Berlin time, June 5, 2:00 pm.

Minister of the Imperial Army and Chief of Staff Marshal Manstein, Minister of the Navy Marshal Raeder, Minister of the Air Force Marshal Albert Kesselring rushed to the palace together to meet the emperor Qin Tian.

"Your Majesty is taking a lunch break, please go to the office and wait for a while." Qin Tian's secretary said to the three ministers.

Marshal Manstein and the others nodded and headed to Qin Tian's office.

Ten minutes later, Qin Tian appeared in the office. Although he has the habit of taking a lunch break, it depends on the situation. The three important military ministers came to see him at this time, obviously something big happened. Otherwise, they wouldn't bother him at this time.

"Your Majesty, I am very sorry to interrupt your rest!" Marshal Manstein apologized.

Qin Tian waved his hand: "What happened? Is there an accident on the front line?"

"No, Your Majesty. All American capital ships and aircraft carriers, as well as a large number of heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers, have disappeared. We judge that those American warships have entered the Atlantic Ocean." Manstein said the marshal.

Qin Tian's face suddenly became serious. Of course he knew what that meant. Obviously, the main force of the U.S. Navy quietly entered the Atlantic Ocean, and it was definitely not for training. Its target must be the German Navy.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the Americans really want to go to war with us this time!" Marshal Raeder also said.

Qin Tian nodded: "We are on the Russian battlefield, and the Russians who have already fought are almost unable to hold on. Under such circumstances, the Americans will naturally be unable to sit still. This time, they probably really want to fight .

Marshal Manstein and others all looked at Qin Tian, waiting for him to make the final decision.

"This battle between us and the Americans has long been inevitable. Since the Americans are going to fight, we have no other way but to fight. So, order our fleet and prepare to fight! Even if the Americans do their best, they may not be able to defeat us. It is hard to say who will win in the end." Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Raeder replied.

"Your Majesty, apart from the Home Fleet and the Atlantic Fleet, will the Mediterranean Fleet be dispatched?" Marshal Raeder asked. The Atlantic Ocean is the main battlefield of the Home Fleet and the Atlantic Fleet, while the Mediterranean Fleet is more of a reserve force. Whether it is necessary to use the Mediterranean Fleet at this time, Marshal Raeder is temporarily unable to make a decision.

Qin Tian hesitated for a moment, and then made a decision: "Since the Americans are going all out this time, they are obviously going to put all their eggs in one basket and defeat us. Under such circumstances, we naturally don't need to make further reservations. The United States Since people want to have a decisive battle with us in the Atlantic Ocean, let us do what they want! Let the Mediterranean Fleet also fight. Try to defeat the main force of the US Navy in one fell swoop."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Raeder looked serious.

There is no doubt that the US Navy has dispatched the main force. And the German Navy also dispatched the main force this time. If the German Navy wins, they will be able to seize the initiative in the Atlantic Ocean in one fell swoop. It even poses a direct threat to the east coast of the United States. After the war in Russia has a result, Germany can even directly send troops to attack the mainland of the United States. But if the German navy loses this battle, the situation will become very unfavorable to Germany. At that time, Germany will have to rely on the air base established in western Europe to block the invasion of the Americans. If you want to defeat the United States again, it will be very difficult. Therefore, Marshal Raeder, the Minister of the Navy, undoubtedly endured tremendous pressure.

Of course, Marshal Raeder also believed that it would not be so easy for the U.S. Navy to defeat the German Navy when the German Navy dispatched its main force. As long as no fatal mistakes are made, the possibility of the German Navy defeating the US Navy is very high.

"The bases of the Imperial Air Force in the west should also be prepared. No one can guarantee that the U.S. Navy will take this opportunity to attack our western coastal bases." Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Air Force Minister Albert Kesselring replied.

Although the U.S. Navy is unlikely to attack western Europe until it defeats the German Navy. But no one can guarantee whether they will take the risk. Although that would not pose any threat to Germany, it could cause panic in Europe. After all, as Germany continues to win the war, the European people are mostly optimistic that Germany will win the final victory of the war. Even the people of European countries are looking forward to another victory for Germany. But if American shells and bombs fall on European soil, it will undoubtedly have a great impact on the confidence of the people of European countries. Therefore, Germany must avoid such a situation as much as possible.

"Everyone, the Americans have decided to fight. Then, the decisive battle between us and the Americans will begin. I hope we can win this battle!" Qin Tian said.

"The empire will win!" Several ministers were full of confidence.

Everyone knows that when the Americans want to do something, Germany's main energy has to be transferred from the Russian battlefield to the Atlantic Ocean. Fortunately, the German army now has an absolute advantage on the Russian battlefield. You only need to fight step by step to destroy Russia. This allows Germany to focus its main energy on the Americans.

Wilhelmshaven, the headquarters of the Home Fleet of the German Navy.

Marshal Ltjens boarded the aircraft carrier "Poseidon", the flagship of the German Navy's home fleet. The other warships in the port are also ready.

Half an hour later, the main force of the home fleet left Wilhelmshaven. Four 'Lord God-class' aircraft carriers, four 'Constellation-class' aircraft carriers, four 'Caesar-class' battleships, and four 'Brandenburg-class' battlecruisers, under the **** of a large number of cruisers and destroyers, sailed out port, into the North Sea.

Azores, Port of Heroes, Admiral Rolf Karls, commander of the Imperial Navy's Atlantic Fleet, boarded the Atlantic Fleet's flagship "Zeus" aircraft carrier. With the U.S. fleet missing, if the main force of the Atlantic Fleet continues to stay in the port, it will be courting death. Only by leaving the port and entering the vast ocean can we avoid being attacked by the US fleet, and even find opportunities for ourselves to fight back.

Soon, the main warships of the Imperial Navy's Atlantic Fleet sailed out of Hero Harbor and entered the vast Atlantic Ocean.
