Chapter 1233 Submarines Will Also Appear

This is a good opportunity. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the future maritime sovereignty will also be taken over. The empire has the right to conduct comprehensive law enforcement inspections on the seas of the entire world, relying on the empire's powerful navy!

Thinking of the US's maritime hegemony in later generations, it will look like a rogue, and it will randomly inspect the civilian ships of any country. When I think about it, I get angry. Now, we can finally do this.

Not only for the present, but also for the post-war world order, which is the duty of the empire.

"Then, we don't have any coast guard ships yet," said Raidl.

"It's hard to say. It's not enough to retire some of our current high-speed ships and convert them into coast guard ships." Cyric said: "The displacement does not need to be too large, for example, the Deutsche-class is enough."

Deutsche-class, that is a warship with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons. If such a warship is used as a coast guard ship, what other civilian ships would dare to defy?

Hearing this, Raedl nodded knowingly: "We still have many French and British ships that can serve as coast guards."

Since it is the European joint law enforcement, of course, other warships, the 10,000-ton-class coast guard ship, must be pulled to carry out law enforcement. This scene is intoxicating when you think about it.

At the same time, the matter is resolved.

The German side uses the European coast guard force to carry out comprehensive law enforcement. It is inappropriate for the navy to act on civilian ships, but the coast guard is different. After all, the police are there to manage public security, including maritime security.

If they don't accept it, then the coast guard has an excuse to destroy them. Are they afraid of the German-class coast guard ships?

If the United States wants to argue that it is an international waters, then it can send representatives here. The two sides will argue internationally. In short, comprehensive law enforcement will not stop.

If the Americans were to send their navy to protect, the conflict would escalate, and their own navy would have been waiting eagerly. Now the United States is doing its best to deal with the situation in the Pacific Ocean. It is enough for the Americans to feel at ease if the Atlantic side does not expand. It is absolutely impossible for them to take the initiative to send warships to expand the conflict.

As much as it comes, the German navy can destroy as much, and Germany has full confidence in this.

In this way, the US military aid to the Soviet Union was completely blocked.

A large amount of equipment and materials can only be transported by sea. The Americans do not have large transport planes, and if they have, they are not enough to spend so much, so the only solution is to go by sea.

Don't mess around with the things of the old continent in the new continent!

"Führer Cyric, our method can cut off the Americans' hands and feet in the Atlantic Ocean, but we should see that the channel for the United States to support the Soviet Union is not only the Atlantic one." Dönitz spoke again. .

Cyric nodded, Dönitz's view is correct, there is more than one channel, the United States spans two oceans, and so does the Soviet Union. If it can't get through in the Atlantic Ocean, the United States will definitely turn to the Pacific Ocean.

The Atlantic Ocean is the most shortcut solution, because now the Soviet Union is mainly a battlefield on the Western Front, and the unloaded equipment can quickly reach the battlefield.

And if the United States takes the eastern line, it can only be transported from Alaska to the Far East of the Soviet Union, and then the Soviet Union will then cross the entire Asian part by rail to reach the battlefield on the western front.

It's a twist, but it's better than nothing.

In the history of later generations, many materials were indeed transported in this way.

Now, although the United States is not doing well in the Pacific Ocean, it has been beaten all over by island countries and almost lost its presence in the Western Pacific. However, the Americans still have an advantage on the route of the icy Arctic Circle.

Especially now that summer is approaching, the Soviet Union's Arctic Circle route is also open, and American ships can pass through the Arctic Circle route to the western part of the Soviet Union.

The island country does not have the ability, let alone the heart. Now the island country, who wants to seize all kinds of resources in Southeast Asia, how can they go to the icy Arctic Circle to fight the Soviets to the death.

Only on your own.

But now, Germany's strategy has determined that the German aircraft carrier formation will not appear in the Pacific Ocean for the time being, so only one weapon can be dispatched.

"Dönitz, your conjecture is correct." Cyric agreed to Dönitz.

Of course, Dönitz didn't just say it casually. He just raised this question, that is, he wanted to dispatch the submarine force of the Navy.

On the route from Alaska to the Far East of the Soviet Union, using one's own submarines to ambush those merchant ships is the only way. Anyway, the German Navy will not admit it at that time.

"However, the number of our large ocean-going submarines is insufficient, and we cannot operate there for a long time." Rader also knew what Cyric meant and couldn't help but say.

Now, the German navy is moving towards an ocean-going navy, as are German naval submarines.

The German Navy has long developed ocean-going submarines with a displacement of 1,000 tons, and now, the latest submarines in service are already big guys with an underwater displacement of 2,000 tons.

It was this type of XXI submarine that went to the Pacific Ocean to ambush.

However, such submarines are still not enough.

The main power of the submarine is still diesel-electric technology. Even if Germany invented the snorkel technology, the submarine can only be charged when it floats up to the snorkel state.

If you want to sail underwater, you need a battery. Therefore, the structure of the submarine has not changed. The diesel engine at the rear of the submarine, the battery at the lower part, and the torpedo compartment at the front. The remaining space left for the submarine is quite small. Carrying more fuel resulted in other things like food not increasing drastically.

Such submarines have limited self-sustainability, and the target location is the Arctic Circle in the Pacific Ocean, and the voyage is long.

If you go through the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, and go all the way, you will simply circle more than half the world. Even if you take the route of the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, it is half the length of the world, and it is very stressful to go back and forth.

In the past, it was okay to say that there were only one or two submarines. Now, there are many more dispatched. Supplementing these submarines with food, fresh water and fuel is a prominent problem. Germany does not have suitable allies in the Pacific to supply supplies, let alone go to island countries.

Another route, going to the Arctic Circle is much closer, but now the German navy lacks training in this area. It is quite dangerous to approach the Arctic Circle, and it is all Soviet territory along the way, passing by the door of others. , will be beaten at any time.

Originally to the central Pacific Ocean, now to the northern Pacific Ocean, the voyage will be thousands of nautical miles, and the uncertainty is quite large.

Existing submarines are not suitable.

"It seems that we can only use our XXI-2 submarine." Dönitz said: "This submarine has now completed the construction of the first test boat and is undergoing sea trials."
