Chapter 609: Yang Mou
"Hey! Rommel. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Several brothers were of course overjoyed to hear Dönitz's appointment, and hurriedly saluted Dönitz.
"Hmm...... Stephen, tell me about the state of all the modified aircraft carriers, whether they have been completed, I remember that when I left, all the modifications were almost completed, tell me about the current situation. ”
"Report to the commander-in-chief, the seven aircraft carriers were all renovated yesterday, and they have not yet undergone a sea trial, and they have not even had time to test the power and weapons, is the commander-in-chief's mission really so urgent? You can see if you can suspend the execution for two months without explaining the situation to the above. ”
"Stephen, you do your part, can the Führer's order be questioned? As long as the transformation is completed and personnel will be dispatched from tomorrow, and there is a big shortage of people familiar with the operation of aircraft carriers, then we will assign a little bit of the personnel we have trained to each aircraft carrier, and the general types of work will be transferred from other warships.
For example, a general position like chief engineer or something, you need more than one person, you go back tonight and take out the specific data, I will ask Marshal Raeder to transfer it directly tomorrow, and Marshal Raeder will send these people by plane, is there any problem? ”
"Commander-in-chief, what if there is a major failure of these aircraft carriers that leave the port to perform their tasks without going through sea trials, isn't that a delay in military intelligence?"
"You are this problem is very targeted, then we will prepare more repair parts, more repair personnel and tugboats, starting tomorrow, you drive all the aircraft carriers out of the port for a walk, debugging is also good, you must try your best to debug all the equipment well, at least there are two places where there can be no major problems, one is the power system, but the elevator, these two places must be the key debugging objects, I will give you two days, two days later must return to the port to load the carrier-based aircraft and all strategic materials."
"Yes."
Stephen is not questioning Dönitz's orders, this is not that Steven deliberately opposed Dönitz, but that Stéphahn is a strict and responsible German soldier, and it is good that he did not fight Dönitz to the death.
"Destroyer Commander-in-Chief Hahn, you immediately organize the replenishment of all destroyers, and the Deputy Commander of the Submarine, you are responsible for counting all the materials, these special materials are transferred separately from the national weapons and equipment depot, and then they will arrive at the port of Kiel at noon tomorrow, you must assist all the logistics personnel to do the inventory, do you have any problems?"
"Nope."
"Good...... Schmidt: What is the situation of your flying team, you are the sharpest arrow in the hands of our aircraft carrier formation, whether we can complete this mission depends on your naval aviation, let's talk about it! ”
Schmidt and Dönitz are old brothers, and they are absolutely unconditional obedience to Dönitz, Dönitz let Schmidt fight the east, he will not fight the west, Schmidt is the sword in Dönitz's hand, whether Dnitz can point the sword this time, whether he will be invincible depends on Schmidt.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, there were originally more than 200 carrier-based aircraft pilots in our flight regiment who had gone through actual combat, and the other 300 pilots were all drawn from the Air Force, and they had been training on the simulated training ground for several months.
They have also done several take-off and landing training on the Zeppelin aircraft carrier, and most of them have passed the assessment, and there is no problem at all with these assessed carrier-based aircraft pilots, and the number of them is absolutely sufficient, and we now have a total of 632 qualified carrier-based aircraft pilots available. ”
"Good...... You see, this is your example......"
Dönitz can be proud of having a brother like them, such a subordinate, what the commander did not expect, he has long thought of and did a very good job, if this operation dies because there are not enough pilots, Dönitz will have to hit the wall by himself.
Now Schmidt has solved the problem that Dönitz feared most, which is a good sign! Although this operation was very hasty, it was also the most unexpected. There are two sides to everything, and if you want to do everything perfectly, maybe Dönitz's plan to sneak up on the British home fleet will be put on the Prime Minister's desk.
On February 17, 42, in order to create more smoke, Rommel issued an ultimatum to the Soviet Union, demanding that the Soviet Union must surrender by March 1, otherwise all the consequences will be borne by itself, and at the same time, Germany began to mobilize troops to the Soviet front with great fanfare.
Rommel did not shy away from anyone in this troop deployment, and reporters from all countries could go deep into the German army to cover the situation, and everyone thought that Rommel deliberately showed his muscles to the world! Anyway, all eyes of the world were drawn to the Soviet-German front.
Numerous German troops were constantly marching to the front, and Stalin in the Soviet Union was not to be outdone, and Stalin ordered a counterattack in local areas.
At this time, the Soviet Union was at the end of its rope, and Stalin's counterattack was only thunderous and rainy, and the Soviet army was fully transferred to strategic defense under Stalin's orders, and all kinds of strategic materials quietly transported by the United States had never been interrupted.
The United States is now negotiating with Germany on the issue of prisoners of war, and they have promised not to help the Soviet Union and Britain, but this is only a verbal promise, will the United States really keep its promises to Germany? That's impossible!
On the morning of 18 February, the Berliner Zeitung published a newsletter that the German aircraft carrier group would go to the Arctic Ocean for sea trials. Such a newsletter of only a few dozen words can hardly attract attention, because now all newspapers are full of reports and interviews from the German-Polish front.
At the same time, a notice was also posted outside the port of Kiel that the German aircraft carrier group would go to the Arctic Ocean for sea trials for a month, and all the families of the navy could see them off at the dock.
This piece of information quickly appeared in front of the heads of Britain and France, and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill directly made instructions on it after seeing this information:
"There's nothing on the surface."
At this time, Britain's MI6 naturally did not pay attention to this matter, but focused on Germany's intelligence on the Soviet Union, for example, immediately obtaining the battle plan of Germany's war against the Soviet Union, which is the main task of the British MI6 at present.
The enemy is not paying attention to Dönitz, and Dönitz is not asking for attention, and he has clearly published it in the newspaper anyway, and has made an announcement, and the British are not alert that they are looking for their own death, and no one else is to blame.
The huge aircraft carrier formation, which had been loaded, swaggered out of the port of Kiel, and by the harbor were countless naval families who had come to see them off, because all the aircraft carriers that Germany had just completed their transformation needed sea trials, and now Dönitz, the army colonel, took these eight aircraft carriers, 22 destroyers, five light cruisers, and 10 10,000-ton supply ships, and the submarines left the port last night.
"My dear...... I love you......"
"Mother, take care of the child......"
"Daddy...... Wow Wow ......" (To be continued.) )
