The gap in strength cannot be filled by courage and spirit after all. The German navy, though still immature in some respects, holds the direction of the future development of the world's navies, which no other navy has been able to achieve so far.

By the time carrier-based planes mounted huge and slender torpedoes flew to the targets they needed to attack, the Royal Navy, which was in fact left only with battleships and cruisers, had already lost the war. Without the interference of the aircraft, these torpedo planes calmly launched attacks on their own targets, throwing one deadly torpedo after another into the water and rushing towards the enemy ships.

No matter how skilled the technology of dodging torpedoes is, no matter how tight the fire network formed by anti-aircraft artillery, the battleship can still only be in a defensive position, waiting for its own end to come. These warships, under the interference of German naval aviation, could not pursue the German Navy in a straight line, and the German Navy, in turn, could pull the distance between the two sides in a straight line.

Soon after, the battleship Elizabeth was torpedoed to the side and was also forced to reduce its speed, and the fleet of the British Royal Navy had completely lost the capital to attack. Several heavy cruisers had been sunk, and the battleship Nelson had now been reduced to a sea of fire, and the entire fleet had been nearly wiped out, and it was no longer what it had been a few hours earlier.

The naval battle was also remembered in the history of warfare because of an unprecedented statistic: the British Navy lost a total of four admirals in the naval battle, including three commanders-in-chief of the Atlantic Fleet. This is also a naval battle in which the British Navy has lost the most casualties and changed commanders in a single battle in history.

The USS Franklin turned out of the war zone, and the British Navy's battleship USS Nelson was sunk by German fighters about 4 nautical miles south of the Villain. The entire battlefield was littered with the corpses of sailors on both sides, as well as soldiers waiting for rescue. However, the battle was not over yet, and they had to be tortured in the sea until they were unconscious and died in the icy waters.

At 4:33 p.m., the British battleship Queen Elizabeth was sunk by a torpedo projected by German naval aviation. Four minutes later, the Royal Navy detachment began to disperse and flee back to Iceland. Then, at 4:50, the battleship Ramirez was torpedoed.

Dudley Pound, the commander in chief of the Royal Navy, was determined to continue the battle into the night, but until he was killed and the British Royal Navy was almost completely destroyed, the sun still hung in the sky, and it was still a long time before night came.

After the setbacks of the battleship Belouse being sunk and the battleship Marshal Raeder being damaged, the German Navy won the surprise attack without any surprise. From the decipherment of intelligence to the sortie on all fronts, from the beginning of the take-off fighter attack on the enemy fleet, all the way to the final repulsion of the Allied fleet by the German Navy, the German fleet behaved decently and won the victory it deserved.

"Long live the Führer! General! The air force has begun to return home, and the next batch of attacks should be able to sink the only remaining British battleship...... The enemy's small ships have dispersed and retreated, do you want to continue the pursuit?" As the results of the naval battle gradually became clear, the atmosphere in the bridge of the aircraft carrier Reich, the flagship of the German Navy, relaxed a little. When an officer came to report on the battle, he had a clear smile on his face.

Rütjans replied with a casual German salute with his hand, and then issued the order with the same smile: "Further north, it will once again enter the combat radius of the new Allied land-based aircraft...... There's no reason to take any chances, we've already won this naval battle, haven't we?"

"Send a telegram to the Führer to report the good news, and by the way, save the soldiers who fell into the water...... After sinking the British battleship, we will return home!" Marshal Raeder was also in a good mood at this moment, he had just received the news that the battleship named after him, although damaged, continued to fight, and finally hit the enemy ship. He was so happy with the report that he decided to celebrate with a bottle of champagne on the way back.

Before it was completely dark, the German Navy warships received a telegram in clear code, saying that the British government in Iceland was asking Germany to help rescue the Allied soldiers who had fallen into the water, and that they were willing to provide any support for the German humanitarian spirit: they claimed that they would transfer back all their submarines, cancel fighter patrols, and ask the German Navy to rescue all the soldiers who had fallen into the water.

At this time, about 2,600 British soldiers were floating at sea because the battleship was sunk and waiting for rescue to come, and they finally waited for a miracle to happen, German Navy destroyers and cruisers rushed to the battlefield and rescued 17 British sunken battleships including the Villain, Ramirez, Queen Elizabeth, Nelson and the aircraft carrier Ark Royal, 3 heavy cruisers and 4 cruisers.

Thanks to the help of the German Navy, 1,900 out of 2,600 British people were rescued from the overboard, and more than 1,700 out of more than 1,900 German people were rescued.

And the ship's sinking along with it included 17 captains. This also makes this naval battle the most exemplified of the European tradition of naval warfare - according to the unwritten rule that the captain of the battleship should sink with the battleship, and this naval battle of Iceland in the Atlantic is a good illustration of this spirit of fighting to the death without fear.

Among the German rescuers were even some pilots who were shot down by the British, and one pilot miraculously survived, and he himself was shot down at about 10 a.m. He floated at sea with a piece of the wreckage of the plane and waited a day before it was fished up. At that time, he was already dying, and he couldn't even speak clearly.

And this sea area has also become the graveyard of British and German naval battleships, in the small sea area, a total of 5 battleships were sunk, including a Soviet-class, a German-built Villain-class, as well as a Nelson-class, a Queen Elizabeth-class, and an R-class. on these battleships

It became a veritable battleship graveyard, burying the glory of the Royal Navy and ending the British Empire's ability to maintain world supremacy. Since then, the emerging German Navy has stood on the stage of history and has become a real maritime power that people have to pay attention to.

However, although the naval battle was won or lost, and the last trace of Britain's dream of recovering the country was completely cut off, the various strategic materials transported to Iceland still arrived safely at their destinations, the Icelandic airfields were regained their previous vitality, and a daytime bombing program against Norway was put into operation at the fastest speed.

A formation of hundreds of bombers and long-range twin-fuselage fighters took off from Greenland and flew to Iceland, where they stopped to refuel and immediately flew to Norway to destroy Norway's Third Reich iron ore production base.

While these planes were flying to Iceland, Roosevelt also began to receive various intensive care from his hospital bed, accompanied by more than five doctors and nurses 24 hours a day. This old man, who has always insisted that the United States must fight to the end, is using his amazing perseverance to race against the disease and fight for the hope of final victory for the United States.

A full 310 bombers and 110 fighter planes, after stopping in Iceland to refuel, will continue to take off non-stop to bomb various factories and facilities in Norway. This plan, although worried all the top brass of the U.S. Army Air Corps, was eventually implemented because of the president's insistence. How many of these bombers will be able to return to the base in the end, only God knows.

"My Führer! The naval telegram I just received! Field Marshal Raeder and General Lutjens won the naval battle, sinking four British battleships and the aircraft carrier Ark Royal!" a naval officer handed the telegram to Accardo, then stood upright and said to his Führer: "We have won! Führer! The Atlantic barrier is now impregnable, and our western front is completely secure!"

"yes...... We have finally eradicated the great problem of henchmen...... If it weren't for the fact that we had deciphered the enemy's code, we don't know how long it would have been delayed to completely solve the thorny problem of the British government-in-exile. Accardo took off his glasses and nodded in reply.

Recently, he had some problems with his eyes because he stayed up late to approve various documents, and finally the doctor diagnosed that the Führer's eyes were short-sighted, and he was prescribed a pair of 200-degree myopic glasses. It is not worn on weekdays, and it is worn when reading books and newspapers to prevent further aggravation of myopia.

As soon as the head of the Navy left the Führer's office, the head of the army's intelligence service, Gascole, walked into Accardo's office. He stood upright, raised his hand and saluted a standard Great German salute before he spoke: "My Führer! According to the plan, the secret weapon codenamed 'Teutonic Knights' has arrived in the Saharan region of Africa, and you have arranged for the sending of invitations, let me consult you before proceeding." ”

"Ah, well! I see! Send invitations to all the countries with which we have diplomatic relations, and if possible, some American journalists, and I would like to present a gift to President Roosevelt." When Accardo heard the news, he became very excited. This time, he was the initiator of the development of the atomic bomb, a German strategic weapon, and the successful completion of the nuclear weapons program really made Accardo very happy.

The Führer of the Third Reich stood up and smiled and instructed Gascoll: "Prepare a special train to Italy, and we will also go to Africa!"
