Chapter 1725 Huge Fleet
The storm was blowing on the ice cap for a long time, and the people hiding in the ice house listened to the whistling wind outside, and their hearts were up and down.
"Shouldn't go, shouldn't go." Professor Weiss didn't know how many times he had mentioned this matter. In order to find a traitor hunter, it was not worth taking the lives of two of his own.
Every soldier in the empire is precious, and in the past few days, they have been living together, and they have formed a closer relationship, just like their own relatives, the storm came so quickly, how did they like?
After the storm stopped, Professor Weiss stood on top of the igloo and looked into the distance, but saw nothing, and it was impossible for the remaining few of them to send out to look for it.
In this way, time passed little by little, one day, two days, three days, when the afternoon of the third day, on the distant horizon, a group of people loomed.
"Ready to fight!" said the soldier who stayed here. He held his rifle and looked into the distance. Although he was alone, there were traps nearby. He was still holding an automatic weapon. no problem.
When the other party approached, he could see clearly that it was the few people who went out from his own side, and the sled was loaded with supplies.
Oort was at the forefront, and after the storm stopped, they went to the nearby sleigh patrol supply station and put away the various supplies stored there, biscuits,
Bacon, canned limes and lemons, herring for the dogs, and the precious fuel kerosene were all brought in.
With this batch of supplies, they can stay for a longer time, and after this circle, they have also obtained more meteorological information. In the recent period of time, there will be no more terrible storms!
"Our observational data also confirms this." Professor Weiss said: "The atmosphere in the entire northern part of Greenland has stabilized and will last for at least ten days."
This is a great opportunity!
There are six weather teams sent by Germany. Except on the ice sheet, even in the northernmost part of Greenland, there are weather teams stationed. In the past few days, they have all obtained the same results. , there will be no big storm!
"It seems that our weather team has done a good job." After getting the news, Cyric was very satisfied: "As long as there is no severe weather in the near future, our plan can start."
The landing troops are quite dependent on the weather conditions. If the weather conditions are bad, their landing ships will not be able to dock, and even the carrier aircraft will not be able to take off. At that time, it will cause great danger and even cause heavy losses to their own fleet. .
Carrier-based aircraft cannot take off, but land-based fighter jets can be forced to take off.
The battle plan has been formulated. After several years of running-in, the empire's war machine has become extremely powerful. Generally speaking, this landing operation is an expanded plan for the landing in Iceland, and a smaller version of the landing in the United States. The Navy has long not known about it. How many times has it been formulated.
But, in the end, Cyric was given an additional plan of action.
"Decapitation?" Cyric read the name of the plan. The whole plan was formulated by the Griffin Special Forces, with Skorzeny's name signed on it.
The Griffin Special Forces was established under the suggestion of Cyric, and Skorzeny was also a member of the commander who was personally suggested by Cyric. At the same time, Skorzeny did not disappoint Cyric, every time actions were done very well.
However, special operations and national wars are different, and in such national wars, there are not many opportunities for special operations.
Skorzeny is a restless person. The most recent operation was to rescue Khrushchev, the short and fat man. Other than that, he did not do much fun. Since he was going to land in Greenland, he might as well find him. Click combat action.
For example, airborne directly to the capital of Greenland, sneaked in, and killed all the governors of Greenland and senior US military officials above, leaving the troops below in a mess.
Anyway, the Governor and others are staunch American factions. After Denmark surrendered, they all joined the Americans without hesitation, and even allowed the Americans to use their bases.
It can be said that such an action has certain risks. After all, it is unfamiliar with the local people, and without the support of the local people, it may even fall into an ambush.
However, the Griffin Special Forces have not been dispatched for a long time. The army cannot be afraid of risks. Only on the battlefield of blood and fire can they show their value.
After carefully reading this report twice, Cyric finally signed his name on this battle plan, and with his signature, the military operation to land on Greenland officially began!
Ships of warships sailed out from various ports in Europe, assembled and organized in the Atlantic Ocean, and soon, a huge fleet of more than 200 ships was formed.
If seen from the sky, this fleet is beautiful with strength.
In the middle of the fleet are six flat-deck aircraft carriers, two teams in the front and rear, three in each team.
On the deck side, the carrier-based aircraft are ready and ready to take off at any time.
In front of the aircraft carrier formation, there are two giant warships, Bismarck and Hindenburg, two huge warships, which are the largest monsters in the entire formation. The high 460 mm gun barrels are all the time. Show your power.
The navy of any country will be drooling when they see the scale of this formation. Only the battleships in the central area are enough to make them jealous, not to mention the German-class pocket battleships next to them, as well as a large number of escorting destroyers and frigates. .
Behind them are all amphibious landing ships.
The huge fleet unfolded on the water, for several nautical miles in the front and rear, and it was so dark that it was impossible to see the edge.
(Thinking of this scene in my mind makes me feel inexplicably excited.)
In front of the German fleet, a dozen nautical miles away, was the French fleet, with Strasbourg as the core, forming a vanguard fleet of more than a dozen warships.
On the battleship Hindenburg, Redel was in high spirits.
Generally speaking, when a fleet goes on an expedition, a vice-admiral or an admiral is appointed. Few naval commanders lead the team by themselves, but this time, Reeder decided to lead the team in person. Del wanted to direct himself.
The waves in the Atlantic Ocean have always been big, but the 70,000-ton battleship has been sailing steadily, and the coffee on the table has not shaken at all.
"The Americans will definitely notice us." Admiral Gunther Lütjens said next to Riedel: "Even if we have done enough confidentiality procedures, it is impossible to hide the Americans."
"Yeah, we didn't intend to hide it." Redel said: "We just want to attract American aviation to come and die. If the Americans can't hold back their air and let their fleet fly prematurely, they will die. "
