.In the hazy, Chen Tian seemed to see a person, a thin young man wearing glasses and an oriental hole. Chen Tian tried hard to think of who this person deep in his memory, but he could never remember...

Hey...hey...hey...hey...

Chen Tian found that everything in front of him had disappeared.

Hey...hey...hey...hey...

This time, he finally returned from his dream to reality. It was the sound of his fingers gently tapping on the teak door. After a series of knocks, the voice of Feng Kluke, the attendant on duty:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"Uh..." Chen Tian opened his eyes with great effort, and there was darkness around him, so he turned on the bedside lamp. The sudden light made his eyes a little uncomfortable.

Hey...hey...hey...hey...

The knocking sounded again, and the interval was so close that the eagerness of the knocker was self-evident.

"Come in!" Chen Tian gently rubbed the remaining eye poop in the corner of his eyes and yawned naturally.

The young attendant explained nervously as soon as he entered the door: "Your Majesty, I'm very sorry to disturb you for rest! But Marshal Boer said that the military situation was very urgent, so..."

"Oh!" Chen Tian opened his eyes again, and indeed saw Boer's familiar figure outside the door, "Please come in!"

While the attendant walked out the door, Chen Tian tried hard to wake him up completely. This was not the bedroom of Olaf Palace, but the emperor's bedroom of the Supreme Command. He lifted up the curtains and looked out. There were only extremely faint yellow street lights, and the night was still dark.

Then, the stern-looking Marshal Hu Ge Feng Boer quickly walked to a place five steps away from Chen Tian. He first saluted a military salute, and then went straight to the point without saying anything else:

"Your Majesty, we have just received a telegram from General Spee. The fleet he sent successfully damaged the Japanese police fleet anchored in Qingjin Port at 4 pm local time. However, on the way back, this fleet consisting of battlecruisers Seedlitz, heavy cruisers Schanehorst, Gneisenau, escort aircraft carrier Klester and other ships was suddenly attacked by a large number of Japanese land-based aircraft and unknown Japanese submarines about 100 nautical miles away from Sea Cucumber. As a result, the "Sedlitz" was severely damaged. Gneisenau and Klester were sunk in battle!"

"What?" Chen Tianteng sat up from the bed. At this moment, he could hardly believe his ears. The invincible German Navy had become so fragile, let alone the Japanese had barely encountered such a dilemma. Although the "Sedlitz" that entered service in 1913 was not a first-class main ship, it also had a displacement of 30,000 tons after modernization and major modifications, a double-equipped 305mm main gun, a speed of 28 knots, a 6,000 nautical miles of endurance, a sonar, a radio detector and other advanced equipment. In addition, the German Navy has always been proud of the ship design, armor quality and loss-tube technology, this warship is enough to take on the shoulders of the world. In addition, the German Navy has always been proud of the ship design, armor quality and loss-tube technology. This warship is enough to take on the world.

The main battleships of any country except Japan; as for the "Gneisenau" and "Clester". One is a new warship that has been launched less than two years ago and is known as an aviation cruiser. Its mission is not only to confuse opponents. As the helicopters gradually become practical, it and the sister ship "Leipzig" will become the first helicopter carrier. Unfortunately, the bright future has stopped in this cold Sea of ​​Japan; "Clester" is a Leopold-class light escort aircraft carrier that has been in service for 7 years. This class of escort aircraft carriers once showed their skills in the German-US war. They were found in the main fleet, merchant ship escort fleet and even local defense fleets.

"Your Majesty, the information has been verified. The sinking time of the 'Gneisenau' is at 5:23 pm local time. The sinking time of the 'Klester' is only less than 10 minutes apart. Now..." Boer shook his left hand and showed off his golden Rolex waterproof and dust-proof watch. He lifted his wrist very close to his eyes, "It's less than 25 minutes! Your Majesty!"

At this time, Chen Tian was no longer interested in applauding the efficiency of the German naval department's information transmission. He not only felt sorry for the two sunken warships, but also worried about what was behind this failure. Is it his own carelessness or the other's new tactics that work, which will greatly affect the situation in the Far East and even the entire course of the war.

"I want to know the whole battle process, the more detailed the better!" Chen Tian lifted the quilt, and didn't care whether it was rude to walk in pajamas in front of the general, and then quickly walked towards his wardrobe.

Boer's gaze and body moved accordingly with Chen Tian. At this time, he should be glad that his monarch was not the kind of irritable guy. If the head of the Third Reich standing in front of him was the head of the Third Reich, the consequences of such a basin of cold water would probably be a storm like a storm.

"Yes. Your Majesty! The latest battle situation is coming one after another, and we will be able to organize a more detailed information soon! It is now that the local area is already at night, and it is estimated that the Japanese air strikes have stopped, but this also brings great trouble to our work in searching and rescuing those who fall into the water! When the situation outside the Hong Kong is still unknown, General Spey has not yet led the main force to leave the sea cucumber power!"

"Well, he did it right. It is hard to guarantee that the Japanese will not block our military port with mines or submarines! They will use their own way. Humph, the Japanese really know how to learn and use it now!" Chen Tian said angrily while opening the wardrobe.

"Fortunately, the Japanese fleet berthed in Niigata was trapped in the port by our mines. Otherwise, the situation would be very troublesome!" Boer was still standing in place, just like the three Japanese fleets stationed in Niigata, Sasebo and Yokosuka. According to the report of German reconnaissance aircraft, since the German mine-burning submarines successfully laid a large number of mines outside the three ports, as of the evening of that day, those Japanese surface ships with fierce fire had not yet left the port, including the aircraft carriers of the Japanese Navy.

"Oh, well! Although the mine is a weapon with simple technology and low cost, mine removal is a major problem that has plagued the navies of various countries for a long time, even if we are no exception! Therefore, on the one hand, we must strengthen mine laying along the coast of Japan, and on the other hand, we must be careful of the mine laying operations of the Japanese Navy!" Chen Tian said as he picked out the gray military uniform he often wore from the closet. Don't think that the emperor must have the help of his servants to change his clothes. Chen Tian is not old enough, so there is no problem with wearing clothes by himself. As for mines, even in the era when he came, it was also a headache for the navies of various countries. It was much harder than eliminating landmines.

When Chen Tian, ​​who had put on military uniforms, walked into the Far East War Command Hall with Boer, the officers there were busy and saw the German Emperor and the Navy Minister coming in. They just stopped to salute and then continued to do what they were doing. In front of the huge sand table, Prince Heinrich, Zuxiong, Benk and Radell were frowning and watching the staff update the miniature models representing the combat troops on both sides based on real-time information. Marshal Reinhardt and Schell were not able to see because this outstanding naval general had to recuperate from his old illness, and his position as commander-in-chief of the fleet was temporarily replaced by Prince Heinrich.

After returning to the greetings from several generals, Chen Tian asked, "How is the situation?"

"We are afraid we will give up the 'Sedlitz'!" Prince Heinrich told Chen Tian in a low tone, "Our destroyer has found no less than 20 Japanese submarines in the nearby waters, but there are only 6 destroyers in the fleet. In order to avoid further increase in the losses..."

"I understand!" Chen Tian already knew what Heinrich was going to say. Instead, he turned his attention to the sand table, "Did the Japanese fleet in Niigata Port have any actions?"

"It's not clear yet!" Redell, who served as deputy chief of staff of the Admiralty, took over.

"Find out as soon as possible!" Chen Tian did not believe his mine-branching submarines, but the effect of mine-branching was not foolproof. It had a lot to do with the terrain, current, the type of mines laid out, and the opponent's mine-sweeping power. When the East Coast of the United States was blocked, the German mine-branches and mine-branches and aircraft blocked several ports such as New York and Boston, but several ports such as Miami and Gal were always able to pass through small ships and submarines, which enabled the US submarines to use these bases to raid German maritime transportation lines near the Gulf of Mexico.

Radell agreed almost without thinking, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

It seems that the third team of the Japanese joint fleet, which is located in the Japanese military port that is known as Japan's largest port and is closest to Sea Cucumber, has long become a "thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh" of German naval generals. At this time, the four Japanese battleships "Namen", "Muo", "Kato" and "Kashima" gathered there, which are already above the Spe fleet. In addition, there are Japan's most powerful battlecruiser "Tianchi", "Akagi" and one of the two converted heavy aircraft carriers after Yukii's battleship, "Awaji". Although this type of aircraft carrier is "half-way", its displacement of 42,000 tons and its carrying capacity of 100 aircraft are comparable to that of the German Ernst-class heavy aircraft carrier. In this way, even if it has the Ernst-class aircraft carrier "Georg", the Spe fleet must try to avoid head-on battles with the Japanese fleet formed by these seven battleships.

After a while, the staff compiled the battle information and Lieutenant General Redel was responsible for explaining it. Chen Tian then realized that the fleet sent by Spe was very smooth in the first half of the operation. When they arrived near the port of Qingjin, the Japanese police fleet stationed in the port was as informed as before, as the old battleship "Anyi" and a light cruiser, four destroyers, seven gunboats, and nine torpedo boats. There was also a small military airport and less than 20 military aircraft nearby. Afterwards, the fleet commander first sent carrier-based aircraft of the "Clester" and "Gneisenau" to launch air strikes on Qingjin. Most of the Japanese fighter jets were destroyed on the ground, and several of them were barely taken off and were quickly shot down.

Next, the "Sedlitz" and "Schernhorst" began to bombard Qingjin Port and nearby targets under the cascade of carrier-based aircraft. Seeing this, the Japanese commander could no longer hold back, so he brought a former fearless battleship "Anyi" with a displacement of 19,800 tons, 674 305mm guns and 10 254mm guns, and other ships in the port all left the port to fight. Although the "Anyi" was only two years earlier than the "Sedlitz" in Germany. It was technically far behind this German battle patrol, which was born during the British-German naval competition. After a few rounds, the "Anyi" brought hundreds of officers and soldiers on the ship to see the King of Hell. Most of the remaining Japanese ships were also cleaned up by the German fleet one by one. In the entire battle, only "Sedlitz" ate a few unpainful shells, and the rest of the ship was intact.

After the battle on the sea, the German fleet did not spend much effort to ravage the port that originally belonged to the Koreans. After clearing the battlefield, they embarked on a journey back. However, no one expected that after learning that Kiyoto was raided, the Japanese army quietly mobilized four land-based aviation squadrons that were originally intended to attack the Sea Cucumber Via. Japanese submarines that were patrolling the waters near the Sea Cucumber Via were also urgently summoned. The fierce sea-air war began under such circumstances.

The German fleet returned to victory was more or less proud, but this was not the main reason for the failure. General Spee was cautious and left the main aircraft carrier in the Sea Cucumber Power. Although there was a light aircraft carrier and an aviation cruiser in this fleet, the total of all carrier-based aircraft was only 33. Faced with the repeated attacks of more than 100 Japanese land-based fighter jets, the brave German carrier-based aircraft pilots were unable to turn the tide. Under the fierce attack of Japanese land-based bombers, "Sed"

Litz, Kleister and Gneisenau were shot one after another, and the latter two warships were seriously injured due to their relatively weak armor. Just as the German fleet was busy dealing with Japanese fighter jets in the air, Japanese submarines patrolling nearby also arrived one after another. Iran 12, Iran 31, Iran 24, and Iran 27 successively launched torpedoes to three injured German ships. Although the accompanying German destroyers quickly sank three Japanese submarines and drove away the others temporarily, the only three German ships were "Sedlitz".

A ship can still float on sponge, and hundreds of tons of sea water is pouring into the cabin from the thunder, and eventually the German officers and soldiers have to abandon the ship.

"We seem to be underestimating the Japanese Navy!" After listening to Redel's report, Chen Tian said with some regret. In fact, Japan's war preparations are more sufficient than what the German intelligence agencies estimate. Although the Japanese army and navy aviation forces rarely have the opportunity to attack each other's ships in actual combat, their daily training subjects contain a large amount of relevant content, and the Japanese submarine force is also a force that is easier for people to ignore. Although their number and technology are not outstanding, they always possess the essence of a sea hunter.
