Iron Germany

On May 12, British Vice Admiral Martin led a fleet of 12 battleships from the Norfolk base of the US Navy and sailed into the vast Atlantic Ocean. It's just that these warships are now flying the American flag. In order to keep it secret, they will not be replaced by the St. George's flag of the British Navy until the outbreak of battle.

Of course, this is because the Americans have opened the door to them. Otherwise, all this would be impossible. Among other things, even if the British bought a warship, it is not so easy to hide and get used to it, so as not to be discovered by the Germans.

In doing so, the U.S. government undoubtedly took a great risk. Once Germany finally finds out, it will inevitably cause serious cracks in their relationship with Germany. Although a war will not break out, it will inevitably be attacked by Germany after the war. Of course, even if Americans don't do that. After Germany won the World War, in order to ensure its own status and security, it will spare no effort to suppress the United States. For its own benefit, the United States can only try its best to make Germany weakened as much as possible during the war. In this way, their pressure will be less after the war.

As for whether the combined fleet of the Allied Powers can defeat Germany in one fell swoop in this decisive battle. In this regard, the United States is not very optimistic. Although there are many capital ships in the combined fleet of the Allied Powers, their strength is also very strong. But it doesn't mean that the more capital ships, the stronger the strength. Through one naval battle after another, the German navy has established their position as the supremacy of the sea.

However, all of this has nothing to do with the United States. They are just spectators in this decisive battle at sea. And took the opportunity to kill the British severely. Those warships with poor performance were all sold at sky-high prices. This allows them to have the funds to build new capital ships next. In addition, by seizing the British colonies, their forces successfully entered the southern Caribbean. This is very helpful for consolidating the position of the United States in this region and protecting their interests.

It can be said that it is precisely because of this that the United States has become the biggest winner in this naval battle.

After the Royal Navy was beaten to the ground, the U.S. Navy has become the most powerful maritime force after the German Navy. In addition, the relationship between the two countries is also very bad, and even a war in the Atlantic Ocean almost broke out. Therefore, the movement of the U.S. Navy has also become the focus of the German Navy. There are many submarines and reconnaissance ships operating on the east coast of the United States all year round. In particular, the Norfolk Naval Base, the home port of the US Navy's Atlantic Fleet, has become a key monitoring target of the German Navy.

The British fleet had just left the Norfolk Naval Base when it was spotted by a German Navy scout ship. While tracking, they reported to the country. However, with the help of the cover of night, the British fleet got rid of the German Navy's reconnaissance ships.

The Atlantic was vast, even with the size of the British fleet. But it is undoubtedly very difficult to find a fleet on the vast ocean.

Port of Kiel, German Navy High Seas Fleet Command. Fleet Commander Admiral Reinhard Scheer and Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Hipper are studying this piece of information.

"What exactly do the Americans want to do? Didn't they declare neutrality? This battle has nothing to do with them. But it is obviously too strange for them to send such a powerful fleet into the Atlantic Ocean with great fanfare." Reinha Admiral Te Sher frowned.

Although, a huge fleet of 12 battleships is nothing to the German Navy. The German Navy can mobilize a fleet of the same size to compete with it at any time. Even dispatched a fleet larger than this size to launch an attack.

However, if it is not necessary, Germany is unwilling to go to war with the United States in this war. Although, Germany already has an absolute advantage in the battle with the Allies. But it will take some time to win the final victory. In particular, the planned landing campaign in the UK will take a lot of time and resources. If under such circumstances, another war with a powerful country like the United States will inevitably make this war last longer and consume more national power.

You know, the current domestic situation in Germany has already begun to have problems. Food and other materials are almost in short supply. The government hopes that the war will be over within a year. That way, it won't have too much impact on the economy. Otherwise, even if the final victory of the war is won, the German economy will also suffer heavy losses. At that time, it will take more time to recover.

Therefore, although the German military hopes to take advantage of this war to bring down the United States and completely establish Germany's hegemony. However, due to the limitation of national strength, they had to postpone the plan. The goal of defeating the United States is about to be placed in the next war.

"Who knows! Is it possible that the Americans still want to have a confrontation with the Imperial Navy like last time? Last time, we rammed and damaged one of their capital ships. It seems that this lesson is not enough. We have to Just show them a more powerful color." Lieutenant General Hipper said.

Last time, the U.S. fleet attempted to forcibly break into the no-navigation zone designated by Germany, which resulted in a confrontation between the two sides, and almost fired. But under strong pressure from the German Navy, the U.S. Navy had to retreat. Of course, this makes the United States and the US Navy lose face. But at the same time, it also made the relationship between the United States and Germany worse.

"Will the Americans want to launch a surprise attack on us at this time?" Lieutenant General Hipper said.

"This is impossible. The Americans are not fools. Now the Allied Powers are about to be defeated by us. Even if they join the war, they will have no chance of winning. That will put them in crisis instead. Therefore, the Americans should not Then it would be unwise." Admiral Reinhard Scheer said.

"So, what do the Americans want to do?"

This became a headache for Admiral Reinhard Scheer and Lieutenant General Hipper.

"No matter what, let our fleet get ready. If the Americans try to attack us, we will definitely make them pay an unbearable price!" Admiral Reinhard Scheer said.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." Lieutenant General Hipper nodded.

Under the order of the High Seas Fleet Command, the German Navy's breaking fleet entered a state of combat readiness. At the same time, the main force of the High Seas Fleet also left the port one after another and sailed into the Atlantic Ocean.
