On the afternoon of June 14, 1940, the German Admiralty. Emperor Qin Tian arrived here together with Marshal Manstein, Minister of War and Chief of the General Staff, and Marshal Albert Kesselring, Minister of Air Force.

Marshal Raeder, Minister of the Imperial Navy, Marshal Doenitz, Commander of the Navy's Submarine Force, and Marshal Ltjens, Commander of the Home Fleet of the Navy, Admiral Rolf Karls, Commander of the Atlantic Fleet of the Navy, and Hermann Hermann, Commander of the Mediterranean Fleet ?Admiral Bohm greeted Qin Tian at the entrance of the Navy Department. After the victory in the naval battle of the Azores, the three major fleets all returned to their home ports for rest. The commanders of the three major fleets took the seaplane to the country first, waiting for the imperial emperor to summon them.

Although the German Navy won the naval battle in the Azores, its own losses were not small. A large number of damaged warships need to be repaired, and lost carrier-based aircraft and pilots need to be replenished. Even ammunition and fuel, which are almost exhausted during the war, need to be replenished. Therefore, the German army did not pursue the US fleet.

In fact, the German fleet has no strength to continue fighting. They need to rest before they have the strength to continue fighting.

"Your Majesty!" The generals saluted Qin Tian respectfully.

With the victory of the Imperial Navy in the Battle of the Azores, it has undoubtedly established Germany's victory in this world war. It can be said that Germany's final victory in this war is already a certainty.

"Everyone, you have worked hard!" Qin Tian smiled. The generals and marshals of the navy were very happy to win the victory for the German Empire. Of course, it is inevitable that they will be promoted in the follow-up.

"Your Majesty, this is my responsibility, and it is my honor to be able to defeat a powerful enemy for the empire." Marshal Ltjens said.

Admiral Rolf Karls and Admiral Herman Boehm also nodded repeatedly. They were able to defeat the United States this time, and they undoubtedly made great contributions. It didn't take a second to think that they would be getting their coveted promotions soon. After completely defeating the United States at the latest, they will be able to get their wish and be promoted to admiral of the Imperial Navy. This is undoubtedly what both of them desire.

Under the leadership of Marshal Raider, Qin Tian and others entered the Ministry of the Navy.

In the war room of the Ministry of the Navy, Qin Tian and the generals of the empire began to discuss the next tasks and plans of the navy.

"Your Majesty, although the Imperial Navy has severely damaged the U.S. Navy and defeated them in this battle, our losses are not small. The sunk aircraft carriers and battleships cannot be made up for in a short time. However, those damaged main forces Ships and aircraft carriers need to be repaired as soon as possible. In this way, we will have enough strength to further suppress the US Navy in the Atlantic Ocean." Marshal Raeder said.

Qin Tian nodded: "The navy's damaged warships, instruct the major shipyards to speed up repairs! In the battle against the United States, they have to be further used."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Marshal Raeder replied.

"Your Majesty, the U.S. Navy dispatched a fighter with fairly good performance in this battle. This should be the F4U fighter we have learned from intelligence. I have to admit that the performance of this fighter is pretty good. It has barely competed with our carrier-based BF-109 fighters. Only the carrier-based FW-190 fighters can suppress them. I suggest that the carrier-based fighters of the local fleet, the Atlantic Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet be replaced with Carrier-based FW-190 fighter jets. Only in this way can the U.S. Navy be suppressed at the lowest cost." Marshal Ltjens suggested.

Qin Tian expressed his approval for this: "The production line of the carrier-based BF-109 fighter has been shut down, and the production of the carrier-based FW-190 fighter will be accelerated from now on. The carrier-based fighters on all aircraft carriers in the Atlantic Ocean will be replaced. Become a carrier-based FW-190 fighter. After there is excess production, it will be refitted for the aircraft carrier in the Pacific Ocean!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The general in charge of ordnance production replied.

"Your Majesty, the U.S. Navy was severely damaged in the naval battle of the Azores. However, overall, they still have considerable strength. Especially when the major shipyards in the eastern United States are stepping up to build warships, they The strength of the U.S. Navy will be restored soon. This will be a huge threat to the Imperial Navy. We need to formulate a new plan as soon as possible to prevent the U.S. Navy from regaining its strength!" Admiral Rolf Karls said.

During the Azores naval battle, although the Atlantic Fleet led by Admiral Rolf Karls suffered a lot, their results were also great. It can be said that the performance is very amazing.

"This is indeed a problem. Your Majesty, according to the information we have obtained, those shipyards on the east coast of the United States have begun to work overtime to build warships. It is said that the number of aircraft carriers built alone is as high as 20. It can be seen , Although the U.S. Navy lost this time. However, they are not convinced and want to challenge us!" Marshal Manstein said.

"Of course it is impossible for the Americans to be so convinced. They have also been preparing for this war for a long time. Although their navy has been severely damaged by us. However, they will not sit still. If they do not develop the navy , then they can only defend the North American continent and wait for us to attack them after we have wiped out the other enemies. Therefore, they are desperately developing their navy in the hope that they can defeat us in one fell swoop in the next decisive battle." Qin Tian said.

Qin Tian undoubtedly had a deep understanding of the intentions of the Americans. Qin Tian also believed that no matter how unconvinced the Americans were, after this naval battle, Germany had completely established its advantage. If the U.S. Navy wants to make a comeback, it is no longer so easy. It can be said that the possibility of the German Navy winning this naval battle will be very high.

"Your Majesty, we need to continue to weaken the strength of the U.S. Navy to prepare for future attacks on the U.S. mainland!" Marshal Manstein also said.

Just defeating the US Navy is not Germany's goal.

As Germany's main opponent, the United States is the only opponent competing with Germany for world hegemony. This makes Germany hope that in future operations, it can defeat the United States in one fell swoop, destroy the United States, and completely remove the threat of the United States to Germany. This also makes it necessary for the German army to land in the United States in one fell swoop in future wars and completely defeat them. The U.S. Navy undoubtedly became the first obstacle that must be cleared before the German army landed in the United States.
