The Soviet has a vast territory and is a country across the Eurasian continent. Therefore, the Soviet Navy has also been divided into different directions.

For example, in '41, the Soviet Navy had four fleets far away from each other.

The three largest fleets are the Baltic red flag fleet based in Tallinn (Reville), the Black Sea fleet based in Sevastopol and the Pacific Fleet based in Vladivostok.

In later generations, the largest northern fleet is now the smallest, based on the ice free port of polyarnoye (near Murmansk).

Of course, there are some small fleets, such as the White Sea fleet, the Pinsk sub fleet, the Danube sub fleet, etc. These are too small to mention for the time being.

At this time, the Baltic red flag fleet was the largest fleet of the Soviet Union. Originally, the fleet base was set in the rear in karangstad. However, last year, the Baltic Fleet base moved forward to Tallinn, and karangstad was left as the rear support base.

Now, with the rapid advancement of Germany on land, the Baltic Fleet is facing a difficult choice.

"The German northern Legion has reached Latvia. Now, our base will be threatened at any time. " Said trebz, commander of the Soviet Baltic Fleet.

In front of Latvia is Estonia, which is their fleet base. In this case, what should the Baltic Fleet do?

"We must not watch the Germans wreak havoc on our land. Our fleet can protect our port with naval guns. We will not be afraid of the Germans." In addition to the fleet commander and staff, the captains of large warships were present.

Now it is the captain of the battleship Mara, the flagship of the Baltic Fleet.

A few years ago, the Soviet Union had been planning to build Soviet class battleships, which gave people an illusion. It seemed that the Soviet Union had no battleships, and in history, the Soviet Navy had not fought any earth shaking battles. The Red Navy was most famous for fighting on land.

However, this does not mean that the Soviet did not have any big ships. After all, the Soviet inherited the mantle of tsarist Russia. In the Tsarist Russian era, there were still a number of battleships.

In the Baltic Fleet, there are two battleships, the Mara and the October Revolution. These two battleships are the pillars of the Baltic Fleet.

At the beginning of the war, Germany attacked at night. Under the complex weather at night, the Germans could not cause too much damage to the Soviet fleet. Moreover, the main mission of the German troops in the three directions at that time was to defeat the opposite Soviets. Their fighters were mainly used to paralyze the enemy's fighters on the ground.

In addition, at night, the warships that led to the Black Sea Fleet did not suffer much loss. After the war began, they strengthened their vigilance. Although German planes often came to harass, they did not achieve much success.

Their main force is still well preserved.

"Peter, do you think our fleet can only serve as support for ground forces?" After hearing the words of Captain Mara, Trosky, the captain of the October Revolution, immediately showed a sneer: "it turns out that we have lost all our courage since the battle of the Strait of Irbe."

Because of their geographical location, Germany and Russia are often rivals.

As long as the German Navy blockaded its northeast waters, that is, the southern waters of Denmark and Sweden, it would close the whole Baltic Sea and turn the Soviet Baltic Fleet into an inland fleet.

When the Russians sailed in the Baltic Sea, they could easily get close to the northeast of Germany and launch attacks on Germany.

During World War I, destroyers, cruisers and old-fashioned battleships of the Baltic Fleet fought several battles with German warships, and the two sides were basically equal. The superiority of Russian warships in firepower sometimes even gave them a slight advantage in the battle.

However, in August 1915, a powerful German sub fleet was strengthened to the Baltic Sea. This sub fleet included several fearless ships and former fearless ships. Facing the strong strength of the German Navy, the Russians wisely chose to avoid after paying some losses. This is the famous battle of the Strait of Irbe.

At that time, they avoided war and blew themselves up, which had something to do with the weak Navy in the tsarist Russia era. Needless to say, their sailors often made trouble because they didn't have enough to eat. Where did they have any combat effectiveness.

Now, should the Red Navy be the same as the Tsarist Russian period? This is definitely an irony.

In history, because the German Navy was not strong, at the beginning of the war, Germany used the simplest method, that is, mine laying. By laying mines at the door of the Soviet home, the whole Baltic Fleet was blocked at home, except that during the battle of Petersburg, the artillery of the Baltic Fleet blasted ashore, which made the German northern Corps miserable, There will be no decent battle.

But now it's different. The Baltic Sea is still unblocked. Moreover, they also have new pocket battleships introduced from Germany. They have a certain combat effectiveness.

"Trosky, what do you want to say?" Captain Peter asked Trosky with a red face.

"We must not stay in the port and do nothing. We should take the initiative." Trosky said, "we'll go along the coastline and blow the Germans of the three Baltic countries to the ground. We can also go all the way to Germany to let the Germans know the power of our Baltic Fleet."

To say that the Baltic Fleet also has this capital to fight in Germany, because they have the only Marine Corps of the whole Red Navy, but now, this statement sounds like a fantasy.

Because there is no air supremacy, the Red Navy has no aircraft carrier, and land-based airmen can't fly too far. When they don't have air supremacy, they go to people's door to bomb. Isn't that a joke?

The two soon quarreled. Tributz looked at the people below him and was very helpless.

The current situation is very critical. The people present are divided into two categories: one is hoping to attack and the other is hoping to defend. Now, Moscow is busy defending on the ground, and Stalin has not noticed the Navy. In the whole Soviet military system, the navy is a very awkward role.

"No, No. Puskov fell. Just then, an adjutant hurried in from the outside and reported the surprising news to the people. "
