"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Island Nation Coastal Defense Force's shore defense artillery continued to fire. One after another, the shells hit Uraga Channel, German Expeditionary Fleet, Light Cruiser and the destroyer. However, those large-caliber coastal defense guns have a slow rate of fire. Facing the high-speed Germany Light Cruiser and destroyers, their hit rate is very low. They can only watch those Light Cruiser and destroyers pass through the waterway.
"Boom!"
A 280mm coastal defense artillery shell hit Destroyer V40 which was passing through the waterway. Naturally, a destroyer with a displacement of less than a thousand tons cannot expect to have any thick armor.
The shell penetrated the hull and exploded inside. The huge power almost blew the destroyer into two pieces. A large amount of seawater poured into the battleship through the hole, causing the battleship to begin to sink rapidly.
"Damn it!" Vice Admiral Spee couldn't help but curse when he saw that one of his own destroyers was sunk.
They were about to win the final victory, but at this juncture, they actually lost another battleship. But this kind of loss is nothing to German Expeditionary Fleet. They can still afford losses. As long as Tokyo can be destroyed in the next battle, Island Nation people will be forced to surrender. Then, they win.
Island Nation Coastal Defense Force's luck seems to have ended here. Apart from sinking Destroyer V40, they had no other results. German Navy's Light Cruiser formation and destroyer formation were able to pass Uraga Channel smoothly and enter Tokyo Bay.
"Let's go too! We have won this battle, there is no doubt about it!" Vice Admiral Spee looked confident.
Uraga Channel is the last obstacle that prevents German Expeditionary Fleet from winning. Now, this difficulty has been overcome by them. Then, the next battle will naturally go very smoothly.
Vice Admiral Spee rode the flagship 'Mackensen' number Battlecruiser, together with the 'Goeben' number Battlecruiser and 'Seydlitz' number Battlecruiser, and finally entered Uraga Channel. Although, Island Nation Navy's shore defense guns were still firing fiercely. However, their shelling, just like the last struggle, was in vain. This does not pose any threat to the three Battlecruisers of German Expeditionary Fleet. At most, it would only add some minor damage to these battleships.
When German Expeditionary Fleet passes through Uraga Channel and enters Tokyo Bay, it will cause unimaginable damage to Island Nation people.
After German Expeditionary Fleet broke into Uraga Channel and was trying to pass through the waterway, he accidentally touched Naval Mine, causing an explosion, which made Island Nation Coastal Defense Force discover the situation. They immediately reported it to Tokyo.
General Island Nation Navy Minister Yashiro Rokuro was called from the warm bed. General Yashiro Rokuro was very annoyed because his sleep was affected. However, when the secretary told him what happened, General Yashiro Rokuro was stunned.
"Baga! What's going on? Didn't we deploy a large number of Naval Mine in Uraga Channel? How could the Germany people break into Uraga Channel? Aren't they afraid that their warships will touch Naval Mine and blow up their warships?" General Yashiro Rokuro asked with a dark face.
General Yashiro Rokuro knows that once German fleet breaks into Tokyo Bay, it will be a disaster for the Island Nation people living in Tokyo, as well as the entire Island Nation. There is no doubt that the Germany people will open fire on Tokyo. Tokyo will be destroyed by Germany people just like other cities destroyed by German fleet.
"Sir, no one knows what the Germany people think. But what is certain is that they have really done this. And they are about to succeed!" The secretary looked anxious.
"Send Telegram to Yokosuka Naval Base and ask them to immediately send all our destroyers to attack. This time, we must stop the Germany people. Otherwise, we will be finished!" General Yashiro Rokuro ordered.
"Hi, Your Excellency." The secretary nodded and immediately went to give the order.
"Come here, call Prime Minister's residence and tell Prime Minister that Germany people are about to break into Tokyo Bay. We must prepare early!" After General Yashiro Rokuro finished speaking, he immediately put on his clothes and asked someone to drive to Prime Minister's residence.
There is no doubt that German Expeditionary Fleet broke into Tokyo Bay, which is a big event for the entire Island Nation. If you are not careful, a disaster will happen.
Okuma Shigenobu Prime Minister After receiving the notice from General Yashiro Rokuro, his whole body felt like a bolt from the blue.
"Damn, what did those guys in the Navy do? Didn't they say that Uraga Channel's defense would be foolproof? How could they let Germany people break into Tokyo Bay? Did they I don't know, are those Germany people demons? If they break into Tokyo Bay, Tokyo Metropolis will be destroyed by them!" Okuma Shigenobu roared.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency Navy Minister is on his way to Prime Minister's residence!" the secretary reported.
"It's too late! Send an alarm immediately and ask the entire Tokyo people to evacuate immediately. If you don't leave, it will be too late." Okuma Shigenobu issued the order to evacuate the entire city without hesitation. Although, Tokyo now has a population of more than two million. It is almost impossible for so many people to evacuate in a short time. However, how much can be withdrawn! Okuma Shigenobu can no longer care about so much.
"Call the palace and ask His Majesty the Emperor to hide in the bomb-proof cave. In addition, notify Elder Statesmen and ask them to be prepared. Let other ministers rush to Prime Minister's residence immediately!" Okuma Shigenobu ordered.
Now it is almost impossible for Emperor Taisho to evacuate Tokyo. It is conceivable that once the news of Germany's arrival spreads, panicked people will definitely block every road to escape Tokyo. By that time, it will be impossible for Emperor Taisho to leave Tokyo, but may still be in danger. In that case, it would undoubtedly be safer to hide in the bomb-proof cave that the palace had built long ago. Although the palace is within the range of Germany people's Capital Ships. However, the possibility of the strong anti-blast hole being destroyed is not high. In that case, as long as Emperor Taisho's luck is not too bad, there won't be any big problems.
Each of the other Elder Statesmen is an important figure in Island Nation, and they cannot be missed. It can even be said that these elders are the important cornerstone of truly stable Island Nation politics and society. There must be no problem with their safety!
