Chapter 1612 Sounding North Strikes South (seeking a monthly ticket)

In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, more than a thousand kilometers east of the Bermuda Islands, a huge fleet is cruising here. In order to ensure the safety of the fleet, anti-submarine frigates and destroyers patrol the periphery of the fleet. The sonar soldiers were even more engrossed in listening to the underwater sounds to ensure that they would not be mixed in by American submarines.

You must know that many submarines of the US Navy also operate in the Atlantic Ocean. It's just that their submarines are far less advanced than those of the German Navy. Compared with the German Navy's anti-submarine means, there is a huge gap. This also made the U.S. Navy's submarine force suffer heavy losses in the Atlantic Ocean, completely unable to compare with the German Navy.

Even so, the German Navy did not relax at all. Among other things, in case their tracks are discovered by the submarines of the US Navy. Then, the plan of the German Navy may fail. The key to the success of this plan was the raid on Bermuda. Once the Americans were prepared, they strengthened the defense of Bermuda, or assembled a huge fleet in the waters west of Bermuda. Then, the actions of the German Navy will be difficult to succeed.

Admiral Rolf Karls has not rested on the aircraft carrier Zeus. Although it was late at night, he was still discussing the battle plan with the combat staff. Hopefully, all the loopholes will be found before the fight really begins. So as to ensure that when the plan actually starts to be implemented, it will be impeccable.

"Your Excellency, Commander, a telegram has just been sent from the country, and the Americans have already taken the bait. A large number of warships of the U.S. Navy have already gone north. At the same time, the main fleet of the British Navy is also gathering. Obviously, they were frightened by the home fleet." Lieutenant General George Friedberg, Chief of Staff of the Fleet, said with a smile.

"Very well, since the Americans have taken the bait, then our plan has been more than half successful. Act according to the scheduled plan. Launch an attack on the military installations on Bermuda early in the morning the day after tomorrow to cover the landing of the marines!" Luo General Golf Karls said.

In the view of Admiral Rolf Karls, it is already unrealistic for the Americans to prevent the German navy from capturing the Bermuda Islands when the main force of the U.S. Navy has already moved north. According to the information obtained by Germany, the United States has only deployed one regiment of Marines on the Bermuda Islands. With such a force, it is obviously impossible to resist the attack of a German marine division.

With the combat effectiveness of the German Marine Corps, with the strong fire support of the Navy, it will be a matter of certainty to annihilate a regiment of the US Marine Corps. In addition, another marine division of the German Navy will also be stationed here after the capture of Bermuda. In this case, Germany has assembled two marine divisions on the Bermuda Islands, nearly 40,000 people. For an archipelago of only 70 square kilometers, such a force is undoubtedly very dense. Unless the U.S. Navy regains command of the sea in the waters surrounding Bermuda, and then invests a huge force regardless of losses. Otherwise, it would be almost impossible to regain the Azores.

"Your Excellency, Commander, with our strength, there is no doubt that there is no problem in capturing the Bermuda Islands. However, the pressure on your Excellency Marshal Lütjens may be greater." Lieutenant General George Friedberg said .

Admiral Rolf Karls nodded: "Yes, but I believe that the local fleet will be able to handle it. After we assist the Marine Corps to capture Bermuda, the main force can also go north to assist the local fleet. Heavy damage to the U.S. Navy and the British Navy. If the main forces of the U.S. Navy and the British Navy can be eliminated in one fell swoop, then there will be no suspense in this war. Our army will easily land in North America. The next step is the army It’s about those guys. Our army can crush Russia with a torrent of steel. I believe they will be able to succeed in North America as well.”

"No one can resist the attack of the Imperial Army!" Lieutenant General George Friedberg also looked confident.

"Tomorrow morning, I will have a meeting with General Herman Boehm. In the upcoming battle, the command of our two fleets must be highly unified." Admiral Rolf Karls said.

This time, the Atlantic Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet are operating jointly. This also makes the command of the two fleets must be unified. Otherwise, there will inevitably be confusion.

"Okay, Your Excellency Commander, I will arrange it." Lieutenant General George Friedberg said.

"This time, we must win! After completely defeating the U.S. Navy and the British Navy, I may be able to get the Marshal's Scepter!" Admiral Rolf Karls secretly said to himself.

The strength of the Atlantic Fleet is not inferior to that of the local fleet, and even in the naval battle of the Azores, they made more contributions. But Lütjens, the commander of the home fleet, is the marshal, and Rolf Karls is still an admiral now. Undoubtedly, Admiral Rolf Karls also very much hoped that he could go one step further and obtain the marshal's scepter.

Although the emperor of the empire is a person who is not stingy with the marshal's scepter. However, in order to obtain the marshal's scepter, one must have enough military exploits. And defeating the U.S. Navy and the British Navy became an important guarantee for Admiral Rolf Karls to win the scepter of the Marshal.

At the same time, the fleet commander Marshal Lütjens on the aircraft carrier Poseidon, the flagship of the local fleet, also received a telegram from China.

"Your Excellency, the Americans and the British have already taken the bait. Their fleets have begun to assemble. And the Atlantic Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet will definitely start soon. Once they do, the Americans will find themselves I was fooled. At that time, we may be under a lot of pressure." Lieutenant General Carl Witzel said.

Marshal Lütjens nodded: "Yes, this will be a crisis for the local fleet. However, I believe that with the strength of the local fleet, it is enough to survive this crisis safely. Even, I hope We can also use this opportunity to defeat the US Navy and the British Navy in one fell swoop!"

Marshal Lütjens has always believed that the local fleet is the boss of the many fleets of the German Navy. Then, they should naturally make the greatest contribution in the decisive naval battle. This is why Marshal Lütjens asked the local fleet to perform the task of luring the enemy this time.
