My Third Empire

One Thousand One Hundred and Twenty-Nine Demonstrations

As an existing navy, the German sea power has been accumulating its own strength. They have been unknown for a long time, but it is not that they have been inactive for such a long time. Please read the most complete! Perhaps since Germany landed in the UK, the aura of the German surface fleet has been overshadowed by the German Navy submarine force, but this cannot obliterate the German Navy's high seas fleet, which has always yearned for the ocean.

Silence does not mean giving up. During such a long period of time, the Navy has seized every opportunity to become proficient in its ability to fight in the ocean. From the voyage to Australia to the reinforcement of Gibraltar, the German navy finally mastered the essentials of ocean warfare. After the fuel supply was in place, it sharpened its sword and rushed to the east coast of the United States.

Regarding the plan to attack the east coast of the United States, both the Air Force and the Navy have their own plans. The Navy took the lead and dispatched a group of ocean wolves composed of 20 submarines to carry out a harassing attack on the east coast of the United States. However, due to the single type of arms and the lack of support from reconnaissance intelligence, the role played by this fleet is very limited, and the results obtained are not very amazing.

The Air Force has proposed to use a new type of long-range bomber to attack the continental United States, but the development of this new type of long-range bomber has not been smooth. The test flight of the six-engine large passenger aircraft developed as a civilian project was good, but some indicators still could not meet the requirements of the military, and the top brass of the Luftwaffe did not have much confidence in the bombing mission without fighter escort, so the development progress slowed down a bit.

This time the German Navy's aircraft carrier attack fleet was dispatched, which was also the highest-level secret operation within the Navy. It did not even notify the high-level commander of the fleet when it sailed, and even the captain did not know that this time it sailed to attack the east coast of the United States.

Such secrecy is mainly due to the fact that there are spies near the German port, and the information of the German navy's departure from the port will soon be known to the United States. Therefore, the German fleet first attacked the Icelandic base to confuse the opponent and prevent the United States from strengthening its vigilance on the east coast. Using the aircraft carrier fleet to engage in large-scale destructive engagements can be regarded as a more efficient form of maritime attack developed by the German Navy after enjoying the changes brought about by aircraft carriers.

Soon, the German Navy's first batch of 10 attack aircraft took off achieved their results. A transport ship traveling from Canada to the United States was sunk, and then an American destroyer was also sunk in the nearby waters At this time, the U.S. Coastline Defense Command, which received the news, realized that something was wrong.

"Send a telegram to the patrol fleet of the Royal Navy to confirm the exact location of the German fleet after it attacked Iceland!" A US Navy general looked at the damn shipwreck mark on the map of the command center and ordered loudly: " The appearance of German aircraft on the east coast of the United States... This is not good news anyway. Let the nearby naval patrol ships confirm the number and style of German aircraft as much as possible!"

"The information is too vague. The sunken destroyer reported that it was attacked by a German plane. We haven't confirmed whether it is a single-engine plane or a heavy bomber, and their radio has lost contact." Another American general said in an anxious tone. : "People in the combat department speculated that it was a German aircraft carrier. After all, it is not easy for heavy bombers to directly sink a flexible destroyer.

"

"Damn! What if it's a German bomber fleet? I need to find out if it's a new German bomber fleet! We only have 300 flak guns on the entire east coast, and if New York gets attacked, those guys in Congress will dig a hole for us They are all buried." The chief commander of the defense of the East Coast of the United States interrupted the other party, and ordered in a stern tone: "Hurry up and take off all the aircraft that can fight, I need to ensure the absolute safety of the East Coast. Call me Radar station, find the exact location of those German planes!"

"Report! The destroyer July was bombarded by a German warship! They claimed to have spotted the German fleet, and the location is within the x17 anti-submarine patrol area." An officer hurriedly rushed into the command center and handed over his message to the After leaving the generals in the headquarters, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it is not a long-range bomber from the Germans, so the problem will be solved better.

"Send a telegram to the British and ask them to dispatch the fleet stationed in Canada to try to severely damage the German fleet." While mobilizing his own forces to drive the German fleet away, the American commander also ordered the radar system to remain on alert to avoid being attacked. What loopholes did the Germans exploit? For a while, the entire east coast of the United States was mobilized. Various patrol planes and fighter jets flew across the sky, and many cruising ships were notified to avoid the German fleet.

"What are you doing? The German fleet? On the east coast?" The captain of a transport ship looked at the telegram he had just received, and looked at his subordinates beside him, dumbfounded: "Let's sail west and wait a day near Boston."

"Ahem, but Captain, our ship is full of supplies urgently needed by the UK. At this time, we will stop sailing for a day, and work there will be forced to stop..." This transport ship is a British ship, and there are also British sailors on board. After hearing this decision, the crew member said a little unwillingly: "How could the German fleet appear in such a place? Could it be that the Americans made a mistake?"

"I don't have time for us to confirm. I heard that the German fleet is nearby..." The captain didn't want to risk his life, so he insisted on his order. A few minutes later, their ship adjusted its course, heading for the United States in the distance The east coast sailed past. Like this transport ship, countless fishing boats, patrol ships, transport ships and passenger ships are all being forced to change their course.

The east coast of the United States was in a mess because of the sudden appearance of the German fleet, and at this time Lütjens was also taken aback by the problems he encountered in front of him. He originally thought that the Americans would take it seriously after at least sinking dozens of American ships. But he only sank 4 ships on his side, and the Americans made adjustments and responses.

There are more and more American reconnaissance planes in the airspace where he is located, forcing him to give up interference with the east coast routes of the United States and make a turning action in a direction that is out of the combat radius of the US carrier-based aircraft.

Watching the battle of German fighter jets chasing American patrol planes in the distance, Lütjens had to give the order to turn south again: "Speed ​​up and sail south! Damn! The Americans deployed on the east coast are stronger than we expected. , it seems that this time we are doomed to return without success.”

The Americans responded in a timely manner, and began to dispatch various aircraft to interfere with the operations of the German aircraft carrier fleet. Lütjens did not dare to fight alone with the shore-based American fighter group. He was even more worried that the British fleet, whose position could not be confirmed now, would suddenly appear. Therefore, the German fleet did not love to fight, and chose the safest way to go south and left the dangerous sea area.

The purpose of Lütjens's combat this time is mainly to show the power of the German navy and contain the US Navy. Try to contain the US troops as much as possible, and disrupt the rhythm of US airline transportation as much as possible. As far as the results of the battle are concerned, they have achieved part of their goals, and it is a very wise choice to retreat and break away from the battle now.

And just as Lütjens was fighting and retreating, the command on the east coast of the United States was also frightened by the sudden appearance of the German fleet. The main force of their fleet is in the Pacific Ocean, and most of the fighter units are also maintaining suppression of the Japanese army in the Pacific Ocean - don't underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Japanese, even if they are at a disadvantage, they are still a formidable opponent. Japan's strategic advantage, the United States had to invest most of its combat power.

The entire east coast has almost put out all its strength just now. If the German fleet insists on not leaving, the Americans seem to have no decent means to deal with this damn fleet——The German fleet’s combat against American fighter jets Outside the radius, the only way to repel them is to rely on the British fleet.

It's a pity that the British fleet is still in the waters near Canada, and it will take a lot of time to rush over. It's a pity that Lütjens didn't know these things, so he was forced back by this fleet hundreds of kilometers away and the not-so-powerful U.S. Army Aviation.

"We can no longer use a small number of aircraft to defend the east coast. We need at least 300 combat aircraft, and we need it immediately!" Looking at the report that the German fleet was lost, he breathed a sigh of relief. The American commander ordered loudly: "The Germans will not come only once! They are not short of fuel now!"

Even knowing that the German Navy will not have too many demonstration-like attacks, the United States still dare not bet on the absurd idea that "the Germans will not come again". They need to ensure the absolute security of New York, Washington and other areas, so this will inevitably involve a part of the power that is about to be thrown into the Pacific Ocean.

In fact, the Americans were indeed affected by this parade. They intercepted the two flying brigades supporting the Pacific theater and deployed them on the east coast. The British fleet also moved south in a planned way to ensure the safety of the route from the United States to Canada. More than 2 hours later, President Roosevelt had a meeting before he knew about this small-scale battle. The Americans only lost 1 destroyer, 2 transport ships, and 1 large fishing boat. However, this attack forced the United States to attach importance to the Atlantic naval battle and dispersed the combat power of the US Navy.

But these Lütjens don't know now, this break-up battle was not a victory for him, but a demonstration that ended hastily. He desperately hopes that he can come back again and really fight a battle that severely damages the U.S. Navy... To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
