--Gibraltar

Seeing that he had finally arrived in the Strait of Gibraltar, James Somerville let out a long breath and said to John Tovey, who was writing a report, "Your Excellency, we have entered the Strait of Gibraltar, according to the telegram, it is still safe here, and the Italian fleet has not been dispatched. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

John Tovey put down his pen and sighed and said, "I am a sinner in our empire, I never thought that this would be the result, three battleships and four aircraft carriers... The entire situation in the oceans could be changed by this war. ”

James Somerville shook his head and said, "I've been staying here for a long time, and I know very well how powerful those Seawolf submarines are, our aircraft carrier doesn't have much defense, and it's not the first time it has sunk under the siege of Seawolves." ”

"Boom!!" "Woooooooooooo

Suddenly, a loud explosion and a piercing siren sounded almost simultaneously, and John Tovey immediately stood up and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

James Somerville simply walked out, he was the captain of this battleship, and after a while, he came in and said, "Your Excellency, there are submarines!" Two destroyers were blown up in front of us! Damn, aren't these guys going to let us go back? ”

John Tovey hurriedly went out with him to check the situation, the sea was calm and calm, as if nothing had happened, but everyone knew that there were many hungry wolves lurking under the calm seabed.

"In what direction are the fish being shot from? What is the distance? John Tovey asked.

"The direction of the three points, the distance is not known, when we found the torpedo, the torpedo was already less than seven hundred meters." Immediately a sailor replied.

"This strait is not wide, it is a disadvantage for us, no one knows how many German submarines are underneath, I think it is better to keep dropping depth charges to threaten the other side." James Somerville said.

"I think it's okay, but speed up and get out of this dangerous area quickly! We have suffered too much under the submariners this time, and we must inform Congress when we go back, and we must pay attention to this issue! John Tovey said worriedly, only when he was fighting would he understand how terrifying these unseen Assassins were.

"Torpedo!! Torpedo!! Torpedoes everywhere!! A shrill cry sounded from the watchtower above, and John Tovey hurriedly climbed upstairs to the watchtower and looked at it with a telescope, which suddenly made his face turn pale, and he saw that in the clear water, there were 24 torpedoes coming towards his fleet from four directions, and in each direction there were six volleys.

"Quick! Get out of the way, FUCK! Shoot depth charges around the place where the torpedo was fired! Don't let them go! "James Somerville is so angry, he just said that he had entered the security field, and he was slapped in the face like this, he really didn't take himself seriously.

"Torpedo! Torpedo!! There are torpedoes behind us! There was another shout, and everyone hurriedly looked back, and sure enough, it was another salvo of 24 torpedoes, and the fleet was actually surrounded by submarines!

"Fleet A deals with the submarines behind, each ship pays attention to the distance between each other, so as not to collide, damn the Germans, how can there be so many submarines?" John Tovey said incomprehensibly.

Although the ships were maneuvering and desperately firing at the torpedoes, hoping to explode the torpedoes, the probability was too small, and finally four destroyers sank, and one cruiser was seriously injured, and the most terrible thing was that these torpedoes were actually aimed at the three battleships surrounded in the middle, the Duke of York dodged with his good mobility, and the Resolve was hit by a torpedo in the abdomen, and a large mouth of seven or eight meters instantly poured in countless seawater, fortunately, it was not far from the port, and the British army wasted all their strength, Finally pulled him to the port of Gibraltar, but he could only run aground in the port, unable to move, and became a fixed turret-like existence, Gibraltar as a fortress, but there was no industrial force enough to repair the battleship.

The last battleship to sink in the Battle of the East Atlantic was a German submarine, which was sunk to the bottom of the sea by the mad British depth charges, which also drew a complete end to the two-day naval battle.

In this battle, Britain, Germany, France and Italy all had warships dispatched, and the Italian army did not directly participate in the war, and the three sides also dispatched hundreds of warships of various types, of which the British lost four aircraft carriers, three battleships, one battleship was seriously damaged, and even lost three heavy cruisers, two light cruisers, thirteen destroyers, and four tankers and other ships. More than 7,000 people were killed in battle. More than ten ships were wounded, and two battleships in the German and French armies were seriously injured and had to be repaired, two were slightly damaged, two cruisers and eight destroyers were lost, and seven submarines were sunk, and about 1,500 people were lost.

The corners of Hitler's mouth were curved all day today, and he kept greeting people on the road, and when he saw Goering in his office, he opened his arms and smiled: "Oh, my marshal, your air force has done a good job this time, and I am satisfied!" ”

Goering smiled and saluted and said, "My Führer, as I said, the Navy does not need airplanes, and the problems in the sky, our Air Force can solve them, not the problems in the sky, we can also find a way to solve them." ”

Hitler nodded and said, "Well, what you said is very good, then I hope that in the next battle, your air force can continue to perform like this, by the way, I think it is appropriate to increase the funding for the development of jet aircraft that you said last time, and I will sign your report to you later." ”

Goering thanked him with joy: "Thank you, Führer, we have won such a big victory, we should publicize it well." ”

Hitler laughed and said, "Yes! It's to do a good job, I've asked Goebbels to come to the meeting, we want the whole world to know that the glory of our German Empire is not only in the sky and land, but also in the sea, by the way, Dönitz also did a good job, and gave them a hard win in Gibraltar, and I want to reward them well, I am so happy today, maybe we should prepare a victory ball to welcome the soldiers who are about to return. ”

Goering hurriedly pandered, "As you wish, but in this case, do we want to slow down the East?" ”

A hint of cunning flashed in Hitler's eyes and he said, "No, I'm sure our Soviet friends would not have thought of our plans, oh, by the way, Goebbels should have announced that we were ready to make another attempt to land in Britain, well.... Let's put the time after the Battle of Gibraltar. By the way, what's going on over there? ”

Goering replied, "In Jiang's words, let's call it a turtle in an urn, they are already surrounded by us, and I believe that it will not be long before we will sink four battleships over there in the harbor." ”

Hitler nodded and said, "You can think more about this, for example, in this naval report, Stuka brought torpedoes to the battleship's effect very well." ”

Goering listened to a stirring in his heart, this navy didn't want Stuka to be equipped with torpedoes on the aircraft carrier, he hurriedly said, "Yes, Führer, please believe me, the air force is enough to deal with air problems in any direction." ”

Hitler smiled and said, "Very well, then we will have a meeting together to discuss foreign propaganda and the affairs of the East." ”

"This is a victory for the battleships! This means that the future is still the era of battleships, and the aircraft carrier is really vulnerable! "In the Admiralty, a group of people are arguing, the result of the naval battle in the East Atlantic has not only changed the world situation, but also a shock to the naval community, doubts about aircraft carriers are surging again, who is the future of the world between battleships and aircraft carriers, and it seems that aircraft carriers are completely at a disadvantage in this naval battle.

Yamamoto Fifty-six listened to the discussion of these people, shook his head and closed the door, walked into the room, and asked Shigetaro Shimada, who was sitting, "Your Excellency, do you have any advice?" ”

Shigetaro Shimada saw that it was Yamamoto Fifty-six, stood up and laughed, "Oh, my Yamamoto-kun, why are you unhappy, did you hear the questions of the people below about the aircraft carrier?" ”

Yamamoto fifty-six nodded and said, "I still insist that aircraft carriers are the direction of future naval warfare, this time because the German submarines are so powerful, and there is no way for countries to find their submarines until now, in front of such submarines, there is not much difference between aircraft carriers and battleships." ”

Shigetaro Shigetaro handed Yamamoto fifty-six a cigarette and said, "You are still so persuasive, this morning there was a meeting in front of the Imperial Court, and the main thing was to talk about the Navy, do you want to know what we talked about?" ”

Yamamoto Fifty-six smiled and said, "Do you want to make a bet with me?" ”

Shigetaro Shimada immediately waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I don't want to be with a person who is blacklisted by the casino, you know, how much the empire's economy has been hit during this time, right?" ”

Yamamoto Isoroku nodded and said, "Well, the empire's foreign exchange savings are said to have been emptied, and now the yen is almost useless overseas." ”

Shigetaro Shigetaro sighed, "So it's not that we want to start a war, but we were forced by Europe and the United States to embark on this road, your plan has been passed, and there are about three months left, so you have to prepare as soon as possible." ”

Yamamoto Fifty-six didn't have a smile on his face, but said with a wry smile, "Really? The Cabinet has finally decided to use my plan! I don't really want the Empire to approve my plan at all.... Well, after all, we've been preparing, and I'll do my best to win. By the way, is the idea of the Stumped Empire about the Navy to take aircraft carriers as the core in the future? ”

Shigetaro Shimada shook his head and said, "I know what you're thinking, the Yamato and Musashi are battleships that have already been launched, and it's impossible to give up, not only that, but the empire thinks that the era of battleships has not passed through this naval battle, and has decided to start the 04 ship replenishment plan, that is, two Yamato-class battleships are under construction, or an improved version." ”

Yamamoto Isoroku said angrily, "This is a crime against the Empire!" I will prove with my planes and aircraft carriers that the battleships are completely obsolete! Trust me, don't get started so quickly. ”

Shigetaro Shimada was extremely embarrassed and said, "If you can do it, go and give it a try." ”

Yamamoto Isoroku immediately bowed and took his leave, he could not bear the fact that the Japanese Empire continued to go down the wrong course.

"There is so much to be told about another great victory for the Axis powers, and for the defeat of the British navy, and the defeat of the German and French navies together." Beria said to Stalin, who was smoking a pipe, "Comrade Stalin, we judge that the Strait of Gibraltar will fall within a month, and at that time, the British Mediterranean H Fleet gathered in the fortress of Gibraltar will most likely also be defeated by the Axis powers. However, if they break through, they can also find a way to the Atlantic or Egypt. ”

Stalin knocked his pipe and said, "Is there any news from the German side that such a victory has been achieved?" ”

Beria replied, "Germany is celebrating in a big way, and announced that it will launch another landing operation against Britain in the near future, and at the same time called on the British to revolt to overthrow the Churchill government that insisted on fighting, and the military upward has increased the attack on the Gibraltar fortress, and their airfield has been changing frequently recently, probably preparing to use the air force to fight the Gibraltar fortress and the H fleet for the last battle." ”

Stalin nodded and said, "This is a good thing, if you say this, Germany will not immediately turn its attention to us, which gives us more time to prepare, which is good, but we must also pay attention to the submarine combat effectiveness shown by the German army this time, and our scientific department should increase research in this area, okay, let's discuss the upcoming Labor Day, this military parade must deter both Germany and Japan, so there must be no mistakes!" But we can't completely expose our strength...."

When the results of the Battle of the Atlantic reached Washington, Roosevelt was taken aback by the tragic news, and he asked in disbelief, "Has this news been confirmed?" This will change the whole situation in Europe! ”

Hull nodded and said, "I have confirmed with the ambassador of the British Empire, although he is hesitant, he has not denied it, and Nazi Germany will never dare to cheat on such a thing, after all, there is no benefit, it is foreseeable that the fortress of Gibraltar will definitely fall because of this naval battle, because Britain can no longer organize a navy of such strength." ”

Roosevelt nodded and asked, "Has the Admiralty analyzed this naval battle?" Britain lost four aircraft carriers, four battleships, and even the British heritage was broken! ”

"We believe that the main reason is that because of the sudden cooperation of German submarines and the Luftwaffe with the navy, the British have no good way to take German submarines, and now their sonar is difficult to find those hungry wolves in the sea, these submarines have been ambushed in the East Atlantic Ocean very early, and the Germans should have judged in advance that the British army will be reinforced by sea, originally because the submarines are too slow, it is impossible to catch up with the fleet and launch an attack, so we guess that the German army has used at least hundreds of submarines scattered in the East Atlantic, Only in this way can we achieve an encirclement attack on the British aircraft carrier formation. As for why Goering helped the Navy, we don't understand either.," said Chief of Staff Marshall.
