Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

“Your Majesty, good news! The sun does not set, and people return in vain. The Lighthouse Nation did not accept their conditions, still unwilling to express its position to join the war, and still decided to remain neutral! Gustav Strezermann, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Germanic Empire, had a smile on his face.

“Haha! It seems that the Lighthouse Nation has made a wise choice! In this way, we will have no worries. August couldn’t help but laugh.

The previous worries have disappeared by this moment.

“Your Majesty, we still can’t take the Lighthouse Country lightly. Although, they did not promise that the sun would not set now. However, that doesn’t mean they’ll remain neutral forever. If they repented by then. In other words, after the sun does not set people put forward better conditions, they agree to the words of the sun does not set. Then, they will still be our enemies! Prime Minister Holwig said.

August nodded: “No matter what, it doesn’t matter if the Lighthouse Congress will not regret it.” For the Empire, the main thing now is to win this battle. Only when we win the war can we not be afraid of the Beacon Nation. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Both Holweg and Gustav Strezemann answered.

Although, it has now entered the cold winter. Large-scale military operations have stopped.

However, the Germanic Empire was preparing for a large-scale offensive in the coming year. A huge amount of supplies are being delivered to the front. At the same time, the mobilization of the army is accelerating. A large number of recruits braved the cold to train. Make sure that after the arrival of spring, the Germanic Empire will have enough troops to fight in the war.

However, for the Germanic Empire, although the war on land stopped. However, the war at sea did not stop.

The main force of the surface fleet of the Germanic Imperial Navy remained in the Baltic Sea, waiting for the moment.

One by one, the huge capital ships are still undergoing daily training to further improve the quality and combat effectiveness of the sailors.

At the same time, various shipyards are also working overtime to build warships, striving to make the capital ships under construction operational as soon as possible. In particular, the construction of the ‘Mackensen-class’ battlecruisers and the ‘Brunswick-class’ battleships further accelerated.

In the plan of the German Imperial Navy, when the Royal Navy fought a decisive battle on the same day in the future, the ‘Bavaria-class’ battleships, the ‘Braunschweig-class’ battleships and the ‘Mackensen-class’ battlecruisers were the absolute workhorses.

These behemoths equipped with 410 mm guns will become the backbone of the imperial Royal Navy.

After the outbreak of the war, the Germanic Imperial Navy stayed in the military port, or then trained in the Baltic Sea, always avoiding a decisive battle with the Imperial Royal Navy on the same day, which also made the officers and soldiers of the Germanic Imperial Navy have always held a breath in their hearts. When the Germanic Imperial Navy is ready, this qi may be able to be transformed into their indestructible fighting spirit and crush the Royal Navy of the Empire in one fell swoop.

However, during this period, the Germanic Imperial Navy was not inactive.

Especially after the annexation of the Kingdom of Danmai, it became easier for the Germanic Imperial Navy to enter the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.

The Germanic Imperial Navy has sent a number of diplomatic breakage fleets consisting of heavy cruisers and light cruisers into the Atlantic Ocean to attack the maritime transport lines of the Empire.

In the past few months, great results have been achieved.

The Empire’s sea transport lines in the Atlantic Ocean have suffered heavy losses.

This made the Royal Navy of the Sun Never Set Empire have to send a large number of ships to escort, which made the German Imperial Navy’s diplomatic breaking fleet have to converge a little.

After all, when the capital ships of the Germanic Imperial Navy were not ready to go to sea and fight a decisive battle with the Imperial Royal Navy, relying on these heavy cruisers and light cruisers alone was naturally not the opponent of the Sun Never Setting.

However, another killer feature of the Germanic Imperial Navy, the submarine force, became more active.

The current Germanic Imperial Navy has more than one hundred and fifty submarines in service.

Among them, except for nearly 50 early submarines of the early model, which can only operate in the North Sea, the other 100 submarines are all ocean-going submarines.

This type of submarine, named UBIII. type ocean-going submarine by the Germanic Imperial Navy, this kind of submarine, surface displacement of 550 tons, underwater displacement of 680 tons, length 57.8 meters, width of 5.8 meters, surface speed of 13.9 knots, underwater speed of 8 knots, surface endurance of 9,000 nautical miles, underwater endurance of 55 nautical miles. Equipped with five 533 mm heavy torpedo tubes, four in the front and one in the back, plus torpedoes filled in the torpedo tubes, it can carry a total of 10 torpedoes. In addition to this, there was an 88-mm rapid-fire gun. This kind of firepower can be called very powerful.

Even if it is the capital ship of the Royal Navy of the Empire that never sets, once it is attacked by a submarine and hit by a torpedo, it will be hit hard.

The submarine force of the Germanic Imperial Navy was very active in the Atlantic.

These submarines often ambush on the sea transport lines of the Sun Never Set Empire and launch attacks on the merchant ships of the Sun Never Set Empire.

In a few months, the merchant ships of the Sun Never Set Empire that they killed were already millions of tons.

This is undoubtedly an extremely heavy blow to the maritime strength of the Sun Never Sets Empire.

In order to protect its own transport fleet and attack the submarine forces of the Germanic Empire, the Royal Navy of the Sun Never Set Empire also came up with many methods.

Even at the expense of forming a large number of merchant ships, the Royal Navy sent a fleet to escort them.

But even then, the losses were not so small.

Once the maritime transportation capacity of the Sun Never Set Empire is dealt a devastating blow, this will be a disaster for the Sun Never Set Empire. They will no longer be able to transport the resources of the colonies back to their homeland, turn them into war materials, and put them into the war on the front line.

This made the Sun Never Set Empire even have to lease merchant ships from the Lighthouse Country, and let these merchant ships flying the Star-Spangled Banner of the Lighthouse Country transport supplies for them, so as to avoid being attacked by the submarines of the German Imperial Navy.

On the morning of January 31, off the coast of southeastern Greenland.

A pitch-black submarine emerged from under the surface, and the black hull indicated their identity with white paint. This is the submarine U-9 of the Imperial German Navy.

There were many more such submarines in the Germanic Empire. Also, there are many inside the shipyard. Like sea wolves in the Atlantic, they look for prey.
