Chapter 1547 Declaring War

"噗" Qin Tian, ​​the emperor of the empire, stood up from the sofa all at once.

Although, he asserted before that the German navy would definitely win this naval battle. But in fact, he is not completely confident. After all, although the strength of the three major fleets of the German Navy is stronger than that of the US Navy, their strength is limited. In a fierce naval battle, if you are a little careless, you may lose.

Before, it was just to encourage the military and political officials of the empire, so Qin Tian looked very confident. But in fact, one of his hearts has always been hanging. It's just that he is the emperor, so he has to stay calm.

Now, he finally got the news of winning, which undoubtedly made him extremely excited and pleasantly surprised.

The other military and political ministers of the empire also stood up one after another. Obviously, the Imperial Navy has really won. This news is undoubtedly a shock to everyone.

"Are you sure? We have defeated the Americans and won the naval battle?" Qin Tian asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The Imperial Navy has already defeated the U.S. Navy. We have won this naval battle!" the general affirmed repeatedly.

Only then did Qin Tian feel relieved, the smile on his face could no longer be restrained.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" The military and political ministers of the empire said one after another.

Obviously, now that the news that the Imperial Navy has won, no doubt everyone's hearts have finally returned to their stomachs. The original worries were all gone because of this. The situation of the war is still developing in favor of Germany. It is foreseeable that Germany's victory in this war is already a certainty.

Marshal Raeder, the German Navy Minister, was especially happy. Among the people present, he is undoubtedly the most concerned about this naval battle. If the German Navy failed to defeat the Americans, but was defeated, then he really didn't know what to do. Fortunately, the German Navy finally won the naval battle, which made him finally relieved.

"Everyone, the warriors of the Imperial Navy, with their hard work, once again defeated the powerful enemy, and let the whole world know that the most powerful navy in the world is still the Imperial Navy." Qin Tian said loudly.

"Long live the Imperial Navy!" All the ministers roared.

Everyone was overwhelmed with excitement because of this victory. After all, everyone knows how important the navy's victory in this battle is to Germany. It can be said that it is precisely because of this battle that Germany no longer has to be afraid of the threat of the United States. Of course, the United States is very powerful, and if Germany wants to defeat the United States, it will have to pay a greater price. However, at least the United States was no longer able to threaten Germany's fighting in other battlefields. Germany only needs to follow the predetermined plan step by step and defeat the enemies one by one.

"How big is the victory of the Imperial Navy?" Qin Tian asked.

"Your Majesty, according to the statistics of the frontline fleet, the Imperial Navy sank a total of 15 aircraft carriers, 9 capital ships, 19 heavy cruisers, 28 light cruisers and 63 destroyers of the US Navy in this battle. Among them, 15 Among the aircraft carriers, there were 10 large aircraft carriers and 5 light aircraft carriers. 9 capital ships were sunk, including two 'Montana-class' battleships, three 'Iowa-class' battleships and four 'South Dakota-class' battleships 'Battleship,' reported the general.

"15 aircraft carriers and 9 capital ships? This victory is really great! After this battle, the U.S. Navy has only 9 aircraft carriers and 6 capital ships left. It is no longer possible to pose any threat to the Imperial Navy. "Marshal Manstein said.

"Yes, Marshal Manstein. Although the U.S. Navy still has some aircraft carriers and battleships left, they are already at a complete disadvantage to the Imperial Navy." Marshal Raeder smiled.

The German navy was able to win you such a major victory this time, even beyond his expectations. It can be said that the German Navy has wiped out the main force of the US Navy through this battle. It is almost impossible for the U.S. Navy to pose a threat to the German Navy again. Even, the German Navy will be able to suppress the US Navy very easily in the next battle and win the final victory.

"Everyone, it seems that it is impossible for the Americans to compete with us for sea dominance in the Atlantic. The Imperial Navy will once again gain dominance in the Atlantic until the end of this war!" Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Raeder replied proudly.

"Did we lose a lot in this naval battle?" Qin Tian asked.

The German Navy won the victory, so the next thing to care about is the battle damage of the German Navy.

"Your Majesty, in this battle of the Imperial Navy, one aircraft carrier was sunk, and three other aircraft carriers were severely damaged. In terms of carrier-based aircraft, more than 700 carrier-based aircraft were lost. In terms of capital ships, a battleship was sunk. In addition, five capital ships were severely damaged. As for cruisers, two anti-aircraft cruisers were severely damaged, four heavy cruisers were sunk, 13 light cruisers were sunk, and 18 destroyers were sunk. The shore bases on the Azores More than 400 planes have been lost." The general continued to report.

Qin Tian nodded. To him, the emperor, and the military and political ministers, these losses were just figures. Of course, the loss of carrier-based aircraft and shore-based aircraft seems to be not small, but it is undoubtedly insignificant for the major victory achieved.

"Marshal Raider, those sailors and pilots, we must rescue them as much as possible," Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I believe that the commanders on the front line have already issued such an order." Marshal Raeder replied.

"In addition, the damaged battleship must be repaired as soon as possible. The US Navy still has considerable strength, and we cannot take it lightly." Qin Tian urged.

Although the German Navy won, it has not completely wiped out the US Navy. Therefore, the German Navy has to make persistent efforts.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Raeder nodded solemnly. He also knows that although the German navy has won now, it is far from the point where it can sit back and relax.

"Your Majesty, there is one thing we must do immediately." Foreign Minister Ribbentrop said.

"What's the matter?" Qin Tian asked.

"Declaration of war! Declare war on the Americans! The Americans have declared war without declaration, making our two countries already at war. However, we should also declare war on them immediately." Ribbentrop said.

Qin Tian nodded: "It's time to declare war on the United States!"

In the afternoon of the same day, Emperor Qin Tian made a TV and radio speech, officially declaring war on the United States.
