In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, a huge fleet is sailing westward. This fleet is precisely the combined fleet composed of the German Navy's home fleet and the Atlantic Fleet. If the aircraft carrier fleet temporarily assisting them is added, the combat effectiveness of this fleet has exceeded 70% of the German Navy. No country in the world has the strength to confront such a powerful fleet.
On the flagship "Kaiser" battleship, Admiral Hipper, Admiral Holzendorf, Lieutenant General Richter Fels, Lieutenant General Burdick and Lieutenant General Schmidt are surrounding the east coast of the United States. Map research, research on those cities can be included in this attack target.
"Boston can be regarded as the northernmost large city on the east coast of the United States. It is also the first large city established by the Americans and has a very strong shipbuilding industry. Therefore, this city should be included in this attack." Hope Admiral Pell said.
The other four nodded repeatedly. Boston is indeed a very important city in the United States. If Boston's port and shipyard can be destroyed, it will be a great blow to the shipbuilding strength of the United States.
"New York should be next. This is the largest city in the United States and a financial center. At the same time, the port and shipbuilding are also very developed." Lieutenant General Burdick said.
"Well, New York is a city that must be attacked!" Admiral Hipper said.
"Should Philadelphia launch an attack?" Lieutenant General Richter Fels asked.
Admiral Hipper shook his head: "It is very close to the sea, far beyond the range of our naval guns. There is no need for us to attack Philadelphia along the Delaware River. The Lahua River is full of mines. Besides, there is no decent shipbuilding industry at all, and it would be a waste to dispatch carrier-based aircraft.”
"Baltimore must be destroyed. The shipbuilding industry there is also very developed. However, there is no need for the fleet to enter the bay. That would be too dangerous. The Americans can use small and medium-sized warships or even torpedo boats there, causing us great damage Threat. We only need to dispatch carrier-based aircraft in the Atlantic Ocean. Our aircraft carrier fleet has enough strength to destroy Baltimore’s shipyards and ports.” Admiral Holzendorf said.
"Okay, the task of destroying Baltimore will be handed over to the aircraft carrier fleet." Admiral Hipper said. On the one hand, if you want to attack Baltimore, the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier fleet is undoubtedly the best choice. On the other hand, this attack on the mainland of the United States is undoubtedly a great honor and credit, and the home fleet and the Atlantic Fleet cannot be allowed to take all the credit, right? The aircraft carrier fleet should also be involved.
"Below Baltimore is Washington. Should we send carrier-based aircraft to attack Washington? With the current air defense strength of the Americans, I am afraid there is no way to stop our bombing of Washington." Lieutenant General Schmidt said excitedly . If it is possible to bomb Washington, it will undoubtedly be an extremely heavy blow to the United States. At the same time, the German Navy will once again become famous all over the world.
"Attack Washington? If we really do that, the Americans will probably stay with us forever!" Lieutenant General Richter Fels said.
"The relationship between us and the United States is not much better now. If we want to say that we can't die, it's about the same. Once the United States becomes stronger, they will definitely go to war with us. If there is a chance to destroy the German Empire, the Americans will definitely I will not give up. Since this is the case, we naturally have nothing to worry about." Lieutenant General Burdick said.
"Whether to launch an attack on Washington is a big matter. Let's ask the country for instructions. If the country agrees, we will attack Washington. If the country does not agree, then forget it!" Admiral Hipper said.
Several other people nodded, and it is undoubtedly the best to leave this issue to the country to decide.
Next, several people discussed several cities that needed to be attacked. In general, not to mention taking care of every city on the east coast of the United States, but at least those cities with a developed shipbuilding industry are basically unable to escape. Compared with the newly developed west coast, the east coast of the United States is undoubtedly the most developed and prosperous. If the German Navy's attack plan is successful, many coastal cities on the east coast of the United States will be destroyed. At the same time, the US shipbuilding industry will suffer a devastating blow. Even relying on its strong industrial strength, the United States will be able to recover within a few years, but it will cost them a lot. At the same time, it will buy more time for Germany.
"In addition, there is another place that must be attacked!" Admiral Hipper said.
Several other people looked at Admiral Hipper, a little confused.
"Norfolk Naval Base! This is the most important naval base of the Americans on the east coast. If it can be destroyed, it will take a long time and a lot of financial and material resources for the Americans to rebuild this base!" Xi Admiral Pell said.
"However, if we want to attack the Norfolk naval base, we have to go to the mouth of the James River. There, I'm afraid it's a bit dangerous. Otherwise, let's hand it over to the aircraft carrier fleet!" Admiral Holzendorf said.
"The aircraft carrier fleet naturally needs to participate in it. However, our capital ship should join in it. As for the danger, if it is deployed properly, it can be dealt with completely." Admiral Hipper said.
After discussion, everyone finally agreed that an attack on the Norfolk Naval Base could be launched.
Finally, the fleet asked whether it could launch an attack on Washington, and there was a result. Qin Tian disagreed with launching an attack on Washington. Although, launching an attack on the mainland of the United States this time is tantamount to completely tearing apart the face with the Americans. But attacking Washington would be too politically charged. Qin Tian thinks that there is absolutely no need for this.
Since Qin Tian disagreed, the generals had no choice but to give up this goal.
Boston also became the first target of this German naval attack. The combined fleet of the German Navy hopes that after attacking Boston, it can launch an attack from north to south and completely sweep the east coast of the United States. Wait until all attack plans are completed before returning to Germany.
On the morning of March 12, the combined fleet of the German Navy approached Boston. The United States, on the other hand, knew nothing about it.
