Chapter 2159： Deployment (1/2)
(Page 1/1)
”The other way is to cross the Danish Sea, enter the Norwegian Sea, and then return to the mainland through the British north blockade. Although this does not have to face minefields and submarine ambushes, it is beyond the cover of our aviation forces. Range, and the North Sea blockade may be attacked by British air forces based in the Shetland Islands, and it is very likely to face the interception of the British fleet. If this is the case, the main fleet must go forward to respond.” General You analyzed.
Admiral Schel’s analysis is very reasonable. The current situation of the Mediterranean Fleet is very similar to the situation of the German Navy in the 2nd World War before the Thunder Therbrus. It is a fleet that wants to return to Germany and the route is also the same. Both lines have their own advantages and disadvantages. Walking through the English Channel is mainly to face submarines and mines, while walking through the North Sea is to face the interception of British aviation forces and the large fleet.
”In principle, I tend to take the Danish Strait-Norwegian Sea route. If we plan properly, then we can hope to make a break with the British fleet on a battlefield that is beneficial to us!” Ruprech Special said.
”Do you mean that the Mediterranean fleet will be used as bait to attract the British fleet when necessary?” Earl Spey asked. ”If my sacrifice can be exchanged for the destruction of the British fleet, then it is my honor.”
”It's not that bad. We will try our best to help the Mediterranean fleet. It may even include an aircraft carrier. It is not a half-cargo used by the Su Xiong fleet in the Indian Ocean, but a real aircraft carrier. Maybe we can't provide much output to the sea. But it is sufficient to provide reconnaissance and air defense for the fleet,” Ruprecht said.
”A real aircraft carrier? Is it American?” Earl Spey asked.
”Yes, the Americans want to catch the last bus before the end of the war. Train their fleet. You will meet in the Atlantic and then together in France, where you can get to know each other for about two weeks. ”Ruprecht said.
”This is really good news. I can go back now to prepare for the fleet to enter the Atlantic Ocean.” Count Spey said.
”Don't worry, we have other things to do. It may take a while to complete these things,” Ruprecht said.
On the afternoon of the end of the meeting, Ruprecht had a meeting with the Norwegian representative who had just visited, the former Prime Minister Gunnar Knudsen. This is Ruprecht’s first meeting with a representative of this Nordic country, and the content of the meeting has a very important impact on the development of the entire war situation and the post-war form.
”Dear Prince Ruprecht, His Royal Highness the Regent of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, I came to Germany this time to show you Norway’s attitude. We have no intention of getting involved in any confrontation and game between major powers. We are just one A neutral country, and your request is to send an aviation team to Norway and build a large temporary airport, which has broken our country’s neutrality.” Gunnar Knudsen said carefully. Now the war situation is very clear. Facing the German Empire that is about to rule the entire European continent, Knell is very scared! If it is not necessary, he is not willing to offend the crown prince of the German Empire and the regent of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
