Hoffman changed his tone and asked the Navy again: "How are the situations in each fleet?"

"The main force of the Japanese joint fleet has returned northward. The fleet that needs maintenance will enter the Italian port tonight. We have everything ready. The other Japanese fleets participating in Kenya are expected to cross the Suez Canal to enter Alexandria tomorrow evening, and then replenish oil at the port as planned. There are 150,000 tons of heavy oil given there by Italians, and there are nearly 200,000 tons of heavy oil left, but the Japanese fleet may have to use up more than half. Because the Musashi super battleship is too wide and cannot pass the Suez Canal smoothly, it will stay with some warships on Socotra for training."

"You can't be stingy at this point, and you're also looking for the Japanese to help fight Malta." Hoffman smiled. "Now we have an oil field in our hands. Marshal Antonisku of Romania no longer dares to lift his tail into the sky. The capitalists of other countries have become much more honest. Are our personnel on Socotra Island?"

"Yes, HNA has left some personnel, and the rest of the pilots have been led by General Richthofen to return to Kiel Port. Their aircraft have also been left to the Japanese, which is part of our handover of the Japanese aircraft. The carrier-based aircraft pilots have boarded the aircraft carrier Zeppelin yesterday and are undergoing adaptive exercises. Judging from the sea test situation, the entire warship is operating well. If the carrier-based aircraft formation goes well, the fleet can be dispatched around February 5."

Keitel thought about it and added the report: "The main force of the Navy's Southern Fleet is currently staying near Penba Island and Zanzibar Island. On the one hand, it blocks Kenyan ports and transportation, and on the other hand, it covers the rapid entry of the Air Force and Army forces. At present, two airports have been established, with more than 80 fighter jets and nearly 40 bombers and attack aircraft. It is initially equipped with control over Mombasa and surrounding waters. It is expected that after completion, it will have 200 fighter jets, more than 100 bombers and attack aircraft, and there is also a marine brigade. Such deployment can meet the requirements of the head of state and the Allied forces to siege Mombasa. Their troops may now be around 80,000."

Hoffman thought silently, the operation time of the "Tsunami" plan was set on January 29, and agreed to first attack from the Altafjord in Norway by the battleship Tirpitz. After attracting the attention of the main force of the British Navy, he provided cover for the aircraft carrier Zeppelin to break into the Atlantic Ocean. He nodded and said, "The 'Tsunami' operation is not a matter for the navy. The control of the entire battle must be controlled in the hands of the Supreme Commander-Thunder-Serbruce's success is due to the clever cooperation of the Navy and Air Force. The Bismarck's attack alone, and the final failure is a vivid counterexample. So I hope the Supreme Commander can take on its own responsibilities."

"Yes, the Head of State." When Kettle heard the opportunity to intervene in the navy, which was regarded as an independent kingdom, he couldn't help but be overjoyed to see that the Supreme Command could command the army and the air force very satisfactorily, and his authority was restored a lot, and Kettle's status was further improved.

"If Richterhoven's carrier-based aircraft formation cannot fully adapt, there is no need to force it. I can afford to wait, and both the plane and the ship can be supplemented. This group of pilots and sailors will not be able to count on in the short term after the loss."

At this moment, the latest enemy information telegram came. Hoffmann almost laughed out loud when he saw it. The information showed that the Allied J-51 set off from the Icelandic waters on January 26 and was expected to pass through the Norwegian waters in 4-5 days. Now it happened to be Tirpitz's attack, and everything seemed to be "seamless".

"At this time, we should find a way to get a ticket to Stalin's New Year gift from Churchill and Roosevelt to see what it is."

Just as Hoffman was giving Kettle and others a face-to-face message, Balk, the commander of the German Division, was discussing the current situation with Rommel.

"Sir, do you want to use 80,000 to attack 150,000, while also surrounding and destroying them?" The Middle East Army had a total of 90,000 people. Except for 10,000 people who had to stay in the rear, the rest of the mobile forces could be used were less than 80,000.

"No, this is impossible. In fact, on a battlefield as big as Persia, this little force is really small."

Balk didn't know Rommel's thoughts, "So, what are your current actions?"

"This is just a means of intimidation."

"Intimidation?" Balk showed a confused look.

The command of the army and the air force was restored, and the authority was restored a lot invisibly, and Kettle's status was further improved.
