Jagged Germany

  Germany and the United States, two powerful countries in the world, dispatched their navy to confront each other in the Atlantic Ocean, and there is a great possibility of war. This undoubtedly attracted the attention of the world. Originally, the war between the Allied Powers and the Entente Powers was hailed as a battle for new world hegemony. Originally, Germany had already gained the upper hand in this war.

  But now, the United States unexpectedly shows signs of joining, which undoubtedly makes this war more complicated and confusing. With the power of Germany, it has already gained the upper hand in the war with Britain and France. But if the United States joins in, whether this advantage can be maintained is very difficult to say.

   It's just that anyone with a discerning eye knows it. Americans unless their brains are caught by the door. Otherwise, they would never be involved in the war at this juncture. Because, judging from the strong strength shown by Germany, even if the United States joins the war, it will be difficult to defeat Germany. At least, for a short time, Germany will still have the upper hand. By the time the industrial strength of the United States is transformed into military strength, Britain and France may not be able to persist. At that time, even if the United States is fully fired, it will still not be able to defeat Germany. The Atlantic Ocean is not only a natural barrier for the United States, but also restricts the outward development of the United States. Because, if the United States wants to project military power externally, it also needs to cross the Atlantic Ocean. This is simply not possible without the support of a strong navy.

  Although the strength of the U.S. Navy is very strong, the potential for the future is also great. However, compared with the German navy that is now in full swing, there is still a big gap. This is the reason why the US government had to take such measures.

  In the Atlantic Ocean in February, the temperature is very low and the sea water is cold.

  A submarine of the German Navy is cruising in the mid-Atlantic waters. Although, the range of the German submarine is not too far. However, with the support of a large number of submarine supply ships, the German Navy's submarine force can still expand its activities to the mid-Atlantic waters, and even directly advance to the east coast of the United States. However, the United States and Germany are not at war, so apart from the occasional German submarine that will appear in the eastern waters of the United States, the main area of ​​activity of the German Navy's submarine force is still the East Atlantic waters, especially the waters near the United Kingdom, especially the waters of Germany. Hunting area for the submarine force. In the past few months, countless British merchant ships have been sunk by them.

"Boss, we haven't found anything yet. What are the guys above thinking that we're going here to search for the US fleet. The Atlantic is so big, who knows which route the Americans will take?" A submariner confronted the boat. Major Doenitz said.

   "Perhaps those Americans have been scared and fled back! After all, this time we can be said to be the main force!"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Now that the order above has been issued, do we have other options besides executing the order? Do you want to disobey the order? We have found traces of the US fleet. For us, It's still a great achievement," Major Doenitz said.

  Although, he also believes that searching the US fleet in the Atlantic Ocean is like finding a needle in a haystack. But he also knew that if he wanted to intercept the US fleet, he had to discover the US fleet first. For this reason, the German Navy sent a large number of submarines and light warships to the depths of the Atlantic Ocean to search for the US fleet.

  Major Doenitz and his submarine have been sailing on the surface of the sea and have not dived. Because in this way, the submarine can maintain a high speed and search a larger area.

  Perhaps it is the reason why God favors Major Doenitz. This time, their luck was also better.

   At noon on February 27, Major Doenitz's submarine spotted the US fleet in the mid-Atlantic waters.

   "God! Did the Americans send out all their property?" Doenitz couldn't help sighing when he saw the huge fleet in the distance.

   "I really don't know if the Americans want to go to war with the empire. However, if they dare to go to war with the empire, the imperial navy can easily destroy them!"

  Major Dönitz nodded. Indeed, although the US fleet is very strong, there is still a huge gap between it and the Imperial Navy.

   "Send a telegram to the flagship immediately, we have found the Americans." Major Doenitz ordered.

  The submarine will soon report the news of the discovery of the US fleet to the battlecruiser "Mackenson", the flagship of the broken fleet. Vice Admiral Spee, ordered them to continue to follow the American fleet. At the same time, mobilize the fleet to rush to the location of the US fleet.

  Although the speed of the submarine is not fast, if the US fleet keeps cruising at a low speed, there is no problem keeping up with them. But it is a pity that Major Dönitz and the others tracked the US fleet for a day before they were discovered. The U.S. Navy sent several destroyers to chase them away. Under unavoidable circumstances, Major Dönitz had no choice but to order the submarine to dive to avoid it. When they came up again, there was no trace of the American fleet.

   However, since the traces of the US fleet have been exposed, it is obviously impossible to hide it any longer.

   On March 1, a German submarine once again spotted the traces of the US fleet. However, at that time, the American fleet was not far from the British mainland.

"General, we have spotted the Americans. They are about 600 kilometers west of the island of Ireland. At their current speed, it is estimated that they will be able to reach the no-sail zone we designated tomorrow." A staff officer reported to Lieutenant General Spee road.

   "Command the fleet, move forward at full speed, and be sure to intercept the Americans." Lieutenant General Spee ordered.

   "Yes, General. However, in terms of time, we may be too late."

   "Which warship is the closest to the Americans?" Vice Admiral Spee asked.

   "The light cruiser 'Konigsberg'."

   "Let the light cruiser 'Konigsberg' rush over immediately and entangle the Americans. Find a way to buy us enough time." Lieutenant General Spee ordered.

   "Yes, General."

   However, it is undoubtedly very difficult to entangle the US fleet of as many as 12 battleships with a light cruiser with a displacement of less than 5,000 tons. However, this is also impossible. You can't let the US fleet break into the no-fly zone designated by Germany just because the main fleet can't arrive in time, right?

   After receiving the order, the light cruiser 'Konigsberg' immediately rushed to the predetermined sea area.
