"35 enemy ships, heading 070, and speed 20 knots; among them, there are 2 small aircraft carriers, 1 seaplane aircraft carrier, 10 battleships, 11 cruisers, and 11 destroyers!"

When Chen Yanlong went to Denitz's aircraft carrier fleet, the aircraft carrier fleet led by Marshal Hithofen was about to return to Italy, and also detected the existence of the British and American fleets in the Mediterranean waters, and was also watching the scout's report telegram.

However, this British and American fleet did not come from the Ligurian Sea, Adriatic Sea, or the Ionian Sea near Italy.

They came from the Pacific Ocean to track the aircraft carrier fleet led by Marshal Hithofen, and they also fought with Marshal Hithofen's aircraft carrier fleet several times. They also circled a large circle from the Pacific Ocean, penetrated into the Atlantic Ocean, and then came to the Mediterranean.

But even so, the naval reconnaissance planes sent by Marshal Hithofen still found their traces.

The U.S. general who commanded this fleet turned out to be just a Rear Admiral, named Robert A. Theobord.

Instead of the famous five-star Navy admiral Ernest Joseph King, William Daniel Lech, and Chester William Nimitz.

Or other admirals, such as William Frederick Halsey, Thomas Charles Hart, Hasbond Edward Kimmel; Thomas Carson Kincaid, and Raymond Ames Spruins, and Rich Slow Kelly Turner...

Of course, even if these famous generals are not used, they should be able to dispatch famous lieutenant generals, such as: Harry W. Sear, George D. Morrie, Mark A. Michel, John H. Taurs; Patrick N. L. Bellinger, and Charles www. Cook, Richard S. Edwards...

The reason why President Roosevelt dispatched Robert A. Theobord was because he was the one who discovered Marshal Hithoven's aircraft carrier fleet.

So when Roosevelt learned about the existence of Marshal Hithofen's aircraft carrier fleet, he didn't even think about it and immediately pulled out the Pacific Fleet of Robert A. Theobord and his 8th special mixed fleet, namely two heavy cruisers, three light cruisers, nine destroyers, six submarines, and three cruise ships, from the Pacific Fleet commanded by General Chester Nimitz, tracked Marshal Hithofen's aircraft carrier fleet for in-depth exploration.

Who knew that the more Major General Theobord followed Marshal Hithoven's aircraft carrier fleet, the further he ran, and was approved by President Roosevelt.

However, when Major General Theobord found that he had followed the other party to the Atlantic Ocean, he was worried that the other party would lure the enemy into the depths and kill him, so he immediately asked President Roosevelt for reinforcements.

Perhaps because Roosevelt learned that Marshal Hithoven's aircraft carrier fleet seemed to be in the direction of Sicily, Italy, he decisively asked Hewitt to dispatch some aircraft carriers, battleships, cruisers, and destroyers to Major General Theobord from the large fleet where they were.

For this reason, Major General Theobord's 8th special mixed fleet suddenly changed from more than 10 ships to more than 3-more ships.

As for the emergence and movements of Marshal Hithofen's aircraft carrier fleet, after receiving this news, Hewitt was anxious to know more news.

Because he could not imagine that the German army had secretly formed an aircraft carrier fleet and secretly went to the Pacific Ocean to conduct a secret transaction with the Japanese army.

In fact, not only Hewitt, but also President Roosevelt and the entire US Navy were shocked, his heartbeat accelerated and he was very frightened.

Because, but a Japanese Navy has already caused their Pacific Fleet to suffer heavy casualties and a headache.

And now an unexpected German aircraft carrier fleet suddenly emerged, and I still don’t know the details of the other party.

Faced with such a sudden battle situation, why didn’t the entire US military executives panic?

Although their fleet has not had a head-on battle with Marshal Hithoven's aircraft carrier fleet so far, or even a tentative battle has not begun; even so, the top leaders of the US military have already classified the German aircraft carrier fleet as a highly dangerous role, and should be 100% vigilant and investigated.

So when Major General Theoborde's 8th special fleet was temporarily expanded and supported, President Roosevelt's first order to explore the true strength of the German aircraft carrier force, the performance of weapons and equipment, and the number of units within 24 hours.

Major General Theobord also attached great importance to this, because he knew very clearly that President Roosevelt's attitude towards the European battlefield was much more serious than that on the Pacific battlefield.

As President Roosevelt said to his Finance Minister Henry Morgenthau Jr.: "I would rather lose New Zealand, Australia, and even Hawaii, I would rather Hitler occupy the entire Europe, nor would I want Stalin and Churchill to be defeated. And as long as we can defeat Hitler's German army on the European battlefield, we can use the assistance of the British fleet to defeat the Japanese army within 6 weeks!"

"Even the Soviet army does not need to take action, we can defeat the Japanese! Hitler and his German army are our main and strongest enemies!"

Although Major General Theobord also disagreed with Roosevelt's strategic deployment first Europe and then Asia, he did not object.

For him, no matter whether it is the Japanese or German army, as long as it is a black sheep, he will have no choice but to carry out the war of resistance.

So when President Roosevelt was tested for war, he immediately dispatched a squadron of US military Pby-5a Caterina seaplanes to the area of ​​Marshal Hithoven's aircraft carrier fleet for detection and survey.

Of course, in addition to these water reconnaissance planes, he also dispatched more than 30 P2a-3 fighters, SB2-u3 reconnaissance-bombers, SBD-2 fearless dive bombers, and 17 F4f-3 carrier-based fighters to assist in reconnaissance and tentative attacks.

In less than 3 minutes of attack, Marshal Hithofen, who had been sending reconnaissance aircraft to closely monitor him, received the attacks from these US aircraft, and the location where they assisted was 087 and the distance was 3,000 meters.

"These U.S. troops finally couldn't stand to attack us anymore. Should we send carrier-based aircraft to fight back immediately? Marshal Hithofen"

Naval combat staff, Ryan Hill and Marshal Hithofen, followed the information and then he respectfully proposed.

"Of course we have to fight back. We have been followed by them for so long along the way. If they don't give them any color to see, they would think our German navy is particularly easy to bully!"

Marshal Hithofen's eyes flashed and he said with a strong smile on his face.

It seemed as if he hoped that a big naval battle would break out immediately so that he could start a big killing and make him happy.

"Yes! Marshal Hithofen!"

Seeing the other party's cheerful look, Navy combat staff member Ryan Hill was also excited and responded happily with a sharpening look.

"Then why do we fight back now?"

Then, Navy combat staff member Ryan Hill continued to inquire.

"Send 50 F4f Wildcat fighters to meet them for a while! Let's use their carrier-based aircraft to surprise them! When they compete seriously, we will use our new carrier-based aircraft F-8d carrier-based aircraft to take them all over! Just wipe out them all!"

Marshal Hithofen said with a sharp look and a bright smile on his face.

It seemed as if at this moment he was talking about not about combat deployment, but about some very happy things.

"Well! I know how to do it, Marshal Hithofen!"

Naval combat staff member Ryan Hill nodded respectfully and agreed.

"By the way, Marshal! I have a question that I have never understood, that is why I have to let this US fleet follow us from the Pacific Ocean to the Mediterranean, and they have also replenished a lot of ships and aircraft carriers!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Navy combat staff member Ryan Hill suddenly changed his subject and asked.

"Because this is the order of the head of state, he wants to annihilate more US fleets and aircraft carriers!"

"Of course, our exposure is also risky, at least we have lost the sudden battle of the surprise soldiers! However, the head of state has regarded Marshal Denitz's aircraft carrier fleet as a surprise attack on the British and American fleets in Sicily. As for us, we are now the targets to attract British and American fleets, attract their attention, and thus, Marshal Denitz's surprise attack can unexpectedly achieve unexpected good results!"

He said frankly about the naval combat staff officer Ryan Hill, who was in front of him.

But even so, he still hid the strength of Denitz's aircraft carrier fleet, attacks, and hidden places.
