"General, the last Carrier-based aircraft has returned! This naval battle is over!" Major General Bürgel's face was full of smiles.

"Well! Have the results been calculated?" Lieutenant General William Canaris asked.

"General, in this naval battle, we sank three Japanese capital ships and severely damaged one. We sank two aircraft carriers and severely damaged the other two. We sank four heavy cruisers and severely damaged one heavy cruiser. We sank 11 light cruisers and more than 20 destroyers." Rear Admiral Berger is already familiar with these data.

"Haha, it seems that our results are quite good. Island Nation Navy once again suffered heavy losses in this battle. This time, it will be even more difficult for Island Nation Navy to fight us. We may be able to hold on easily. By the time Empire wins on European theater, Empire will be able to send a large number of fleets to Pacific Theater," Lieutenant General William Canaris said with a smile on his face.

"Yes, General. In addition, the pilots of Island Nation Navy's aircraft carrier Carrier-based aircraft also suffered heavy losses. I think this will weaken the strength of Island Nation Navy's aircraft carrier Carrier-based aircraft again. If we fight again next time, we will easily defeat them." Major General Bürgel said.

"It is indeed the case. Not only is the performance of the Island Nation's Carrier-based aircraft lagging behind ours, but there is also a huge gap in the quality of the pilots. With their pilots suffering heavy losses, the new pilots will not be our opponents. Our advantage in this war has become bigger and bigger." Lieutenant General William Canaris said.

"By the way, where are our losses?" Lieutenant General William Canaris asked.

"The Battleship formation lost four Light Cruiser and five destroyers. Our losses were mainly Carrier-based aircraft. In several attacks, Carrier-based aircraft was shot down. The main attack was on Island Nation surface warship was shot down by anti-aircraft fire. According to the final statistics, we lost a total of 15 carrier-based BF-109 fighter jets, 18 Dive Bomber and 11 Torpedo Bomber," Major General Bürgel continued.

Lieutenant General William Canaris couldn't help but frowned. Although, compared to the results achieved by German Navy, such losses seem to be nothing. However, losing more than forty Carrier-based aircrafts at one time still made him feel a little sad. After all, although the number of Germany pilots is very large, the Carrier-based aircraft pilots are also very valuable.

"Find a way to request support from the country and replenish us with a group of Carrier-based aircraft and pilots! After all, our enemies are still growing. If our eyesight is damaged but cannot be supplemented, it will be difficult to fight against them by then." Lieutenant General William Canaris said.

"General, this should be no problem. Although the country cannot send more navy to reinforce us. However, there should be no problem in replenishing us with a group of Carrier-based aircraft and pilots." Major General Bürgel said.

"Are the losses on the Air Force side big? This time we have to thank them properly. If the Air Force hadn't intercepted two batches of Carrier-based aircraft from the Island Nation people, our losses would certainly not have been that small under the crazy attack by the Island Nation people." Lieutenant General William Canaris said.

Lieutenant General William Canaris felt a little frightened when he thought that Island Nation Navy had sent two batches of Carrier-based aircraft, with more than 300 aircraft attacking them. If the Air Force 5th Air Group hadn't intercepted Island Nation Navy's carrier-based aircraft group, maybe both of their aircraft carriers would have been sunk. In that case, their losses would be great.

"General, the losses on the Air Force side are not big. There are about a dozen aircraft lost. The performance of Island Nation Navy's carrier-based aircraft is too bad. It is no match for the advanced fighters of the Air Force."

"No matter what, we still want to thank the Air Force. When we return to Lion City, I will treat General Hubert Weiser to dinner." Lieutenant General William Canaris said. Lieutenant General Hubert Wei Ze is Commander of German Air Force 5th Air Group. The defense zone of 5th Air Group is the entire South Seas. As for Australia, it is the defense zone of 6th Air Group.

While German Navy and the Air Force were rejoicing in victory, the Island Nation fleet seemed to have fallen.

The huge task force lost more than half of its warships in the battle. In particular, Capital Ships and the aircraft carrier suffered heavy losses. This price was not even much less than the last naval battle. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Island Nation Navy, whose original strength has already been damaged.

When Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō arrived on the aircraft carrier 'Ibuki' on a seaplane, Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo and he began to discuss how to report to the country.

Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō has always had a knot in his heart that the aircraft carrier team did not send fighter jets to reinforce him. But when he saw that the aircraft carrier team also suffered heavy losses, he felt relieved. After all, the aircraft carrier team was already unable to protect itself at that time.

"Nagumo, it's impossible to hide that. Let's report it directly to His Excellency Yamamoto Commander! We have tried our best in this battle. It's not because we are afraid of death, but because Germany people are too powerful. That's why there is such a loss." Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō said.

"Okay, Takasu-kun." Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo nodded. Such a huge loss must not be concealed. However, Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo doesn't know how the country will deal with them when they learn of such losses. Now, they all have no choice but to resign themselves to their fate.

Island Nation, Kure Naval Base. Joint Fleet Commander Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto is here to inspect the construction progress of several major aircraft carriers of the Navy and Battleship.

"Your Excellency Commander, according to the current progress, the Navy will be able to have five modified aircraft carriers in service in three months. In the second half of the year, more aircraft carriers and Capital Ships will be in service. By then, the strength of the Navy will be further improved!" Island Nation Navy Shipbuilding Department Lieutenant General Seiichi Nagaimura said.

Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto nodded. He knew that if Island Nation Navy wanted to defeat German Navy on Pacific Theater, it would have to have more aircraft carriers and Capital Ships. Fortunately, Island Nation Navy's warships is now being built on a large scale, and it is expected that Island Nation Navy will become more powerful.

"When these aircraft carriers and Capital Ships are put into service, we will have the capital to fight German fleet. And we will have an overwhelming advantage!" Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto said confidently.
