Third Reich: I took over power

5 o'clock in the morning on January 7, 1940, and the sky was still dark.

On the Atlantic Ocean, the wind and waves are even higher.

One after another, seaplanes have begun to eject from heavy cruisers and battleships through slide rails.

These seaplanes will be the first wave of reconnaissance troops to set off. They will search the entire southwest, south and north waters for traces of the Royal Navy's Home Fleet.

At the very rear of the fleet, the four Qi Bolin-class aircraft carriers are also busy.

Although the wind and waves were a bit strong, the aircraft carrier was constantly shaking. However, the sailors, who had long been accustomed to the harsh sea conditions in the Atlantic, did not care. The ground crews are still preparing for the carrier-based aircraft to take off.

According to the order of Fleet Commander Marshal Redel, each aircraft carrier will take off a fighter squadron for reconnaissance.

Although, the Third Reich Navy had already taken off dozens of seaplanes. However, these seaplanes are slow and it is not easy to search such a large area of ​​​​sea.

These carrier-based aircraft will search some key sea areas. To ensure that the Royal Navy Home Fleet is not missed.

On the battleship Hindenburg, Marshal Raeder looked very tired.

Yesterday night, he only slept for three or four hours before getting up.

"What's the weather like? The wind and waves are a bit strong! Can carrier-based aircraft safely take off from an aircraft carrier?"Marshal Redl asked.

If the weather conditions do not allow the carrier-based aircraft to take off from the aircraft carrier, then it will be troublesome. This will cause the Third Reich Navy to lose a very important combat force. Even if the Third Reich Navy If you win this battle, the price you pay will probably be much greater than expected.

"Mr. Marshal, the weather conditions are indeed a bit bad. However, meteorological experts predict that the weather will improve after dawn and will not affect the takeoff of the carrier-based aircraft."General Albrecht reported

"That's good!"Marshal Redel breathed a sigh of relief.

Time passed little by little. Just after 7 o'clock in the morning, a trace of fish belly white appeared in the sky.

"call out! call out!"

One after another, the carrier-based BF-109 fighter jets taxied on the runway of the aircraft carrier, and then rushed into the sky.

After completing the formation in the air, they flew to the southeast. In this direction, the Third Reich Navy will The key search direction.

At the same time, the Royal Navy is also constantly taking off seaplanes.

From the Royal Navy's battleships and cruisers, seaplanes are released one by one.

The Royal Navy also hopes to use these aircraft to search for the third The position of the Three Reichs. Even, in order to strengthen the search power, the Royal Navy's five aircraft carriers.

Although the range and speed of these carrier-based aircraft are not as good as those of carrier-based fighter jets, they are at least a little faster than seaplanes. Yes. Search in key directions.

At the same time, the air search radar on the Royal Navy's large battleship has been turned on, constantly searching the nearby airspace.

On the flagship battleship Nelson, Admiral Charles Forbes has already gotten up. After washing, He was neatly dressed.

After a simple breakfast, he held a cup of coffee in his hand.

For a senior general of the Royal Navy, maintaining aristocratic elegance at all times seems to have become their habit. After all, The navy has always been called an aristocratic service. This is especially true among the Royal Navy.

The Royal Navy has dominated the world's oceans for hundreds of years, although in the beginning, they were just like pirates. However, over the centuries, they He had already thrown away the butcher knife in his hand, put on a dress, and pretended to be a gentleman.

Maybe after telling too many lies, he would take it seriously.

Naturally, these juniors of the Royal Navy would really tell the truth. Consider yourself a noble

"The weather conditions today are good, suitable for a decisive battle. Let the Atlantic be the burial place of the damned Germans. They have to pay the price for their ambition!"Admiral Charles Forbes put down his coffee cup.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. Sea power has never been something the Germans could covet. Last time, we killed them and destroyed their unrealistic illusions. This time, we can also defeat them and cut off their covet for sea power! Lieutenant General Arthur Powell said.

General Charles Forbes smiled, as if he was very satisfied with Lieutenant General Arthur Powell's answer.

"Very well, in this battle, let the whole world see the power of the Royal Navy. We will still be the most powerful navy in the world. No one can compare with us!"Admiral Charles Forbes seemed confident.

At 8 a.m., the air search radar reported that a reconnaissance aircraft of the Third Reich was found.

"Take off the fighter jets immediately and shoot down the reconnaissance planes of the Third Reich!"General Charles Forbes ordered

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. However, if the reconnaissance planes of the Third Reich were seaplanes, our Sea Fighters could completely kill them. But if the other party's reconnaissance aircraft is a carrier-based fighter, our Sea Fighter fighter may be a little bit weak."Said Lieutenant General Arthur Powell.

Admiral Charles Forbes's face suddenly didn't look good.

But he also knew that there was no way. Who made the performance gap between the two sides' carrier-based aircraft so big?

As expected, appeared in the sky The fighter plane in the picture is not a seaplane, but a carrier-based BF-109 fighter jet·

"Discover the main force of the Royal Navy's Home Fleet. They are located three hundred and fifty kilometers southeast of our fleet. Including 11 large surface combatants and five aircraft carriers!"The carrier-based aircraft pilots of the Third Reich immediately reported this information to the aircraft carrier.

Naturally, Marshal Redel, commander of the Third Reich Navy, learned of the news immediately.

"Order the aircraft carrier to take off carrier-based aircraft and launch an attack on the Royal Navy's home forces. Main fleet, advance at full speed!"Marshal Redl issued the order.

For a time, the battleships of the Third Reich Navy increased their speed.

Of course, because the maximum speed of the Dunkirk-class battlecruiser is only 27 knots. Therefore, these two ships The battlecruisers gradually fell behind.

The other battleships rushed toward the southeast at a speed of thirty knots.

At the same time, from the four Qi Bolin-class aircraft carriers, ships that had already been prepared to take off were Carrier aircraft have also begun to take off one after another._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel APP
