Jagged Germany: Chapter 1234 Emergency combat readiness seeking monthly ticket

  Lion City, the home port of the German Navy's Pacific Fleet. Most of the capital ships of the Pacific Fleet are anchored here. In addition to the Lion City, there is also Cam Ranh Bay in Annan, which is also an important base.

  Because the situation is getting more and more tense, all the main warships of the Pacific Fleet have returned to the home port of Lion City, waiting for orders. Patrols in the outer waters are all small and medium warships. In addition, the submarine force under the Pacific Fleet has deployed a large number of submarines in the western Pacific Ocean, especially along the coasts of island countries, to closely monitor the movements of the island country's navies.

  In the Pacific Ocean, the navies of island countries are the biggest enemy of the German Navy. All the main forces of the U.S. Navy are gathered in the Atlantic Ocean, as if they have completely given up on the Pacific Ocean and are fighting with Germany for control of the Atlantic Ocean. This also forced the German Navy to deploy heavy troops in the Atlantic Ocean. After all, for Germany, the Atlantic Ocean is also a fundamental place, and there must be no mistakes. Otherwise, the homeland will be threatened. In that case, the battle situation will have a very big impact.

  The strength of the island nation's navy is also very strong. Originally, with the national strength of the island country, it was impossible for them to maintain such a powerful navy. However, with the full support of the United States, the navy of the island country can develop rapidly. If the German Navy's Pacific Fleet is alone, I am afraid that it will not be an opponent of the island navy. Only by cooperating with the Indian Ocean Fleet can they have a chance of winning.

  Of course, this is barely a chance of winning. There are too many uncertain factors in the naval battle, and a little carelessness may lead to the defeat of the naval battle. Before the final result comes out, no one can guarantee that the final victory will be achieved.

  On the morning of January 29, 1940, a telegram broke the tranquility of the German naval base in Lion City. Admiral Konrad Abbrecht, commander of the Pacific Fleet of the German Navy who had just woken up, summoned Lieutenant General Oscar Kumetz, Chief of Staff of the Fleet, Lieutenant General Theodore Burchardy, commander of the battleship formation, and Commander William Canaris Lieutenant General.

"Gentlemen, the U-204 boat just sent a telegram. They found that all the warships of the island navy in the Sasebo Naval Port have disappeared. I think this is something we should be vigilant about. Therefore, I have decided that from now on, the entire Pacific Fleet, enter the highest state of combat readiness, and be ready to prevent surprise attacks by the navy of the island country at any time!" Admiral Konrad Abbrecht said.

   "Your Excellency, Commander, is the navy of the island country coming at us? Maybe it's just a simple transition." Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Oscar Kumetz said.

   After all, once the fleet enters the highest state of combat readiness, it is almost equivalent to entering actual combat. The island country has not declared war with Germany now, so it is too drastic to react now.

Admiral Konrad Abbrecht shook his head: "The current situation is tense, and we cannot be too cautious. After all, the comprehensive strength of the island nation's navy is much stronger than our Pacific Fleet. Once attacked by an island nation Human raids, if the losses are heavy, the consequences will be very serious. We must not give the navy of the island country a chance to attack us!"

   Admiral Konrad Abbrecht has been the commander of the Pacific Fleet for several years, and he has been focusing on the navy of island countries over the years. Because he knows that in this world war, the navy of the island country is his biggest enemy. If they fail to defeat the island navy, the huge island army will land in Nanyang. Although the German Army has deployed 400,000 elite troops in Nanyang, General Konrad Abbrecht does not think that the Army is capable of defending Nanyang. The only way is for the German navy to defeat the island nation's navy, so that Nanyang will be spared. Without the cover of the navy, no matter how powerful the army of the island country is, it is impossible for them to swim to Nanyang.

   "This afternoon, the capital ship formation and the aircraft carrier formation all leave the home port and prepare for battle!" Admiral Konrad Abbrecht continued to order.

  If the islanders really dare to go to war, it is undoubtedly very dangerous to let the main force of the fleet stay in the port at this time. This is tantamount to giving the empire a living target. If it is attacked by the enemy with all its strength, the loss will be very serious.

   "Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." Lieutenant General Oscar Kumetz and Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi both replied. They all knew the purpose of Admiral Conrad Abbrecht in doing so.

   "Your Excellency, if we find the main force of the island nation's navy at sea, can we launch an attack first?" Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi asked.

Admiral Konrad Abbrecht hesitated for a moment, and then said firmly: "If you really discover the main fleet of the island navy and the situation is favorable to us, I authorize you to take the initiative to launch an attack. All I will bear the responsibilities and consequences. Later, I will ask the Ministry of the Navy for instructions."

   "Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." Lieutenant General Theodore Burchardi nodded. After obtaining this authorization, they will be much more flexible in dealing with the crisis.

  No matter what, it will be inevitable that the island country and Germany will be enemies. Even if the two sides have not yet torn their faces, they will really start a war. But Admiral Konrad Abbrecht is also very clear that if there is an opportunity to seriously damage the navy of the island country, they will definitely not let it go. In this case, the German navy will have an advantage in the Pacific Ocean. The next battle will also be easier. Therefore, even if it is a risk to provoke a war, the country will never pursue it. Not only that, but I'm afraid he will record a great achievement for him.

   "Your Excellency, Commander, do we want to inform the Indian Ocean Fleet?" asked the Fleet Chief of Staff Oscar Kumetz.

   "Well, the Indian Ocean Fleet needs to be notified. This time our two fleets will join forces to deal with the islanders! Let them be careful." Admiral Konrad Abbrecht said.

  The strength of the Pacific Fleet alone is difficult to overwhelm the navy of the island country. Only by uniting with the Indian Ocean Fleet will they have a chance of winning.

  That afternoon, the main fleet of the German Navy’s Pacific Fleet left its home port in Lion City. Five "King-class" battleships, three "Derfflinger-class" battlecruisers, and four "Constellation-class" aircraft carriers, these are the main force of the Pacific Fleet. In the northern waters of Australia, there are four "Nassau-class" battleships, three "Blücher-class" battlecruisers, and four "William the Great-class" aircraft carriers of the Indian Ocean Fleet.
