"Gentlemen, the Island Nation people are more cunning than we thought! If we don't go well this time, we will pay a heavy price. Let each aircraft carrier battle group disperse and retreat as much as they can!" Admiral Alfred Savakht ordered.
"Yes, General." Lieutenant General William Marshall replied.
"Your Excellency Commander, Chief of Staff, please leave the aircraft carrier 'Wilhelm the Great' temporarily! It is too dangerous here. And once we issue Telegram, It will definitely be monitored by the Island Nation people. By then, the 'Wilhelm the Great' will become the main target of the Island Nation people," Lieutenant General Walter Walzeca suggested.
Admiral Alfred Sawakht thought for a while and nodded. If only the number 'Wilhelm the Great' is lost, the loss is not small, but it is still within the acceptable range. But as Commander of the fleet, his personal safety is also very important. If he dies in battle, this will have a great impact on the subsequent command of the fleet.
"General Warzecha, when necessary, you can abandon the aircraft carrier and save the personnel and other warships. This time we were sneak attacked by the Island Nation people, and we will inevitably suffer some losses. However, after daybreak, we will definitely be able to fight back and send all those damn Island Nation people to the bottom of the sea." Admiral Alfred Savakht said.
The loss of an aircraft carrier will certainly make people feel very distressed. However, if the naval officers and soldiers and Carrier-based aircraft pilots can be saved, the losses can be considered to be minimized. After all, these Carrier-based aircraft pilots are very valuable. It is not that easy to train a qualified Carrier-based aircraft pilot. Only truly outstanding pilots can become Carrier-based aircraft pilots.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." Lieutenant General Walter Walzeca nodded. However, he has made up his mind and will never give up the aircraft carrier 'Wilhelm the Great' unless it is absolutely necessary.
Although, the aircraft carriers German Navy are building now are getting bigger and bigger, and their combat effectiveness is getting more and more powerful. The 'Kaiser Wilhelm class' aircraft carrier is already lagging behind compared to those cutting-edge aircraft carriers. For example, the 'Sovereign-class' aircraft carrier can carry up to 120 Carrier-based aircrafts, and the angled runway further improves the dispatch efficiency of the Carrier-based aircrafts. The combat effectiveness of one 'Sovereign-class' aircraft carrier is almost that of two 'Kaiser Wilhelm class' aircraft carriers. However, Lieutenant General Walter Walzeca has great feelings for these 'Kaiser Wilhelm class' aircraft carriers under his command. Unless absolutely necessary, he will do his best to save these aircraft carriers.
"Your Excellency Commander, we should also tell Pacific Fleet this news so that they can make preparations!" Lieutenant General William Machar said.
"Well, let Pacific Fleet get ready! After dawn, they'd better take off Carrier-based aircraft and kill these 'Amagi-class' Battlecruiser of the Island Nation people!" Admiral Alfred Savakht said.
He was undoubtedly very aggrieved, because this time Indian Ocean Fleet's Aircraft Carrier Formation would inevitably pay a lot of losses. As for how much the damage will be, it's hard to say. If the loss is too great, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to Indian Ocean Fleet.
"Yes, General." Lieutenant General William Machar said.
Subsequently, the aircraft carrier 'Wilhelm the Great' broke radio silence and began to transmit Telegram. Admiral Alfred Sawakht, Lieutenant General William Machar, and other members of Fleet Headquarters took a transport boat to a Light Cruiser.
"General, the Germany people broke the radio silence. They are still 35 kilometers away from us!" Major General Suzuki Yoshio said with a smile on his face.
"Very good, it seems that the Germany people have discovered us. Their Sea-search radar's detection range is farther than ours!" Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō sighed.
"General, even if the Germany people's Radar are more advanced, so what? This time, we can still make them pay a heavy price! If we are lucky, we may be able to sink several Germany people's aircraft carriers." Major General Suzuki Yoshio said.
"Well, the time to establish meritorious service for the Empire is coming soon. Order the 'Akagi' and the 'Atago' to speed up the pursuit. The 'Amagi' and the 'Takao' continue to search the fringe areas and make sure not to miss the aircraft carrier of the Germany people!" Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō ordered.
German Navy's Sea-search radar has better performance, which allows German Navy to use this to evade first. Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō had to order their warships to widen the search distance to prevent German Navy's aircraft carrier from slipping away.
"Hi, General!" Major General Suzuki Yoshio immediately went to make arrangements.
Now that the German Navy aircraft carrier is in sight, in order to further speed up the battleship, the 'Akagi' and 'Atago' began to pressurize the boilers to further increase the speed of the warship. In this way, the speed can be increased by another two to three knots. Of course, there is a time limit. If the boiler is forced to ventilate for a long time, it will cause the boiler to explode. After two hours at most, you have to stop. Even if this is the case, the life of the boiler will be greatly reduced. However, as long as we can catch up as soon as possible, catch German Navy's aircraft carrier, and lose a little of the boiler's life, that is completely acceptable.
Two hundred kilometers away from this sea area, German Navy Pacific Fleet's Aircraft Carrier Formation was cruising at low speed. Pacific Fleet Commander General Konrad Albrecht has received Telegram from the number 'Wilhelm the Great'.
"Hell, the Island Nation people actually want to sneak attack our aircraft carrier! It seems that they will succeed soon." Admiral Conrad Albrecht's face was very ugly.
His own Capital Ships formation has won the victory, which makes him very satisfied. However, Aircraft Carrier Formation is about to suffer losses, which is something Admiral Konrad Abrecht cannot accept.
"Your Excellency Commander, I'm afraid we have no way to stop it. Our Capital Ships is too far away. Moreover, there are still a few hours until dawn." Oskar Lieutenant General Kumetz said.
Admiral Konrad Albrecht nodded. "Let all aircraft carriers be prepared to take off Carrier-based aircraft as soon as dawn. We must not let those Amagi-class Battlecruiser of Island Nation people stay!"
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander!" Lieutenant General Oskar? Kumetz replied.
