Jagged Germany

   On the battleship 'King', Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardy and Major General Felix were fully focused. They all know that the next battle is very important, and there cannot be any mistakes. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious.

   "Report, the radar found that the island nation's fleet is located 40 kilometers to the northwest, and there are twelve large targets, which are determined to be the opponent's capital ship!" The radar officer reported.

   "Very well, we finally intercepted them. Now they haven't found us, right?" Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi asked.

   "Should not, the formation of the enemy ships has not changed." The officer reported.

   "Order all ships and prepare for battle. First concentrate firepower and eliminate the enemy ship at the front!" Lieutenant General Theodor Burchard ordered.

   "Yes, General!"

After the order was issued, the five "King-class" battleships and three "Derfflinger-class" battlecruisers of the German Navy's Pacific Fleet formed a battle line, aiming at the combined fleet of the island navy with broadside firepower. capital fleet.

  The artillery sighting radar is distributing data to each turret. Under the command of the gunner commander, each main turret is rotating, aiming at the enemy tens of kilometers away. Of course, the distance is still relatively far away, almost beyond the range of the main guns of these battleships of the German Navy. It is best to zoom in to within 30 kilometers before firing. In this case, the probability of hitting will be higher.

  Even so, it was almost an attack beyond the line of sight. This is almost unimaginable for these battleships.

  The battleship 'Ki' became the flagship of the main fleet of the combined fleet of the island nation's navy. After all, the "Ki-class" battleship was originally the most powerful capital ship currently serving in the navy of the island country. Unless the 'Yamato-class' battleship is in service, no one can take this title away.

   On the battleship 'Ki', Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo has not rested yet. Although, counting the time, it will be a few hours before they arrive at Pohnpei Island to launch an attack. However, Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo didn't feel sleepy at all at the moment. This time the battle plan was perfected according to his thinking, which made him bear a lot of pressure in this battle. If successful, his promotion to admiral would be almost without any problem. However, if he fails, he may have to pay the price for it. If it doesn't work out, he will have to make a heart-broken apology.

  Being able to become a lieutenant general of the Japanese Navy, Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo naturally wants to climb to a higher position, and he doesn't want to die like this.

   "I hope God Amaterasu will bless you, this time the plan must be successful." Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo secretly prayed. For him, this time is also considered to bet his future and life. If he can succeed, he will take off again. If he fails, he will die.

   "Damn, why do I always have a bad feeling?" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo frowned. It was as if a catastrophe was imminent. This feeling made Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo very worried.

"Could there be a problem with the plan this time? It shouldn't be! It's dark now, and it's impossible for the Germans to send planes to attack us. At most, it's just a duel with their battleship. Could it be, our Aren’t these cutting-edge battleships the opponents of the old battleships of the Germans? How is that possible?” Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo secretly analyzed.

   In his view, as long as they persist until dark, and the German Navy's planes cannot take off, then in this battle, they will win most of the battle. Although the four "Amagi-class" battlecruisers went to carry out the mission of attacking the German Navy's aircraft carrier, he still believed that with 12 battleships, it was enough to confront the 15 capital ships of the German Navy.

   "Could it be other threats? Such as German submarines?" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo thought. Except for the capital ships of the German Navy, the only thing that can pose a threat to them seems to be submarines. After all, even these capital ships of the Japanese navy have rough skin and thick flesh. But once hit by a heavy torpedo from a submarine, it is still possible to penetrate the defense.

  However, now that the fleet is sailing at a speed of up to 20 knots, even if they encounter submarines of the German Navy, those submarines will not have a chance to attack. After all, the speed of submarines in this era is too slow to chase the fleet at all.

   "Command the fleet, prepare for anti-submarine!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo ordered. Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo gave the order despite thinking that the possibility was low. In this case, maybe it can make him feel better.

   "Boom!"

  Suddenly, there were bursts of muffled thunder in the sky, which made Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo frown even more.

"What's going on? Is it going to rain? Didn't the meteorologists say that there will be no rain?" When Yoshida Zengo looked up at the sky, it was clear that the moon and stars were sparse, and it seemed that it was going to rain of.

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  On the sea in the distance, there was a violent explosion. A stream of water jets rose into the sky. A capital ship of the navy of an island nation was almost shrouded in the water column.

   "What? How did this happen? We were attacked by a German battleship?" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo was stunned, almost unable to believe such a fact.

  The entire main fleet of the United Fleet was also shocked.

   "It's the 'Nagato', the 'Nagato' was attacked by the Germans!" Fukushige shouted.

   "Damn, where are the Germans? Why didn't they find anything?" Lieutenant General Yoshida Yoshigo cursed. The sudden attack by the battleship of the German Navy made him feel more and more bad.

   "General, our sea search radar did not find the target. This means that the German fleet is at least 25 kilometers away from us!" Fukushige reported.

  Due to technical reasons, the performance of the island navy's sea search radar is far behind that of the German navy. It can only detect places as far as 25 kilometers away, let alone guide the main gun.

   Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo's face suddenly became very ugly. He knew that this duel started in a way that was beyond their expectations. At the same time, the possibility of their victory is not as high as they expected before.

   "Command the fleet, prepare for battle!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo ordered. In any case, the battle has already begun, and they can only do their best to win this naval battle.
