Chapter 455

On the afternoon of January 7, 1940, in the mid-Atlantic.

The sea surface that had been boiling for a long time seemed to have finally calmed down, but the smell of gunpowder smoke remaining in the air made everyone clearly remember what a fierce battle had just broken out in this sea area.

As the world's hegemon, the Royal Navy of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets and the emerging hegemon, the Third Reich, launched the fiercest battle in this sea area.

But the final result was enough to surprise the whole world.

The old overlord, the Imperial Navy, was completely defeated in this battle. All the capital ships were sunk, and not a single one survived. Even the six battleships purchased from the Eagle Country at a large price were all sunk. Moreover, even cruisers and destroyers suffered heavy losses.

It can be said that the Royal Navy has suffered the heaviest blow. From now on, the entire Royal Navy will most likely collapse and never have a chance to rise again.

After all, the failure of the Royal Navy means that the empire on which the sun never sets is extremely likely to be destroyed. Under such circumstances, is there any hope for the Royal Navy? That's obviously impossible

"Your Excellency Marshal, we have won! We finally won! And it was a glorious victory achieved at a very small cost!"Admiral Albrecht was extremely excited.

Although before the war broke out, the senior naval officials of the Third Reich were very confident and believed that they would be able to win this battle. But after they truly won the final victory, many people even I can’t believe this is true.

This is the victory that the Third Reich Navy has longed for for many years!

Even during the Second Reich, they longed to defeat the Royal Navy and become the maritime overlord.

Until now, all this It finally came true

"yes! we won! We finally won! From now on, our admirals are the new overlords of the sea. The navies of other countries will crawl at our feet!"Marshal Redl also flushed with excitement.

As a naval commander, and even the founder of the Third Reich Navy. He knew very well what a huge honor this was!

"Your Excellency, Marshal, the Royal Navy is completely finished. Their main force has been completely killed by us. Although some cruisers and destroyers escaped back. However, it is no longer harmful. They can no longer pose a threat to us. Even when we launch an attack on the mainland of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, they will not be able to hinder us at all. In this war, the Sun Never Sets Empire has already lost. Next, when the Imperial Army lands on the Empire's mainland, the Empire will definitely lose!"General Albrecht said.

Obviously, General Albrecht is also very confident in the Army of the Third Reich.

"This is natural! We finally lived up to the expectations of your Excellency, and finally defeated the Royal Navy of the Empire on which the sun never sets. It’s not in vain that your Excellency in power has always given us strong support!"Marshal Redl said with emotion.

They all knew very well that without the support of Hess, the Third Reich Navy would not have been able to develop in a short period of time.

You know, the Third Reich was short of resources, but it still gritted its teeth and supported the navy. development. In order for the navy to develop and grow, they even resorted to deception and deception. They did not hesitate to bear infamy, and the navies of the Three Reichs became stronger. This made the naval officers and soldiers of the Third Reich particularly moved and expressed their gratitude to Hercules. Hess also admired Hess very much.

Most of them vowed to do their best to win the victory for the Third Reich in the next war in return for Hess's support.

And now, they finally did it

"Rescue the Royal Navy officers and soldiers who fell into the water. The war is over and they will be our prisoners of war."Marshal Redel ordered

"Yes, Your Majesty Marshal!"General Albrecht nodded.

"In addition, calculate the results as soon as possible. Your Majesty the Consul must be waiting for news from us."Marshal Redl continued.

Thinking of the way Hess received the good news, Marshal Redl couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, Your Excellency Marshal. The staff officers were already making statistics."General Albrecht replied.

In less than half an hour, preliminary statistics of the battle results were obtained.

In this battle, the Third Reich Navy sank a total of five aircraft carriers, 17 battleships, and 8 heavyweights of the Royal Navy. Cruisers, 15 light cruisers, and 32 destroyers.

It can be said that the main force of the Royal Navy has been lost in this battle.

The losses of the Third Reich Navy in this battle were relatively small.

In terms of capital ships , the Third Reich Navy was not sunk, only three battleships suffered heavy damage. Almost all of the other 14 battleships were lightly damaged or moderately damaged, and no battleship was intact at all. As for cruisers, no The heavy cruisers were sunk, but three light cruisers were lost.

In terms of destroyers, nine were sunk.

In terms of aircraft carriers, four Qi Bolin-class aircraft carriers have been away from the battlefield and were not injured. However, carrier-based aircraft were lost. Nearly eighty aircraft were lost. This is already a considerable loss for the aircraft carrier formation.

Compared with the victory achieved by the Third Reich Navy, such a loss is undoubtedly insignificant.

This also makes the Third Reich Navy’s Basically, there was not much loss in strength.

After this naval battle, the Third Reich Navy had become the most powerful navy in the world after annihilating the Royal Navy.

"There won't be any discrepancies in the statistics of victory results, right?"Marshal Redl asked.

This battle report will be sent to the empire's ruling Hess.

If there are any major mistakes, the problem will be serious once they are investigated afterwards.

"Your Excellency, Marshal, there is basically nothing wrong."General Albrecht said.

Marshal Redl nodded:"Okay, then let's send a telegram to the country."

"Yes, Your Majesty Marshal!"General Albrecht replied

"After this battle, with the current 17 capital ships and the huge military strength of four aircraft carriers, the Imperial Navy has become the veritable number one maritime power. Other countries, whether it is the Eagle Country or the Eastern Empire, cannot compare with the Empire. As the Imperial Navy puts more aircraft carriers into service, it gets more capital ships from other countries. This will make the empire's hegemony more stable. No country can even think of challenging the empire’s hegemony!"Marshal Redel said confidently._
