German Navy sent Expeditionary Fleet to Far East to conquer Island Nation. The person who paid the most attention to this matter was naturally Island Nation. Although they had expected that Germany would never give up when they sent troops to attack Southeast Asia's colony. However, after learning that Germany had dispatched Expeditionary Fleet, I still felt a little nervous. Island Nation Navy's strength is too weak. In front of German Navy's Expeditionary Fleet, they simply can't resist it!
When German Navy Expeditionary Fleet entered Mediterranean Sea through Strait of Gibraltar, all the warships on British Navy's Mediterranean Sea fled into the port. At the same time, all Gibraltar Fortress's coastal defense guns have entered a state of emergency combat readiness, fearing that German Navy Expeditionary Fleet will take this opportunity to launch an attack on Gibraltar.
Fortunately, German Navy Expeditionary Fleet was not thinking about wasting time on Gibraltar, which made the Gibraltar Fortress defenders breathe a sigh of relief. Although the strategic location of Gibraltar Fortress is very important, the Germany* military believes that as long as British mainland is captured, Gibraltar Fortress will be easily captured. Now Expeditionary Fleet's task is to attack Island Nation. There is no need to waste time on Gibraltar.
The news that German Navy entered Mediterranean Sea through Strait of Gibraltar was also informed by Britain people through secret channels to Island Nation people. Although, Island Nation abolished Alliance Treaty, betrayed the alliance between the two countries, and even brazenly sent troops to attack Britain's colony in Southeast Asia. This puts the two countries into a virtual state of war. However, Britain people seemed to have completely forgotten this point, and selflessly informed German Navy Expeditionary Fleet information to Island Nation people. Their purpose in doing this is nothing more than to use the Island Nation people to weaken the Germany people. No matter what, they will let the Island Nation people hold back part of the Germany people's troops. In this case, the pressure on British mainland will be smaller.
After passing Mediterranean Sea, German Navy Expeditionary Force will enter Suez Canal. The current canal is still under the control of the Britain people. However, facing the huge German Navy Expeditionary Fleet, the Britain* troops stationed at Egypt simply did not dare to confront it. They were also afraid that Expeditionary Fleet of German Navy would attack Egypt.
When the homeland is about to be attacked, Britain has already mobilized all the troops distributed around the world back to the country. There are not many troops stationed at Egypt. If German Navy Expeditionary Fleet didn't come to trouble them, they would be grateful to God for his blessing. If you take the initiative to cause trouble for Germany people, isn't that asking for death?
People Britain, Americans and even French are constantly reporting news about German Navy Expeditionary Fleet to people Island Nation. As soon as German Navy Expeditionary Fleet entered Indian Ocean, Island Nation people fully understood the relevant news about German Navy Expeditionary Fleet.
On July 15, Island Nation capital Tokyo, Naval Ministry. General First Sea Lord Yashiro Rokuro, Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Shimamura Hayao, and Fleet Commander Admiral Ijūin Gorō gathered in the office of General Yashiro Rokuro. The three of them, Island Nation Navy and Three Chiefs, can be regarded as leaders of the navy on the surface.
In fact, the father of the navy Yamamoto Gonnohyōe and Marshal Tōgō Heihachirō who commanded Island Nation Navy to win Battle of Tsushima are the souls of Island Nation Navy.
"Integrated information from Britain, Americans and French has confirmed the information of German Navy Expeditionary Fleet. German Navy Expeditionary Fleet consists of nine Battlecruiser, 10 Light Cruiser and 27 destroyers, as well as many transport ships. I have to admit that they are very powerful. Just sending a fleet dominated by Battlecruiser is much stronger than our entire navy," said General Yashiro Rokuro.
"Yes! Among the nine German battlecruisers, the three 'Markenson-class' battlecruisers are known as the most powerful battlecruisers in the world. They are equipped with three triple-mounted 380mm main guns with 50 times the caliber. The three 'Derflinger-class' battlecruisers are also equipped with three triple-mounted 50-caliber 380mm main guns, and the three 'Mottke-class' battlecruisers are equipped with three triple-mounted 50-caliber 34 guns. 3mm main gun. No battleship currently in service in the Imperial Navy can withstand the main guns of these German battlecruisers. Even the 356mm main gun of the Imperial Navy's 'King Kong' class battlecruiser is only as powerful as the 50-caliber 343mm main gun of the German Navy's 'Mottke-class' battlecruiser. Not to mention the more powerful 380mm main gun." Admiral Shimamura Hayao sighed.
Just these data on paper are enough to make Island Nation Navy desperate. Although Island Nation Navy is ranked first in the world in East Asia. However, in front of the real world naval power, it seems not enough. Not to mention, German Navy is the new maritime overlord who defeated British Navy. This naturally put an unbearable amount of pressure on Island Nation Navy.
"How great it would be if Imperial Navy also had those powerful battleships! We can even compete for Pacific Ocean's hegemony!" Admiral Ijūin Gorō said. His eyes were full of envy and jealousy. West is a powerful country and can build Capital Ships like crazy. But Island Nation cannot. The two self-built 'Fusō-class' Battleship are still under construction. If you want to serve, it will take some time. The subsequent warship manufacturing plan depends on the financial situation. This makes Admiral Ijūin Gorō worried.
"Empire It has only been a few decades since Meiji Restoration. It is already very good to have such achievements. Among those Europe powerful countries, which one has not developed hundreds of years? Years? If we are given such a long time, I believe that Empire will definitely become a truly world-class power, and will not just barely be among the world's powers like it is now," General Yashiro Rokuro said.
These Island Nation people are very proud that Island Nation has become one of the world's powerful countries in just a few decades. After all, they are the only Eastern country among the great powers. All other Eastern countries have become colonies of foreign powers.
"Yes! Empire's achievements today are hard-won. Therefore, we must do our best to win this battle. Otherwise, once Empire loses this war, the consequences can be imagined." Admiral Shimamura Hayao said.
General Yashiro Rokuro and Admiral Ijūin Gorō also nodded. They both knew what it would mean to Island Nation if they lost.
