Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Yannick was shocked when he received the news that his own fleet in the Alaskan waters had been severely damaged and immediately convened a high-level meeting of the navy.

"What's going on with the naval intelligence department? Hasn't it already deciphered the Americans' secret code?!" It actually realized the Americans' secret action plan without noticing it? This kind of serious dereliction of duty can be brought to a military court.

The head of the naval intelligence department stood up tremblingly, wiping the cold sweat from his face and explained. "Your Highness, the Americans seem to be aware that their secret code has been deciphered, so they frequently change the secret code. The secret code used in this operation was just changed two days ago, and our intelligence department has not had time to decipher it."

"..." Yannick nodded slightly, acknowledging the explanation of the person in charge. Although the intelligence department is equipped with computers to participate in the deciphering work, the new code cannot be successfully deciphered in one day.

Don't these Americans find it troublesome? You must know that changing the secret code is not a small project, especially if it is changed frequently in a short period of time, it may cause chaos in the communication of the entire army. Many messages may also have translation errors and other problems, and a lot of time must be wasted to correct and confirm.

But if it were him, he would take the same measures; after all, it's better to be in trouble than to be seen naked.

"I really didn't expect that the Americans still have such a method. Wow, it seems that we were really carried away by the victory. If we didn't suffer some losses, we would forget that there is such a thing as setbacks in the world." Yannick said It sounded like a joke, but everyone in the conference room didn't dare to say anything, or even dare to express it.

But Yannick was really joking. No navy that defeated the British Empire had ever suffered such heavy losses, but unexpectedly it stumbled upon the Americans. Fortunately, the somersault was not serious and would not cause serious damage to the Imperial Navy.

After sighing for a while, Yannick asked again. "How many enemy planes did we shoot down?"

"Including those old-fashioned fighter planes used as decoys, about 700 were shot down, and all the invading enemy planes were wiped out."

"Oh?" Yannick raised his eyebrows slightly, it was still a good result. No matter how wealthy the Americans are, it's impossible to dispatch such a number of fighter planes every time, right? And the entire army was annihilated, which means that the Americans lost at least 1,000 pilots. The person who can participate in such a secret raid must be an elite pilot. If he were the President of the United States, he would feel distressed for a while. If this kind of raid were to happen ten more times, the Americans would not be allowed to lose more than 10,000 pilots?

But it was really unpleasant to be tricked like this once, and he had to take revenge. "How many Tiger Shark-class submarines do we have now?"

Dönitz said respectfully. "There are six ships in total, Your Highness. Two more will be launched in a month."

"Three were sent to the east coast of the United States, and the other three were sent to the west coast of the United States." Because the American surface warships are already equipped with active sonar, sending ordinary U-shaped submarines will only increase casualties. Today's German submarine force operations are basically based on Tiger Shark Submarine Execution. The Navy will no longer continue to produce U-type submarines, and the U-type submarines currently in service are looking for buyers.

After giving other instructions, Yannick announced the adjournment of the meeting and emphasized. "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs, but I hope this mistake will not happen again next time."

Everyone shouted in unison. "Your Highness, please rest assured!"

After leaving the conference room, Yannick was still a little depressed. If the Americans hadn't succeeded in diverting the troops away from the mountain, those US military fleets might not even be able to get close to the fleet and would have to be shot down by carrier-based fighter jets.

Sighing, he decided to go out and relax. It happened that the Algerian space launch base launched two satellites today, so Anne was asked to arrange a plane to fly to the space launch base.

But he arrived a step too late. When the plane landed at the space launch base airport, the two rockets carrying the satellite had already been launched, leaving only two white tracks in the sky.

He returned to the command room with everyone who came to greet him and listened to Dr. Obert explain that the launch this time was a communication satellite and a weather satellite. The design of these two satellites was also made by Yanik, and they were imitations of the first communication satellite "Echo 1" and the first weather satellite "Tyros 1" in the original space and time.

Among them, the structure of the "Echo 1" satellite is not very complicated. It is a large balloon about 30 meters in diameter. Of course, it is impossible for a rocket to hold such a large thing. The satellite is very small in the payload bay of the rocket and will only expand after entering the intended orbit.

Such a large balloon required 18 tons of air to fully inflate during ground testing. But in orbit, just a few pounds of gas is enough to keep it inflated. Even a small amount of excess air in a balloon can expand to a huge volume under the extremely low pressure in space.

As a balloon-type passive communication satellite, the outer shell of "Echo 1" is made of polyester film. Although the thickness is only 0.127 mm, it can withstand meteorite impacts of a certain speed and mass. The reason why the satellite is made into such a huge balloon shape is because this design can enhance the satellite's ability to reflect radio waves. For this reason, a primary layer of thin film metal material is specially coated to enhance the reflectivity.

"Tyros 1" is a drum-shaped satellite mainly developed using aluminum and stainless steel materials, with nearly 10,000 small solar cells affixed to its outer sides. The payload is equipped with two television cameras, one high-resolution and one low-resolution, an antenna for receiving ground commands, and four other antennas for transmitting television images to the ground. Two recorders are also installed on the satellite for temporary storage of satellite images when the satellite is outside the acceptance range of the ground station.

However, this time two satellites are launched at the same time. The "Tyros 1" satellite will transmit the signal to "Echo 1", and then "Echo 1" will transmit the signal back to the ground receiving center.

More than half an hour later, after some busy operations by the engineers, a black and white picture suddenly flashed on the giant screen with white snowflakes on the wall of the command room.

This is the picture of the "Echo 1" transmitting back the camera signal received by the "Tyros 1" satellite.

Looking at the "blurred" black and white picture, Yannick couldn't help but wonder in his heart what the hell this was. Satellite maps of later generations can even clearly see the license plate number on the ground. But now, except for the blurry outlines of the continents on the earth, almost nothing can be seen on the screen.

However, this picture made everyone in the command room burst into cheers, rushing to the big screen and pointing at the screen.

"This looks like Greenland!"

"It's a bit like, then this is the European continent?"

"This should be Germany."

Seeing a large group of engineers and scientists crowded in front of the screen chattering like a group of children, Yannick felt a strange emotion flash in his heart.
