Japan's joint fleet suffered heavy losses. Yamamoto, the temporary general of the base camp, took office again, preparing to carry out a desperate struggle with the Japanese Navy, which lost its air supremacy. Net is worth your collection.. Just as the German Navy bravely marched into the ocean, the Japanese Navy was driven back to its hometown in the middle of the ocean.
After being strengthened by the 232 division, general Yamashita deployed a complete combat plan in Malaysia. He learned from the lesson that Japanese troops were crushed on the beach by the U.S. Navy and air force in the previous island battle, and deployed the main force in the core of the island. His plan is to fight back against American troops in the jungle and mountains.
Unfortunately, he and the Japanese leaders underestimated the losses of the US Navy in recent naval battles. As a result, while Fengwen Yamashita was waiting for the US Marines, in fact, the US Navy had returned to Pearl Harbor, while the Marines were repairing in nearby islands and Australia. Precious time passed like this, the Japanese were waiting for the United Fleet to recover, and the Americans were waiting for their new aircraft carrier to serve.
Of course, there are people in the world who don't have to wait, or the waiting time has passed. On the third day when the Japanese Navy severely damaged the US Navy, lutjans led his own terrible aircraft carrier fleet and set out from the port of William. He wanted to lead the fleet around the North Sea and carry out an air attack on Iceland.
Compared with the Japanese US naval battle, the German Navy's family background is obviously not as strong as it seems. Although the German Navy's achievements in the Atlantic are no less than those in the Pacific, it is still difficult to hide the shortage of the main warships of the German Navy. This time, lutjans led the main force of the high seas fleet of the German Navy, with only three aircraft carriers.
After the last voyage, the aircraft carrier Bismarck was sent to the shipyard for overhaul, and the aircraft carrier tilbitz was also undergoing modern refitting. Lutjans had to change his flagship to the aircraft carrier Empire, carrying the oldest Zeppelin and Prussia to the direction of Iceland.
Recently, lutjans is happy and worried. His fleet will no longer be unable to sail because of the shortage of fuel, which makes him happy. He even put forward various plans for a decisive battle with the British navy, hoping to complete his dream of defeating the British Royal Navy and making the German Navy number one in the world. But when the German intelligence confirmed the ship building plan being carried out by the US Navy, he, the commander of the high seas fleet of the German Navy, immediately fell into a gloomy situation.
A message from the army intelligence department shows that the US Navy is building 10 Essex class aircraft carriers at the same time. Four of these aircraft carriers have adopted special bow design, which is obviously prepared for the Atlantic sea conditions. The German naval command, which had obtained this information, was completely shocked by the powerful industrial manufacturing capacity of the United States. Only at this time did they realize that it was not enough to defeat the Royal Navy if they wanted to become the world's first navy.
Who would have thought that when the United States began to enter a state of war, it had the ability to produce thousands of tanks, nearly 10000 planes and nearly 100 ships at the same time. These weapons and equipment are even more than the US weapons destroyed by Germany, which inevitably makes people who know this situation feel pessimistic.
At this time, we all remember why the head of state insisted on fighting a landing war in Britain after attacking France, biting his teeth and carrying the pressure of huge losses, regardless of the pressure of the Soviet soldiers. If it had not destroyed the British mainland, now Germany might have been submerged in the sea of American made aircraft and artillery.
"Even if we have 3000 Ace Pilots, we can't withstand such terrible consumption." This is a solemn remark made by the air force commander, marshal Catherine, after seeing the total number of US aircraft production. He even pessimistically believes that even now, the German air force can barely compete with the United States. If it wants to maintain its advantage, it will have to add at least 2000 fighters and 4000 bombers.
Lutjans took a look at the other side of the harbor, the carrier dragon and the carrier brucher, and then with the carrier moving, he finally withdrew his eyes. Now he has only seven aircraft carriers with all his money in hand, and the Americans, not counting those who have been sunk, are looking to have more than 10 aircraft carriers - this naval resource contest is really a rhythm of people competing with people and killing people.
Unfortunately, he did not know that in history, lutjans had only one pathetic battleship in his hand. Without even seeing the US aircraft carrier fleet, he was besieged and intercepted by the Royal Navy of the British Empire. With luck, lutjans was lucky enough to replace the British HMS Hood Battlecruiser, and then he was wiped out in the Atlantic Ocean in a few days.
Now he has seven aircraft carriers in his hands that can be used for combat, and his head of state has made every effort to buy as many assets as possible for him. Germany is not a natural country with rich resources in the two ocean islands like the United States. It is impossible to give priority to the development of the Navy and air force without the army. This has doomed Germany to pursue the principle of Grand Army like China. The army will always occupy an important position of priority development.
This time, lutjans did not even have the field marshal Ryder with him. After shelling Iceland, the warship did not return to Germany. Instead, it was ordered to go to northern England for a friendly visit. After replenishing fuel in Liverpool, it went south to zhibuluotuo for maintenance. The German Navy is trying to adapt itself to the new role of the global Navy, which inevitably leads to the disadvantage of dispersion of forces. However, at present, the German Navy has no natural enemies in the Atlantic Ocean, so this degree of dispersion of forces is still beyond the tolerance of the German high-level.
"Turn on the radar of the destroyer unit and search the nearby waters." After watching his fleet leave the port of William, lutjans gave the first battle order for this voyage. The carrier based reconnaissance aircraft of naval aviation was ready to stop on the deck waiting for take-off, and could rush into the sky at any time. As soon as the whole fleet was normal, it was not long before it set out at a speed of more than 20 knots. The Navy's voyage is not so much burning oil as burning money, which is more vivid. Tens of thousands of tons of heavy oil will be consumed every now and then. If the oil is changed into gasoline and diesel, it can be consumed by a tank army for several weeks. In addition to equipment wear and maintenance, ammunition consumption and personnel consumption - compared with the army and air force, the navy can be regarded as a real luxury consumption. Just on the aircraft carrier Empire, where lutjans is based, in the huge canteen, more than 1600 breakfasts are prepared before 7 o'clock every day, and then the same amount of lunch is prepared before 12 o'clock - if there is a combat mission, the time may be even tighter. The whole warship is made of tens of thousands of tons of steel. Every weld and rivet must be inspected every day. This is not a war with the enemy, but a contest with ourselves“ Take off the anti submarine helicopter, patrol the nearby sea area... Let the patrol plane take off, guard the nearby airspace... Seize the time to train, it's not easy to set sail once! " Lutjans continued, looking at the officers of the various departments on the busy bridge. On the surface, the tight oil reserves of the Navy seem to have been alleviated, but the shortage of oil in Germany is only partially alleviated. In his wartime economic development report, the head of state made a promise to take the lead in abolishing fuel consumption restrictions in such core cities as Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich, Paris, Rotterdam and Warsaw. While this move was applauded by the civilians, it suddenly increased Germany's fuel consumption by 3 million more civilian motor vehicles to a new level. The military is very dissatisfied with the measure of canceling the oil restriction order, because it makes the German oil reserves still have no more oil reserves after Libya's oil fields expand production capacity. Goodrian even wrote to ask akado why he wanted to dismantle the military at such a time. However, after akado's reply, he never mentioned the topic of national policy on oil. In fact, akkado was also helpless. He had to give at least a part of the war dividend to the people in order to have the courage to reconcile the various domestic conflicts brought about by the war in Germany. He and his propaganda department have been preaching the benefits of war, but those who believe in the head of state need to see those benefits with their own eyes. With the war going on, akado has actually lifted the ban on many restricted industries. The first is the most important food industry. When the German army invaded Ukraine, akado liberated his wartime restrictions on food trade. At that time, the German side was also dissatisfied for a while, but then the stable food prices and the voice of domestic support for the head of state rose, and the cancellation of the restriction achieved good results. After that, acardo once again played this trick. He later cancelled the alcohol restriction and allowed Germany and France to sell all kinds of fine wines on the weekend. This move once again made the third empire boiling. It seemed that the war was getting farther and farther away from them, and a better life seemed to have begun. The bolder akado then allocated 20 percent of steel production to entrepreneurs to produce more civilian products. This is also the fundamental reason why Linus can control part of Norwegian iron ore later. Although the process is a little unpleasant, akado still feels that this means of taking from the people and from the people can win more support from the German people. So this time, he started the same reform in oil
