"Your Majesty, Island Nation people are still insisting on uncompromising, even though we have destroyed eight of their big cities. Is it possible that we really want to destroy all the coastal cities of Island Nation people? In that case, the impact will be too great!" Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz asked.
Everyone found that they had seriously underestimated the degree of paranoia of Germany people. Originally they thought that the Island Nation people would soon succumb. Especially after their navy was wiped out, it seemed that there was no other way but to surrender to the German Empire. However, what surprises everyone is that Island Nation people are still gritting their teeth.
"It is unrealistic to destroy all Island Nation coastal cities. In that case, we will truly become synonymous with the murderous devil!" Oscar shook his head.
"But we can't keep delaying it like this, right? Expeditionary Fleet's supplies can't last much longer. If we can no longer force the Island Nation people to bow their heads, then we will have no choice but to let Expeditionary Fleet return or send more transport ships to Island Nation." Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz said.
Oscar couldn't help but frowned. He also felt that this matter seemed to be more difficult!
"Your Majesty, our people discovered that the Island Nation people are plundering wealth and resources in Southeast Asia's colony. Obviously, they are preparing to escape. If we can't get the Island Nation people to compromise as soon as possible, we will suffer a lot from this!" Prime Minister Bülow reminded.
"Expeditionary Fleet has any suggestions for this?" Oscar asked.
Expeditionary Fleet is in Island Nation, and they undoubtedly have a more comprehensive grasp of the relevant situation of Island Nation. Therefore, Oscar hopes to listen to their opinions first. In this case, it will also be easier for him to make a judgment.
"Your Majesty, Expeditionary Fleet proposed that they plan to break into Tokyo Bay by force and directly launch bombardment on Tokyo. Tokyo is from Island Nation The capital. If Tokyo is destroyed by us, this will be an unparalleled shock to Island Nation people. At that time, Island Nation people will probably have to bow their heads!" Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz said.
"Forcibly break into Tokyo Bay? That's a good idea. However, as the capital of the Island Nation people, Tokyo Bay's defense must be very strict. Uraga Channel's defense is not that easy to break into." Oscar knows how difficult it is to do this.
"Yes, Your Majesty. However, this is undoubtedly a way to make Island Nation people bow their heads as soon as possible. Expeditionary Fleet will be fully prepared!" Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz said.
Oscar nodded. "Okay, tell Admiral Spee that I approve their plan. However, they must ensure as much safety as possible when they act. If the loss is too great, I would rather give up."
No matter at any time, Oscar always pays close attention to the safety of the troops, and he puts this first.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz replied.
All the main forces of Sagami Bay and German Expeditionary Fleet have gathered here. After they destroyed Kitakyushu, they found that the Island Nation people still did not surrender. Vice Admiral Spee ordered the fleet to return to Sagami Bay. At the same time, he sent a copy of Telegram to the country, hoping that the country would agree to his plan.
"Uraga Channel's safe route, have you obtained it?" Vice Admiral Spee asked.
"General, it is very difficult. We can only send seaplanes and destroyers to test quietly. At present, we have only barely found a relatively safe channel. But we cannot guarantee whether it is 100% safe." Rear Admiral Mauff said with a serious face.
Vice Admiral Spee nodded. He naturally knew that nothing could ever be truly 100% sure.
"Let our most powerful 'Mackensen-class' Battlecruiser open the way. The powerful defense of 'Mackensen-class' Battlecruiser may be able to withstand the power of the Naval Mine explosion, right?" Vice Admiral Spee said.
"General, 'Mackensen-class' Battlecruiser does have strong defense. If it is only hit by one Naval Mine, it will not be a big problem. Even if the armor is penetrated, it will not cause much damage to the battleship. Of course, if Naval Mine is continuously touched, it will be very difficult to say." Rear Admiral Mauff said.
Vice Admiral Spee Although he knew this was a bit risky, he still planned to try this method!
"General, in addition to worrying about the Naval Mine deployed by the Island Nation people, we also have to worry about the coastal defense batteries deployed by the Island Nation people on both sides of the Uraga Channel. Compared with the coastal defense batteries elsewhere in the Island Nation, The shore defense turrets on both sides of Uraga Channel are undoubtedly the most advanced. The maximum caliber of the main gun is 305 mm. Our Battlecruiser has thick skin and can withstand it. However, it will be very difficult for those Light Cruiser and destroyers." Rear Admiral Mauff reminded.
"Indeed, this is a problem. However, we can let Battlecruiser pass Uraga Channel first, and let Light Cruiser and the destroyer speed through later. In other words, after Battlecruiser When E passed through the waterway, it suppressed the coastal defense batteries of Island Nation and created conditions for Light Cruiser and the destroyer to pass through the waterway," Vice Admiral Spee said.
Rear Admiral Mauff nodded. "This should be able to play a certain role. However, once we enter Tokyo Bay, we may have to face the attack of the destroyer formation of Island Nation people. I believe that at that time they will attack without fear of death. Therefore, once our fleet enters Tokyo Bay, we must be prepared for this immediately!"
"Well! There should not be many destroyers left by the Island Nation people. If we can launch a surprise attack, by the time they react, we will have already entered Uraga Channel. In that case, our danger will not be so great!" Vice Admiral Spee said.
"Yes, General."
"Now that we are ready, let's start tomorrow morning! This time, we must pass Uraga Channel and enter Tokyo Bay. Let Island Nation people know and offend Empire What consequences will have? Once Tokyo is destroyed by us, I don't believe that Island Nation people will have the courage to continue." Vice Admiral Spee said.
"Yes, General!" Rear Admiral Mauff nodded.
Of course, this time forcefully breaking into Tokyo Bay and launching an artillery bombardment on Tokyo may cause certain casualties. However, overall the threat should not be too great. This makes German Expeditionary Fleet hope to achieve the final victory through this adventure.
At 4 o'clock in the morning on August 19, German Expeditionary Fleet started to set off, preparing to pass Uraga Channel.
