Chapter 1614 Prepare to do it

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, we have reached an agreement with the Americans. Starting tomorrow, the Atlantic Fleet will be under the command of the Americans until the end of this battle." Sir Dudley Pound reported to Prime Minister Churchill.

Prime Minister Churchill nodded, even though he handed over the command of his own fleet to the Americans, which made Prime Minister Churchill feel a little uncomfortable. However, in order to ensure their own safety, they can only do so now. Who made it impossible to compete with the Germans by relying solely on the strength of the United Kingdom? Otherwise, they wouldn't be so complacent.

"Who is in command of the battle against the Germans this time? Is it General Nimitz?" Prime Minister Churchill asked.

Sir Dudley Pound shook his head: "The American commander is Admiral Ernest King."

After hearing this, Prime Minister Churchill couldn't help frowning. Obviously, in his opinion, Admiral Nimitz is more qualified to command the fleets of the two countries. Although, Admiral Nimitz failed in the naval battle of the Azores. However, this also allowed Admiral Nimitz to further understand the situation of the German fleet. In this case, in this naval battle, their chances of winning will undoubtedly be a little greater.

"It seems that factional struggles within the U.S. Navy are also very intense! After Admiral Nimitz failed in the Azores naval battle, it is difficult to get the opportunity to command the fleet again." Prime Minister Churchill said.

Sir Dudley Pound nodded: "Yes, may God bless us. I hope our fleet can defeat the Germans in this naval battle!"

Prime Minister Churchill also prayed to God for countless times. However, he knew that if he wanted to keep Britain, it was obviously unrealistic to just pray to God. In the end, he still had to rely on their own strength!

"Let the army speed up and send more troops to Newfoundland. If the Germans really want to take Newfoundland, we will face a hard fight there." Prime Minister Churchill said.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. The Marine Corps will also send two additional brigades to Newfoundland. By then, we will have hundreds of thousands of troops in Newfoundland. It will be completely useless to resist the German attack." Question," said Sir Dudley Pound.

"I hope so!" Prime Minister Churchill was obviously not so optimistic.

When the U.S. Navy and the British Navy reached an agreement and were preparing to fight the German Navy with all their strength. The plan of the German Navy is being implemented in an orderly manner.

The German Navy's home fleet continued to march from the eastern waters of Greenland to the waters of the Newfoundland Islands. It's just that after nightfall on October 15, they will return and return to the waters southeast of Greenland to distance themselves from the US and British fleets. After all, relying solely on the strength of the local fleet, it is undoubtedly very difficult to fight against the combined US and British fleets. Their task is more to attract the attention of the US and British fleets and buy time for the Atlantic Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet to capture Bermuda. As for whether there is a chance to cheat the Americans and the British in the future, it depends on the further development of the situation.

The German Navy's Atlantic Fleet and Mediterranean Fleet continued to sail towards Bermuda. The combination of the two fleets undoubtedly has a very strong strength. The number of aircraft carriers alone has reached 13. Moreover, the number of "Lord God-class" aircraft carriers has reached five, plus four "Constellation-class" aircraft carriers and four "Deutschland-class" aircraft carriers, they already have enough strength to challenge the US Navy and the British Navy.

In terms of capital ships, the two fleets combined have a total of 15 ships. During the naval battle of the Azores, many capital ships were injured. But in the following three months, these injured capital ships were quickly repaired. Even if it is an old battleship, it still has powerful combat power. Especially when performing ground strike missions, those 380mm main guns are extremely powerful.

On October 15, after the sun sank to sea level, the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet and Mediterranean Fleet were less than 400 kilometers away from Bermuda. But the fleet continued on. Even if the United States has set up a naval base on Bermuda. But their sea search radar can only detect thirty to forty kilometers. Although the air search radar can detect 300 kilometers away, but it is night, and the aircraft carrier of the German Navy will not take off the carrier-based aircraft. As long as it is not discovered by the submarines and ships of the US Navy, the traces of the German fleet will not be exposed.

"Your Excellency, Commander, it is estimated that we will be able to reach the waters near Bermuda at about five o'clock tomorrow morning." Lieutenant General George Friedberg said.

Admiral Rolf Karls nodded: "It is enough for the aircraft carrier formation to stay in the waters about 100 kilometers southeast of Bermuda. The battleship formation will directly attack the important facilities on the islands to ensure that the Marine Corps By the time of landing, all obstacles had been cleared."

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." Lieutenant General George Friedberg replied.

"In addition, strengthen anti-submarine. Before we launch an attack on Bermuda, our whereabouts must not be exposed. Otherwise, the Americans will be prepared." Admiral Rolf Karls emphasized.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." Lieutenant General George Friedberg undoubtedly knew this.

The German fleet continued to move towards the goal. Anti-submarine dreadnoughts and destroyers are cruising around the periphery of the fleet to ensure that no American submarines will get in. In this case, they will be able to approach Bermuda quietly.

At 3:30 in the morning on October 16, the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet and Mediterranean Fleet had arrived in the waters 100 kilometers away from Bermuda.

At this time, the fleet separated. The aircraft carrier formation remained in the waters southeast of Bermuda. The capital ship formation continued to advance. They need to sail to the offshore of Bermuda, and then directly attack the military installations on the island with naval guns.

Although the U.S. Navy has also deployed shore-based aircraft on Bermuda. However, it is night now, and those shore-based aircraft of the US Navy cannot take off at all, let alone pose a threat to the German Navy's capital ship formation.

Of course, after the formation approaches the Bermuda Islands, it will still be discovered by the US military on the island. After all, the sea search radar on the island is not vegetarian. However, the German fleet is already ready to act, so naturally it will no longer be afraid of exposing its whereabouts.
