In this case, the situation facing Britain is very serious, and what makes Churchill even more headache is that due to the continuous failures since taking office, his prestige at home has fallen to the lowest point, although because of the Luftwaffe bombing of Britain aroused the common hatred of the British people, and the compromiseist argument has been difficult to find a market in Britain. Richard. Many important figures represented by Attlee began to openly question Churchill's leadership ability, and Attlee even proposed that "if he can't bring victory to Britain, then he should be replaced by a more capable person!" Trying to pass an impeachment proposal in parliament to force Churchill to step down early.

Under these circumstances, Churchill urgently needed a victory to boost his prestige, and this time the German battleship "Tirpitz" went deep into the British coastal waters is a perfect opportunity, if it can be sunk, Britain will definitely be excited, even if it fails to kill it, as long as the Faroe Islands are recaptured, it will be an explanation to the people.

And to Britain's advantage, the third ship of the King George V-class battleship, and the first of the three of them, the Duke of York, was completed and put into service not long ago. As a result, although the battleship "Prince of Wales" was not yet fully repaired, the British Navy still had three battleships at disposal: "King George V", "Rodney" and "Duke of York", while the Germans now had only one battleship, "Tirpitz". The British Navy had three enemies and one enemy, and the odds of victory were naturally extremely great. As for the German aircraft on the island, after all, there are only more than 100 of them, as long as they bring enough light warships to protect them, there is no need to worry too much, not to mention that the air defense of the three British battleships themselves is also quite strong

But what the British didn't know was that after the invention of the transistor electronic computer, the Chinese Red Party's already good code decipherment ability improved by leaps and bounds, and some British communication code books were also captured on the battlefield of the Indochina Peninsula for reference, so it was on the eve of the invasion of India. Chinese telecommunications experts have succeeded in deciphering all of the British communication codes. Otherwise, it would be impossible to win so heartily by relying on cloud burst bombs and the Central and Southern Field Army, which was mostly recruits. However, the British army and even the British government at that time were frightened by the terrible power of the cloudburst bomb, and it was not uncommon for the "army to fall like a mountain", so it was not found that there was a problem in this regard.

And in order to make Germany fight the British more painfully in the European theater to relieve the pressure on the Chinese side. Hu Weidong also immediately deciphered the British cipher and its writing rules (after the Germans knew the writing rules. Unless the British also replace the cipher machines that write codes. Otherwise, no matter how often the password is changed, it will be useless. told the Germans, so that the intelligence advantage that the British had historically turned out to be German. And every major British operation could hardly be concealed from the German intelligence services

It is also worth mentioning that since the invention of the electronic computer has been strictly kept secret from the outside world, the mustache assumed that all the credit for deciphering the British code was given to the Chinese intelligence services (when the conditions were very rudimentary, the Red Party's code had never been deciphered, and now that the conditions are good, it is not unusual to go further, so the mustache did not think much about it). and was greatly shaken by it. Although the Germans were proud, they were also a studious people, and after realizing that China's intelligence work was worth learning, the mustache immediately sent people to China for further study, and greatly strengthened the Nazi Party's own intelligence system following the setting of the intelligence agency of the Chinese Red Party, and the army led by Admiral Canaris (yes, it was indeed the army, but the brand of the intelligence agency was inherently irrelevant, so there is nothing surprising. The Intelligence Agency has been marginalized faster than it has historically been

Objectively speaking, Admiral Canaris was an outstanding intelligence expert in the history of World War II and made many contributions to Germany, but because he actually held an anti-Nazi stance (Zuihou was also killed for his involvement in the assassination of the mustache), it was inevitable that the Army Intelligence Directorate under his leadership would contain a large number of people of the same kind, and not everyone could work for Germany wholeheartedly like him, although he was very disgusted with the mustache, Many of them had secret communications with the Allies, and in addition to the decipherment of the telegraph code, German intelligence was frequently leaked throughout history, which was also a very important reason. And now that Canaris has been marginalized early, it is undoubtedly very beneficial to the German secrecy work, and because of this, Canaris did not know that the British code had been deciphered, and the Allied spies in the Army Intelligence Bureau naturally did not know, so the British Admiralty did not realize that the Germans already knew the sailing route of the fleet when they were still assembling the fleet

Because there have been more than one lesson before, this time in order to ensure that this operation is foolproof, the British Admiralty dispatched 6 light cruisers and 15 destroyers in one go, and protected the three battleships so that they could be described as impermeable. The hope of victory was pinned entirely on the two Bismarck-class battleships, which were already regarded as the pride of the Reich in Germany

To the frustration of the British fleet commander, the Germans took advantage of the storm to easily take the Faroe Islands, and the storm had already stopped when he led the fleet to sail, which meant that the airfield on the island could be put into use, although even if more than a hundred planes attacked, with the powerful anti-aircraft fire of this fleet, it would certainly be able to deal with it, but the loss of ships was difficult to avoid, and he did not want to be forced to abandon the operation halfway because a capital ship was damaged by enemy aircraft

But he was glad that the German planes never came, I don't know if it was because the airport was damaged in the German attack and was temporarily unusable, and the seaplanes released before finally found traces of the enemy, "Judging from the tonnage, it is determined that it is the 'Tirpitz' (the British thought that the Bismarck was still under repair, so the only battleship that the German Navy could have with such a large size was her sister ship 'Tirpitz'.) It has sailed out of Tórshavn, and there is a heavy cruise, and it is difficult to tell which of the Hipper-class ships it is" (to be continued......
