Jagged Germany

  In the western waters of the Atlantic Ocean, a huge fleet is sailing on the sea. The capital ships and aircraft carriers are divided into multiple fleets according to different formations and lined up on the sea, looking mighty.

  In order to ensure the safety of these capital ships and aircraft carriers, the U.S. Navy deployed a large number of cruisers and destroyers to provide air defense and anti-submarine protection for these capital ships and aircraft carriers. After all, the performance of the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft is stronger than that of the US Navy. The submarines of the German Navy are densely distributed in the Atlantic Ocean. Although the United States has not yet officially declared war on Germany, the U.S. Navy has already made a big move, and all fools know that the U.S. Navy is going to the German Navy. Therefore, once the submarines of the German Navy find an opportunity, they will inevitably attack the US fleet.

The flagship of the U.S. fleet is also the flagship of the 1st aircraft carrier formation, the "Essex" aircraft carrier. Carrier aircraft, instead of capital ships, have become the real main force of the navy. You know, the U.S. Navy plans to build thirty-two ships. If the performance of this aircraft carrier is not good enough, will the U.S. Navy make up its mind to build so many ships?

  On the USS Essex, Admiral Nimitz and Lieutenant General Halsey were chatting.

   After the fleet entered the Atlantic Ocean, it has been in radio silence to ensure that their position will not be found by the German Navy's radio monitoring equipment. Once traces are found, it will undoubtedly mean that there will be a fierce battle. After all, in a naval battle where aircraft carrier-based aircraft are the main means of attack, launching an attack first means being able to occupy a great advantage.

   Admiral Nimitz stood on the island of the "Essex" battleship, looking at the busy flight deck and the mighty fleet, he was undoubtedly very excited. He was full of pride in being able to command such a large fleet. Of course, at the same time, he can also feel how heavy the responsibility is on his shoulders. It can be said that in this naval battle, the U.S. Navy is desperate. If it fails, the U.S. Navy will be completely finished. Even the United States will lose completely in this war. Therefore, Admiral Nimitz told himself that they must not lose in this naval battle, and must do their best to win this naval battle.

   "General, it is still too reluctant to start a war with the German navy. Our strength is not enough to form an advantage over the German navy!" Lieutenant General Halsey sighed.

   Admiral Nimitz nodded, he knew what Lieutenant General Halsey meant. In terms of the number of aircraft carriers and capital ships, the U.S. Navy does not have an advantage. In terms of the performance of carrier-based aircraft, they also do not have an advantage. Under such circumstances, in a decisive battle with the German Navy, the difficulty of winning can be imagined.

If you can wait for a period of time until the U.S. Navy has served more aircraft carriers, and F4U fighters have completely replaced F4F fighters and become the main force of the U.S. Navy’s carrier-based fighter jets, then the possibility of the U.S. Navy defeating the German Navy is about Much bigger.

  Although the German Navy is also rapidly building aircraft carriers, judging from the information obtained by the U.S. Navy, the construction speed of the German Navy is not as fast as that of the U.S. Navy.

  In the US shipyard, there are still 12 "Essex-class" aircraft carriers under construction. In addition, there are a full 12 "Essex-class" aircraft carriers, which are planning to start construction. After entering the wartime system, more and more shipyards will begin to join the construction of warships, which will greatly accelerate the speed of the US Navy's construction of warships. In that case, the strength of the U.S. Navy will become stronger and stronger, and it is not impossible to catch up with the German Navy. After all, in the German Navy's shipyard, there are only four aircraft carriers under construction in the "Lord God-class" aircraft carrier, and the first batch of "Nordic God-class" aircraft carriers. The second batch of four ships is also being planned for construction.

The reason is that although Germany's industry is very strong, in addition to the navy's need to consume a lot of resources, the army's tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, guns, ammunition and trucks, and the air force's fighter jets, bombers, and transport aircraft also need a lot of resources. . Even the helicopters that Germany is mass-producing, as well as the transport ships, tank landing ships, and amphibious assault ships that the Navy is building, require a lot of resources. This also makes it impossible for Germany to use all its resources in the construction of aircraft carriers. The progress of aircraft carrier construction has also been affected. But even so, the German Navy believes that they can rely on their existing advantages to defeat the challenges of any other country.

   But unfortunately, the current situation is not good for the United States, and the United States does not have so much time. Therefore, they had to enter the war as soon as possible and find a way to defeat Germany as soon as possible. Otherwise, the United States may have to fight alone by then.

"General Halsey, there is no way. Our enemies are gradually defeating our allies. Under the German attack, our allies are almost unable to hold on. Therefore, at this time we must You have to fight." Admiral Nimitz said helplessly.

  As the general of the navy, he naturally hopes to launch an attack after he is fully prepared. But, at the same time, he was able to understand President Roosevelt. For the overall consideration, launching an attack now is the best choice. However, this also put the US Navy under tremendous pressure. They must try their best to win the game.

   "Your Excellency, a telegram from the country!" A staff officer reported.

   After Admiral Nimitz read the telegram, his face suddenly became serious.

   After Lieutenant General Halsey noticed Admiral Nimitz's expression, he also had a bad feeling in his heart.

   "What's the matter? General." Lieutenant General Halsey asked.

"General Halsey, it seems that the Germans are more cautious than we imagined! According to the information just obtained, the main force of the German Navy has been dispatched. The German Navy's home fleet, Atlantic Fleet and Mediterranean Fleet have all been dispatched. This Once, we might be in trouble!" Admiral Nimitz said with a wry smile.

   "What? Even the German Mediterranean fleet has been dispatched?" Lieutenant General Halsey was also taken aback. Obviously, the German Navy dispatched the Mediterranean Fleet, which means that the German Navy is preparing for a decisive battle with the US Navy.
