The Japanese joint fleet suffered heavy losses, and the base camp was temporarily replaced. Yamamoto Iroku once again took office, preparing to fight to the death with the Japanese Navy, which had lost its air supremacy... No matter how you look at it, this is a scene that looks quite tragic. The Internet is worthy of your collection... Just as the German Navy was heading towards the ocean with great courage, the Japanese Navy was driven back to its hometown in the middle of the ocean.

After being strengthened by the 232nd Division, General Yamashita deployed a complete combat plan in Malay. He learned from the lesson that the Japanese army was crushed on the beach by the US Navy and Air Force in the previous island battle, and deployed the main force at the core of the island. His plan was to counterattack the US troops in the jungle and mountains.

Unfortunately, he and the Japanese top leaders underestimated the losses of the US Navy in recent naval battles. As a result, when Yamashita Tomoto was waiting for the US Marines, the US Navy had actually returned to Pearl Harbor, while the Marines were repairing nearby islands and Australia. The precious time passed by minute by minute, the Japanese were waiting for the joint fleet to regroup, and the Americans were waiting for their new aircraft carrier to serve.

Of course, there are no need to wait in this world, or the waiting time has passed. On the third day when the Japanese Navy severely damaged the US Navy, Lütjens led his terrible aircraft carrier fleet and set off from William's military port in a mighty manner. He wanted to lead the fleet around the North Sea and carry out an air strike against Iceland.

Compared with the Japanese-US naval battle, the German Navy's family was obviously not as strong as it seemed. Although the German Navy's achievements in the Atlantic Ocean were not inferior to those in the Pacific battlefield, it still could not conceal the shortcomings in the number of main warships of the German Navy. This time, Lütjens led the main force of the German Navy's high seas fleet, and only three aircraft carriers were accompanying him at all costs.

The last time the USS Mai aircraft carrier was sent to the shipyard for overhaul after its last flight, and the USS Tirbitz was also undergoing modern modifications. Lütjens had to change his flagship to the USS Imperial aircraft carrier, and sailed towards Iceland with the oldest Zeppelin and Prussia.

Lütjens has been half happy and worried recently, and his fleet no longer has to fall into an embarrassing situation of not being able to sail due to oil tension, which made him happy. He even proposed various plans to fight the British Navy in a decisive battle with the British Navy, hoping to complete the dream of completely defeating the British Royal Navy and allowing the German Navy to top the world's number one. However, when the German intelligence department confirmed the shipbuilding plan that the US Navy was implementing, he, the commander of the German Navy's high seas fleet, immediately fell into a bleak cloud.

According to a report from the Army Intelligence Department, the US Navy is building 10 Essex-class aircraft carriers at the same time. Four of these aircraft carriers have adopted a special bow design, which is obviously prepared for the Atlantic sea conditions. The German Navy Command, who obtained this information, was completely shocked by the United States' powerful industrial manufacturing capabilities. Only then did they realize that it seemed that it was far from enough to defeat the British Royal Navy to ascend to the throne of the world's No. 1 navy.

Who would have thought that when the United States was fully mobilized to enter a state of war, it had the ability to produce thousands of tanks, nearly 100,000 aircraft and nearly 100 ships at the same time. These weapons and equipment were even more than the American weapons destroyed by Germany, which inevitably made people who knew about this situation feel pessimistic.

At this time, everyone remembered why the head of state insisted on gritting teeth and carrying the pressure of huge losses after attacking France. Regardless of the pressure of Soviet troops, they were determined to fight a landing war in Britain. If it had not defeated the British mainland, Germany might have been submerged in the ocean of American-made aircraft and cannons.

"Even if we have 3,000 ace pilots, we can't withstand such terrible consumption." This is the solemn statement made by Air Force Commander Marshal Catherine after seeing the total production of US aircraft. He even pessimistically believed that the Luftwaffe could barely have the power to fight with the United States even now. If we want to maintain our advantage, we will at least add 2,000 fighters and 4,000 bombers.

Lütjens looked at the port, the Evil Dragon aircraft carrier and the Blücher aircraft carrier, and finally withdrew his gaze as the aircraft carrier moved. He had only collected 7 aircraft carriers in his hands. The Americans were not sunk, but they were about to have more than 10 aircraft carriers. This naval resource competition is really a rhythm of people comparing people and pissing people off.

Unfortunately, he doesn't know that if it were in history, Lütjens had only a pitiful battleship. He was surrounded and intercepted by the Royal Navy of the British Empire without even seeing it. With his luck in exchange for luck, he was eliminated on the Atlantic Ocean in a few days.

Now he has 7 aircraft carriers in his hands to fight, and it is already the number of possessions his head of state that he has tried his best to buy for him. Germany is not a chosen country with rich resources like the United States, and it is impossible for him to leave the army behind to develop the navy and air force first. This destined that Germany can only pursue continental militaryism like China, and the army will always occupy an important position in priority development.

This time, Lütjens did not even accompany the battleship of the Navy Marshal Redel. After shelling Iceland, the warship did not return to Germany. Instead, it was ordered to go to the northern United Kingdom for a friendly visit. After replenishing fuel at Liverpool, it went south to Gibraltar for repairs. The German Navy is working hard to adapt itself to the new role of the global navy, which inevitably leads to the disadvantage of dispersed forces. However, at present, the German Navy has no natural enemies in the Atlantic waters, so this degree of dispersed forces is still beyond the tolerance of the German high-level officials.

"Let the destroyer detachment radar turn on and search for nearby waters." After watching his fleet drive out of William's military port, Lütjens issued the first combat order for this departure. The naval aviation's carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft was ready and parked on the deck waiting for takeoff and could rush into the sky at any time. The entire fleet was normal, and it drove a speed of more than 20 knots soon.

The navy is not so much burning oil, but more vivid in terms of money. Heavy oil will consume tens of thousands of tons at any time. If these oil is replaced with gasoline and diesel, it can be consumed by a tank army for several weeks. In addition to equipment wear and maintenance, ammunition consumption and personnel consumption - only the navy can be considered a real luxury consumption compared to the Army and the Air Force.

Just on the Imperial aircraft carrier Lütjens, in the huge canteen, more than 1,600 breakfasts are prepared every day before 7 o'clock, and then the same amount of lunch is prepared before 12 o'clock - if there is a combat mission, the time may be tighter. The entire battleship is made of tens of thousands of tons of steel, and every weld and every rivet is checked every day. This is not a war with the enemy, but a battle with oneself.

"Take off anti-submarine helicopters, patrol nearby waters... Let the patrol planes take off, guard the nearby airspace... hurry up and train, it is not easy to sail once!" Lütjens looked at the officers of various departments on the busy bridge and continued to order.

On the surface, the navy's tense oil reserves seemed to have been alleviated, but Germany's oil shortage was only partially alleviated. The head of state was simply talking nonsense in the Wartime Economic Development Report, and actually promised to take the lead in the implementation of lifting fuel consumption restrictions in core cities such as Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich, Paris, Rotterdam and Warsaw. This move made civilians applaud, and at the same time, it added 3 million civilian motor vehicles to a new level.

The military was very dissatisfied with the measure to cancel the oil restriction order, because this measure allowed Germany's fuel reserves to not reserve a drop of oil after expanding production capacity in Libya's oil fields. Guderian even wrote to ask why Akado had to dismantle the military's Taiwan at this time, but after Akado replied, he never mentioned the topic of national oil policy again.

In fact, Akado was also helpless. He had to at least take out a portion of the war dividends to the people so that he could have the confidence to reconcile the various domestic conflicts brought to Germany by the war. He and his propaganda department have been promoting the various benefits of the war, but those who believe in the head of state need to see those benefits with their own eyes.

As the war continued, Akado was actually lifting many restricted industries. First of all, it was the most important food industry. When the German army invaded Ukraine, Akado liberated the wartime limit order for its own country to restrict food transactions. At that time, the German side was also dissatisfied for a while, but the subsequent stable food prices and domestic support for the head of state rose. The lifting of the restriction achieved good results.

Immediately afterwards, Akado, who had the sweetness, once again played this method. He then canceled the alcohol restriction order and allowed Germany and France to openly sell various types of fine wines on weekends. This move once again made the Third Reich boil. The war seemed to be getting farther and farther away from them, and a beautiful life seemed to have begun.

The more bold Akado then took out 20% of the steel production and allocated it to entrepreneurs to produce more civilian products. This is also the fundamental reason why Linas could control some of Norwegian iron ore later. Although the process was a little unpleasant, Akado still felt that this method of taking it from the civilians and gaining more support from the German people.

So this time, in terms of oil, he began the same reform.
