Scapa Flow, Home Fleet Headquarters

"Your Excellency, Commander, and Your Excellency, the Minister of the Navy, want you to return to Fog City immediately and explain to him why the battleships of the Third Reich passed through the blockade and slipped into the Atlantic Ocean!"Vice Admiral Arthur Powell, Chief of Staff of the Fleet, reported.

Admiral Charles Forbes was also very troubled. How did he know how the battlecruisers of the Third Reich Navy slipped into the Atlantic Ocean?

But the problem now is the battlecruisers of the Third Reich Navy There has been a killing spree in the Atlantic, causing the Royal Navy to lose two light cruisers, eight destroyers, and 22 merchant ships transporting important supplies were sunk.

Although this information is kept secret, it is still in the empire where the sun never sets. There has been an uproar among the senior officials.

A large number of senior officials have begun to question what the Royal Navy is doing? Why did it make such a big mistake?

"Prepare a plane for me and I will fly back to Fog City immediately." said Gen. Charles Forbes.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"Lieutenant General Arthur Powell nodded.

When General Charles Forbes returned to the foggy capital by plane, Sir Dudley Pound was suffering the wrath of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. Now Neville Chamberlain was in a rage.

"Sir, you assured me that the Royal Navy can deal with the Third Reich Navy and ensure the security of our sea transportation lines. But now, the reality is that our merchant ships are being attacked by Third Reich submarines. In fact, even the battleships of the Third Reich had slipped into the Atlantic Ocean and started killing people! How can this make me trust the Royal Navy anymore? Such heavy losses have already caused the Sun Never Sets Empire to pay an unbearable price!"Neville Chamberlain was extremely angry.

"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, the Royal Navy will find a way to make up for it. The Third Reich navy was cunning and took advantage of bad weather to sneak into the Atlantic Ocean. However, the Royal Navy will definitely find them and annihilate them! said Sir Dudley Pound

"snort! Your Excellency. The crazy attacks by the Third Reich Navy have already posed a great threat to our maritime transportation lines. A large amount of supplies were damaged, which has gradually caused difficulties in supplying supplies in the country. If this continues, not only the lives of the people will face great difficulties. Maybe, the Navy's shipbuilding plan will also be affected." Neville Chamberlain said.

Sir Dudley Pound suddenly felt nervous.

In order to restore its strength, the Imperial Navy is frantically building battleships. Four Lion-class battleships are under intense construction. In addition, in terms of aircraft carriers, There are also a large number of orders being started.

These all require huge resources. Once resources are scarce, there is no doubt that the construction of these warships will be greatly affected, and may even be stopped, making it impossible to continue building.

"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, the Royal Navy will definitely ensure the safety of sea transportation lines!"Sir Dudley Pound said firmly.

Even if it is for the Royal Navy itself, they have to do their best!

Although the current Royal Navy is far from being able to compare with its peak period, the top brass of the Royal Navy have always been All are doing their best to revive the Royal Navy.

After returning to the Admiralty, Sir Dudley Pound was waiting for Admiral Charles Forbes.

When he returned, they immediately started discussions

"Your Excellency, Commander, we have just received information that there are far more than one warships of the Third Reich Navy slipping into the Atlantic Ocean, there are three in total. According to the information available, it should be an O-class battlecruiser of the Third Reich. Only such extremely fast warships can break through our blockade at night and enter the Atlantic Ocean before we can react."Sir Dudley Pound said.

Admiral Charles Forbes frowned tightly. He also felt the trouble of the situation.

Three O-class battlecruisers are not that easy to deal with.

"No matter what, we must kill the three O-class battlecruisers of the Third Reich to ensure the safety of sea transportation lines. Otherwise, there will be a very serious material supply crisis in the country. It even directly affected the construction of our Lion-class battleships and subsequent battlecruisers."Sir Dudley Pound said.

In order to restore the glory of the Royal Navy, the Royal Navy is also gritting its teeth and making every effort to build battleships.

A total of four Lion-class battleships will be built. In addition, the Royal Navy also has There are follow-up construction plans for Vanguard-class battleships. As for aircraft carriers, there are a large number of aircraft carriers being built or planned to be built.

And these require extremely huge resources.

"Yes, Your Majesty."Admiral Charles Forbes nodded.

"So, can the Royal Navy now dispatch battleships to encircle and suppress the three battlecruisers of the Third Reich Navy? asked Sir Dudley Pound

"Sir, we can mobilize the battlecruiser Hood, three Valorant-class battlecruisers, the second ship of the Renown-class battlecruiser Repulse, and two Nelson-class battleships. There were five battlecruisers and two battleships. In this case, it has an overwhelming advantage. In addition, seven more Kentshire-class heavy cruisers, five Southamptonshire-class light cruisers, three Gloucestershire-class light cruisers, four Aretussa-class light cruisers, nine F-class destroyers and nine A G-class destroyer. Form a huge encirclement and suppression fleet!"Admiral Charles Forbes suggested.

Sir Dudley Pound nodded.

In this case, it is indeed a big deal.

Two battleships, five battlecruisers, seven heavy cruisers, 12 light cruisers and 18

In terms of overall strength, the victory of the encirclement and suppression fleet is enough to crush the Third Reich's break-up fleet. Of course, the only trouble is that it is not that easy to capture the Third Reich's break-up fleet. Otherwise, With the strength of the Royal Navy, it is undoubtedly enough to easily solve them.

In the vast Atlantic Ocean, if the Third Reich's breaking fleet deliberately hides its whereabouts, it will be even more difficult to be discovered.

But the Royal Navy in order to ensure the safety of sea transportation lines For safety, we must do our best

"In addition, let's dispatch two more aircraft carriers to cooperate. Let Ark Royal and Fury be dispatched to cooperate with the fleet. This time, we must deal with the three battlecruisers of the Third Reich!"Sir Dudley Pound said through gritted teeth.

"Yes, Your Excellency!"Admiral Charles Forbes nodded._Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection, recommendation,
