Chapter 427

January 4, 1940, 7 o'clock in the evening.

In the cold winter, it gets dark very early. So much so that at this time, the sky had completely darkened.

In the anchorage of the Royal Navy's Home Fleet in Scapa Flow, battleships are ready to set off. Inside the boiler, high-temperature steam permeates the boiler. These high-temperature steam enters the steam turbine through the pipe, drives the steam turbine to operate, and then drives the propeller through the transmission shaft, allowing huge warships to run on the sea.

Admiral Charles Forbes was already aboard the flagship battleship Nelson. Although this is not the warship with the largest displacement in the Royal Navy, it has the largest main gun caliber and the most powerful combat power.

Admiral Charles Forbes had another idea in choosing the Nelson as his flagship. That is, he hopes to be like Lieutenant General Nelson, leading the Royal Navy to defeat powerful enemies and save the fate of the empire on which the sun never sets.

More than a hundred years ago, Vice Admiral Nelson led the Royal Navy to defeat the combined fleets of the First Empire of Gaul and the Kingdom of France in the Battle of Trafalgar, forcing Emperor Napoleon to give up attacking the mainland of the Empire on which the sun never sets. plan, thereby preserving the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, allowing the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets to continue to fight against the First Empire of Gaul, and eventually defeated the First Empire of Gaul. Nelson is also known as the soul of the Royal Navy!

Admiral Charles Forbes hoped that this time the decisive battle between the Royal Navy and the Third Reich Navy would be as successful as the Battle of Trafalgar.

"Your Excellency, Commander, everything is ready."Reported by Lieutenant General Arthur Powell

"So, let’s go!"General Charles Forbes ordered

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"Lieutenant General Arthur Powell nodded.

Then, the order to set off was issued, and one after another warships sailed out of Scapa Flow through the waterway.

The destroyers were the first to sail out, followed closely by the light ships. Cruisers, heavy cruisers, and then the battleships.

This time, the Royal Navy's home fleet was in full force.

All 11 battleships were dispatched. There were even some unsuspecting ships from the Third Reich. The six battleships purchased from the United States also sailed into the Atlantic Ocean.

This time, the Empire and the Royal Navy almost staked their entire fortune.

It can be said that the fate of the Empire will never set. Fight here.

Not long after the main force of the Royal Navy's Home Fleet left Scapa Flow, a submarine with the hull number U101 jumped out from under the sea. You know, the previous destroyers of the Royal Navy's Home Fleet, but After searching the surroundings, the submarine was still not found.

It was not that the Third Reich's submarine technology had developed rapidly and could avoid the Royal Navy's sonar search. It was that the submarine had been sitting there and sinking. Outside Kapa Bay. Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible for the destroyer's sonar to detect the submarine.

After the submarine surfaced, it immediately raised its antenna and sent a telegram to the country.

Then, the submarine immediately launched Shen, this sea area.

In less than half an hour, several destroyers arrived aggressively.

But they didn't find anything. They just randomly threw a bunch of depth charges and killed some fish and shrimps in the sea. That's all

"Commander, I'm afraid our whereabouts have been exposed. Radio detection equipment detected a section of radio waves."Reported by Lieutenant General Arthur Powell.

Admiral Charles Forbes' face was very ugly. Although he had known for a long time that the Home Fleet was out in force, it was certainly impossible to hide it from the Third Reich Navy. However, in such a short period of time, The news was leaked, which was still beyond his expectation.

It can be seen that the Third Reich is far more powerful than the Royal Navy in intelligence collection

"Just be exposed. Anyway, this time the Royal Navy was going to fight to the death with the Third Reich Navy."Admiral Charles Forbes said. This decisive battle at sea is inevitable.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"Lieutenant General Arthur Powell nodded.

Third Reich, Kiel Port Naval Base.

Marshal Redl has received the telegram that the main force of the Royal Navy's Home Fleet has moved out.

"The main force of the Royal Navy has been dispatched. So, this decisive battle has officially begun. Order the fleet to prepare immediately. Off to sea in an hour!"Marshal Redel ordered

"Yes, Your Majesty Marshal!"Admiral Albrecht, Chief of Naval Staff, replied.

At 8:15 pm, the main fleet of the Imperial Navy began to leave the military port.

Because the Kingdom of Novi and the Kingdom of Fairy Tales have been controlled by the Third Reich and have become a member of the Iron Alliance. Therefore, it is now more convenient for the Third Reich Navy to enter and exit the North Sea and even the Atlantic Ocean. It starts directly from the Port of Kiel, crosses the Great Belt Strait and Kattegat Strait, and enters the North Sea.

Then, it sails northwest from the Norwegian coast. , entering the Atlantic Ocean.

If it is during the day, the entire voyage will be under the protection of the shore-based aircraft of the Third Reich Air Force and Naval Aviation, which is very safe. It can be said that now the Third Dig Navy no longer has to go in and out of the Atlantic Ocean. As sneaky as before, you have to worry about being intercepted and ambushed by the Royal Navy at any time.

With the main force of the Royal Navy coming out, the Third Reich Navy also showed no reservations and used its main force.

Four H battleships, one P -class battleships, three O-class battlecruisers, four Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers, and a fleet of heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers, all set off.

In order to defeat the Royal Navy in one fell swoop in this naval battle, the Third Reich Navy can be regarded as All the strength has been used.

Many naval generals know very well that this may be the only hope for the Third Reich Navy. If it cannot defeat the Royal Navy this time, then the Third Reich Navy may not be able to defeat it in the future. There will be such an opportunity again.

The Third Reich, which is short of resources, can no longer invest so many resources in the navy and build such a large fleet. After all, it has cheated the Woolly Bear Alliance before. But this Once again, I’m afraid I won’t find fools like the Furry Bear Alliance to trick me again.

"The Imperial Navy must win! No one can stop us from winning this time! nobody!"Marshal Redl stood in the command tower of the battleship Hindenburg, looking at the huge fleet with determination.
