Chapter 1654 The Opportunity of the Mediterranean Fleet

"Our capital ship formation has been completely lost. Once the Americans and British use capital ships to attack us, we will have no way to fight back before dawn! Even our aircraft carrier will be easily destroyed by the enemy. His capital ship was sunk." Marshal Lütjens said with a serious face.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander. In this case, we have to be more cautious." Lieutenant General Carl Weitzer said.

Lieutenant General Hans seemed a little reconciled: "Your Excellency, if we miss this opportunity, the Americans and British will probably escape our strike radius after dawn. At that time, we want to deal with the enemy again." It is very difficult for the enemy to attack."

Marshal Lütjens nodded: "Indeed, it would be a pity. However, we have won the battle so far. Next, we must be more cautious. Otherwise, if we suffer again If we are hit hard, then we have no advantage at all.”

Marshal Lütjens obviously wanted to accept it as soon as he saw it. This naval battle is undoubtedly very risky. Their capital ship formation has been completely lost. Of the seven capital ships, four were sunk, and the other three were also severely damaged. In terms of aircraft carriers, although the eight aircraft carriers did not suffer losses, nearly half of the carrier-based aircraft also lost. It can be seen how tragic this naval battle was. Fortunately, in this naval battle, they sank as many as 17 aircraft carriers of the US Navy and the British Navy, which can be regarded as almost exhausting the aircraft carriers of the US and British fleets. This also made the German Navy's home fleet actually take advantage of this naval battle. Even if this naval battle ends like this, the German navy can be regarded as a big victory. Even, the foundation has been laid for the next victory.

"In any case, now we need to adopt a more robust plan. Order the fleet to turn north. After three hours, turn west. And, send more cruisers and destroyers to conduct reconnaissance, to ensure that once encountering the enemy With the capital ship formation, we have enough time to escape." Marshal Lütjens ordered.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Commander." Lieutenant General Carl Witzel said.

Although, whether the US and British fleets will send capital ship formations to attack them is just a guess. However, the local fleet took this seriously. They all hope to ensure that the aircraft carrier formation of the local fleet will not suffer too much loss in this battle. In that case, even if you have won the final victory.

"Don't worry, the Americans and the British won't be able to escape this time. Although, we may not be able to attack them again. However, the Mediterranean Fleet has already gone north. They will definitely not miss this rare opportunity. Even Therefore, the Atlantic Fleet will also step in. Even if the Americans and the British want to escape back to their homeland, it is not so easy. Their remaining warships are very likely to be eliminated by us." Rutte Marshal Yan Si continued.

The fleet of the German Navy in the Atlantic Ocean is not only the home fleet, the strength of the Mediterranean Fleet and the Atlantic Fleet are equally powerful. In particular, the Mediterranean Fleet has already moved northward from the waters near Bermuda.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." Lieutenant General Hans nodded. He also knew that at this time, protecting himself was the most important thing. After all, this war is far from over. Although the German Navy has gained an advantage in the war, the U.S. Navy and the British Navy are like centipedes that are dead but not stiff. It will take more time to completely eliminate them. In addition, when the German army lands in North America on a large scale, it will also need a powerful navy to escort it. Even, in the far east, the German Empire still has a powerful enemy to face. After defeating the United States and Britain, the German navy will inevitably march eastward.

"Where's our capital ship formation? Have they returned?" Marshal Lütjens asked.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. The capital ship formation has suffered heavy losses this time, and the remaining warships have already returned." Lieutenant General Carl Weitzer said.

"The reason why we were able to defeat the Americans and the British this time was that the capital ship formation made huge sacrifices. Even, they are indispensable." Marshal Lütjens continued.

Lieutenant General Karl Weitzer and Lieutenant General Hans both nodded repeatedly, and they could not deny this. It can be said that if the capital ship formation had not attracted the carrier-based aircraft fleet of the US and British fleets, then the local fleet would have suffered a crushing defeat this time. Not to mention that they were able to use a sharp counterattack to deal with more than a dozen aircraft carriers in the US and British fleets.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the contribution of the capital ship formation this time is indelible." Lieutenant General Carl Witzel said.

"It is precisely because of the sacrifices of the soldiers of the empire that we were able to win this war! We dispatched a seaplane to send a telegram to the Mediterranean Fleet after flying 300 kilometers. It will be up to them then." Lu Marshal Tejens ordered.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander."

Soon, a seaplane took off from a heavy cruiser and disappeared into the night sky. The seaplane flew southward for more than three hundred kilometers before it began sending telegrams. In this case, even if the US and British fleets listen to the radio signals, they will not find the location of the aircraft carrier formation of the German Navy's home fleet.

In the mid-Atlantic waters, a fleet is sailing under the night sky. This fleet is impressively the Mediterranean Fleet leaving from the waters near Bermuda.

It is already deep, and Admiral Herman Boehm, commander of the Mediterranean Fleet, has also rested.

However, the general on duty did not dare to neglect after receiving the telegram, and immediately woke up Admiral Herman Boehm.

"General, a big victory! The local fleet won a huge victory in the battle against the US and British fleets. They sank a total of 17 aircraft carriers of the US and British fleets. They almost killed all the aircraft carrier formations of the US and British fleets." Mediterranean Fleet Staff Officer Lieutenant General Cramer looked excited.

Admiral Herman Boehm finished reading the telegram quickly, with a smile on his face.

"The local fleet did a very good job this time. Under such a predicament, they were able to turn defeat into victory. It is indeed too cost-effective to exchange the loss of the capital ship formation for the aircraft carrier formation of the US and British fleets. We will win this battle." .However, it is up to us. This is our opportunity. If we can seize this opportunity and inflict heavy losses on the Americans and the British in one fell swoop, we will be able to make more achievements!" Herman Boehm The general said excitedly.
