a good opportunity for us. If we can inflict heavy damage on the US Navy, sink a couple of their capital ships. Even if all their capital ships are eliminated, then the US Navy will suffer unprecedented heavy losses. Even if they want to develop again, it's not that easy. This takes a lot of time and resources. Even, if the war goes well, the Imperial Navy can go one step further, approach the United States, and destroy those shipyards in the United States. In that case, the superiority of the Imperial Navy would be further maintained. "Admiral Reinhardt? Marshal Scheer suggested.

"Well, let's follow this plan! Around the Azores, inflicting heavy damage and even eliminating the main forces of the US Navy. Then, send marines to land in the Azores and recapture the archipelago. If all goes well, the fleet will go west and attack the east coast of the United States, focusing on destroying their shipbuilding industry and punishing those Americans severely! Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The ministers all replied.

"How many fleets does the Imperial Navy need to send into battle if the American fleet is to be defeated?" Qin Tian asked.

"With the current situation of eleven capital ships of the U.S. Navy, if the Empire wants to win, it is better to send the Home Fleet and the Atlantic Fleet to battle. If you want to make sure that nothing goes wrong and victory is achieved at the minimum cost, it is better to send aircraft carriers into battle. "Reinhardt? Marshal Scheer said.

Qin Tian couldn't help frowning, he didn't want the power of the aircraft carrier to be revealed in front of everyone so early. In this case, all countries will increase their research on aircraft carriers. However, Germany still occupies an absolute leading position in this field. However, if the performance of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft in various countries continues to improve, then Germany will probably have to pay a greater price if it wants to win in future wars. And this is undoubtedly what Qin Tian does not want to see.

"Your Majesty, the strength of the Reich's aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, other countries simply cannot compare with the Reich. Even if they saw the strength of the Empire's aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, if they increased their investment, it would be impossible to catch up with the Empire in a short period of time. After all, the empire has developed from the beginning to the present, but it has invested a lot of manpower and material resources to achieve its current achievements. As a result, the Empire has opened a considerable gap with other countries. They want to catch up, it's not that easy. Besides, even now, the aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy are constantly making progress and are not standing still. This makes it even more unlikely that other countries will catch up with the Empire in this regard. "Reinhardt? Marshal Scheer said.

He knew Qin Tian's worries, but he thought it was completely unnecessary. What's more, if the aircraft carrier can participate in the war, it will allow the Imperial Navy to win the battle at a small cost. This is of great benefit to the German Navy.

Qin Tian thought about it, this is indeed the truth. Germany has the existence of him, which is equivalent to cheating, which allows Germany to avoid many detours in terms of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft. Under his leadership, Germany has always invested heavily in this area. This makes it impossible for other countries to compete with Germany in this area.

"Well, I give permission to the aircraft carrier group to go into battle!" Qin Tian said. He also hoped that after the aircraft carrier fleet entered the war, the German Navy would be able to defeat the US Navy at a very small cost and win the war. In that case, it would be very beneficial for Germany to maintain its hegemony in the future.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Reinhart? Marshal Scheer replied excitedly. Now, he was almost certain that the German Navy would be able to win.

Subsequently, Germany reacted forcefully to the brazen occupation of the Azores by the United States. The home fleet of the German Navy began to leave the military port and went to the Atlantic, where it joined up with the Atlantic Fleet and rushed to the waters of the Azores. At the same time, the aircraft carrier fleet of the Imperial Navy, a total of six aircraft carriers, also left the military port under the cover of night and sailed into the vast Atlantic. The transport ship on which the 1st Marine Division was traveling will depart later. They will be in charge of landing on the island.
