The British were in a state of turmoil, and the Germans were not having a good time. What the British didn't know was that this time the voyage attacked the British fleet, Lütjens did not go smoothly.

As the saying goes, how can I not get wet when I often stand by the river? The German Navy frequently dispatched in the port of Brest, but in fact, the British Navy's attack on port of Brest did not stop for a moment.

Lütjens was proud and led his guerrilla fleet to sea from the port of Brest on November 29. As a result, as soon as he went out to sea, the German Navy lost the cruiser Nuremberg that was exploring the way.

That night, Nuremberg, as the pioneer of the fleet, slowly sailed out of Brest, followed by the battlecruiser of the Schánhorst, and then the flagship aircraft carrier Zeppelin.

The German fleet was not rich at all. Apart from the USS Bismarck battleship that was under emergency repair, this time it still came out in full swing.

As a result, at around 9 o'clock in the evening, a loud noise suddenly came in front of the fleet, and then the cruiser Nuremberg rose into flames and seemed to be seriously injured.

This cruiser, which has been a personal guard of the USS Zeppelin aircraft carrier, has been hitting a mine outside the port of Brest...

A mine explosion arranged by the British Navy directly affected the itinerary of the German guerrilla fleet. The final operation, which was scheduled for the 29th, had to be postponed to the 30th.

The entire bow of the poor cruiser Nuremberg was blown into the sky by mines, 41 naval officers and soldiers were killed and 47 were injured.

Other German warships had to reverse and return to Brest. The German army was busy all night before dragging the cruiser Nuremberg, which had been severely damaged by water, back to Brest.

As a result, even more tragic things continue to torture the Nuremberg - because the ships are all used to build submarines or repair other ships, the Nuremberg will have to wait a few days before it can start repairs...

Therefore, the German Navy guerrilla fleet, whose strength was once again damaged, had to give up the Nuremberg and take the remaining warships to sea again.

Therefore, the existing troops Lütjens can be said to be the trough of the guerrilla fleet. The entire fleet only has five battleships, Zeppelin, Prince Eugen, Schánhorst, Gneisenau and Tirbitz.

Such a small guerrilla fleet set out the next day, and with the tragic revenge of the cruiser Nuremberg, they entered the Atlantic Ocean and severely damaged the ck-4 transport fleet.

Today, now, Lütjens and his old partner Hines are sailing to the east coast of the United States, preparing to intercept the newly discovered British uk-2 transport fleet there.

This fleet is a transport fleet from the United States to the United Kingdom, transporting a large amount of valuable supplies. As soon as it appeared, it was discovered by the cruising German submarines.

If Lütjens' guerrilla fleet was not behind him, German submarines rarely conducted reconnaissance and patrol in such a high position.

Because patrolling in such places often loses the intercepting position after discovering the target, and can only watch the prey go away.

But now, German submarines have specially arranged patrols to guide the way for the maneuverable and flexible guerrilla fleet behind them. Fleets with speeds of more than 20 knots, coupled with carrier-based attack aircraft, interception and attack are naturally faster and more convenient.

Although we know that the German fleet is raging on the Atlantic Ocean, neither the United Kingdom nor the United States can suspend the dispatch of fleets to Britain.

In order to maintain the operation of the British mainland, even if it bet on the 30% chance that it would not be discovered in advance by a German submarine, the UK did not dare to easily suspend the transportation of blood transfusions to the local area.

"Crash!" Because the sea conditions were not good, the bow of the German warship was washed away by the waves that were rushing towards him from time to time. The white waves splashed and shattered on the bow of the Atlantic Ocean.

The carrier-based aircraft on the Zeppelin aircraft carrier have been covered with waterproof canvas at this moment. The carrier-based aircraft are all delicate equipment, and only daily maintenance can it burst out in combat power when needed.

"It looks like it's going to rain again!" Hines said to Lütjens beside him, looking at the gray sky.

Although his fleet sank many transport ships of the British ck-4 transport fleet yesterday, Lütjens's mood did not improve.

He was still thinking about the Nuremberg, which was blown up by mines, and was worried about the future of the German guerrilla fleet he commanded, whose strength had declined significantly.

"Yes!" Absent-mindedly, Lütjens replied to Hines. He did not even retract his gaze looking into the distance, looking very anxious.

"What? Are you still worried about the cruiser Nuremberg?" Hines knew his colleagues very well and comforted him: "It will always be repaired and rejoined the battle! Don't worry!"

"Our battle has just begun! The first cruise battle was only held in November... As a result, the battleship Bismarck was damaged and now it has lost Nuremberg!" Lütjens vented his worries.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at Hines beside him: "You are also a major general... don't you think that our enemy is too powerful?"

While saying that, Lütjens stretched out his finger: "We sank several enemy warships, but the enemy is still strong... When the enemy sinks one of our warships, we are weakened a lot!"

"Aren't you worried that in this way, although we have the advantage of consumption, although we are weak, we can win all the battles, but we are consumed completely before the enemy?" When he said this, Lütjens once again expressed his worries.

Hines nodded and continued to comfort him: "Worry and fear cannot solve the problem. The Head of State gave us a chance to win. Whether we can seize such an opportunity depends on ourselves."

"Think about the next time, the battleship Bismarck will return to the team, and the chances of us being able to defeat the British Navy will be even greater!" Hines became even more determined when talking about the head of state.

After the crazy indoctrination of the head of state and witnessing the rise of naval aviation with his own eyes, Hines believed that he could win the idea that he could follow the head of state and firmly believed that he could win the war by following the head of state's arrangements.

Although he didn't know why, Lütjens now believes in similar things - he felt that the head of state could really see through the future and lead the German nation to glory!

So he is now fighting firmly and attacking the British transportation line desperately. Because he is convinced that as long as he completes the head of state's plan, the head of state can completely defeat Britain.

"You are right! Worrying now is useless." Lütjens listened to Hines' persuasion and at least walked out of the shadow on the surface.

He squeezed a smile at Hines and said, "We can only accumulate greater advantages by sinking more British ships now!"

"Yes! At least before our last warship is sunk, we will sink the last British warship!" Hines said in an encouraging tone.

Hearing Hines' encouragement, Lütjens nodded and instructed the officers in the distance, saying, "Stay on the route! When the radar searches to find the target, change the route immediately!"

They are a pair of partners who have already figured out their tempers. During the long sailing time, they comforted and encouraged each other, made up for each other's shortcomings, and exerted more powerful power in the battle.

"I heard that the Japanese are very interested in our tactics? They also sent special envoys to find the head of state to seek our naval aviation tactics?" After temporarily letting go of the hidden worries in his heart, Lütjens talked about another thing with Hines beside him.

The Japanese allies who came from afar seemed very envious of the achievements made by the Germans on the Atlantic Ocean. They asked to visit German aircraft carriers and even proposed all the records and reports of taking away several naval battles.

"Yes! The head of state is still willing to help the Japanese... but I heard that there are really many conditions." Hines didn't know the specific details, after all, this thing is a high-level secret.

However, it is related to the top naval leadership and has direct relationship with the naval aviation. Hines still knows some inside information: "I heard that Marshal Redell has ordered the relevant departments to sort out a set of records and hand them over to the Japanese to take them away."

"Isn't this a normal thing to support the expansion of allies in Asia, to restrain the United States and some of the British forces? Why did the Head of State make so many requests?" Lütjens also heard some inside information.

For example, the head of state asked Japan for a series of strategic materials such as steel, rubber, wood, etc. I heard that the head of state also asked Japan for design drawings for the Japanese aircraft carrier... It hurts for Japan when I listened to it.

Some people even swear words of word of mouth, saying that most of these materials in Japan were transported from the Far East by Soviet railway to Germany. And the drawings of aircraft carriers and other drawings were arranged to transport a submarine specifically.

The rumored people are justified and well-founded, but the specificity is not something that Hines and Lütjens can know.

In fact, Li Le also asked for an extra drawing, which is what really hurts Japan - the design drawing of the largest laboratory centrifuge in the University of Tokyo, Japan!

With this design drawing, comparing it with your own domestic centrifuge, Germany's research in the atomic field can avoid many detours, and studying the process of the atomic bomb can speed up.

"Sir! The search radar on the battlecruiser Schanehorst on the right side of the fleet discovered the British fleet!" An officer came over and interrupted the gossip and chatted between the two.

Lütjens immediately entered the state and began to exercise his fleet commander's duties: "Let the left-wing Gneisenau approach me! The fleet turns right and leans towards the British transport fleet!"
Chapter completed!
