“Food prices soared, and people went bankrupt because of the high food prices.

In addition, the German army’s unlimited submarine warfare became more and more crazy.

Even if the fleet was escorted by our warships, they would attack.

Fleets have been attacked continuously in the past few days, and more than a dozen merchant ships have been lost.

Of course, we have also achieved considerable results.

Six German submarines were sunk by us, and those Hans guys on the submarines were buried in the sea and became food for fish and turtles in the sea!

”

The Navy Minister gnashed his teeth when he said this. He naturally hated Hans to the extreme in his heart, and wished that all the Hans people would die. Therefore, he was very happy that he could sink six Hans submarines, and he showed off this as one of the few good news in these days!

Because the time for the German army to launch a general offensive was getting closer and closer, Dönitz also became ruthless and invested a large number of submarines in frantic attacks on the British fleet at all costs.

In the past, in order to ensure their own safety, they usually only attacked those lone merchant ships. These merchant ships had no resistance, and it was very easy to attack them without any losses.

But at this time, in order to cooperate with the army’s landing operation, the resistance of the British fleet should be weakened as much as possible.

Dönitz didn’t care about so much. He issued a death order. As long as he saw Merchant ships transporting food, whether they are protected by warships or not, will all be sunk. Even if they have to risk being sunk themselves, they cannot allow food from South Asia to enter the British Empire!

This has caused considerable losses to German submarines in recent days, but not as many as the British Navy Minister said. Three of their submarines were sunk and one was damaged. As for the other two mentioned by the British Navy Minister, in fact, those two submarines were fine. Their captains are experienced old captains.

After encountering the British depth charge attack, they quietly dived while using torpedo tubes to launch some soldiers’ clothes, sundries, fuel and other things, creating the illusion that the submarine was sunk and the things in the submarine floated to the surface of the sea.

The British destroyers cannot dive, so there is no Unable to enter the seabed to check the situation, they saw these debris floating to the surface, and really thought they had killed Hans’ submarine, so they left one by one with satisfaction.

As soon as they left, these German submarines escaped safely without any harm!

After this method was proven to be effective, it soon attracted the attention of Dönitz and was quickly promoted to the entire submarine force.

In the coming period of time, the British army’s results will increase, but the German submarines will become safer and safer!

In addition to submarines, what makes the British most uneasy is the main force of the German navy!

In February, after the British landed in the North Sea, the German army immediately invested a large number of troops to carry out minesweeping operations.

The mines of this era were basically made of iron, so it was easy for the detectors to find them. The only shortcoming was that The magnetic detector has a range of action, so it takes a lot of ships to check it out!

To this end, Mainz has recruited many countries along the Baltic Sea, including Norway, Sweden, Finland, Lithuania and other countries, and asked them to dispatch minesweepers and patrols. In addition, Hans himself mobilized thousands of fishing boats, each of which was equipped with this magnetic mine detector.

With the cooperation of hundreds of minesweepers and thousands of fishing boats, the German army took about half a month to complete the minesweeping work on the main waterways. They cleared a total of about 9,200 mines, and almost 700 of them drifted to other places along the sea or sank to the bottom of the sea.

After clearing the mines on the waterway, the German army sent the main fleet into the North Sea to control this area of sea, not giving the British the opportunity to lay mines again.

In addition, Nimitz’s fleet began to move north, bypassing Scotland and entering the northwest region of the sun never sets. The battleship consisting of two aircraft carriers, under the protection of six Scharnhorst-class battlecruisers, cut off the route from North America to the sun never sets.

So far, the three main routes of the sun never sets in the east, west and south have been cut off. At this time, they can no longer expect to transport domestic materials and supplies from the colonies!

Moreover, the hundreds of thousands of vassal troops they hastily formed in the Indian region are too late to be transported to the mainland to participate in the defense of the mainland!

From the North Sea Battle in January to April, for more than three months, Hans did not seem to have any major actions.

However, almost everyone can see that Hans is intensively planning a military invasion of the sun never sets.

The preparations before the military invasion have basically been completed at this time, and the day of the final decisive battle is approaching!

Faced with this huge threat, the sun never sets began to enter a state of general mobilization at the end of February. Almost all factories across the country began to turn to military use and produce various weapons and equipment for the army.

In addition, they also mobilized about 4.3 million people in the country to expand the army, making the strength of the British Army exceed five million!

For the British Army, these five million people are already the limit of their mobilization capabilities. Across the country, more than 80% of men aged 16-50 have been drawn into the army!

If they had not sent out the 7 million young and strong during the economic crisis, they might have been able to mobilize an army of more than 10 million people at this time!

With an army of five million, the British Army felt a little more at ease. It seemed that with this army of five million, they could stop the invasion of the German army!

They did not seem to consider one thing: the British Army had such a narrow space in the British mainland. Even if they had 10 million or even 100 million troops, how could they have enough space for them to deploy these troops?

Moreover, the soldiers are not expensive in quantity but in quality. How much role can five million mobs play in the battle of life and death? In fact, there is still a question mark.

However, the British Army, who are in a fanatical mood, will not think of these!

After hearing the words of the Minister of the Navy, the faces of all the cabinet members were filled with a hint of excitement, as if they could really defeat Hans!

In order to respond to their expectations, on April Fool’s Day, the German army officially launched the war against the British Empire!
