Island Nation Navy's fleet is very large. As the main battleship alone, there are 8 Capital Ships and 21 aircraft carriers of various types.
Among them, the aircraft carrier 'Taihō', two 'Shōkaku' aircraft carriers and the light aircraft carrier 'Dragon Phoenix' form First Carrier Division, with Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo serving as Commander and Major General Takayanagi Gihachi serving as chief of staff.
Four of the 'Unryu-class' aircraft carriers form Second Carrier Division, with Lieutenant General Seiichi Ito as Commander and Rear Admiral Nobuyei Morishita as chief of staff.
Two of the 'Unryu-class' aircraft carriers, plus two 'Shoho-class' light aircraft carriers, form the third aircraft carrier flotilla, with Lieutenant General Osawa Osawa as Commander and Major General Obayashi Moshio as the chief of staff.
Two 'Chitose' class aircraft carriers and two 'Flying Eagle' class aircraft carriers form 4th Carrier Squadron, with former Lieutenant General Chuichi as Commander and Major General Michio Sumikawa as chief of staff.
Three 'Big Eagle' class aircraft carriers, the 'Condor' aircraft carrier and the 'Haiying' aircraft carrier form 5th Carrier Squadron, with Lieutenant General Shima Kiyohide as Commander and Major General Takeshi Matsumoto as chief of staff.
Four 'Yamato-class' Battleship form 1st Capital Ship Squadron, with Lieutenant General Daigo Tadashige as Commander and Major General Sasaki Hanku as chief of staff.
'Kaga' number Battleship, 'Mutsu' number Battleship, 'Yamashiro' number Battleship and 'Z Takao' number Battlecruiser forms 2nd Capital Ship Squadron, with Lieutenant General Sentaro Omori as Commander and Major General Fujiwara Kiyoma as chief of staff.
The five aircraft carrier teams that make up Island Nation Navy's Combined Fleet and two Capital Ship Squadron, in addition to these aircraft carriers and Battleship, also include a large number of cruisers and destroyers.
While German Navy was frantically building Battleship and aircraft carriers, the construction of cruisers and destroyers was not given up. A large number of new cruisers and destroyers were built, named after previously sunk cruisers and destroyers, and re-entered service Island Nation Navy.
Of course, if these warships of Island Nation Navy's Combined Fleet are sunk again this time. Perhaps, Island Nation Navy will never have the chance to build them again. Germany will not give Island Nation another chance.
"Commander, this battle is always a bit risky!" Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo sighed.
Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto nodded. "There is no way. The Germany people are pressing us step by step. We have been forced into a corner and have no retreat. Now, we can only fight back. No matter how small the chance of winning is, we must fight hard. In this case, there may be a glimmer of hope. Of course, if we lose, then Imperial Navy will be finished. Empire will be finished too!"
"Your Excellency Commander, has it really come to this?" Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo asked.
"Yes, we have reached the last moment. Now Empire is facing life and death. Germany people will not let us go. Unless we can resist Germany people's attack, otherwise, Empire will be destroyed by Germany people like Americans, "Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto said.
"In order to prevent Empire from being destroyed by the Germany people, we have no choice but to try our best to defeat the Germany people. Only by defeating the Germany people can Empire have a future." Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto's eyes were full of determination.
"Nagumo, make arrangements to launch an attack on Caroline Islands tomorrow. Destroy the base of the Germany people on the island. At the same time, tell them that we are already here. We are waiting for them at Caroline Islands. I believe that the Germany people will definitely come." Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto said.
He knew that if Island Nation Navy crossed Bismarck Islands and went south, he would die very ugly. Germany has strengthened its defense against Australia and Bismarck Islands. The main force of German Navy is also looking at it somewhere. If you launch an attack rashly, you are seeking death. Only in the waters near Caroline Islands where Germany is relatively weak, or even Philippine Sea, do Island Nation Navy have a chance of winning.
"Hi, Sir Commander, I will make arrangements immediately!" Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo replied.
On the afternoon of July 29, Island Nation Navy's Combined Fleet dispatched a large number of Carrier-based aircraft to attack German Navy's military base located on Caroline Islands. Under the fierce bombing of Island Nation Navy by a large number of Carrier-based aircraft, all those German Navy bases were lost. And this also attracted the attention of German Navy.
The northern part of the Coral Sea and the southern part of the Bismarck Sea. German Atlantic Fleet, Pacific Fleet Aircraft Carrier Formation, Indian Ocean Fleet Aircraft Carrier Formation, and the fire support fleet directly under the Naval Ministry all gathered in this sea area.
Marshal Commander of the Atlantic Fleet Rolf? Kars is temporarily responsible for commanding this huge fleet. Because of Marshal Rolf Kars's performance on the Atlantic Ocean battlefield, he won such an opportunity. Of course, Marshal Rolf Kars also cherishes this opportunity very much. He hopes to lead the fleet to greater glory.
"Marshal, it has been confirmed that the main force of Island Nation Navy is active in the sea area east of Philippines. The Carrier-based aircraft group they dispatched to attack Caroline Islands is very large, with more than 500 combat aircraft." Atlantic Fleet Chief of Staff George Lieutenant General Fredberg said.
"Very good, it seems that the army's offensive put the Island Nation people under tremendous pressure. Therefore, their navy couldn't help but jump out." Marshal Rolf Kars laughed.
"Marshal, do you mean that the Island Nation people did this on purpose?" Lieutenant General George? Fredberg asked.
Marshal Rolf Kars nodded. "Yes. The Island Nation people know very well that if they want to defeat us, the east of Philippine Islands is a very good battlefield. They will not go south, only we Kitakami. In this case, then I will give them this opportunity."
"Your Excellency, what if there is a trap in this?" George? Lieutenant General Fredberg was a little worried.
"Don't worry, in the face of absolute strength advantage, all conspiracies and tricks will have no effect." Marshal Rolf Kars seemed very confident.
Indeed, after German Navy defeated American Navy, no navy could compete with German Navy. Although Island Nation Navy is very strong, in the eyes of German Navy, he is still just a clown.
Although German Navy only assembled three fleets in Pacific Ocean. But the overall strength is still far superior to Island Nation Navy. It is almost impossible for Island Nation Navy to defeat German Navy.
On the afternoon of July 29, the main force of German Navy moved from Kitakami in the northern part of the Coral Sea to the waters near Caroline Islands to fight against Island Nation Navy's Combined Fleet.
