"Gentlemen, the pressure on Prime Minister is also very high. If the Germany people continue to slaughter so unscrupulously, Prime Minister will not be able to withstand the pressure. Therefore, We have no other choice, we must defeat Germany as soon as possible." After returning to the Naval Ministry, General Yashiro Rokuro looked very ugly.
"Our reconnaissance ship found that the Germany people's transport fleet did not accompany them. This shows that their transport fleet did not move with the fleet. Now, we just don't know where the Germany people's transport fleet is. The sea is so big, it is not easy to find the Germany people's transport fleet." Admiral Shimamura Hayao said.
"Let's find a way to organize another group of reconnaissance ships to see if we can discover the transport fleet of the Germany people. As soon as their transport fleet is discovered, immediately send a fleet to attack. As long as the transport fleet of the Germany people is killed, their fleet will not be able to leave!" Admiral Ijūin Gorō said.
"I hope Amaterasu Omikami can protect us and discover the Germany people's transport fleet earlier!" General Yashiro Rokuro sighed.
Island Nation Navy now completely pins its hope of defeating German Expeditionary Fleet on finding the fleet's transport fleet and defeating them by destroying the transport fleet and causing German Expeditionary Fleet to lose supplies. If Island Nation Navy and German Expeditionary Fleet were to confront each other head-on, they would have no courage and absolutely no confidence.
German Navy Expeditionary Fleet, all the way Kitakami, on August 10th, we arrived at Sagami Bay. Originally Uraga Channel was an extremely busy waterway, but German Expeditionary Fleet struck all the way, causing those merchant ships to huddle inside Tokyo Bay and not dare to go out. The naval base located at Yokosuka is even more exposed to a powerful enemy. All coastal defense guns were pointed toward the strait. Once German Expeditionary Fleet intends to enter Tokyo Bay, they will open fire immediately. Even Island Nation Navy deployed a large number of Naval Mine on Uraga Channel overnight to prevent German Expeditionary Fleet from entering Tokyo Bay.
German Navy Expeditionary Fleet's flagship 'Mackensen' number Battlecruiser, Vice Admiral Spee and Rear Admiral Mauff, are discussing the next battle.
"General, it seems that Island Nation Navy is determined to be a coward. We have sunk so many of their merchant ships and fishing boats, but they are still indifferent." Rear Admiral Mauff said.
"Yes! It seems that Island Nation Navy is still very wise. They know that if they fight with us, they have no chance of winning. That's why they adopt this method. However, they must have underestimated our determination. We will never give up until the Island Nation people bow their heads completely this time." Vice Admiral Spee said.
The battle will evolve into this. Although German Navy Expeditionary Fleet has unshirkable responsibility, at the same time, Island Nation Navy is also responsible for this. If they hadn't been huddled in the port, Expeditionary Fleet wouldn't have targeted Island Nation's coastal cities. Of course, Expeditionary Fleet is suspected of massacring civilians in doing so. But in the final analysis, the Island Nation people asked for it themselves. If they hadn't been ambitious enough to seize the colony belonging to Germany, Germany would not have sent Expeditionary Fleet eastward. Therefore, all this is the fault of Island Nation people.
"Give an order to the transport fleet. The fleet will resupply tonight. Tomorrow morning, launch an attack on Shizuoka and destroy it!" Vice Admiral Spee ordered.
Originally, Tokyo should be the best target. However, Vice Admiral Spee dare not take the risk to Uraga Channel. Island Nation people's coastal defense guns are nothing to worry about. But there is Naval Mine, which you have to guard against. The fleet cannot take risks unless absolutely necessary. After all, this place is far away from German homeland. If a battleship is lost, it will not be replenished for a long time.
"Yes, General." Rear Admiral Mauff immediately went to make arrangements.
That night, German Expeditionary Fleet met up with the supply fleet in the sea three hundred kilometers away from Sagami Bay. The battleships of the fleet replenished fuel, artillery shells, food and water from the supply fleet in turn. This sequential supply is enough to support several days of high-intensity fighting.
After the supplies were completed, it was already midnight. The fleet began to rush towards the first target circled by Vice Admiral Spee. The supply fleet continues to enter Pacific Ocean and is on standby.
On August 11, the sun rose as usual. When Pacific Ocean rose from the sea, German Expeditionary Fleet had once again entered Sagami Bay, aiming directly at Shizuoka.
At 7 a. m., Expeditionary Fleet arrived offshore of Shizuoka. The huge German fleet arrived in Shizuoka offshore, which made the Island Nation people living here feel like Panic.
"Amaterasu Omikami! Those Germany people are here. They are coming towards Shizuoka. What do they want to do?"
"Who knows? They don't want to bombard Shizuoka!"
"How is that possible? Germany people are members of a civilized society no matter what. How could they do such a thing?"
"I heard that the Germany people have been looking for a decisive battle with Imperial Navy. But Imperial Navy is acting like a coward and hiding in Tokyo Bay. The Germany people have no choice but to vent their anger on others."
"Baga! Those bastards in the navy. Empire people tighten their belts, support the development of the navy, buy warships for them, and build new warships. Could it be that when the enemy comes, they can only be a tortoise?"
"The enemy is too strong. Germany is now the most powerful country in the world! The navy is not as powerful as others, so there is nothing we can do if we choose to preserve our strength!"
German Expeditionary Fleet will not care about the thoughts of Island Nation people. They are soldiers, and their bounden duty is to obey orders.
"Order all ships to prepare!" Vice Admiral Spee gave the order coldly. At this moment, he knew what consequences his order would have. However, he still didn't hesitate at all.
One by one, Battlecruiser began to strike across the ship, aiming at Shizuoka with its broadside.
"Damn it, Germany people are really going to bombard Shizuoka!"
"Run away! Once the Germany people open fire, we will be dead!"
Countless Island Nation people began to flee in all directions. But it's too late. If they start to retreat right at the beginning. Perhaps, there is still a chance to escape. As for now, I'm afraid their only option is to be torn into pieces by cannonballs.
"Fire!" Vice Admiral Spee gave the order.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
'Mackensen' number Battlecruiser opened fire first, and the three-seater triple-mounted 380mm Main Gun started roaring. Heavy artillery shells roared towards Shizuoka.
The other eight Battlecruiser followed closely and started bombarding, throwing heavy shells at Shizuoka.
