Chapter 1005

The generals of the combined fleet all looked at Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku, wondering what he was thinking and what he planned to do next.

"Gentlemen, as the commander of the combined fleet, when the aircraft carrier formation was destroyed, I originally planned to die to apologize and bear the responsibility for the defeat. However, for the sake of the Empire and the Imperial Navy, I have chosen to live an ignoble existence for the time being. Because if we give up and continue to fight, the empire will lose and will never have a chance again."Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku said

"Of course, it is difficult for us to have a chance to turn around in this battle and to defeat the Third Reich Navy. But what if we just throw in the towel. So what’s next for the Third Reich’s navy? They would first cut off the sea transportation line between the Tianzhu Peninsula and the Empire, trap the Southern Army in a tight siege, and then eat the Southern Army. Immediately afterwards, the Third Reich will launch a massive attack on Southeast Asia and even Australia. With them completely occupying sea control, it is not very difficult to win victories in Southeast Asia and Australia. Once they win, they will probably launch an attack on the empire itself. Without control of the sea, the empire could only carry out local defense, and it was a dead end with the Third Reich. Moreover, there is a great possibility that the Empire will eventually lose."Marshal Isoroku Yamamoto continued.

All the generals nodded, and they all agreed with Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku's analysis.

For a country like the Eastern Empire, which is composed of islands, the importance of the navy is self-evident. Metaphor.

After losing the navy and losing control of the sea, it is equivalent to letting the enemy slaughter it.

No matter how strong the army is, it is almost impossible to hold on to the homeland.

It can be said that after the combined fleet suffered a defeat, The fate of the Eastern Empire is undoubtedly doomed

"If we can seize the last opportunity in this battle and severely damage the Third Reich Navy. Even if it causes greater losses to the aircraft carrier formation of the Third Reich Navy. Then, the Third Reich Navy will also suffer a great loss in strength. In the next war, we may have a chance. There are still a large number of warships under construction in our shipyard. Taiho-class aircraft carriers, Taiho-class aircraft carriers, subsequent models of Unryu-class aircraft carriers, as well as the second batch of Kii-class battleships, Amagi-class battlecruisers and Yamato-class battleships are all being built overtime. However, this takes time. Once the Third Reich Navy suffered heavy losses. Then, the Army will be able to hold on for a longer time in the Tianzhu Peninsula, Southeast Asia and Australia. We have the opportunity to build a strong navy again. At that time, we can completely rely on our fleet to protect the empire. Even if we rely on this to negotiate with the Third Reich Navy and preserve most of the empire's interests, there is no problem at all."Admiral Yamamoto Fifty-Six told all his thoughts.

Only then did the generals of the combined fleet suddenly realize

"Your Excellency, Marshal, it turns out that we are too stupid for you to think so deeply. General Kogamine sighed.

"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal. If we can successfully inflict serious damage on the Third Reich Navy. Then, there is still hope for the empire. The Imperial Navy also has a chance to rise again. Lieutenant General Ozawa Jisaburo also said. Marshal

Yamamoto Isoroku nodded:"The most critical thing now is how we can seize the opportunity and inflict heavy damage on the Third Reich Navy. This is the most critical thing." If the Navy of the Third Reich cannot be severely damaged, then everything will be empty talk."

"Your Majesty Marshal, this time we are fighting against the Third Reich Navy. Even if all the battleships and all the people are used up, they will not hesitate!"General Kogamine expressed his position.

"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal. Even if everyone is shattered, as long as they can severely damage the Third Reich Navy, it is worth it! Lieutenant General Ozawa Jisaburo also said quickly.

Although the generals of the Toyo Empire Navy are much more rational than the generals of the army.

However, they are also fearless of death in war. As long as they can win, Even if it means sacrificing his own life, he will not hesitate to do so.

"Very good, I believe that with everyone united, we can definitely make the Third Reich Navy pay a sufficient price. After all, although we are inferior to the Third Reich Navy in terms of the number of capital ships. However, we are not without our trump cards. Especially in the case of night fighting!"The eyes of Marshal Yamamoto Fifty-Six were full of fierce light.

"Don’t forget, our 610mm torpedoes are very suitable for launching attacks at night. Once we launch a lightning strike at night, we will definitely cause the Third Reich Navy to pay huge losses!"Marshal Isoroku Yamamoto said.

The generals of the combined fleet suddenly brightened up.

The 610mm torpedo is indeed one of the few black technologies of the Imperial Navy of the East. This kind of torpedo is also called an oxygen torpedo. Compared with Traditional torpedoes are not only fast and have a long range, but are also more powerful.

Even if the battleship is hit by one, it will be severely damaged. This also gives the combined fleet an opportunity to make a big difference with a small one.

The oxygen of the Eastern Empire Navy The torpedo, also known as the Type 93 torpedo, has a maximum range of forty kilometers. Even when sailing at a speed of 48 knots, the maximum speed can reach twenty kilometers. You know, in this era, it has It is very astonishing.

Moreover, the 490 kilograms of the warhead of the Type 93 torpedo is enough to tear apart the armor of any battleship once it successfully hits the target. Even the Type 93 torpedo has sacrificed its range. In this case, the warhead charge has reached 790 kilograms. It can truly hit the soul with one shot. Large battleships and large aircraft carriers are also very likely to be severely damaged by one shot, especially if they are hit in key positions. There is a possibility of sinking directly

"Gentlemen, please go back and prepare. Next, adjust the course immediately and engage in the final decisive battle with the Third Reich Navy! Marshal Yamamoto Fifty-Six ordered

"Hi, Mr. Marshal!"The generals of the Combined Fleet responded one after another.

Next, everyone went back to prepare.

Half an hour later, the remaining warships of the Combined Fleet completed the turn and rushed towards the location of the Third Reich Navy at maximum speed, trying to take advantage of the situation. Under the cover of night, they severely damaged the Third Reich Navy and achieved their strategic goals.
