"The German home fleet has already been dispatched, plus their Atlantic Fleet, there are a total of 16 capital ships. This is not a small test for us." Said Lieutenant General Henry Wilson, Chief of Staff of the Atlantic Fleet of the US Navy .
Henry? Admiral Mayo nodded, he had to admit that the German navy is very powerful. But, by this time, backing down was clearly out of the question.
"We only have 11 capital ships, which is five fewer than the Germans' home fleet and Atlantic Fleet combined. In terms of the performance of the warships, there should be no difference between us and the Germans. In other words, the gap is not large. It will be too big. Therefore, our chances of winning this battle will not be too great. But even so, we cannot retreat, we need to find ways to win the job. If we retreat and escape, then, landing in Asia Brothers on the Sores, it will be miserable. The Germans will use naval guns to tear them all to pieces. On the other hand, if we can defeat the German navy, or at least hold it down, then Azov The brothers on the Isle of Wales can use the weapons in their hands to make the Germans pay a heavy price." Admiral Henry Mayo said,
Lieutenant General Henry Wilson nodded. Indeed, this time their task is to protect the troops who landed in the Azores. In other words, it is to cooperate with the Marine Corps to defend the Azores and thwart the German attempt to retake the islands. If the German Navy can be defeated, then their task will naturally be completed very well. But if the German Navy cannot be defeated, then they can only think of other ways.
"It would be great if the German fleet could be dispersed. In this case, we will have the opportunity to gather superior forces and defeat them in one fell swoop." Lieutenant General Henry Wilson said.
"This is undoubtedly very difficult. I hope God can bless us!" Admiral Henry Mayo said. He didn't have much confidence in it. As long as the Germans are not fools, it is impossible to disperse the fleet. After all, the strength of the US Navy's 11 capital ships is enough to eat any scattered German fleet.
It is still Admiral Hipper, commander of the local fleet, who is in charge of commanding the German Navy's operation this time. However, this time they did not form a joint fleet, but went their own way. It's just that the Atlantic Fleet is temporarily under the control of Admiral Hipper. Similarly, the aircraft carrier fleet more than 100 kilometers behind the main force of the fleet is also not something that Admiral Hipper can command. Although the aircraft carrier fleet will participate in the entire battle, it will also assist the fleet to defeat the Americans. However, the aircraft carrier formation has a lot of autonomy.
On the battleship Kaiser, the flagship of the home fleet, the top brass of the German Navy are discussing combat deployment.
"Everyone, according to the information obtained so far, the American fleet is operating in the waters around the Azores. The purpose of their stay is also very simple. First, it is to fight a decisive battle with the Imperial Navy. If they win , then the empire may not be able to prevent them from occupying the Azores. The second is to provide protection for the US Marines landing on the Azores. After all, if they leave, we will use only powerful naval guns , will be able to make those Americans who landed in the Azores pay a heavy price." Admiral Hipper said.
"General, this is a good opportunity for us! If we can seize this opportunity and severely damage or even wipe out the main fleet of the US Navy in one fell swoop, then the Americans will be in the Atlantic Ocean for a long time. Unable to challenge the hegemony of the empire," said Vice Admiral Burdick, commander of the Atlantic Fleet.
As the strength of the US Navy becomes stronger and stronger, the pressure faced by the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet can be imagined. If the U.S. fleet can cry loudly, the pressure on the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet will naturally cease to exist. For the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet, this is undoubtedly very eager to appear.
"General Burdick, don't worry, your wish will come true. His Majesty the Emperor has ordered us to get rid of the U.S. Navy. If all goes well, we will go to the east coast of the United States and destroy their shipyards. A severe blow to their shipbuilding industry. Therefore, solving the U.S. Navy is just the first step." Lieutenant General Richter Fels, chief of staff of the local fleet, said.
The other generals couldn't help laughing. In their view, it is still very possible for the German Navy to achieve such a strategic goal. In that case, the German Navy will once again win a big victory, thereby consolidating its maritime supremacy.
"General Holzendorf, if we draw out the main fleet of the Americans, then, does the aircraft carrier fleet have the strength to completely defeat them?" Admiral Hipper asked.
Admiral Holzendorf, the current position is the commander of the aircraft carrier fleet. I am afraid that this position will not be abolished until the aircraft carrier is assigned to the major fleets. Admiral Holzendorf served as the commander of the High Seas Fleet, but when the German Navy was divided into five fleets, his position was abolished. In addition, Admiral Holzendorf is no longer young, and the commander of the aircraft carrier fleet may be his last real job. Next, he will probably go to the Naval Academy or the Naval Aviation Academy as the dean. It is precisely because of this that Admiral Holzendorf attaches great importance to this opportunity. This might be his last battle before leaving office. Admiral Holzendorf also hopes that he can lead the aircraft carrier fleet to a clean victory.
"General, the aircraft carrier fleet is ready. As long as the capital ship of the US fleet is found, we can launch an attack. The carrier-based aircraft on the six aircraft carriers are enough to submerge the American battleships." Holzendo Admiral Husband said confidently.
Admiral Hipper nodded: "Okay, let's do this! General Burdick, the Atlantic Fleet and the Continental Fleet, act separately and give the Americans a chance. Once the main American fleet is found, immediately notify the aircraft carrier fleet. It's up to the carrier fleet to hit the Americans, and then we're picking up the pieces."
"Yes, General." Lieutenant General Burdick nodded.
Although, at this moment, the United States and Germany have not declared war. However, the two sides are actually at war. Especially when the German navy entered the waters near the Azores on a large scale, it made the outbreak of this war without any doubt.
