My Third Empire

Biquge www.wuxiaspot.com, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!

The sinking of a destroyer was enough to make the Germans realize that this time the Royal Navy was really playing. So even if it is not reluctant, the German high seas fleet must fight daringly. The Stuttgart bomber went straight to the south with a bomb in an attempt to interfere with the British destroyer headed south by the German fleet. The first offensive operation of the German aircraft carrier began in this not-so-good situation.

Subsequent German naval aviation attacks did not yield impressive results, and most of their bombs were thrown into the sea. Only one bomb wounded a British cruiser, but it failed to sink the British ship. On the contrary, a German Stuttgart dive bomber was shot down by the British ship ’s anti-aircraft fire and the pilot was killed.

To be honest, the performance of the Stuka bomber on land is remarkable, but the effect of attacking targets at sea is somewhat unsatisfactory. This must also be clear from the combat principle of the Stuka dive bomber.

As we all know, there was no such thing as precision-guided bombs in the early days of World War II, so in order to ensure bombing accuracy, the dive bomber, a weapon with obvious time limitations, was born. The dive bomber uses high-speed dive as close as possible and aiming at the target to project bombs to ensure the accuracy of the bombing. It is very effective against roads, railways, bridges, and even mobile tanks.

However, when used against warships with dense air defense firepower, it seemed a bit overwhelmed. The reason is very simple: Are you willing to fly a fragile plane straight toward one or even several anti-aircraft guns that are constantly shooting?

This is also the main reason why Japanese suicide planes sounded very high in World War II, but the actual results were mediocre. Because it's really not a wise move to drove to a prepared ship, you will most likely be shot down and planted into the sea. It doesn't matter if you hold a mortal attitude like the Japanese, but if you still want to return home alive, you should seriously consider how to improve your tactics.

The improved method of the German naval aviation is to install a small device on the Stuka dive bomber, which can predict the location of the bomb's projectile, similar to a simple sight. This device allows Stuka not to dive very close when attacking, but to pull the bomb at a higher place. Of course, the cost is also very high: this makes Stuka's attack hit rate lower.

In addition, this time is under the conditions of close to actual combat, the German Navy ’s carrier-based aviation first carried out the attack mission, and the ground crew was in a panic, and did not choose the appropriate bomb type for these take-off bombers according to the mission: these take-off Stu The cards carry large bombs that attack the battleships, and they are naturally not used to attack the destroyers.

On the other hand, the German Navy ’s battle determination was not firm, and Lütjens ’s operational goal was to "drive out British destroyers and cruisers off the route to ensure the smooth confluence of the fleet." Therefore, the German navy did not take off planes frequently to attack these warships, but only threatened to retreat these warships, and hurried south.

The full-powered German fleet went south at full speed in a fugitive attitude, and shortly afterwards it merged with the first fleet of Redel who came to reinforce. The two fleets were not in love either. After reorganizing the formations, they entered the mighty military port with mighty force. Dozens of roadbed fighters and bombers arrived in time, so that the British navy did not pursue it in depth. A naval battle that should have shocked the world is over.

After the end of a naval battle, both sides were not very satisfied with their results. On the one hand, because of the desperate battle of the German destroyers, the British Royal Navy failed to complete the established goal of hitting the German navy, which was very annoying; on the other hand, the German navy suffered the actual loss of a destroyer, which made the German high-level anger, Redl and Lu Tejans was summoned to the palace of the head of state and ordered to make an in-depth analysis and summary of the operation.

Of course, this defeat made Akado aware of the shortcomings of the German command system, so he followed a lot of unlucky people. At the summary meeting of the day, Field Marshal Brahich, Navy Submarine Commander Dunitz, Air Force Commander Catherine and Dick, the head of the intelligence service Gascol, the SS commander-in-chief Reinhardt, and even the imperial Prime Minister Augustus, who had just taken office, were asked to attend by Akado.

Nor can it be blamed for the heads of state full of anger, because it is a serious lack of command and coordination that has recently been hidden under the aura of glorious victory. Because of the coordination work, the Polish Air Force launched an attack one hour in advance, and the mutual bluff actually caused a German destroyer to be sunk in Poland's offshore waters; then there was a nasty thing inside the military that the Defense Force commander discriminated against the SS On the other hand, the airborne forces also suffered losses due to differences in their use. Following the submarine forces for their own plans, the surface ship forces suffered again.

If these problems are not solved, then for the foreseeable future, the coordination problems between the various services will eventually paralyze and collapse the seemingly powerful war machine in Germany.

Pressing his hand on the conference table, Akado looked at the German command team he had accumulated a little, and everyone lowered their heads, and seemed unwilling to be the first to speak. The meeting room was surprisingly quiet, as if you could hear a needle falling on the ground. The atmosphere is really not so good. Everyone thought to himself.

"Just talk about it." It seems unrealistic to expect these subordinates to gather courage. So Akado broke the silent atmosphere in the conference room and took the lead in saying: "Everyone is also an old acquaintance, there is nothing embarrassing."

Silence is still uncomfortable silence.

"In ancient times, it was a shame that courtiers were unable to share their concerns with the king. Now that we are also cronies personally promoted by the head of state, should we do such a tasteless thing to shirk responsibility?" Augustus sighed. "Everyone knows that it's disgraceful, so we have to find ways to stop this shameful problem in the future."

"The intelligence department will strengthen the liaison and cooperation with all departments." Gascoll is the loyal loyalty of Akado. At this time, naturally he must also stand up and express his position: "I have not thought about other aspects yet, but I Will submit the relevant report to the head of state at the fastest speed. "

Reinhardt also nodded and followed, saying: "The SS has always been the most loyal to the head of state. We obey all the arrangements of the head of state. So there is nothing to say. If the head of state needs us to go to the battlefield hungry, we will not bring food. set off."

"As the commander of the Navy, I personally have to review. I failed to achieve the intended combat objectives in both operations, and in the second time, the fleet suffered unnecessary losses. I am willing to be responsible for this." Riddle With a sigh, he said heavily: "If the head of state approves, I am willing to resign as the commander-in-chief of the Navy."

Dunnitz ’s face was not good-looking either. After all, this battle failed and the warship was lost. He also had a certain responsibility: "My head, the advance movement of the submarine force, was my order. This time the battle failed, but also my responsibility……"

"Okay! Don't talk about them one by one." Akado interrupted Dunnitz's words and waved his hand. "You first divided who is responsible, and then surrender your own power, and throw the mess to others." … This is the solution you have in mind? "

Akado stood up, his eyes swept over his generals, with dignity and fierceness: "You are all pulled up by me with one hand, I hope you can follow my pace and march toward the beautiful future of Germany. Go forward. And now? For the benefit of sesame and green beans, you forgot your oath to me? "

"No need to shirk each other's responsibilities, nor do you have to take responsibility for yourself! Augustus and I have worked out a solution." Akado hammered twice on the table with his hands, making a booming sound: "From From now on, the Supreme Military Command of the German Third Reich will be established, and I will be the highest military commander of the whole country. All commanders of arms will be directly responsible to me. "

"This ..." Blauchic apparently didn't want his Defense Force Commander to be an empty shelf, hesitating to say something.

But Akado did not give him this opportunity. Akado used his hand to stop Braušić ’s attempt to speak, staring at him and saying, “I ’m still very satisfied with the work of Marshal Braušić, but your experience in the military coordination of various arms by sea, land and air And the idea is too conservative, and you do n’t have too much restraint and attention on the Air Force and the Navy. I believe you admit it. "

Brauchic has nothing to say, he does exist these problems: because he was a general from the old army, he paid more attention to the construction and development of the army, and took the commander-in-chief of the national defense army as the commander-in-chief of the army. (Strongly cooperate with the Air Force and the Navy for its own development).

"Don't worry too much," Akado reassured later: "This empire's supreme command is just overseeing the preparation of a large-scale battle plan that requires the cooperation of all arms in all directions of the empire. It does not interfere with the preparation of specific battle plans. It does not exist. Please worry about laymen ’s interference in military plans. "

"I agree to establish this Supreme Command, which can coordinate the problems between the various arms." As the shadow of Akado, Prime Minister Augustus first stated: "In addition, with this Supreme Command, everyone Loyalty is even more intuitive. "

"The Army's loyalty to the head of state is unquestionable." Brauchic stood up to salute: "I agree with the head of state's arrangement."

"Observe, my head!" Everyone stood up and saluted.
