Chapter 2159: Deployment

(Page 1/1)

"The other way is to cross the Danish Sea, enter the Norwegian Sea, and then return to the mainland through the British north blockade. Although this does not have to face minefields and submarine ambushes, it is beyond the cover of our aviation forces. Range, and the North Sea blockade may be attacked by British air forces based in the Shetland Islands, and it is very likely to face the interception of the British fleet. If this is the case, the main fleet must go forward to respond." General You analyzed.

Admiral Schel’s analysis is very reasonable. The current situation of the Mediterranean Fleet is very similar to the situation of the German Navy in the 2nd World War before the Thunder Therbrus. It is a fleet that wants to return to Germany and the route is also the same. Both lines have their own advantages and disadvantages. Walking through the English Channel is mainly to face submarines and mines, while walking through the North Sea is to face the interception of British aviation forces and the large fleet.

"In principle, I tend to take the Danish Strait-Norwegian Sea route. If we plan properly, then we can hope to make a break with the British fleet on a battlefield that is beneficial to us!" Ruprech Special said.

　　 "Do you mean that the Mediterranean fleet will be used as bait to attract the British fleet when necessary?" Earl Spey asked. "If my sacrifice can be exchanged for the destruction of the British fleet, then it is my honor."

"It's not that bad. We will try our best to help the Mediterranean fleet. It may even include an aircraft carrier. It is not a half-cargo used by the Su Xiong fleet in the Indian Ocean, but a real aircraft carrier. Maybe we can't provide much output to the sea. But it is sufficient to provide reconnaissance and air defense for the fleet," Ruprecht said.

　　 "A real aircraft carrier? Is it American?" Earl Spey asked.

"Yes, the Americans want to catch the last bus before the end of the war. Train their fleet. You will meet in the Atlantic and then together in France, where you can get to know each other for about two weeks. "Ruprecht said.

　　 "This is really good news. I can go back now to prepare for the fleet to enter the Atlantic Ocean." Count Spey said.

　　 "Don't worry, we have other things to do. It may take a while to complete these things," Ruprecht said.

　　On the afternoon of the end of the meeting, Ruprecht had a meeting with the Norwegian representative who had just visited, the former Prime Minister Gunnar Knudsen. This is Ruprecht’s first meeting with a representative of this Nordic country, and the content of the meeting has a very important impact on the development of the entire war situation and the post-war form.

"Dear Prince Ruprecht, His Royal Highness the Regent of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, I came to Germany this time to show you Norway’s attitude. We have no intention of getting involved in any confrontation and game between major powers. We are just one A neutral country, and your request is to send an aviation team to Norway and build a large temporary airport, which has broken our country’s neutrality.” Gunnar Knudsen said carefully. Now the war situation is very clear. Facing the German Empire that is about to rule the entire European continent, Knell is very scared! If it is not necessary, he is not willing to offend the crown prince of the German Empire and the regent of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

"The German Empire respects the legal rights of any country. Even in the war, we protect the neutral rights of the Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland and other countries. But compared to these countries, I personally think that Norway is not completely neutral. , Your actions have crossed the boundaries of neutrality. Even our country has positioned your country as an ally of the British. In this case, I think your country should use Operation Century to remove its suspicion. After all, some actions in Norway It does affect neutrality." Ruprecht said calmly.

Ruprecht wanted to let the air force enter Norway, naturally, his intention is obvious. If Norway can be used as an air base telephone, then the German fleet can always be protected by air power after entering the Atlantic Ocean from the Jutland Strait. The German High Seas Fleet is not only Don't worry about the small number of aircraft carriers owned by the British fleet, and even the land-based aviation team need not be afraid. Under the cover of the Norwegian base, the German fleet can smoothly enter and exit the North Sea! In this way, the entire strategic situation has been completely reversed!

　　Of course, in the eyes of Norwegians, this behavior undermines Norway’s neutral status and legitimate interests. But in fact, if you really refer to the legal terms, some Norwegian actions have broken the neutrality treaty!

　　 "Presumably you have studied the relevant legal provisions before coming to Germany. That's good. Can we discuss some issues now?" Ruprecht took out a document.

"This is a fishery purchase contract signed between our country and your country before the war. The above clearly stipulates the fishery products that you should provide to our country last year and this year. It also emphasizes that as long as there is no direct outbreak between the German Empire and Norway The war, then this contract cannot be interrupted. But what is the situation now? Half a year after the outbreak of the war, your country signed a fishery product underwriting agreement with the United Kingdom, and the government forced all the fishery products to be sold to the United Kingdom. I want to know that counts. Doesn’t it count as a violation of the neutrality clause? The agreement we signed before is thus invalidated? Your country has not given us a proper answer so far!” Ruprecht’s words are already a bit cold~www.wuxiaspot.com~In history There was indeed a similar agreement between Britain and Norway during World War I. Britain undertook all the fish products exported from Norway. )

"This is a list of goods notified by your country’s Norwegian-American shipping company to the United Kingdom. After the British changed the criteria for judging war-prohibited materials from the cargo ship destination principle to the cargo destination principle, they trampled on this concept. In the case of international conventions, your country not only did not object, but cooperated with the actions of the British. You handed over the cargo list of each cargo ship and cooperated with the unreasonable inspections by the British! Then please tell me, this Is this kind of behavior really neutral?" Ruprecht said here has not concealed his anger!

(The so-called cargo ship destination principle means that as long as the cargo ship is not heading to a hostile country, it is a neutral ship and the British navy cannot intercept it. The so-called cargo destination principle means that no matter where the cargo ship’s destination is, as long as the above The goods may enter Germany, so even for contraband, this order of the British Privy Council clearly violated the international law at the time. And when the First World War broke out in history, the Norwegian-American Shipping Company did provide the British with a list and cooperated with the inspection. This is indeed a violation of neutrality in the eyes of the Germans.)
