Chapter 1020

"Your Excellency, the Imperial Navy sent a telegram, saying that they had won the naval battle on the Tianzhu Ocean."A naval admiral hurried to the Consulate and reported to Hess

"oh? very good. It seems that the Imperial Navy did not disappoint me, and still defeated the powerful enemy and won the victory!"Hess nodded with satisfaction. But other than that, he didn't seem too happy or excited. In other words, he was already in trouble for the Navy's victory.

"Is our loss great?" Hess asked.

Hess was more concerned about his own losses than victory. Who made the Third Reich have a relatively small population? They have lost a lot of troops in this war. In With the war about to be completely won, Hess naturally hoped that the casualties would be as low as possible.

"Your Excellency, in this naval battle, we had five Giant-class aircraft carriers and two Qi Bolin-class aircraft carriers sunk. In addition, there are more than ten cruisers and destroyers on the battlefield. In addition, three Giant-class aircraft carriers and two Qibelin-class aircraft carriers, as well as four capital ships, suffered heavy damage. Three Qi Bolin-class aircraft carriers suffered moderate damage. The human losses are still being counted."The general reported.

Hess nodded:"Okay, I understand. Tell the fleet to search and rescue the crew and pilots who fell into the water as much as possible. They are the empire's most valuable assets"

"Yes, Your Majesty the Governor!"The general replied

"We killed the entire combined fleet of the Japanese? How many battleships are there in total?"Hess finally asked this question.

When the general heard that Hess asked this question, he immediately became excited. In his opinion, this was a major victory for the Imperial Navy!

"Your Excellency, in this battle, we sank a total of 29 aircraft carriers, 22 battleships, 14 heavy cruisers, 16 light cruisers and 113 destroyers of the Eastern Empire Navy Combined Fleet. In terms of personnel, it is still unclear. But what is certain is that the Japanese navy has suffered a devastating blow. They may also have some destroyers and submarines at home. But for the Imperial Navy, it no longer poses much of a threat." said the general

"very good. However, according to the information we have, the Japanese shipyards in the country are frantically building warships. A large number of aircraft carriers and battleships are being built overtime. Therefore, the navy cannot take it lightly. Otherwise, we may have to pay huge casualties in the subsequent naval battle."Hess specifically warned

"Yes, Your Majesty the Governor!"The general replied. He was also aware of this problem. Although the Third Reich Navy had already won this naval battle, it was not the time to get carried away. Only when the Eastern Empire was at least completely defeated would we be happy.

That night , Hess went to the Supreme Command to convene a military meeting.

Since the navy had annihilated the Japanese combined fleet in the Tianzhu Ocean and completely gained control of the sea in the Tianzhu Ocean. Then, the Third Reich's large-scale attack on the Eastern Empire was naturally The war is about to begin, and we can no longer wait.

It is already March 1944. Hess hopes to completely end this war before August next year.

For the Third Reich, this war is The war has been going on for so long that the people of the empire are a little disgusted with the long war. This is because the Third Reich has continued to win in the war, allowing the people of the empire to fully enjoy the empire's role in this The reason for the war dividends obtained in this war. Otherwise, the anti-war thoughts may be more serious.

Therefore, Hess hopes to end this war in the shortest possible time. Only in this way can the people be satisfied and only It can make the Third Reich stronger.

The marshals present at the meeting all knew that the Imperial Navy had won the Battle of Tianzhu Yang and completely annihilated the Eastern Imperial Navy Combined Fleet. This made these marshals all smile..The victory of the navy was also a great victory for the Third Reich. It was also a great encouragement for the army and air force. After all, the victory of the navy and the control of the sea were undoubtedly the result of the large-scale offensive of the army and air force. Prerequisite. Now that the Navy has won the battle, it’s up to them.

"My marshals, our navy is doing a very good job on the Tianzhu Ocean. We successfully killed the Japanese combined fleet. The entire combined fleet was wiped out. The Toyo Empire Navy has suffered a devastating blow. Next, the empire can launch a large-scale attack on the Eastern Empire and completely destroy the Eastern Empire!" Hess said

"Yes, Your Majesty the Governor!"The marshals of the Third Reich all answered one after another.

Although the Eastern Empire can be regarded as a country with very strong military strength. However, after the Third Reich has defeated powerful opponents one after another, they no longer have any hope for the Eastern Empire. Don’t be afraid anymore. Almost everyone believes that it will be a sure thing for the Third Reich to defeat the Eastern Empire. This victory won by the Navy further proves this point.

"However, I hope that everyone will be more cautious in the next naval battle and not be complacent or take it lightly just because we have gained an absolute advantage. The Japanese people were able to develop from a small country separated by an island into the world's top power and dominate the entire Pacific Ocean. Naturally, they have their own uniqueness. Their soldiers have no regard for life, and they are not afraid of death when fighting. Its fighting will is even worse than that of the Imperial Army."Hess specifically reminded.

The Third Reich's continuous victories in this war gradually inevitably gave the army a sense of pride. This will most likely manifest itself as contempt for the enemy on the battlefield. As a result,

Hess would suffer a big loss. Hess did not want this to happen.

All the marshals nodded, and they all knew that Hess's worries were not unreasonable.

"Everyone, next we will launch a large-scale attack on the Eastern Empire. Strive to destroy the Eastern Empire in the shortest possible time. Has the High Command drawn up a battle plan? asked Hess.

"Your Excellency, the relevant combat plan has been drawn up by the Imperial High Command and can be implemented at any time! replied Marshal William Keitel.
