The Third Reich: I Became Emperor

Chapter 45



""Your Majesty, are you looking for me?" Soon, Marshal Dönitz came to the City Palace, looked at August, and said respectfully.

At this time, the status of the Imperial Navy was very embarrassing. Although he was a naval marshal, he was actually not as good as some army admirals.

Fortunately, the submarine force was still powerful, and it occasionally broke out a little surprise.

"Yes, the new warships promised to you have been produced."August looked at Marshal Dönitz and said with a smile.

The easiest to win over among the navy, army and air force should be the navy, followed by the air force, and the most difficult to win over is the army, because there are too many factions in the army, and you can only win over one group and suppress another.

However, his prestige is not very high now, so there are not many means he can use.

"So fast?"It's only been a short time, and it's actually been produced? Dönitz was stunned for a long time, feeling a little unbelievable.

"Come on, let's go to Kiel Harbor." August said without further explanation.

Not long after, August arrived at Kiel Harbor accompanied by Marshal Dönitz. When they arrived at the port, they found that many people were surrounding the naval base.

When they walked forward and looked at the battleship in front of them, Marshal Dönitz took a breath and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"This is... a battleship?" Marshal Dönitz said tremblingly.

This was too unbelievable. Looking at the battleship in front of him, his breathing quickened a lot. After looking carefully for a while, he suddenly said

"Your Majesty, is this a North Carolina-class battleship?"

"Yes, you have a good eye. It is indeed a North Carolina-class battleship. I don't need to say more about the specific data. This is definitely the most advanced battleship of the contemporary era."

"I believe that with it, the navy should have the courage to go to sea."

"Behind it is the Essex-class aircraft carrier and ten Fletcher-class destroyers. August said with a smile.

Hearing this, Marshal Dönitz was stunned and stared at the battleship in the distance for a long time without saying a word.

"Oh my god, the Empire has battleships again"

"This...isn't this the North Carolina class?

"Great! Finally another battleship!"

"woo woo woo woo……"

Many navy soldiers looked at the battleships in front of them and couldn't help crying. No one knew how much pressure they were under. They finally had a battleship, but it was sunk within two years. Later, they stayed at the base and dared not go out to sea.

Now, they have another battleship and even an aircraft carrier. This is just like a dream.

"His Majesty the Emperor……"Marshal Dönitz looked at August with a complicated look in his eyes, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say

"Needless to say, I have only one request, the navy must have the spirit of showing the sword, and not be afraid of sacrifice. When we take over the oil fields, the navy will have a steady supply of warships. August patted Marshal Dönitz on the shoulder and said solemnly

"Yes, please rest assured! The Navy will not let you down."Marshal Dönitz said loudly.

………

At Essen Airport, ground crews were busy with their work in the hot weather.

The flatbed truck piled with aerial bombs, towed by a tractor, was approaching the belly of the Il-28 jet bomber little by little.

As for why they took off within the country, it was mainly to prevent leakage. There was no need to worry about the range, as the 2,200-kilometer range was enough for a round trip.

The ground crews were busy loading bombs on the Il-28 bombers, while the bomber pilots were confirming their targets in the barracks.

Unlike previous attacks, this time the Germans dispatched more aircraft than in the past.

A full one hundred Il-28 bombers took off, and there were also many ju88 bombers and Stuka bombers taking off from northern France.

Looking at the busy ground crew outside the window, the commander in the room repeatedly emphasized:"It is very important to maintain the formation. You are all driving the most advanced jet bombers, and the enemy's anti-aircraft artillery will not bomb you. Remember that all aircraft are not allowed to descend."

"Sir, is that a random bombing?" Someone couldn't help but ask

"Yes! Just fly into the sky and drop the bombs, and we will bomb the target for you when we take off." The German commander said seriously.

Another barracks also kept emphasizing discipline:"This time, there will be many planes escorting you. Don't worry, the British fighter planes can't catch up with you. All you have to do is drop all the bombs and then return. Do you understand?"

""Understood!" All the bomber pilots answered solemnly. Although they didn't know where to bomb, they already felt the importance of the bombing.

The ground crew was struggling to hang heavy bombs on the pylons of the Il-28.

On the wings of the aircraft, the mechanics were tirelessly checking the various conditions of the aircraft.
