On November 21, the weather in the North Atlantic has become very cold. Especially on the sea, the wind is biting. The cold wind seemed to freeze people to death at any time.
A huge fleet is sailing in the North Atlantic. This fleet not only includes eight huge aircraft carriers, but also many amphibious assault ships with direct decks.
In order to ensure the smooth landing of Newfoundland this time, the German Marine Corps also took out the main force. Admiral Ernst von Busch, the commander of the Marine Corps, personally commanded the landing. Three marine divisions were invested in the first place, and then two more marine divisions will enter the battlefield. The number of amphibious assault ships invested has reached 12. In addition, there are dozens of dock landing ships and tank landing ships. Ensure that as many troops as possible can be sent to Newfoundland in one go.
Although, in terms of strength, the three marine divisions of the German army are not much more than the three infantry divisions of the British army on Newfoundland. But they were confident that they could easily defeat the three British infantry divisions on Newfoundland. After all, the soldiers of the German Marine Corps were originally elite. In addition, it is well equipped, not only equipped with amphibious tanks, but also supported by helicopters. There is also fire support from the main guns of battleships on the sea and carrier-based aircraft. This makes them armed to the teeth. Under such circumstances, it would not be a big problem to defeat the British army stationed in Newfoundland and completely take Newfoundland.
On the aircraft carrier "Poseidon", the flagship of the Home Fleet, Marshal Lütjens is talking with Admiral Busch.
Although, the local fleet suffered a lot in the last naval battle. The entire capital ship formation can be regarded as existent in name only. The three heavily damaged battleships are still being repaired on the berth. Most of the carrier-based aircraft force was also lost. However, Marshal Lütjens was in a very good mood. After all, they won and won the naval battle. Although the loss was a bit greater, they gained even greater results. Marshal Lütjens was also commended. The lost carrier-based aircraft were also replenished immediately. Even without the capital ship formation, the current local fleet is still very strong and should not be underestimated.
"General Busch, are you ready?" Marshal Lütjens asked.
Now the fleet is not far from Newfoundland, and it will be able to reach the scheduled sea area in two days.
"Your Excellency, Marshal, we are ready. As soon as we reach Newfoundland, we can launch an attack." Admiral Ernst von Busch has firm confidence in his troops. He firmly believed that they could easily land on Newfoundland, defeat the British army on the island in one fell swoop, and successfully capture the entire Newfoundland.
Marshal Lütjens nodded: "That's good. Your Majesty attaches great importance to this landing. Even whether we can successfully take Newfoundland is related to the next landing in North America. Everyone They all hope to take Newfoundland in the shortest possible time and at the lowest cost."
Ernst von Busch Admiral nodded. It was precisely because of this that he was under tremendous pressure. However, even so, General Ernst von Busch is confident in completing the task this time.
"Your Excellency, Marshal, please rest assured. I have great confidence in our Marine Corps. They will definitely defeat the British this time." Admiral Ernst von Busch's words already carried With a trace of assurance.
"General Busch, of course I believe you. This time, the local fleet will provide you with all-round support. Before landing, we will dispatch carrier-based aircraft and heavy cruisers to attack the British * military targets on the island. And, after the landing, the Marine Corps can call the carrier-based aircraft to provide you with air support at any time by radio." Marshal Lütjens continued.
"Yes, thank you Marshal. With the support of the local fleet, it will be easier for us to defeat the British." Admiral Ernst von Busch said with a smile.
Although the strength of the Marine Corps is very strong, even without the support of the local fleet, Admiral Ernst von Busch believes that they can capture Newfoundland. But that would take a lot of time. At the same time, casualties will increase. More importantly, it would create an opportunity for the enemy to reinforce Newfoundland.
You don’t need to think about it, once the British learn that the German army is attacking Newfoundland, they will definitely send reinforcements to Newfoundland immediately. This also requires the German army to take Newfoundland in the shortest possible time.
Even, it is necessary to rely on the local fleet to dispatch ships and carrier-based aircraft to block the Gulf of St. Lawrence and prevent the British army from reinforcing Newfoundland. Therefore, the support of the local fleet is indispensable.
"General Busch, during this landing, is there anything else that needs to be done by the local fleet? You are the main force for this landing. If you need any support, just ask!" Marshal Lütjens said.
He knew that after the last naval battle, the Navy's mission in the Atlantic Ocean was about to change. They are no longer the protagonists, but have become supporting roles.
Of course, all of this is for Germany to win this war. Whether it is the main character or the supporting role, it is very important.
"Your Excellency Marshal, I hope that after our attack begins, the home fleet can strengthen the blockade of the Gulf of St. Lawrence." Admiral Ernst von Busch said.
Marshal Lütjens nodded. Although, blocking the Gulf of St. Lawrence may take certain risks for the local fleet. But, they have to do it.
The Gulf of St. Lawrence is relatively narrow. Once the ships of the local fleet enter it, they will inevitably be attacked by the Royal Navy. Although the main force of the Royal Navy has been wiped out, they still have some cruisers and destroyers, and even submarines and torpedo boats.
"During the day, we will dispatch carrier-based aircraft to block the Gulf of St. Lawrence. At night, we will send cruisers and destroyers into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Even submarines will enter it. The British want to support Newfoundland through the Gulf of St. Lawrence Island, that's impossible!" said Marshal Lütjens.
"Your Excellency, Marshal, I feel relieved in this case." Admiral Ernst von Busch smiled.
After receiving the guarantee from Marshal Lütjens, his heart finally returned to his stomach, and he became more confident about the next landing operation.
