Jagged Germany

"Defeating the Germans is not only the responsibility of the army, but also the responsibility of the navy. Now, the army is fighting the Germans on the front line, and the casualties are very large every day. Could it be that the navy is watching from the sidelines? If so, Once we cannot withstand the German attack and lose the battle, the navy will not benefit at all." Prime Minister Hideki Tojo continued.

"Your Excellency, the strength of the United Fleet is not easy to recover. Now, it has not recovered to its strongest state. If we can persist for a while and let us have more warships in service, we will have a greater chance of winning. Otherwise If not, the odds of winning now will be very small," said Admiral Yamamoto Fifty-Six, Commander of the Combined Fleet.

Prime Minister Hideki Tojo shook his head: "There is no time. The German offensive is very fierce, and the Southern Army is almost unable to hold on under the massive German offensive. Unless the German Navy can be severely damaged and the command of the sea can be taken over. The Army Air Force will attack with all its strength to weaken the air superiority of the Germans. Otherwise, the Southern Army may soon be defeated. At that time, the Germans will occupy the entire Southeast Asia. Not only will our homeland be threatened, but more importantly, We will no longer be able to obtain resources from Nanyang. All local military manufacturing will be stopped. This will not only affect the army, but also the navy. The construction of the navy requires a lot of resources."

  General Shimoda Shigetaro and the others also became serious.

  In the shipyard of the German Navy, there are still a large number of warships under construction. The follow-up of the "Yunlong-class" aircraft carrier is simply the "Kai Taifeng-class" aircraft carrier, the "Kai Yamato-class" battleship and the "Super Yamato-class" battleship. At the same time, a large number of cruisers and destroyers are also under construction. The construction of these warships is very resource-intensive. Once the island country can no longer obtain resources from Southeast Asia, it will be almost impossible for the navy of the island country to serve these warships.

  General Shimanta Shigetaro and the three looked at each other, they all knew that they had to compromise now.

   "Well, the combined fleet will go to battle as soon as possible. We will do our best to defeat the German navy. However, I can't guarantee the final result." Admiral Yamamoto Fifty-Six said.

   "This is natural. I can't believe it. Amaterasu will definitely bless us. We will be able to defeat the Germans in the end." Prime Minister Hideki Tojo said.

  After the meeting, General Yamamoto Fifty-Six did not leave Tokyo immediately, but went to the Ministry of the Navy first.

   "Yamamoto-kun, are you sure about this battle?" Admiral Shigetaro Shimada asked with concern.

General Yamamoto Fifty-Six shook his head: "The Germans have too great an advantage. Although they only have 16 aircraft carriers, they are all large aircraft carriers. They are much more. Moreover, the performance of their carrier-based aircraft is generally better than ours. The quality of the pilots is also better. Under such circumstances, it is very difficult for us to defeat the Germans."

   "We still have the 'Yamato class', which is definitely the most powerful battleship in the world!" General Nagano Slim said.

   "The 'Yamato-class' battleships may be very powerful. However, we only have eight capital ships in total. The Germans have more than twenty capital ships!" General Yamamoto Fifty-Six said.

   I have to admit that from these perspectives, the odds of winning for the navy of the island country are very small.

   "Shimada-kun, Nagano-kun. In short, I will try my best to defeat the Germans this time. But because of the gap between the two sides, the chance of winning is probably less than 30%!" General Yamamoto Fifty-Six said.

  Although from the perspective of these leaders of the island navy, they don't want to have a decisive battle with the German navy so soon. But the current situation does not allow them to think about anything else. Even if the chances of winning are small, they have to muster up the courage to go all out.

  "Yamamoto-kun, if you have no choice, you can only fight. Go ahead and fight! We firmly believe that you will win!" General Shimoda Shigetaro said.

   General Yong Ye also nodded repeatedly.

   I have to admit that the gambling nature of the islanders is very strong. Knowing that the enemy is very strong, the chance of winning is very small. However, the islanders still dare to go all out to fight for that chance of survival.

  Of course, if the bet wins, the harvest will be very large. But if the bet is lost, the consequences are obvious.

   General Yamamoto Fifty-Six nodded, he also knew how much pressure was on his shoulders.

  In the afternoon of the same day, General Yamamoto Fifty-Six left the island country on a special plane, traveled to the Philippines via Ryukyu, and then took a seaplane to the flagship aircraft carrier "Taiho" of the United Fleet.

  Although the most powerful battleships of the Japanese navy are already in service, previous naval battles have proved that the combination of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft is the main force of current naval battles. Therefore, the navy of the island country also recognized this, and the flagship became the aircraft carrier "Taiho" instead of the battleship "Yamato".

  At this time, the main force of the combined fleet of the island nation's navy is operating in the Philippine Sea in the east of the Philippine Islands, thousands of kilometers away from the Coral Sea where the main force of the German Navy is operating.

  However, after the fifty-sixth general Yamamoto arrived, he immediately issued an order for the fleet to go south. At the same time, a group of generals from the United Fleet was summoned.

"My lords, the cabinet requires us to go south immediately to find the main force of the German navy to fight decisively with it, and strive to defeat the main force of the German navy in one fell swoop, win the command of the South China Sea and the entire Western Pacific Ocean, and assist the southern army to resist the German attack. Although, I It is clear that the German navy is very strong. However, the survival of the empire is now at stake. Therefore, we have no other choice. We must do our best to defeat the German navy in one fell swoop. Otherwise, the empire will be doomed " General Yamamoto Fifty-Six said with a serious face.

  The expressions of the generals of the United Fleet also became very serious. They are naturally very aware of how big the gap between their own strength and the German Navy is. It is undoubtedly very difficult to defeat the German Navy.

   "Masters, I hope that everyone will fight bravely this time, and never retreat. Everyone must do their best in this battle. In this battle, if you fail, you will succeed!" General Yamamoto Fifty-Six said.

   "Hi, Your Excellency, Commander!" All the generals of the combined fleet of the island nation's navy replied one after another. They all know that in this battle, they will probably have to fight desperately.
