Chapter 325 The soldiers are divided into two ways

On 25 July, the German strike fleet, which had entered the Atlantic, was cruising about 700 kilometres north of Ireland. At noon that day, they and the two pocket battleships that had entered the Atlantic since the beginning of the month to break the diplomatic battle returned from a round.

The two pocket battleships that returned home brought back four British freighters, which were the spoils of their more than 20 days of safari operations, and five British freighters were sunk by German warships in pursuit.

The captured freighters were received by the marines on board Hannah, who were then escorted by four destroyers back to Germany along the Faro-Iceland waterway. After the end of the French campaign, the German navy intensified its naval blockade of the British. In this unfinished month, the British lost more than 600,000 tons of cargo ships in the Atlantic, about one-fifth of which were captured by the German navy, and the oil, grain, refined non-ferrous metals, aluminum ingots, and other strategic materials carried on board became German war trophies. And since the British Navy was no longer able to block the North Atlantic shipping routes, there were now a number of American cargo ships quietly smuggling supplies into the German-controlled zone through the North Atlantic - for the sake of safety and to avoid domestic troubles and British "protests", these American cargo ships usually terminated in the Netherlands to unload their cargo, and then transshipped to Germany by the "neutral country" Holland. The main reason for this is that the official "anti-German tendencies" in the United States are becoming more and more severe.

The so-called head-killing. There are people doing business, but no one doing loss-making business. Shipping to the UK can be more profitable, but this route is risky. In contrast, it is much safer to ship goods to the Netherlands, a "neutral country". Even if you encounter an inspection by the British Navy on the road, it is easy to pass under the pretext that this is a delivery of supplies to the UK. Besides, now the British Navy has suffered heavy losses, and its sense of survival in the Atlantic is extremely poor. In particular, their influence in the high latitudes of the North Atlantic is almost nil.

After more than 20 days of activity, more than half of the fuel and supplies of the two pocket battleships that had made a sortie in early July had been consumed. After rendezvous with Hannah's main fleet, they received resupply operations directly at sea.

In this sortie, Hannah brought with her, in addition to a bunch of capital ships, six supply ships and two frigates. Since the balance of power of the British and German navies in the Atlantic has been reversed. The German navy now dared to resupply the Atlantic with great generosity, without fear of being attacked by the sudden appearance of the British fleet.

On the bridge of the flagship battleship Scharnhorst, Hannah looked at the two pocket battleships that were being resupplied from afar, and there was a look of concentration on her face, as if she was sensing something. Raeder, on the other hand, stood respectfully behind her and did not dare to make a sound, and there were more than a dozen officers of the German Navy on the bridge, and everyone looked at Hannah with admiration in their eyes.

Today, Hannah is no longer secretive when she moves on the ships of the German Navy. Rather, they openly claim to be "gods" and act as "gods" at the same time. Today, she has completely controlled the minds of the officers and men of this fleet, and if she gives an order, all the soldiers in the fleet will die for her without hesitation.

After a long time, Raeder, who was already a marshal, asked him in a low voice, "Is that lord almost here?" ”

"About 150 kilometers away, call the radioman to send a telegram and tell his pilot to deflect the plane fifteen degrees to the southeast."

Twenty minutes later, a telegram was sent from the ship's radar crew. Saying that a large target was approaching in the northwest, Raeder gave instructions based on Hannah. The air defense forces of the ships ordered not to panic, this is their own aircraft. At the same time, two HE112 fighters took off from the aircraft carrier Zeppelin, and according to the instructions of the radar crew of the maritime fleet, they went to rendezvous with this aircraft to escort the escort.

After another ten minutes, a twin-engine Boeing plane appeared over the fleet. It was accompanied by a HE112 on the left and right sides of the escort.

This Boeing airliner is a private transatlantic airliner produced by Boeing, with a two-seater, four-seat crew and a seaplane with huge pontoons hanging under the belly.

The seaplane eventually landed in the ocean near the Scharnhorst. A nearby destroyer immediately approached him, lowered the transport speedboat and picked up a passenger from the ship. The destroyer then lowered a fuel hose to fill up the sealiner with fuel, and then took off from the water and flew to Iceland, a "neutral country" in the north, where it repaired for a few days before returning to the United States.

The passengers who got off the seaplane were none other than the famous German football goalkeeper "Zoff. Klinsmann", and his real identity is none other than Lin Han.

When the German fleet made an attack from Oslo on 20 July, Hayashi Hanyashi, who was hiding in Hiroshima, Japan, received a telegram from Germany through a secret channel.

The Yamato, which had returned from Singapore, was no longer in the dry dock in Wuhai, but was docked at the local outfitting dock for final modifications.

After Lin Han left China in early July and infiltrated Hiroshima, Japan, he first merged with Li Huamei and Katyusha, and the three of them joined forces to carry out the final "magic reform" of the battleship Yamato.

The main thing to do is to enhance the compressive strength of the gun barrel of the Yamato, so that it can withstand greater pressure and launch a more powerful "heavy bomb", in addition to the most thorough "integration" project of the Yamato's hull.

After the trip to Singapore, the super-battleship Yamato has become famous all over the world. Although it has not fired a single bullet or sunk a single ship, it is not as successful as the Shane sisters, but with its more than 64,000 bodies and 460 mm guns, it is recognized as the strongest battleship in the world.

In the two months after the "identity exposure" of the Yamato and Musashi ships, Li Huamei and Katyusha, who were on the Yamato, absorbed countless powers of faith these days, and their abilities were further enhanced. When the two of them are combined on the Yamato, they already have about ninety percent of the abilities of Lin Han or Hannah.

At that time, Lin Han and the three of them had completed the final magic reform of the Yamato. When he received the telegram, Lin Han was holding his two daughters, Hu Tianhudi, in a secret cabin on the Yamato.

According to the plan of the Japanese, on 1 August, the Yamato will sail to Tokyo Bay to officially unveil to the Japanese people, and a grand commissioning ceremony will be held throughout Japan. And then it will also be the time for "Yamato Nadeshiko", the patron saint of Japan, to officially appear as a "god".

Lin Han wanted to stay until the end of the ceremony on August 1 before leaving Japan, but was called by a telegram from Hannah. In the telegram, Hannah told SΓΉ Linhan that if the German navy could once again annihilate the British navy, the British would no longer be able to sustain themselves after the war. The three total annihilations of the Navy at the hands of Churchill would limit the patience of the British people with Churchill. At that time, Churchill, a die-hard anti-German element, would have to be ousted from power in humiliation.

Lin Han, a bad taster who likes to smash history and just wants to see a different history, wants to know one thing: once the war between Britain and Germany ends prematurely, and the Americans lose the excuse to get involved in the war in Europe, how will world history go?

That's interesting in itself.

After receiving Hannah's telegram, Lin Han said goodbye to Li Huamei and Katyusha, and then took Zov. Klinsmann's identity departed from Japan on a special plane and flew to the United States. He then flew again in the United States from the West Coast to New York on the East Coast, where he crossed the Atlantic in a sealiner and finally met Hannah at sea. The main reason for not taking the Asian route is that there is a part of the road in between that that will pass through the Soviet-controlled zone.

When Lin Han returned to China, for the sake of secrecy, he deliberately did not notify the Chinese side in advance, and did not reveal his identity until after landing in Xinjiang. Because Lin Han knew very well that within the CCP, there were many pro-Soviet people, and God knows if someone would leak his whereabouts to Stalin. Even if it was unlikely, he didn't want to take the risk. If he returned to Germany on the Asian route, he would have been in contact with the Chinese side, and for the sake of safety, he would rather take the route across the Pacific and Atlantic.

Lin Han's identity in the eyes of the German military is the "other side" of being on an equal footing with Lord "Gabriel". After boarding the Scharnhorst, in the ship's flagship, he deliberately merged with Hannah in front of a group of high-ranking naval officers, and changed to the initial state of "helping him".

After the two merged, Lin Han immediately knew Hannah's battle plan for this trip, and also understood why she hurriedly asked him to cross half the world to rush back.

He smiled at Hannah with his thoughts:

"Multi-pronged, you don't give the British a way out!"

According to the battle plan drawn up by the German naval staff, the German navy entering the Atlantic was to be divided into two fleets and move separately.

A fleet of two battleships, two Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers, and six anti-aircraft cruisers under the command of Hannah was to head south and ambush the shipping lanes between the British Isles and the Strait of Gibraltar, waiting for the British fleet attacking the French fleet to return to attack.

Linhan, on the other hand, will continue to operate in the Atlantic with two pocket battleships and two escort aircraft carriers, plus four destroyers, to create the illusion that the main German fleet is still breaking diplomatic relations in the Atlantic. Hannah hides in the shadows and sets up an ambush, while Lin Han makes a high-profile move.

At present, there are escort aircraft carriers in the British fleet, and the existence of escort aircraft carriers has brought a lot of trouble to the German surface fleet and submarine forces. The two pocket battleships have achieved average results in the past 20 days or so, that is, because they were suppressed by the escort aircraft carriers, they could only attack small boat groups and missed a large ship group with aircraft carriers, the reason is that considering the threat of aircraft carriers, Lin Han's task is to defeat these escort aircraft carriers.
