“The navies of three countries have all come to the Atlantic Ocean. They should take the initiative to attack us this time!”
After Mainz learned the news, he seemed calm on the surface and seemed to be unmoved, but in fact he was thinking about the impact of this incident.
Originally, the naval strength of the Eagle Sauce was very strong. After assembling the Atlantic Fleet and the Pacific Fleet, the Eagle Sauce Navy actually had a certain advantage in the total tonnage and number of warships.
It’s just that they are on the defensive and have to prevent the German sneak attack, so these forces still seem a bit stretched, and they really can’t withdraw too many troops to the ocean to fight the German army.
Especially when the German army is still organizing fleets to North America, they have to allocate a large number of troops to intercept and attack the German fleet. During this period, the German navy and the Eagle Sauce navy have exchanged fire at sea many times, and both sides are surrounding the German army. The US military opened fire on these transport ships!
Obviously, the US military’s intention is to intercept the German fleet at sea. If possible, they hope to destroy the fleet once and for all and completely isolate the German troops that have already landed!
The German army’s goal is to ensure that these fleets arrive at their destination safely, so they have assembled heavy troops to protect the fleet.
With strict protection, the Eagle Sauce Navy can’t get any advantage at all. If they want to attack the fleet, they can only attack by force. However, if they attack by force, the air advantage of the German aircraft carrier battle group is too obvious. The US military has tried several times and failed to achieve very good results. Instead, several warships that advanced recklessly were attacked by attack aircraft taken off from German aircraft carriers and were severely injured!
If the German army’s main task was not to escort the fleet and there was not much time to waste on fighting, these US warships How could they escape after being injured? They would definitely be sunk by the German attack aircraft.
However, the US military obviously did not think so. After several attempts, they also tested the depth of the German navy!
This is indeed a very powerful navy, and the aircraft carriers of this navy are unusually active. Although the German army is equipped with a large number of battleships, these battleships do not seem to be the main force of combat, but act as sword-wielding guards for aircraft carriers.
They usually do not charge into battle in person, but guard the side of the aircraft carrier, keeping a distance of 30-50 kilometers from the aircraft carrier to prevent the enemy’s surface fleet from approaching the aircraft carrier and posing a threat to the aircraft carrier!
The maximum range of naval guns of this era generally exceeds 30 kilometers. However, although the range exceeds this distance, they can no longer see the target at such a long distance, so there is no way to aim. Accurate, if you fire at this distance, whether you can hit or not depends entirely on luck, there is no certainty at all, let alone the hit rate!
Therefore, the position of the German battleships is obviously not a random walk to this position, but after careful calculation, it is their most suitable position in the aircraft carrier battle group!
As for the periphery of the aircraft carrier battle group, one ship acts as a ranger, using speed to sail back and forth in the periphery to detect the enemy’s movements and provide early warning for battleships and aircraft carriers!
Of course, the German early warning system is this one, and in the air, they also have an early warning system, that is, their early warning aircraft and reconnaissance aircraft! The
German early warning aircraft is a carrier-based early warning aircraft similar to the EC-2 Hawkeye early warning aircraft used on aircraft carriers in later generations. This thing is modified from a transport aircraft, with a relatively large internal space and a certain mounting capacity!
After the modification, the back of the early warning aircraft has a huge circular antenna. The circular antenna is actually a radar array that can emit radar waves at high altitudes to detect targets on the sea and in the air. The detection distance of the early warning aircraft is usually relatively far, and this distance will increase with their height.
With this early warning method, the German aircraft carrier battle group can usually find the enemy’s position in time, and make targeted deployments according to the number and strength of the incoming enemy before the enemy approaches their own aircraft carrier battle group!
After several naval battles between the US and German armies in the Atlantic, the main reason why the US military felt that the opponent’s aircraft carriers were very difficult to deal with was that they usually couldn’t find the German aircraft carrier battle group when they dispatched the main fleet, and if they dispatched a small fleet, sometimes they would have a chance to find the opponent’s whereabouts, but because the strength of their own warships was too weak, even if they found it, they couldn’t destroy the opponent!
Therefore, the Eagle Sauce side was extremely difficult to deal with this. They judged this situation as insufficient manpower on their side, and believed that as long as they were equipped with enough warships, they could solve this problem and have the ability to destroy the German aircraft carriers in one battle!
……
North America, Norfolk Naval Base.
When the Far East Combined Fleet arrived at the Norfolk base, the American troops in the base began to cheer!
Ever since they learned that the British Navy and the British Navy might enter the Atlantic Ocean and fight side by side with them to fight against the German army, they have been looking forward to this day!
After waiting for more than a month, the reinforcements they had been waiting for finally arrived!
“General Yamamoto, General Cunningham, we, the Eagle Sauce people, are grateful that you two can bring your fleets to the Atlantic to support us!”
At the welcome dinner in Norfolk, Admiral King, the naval commander of the Eagle Sauce, very politely found the commander of the Combined Fleet, Yamamoto, and the commander of the British Navy, Cunningham, and expressed his warm welcome to them!
“Mr. Admiral, compared to the fine wines you prepared, I am more interested in our enemies. I think I would be even happier if I could personally send the enemy’s fleet into the sea!”
It’s not that Yamamoto Jushi doesn’t like drinking, he just doesn’t like the current atmosphere.
They did arrive in North America as reinforcements, but that doesn’t mean they will definitely win this battle!
The enemy is strong, and they don’t have the capital to underestimate the enemy, because they can’t afford to lose this war. Once they lose, all countries in the world will completely turn to Hans. When the time comes, all countries will rush in, and they will definitely be overwhelmed in an instant!
Just like this time, the national strength of the Eagle Sauce is not to be underestimated, and its influence in South America is not to be underestimated!
However, once they show signs of weakness and chaos, those South American countries immediately turn from docile sheep into terrible jackals, taking advantage of your illness to kill you, and launched a siege on the Eagle Sauce!
If they hadn’t arrived in time this time and resolved the crisis of the Panama Canal, I’m afraid the Panama Canal would have fallen!
