"General, the last carrier-based aircraft has returned. This naval battle is over!" Major General Bürgel's face was wreathed in smiles.
"Mm! Have the results been tallied?" Lieutenant General Wilhelm Canaris asked.
"General, in this naval battle, we sank three of the Island Nation's Capital Ships and heavily damaged one. We sank two aircraft carriers and heavily damaged the other two. We sank four Heavy Cruisers and heavily damaged one more. We also sank eleven Light Cruisers and more than twenty destroyers." Major General Bürgel knew these figures by heart.

We may be able to hold out easily until the Empire achieves victory in the European theater. At that time, the Empire will be able to dispatch large numbers of fleets to the Pacific Theater."

"That is indeed the case. Not only are the Island Nation's carrier-based aircraft inferior to ours in performance, but their pilots are also vastly inferior in quality. With their pilots suffering such heavy losses, their newly trained pilots will be even less of a match for us. Our advantage in this war is growing greater and greater," Lieutenant General Wilhelm Canaris said.

"The Battleship formation lost four Light Cruisers and five destroyers. Our losses were mainly carrier-based aircraft. Carrier-based aircraft
