"It has been a long time since the friendly aircraft carriers of the German Second Fleet took off fighter planes. At this time, it is time for the results to come out." As the commander of the Norwegian fleet, Oger felt unsure at this time.
Although the Norwegian Navy is also called the Royal Navy and the British Navy is also called the Royal Navy. However, the naval gap between the two countries is very different.
If the Germans could not defeat the British navy, then all the Norwegian warships present would just be an extra batch of burial goods for the German High Seas Fleet.
"No matter what the war situation is, we must fully accept all orders from Commander Redel of the German Navy. Even if the cost is heavy, we must not refuse!"
When he thought of Norwegian Prime Minister Quisling's repeated strict orders, Ogg felt bitter in his mouth.
The Norwegian regime was preserved with the help of the Germans. In return for this, the Norwegian government allowed the pro-German Quisling faction to take complete power and handed over important positions from all walks of life to these officials confirmed by the Germans.
.
I don’t know how the Germans happened to find Quisling, a Norwegian who wanted to please Germany. As soon as Quisling came to power, he immediately used his power to completely tie the fate of the Kingdom of Norway to the chariot of the Third Reich.
What he did was nothing short of loyal to Germany.
And such a Norwegian prime minister who was bent on pleasing the German government, after receiving a secret invitation from the German Navy Commander-in-Chief Raeder, almost without any detailed consideration, he agreed to this joint operation and provided Norway's only military force for the High Seas Fleet.
A main fleet.
Commanding this force, there are only 2 blond King Harald-class coastal defense ships, 2 Norwegian-class coastal defense ships, plus the Eight-legged Pegasus, the Odin, the Nordic Poseidon, the God of Light, the Thor, and the Nordic Vulcan.
With six large eight-legged Pegasus-class torpedo boats that could basically be regarded as escort destroyers, Ogg could say that he did not dare to relax for a moment.
When the British and French forces invaded Norway, the Norwegian Navy had already lost all 4 of its Nymph-class large torpedo boats and 2 of its Swift-class torpedo boats. Now, there is only one Norwegian warship left in the port, the Serenity large torpedo boat.
, and there are a bunch of shore defense boats that are just like the decorations.
In other words, 90% of the Norwegian Navy was brought to the German-Norwegian Combined Fleet by Oger. Once this battle fails, the Norwegian Navy will no longer be able to mention its strength.
"General, our liaison officer who stayed with the German Commander Redel has not received any news yet." The adjutant walked to Ogg's side, swallowed, and lowered his voice.
Having no news is more uncomfortable than getting bad news. This makes the officers and soldiers of the Norwegian Navy, whose fate rests on the German High Seas Fleet, like ants on a hot pot, constantly experiencing inner suffering.
Ogg, who was in the command room, was looking out the window at the majestic German warships in the distance, and for a moment he was a little distracted.
The Norwegian Navy may never have such a mighty fleet in its lifetime.
Yes, the German High Seas Fleet is something the Norwegian Navy needs to look up to. But does this mean that the High Seas Fleet is powerful enough and invincible?
If the opponent is a small country like Denmark, Belgium, or Norway, perhaps the High Seas Fleet does have an overwhelming advantage.
But if the opponent is the British Empire, that's not necessarily the case...
After a moment, Ogg shook his head with a wry smile, retracted his somewhat distracted gaze, looked at his subordinates and said: "The captains of each ship should go back and prepare. If the German first fleet fails, we will
We have to go up with their second fleet to meet the defeated army."
In front of the nervous faces of dozens of Norwegian naval officers, Ogg opened his mouth, but did not make a sound immediately.
What should he say now?
At this time, they should have received battle reports from the front. However, they have not received any news here.
Under normal circumstances, if you don't get the battle report from the front after the time when you should get the news, it is probably because you have lost the battle and there is no time to report back, or you have won the battle and you can take your time to report back.
In the face of the arrogant British Royal Navy, it was enough not to suffer a loss. Ogg did not dare to expect that the German allies could win a victory.
What type of country is Germany? It is a land power and has always followed the route of army dominance. They may be invincible on land, but the way they fight on the road is completely inapplicable on the sea.
As for Britain? Others are countries based on sea power, and they are "an empire on which the sun never sets" that relies on naval warfare to achieve superpower status.
Compared with such an enemy, the navy's hard power... Looking at the whole of Europe, it seems that no country can match it.
Originally, Germany almost caught up with it, but after the first battle, a "Rainbow Operation" caused Germany to lose all its main battleships. The current German navy, no matter how powerful it is, is at best a rising star. How can it compete with it?
A long-established maritime hegemon like the United Kingdom is more likely to fight naval battles.
The reason why it is called a rising star is because the German Navy started too late and lost too much time compared to the British Navy, which has never stopped developing.
Time has given the British Navy more complete experience, better training and more warships.
Although Ogg didn't know how many battleships the British had, he at least understood that this number was definitely more than the Germans.
It is not easy to win when fighting with less and more time.
Otherwise, why would the Germans even bring together a few battleships like Norway?
Don’t you want to make up for the gap with the British Navy and gain a little more strength?
It sounds reasonable to draw in all the forces that can be drawn together. But in fact, most of the people who need to do this are weak parties. It is precisely because of the lack of strength that they try to find ways to supplement their strength.
"Go back and prepare. It's time to repay the kindness of the Germans for sending troops to our country to help us defeat the British and French invaders." Oger didn't want to express his thoughts, but the reality seemed to force him to say this: "Even if
The whole army was wiped out, and today we have to live and die with our allies. Fight to the death and never retreat! This is the only reward that we Norwegians can do for our allies..."
From Ogg's words, his pessimism has been clearly revealed.
In his opinion, this naval battle was a mistake.
At the wrong time, a wrongly assembled joint fleet chose the wrong opponent and conducted the wrong military operation.
However, as soon as Ogg finished speaking, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
"Commander! Carrier-based aircraft," a combat staff officer stumbled open the command room door, and rushed to Ogg: "Carrier-based aircraft, German carrier-based aircraft... they suppressed
The British fleet and the battle situation on the front line are in a state of victory!"
The words of the combat staff officer were like a bomb, detonating the command room.
Ogg only felt an unbelievable feeling, his head was buzzing, and he felt dizzy...
