The flagship of the Atlantic Fleet is the "Zeus" aircraft carrier, which is the first of the German Navy's "Lord God" aircraft carrier. Originally, after the "Lord God-class" aircraft carrier was commissioned, it was not immediately assigned to the major fleets, but was directly under the Ministry of the Navy. It was not until the United States showed more and more obvious intentions to participate in the war that the German Admiralty assigned the first batch of four "Lord-class" aircraft carriers to the Atlantic Fleet in order to strengthen the strength of the Atlantic Fleet to deal with the threat of the US Navy .

If the "Lord God-class" aircraft carrier is added with spare fighters, it can carry a total of 120 carrier-based aircraft. Except for the "Nordic God-class" aircraft carrier under construction, there is no aircraft carrier in the world that can compare with it. In addition, the "Lord God-class" aircraft carrier also has a beveled deck, which further improves the take-off and landing efficiency of the carrier-based aircraft. It can be said that the comprehensive combat power of the "Lord God-class" aircraft carrier completely crushes the "Essex-class" aircraft carrier of the US Navy.

After the four "Main God-class" aircraft carriers joined the Atlantic Fleet, the strength of the Atlantic Fleet has been greatly improved. Admiral Rolf Karls, the commander of the Atlantic Fleet, confidently believed that even if the US Fleet attacked in a large scale, the strength of the Atlantic Fleet alone would be able to rely on the shore-based aircraft on the Azores to resist the attack of the US Fleet. . If you are lucky, it may even cause the US fleet to suffer heavy casualties. Now, the local fleet and the Mediterranean fleet are also coming, which gives the German navy a greater advantage in this sea area.

"Your Excellency, according to the distance and the speed of our fleet, the Mediterranean Fleet will be able to reach the waters south of the Azores in two days. As for the local fleet, it may take five to six days to reach the waters south of the Azores. We can make it there," said Vice Admiral George Friedberg, Chief of Staff of the Atlantic Fleet.

Admiral Rolf Karls nodded: "If the US fleet enters the Atlantic Ocean and goes eastward with all its strength, it will reach the Azores in five or six days. Therefore, we have to strengthen our defenses." Okay. Let our submarines, seaplanes, destroyers and light cruisers strengthen the search of the surrounding waters, don't wait for the US fleet to come, we don't know yet."

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." Lieutenant General George Friedberg replied. However, he personally does not think that this will happen. After all, for this battle, the entire German Navy is on careful alert, and will never let the US fleet take advantage of such loopholes.

The submarine force of the German Navy, seaplanes and other reconnaissance aircraft have long been focusing on searching this sea area. Even, the search range has been extended to the mid-Atlantic waters. This time, the US fleet is fully deployed, and it is a very large fleet. If the huge fleet wants to hide its tracks, it is almost impossible. Therefore, the German Navy has enough confidence to believe that they will soon discover the traces of the US fleet.

"Your Excellency, Commander, will the Americans really come straight to the Azores? They won't know that we will gather heavy troops here and wait for them to come here, right? It stands to reason that the Americans will not be so stupid. ’” Lieutenant General George Friedberg said.

After all, Germany's strategic intentions are so obvious that it is impossible for the Americans not to know. If the Americans knew, they would not be unaware that they were at a disadvantage in such a confrontation. If they still want to take the risk of a decisive battle with the German navy in this sea area, they will undoubtedly be at a great disadvantage. It will undoubtedly be very difficult to defeat the German navy.

"Huh! Of course the Americans know this, and they are not fools. But, do they have any choice now? Our army has already achieved a decisive victory on the Russian battlefield. Russia is already dying. Before long, Russia will be destroyed. Therefore, in order to rescue Russia, the United States has to launch an attack at this time. In this case, Russia may still have a chance. Otherwise, Russia will die. Once Russia is defeated, we will Then we can concentrate our forces to deal with them, and we can even gather our forces first to eliminate the navy of the islanders and make the island a dead island. By that time, will the US Navy be able to deal with our five major fleets? So, They must fight us as soon as possible, and try to defeat us. Otherwise, they will lose!" Admiral Rolf Karls looked confident.

Lieutenant General George Friedberg nodded: "So, now it seems that we have the chance to win."

"Yes, you can say that. However, there are too many unexpected factors. With the strength of the U.S. Navy, if we make a mistake, it is very likely that they will catch the opportunity and turn defeat into victory. Therefore, in the next step During the battle, we must be extra vigilant. Otherwise, once we lose this naval battle, we will bear the blame." Admiral Rolf Karls said seriously.

The more it is like this, the more careful it is. Especially in naval battles that are related to the fate of the country, it is necessary to have a 120,000-point spirit. Once such a sea battle is decided, there will be no chance to do it again.

"Let the airports on the Azores Islands, as well as the coastal defense fortresses, be prepared. Once it gets dark, send as many aircraft as possible to the underground hangars and caverns. Coastal defense artillery must also be done Prepare to defend against the US fleet. In the eyes of the Americans, the bases on the Azores have become a thorn in their side. If they want to defeat us, they must try to use the bases on the Azores as much as possible. It needs to be erased. And this is also our opportunity. We can use this opportunity to severely damage the Americans!" Admiral Rolf Karls ordered.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander."

The Atlantic Fleet of the German Navy not only deployed a large number of aircraft on the Azores, but also built a lot of coastal fortifications. Among these coastal defense fortresses, many coastal defense artillery were deployed. It even includes large-caliber coastal defense guns with a caliber of 410 mm. These coastal defense guns are prepared for the capital ships of the US Navy. Both 380mm and 410mm coastal defense guns can pose a fatal threat to the capital ships of the US Navy. Although in terms of quantity, it cannot be compared with the capital ships of the US fleet. However, it is not impossible to rely on a strong defense force to make the US fleet pay an unimaginable price.

What's more, the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet has another secret weapon deployed in the Azores.
