"Gentlemen, thank you for your efforts. Let us win this attack! According to our Reconnaissance Aircraft reconnaissance, all six airports we attacked were destroyed. In this battle, we destroyed more than six hundred German military combat aircraft! There are no Germany people in the entire eastern Philippines and Mariana Islands waters. We will be very safe in this sea area!" Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto said with a smile on his face.
This time Combined Fleet's victory was beyond his expectation. Before winning, even he didn't expect it to be so smooth. Although there were some twists and turns in this attack, overall it was still acceptable to them.
All Combined Fleet's senior generals also had faces full of excitement. Winning the first battle is undoubtedly an excellent boost to the morale of the fleet. This is undoubtedly of great benefit to winning this war.
"Your Excellency Commander, it was only under your wise leadership that we were able to win. Although the Germany people are powerful, we will definitely be able to defeat them this time!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo said.
"Yes, Sir Commander. After we destroyed the Germany people's aviation base in Mariana Islands, we have enough room for maneuver. This sea area can be used as a The decisive battle between us and the Germany people. With the strength of Combined Fleet, we can definitely defeat the Germany people in this battle!" Lieutenant General Kakuta Kakuji also said.
Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto nodded with satisfaction. He was undoubtedly very satisfied with the confidence and fighting spirit of the generals. When the war just started, everyone was more or less worried. But now, after this victory, everyone's confidence is undoubtedly stronger.
Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo also had a smile on his face. As an aviation warfare expert among Island Nation Navy's Combined Fleet, he certainly believed that there was still a big gap between Combined Fleet's Carrier-based Aircraft Unit and German Navy. But he also believes that if this battle is handled well, victory is very likely. As long as Combined Fleet can defeat German Navy Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet, they can become the overlord of Western Pacific and even the entire Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean. Although German Navy is still very powerful, they have to guard against Americans. Therefore, Combined Fleet will be able to sit back and relax for a long time to come. Once Island Nation's Army captures South Seas and Australia, it will be able to obtain massive resources from here. By that time, Island Nation's military power will develop by leaps and bounds because of these resources.
"Gentlemen, this victory is just a preliminary victory. Don't forget, German Navy Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet still exist. Moreover, our attack this time has been exposed. Next, German fleet will attack with all its strength. So, for For us, the real battle has just begun. Only by eliminating Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet from Germany in one fell swoop can we truly win the final victory!" Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto said.
Although this victory made him very satisfied, it did not make him feel elated. He knew very well that this victory did not break Germany's muscles and bones. The two Grand Fleet of German Navy are the biggest threat to Combined Fleet. Only by destroying Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet of German Navy can they truly win.
"Hi, Your Excellency Commander!" The smiles on the faces of the generals disappeared. Everyone knows that now is not the time to be truly happy. It's too late to be happy again after German Navy is completely defeated.
"So, how can we defeat the Germany people next? What do you think about this?" Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto asked.
"Your Excellency Commander, I'm afraid we have to be more careful in the next battle. After the Germany people suffered a loss, they will definitely be more cautious. According to the intelligence obtained, German Navy's Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet have disappeared. It is certain that they must have rushed to the battlefield. This makes us must be prepared to fight against German fleet." Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo said.
Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto nodded with a serious face. He also knew that it might not be that easy to win again. However, if it can win again, Combined Fleet may be able to seal the victory.
"Gentlemen, although it is very difficult to defeat Germany. However, for the Empire, we must defeat Germany!" Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto said.
"Your Excellency Commander, Germany people are located in Mariana Islands after the airport was destroyed by us. Then they only have Caroline Islands, Micronesia Islands and There is an airport on Marshall Islands. Among them, there is only a small airport on Caroline Islands. There are not many planes parked, but there are some seaplanes used for reconnaissance. But they are at Ponape Island on Micronesia Islands. There are three airports on. There are more than 400 combat aircraft parked there. If we can destroy the airport on Ponape Island in one fell swoop, we will win another big victory. By further compressing the activity space of Germany people, our scope of activities can also be further expanded. It will be very beneficial for the next decisive battle with Germany people!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo said.
"Repeat the old trick and send Capital Ship Squadron to attack Ponape Island? However, Germany people will definitely be prepared this time. If we want to succeed again, it may not be that easy." Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto said.
Germany people have already suffered a loss once, and it is almost impossible for them to suffer the same loss again.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander. Germany people will definitely be on guard. However, we can just use this opportunity to have a decisive battle with German fleet.
If we send Capital Ship Squadron to attack Ponape Island, and Germany people want to stop us, there is only one way, and that is to send Capital Ships to fight us decisively. I believe that with the strength of Combined Fleet's 16 Capital Shipss, there will be absolutely no problem in defeating the 15 old Capital Shipss of the Germany people. If we can successfully sink those Capital Ships belonging to the Germany people, then we will have won most of the battle. The next battle will undoubtedly be much easier to fight. "Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo said.
