Okinawa Islands East North Sea domain, a huge fleet is heading south. This fleet is the main force of Island Nation Navy's Combined Fleet. In the center are the aircraft carriers. This time, Island Nation Navy's eight aircraft carriers are all gathered here. Together with Fleet Commander Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, these aircraft carriers are regarded as the most important main force.
In addition to these eight aircraft carriers, there are the huge Capital Ships. Twelve Battleship and four Battlecruiser, these are all accumulated by Island Nation Navy over the past 20 years. Even in the midst of the economic crisis, they tightened their belts and built these Capital Ships, which enabled them to regain such a powerful fleet.
The flagship of Combined Fleet is the Battleship 'Kii'. This is a huge Battleship with a full load displacement of more than 45,000 tons. It is equipped with five twin-mounted 45 times the caliber 410mm Main Gun, with a maximum speed of 29.75 knots. Before 'Yamato-class' Battleship was put into service, Capital Ships could be called the most powerful Island Nation Navy, and it could also be considered a world-class Capital Ships.
Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto stood on the deck of the 'Kii' Battleship. The oncoming sea breeze blew on his body, although it was very cold, but it kept him awake. He had to admit that leading such a powerful fleet gave him a feeling of elation. After all, the fleet he leads is definitely the most powerful fleet in the history of Island Nation. It can even be said to be the most powerful fleet in the entire Pacific Ocean region. If German Navy Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet can be defeated in this battle, then Island Nation Navy will be able to dominate Pacific Ocean and even extend its sphere of influence to Indian Ocean.
It is precisely because of this that Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto was under great pressure. In fact, this battle is too important for Island Nation. If Island Nation Navy has no way to win, then they will be suppressed by Germany on their homeland, and there will be no talk of invading South Seas and Australia. Therefore, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto must not fail in this battle. At least it must maintain pressure on German Navy to ensure the safety of maritime transportation lines. Only in this way can Island Nation's Army safely attack South Seas.
"Sir Commander, I just got the news that German Navy Pacific Fleet has left Lion City." Combined Fleet Chief of Staff Major General Takahashi Ibo reported.
"Hmph! The reaction of the Germany people is really quick. As soon as we set off, they made corresponding actions. Apparently they have been watching us closely." The expression on Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto's face became serious. German Navy is already prepared. It is almost impossible to defeat German Navy with a sneak attack. He can only think of other ways.
"Sir Commander, what should we do now?" Major General Takahashi Ibo asked.
"Where is Indian Ocean Fleet from Germany? Is there any news?" Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto asked.
With the strength of Island Nation Navy, if it were to face Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet of German Navy alone, it would have the advantage of crushing them. The only thing they are worried about is that the two fleets of German Navy unite. In that case, they will not be sure of victory.
"The news we got two days ago is that German Navy Indian Ocean Fleet is still in the Solomon Sea. We don't know their specific location now. After all, German Navy has built a large number of airports on the islands on Pacific Ocean. It is difficult for us to send ships or aircraft deep into those waters." Major General Takahashi Ibo said.
In the last game World War, all the colonies on Germany located on Pacific Ocean fell. However, when Germany defeated Island Nation, they had to obediently return those colonies to Germany. In addition to the islands seized from Britain, France and other countries, almost all of the islands in the middle of Pacific Ocean, except Philippines and the Hawaiian Islands, fell into the hands of German Navy. Germany In the past twenty years or so, many airports have been built on these islands and troops have been stationed. The entire middle part of Pacific Ocean is operated almost like an iron barrel.
"Send Telegram to the country and ask them to collect information on the two fleets of Germany people as soon as possible." Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto ordered. Only by knowing the movements of the two fleets German Navy could he make tit-for-tat deployments.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander!" Major General Takahashi Ibo immediately went to send Telegram.
At this moment, Combined Fleet is still on the way south. However, if you continue southward and penetrate into the central waters of Pacific Ocean, you may be discovered by Germany ships or seaplanes operating in these waters. Although the two countries have not declared war on each other, Isoroku Yamamoto believes that if German Navy seizes the opportunity, he will never miss the opportunity to attack them. Therefore, he did not want to be exposed early unless absolutely necessary.
However, if the two Grand Fleet of German Navy have been staying in the central sea area of the South China Sea or Pacific Ocean, Combined Fleet will not be able to eliminate them. In this case, the war will inevitably enter a stalemate stage, which will be very detrimental to Island Nation. Once Germany achieves another major victory on Russian front, they will be able to devote more power to South Seas or other battlefields. At that time, Island Nation may have to pay a higher price if he wants to win.
"No matter what, the outcome of this naval battle must be decided within half a month! Even if we cannot win completely, we must gain an advantage. Only in this way can we safely send the army to South Seas to land!" Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto said secretly.
After Island Nation Combined Fleet requested to search for German Navy and Grand Fleet, Telegram sent them back to China, Island Nation Navy's intelligence department immediately took action. Many of their commercial ships and fishing boats operate in the central waters of the South China Sea and Pacific Ocean. Because the two sides were not at war, the movements of these merchant ships and fishing boats were not blocked.
At the same time, American Navy's intelligence department also actively joined in. United States has Philippines and the Hawaiian Islands as support on Pacific Ocean. Even though American Navy's main force is no longer on Pacific Ocean, there are still many other investigation forces. Especially now, although United States keeps making moves behind his back, on the surface he has not broken up with Germany. Therefore, they can take this opportunity to provide intelligence support to Island Nation. Germany can hardly grasp their handle and can't counterattack them.
Thanks to the efforts of the Island Nation and United States intelligence departments, the traces of German Navy Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet cannot be hidden at all.
