Germany - The New Kriegsmarine - 15 May to 26 Jun 1941:

15 May 1941: Now Spain attacks Portugal who then joins the Allies.

France can no longer export the rubber we need.

16 May 1941: I import rubber from Siam and the Dutch East Indies instead. In addition two new technologies have been researched: Improved Infantry Equipment II and Inclined Belt Cruiser Armour.

I start researching 1940 Submarine Hull....

....and Jagdpanzer IV SP-AT.

17 May 1941: Now that I have the armour I can design a new Heavy Cruiser et voilà!

Spain's offensive appears to have run out of steam...

The Inclined Belt Armour for heavy ships is now available. 

I start researching Basic Submarine Snorkel next.

 I speed up research on Infantry Equipment.

The Abwehr is recruiting in Saudi Arabia.

In the Caucasus Armeegruppe 1 has arrived and is planning their future operations.

22 May 1941: I make final adjustments to my new battleship....

....and it now is ready for construction, I just need some free dockyards.

A review of my research projects. 11 more days for more rubber production.

01 Jun 1941: I transfer two fighter wings to Bulgaria.

02 Jun 1941: The technology for Advanced Rubber Processing has been fully researched.

We need to catch up with Radar development.

In Ermland-Masurien I plan the construction of an additional 3 dockyards.

06 Jun 1941: Latvia cancels our non-aggression pact. Nobody here is really concerned about that.

21 Jun 1941: Three more air wings are deployed to Crimea and put in training mode.

23 Jun 1941: The British have occupied the Netherlands but their overseas territories continue the struggle.

26 Jun 1941: I can start building the Jagdpanzer IV now but it can wait.

I choose to research Advanced Fire Control System next.

My plans are progressing fine. I still have 6 more weeks to prepare.
