(Dingtian Novel House.) The strategic air force of the Chinese Empire carried out large-scale aerial mine-laying operations along the coastline of western and southern Europe, blockading all the major ports and shipping lanes of the Allied Powers in the region, causing the interruption of maritime trade of the Allied Powers, the forced closure of major ports, and even the German High Seas Fleet, which was bound for the English Channel, was unable to replenish and recuperate at any ports along the way.

The German High Command attached great importance to this, and Hitler also regretted it a little at this time, and hurriedly ordered Rudolf to personally take command of the German Navy to ensure that the High Seas Fleet could not only complete its mission but also return safely.

Rudolph was really helpless when he received this commission from Hitler. He knew it was a chore, but he had to take it.

The biggest challenge facing Rudolph was how to secure the High Seas Fleet. The news of the build-up of the Chinese Empire's two-ocean fleet in Britain had already been known to the German OKW Intelligence Bureau, and Rudolph was well aware of the strategic intentions of the Chinese Imperial Navy, so he urgently convened an enlarged meeting of the Admiralty to discuss countermeasures. ╔╗

"It's clear that the Union is waiting for our fleet to drill into it with open pockets!"

Dönitz pointed out the current situation of friend and foe, and his views were quickly agreed by other dignitaries of the German Admiralty.

Bundy immediately added: "I propose to immediately transfer the high seas fleet back." Our fleet is not an opponent of the Imperial Chinese Navy at all, not to mention the cooperation of the British Royal Navy this time, there is a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, and it is a foolish act to take the initiative to fight. ”

Rudolph knew in his heart what Hitler was thinking. It is necessary to complete the task and save the fleet, but the latter is the key. After completing the task and losing the fleet, Hitler would certainly not give up, and Rudolf's good days would come to an end. Saving the fleet without completing the mission will only be scolded at best. So Rudolph weighed the pros and cons and decided to abandon the task and directly take back the fleet. But he had to do a face-saving project. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable to run back like this.

"The Song-class submarines of the Imperial Chinese Navy are known as the black holes of the ocean, and we have suffered a lot of losses on them, and there is intelligence that the Imperial Chinese Navy has specially dispatched more than 300 submarines of this type in order to completely annihilate our main naval force. ╔╗”

"Song-class submarines are said to be expensive, and even if the Chinese Empire has money, it is impossible to build so many submarines. I estimate that this is just a smokescreen for them, and in fact there will be no more than 200 Song-class submarines capable of being put into the Atlantic theater. ”

"Even if there are only two hundred Song-class submarines. It will also be a nightmare for the Imperial Navy, because we have not yet developed an effective anti-submarine strategy against Song-class submarines. So. The main fleet of the Imperial Navy was absolutely not allowed to go to the English Channel. There will be a cemetery for our Navy. ”

Dönitz, Bundy, Alfred, Farman and other important members of the Navy spoke one after another, and generally supported Rudolph's idea of immediately transferring the fleet back in order to preserve its strength.

At this time, Chief of Staff Simco suddenly said: "Maybe you don't know yet, we have developed a new weapon that can restrain the Song-class submarines of the Imperial Chinese Navy. Our naval warships are not afraid of enemy submarine attacks, because their so-called black hole in the ocean has lost its effectiveness. ”

Rudolph asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Seacomb smiled. ╔╗ explained: "Originally, this was a battle plan that I secretly made with my former Secretary of the Navy, but now my predecessor is gone. I should have told you. ”

Rudolph and the others were confused, just waiting for Seacomb to continue explaining: "The Song-class submarines of the Chinese Empire are difficult to detect by our naval sonar system. Therefore, the warships and civilian ships of our navy are often attacked by the submarines of this so-called black hole of the ocean, causing immeasurable heavy losses to the Empire. Naturally, we will not sit still, so together with the former Secretary of the Navy, I have set up a special expert group to develop and restrain the Song-class submarines, and now we have mastered the relevant technology, and the Song-class submarines are no longer ghosts for us, we can dig them out of the sea and sink them. ”

Rudolph asked: "Why doesn't even the Supreme High Command know about this?" ”

Rudolph, as the second Führer of the Third German Reich and the number two man after Hitler, had nothing he did not know, but he was a little unhappy about Sicombe's plans.

Sicomb explained, "Please don't be angry, we can't help it. ╔╗From the founding of the Chinese Empire to the end of World War I, the relationship between China and Germany was very close for more than 20 years, especially between the two sides, and even we used to be a paramilitary alliance. ”

Rudolph asked, "Does it matter?" ”

Sicomb smiled and continued: "During the honeymoon period of more than 20 years, Germany and China, from the government to the military to the people, learned from each other and helped each other, during which two whole generations (in the era of the big explosion of science and technology, ten years is enough to change a generation) were affected, from the beginning of the Chinese pro-German to the German pro-Chinese. In particular, after World War I, the Chinese Empire expanded rapidly, and dominated the world in science and technology, economy, culture, and military, causing millions of Germans to become pro-Chinese elements. ”

Rudolph waved his hand, interrupted Sicombe's words, and asked directly, "Say whatever you want!" ”

Sicomb stopped beating around the bush and said directly: "I just want to explain one thing, there are pro-China factions everywhere in the imperial government and army, from the top to the grassroots, and we don't want our intelligence to leak to the Chinese empire word for word." ”

Rudolph understood what Seacomb meant, and said, "You mean that the imperial government has spies of the Chinese Empire from the top to the grassroots, right?" ”

Sicomb nodded and said, "The Chinese Empire knows everything about us, and it hits our vital points everywhere, so this possibility cannot be ruled out." ╔╗Especially the Chinese adviser next to the Führer. ”

Rudolph nodded, agreeing with Sicomb's opinion that the pervasive spies of the Chinese Empire were indeed one of the greatest threats to Germany at the moment. As for the Chinese adviser next to Hitler, Rudolph also reported it to Hitler more than once, but Hitler did not respond for some reason.

"I will report this matter to the Führer and the High Command! But now we don't have time to deal with those things, you tell us first, has your research been successful? Can it really restrain the Song-class submarines of the Chinese Empire? ”

Sicomb nodded and said confidently: "Please rest assured that we have tested it and will definitely be able to detect the Song-class submarines of the Chinese Empire." It's just that we haven't taken action, just waiting for the moment of truth to come. ”

Rudolph asked: "So, this time the High Seas Fleet is prepared?" ”

Sicomb smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "That's right! We expected that the Imperial Chinese Navy would send a submarine fleet to ambush our fleet halfway, so we waited for this moment to come. ”

Rudolph was lost in thought, hesitating.

Dönitz was also dissatisfied with Seacombe's concealment of such an important military secret, and said: "Even if it can restrain the submarine forces of the Chinese Empire, the High Seas Fleet is still no match for the Chinese Imperial Navy's Two Oceanic Fleet. ”

Sicomb laughed, "At least we won't withdraw for nothing!" ”

Rudolph nodded and said, "That's right! If it were withdrawn like this, the reputation of the Imperial Navy would be severely damaged. If we can achieve a tactical victory, then we can also give an account to the Führer and the people. ”

Rudolph thought for a moment, then said to Sicombe: "In this way, you immediately take out that secret plan of yours, and we will study it immediately." ”

Seacomb immediately received the order, so he took out the secret battle plan he had hidden for a long time. Rudolph and others quickly discussed the plan to make sure nothing went wrong.

Seacombe's so-called anti-submarine killer feature refers to a new type of anti-submarine aircraft, namely the Junker-CK110 anti-submarine patrol aircraft.

At the beginning of World War I and World War II, air anti-submarine warfare relied primarily on searching for submarines with the naked eye from aircraft. Anti-submarine patrol aircraft mainly refer to the PK-1C seaplane of the Imperial Chinese Naval Aviation, as well as derivative and copycat versions of the aircraft that evolved after being exported to the naval aviation of various countries, all of which are small aircraft, and even various airships. Anti-submarine weapons are also limited to guns, depth charges, etc. Of course, even if the plane has defensive weapons, it is not completely possible to avoid wrecks.

During the war, submarines needed to surface at night to recharge the consumed batteries. Anti-submarine aircraft, acting at night, attack submarines with the help of searchlights, flashing signals and radar systems. This approach only works in the short term.

Soon, submarines of the Imperial Chinese Navy began to use electromagnetic sensors to detect the position of radars and use snorkels so that the hull was exposed to a minimum. Nowhere is this more evident than on the Song-class submarines.

When the Imperial Chinese Navy dispatched Song-class submarines to attack the merchant ships and warships of the Central Powers, causing huge losses to the Allies, the German Navy was unable to cope with it, because they were simply unable to detect the Song-class submarines of the Chinese Empire with sonar systems. This is because the German Navy's sonar equipment itself is backward, coupled with the advanced noise reduction technology used by the Song-class submarines of the Imperial Chinese Navy, and the propeller noise is close to the noise of the ocean, which makes it difficult to distinguish the German Navy's anti-submarine sonar.

With the continuous progress of German radar technology, when the sonar could not distinguish the Song-class submarine, German experts invented a new type of detection equipment, that is, the installation of advanced anti-submarine sensors on the German Junkers reconnaissance aircraft, including magnetic anomaly detectors and sonar buoys. The planes were also painted in various camouflage colors in order to avoid the danger of being discovered by enemy submarines, aircraft, warships and shore-based forces. (To be continued.)
