Chapter 1232 European Joint Maritime Law Enforcement Committee
The news of the Naval Air Force was quickly put in front of Naval Commander Raidl. After seeing the report of the few numbers, Raidl was keenly aware of the huge problems contained in it.
Americans, providing fighter jets to the Soviet Union, what does this mean? Overcoming the ideological problem, the United States wanted to unite with the Soviet Union. If the Soviet Union had the support of the United States, the Soviet Union would have been able to persist in this war for too long.
This is, of course, bad for Germany.
After he received the news, he immediately brought the news to see Cyric. Now, with the continuous expansion of the wolf's den, almost all senior commanders live directly in the wolf's den.
"It seems that we still have some omissions." Holding this report, Cyric said: "The United States supports the Soviet Union, that is for sure. For the United States, using the Soviet Union to consume our strength and delay the process of the war, It is the favorite of those politicians, and at times like this, ideology can be temporarily abandoned."
With just this report, it is of course impossible to be 100% certain, but Cyric knew very well that, after all, this was what happened in history.
The United States supported the Soviet Union with considerable strength. In history, it was precisely because of the support of the United States that the Soviet Union went through the most difficult stage.
But at the same time, historically, the U.S. began to provide assistance after Germany invaded Moscow. Compared with history, the U.S. has started earlier now.
Thinking about the reason is also very simple, because in history, Germany did not conquer Britain, Germany still belongs to two-front warfare, and the United States can use Britain as a springboard at any time to land across the sea and open up a second battlefield.
But now, the United Kingdom is gone. If anything goes wrong with the Soviet Union, the United States will face a terrible Germany that spans Asia and Europe and integrates the whole of Europe.
The United States certainly has no chance of winning.
Therefore, Roosevelt can't wait to reinforce the Soviet Union now, just because he is afraid that the Soviet Union will be defeated by his own side.
"We can't watch such a situation happen." Scherner on the side said: "This American hand and foot must be cut off. I suggest that we strike these American transport ships and completely block them. their reinforcements."
In the Navy's report, it was only mentioned that American fighter jets were found, but the exact route of the American transport was not known. But as long as you look at the map, it is very clear that it must be transported to the port of the Soviet Union through Iceland in the icy northern Atlantic Ocean.
Now, the fleet strength of the German Navy is already quite strong. After the Soviet Union's Baltic Fleet was also annihilated, what naval power does the Soviet Union have?
The Northern Fleet is an empty shelf, not even a battleship. The German fleet can already control the eastern part of the Atlantic Ocean. At this time, dispatch battleships to completely cut off the blood transfusion channel of the Soviets, and see how long the Soviets can last!
Hearing his words, Foreign Minister Ribbentrop frowned: "It's a little inappropriate to do this."
In theory, Germany and the United States have entered a state of war. At the beginning, the United States was constantly looking for opponents, and it always regarded Germany as a threat, constantly claiming that Germany was attacking the United States.
So, Germany and the United States have wars at sea, and that's okay too.
However, both the United States and Germany are signatories to the Geneva Agreement and must abide by the battlefield order.
It can be said that if it is a confrontation, attack, and sinking between warships at sea, there is nothing to say, but civilian ships are different, after all, they are for civilian use.
Attacks on civilian facilities will bring bad consequences and lead to the war slipping into the abyss. Although Germany has attacked before, it is a special case. Now it is facing a large number of American ships. If it is attacked by its own fleet, it will Let both sides completely tear their faces.
You attack me, I attack you, and sea transportation will be paralyzed.
Secretly dispatch submarines to attack one or two ships.
In the long run, this is not suitable.
"Then let's just use submarines." At this moment, Vice Admiral Dönitz, who was in charge of the Imperial Submarine Force, said.
Historically, Hitler's distrust of the Reich's surface ships eventually led Germany to devote vast resources to building submarines, putting the United States at risk of British convoys through wolf pack tactics in the Atlantic.
At the beginning, it did achieve good results, but when the United States began to increase its escort fleet, those submarines were very sad and were eventually smashed by American surface ships.
Vivid facts have proved that the strength of the navy still depends on surface ships, and submarines are only a part of the navy's strength, and must not be used as the main force.
In this era, the Imperial Navy has made even greater progress. Battleships and aircraft carriers have successfully defeated the British Navy, so, by contrast, so far, submarines have not ushered in their glory.
Dönitz couldn't wait for a long time. He wanted to let his submarines show their talents in the war. Now is just an opportunity. Since surface ships are not easy to do, let the submarines show their strength!
After saying this, he looked at Cyric, hoping to see something in Cyric's eyes.
Sure enough, Cyric was moved.
There is no historical Atlantic wolf pack, now on the Arctic route, a wolf pack strategy? This seems okay, but...
This is not done by a big country, and it cannot show the temperament of an empire. This kind of plan can only be a last resort, and I should have a better plan.
As soon as he rolled his eyes, Cyric found a good solution from the case of later generations, and now he can just apply it. "As the controller of the whole of Europe, we have to manage the Arctic route for half a year." Cyric said: "All ships on the Arctic route must be under our management. Yes, we should also set up a special agency. Now, it is called the European Joint Maritime Enforcement Committee, and some maritime police vessels are used to manage shipping at sea.”
Cyric's words made the people present look at each other in dismay. Where and where is this?
"For those civilian ships that don't have any weapons, we should not use the military, we should use warships, we should use the police force to maintain law and order, that is, the coast guard force, so morally, we will not have any problems, and, This is our unified deployment across Europe." Cyric continued: "Any ship needs to be inspected by us, and if it refuses, then we have the right to enforce the law, detain them, and open fire on us if they dare. , then you will have to accept a more serious punishment. Well, all the prohibited items above, we have to detain."
When talking about this, the eyes of the people present lit up. This seems to be a new method, and it seems to be not bad.
"Now, let's talk about prohibited items, food, medicine, steel, fuel, industrial products, as long as we can find them in the Berlin Dictionary, they are all prohibited items."
When Cyric said this, everyone present showed a knowing smile.
What this world needs now is a big country like Germany to take up the responsibility of maintaining the world order. This is a dignified public law enforcement!
