The Third Reich in Desperation

The Imperial Navy and the Royal Navy, the Third Reich and the Empire on which the sun never sets, as the most shining poles among the four poles of Europe, finally launched their first confrontation in the offshore waters of Norway, a third country.

"If it's judged by journalists who like propaganda," the cheerful Lütjens said leisurely, "Maybe they should say that this battle... will kick off the climax of the naval battle of World War II." It's the end."

No wonder Lütjens is in such a happy mood.Using the carrier-based aircraft of two large aircraft carriers as fists, using surprise means to deal with a fleet that doesn't even have an aircraft carrier, this is almost the most ideal situation.

Sure enough, the two waves of attack aircraft commanded by Lütjens used lightning speed to cover their ears from the beginning, and completed a lightning attack on the British fleet in Narvik Post.Many of the British sailors, who had just experienced the Norwegian victory and relaxed, hadn't even left the rest room when their fighter planes appeared.Their anti-aircraft firepower also did not play its due role due to the large number of personnel not in place.

The FW-190 and Stuka who came one after another gloated and dropped all the torpedoes, explosives, and rockets at the first time, causing a devastating blow to the British warships in the port.

Taking advantage of the Norwegians' slack over the weekend, the Royal Navy launched a sneak attack.Now, it was the turn of the Imperial Navy to take advantage of their sleepiness in the early morning and launch a surprise attack.

The four destroyers of the British army, even under the first wave of fw-4's dense explosive projection, were deliberately aimed at the fw-190 and hit the ammunition depot and turned into a cloud of fireworks.

The second batch of professional bombing brigades that arrived immediately focused on taking care of three British battleships, sinking them with rain-like bombing.

The commanders of the three destroyers, which were scarred but at least not sunk, after witnessing this hellish scene, chose to surrender in order not to make unnecessary sacrifices......

It's hard to imagine how shocking Lütjens's complete annihilation of a small and medium fleet of 3 cruisers and 7 destroyers in the British Empire will cause in the near future.Not only did the Third Reich win, it also won the proudest naval battle of the Empire on which the sun never sets.Except for 6 crashed FW-190 fighters and 1 injured Stuka and 4 FW-190s, no battleship was lost, but 3 destroyers of the British Empire were captured, and about 4 soldiers were captured at one time. British prisoners of war as free labour.

In World War II, the first time the German surface fleet showed its sword, it fought a classic surprise attack that was enough to be included in the textbook of the Naval Academy.Lütjens, with this battle, will also become the idol of contemporary naval sailors of various countries.

A German admiral!

Now that Britain left behind in the First World War, famous admirals such as Betty's world are withering.In the Third Reich, which had always been considered to have only a "navy", the first dazzling general of the new generation was born first.

In a rainbow operation, Germany almost lost the main force of an entire generation of navy.But now, the navy of this country has been revived again.From the hopeless situation of withering and defeat, they returned to their fixed position in Europe.

Although today's battle can only be regarded as a partial battle, the Imperial Navy is far from being able to completely defeat the Royal Navy.However, this is still a glorious victory worthy of praise.

What the Spanish Armada failed to achieve, what the French Napoleon’s fleet failed to achieve, and the regret left by the German High Seas Fleet 20 years ago, today, with Lütjens’s generation, it has been achieved!

The imperial navy on which the sun never sets, that invincible myth, ends today, at the feet of the German Third Reich.

Looking at the 2 British warships that were taken back by the sailors of the 1st Squadron (the other one was too seriously injured and could not be taken away, it was left in Narvik after being unloaded by the German army with important parts and naval guns Gangnei), Lütjens first felt that it was not the kind of ecstasy he thought he would experience.

Lütjens turned on the communication broadcast on the flagship "Tirpitz", letting his somewhat hoarse voice echo in this sea area.

"20 years...20 years of forbearance and humiliation, finally today...by us personally!"

Everyone was paying attention, listening carefully to every word Raeder said now.This time, it was not a bragging to boost morale, but a victory speech of relief after a real victory.

"Today, I once again saw the unyielding fighting spirit of Scapa Flow back then, and found those proud souls of Jutland. In the dark, it seems that there are countless pairs of eyes watching us all the time, never leaving... …”

"That is the heroic soul of the ancestors!"

There was no noise from anyone except Lütjens on the radio.People clenched their fists in silence, trembling slightly.

They have waited too long for this day.It was so long that they almost forgot how hot their blood was at the beginning!

"With the encouragement they left behind, with the expectations they gave... we fight!" Lütjens trembled excitedly, shouting: "This time, we fight! And We will fight until the last moment, the moment of victory!"

"We fight!" Countless officers and soldiers standing upright shouted with all their strength.

In the past 20 years, they have never stood up so confidently as today.

That somewhat shriveled chest finally stood up again today!

Text Chapter 297 Reinhardt's Allies

News of Lütjens' victory in Narvik spread quickly throughout Europe.Everyone was shocked by this bold attack by the Third Reich.

The news of the invasion of Norway by the British and French forces and the news of the German surprise attack on the British fleet appeared one after another, only one day apart.

What is even more dramatic is that the day before, the British army was still celebrating that they had captured the Norwegian town of Narvik. As a result, the next day, they became Narvik's shackles and were attacked by the German army.The people were surprised to find that in this unpredictable world war, even a superpower like Britain could not win all wars.

It has to be said that the stabbing by the German High Seas Fleet was accurate and ruthless.After the British army of a division in the north had just achieved a tactical breakthrough, the maritime supply line behind them was abruptly cut off.

Although Lütjens' fleet did not stop in Narvik, they looted all the supplies hoarded by the British Expeditionary Force in Narvik.Without the follow-up materials, the British division fighting on the front line will have to change its combat strategy and wait for the delivery of the next batch of materials, or go south as soon as possible to join another British and French expeditionary force group with sufficient materials.

In a surprise attack, Britain lost not only the invincible myth established by the Royal Navy over the years, but also the supplies and morale of the current expeditionary force.

In response to the great victory at sea, the German Foreign Ministry, contrary to the normal state of depression and depression in the past three months, suddenly exerted force under the arrangement of Ribbentrop, and made a speech with righteous words:

"Germany strongly condemns Britain and France for blatantly violating international conventions and trampling on the sovereignty of neutral countries, and expresses sympathy and support for the Norwegian government. Germany and Norway have a profound historical friendship. Germany will never sit back and watch Norway be destroyed in a crisis, and even more The justice and axioms of the world will not be allowed to be trampled on. Germany is willing to support the great and strong Norwegian people and invaders to fight to the end. German soldiers will work with the Norwegian army to resist foreign enemies and uphold justice, whether it is at sea, on land or in the sky! "

And Reinhardt also delivered a national speech on the radio, expressing Germany's determination to assist Norway in fighting the Anglo-French coalition forces:

"Just yesterday, the Anglo-French coalition, which has always regarded itself as the righteous side, attacked and invaded Norway. There was neither a declaration of war nor an ultimatum, but the British shells suddenly fell like raindrops over the Norwegian port, and then the Anglo-French coalition launched a massive attack. landed on Norwegian soil. An hour later, the British ambassador met with the Norwegian foreign minister, saying that the two countries were at war. But it was the same ambassador who, a month earlier, had blatantly assured the Norwegians that Britain was a friend and almost an ally, Germany is the enemy of Norway!"

"What an irony, a robber pointed at the policeman and said to the people, 'Look! This is the one who harms you. Only I am the one who can help you.' Yes, this is what Churchill and his henchmen did. Logic, this is the colonialist routine of the empire on which the sun never sets, brutal and despicable!"

"Therefore, we are determined to destroy Churchill, to wipe out all traces of the colonial system. Nothing will change our resolve! On this point we will never negotiate! We will never negotiate with Churchill or any of his henchmen. We will Fight him on the land; we will fight him on the seas; we will fight him in the air, until he and his colonial influence on the world disappear, until all the colonized and oppressed freed from the yoke of the British Empire."

"Any person or country that fights against colonialism will receive our assistance. Any person or country that is in the same position as Churchill is our enemy. I advise the current British Prime Minister, Mr. Chamberlain, not to allow Churchill to Instigated by similar militants, return to your original intention and the ideal of peace that we are fighting for together. As long as you are willing to stop, the peace agreement we signed in Munich will still be valid... ..”

"It is worth pointing out that just in the early hours of this morning, the Imperial Navy went deep into the northern waters of Norway, sank seven large British warships that violated, defiled, and threatened to control Norwegian territorial waters with minimal losses, and captured two of them along the way. Our army, also at the moment of this morning, as an ally, landed on the land of Oslo, in the name of justice, and stood on the same line with the Norwegian people."

"However, this is only the beginning. If the UK cannot leave to stop their violence of bullying other countries and go its own way. Then we will use violence to counter violence and use force to destroy the evil of the colonialists. This is not a class war, it is a A war involving the whole of Germany and our allies, into which no race, no creed, no partisan is involved."

"Today, I declare here that the German Third Reich officially declares war on Britain, and the German Third Reich officially declares war on France! We will fight with all members of the Anti-Colonial Allies, and we will defend the freedom of every member of the Allies And Sovereignty!"

Since the beginning of the Polish campaign, after both Britain and France declared war on Germany, Germany, which had always avoided war, finally began to declare war on Britain and France.Not only declared war, Germany seems to have a tendency to form an alliance to fight together.

An Allied Power led by the Third Reich, wouldn't Churchill and the others have to form the Axis Powers in the future?Reinhardt, who was the first to register this good name, was secretly relieved.

Of course, whether you can win in the end has nothing to do with the name you choose.If there is no effective strategy, sufficient strength, and luck on the battlefield, even if it is named as the Fighting Buddha Alliance, it will not be victorious in the end.

Changing the name of the Axis Powers to the Allied Powers was just a personal whim of Reinhardt's and had no practical significance.What's more, there are not many members in this alliance yet.

Germany counts as one, Italy counts as one, Spain counts as half, and Norway will soon count as one.But Romania, Finland, Bulgaria and other countries have not yet sided with Germany.

If France, who is known as the number one army in Europe and even the world, can't be knocked out, if you really have the confidence to follow Germany and shout slogans to fight against imperial colonialism, it is estimated that only Norway, which has been invaded and has no choice but to join .

...........

Faced with the containment brought by Germany's occupation of moral heights, and the first huge loss of the Royal Navy in Narvik, Chamberlain, as the British Prime Minister, undoubtedly became the victim of Churchill's strategy.

MPs slammed the old man and his government for discrediting Britain politically with the world and militaryly discrediting the Royal Navy.Many members of parliament even directly called for people who understand war to lead the British Empire, and don't ruin the foundation of the Royal Navy.The implication was that until the Minister of the Navy Churchill was recommended to take office, many eager MPs openly proposed to launch a vote of no confidence in the Chamberlain government.

On the other hand, as the initiator of this war.Not only did Churchill show no remorse, but he tried to further increase the scale of the war, and quickly cooperated with the French army to occupy the entire territory of Norway to end the turmoil with the most outrageous means.In this way, some face lost by the British Empire in Narvik can also be saved...  

Chapter 298 Why don't you try

"Führer, General Lütjens is back." An excited naval liaison officer reported to Reinhardt with irrepressible excitement: "After the fleet returned to Wilhelm Naval Harbor, General Lütjens and Ray Marshal Del took the special plane together and is already on his way to Berlin."

Although he had received the news of Narvik's victory a day ago, the naval liaison officer at this moment was still very excited.The hero who created this great victory is about to return. He will return to the capital Berlin with the honor of the Navy.

Reinhardt could see the reaction of the liaison officer.He wasn't surprised by this.
