Chapter 785
Yingjiang Country is definitely the chosen country. Not only is its geographical location extremely advantageous, it is also vast and rich in resources.
The barrier between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean provides a great guarantee for the security of the Eagle Country. It is difficult for ordinary countries to pose a threat to the Eagle Country. Only a very small number of countries, such as overlords like the Third Reich, can threaten the security of the Eagle Country.
But the Eagle Country itself is also very powerful, allowing them to rely on their strong strength to protect themselves. Even if it is blocked and maritime trade lines are cut off, the Eagle Country can still persevere with its own resources.
What's more, it is not that easy to block Yingjiang Country and cut off Yingjiang Country's maritime trade lines. The Eagle Country is bordered by both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and can conduct maritime trade in both directions.
If the Third Reich wanted to blockade the Eagle Country and cut off the Sea Trade Lines of the Eagle Country, it would have to divide its forces to blockade both the east and west coasts of the Eagle Country at the same time. Not to mention that there is still a powerful Japanese Imperial Navy in the Pacific. Even if the Navy of the Eastern Empire joins the war. Once the Third Reich Navy divides its forces, it may not be that easy to gain an overwhelming advantage when facing the Eagle Navy.
Therefore, the method of blocking the Eagle Country is simply unworkable.
The Third Reich never thought of relying on blockade to defeat the Eagle Country.
There is only one way to defeat Yingjiang Country, and that is to rely on strong strength to directly push through.
In this process, the crazy counterattack of the Eagle Sauce Country will also cause the Third Reich to pay heavy losses. However, there is no way around it. If there is a war, there will be death, especially if you are fighting a powerful country like the Eagle Country.
While the Eagle Country was still speculating on the attack target of the Third Reich Navy, the Third Reich Navy Fleet had already headed straight for New Zealand Island.
After the fleet entered the Western Atlantic waters, the Third Reich's fleet strengthened its air defense and anti-submarine warfare, as well as the control of surrounding waters to ensure that their traces would not be leaked.
If they were discovered by the Eagle Country, they would be prepared to go to Newfoundland in advance. It will not be so easy for the Third Reich to succeed in this attack. In fact, a higher price will be paid.
On the evening of September 18, 1944, the Third Reich naval fleet had arrived at New Zealand Island. , according to the plan, the Third Reich Navy will launch a raid on New Fenlan Island early tomorrow morning.
Between New Zealand Blue Island and Maple Leaf Country, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
The Gulf of St. Lawrence is the anchorage of the Empire where the sun never sets.
After escaping to the Maple Leaf Kingdom, he survived and fell into the Imperial Royal Navy, hiding in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and licking his wounds. Now, there are four Lion-class battleships, four Navy-class battlecruisers, and six Majesty-class aircraft carriers.
Although financial resources are limited to support the Royal Navy's large-scale shipbuilding plan, the senior officials of the Empire are still gritting their teeth and want to restore the glory of the Royal Navy. Several capital ships and aircraft carriers are under construction at the shipyard in Quebec. However, the construction progress is very slow, and it will take a long time to wait until it is put into service. There is a high probability that he will not serve until the end of the war.
On the aircraft carrier Qi Bolin, the flagship of the Third Reich Navy, the commanders of various formations arrived here, waiting for the order to attack.
Including Marshal Alfred, the commander of the 1st aircraft carrier group, Marshal Karls, the commander of the 2nd aircraft carrier group, Admiral Otto Schneewind, the commander of the 3rd aircraft carrier group, and Admiral Wazecha, the commander of the 4th aircraft carrier group. Marshal Rolf, Commander of the 1st Battleship Group, Marshal Hermann Böhm, Commander of the 2nd Battleship Group, Admiral Otto Schulze, Commander of the 3rd Battleship Group, Admiral Wilhelm Machar, Commander of the 4th Battleship Group, Marshal Karl Witzel, commander of the cruiser group, Admiral Walter, commander of the 1st heavy cruiser group, Admiral Oscar, commander of the 2nd heavy cruiser group, as well as several light cruiser group commanders and destroyer group commanders.
It can be said that the main marshals and generals of the navy are now all gathered on the aircraft carrier Qi Bolin. If there is anything bad about this aircraft carrier, the consequences will be serious, and the Third Reich Navy may suffer heavy losses as a result.
"Marshals and generals, we have already advanced over the target. Judging from the current situation, although the Navy of the Eagle Kingdom knows that we have left the military port, it is about to launch an attack on them. However, they did not know the target of our attack. Therefore, it is naturally impossible to determine our traces. Tomorrow morning, we will launch an attack on New Fenlan Island, bomb the island's airport, shell the Imperial Army's defensive positions on the island where the sun never sets, and cover the landing of the Marine Corps."Marshal Redl said.
All the marshals and generals of the Third Reich Navy nodded repeatedly. They had read the relevant combat plans before setting off.
"This attack means that our attack on Yingjiang Country has officially begun. Then, the next step will be a huge test for us. Whether the Imperial Navy can defeat the Eagle Kingdom Navy and the remaining strength of the Imperial Royal Navy depends on this battle. More importantly, the next step is to cover the ground troops' attack on the mainland of Yingjiang Country. Perhaps, the Imperial Navy will suffer heavy losses in this battle. However, we have no choice. We are soldiers of the empire, warriors of the navy. In a battle that affects the empire's victory or defeat in this battle, we must try our best!"Marshal Redl said
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"All the marshals and generals replied one after another.
"Okay, now let’s announce the mission. The 3rd Battleship Group and the 4th Battleship Group immediately attacked and rushed to Newfoundland. The 3rd Battleship Group bombarded St. John and the surrounding area. The 4th battleship formation launched an attack on the coast of the northeastern area of New Fenlan Island to cover the landing of the Marine Corps. The 3rd Aircraft Carrier Group and the 4th Aircraft Carrier Group took off carrier-based aircraft to bomb New Fenlan Island. And be prepared to deal with the attack of the Imperial Royal Navy and even the Eagle Army Air Force. The rest of the fleet continues to be on standby."Marshal Redel ordered
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"The marshal and the generals replied.
The fleet used by Marshal Redel to attack New Fenlan Island was not large in scale. The main force of the Third Reich Navy still had to stay to prepare for the counterattack of the Eagle Navy.
In other words, the third The purpose of the Three Imperial Navy's attack on New Fenlan Island was to attract the Eagle Navy to go out to sea for a decisive battle with them._,
