Aboard the Battlecruiser number 'Blücher', the German Navy Indian Ocean Fleet Battleship formation Commander Otto? Lieutenant General Schneewind and the Chief of Staff Major General Abraham are drinking strong coffee. Because they all believe that the Island Nation fleet will appear in the near future, and it is very likely to appear at night. Therefore, both of them had to cheer up at night.
Although the body clock is reversed and people's physical fitness is declining, for young and strong people, this is nothing and they will adjust soon. What they desire most is undoubtedly to defeat Island Nation Navy in the war and win the naval battle.
The last naval battle was undoubtedly an unacceptable result for German Navy. Because although they caused great losses to Island Nation Navy. But at the same time, its own losses are not small. In comparison, German Navy actually does not take much advantage. German Navy's generals all regarded this as a shame. You know, before the war broke out, they didn't take the Island Nation fleet seriously at all. Island Nation Navy Although there are a large number of new Capital Ships in service. But the real performance of those Capital Ships cannot even compare to the old Capital Ships of German Navy. What's more, in terms of aircraft carriers, German Navy still has absolute advantages. Whether it is the performance of an aircraft carrier or the performance of Carrier-based aircraft, they can completely crush Island Nation Navy.
In addition, German Navy also has a large number of bases on Pacific Ocean, deploying a large number of shore-based aircraft.
It is precisely because of this that they are full of confidence in the war with Island Nation Navy. I think that once the war starts, they can easily defeat Island Nation Navy. However, the final result was really unacceptable to them.
This is why Otto? Lieutenant General Schneewind and others hope to defeat Island Nation Navy in one fell swoop with another naval battle.
"General, our heavy cruiser has found the target. Island Nation's fleet is just to the north of us. It is less than 40 kilometers away from us." A staff officer reported.
Lieutenant General Otto Schneewinter and Major General Abraham suddenly stood up from their positions.
"Haha, very good! The Island Nation people are really here. This time, we will make sure they never come back!" Lieutenant General Otto Schneewinter laughed.
Major General Abraham also had a smile on his face. Although, they have only dispatched five Battlecruisers now. However, Island Nation Navy's Capital Ships troops suffered heavy losses in the last naval battle. Countless Capital Ships were sunk and severely damaged. There are only five Capital Ships ships that can still go into battle. In addition, Fire-control Radar equipped with German Navy has proven to be very useful in the last naval battle. Especially when fighting at night, the enemy's sight range is affected and it is impossible to aim accurately. But German Navy was able to rely on the guidance of Fire-control Radar to achieve a good hit rate. This is totally tantamount to bullying! Therefore, Major General Abraham is also full of confidence in this battle tonight. In his opinion, if nothing unexpected happens, German Navy will definitely win.
"How many Capital Ships are there in the Island Nation fleet?" Otto? Lieutenant General Schneewind asked.
"General, currently Radar has detected four Capital Ships. In addition, there are four heavy cruisers, eight Light Cruiser and a large number of destroyers." the officer reported.
Otto Lieutenant General Schneewind nodded. "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, order the fleet to prepare for battle! We will defeat the Island Nation people once again. Let them know that the final victory in this war will belong to us!"
"Hi, Your Excellency Commander!" Major General Abraham immediately went to convey the order.
The detection distance of German Navy and Sea-search radar is much longer than that of Island Nation Navy. This means that German fleet has discovered the Island Nation fleet, but the Island Nation fleet still knows nothing about it.
German fleet and Capital Ships formed and began to adjust their formation. Three 'Blücher-class' Battlecruiser and two 'Derfflinger class' Battlecruiser began to form a battle line. Although Battlecruiser and Battleship compete, it seems to be a bit of a disadvantage. However, the armor of German Navy's Battlecruiser is also very thick, and the armor of Island Nation Navy's Capital Ships is not that good either. It's just that Island Nation Navy's Battleship is slightly better in main gun caliber. Among the four Capital Shipss in the Island Nation fleet, the 'Suruga' number Battleship, the 'Ōmi' number Battleship and the 'Mutsu' number Battleship is equipped with 45 times the caliber 410mm Main Gun, while the 'Ise' number Battleship is equipped with 45 times the caliber 356mm Main Gun, but the number of main guns is as high as 12.
German fleet's Capital Ships is equipped with 50 times caliber 380mm Main Gun. In terms of range and armor-piercing performance, it is no worse than the 45 times caliber 410mm Main Gun of the Island Nation fleet, and is even slightly better. Plus German fleet also has the advantage of quantity. Therefore, German fleet undoubtedly has a great advantage in this battle.
German fleet's five Battlecruisers began to sail towards the Island Nation fleet. Shitu was able to seize Crossing the T with its speed advantage. In this case, they can concentrate the powerful firepower of the five Battlecruisers in the first few minutes of the war and pour firepower on the Island Nation fleet. If you are lucky, you may be able to severely damage or even sink a Island Nation Navy and a Capital Ships in just a few minutes.
If the plan succeeds, German fleet will have a greater advantage in this battle.
On one side of the battle line is the cruiser formation and destroyer formation of German Navy. They will provide close protection for the Capital Ships formation. After all, the threat of Long Spear torpedo from Island Nation Navy is very great. German Navy and these Battlecruiser can hardly withstand these terrifying Heavy Torpedo with a caliber of 610 mm. What's even more terrible is that the range and rate of fire of the Long Spear torpedo are very terrifying. At 50 knots, the range reaches 22,000 meters, and at 39 knots, the range reaches 33,000 meters. At 35 knots, the range reached 40,400 meters. Especially at night, the possibility of being hit by Island Nation Navy's Torpedo will further increase.
On Island Nation Navy's 'Suruga' number Battleship, Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō was a little uneasy, as if he had been targeted by the enemy. Although, Sea-search radar on the 'Suruga' number Battleship is still running. But because of the detection distance, they never found German fleet, which was more than 30 kilometers away.
