In the southeastern waters of Ponape Island, on German Navy Pacific Fleet's flagship 'Aries' aircraft carrier, Fleet Commander Admiral Conrad Albrecht and Chief of Staff Oskar Lieutenant General Kumetz have not rested yet. Even though it was very late now, they were not sleepy at all. How could they sleep when their own Battleship fleet was fighting fiercely with the Island Nation fleet?
"Your Excellency Commander, the battle situation seems to be very favorable to us! Our Battleship formation has sunk one Island Nation and severely damaged one Capital Ships! Wait until Indian Ocean Fleet When the Battleship formation of arrives, they can kill all the Capital Ships of the Island Nation fleet. "Oskar? Lieutenant General Kumetz said with a smile on his face.
The previous loss of hundreds of combat aircraft put a heavy weight on everyone's hearts. Now, the fleet has an advantage in the duel, allowing them to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as the fleet can win this naval battle, then the final victory still belongs to German Navy.
Admiral Konrad Abrecht nodded. "It is not easy to kill all the Capital Shipss in the Island Nation fleet. However, we should be able to deal with their main force. Overall, we still won this battle!"
"After daybreak, we will dispatch the fighter planes on Ponape Island to attack. If we are lucky, we may be able to catch the aircraft carrier team of Island Nation. By then, it will be time to establish victory in one fell swoop."
"Send seaplanes to take off before dawn, focusing on searching the northern and northwest waters of Ponape Island. After finding the Carrier Fleet of the Island Nation people, we immediately took off the shore-based aircraft and Carrier-based aircraft, defeating them in one fell swoop!" Admiral Konrad Abrecht said.
With the strength of German Navy, in addition to the more than 400 combat aircraft on Ponape Island, there are more than 600 Carrier-based aircraft on eight aircraft carriers. Such terrifying strength would be enough to crush them all once they discover Island Nation Navy's Carrier Fleet.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." Lieutenant General Oskar? Kumetz nodded.
The senior leaders of German Navy are very satisfied that their Battleship formation can take advantage in the duel. Now it seems that even if they did not build a new Battleship, they were able to suppress the enemy's advanced Battleship with modifications. This fully proves that these modifications are very successful. Being able to suppress the Island Nation fleet now undoubtedly means that in future wars, they will not be at a disadvantage when facing American Navy's advanced Battleship. German Navy The worries that many senior executives have can be put aside.
After all, although German Navy has determined the development of aircraft carriers, construction of Battleship has been stopped. However, when United States and Island Nation were building Battleship in a big way, many people still felt a little worried, thinking that their own Battleship might not be able to sustain it just by relying on those old Battleship. Now it seems that those worries are completely unnecessary. This naval battle has fully proved that the old Battleship of German Navy still has very strong combat effectiveness.
Now, they just need to wait until their Battleship formation wins, and at the same time wait for dawn. Once dawn comes, it's time for the real decisive battle between the two sides. They all believed that with a huge advantage, German Navy would be able to win this decisive battle at sea.
Island Nation Navy Combined Fleet's flagship aircraft carrier 'Ibuki', Fleet Commander Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto could not sleep either. Although the fleet is now in radio silence, it can still receive signals. Therefore, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto is very clear about the current situation of Capital Ship Squadron. It is precisely because of this that Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto fell into anxiety.
"Baga! One wrong step, one wrong step! How can those old warships of the Germany people be so powerful? Even more powerful than our new Battleship? Our Capital Ship Squadron is in a duel with them "We can't take any advantage at all. If this continues, what should we do? If our Capital Ship Squadron loses too much, it will undoubtedly be more difficult for us to win this battle!" Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto thought secretly.
Although before implementing this battle plan, he believed that they had a high chance of victory. But now it seems that everything is not as he expected. If this continues, it may be difficult for them to win.
"Yoshida How is the situation over there?" Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto asked.
"Your Excellency Commander, General Yoshida has led four 'Kii-class' Battleship to catch up. Now he is fighting against the Germany people! However, the situation on the battlefield is still not very favorable to us." Combined Fleet Chief of Staff Major General Takahashi Ibo said.
"Baga! How can Germany people's old battleships be so powerful in combat?" Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto couldn't understand this very much.
"Your Excellency Commander, before the war broke out, the Germany people carried out modern modifications on those old Battleships, which greatly improved the performance of these old Battleships. Many. Germany people have a great advantage in warship research and development. This may be the reason why their old Capital Ships can have such strong combat effectiveness!" Major General Takahashi Ibo sighed.
Originally, when Germany stopped building Battleship and used those old Battleship to recharge, all countries thought that Germany had voluntarily given up on Capital Ships. But I didn't expect that everyone was deceived by them. Even if the Germany people did not build a new Capital Ships, but just modified those old Battleship, they still have very powerful combat effectiveness. The performance of those old Battleship, although at a disadvantage in some aspects. But the overall performance is still world-leading. The cutting-edge Battleship from other countries cannot compete with it.
Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto's heart is full of bitterness. The stronger German Navy is, the less likely they are to win. This is not good news for them!
"Send Telegram to Yoshida and let him win as much as possible!" Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto ordered.
"Yes, General." Major General Takahashi Ibo nodded.
But they all know that the possibility of Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo winning is not very high.
"Nagumo, Carrier-based Aircraft Unit are ready. We will launch the attack after dawn, and the Germany people must pay the price!" Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto ordered. When Capital Ship Squadron couldn't win, he could only pin his hopes on Carrier-based aircraft of Carrier Fleet.
