Chapter 1231 Submarines will also appear
This is a good opportunity. Taking advantage of this opportunity, we will also collect all the maritime sovereignty in the future. The empire has the right to conduct comprehensive law enforcement inspections on the seas of the entire world, relying on the empire's powerful navy!
Thinking about the later generations of the United States having maritime hegemony, and that he looked like a gangster, he would just check the civilian ships of any country. He would be angry when he thinks about it. Now, we can finally do this.
Not only for the present, but also for the post-war world order, this is the Imperial duty.
"So, we don't have a coast guard ship yet," said Redell.
"It's hard to say. Just retiring some of our current high-speed ships into coast guard ships." Cialick said: "The displacement does not need to be too large, such as the German-class."
The German-class warship is a warship with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons. If you use this kind of warship as a coast guard ship, what other civilian ships dare to disobey?
Hearing this, Raidel nodded knowingly: "We still have many French and British ships, all of which can be used as coast guards."
Since it is a joint law enforcement in Europe, of course, it is necessary to bring other warships and 10,000-ton coast guard ships to run to enforce the law. This scene is intoxicating to think about.
At the same time, this matter was solved.
Germany uses European coast guard forces to conduct comprehensive law enforcement. It is inappropriate for the navy to take action against civilian ships, but the coast guard is different. After all, the police are here to manage public security, including maritime security.
If they don't accept it, then the Coast Guard will have an excuse to destroy them. Are they afraid of German-class Coast Guard ships?
If the United States wants to argue and says it is an international waters, then it can send representatives here. The two sides will argue internationally. In short, comprehensive law enforcement will not stop.
If the Americans were to send naval forces to protect them, the conflict would escalate, and their navy would have been waiting hungrily. Now the United States is working hard to deal with the situation in the Pacific Ocean. It would be enough for the Americans to feel at ease if the Atlantic Ocean does not expand. It is absolutely impossible for them to actively send warships to expand the conflict.
Germany has full confidence in this as many people come.
In this way, the United States' military aid to the Soviet Union was completely blocked.
A large amount of equipment and supplies can only be transported by sea. Americans do not have large transport aircraft, and if there is one, they will not be enough to squander like this, so going to sea is the only solution.
Don’t get involved in the affairs of the old continent!
"Head of Cialis, our approach can cut off the Americans' hands and feet on the Atlantic Ocean. However, we should see that the United States' support to the Soviet Union is not just one solution." Denitz spoke again.
Cialek nodded. Denitz's view was correct. There was more than one channel. The United States spanned two oceans, and the Soviet Union was the same. If it couldn't make any progress on the Atlantic Ocean, the United States would definitely turn to the Pacific Ocean.
The Atlantic Ocean is the shortest plan, because now the Soviet Union is mainly on the Western Front battlefield, and the unloaded equipment will soon reach the battlefield.
If the United States takes the Eastern Front, it can only be transported from Alaska to the Far East of the Soviet Union, and then the Soviet Union then crosses the entire Asian part through railways and staggers to the Western Front battlefield.
This is very twists and turns, but it is better than nothing.
In the history of later generations, many materials were indeed transported in this way.
Now, although the United States has not been smooth in the Pacific Ocean, and has been beaten by island countries to find teeth, almost losing its presence in the Western Pacific Ocean, Americans still have an advantage on the routes of the cold Arctic Circle.
Especially now that summer is about to arrive, the Soviet Arctic Circle route is also open, and American ships can be sent to the western part of the Soviet Union through the Arctic Circle route.
The island country does not have the ability, nor does it have the heart. The current island country is determined to seize various resources in Southeast Asia, so how could it run into the cold Arctic Circle to fight the Soviets to the death.
Only rely on yourself.
But now, Germany's strategy has determined that Germany's aircraft carrier formation will not appear in the Pacific for the time being, so it is only possible to deploy one weapon.
"Donitz, your guess is correct." Cialek agreed to Donitz.
Of course, Denitz didn't take it for granted and said casually. He just raised this question, just to dispatch the navy's submarine force.
On the route from Alaska to the Far East of the Soviet Union, using its own submarines to ambush those merchant ships is the only way. Anyway, the German Navy will not admit it at that time, and just push it all to the island country.
"However, our large ocean submarines are insufficient, and we cannot move there for a long time." Redell also knew what Cirick meant and couldn't help but say.
Now, the German Navy is advancing towards the ocean navy, and so is the German naval submarine.
The German Navy has long developed ocean-going submarines with a displacement of 1,000 tons, and now, the latest submarines in service are already big guys with a displacement of 2,000 tons underwater.
The one who ran to the Pacific to fight ambush was this type of xxi submarine.
However, this kind of submarine is still not enough.
The main power of the submarine is still diesel-electric technology. Even if Germany invented the snorkel technology, the submarine can only float to the snorkel state before it can be charged.
If you want to sail underwater, you need a battery, so the structure of the submarine has not changed. The diesel engine at the rear of the submarine is a battery at the bottom and a torpedo compartment in the front. The remaining space left for the submarine is quite small. In addition, it needs to carry more fuel, resulting in no significant increase in food and other things.
Such submarines have limited self-sustainability, and their target location is the Arctic Circle area of the Pacific Ocean, and their voyage is long.
If you walk the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, you will be wandering around most of the earth. Even if you walk the Indian Ocean and the Pacific route, it will be half the length of the earth, and it is very tense to go back and forth.
It was a good idea to have one or two submarines alone, but now they have been dispatched a lot. Replenishing these submarines with food, fresh water and fuel is a prominent problem. Germany does not have suitable allies in the Pacific Ocean to provide supplies, and it is even more impossible to find island countries.
Another route is much closer to the Arctic Circle, but now the German navy lacks training in this area. It is quite dangerous to approach the road in the Arctic Circle. Moreover, the territory of the Soviets along the way. If you pass by at the doorstep of others, you will be beaten at any time.
