Chapter 1175: Air Raid (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Admiral Isakov of the Russian Navy, after leaving the Kremlin, went straight to the airport and took a plane to Murmansk.

Although Ulyanovgrad had already been captured by the Germans, the territories to the north were still under the control of the Russians. Especially now that the weather is cold, the Germans have no further actions. This allows the Russians to still use these territories to transport supplies and the like. It's just that it is very difficult to transfer supplies when the sky is full of ice and snow.

Although Murmansk is located at a very high latitude, it does not freeze in winter due to the warm North Atlantic current, and it is one of the few ice-free ports in Burussia. This is also the reason why the Russian Navy, after leaving Ulyanovgrad, transferred its station here.

Before the plane landed, Admiral Isakov saw four huge battleships moored in the harbor. These four battleships were the 'Burussia-class' battleships purchased from Germany, with a full load displacement of up to 45,000 tons, and were equipped with three triple 45 times caliber 410 mm main guns. Twenty years ago, or even ten years ago, this was a very powerful capital ship. But alas, by the current point of view, these battleships are outdated.

The speed is too slow, the armor is too weak, and the firepower is not very strong. In addition, there are not many anti-aircraft guns, and when attacked by enemy carrier-based aircraft, they are just live targets. Therefore, it can be clearly seen that Germany fooled Russia into buying these capital ships just to trap them. With the current strength of the German Navy, these capital ships can be easily sent to the bottom of the sea.

But even so, these four capital ships have become the most powerful warships of the Russian Navy. After feeling the threat from the air, the Russian Navy also installed a lot of anti-aircraft guns on these four battleships. However, because there was no overall design, these anti-aircraft guns could not form a complete anti-aircraft network. Once attacked by enemy carrier-based aircraft, it is easy to break through the air defense network.

After Admiral Isakov's plane landed, the generals of the Russian Navy were already waiting at the airport.

"Comrade Commander, let's go back to the headquarters, it's too cold!" This was stated by the political commissar of the Russian Navy, Admiral Orlov.

Admiral Isakov nodded and got into the car.

By the time I returned to the naval command in the port of Murmansk, it was already evening. Admiral Isakov did not bother to rest and convened a meeting directly.

"Comrades, there is bad news for everyone. The Germans are ready to do something to us. Their fleet is already on its way. It is expected that in about three days, it will arrive in Murmansk. Admiral Isakov said.

"What? The Germans are coming? ”

Suddenly, all the Russian admirals were shocked. Among the Russian army, the navy is an unappreciated service, and even the air force cannot be compared. They have not added new ships for a long time.

Compared with the Russian Navy, the German Navy is the world's maritime hegemon. As early as the last world war, the German Navy was able to defeat the British Navy and become the supremacy of the seas. In the past 20 years, the German Navy has been constantly developing, and it is conceivable how powerful it will be. In contrast, the German Navy did not have any warships at all, except for the four 'Burussia-class' battleships purchased more than 20 years ago. Even these 'Burussia-class' battleships are simply garbage in front of the German Navy. Therefore, what will be the outcome of the war with the German Navy, everyone can imagine.

"According to the information reported to us by the US allies, the German Navy dispatched four 'Caesar-class' battleships and two 'Constellation-class' aircraft carriers against us!" Admiral Isakov continued.

"Comrade Commander, it's not that I'm afraid of the German Navy, but that the strength of the German Navy is really stronger than ours! Even if they only send four battleships and two aircraft carriers, it will definitely not be something we can deal with! "said the commander of the battleship 'Burussia', Rear Admiral Kasatonov.

The other generals also nodded their heads again and again, and almost all of them thought that if they fought with the German navy, they would definitely lose in the end. Moreover, they will lose ugly, and they will lose badly!

Admiral Isakov nodded: "I know. So, I have already consulted Comrade Joseph. Comrade Joseph agreed that we avoid the German fleet and preserve strength! ”

After listening to Admiral Isakov's words, the generals of the Buenos and Russian Navy breathed a sigh of relief. In their opinion, at least there is no need to fight the Germans, and their lives should be saved.

"The German Navy is too strong, much more powerful than us. In front of them, we didn't even have the power to fight back. So, for the sake of the future of the Russian Navy, we had to avoid fighting the Germans. But I believe that one day in the future, our navy will be even stronger! When the time comes, we will definitely become a world-class navy! Admiral Isakov said.

"Yes, Comrade Commander!" The others replied. But there are many people who don't think so. It will be too difficult for the Russian Navy to develop into a world-class navy. Congenitally, they are insufficient.

"Let's go back and prepare, tomorrow morning, the fleet will leave Murmansk!" Admiral Isakov ordered.

Early the next morning, the Russian Navy left Murmansk and sailed into the vast Barents Sea.

However, now the weather is cold and the sea is full of icebergs. The area where they can move is not very large. If you hit an iceberg, even a warship will be seriously traumatized.

On the morning of December 8, the German fleet reached the sea less than a hundred kilometers from Murmansk.

A reconnaissance plane that took off from the aircraft carrier "Sagittarius" conducted a reconnaissance of the Murmansk military port, but found that the military port had become empty, and there was not a single Russian warship in Burmansk.

"Humph! The Russians ran quite fast. But do they think they can escape? Command the fleet, dispatch cruisers and destroyers, as well as seaplanes, search the nearby sea surface. Also, get the aircraft carriers ready, send bombers to attack the Murmansk military port and destroy it! I'd like to see how long the Russians can stay at sea without a military port! Marshal Lütjans ordered.

Under the orders of Marshal Lütjans, the aircraft carriers "Archer" and "Capricorn" of the German Navy began to be very carrier-based.
