Chapter 161

June 8, 7 a.m.

Hess, who had already gotten up, was having breakfast with his wife and son.

But at this time, Navy Commander Marshal Redel, Air Force Commander Admiral Milch, and Army Commander General Brauchich all arrived.

"Your Excellency, I'm sorry to bother you!"The three of them all seemed a little embarrassed.

During this period, Hess has also been very busy, which has greatly reduced the time he spends with his family. So that the daily breakfast time has become the most precious time to spend with his family.

But even so, I am often disturbed

"It's okay. Have you eaten? asked Hess.

"Your Excellency, we have already eaten."All three replied

"Okay, you go to the office first. I'll be here in five minutes!" Hess said

"Yes, Your Majesty the Governor!"The three of them nodded.

"I'm sorry, ma'am!"When the three of them left, they did not forget Anne Barak's apology.

Anne Barak smiled and waved her hand.

After becoming Hess's wife, she had become accustomed to Hess's busyness. She also knew very well that Hess was... In order to do this for the whole country and nation, she must understand

"We need to speed up!"Hess said to his wife and children.

After eating the bread and milk in twos and twos, Hess wiped his hands and went to the office.

"Generals, what happened?"Hess asked.

Chief of Defense Marshal Bromberg went to the front line of the Bolan battlefield to inspect the troops.

"Your Excellency, yesterday afternoon, the Mediterranean Fleet of the Empire of the Sun Never Sets took action against the Navy of the Kingdom of Caesar. The naval fleet of the Kingdom of Caesar was no match for the Mediterranean fleet of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, and two battleships were sunk. Even though the Caesar Kingdom's air force vigorously assisted in the battle, it was unable to change the situation. It only damaged two battleships of the Mediterranean Fleet of the Sun Never Sets Empire."Marshal Redl said.

Hess nodded, which was not beyond his expectation.

"Compared with the strength of the Caesar Kingdom's navy compared to the Mediterranean fleet of the Empire on which the sun never sets, it is completely at a disadvantage, and it is understandable that it would be defeated." Hess said

"Yes, Your Excellency. However, today, the Imperial Mediterranean Fleet attacked the Port of Sirte. The entire Port of Sirte was destroyed by them. We shipped the oil produced from Biya's oil fields in a short period of time."Marshal Redl continued, his face very ugly.

You know, the navy is definitely a big consumer of fuel. A battleship will consume hundreds or even thousands of tons of fuel once it goes to sea. It is impossible to compare with the same force now. Asian oil, which will seriously affect the navy's next operations

"It doesn't surprise me that the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets would attack the Port of Sirte. It was not easy for us to obtain a large amount of oil from the Libyan oil field and build a national strategic oil reserve before the war broke out."Hess said.

Before the oil in Libya was exploited, Hess had already anticipated that such a situation might happen.

But what he did not expect was that the empire would move so quickly, and the war had just begun. At the beginning, Sirte's oil fields were destroyed.

"Your Excellency, we will do our best to repair the Port of Sirte. First try to get a small amount of oil there to be transported back to the country. Wait until we have control of the Mediterranean before fully repairing the Port of Sirte."Admiral Brauchic said

"Can! Hess replied

"Your Excellency, after the Mediterranean fleet of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets destroyed the Port of Sirte, we immediately retaliated against it. A dive bomber group and a torpedo attack group deployed there by the Navy, with the support of the air force, launched an attack on the Mediterranean Fleet of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets. Moreover, a dive bomber wing of the Air Force later joined the attack and destroyed the Mediterranean Fleet in one fell swoop. The remaining four capital ships of the Mediterranean Fleet were all sunk by us. Two heavy cruisers were also sunk. Two light cruisers and two destroyers were sunk! And we only lost more than 20 aircraft!"Marshal Redl continued.

Hess couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

"Haha, this is good news. Everyone, it seems that our plan to use aircraft to attack the fleet of the Sun Never Sets Empire is completely feasible!" Hess said

"Yes, Your Excellency. The Navy now has four aircraft carriers, which will soon be able to form combat capabilities. In addition, there are four carrier-based air wings that have formed combat capabilities and can take off from land airports. Next, the naval aviation force will also form more carrier-based air wings."Marshal Redl said.

After seeing the strength of fighter planes in naval battles, Marshal Redl's ideas have changed.

Originally, he was a supporter of giant ships and cannons.

It was completely under the strong suppression of Hess that this He only accepted the construction of aircraft carriers.

But now, his concept has undergone a fundamental change.

In other words, Marshal Redl's purpose is very simple, that is, regardless of battleships or aircraft carriers, as long as they can help the Third Reich Navy defeat the Japanese Defeating the Imperial Navy and winning the naval battle was what he supported.

Hess nodded with satisfaction. It would be great for Marshal Redl to have such a change.

"Your Excellency, after the battleships we built for Lao Maozi are put into service, the Imperial Navy can officially challenge the Royal Navy of the Empire on which the sun never sets. We have three battlecruisers, twelve battleships, plus four aircraft carriers, and we are fully capable of fighting a decisive battle with the Imperial Royal Navy on which the sun never sets. The Royal Navy currently has only nineteen battleships left. And most of them are old battleships built before and after the last world war. And ours are all cutting-edge battleships. Although they have seven aircraft carriers, the number of carrier-based aircraft they carry is far less than our aircraft carriers. Our four aircraft carriers carry much more carrier-based aircraft than their seven aircraft carriers. Coupled with the performance gap between the two sides' carrier-based aircraft, the Imperial Navy can completely take advantage!"Marshal Redl continued.

Hess was stunned. He didn't expect that Marshal Redl had such a thought.

"Indeed, the overall strength of the Imperial Navy is no worse than the Royal Navy of the Empire where the sun never sets, or even stronger. However, the strength of the Royal Navy cannot be underestimated. Next, we will still find ways to weaken the Royal Navy as much as possible. Then, find a chance to fight again!" Hess said

"Yes, Your Majesty the Governor!"Marshal Redl replied. _
