Island Nation Navy's Combined Fleet's combat staff spent a full day perfecting this combat plan. When Chief of Staff Major General Takahashi Ibo handed over the combat plan to Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto nodded with satisfaction. He is undoubtedly very satisfied with this combat plan. If everything goes well, the chances of success are high.
Island Nation people have never been afraid of risking everything to gamble. They have done this many times in history. And, all were successful. This time, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto obviously wanted to take a gamble like his predecessors Itō Yūkō and Tōgō Heihachirō. He also hopes to win like his predecessors.
This decisive battle between Island Nation Navy's Combined Fleet and German Navy's Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet has become a battle that determines the fate of the Guam country.
"Very good, this battle plan has been completed. You can take a look at it. If you have any opinions, please put them forward now." Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto said.
Combined Fleet's senior generals began to read this battle plan. Even Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo looked at it very seriously. Even though he proposed this combat plan, he just proposed an idea. Specific improvement still depends on the combat staff.
It is already February 2nd, and Combined Fleet is still at the Philippine Sea. After clearing German Navy's base on Mariana Islands, this sea area is still very safe. Especially Island Nation Navy's Combined Fleet can also obtain information from Americans, which is even more beneficial to them.
After reading the battle plan, the generals put forward suggestions for modification according to their ideas. After Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto thought carefully, he adopted some of them, making this combat plan more perfect. The probability of success is therefore higher.
"Gentlemen, from now on, implement this battle plan! Amaterasu Omikami will protect us. We will definitely defeat the Germany people!" Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto said with high spirits. After perfecting this battle plan, he became confident.
"Hi, Mr. Commander!" everyone replied. Everyone hopes to defeat German Navy in this battle, not only for the country, but also for themselves. If it fails, Island Nation is completely finished. At the same time, they are also very likely to die in the war. But if they can win, not only will Island Nation have a bright future, they will also gain great merit. Maybe everyone will be promoted as a result, which is undoubtedly the goal they are pursuing.
"Takasu-kun, lead 2nd Capital Ship Squadron and leave first. This time, it's up to you whether you can defeat the German aircraft carrier fleet in one fell swoop!" Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto ordered.
"Hi, Your Excellency Commander, I will do my best for my humble position!" 2nd Capital Ship Squadron Commander Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō replied. This time, the four 'Amagi-class' and 'Battlecruiser' of Combined Fleet and 2nd Capital Ship Squadron he led will go south from the Philippine Sea, from the sea east of Caroline Islands to the south of Ponape Island. Once the battle begins, his mission is to find the German Navy aircraft carrier and destroy it. As long as it succeeds, Combined Fleet will be able to win this battle.
"Yoshida, Mr. Koga, Mr. Inoue. The Capital Ship Squadron you lead will become the main force in the showdown with the Capital Ships team of Germany people.. However, you only have 12 Battleship, can you defeat the 15 Capital Ships of the Germany people? I know it is difficult, but I hope you can succeed!" Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto said.
"Your Excellency Commander, I will definitely defeat the Germany people! Although the two fleets of the Germany people have a total of 15 Capital Shipss, they may not necessarily move together. We will probably only encounter one of their fleets. In this case, we will have an overwhelming advantage to defeat them!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo said with confidence. He didn't think they would lose at all. Even if the 12 Battleships faced off against the 15 Capital Shipss of the German Navys, he still believed that they had a good chance of winning. After all, their Battleship can be considered a cutting-edge Battleship, and the caliber of the main gun is also larger. It is not impossible to defeat more with less.
Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto also nodded, still very confident in his own Capital Ship Squadron. However, these senior generals Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto and Island Nation Navy's Combined Fleet will soon discover that German Navy's old Battleship are not as weak as they imagined. Not only does he have the strength to compete with their so-called newbie Capital Ships, he even has an advantage. Of course, they didn't understand until then that it was already too late.
"Nagumo, Tsunoda-kun, the mission of the aircraft carrier team is mainly divided into two. One is to cover the retreat of Capital Ship Squadron, and the other is to dispatch Carrier-based aircraft to attack Germany's Capital Ships As long as the team or Carrier Fleet discovers the location of German fleet, Carrier-based aircraft will be dispatched after dawn to defeat them in one fell swoop!" Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto said.
"Hi, Your Excellency Commander." Both Lieutenant Generals Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo and Kakuta Kakuji replied.
"Gentlemen, this time the attack is more risky, but if we win, the benefits will be greater. Therefore, we must try our best to win this time. The future of the Empire is in our hands. If we win this battle, Empire will HMS Invincible over Pacific Ocean and occupy a large area of territory. Once it fails, Empire will be completely destroyed. Therefore, we have no other choice. This battle must be won!" Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto said.
"Empire will win!" All the generals shouted loudly. Everyone's face was filled with enthusiasm. They all know that this battle will be a battle where Island Nation's future national destiny will be staked. If you win, everything will be easy, and the rise of Island Nation will be unstoppable. At least, they can capture large areas of territory in a short period of time and achieve rapid development. But if it fails, the consequences will be very serious. Their series of combat plans will not be implemented. Moreover, the possibility of complete defeat in this World War will become very high. Once Germany defeats Buru and Meiying, he will definitely not let them go in the end. Waiting until Island Nation, it will be a complete sinking.
After Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto issued the order to start the operation, Combined Fleet immediately started preparations. 2nd Capital Ship Squadron began to turn and left the fleet. The other three Capital Ship Squadron also began to accelerate.
