Chapter 1489 Waiting for the Rabbit

When the U.S. Navy was doing its best to prepare for a decisive battle with the German Navy. The German Navy is also preparing for this decisive battle.

Like the U.S. Navy, the German Navy's preset battlefield is also the sea area of ​​​​the Azores. Based on the analysis of the German Navy, if the U.S. Navy wants to defeat the German Navy, those bases on the Azores will have to be removed by the U.S. Navy. Therefore, the German Navy would rather stay in this sea area and wait for the U.S. Navy to come to their door.

Fight to the death with the U.S. Navy on the battlefield preset by your side. In this case, the German navy is undoubtedly more likely to win the final victory. Even the German Navy is stronger than the US Navy. But in order to win this naval battle, they also have to be cautious. In a naval battle that concerns the fate of the two countries, there is no room for carelessness. If it fails, it will ruin the future of the country.

After leaving Wilhelmshaven, the German Navy's home fleet entered the North Sea. Then cross the Shetland Islands, enter the Atlantic Ocean, and then turn south to the waters of the Azores.

The German Navy's Mediterranean Fleet, after entering the Atlantic Ocean through the Strait of Gibraltar, headed west all the way to the Azores.

As for the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet, their home port was originally in the Azores. After sailing away from Hero Harbor, the fleet actually did not leave this sea area, but cruised in the nearby sea area, waiting for the other two fleets to join them. At the same time, it is also waiting for the US fleet to come.

Backed by numerous airports on the Azores, it can be supported by a large number of shore-based aircraft. Even the strength of the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet is far from being an opponent of the US Fleet, but it can still compete with the US Fleet. This is why after the strength of the US Navy has greatly increased, the German Navy can still firmly control the Atlantic Ocean with the help of the Atlantic Fleet.

The home fleet of the German Navy has the farthest distance and the shortest time to arrive. The Mediterranean Fleet will arrive sooner.

On the vast Atlantic Ocean, the American fleet and the German fleet are both heading towards the Azores. The navies of the two countries will assemble thousands of warships in this sea area and start an extremely fierce fight. The winning country will not only gain command of the Atlantic Ocean, but also gain a huge advantage in the ensuing war. It will be very difficult for a failed country to come back and regain its disadvantage.

On the aircraft carrier "Poseidon", the flagship of the German Navy's home fleet, the commander of the fleet, Marshal Lütjens, and the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Karl Weitzel, are discussing the naval battle.

"Your Excellency, Marshal, the Americans are aggressive this time! According to intelligence from China, all their battleships and aircraft carriers are no longer in the port. Obviously, the Americans want to gather all their forces this time. Come and fight us!" Lieutenant General Carl Witzel said with emotion.

Even the German navy is very powerful. But the fact that the U.S. Navy can have such a boldness is beyond the imagination of many people. This kind of courage to put the fate of the country on a big war is undoubtedly beyond the reach of many people. I have to admit that the decision-makers of the US government are still very admirable on this point.

Marshal Lütjens nodded: "It is indeed very surprising that the Americans dare to fight us desperately. But do they think they can scare us like this? It's just fantastic!"

Lieutenant General Carl Witzel couldn't help laughing.

"Although the Imperial Navy is already the hegemon of the world, we are not lacking in aggressiveness. All along, the Imperial Navy has been fighting hard, in order to completely defeat the enemy that was not defeated in the last world war! In order to defeat We have been preparing for more than 20 years to win this naval battle. The Americans dare to do everything, why don’t we dare? Even if the navy fails, we still have a strong army and air force, which can also ensure that the empire is in Asia and Europe. The supremacy on the continent. As long as it can continue to occupy Europe, most of Asia and the whole of Africa, the empire's supremacy is not so easy to be taken away. The empire still has a chance to defeat those enemies again. And our enemies? If we lose again this time, we will never have another chance. Therefore, we can afford to lose, but our enemy cannot afford to lose!" Marshal Lütjens continued.

Lieutenant General Carl Witzel nodded again and again. Compared with the United States, Germany's position in this war does indeed occupy a great advantage. It is not so easy for the United States to defeat Germany and replace Germany as the world hegemony!

"What's more, the battlefield this time is still our home field. The combined strength of our three major fleets is already stronger than that of the US Navy. And on the Azores, we still have ten aviation wings. As long as we don't make too stupid mistakes and defeat the Americans, there is absolutely no problem. The ambitions of the Americans, like their warships, will all sink to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean!" Marshal Lütjens said confidently.

Lieutenant General Carl Witzel is also full of confidence in the upcoming naval battle. He also believed that the German Navy would be able to win this naval battle.

According to the scheduled combat plan, the three major fleets of the German Navy will gather in the waters around the Azores, waiting for the US fleet to come to the door. Then, relying on the shore-based aircraft on the Azores, they launched a counterattack and tried to severely damage the US fleet. If possible, even wipe out the main force of the US fleet in one fell swoop. In that case, the German fleet will be able to occupy a greater advantage. In the next battle, it will not be a problem to wipe out the US Navy step by step.

According to the plan, the German Navy's home fleet will wait for an opportunity in the northern waters of the Azores. The Atlantic Fleet will go out to the waters west of the Azores. The Mediterranean Fleet will be distributed in the southern waters of the Azores.

Although, the three major fleets are still separate. However, these distances are nothing to the shore-based aircraft on the Azores and the carrier-based aircraft on the carrier. Once the enemy's situation is discovered, the carrier-based aircraft of the three major fleets can take off to meet the enemy. Of course, the distance between the capital ship formations of the three major fleets will be further shortened, and they will be closer to the Azores to prevent the US Navy from dispatching the main fleet to attack the airport on the Azores at night.
