Chapter 1560: strangling the us navy
??The United States has a strong industrial strength second only to Germany in the world, and its shipbuilding industry is also second only to Germany. Therefore, when the shipyards of the US Navy are building warships at full capacity, the production capacity is undoubtedly very terrifying. They were able to build enough new warships in a very short period of time, so that the strength of the US Navy could be quickly restored. And this is not a good thing for the German Navy.
?? After all, although the U.S. Navy is not an opponent of the German Navy, it can also pose a considerable threat to the German Navy. Once their navy becomes stronger again, even if the German navy wants to defeat them, it will definitely have to pay a big price.
?? "Your Majesty, can we dispatch aircraft carrier-based air forces to raid the shipyards on the east coast of the United States and destroy the warships they are building together with the shipyards!" Marshal Dönitz suggested.
??Qin Tian shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not easy. After the failure of the US Navy, the Americans have focused on strengthening the defense of the east coast. Their army air force has deployed to the east coast in a large scale."
"Yes, Your Majesty. The main force of the U.S. Army Air Force, as well as most of their Naval Air Force, are deployed at the eastern airfields. If our fleet appears on the east coast of the United States, it will inevitably be attacked by the Americans. Of course, with the strength of our navy, we can resist. However, if the loss is too large, it will also be detrimental to the subsequent naval battle." Marshal Raeder also said.
?? "Then can we dispatch capital ships and use the large-caliber naval guns of capital ships to destroy those shipyards?" Admiral Herman Boehm suggested.
"I'm afraid the capital ship will not work either. On the one hand, the U.S. Navy has built coastal defense fortresses in those important cities on the east coast. On the other hand, our ambush against the U.S. Navy's main fleet in the Azores must have given the Americans A lot of inspiration. If our main fleet goes out, it might be ambushed by submarines and torpedo boats of the U.S. Navy. At that time, the loss of our fleet will definitely not be much smaller. In addition, the U.S. Navy’s capital ship formation , and six capital ships. They are all powerful 'Montana-class' battleships and 'Iowa-class' battleships. Our capital ships, I'm afraid it will be difficult to compete with them. Especially the 'Montana-class' battleships The previous naval battles have proved that our capital ships are almost powerless to fight back when confronting the 'Montana-class' battleships." Marshal Lütjens said.
??The imperial navy admirals present couldn't help frowning. One solution after another was put forward and then overthrown. This makes them seem helpless as to how to contain the U.S. Navy.
?? "Your Majesty, is there no other way?" Marshal Raeder asked.
??Qin Tian didn't answer, but looked at Marshal Doenitz: "Your Excellency, Marshal Doenitz, are your troops ready?"
?? Marshal Dönitz and the other admirals immediately understood what Qin Tian meant, that the submarine force was going to take action.
?? "Your Majesty, the submarine force is ready and ready to go!" Marshal Dönitz replied immediately.
??Compared to the last world war, the submarines of the German Navy stole the limelight. However, in this world war, the submarine force of the German Navy was somewhat unknown.
??In the last world war, the German navy needed to defeat the strong with the weak. The submarine force played a great role in the battle to strangle Britain. They turned into ferocious hungry wolves, and almost tore the British sea transportation line to pieces. The United Kingdom, which relies heavily on maritime transportation, was almost trapped alive.
??But in this world war, the German navy is already the world's most powerful navy. Many battles can be resolved directly by the powerful surface warships of the German Navy. This makes the German Navy's submarine force fewer opportunities to dispatch. Naturally, there is no chance of meritorious service. The officers and soldiers of the submarine force of the German Navy are even more eager to see through this.
?? "Your Majesty, the United States has a vast territory and abundant resources. Unless submarines are used to directly enter the east coast for a sneak attack. Otherwise, the effect may be very limited." Marshal Dönitz couldn't help thinking of this while excited.
Qin Tian nodded: "Yes, the United States is indeed rich in resources. However, this does not mean that all their resources can be self-sufficient. For example, rubber, the United States completely relies on obtaining from South America. Some other mineral resources, Americans are also heavily dependent on imports from South America. If we can cut off these transportation lines in the United States, it will definitely cause serious damage to the United States."
?? "Yes, Your Majesty. The submarine force is guaranteed to be able to complete the mission! We will turn the route from the United States to South America into a route of death!" Marshal Dönitz immediately promised.
??As long as there is a goal, the submarine force of the German Navy can be sure that they will be able to complete the mission in the next battle. Because, even if the submarine force of the German Navy has a little reputation in this world war. However, they are still the most powerful submarine force in the world. The submarines they equip are also the most advanced submarines in the world. No country's submarines can compare with them.
??Qin Tian nodded. He also believed that the German submarine force would be able to complete the task.
"Everyone, although the Imperial Navy has achieved a crucial victory in this naval battle, there is still a long way to go before we can defeat the United States. Therefore, we must not be complacent because of this. We still need to make persistent efforts to achieve greater victories!" Qin Tian exhorted.
?? For a long time, the German Navy has regarded the US Navy as its biggest opponent. Now that the U.S. Navy has been beaten down by them, it is hard to guarantee that they will not be proud and complacent. If this is the case, there may be problems. Qin Tian didn't want to capsize in the gutter at the most critical moment. In that case, it would definitely not be a good thing for Germany.
?? "Yes, Your Majesty!" A group of naval generals replied solemnly. They are also aware of this. Although they have won now, it does not mean that they will win in the future. Only when they have won the final victory in the future is the time for them to relax.
?? "Everyone, I look forward to your continuing to win the final victory for the German Empire! Long live the Imperial Navy!" Qin Tian said.
?? "Long live the empire, long live your majesty!" the generals shouted.
