Chapter 1022

Eastern Empire, Edo, Admiralty.

General Shitaro Shittaro has been on tenterhooks for a while. After the combined fleet went out, he was very worried about receiving telegrams of failure. During this period of time, he has focused all his energy on the construction of warships for the Navy. He has personally visited the shipyard many times to inspect the construction progress of warships.

In order to further speed up the construction of those warships, General Shitaro Shittaro has asked major shipyards to conduct three shifts. Moreover, a large number of skilled workers were further recruited for the construction of warships. This has greatly accelerated the progress of the warships being built.

But even so, it is impossible to put these warships into service in a short time. After all, the construction of a warship is not like going to the vegetable market to buy cabbage. It requires welding steel plates one by one.

For the Eastern Imperial Navy, the most important maritime combined fleet achieved its strategic goals and completed combat missions in the naval battle with the Third Reich Navy. In this case, it may be possible to reverse the situation and obtain a result that is beneficial to the Toyo Empire Navy and even the entire Toyo Empire.

Admiral Shitaro Shimada knew very well that with the strength of the combined fleet, it was unrealistic to defeat the Third Reich Navy in one fell swoop. However, the probability of losing both sides is still very high. The performance of these warships in the United Fleet is still very good. In addition, the officers and soldiers of the combined fleet are also well-trained and fearless of death.

"May Amaterasu bless the Imperial Navy and the Combined Fleet!"General Shitaro Shitama prayed to Amaterasu whenever he had free time. Although he didn't know whether such prayers were of any use. But it was somewhat of a psychological comfort. On the night of March 14, 1944,

Shitaro Shimada The admiral finally received the telegram from the combined fleet. However, this is undoubtedly bad news for Admiral Shitaro Shimada.

"Your Excellency, we have received a telegram from the Combined Fleet."A naval admiral reported with a frustrated expression.

As soon as he saw this admiral's face, General Shitaro Shittaro felt a very bad feeling in his heart.

"What's wrong? Can't it be bad news?"General Shitaro Shittaro pretended to be relaxed.

"Yes, Your Excellency. Bad news indeed!"The general responded in response to this order.

"call!"General Shitaro Shittaro exhaled heavily, tried to calm down his mood, and then said:"Okay, what is going on? I'm ready"

"Your Excellency, the Combined Fleet was completely wiped out in this decisive battle with the Third Reich Navy. All the warships were sunk by the third navy, and no one survived. His Excellency Marshal Yamamoto Fifty-sixth and others have served their country loyally."The general reported

"What? completely annihilated? No battleships survived? How can this be?"General Shitaro Shitaro was stunned.

Although he had already imagined that he might fail, he never thought that he would encounter such a disastrous defeat!

"Your Excellency, we have verified the authenticity of the telegram. This is indeed a telegram sent by the United Fleet at the last moment."The general said quickly

"idiot! What about the Germans? How much damage have we caused them?"Admiral Shitaro Shitaro asked through gritted teeth.

Although the Combined Fleet was completely wiped out, Admiral Shitaro Shitaro still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. If the Third Reich Navy also suffered heavy losses, then the Combined Fleet could not be considered a disastrous defeat this time. At most, it can be regarded as a lose-lose situation. In this case, they still have a chance to rise again. There is even a possibility of a comeback.

After all, there are a large number of warships being built in the shipyard. These are the Eastern Empire. The capital for the navy to rise again!

"Your Excellency, according to the report of the Combined Fleet, we have caused certain losses to the Third Reich Navy. However, the loss was not huge. It only sank a few aircraft carriers of the Third Reich Navy. In addition, several aircraft carriers and capital ships of the Third Reich Navy were severely damaged."The general replied

"idiot!"General Shitaro Shitaro couldn't help but cursed.

Then, he sat slumped on the chair, as if all his energy and energy had been sucked out. All the extravagant hopes in his heart had been shattered. Not only did they not They were able to severely damage the Third Reich Navy, but they also got themselves involved! This also means that the Toyo Empire Navy was not able to complete the scheduled combat mission at all. In this naval battle, they were completely defeated!

"Sir, what should we do now?"The general asked.

General Shitaro Shittaro knew very well that the Toyo Empire Navy had suffered a fatal blow this time. In fact, the Toyo Empire would be in great trouble because of this. Even if there are still a large number of warships in the shipyard, But if the army cannot withstand the attack of the Third Reich and is pushed closer to the mainland by the Third Reich, those warships may not have time to serve and will be destroyed. In this naval battle, the Toyo Empire Navy will no longer play any role. Got it

"Invite Shimamura-kun over immediately."General Shitaro Shimada ordered

"Hi, Your Excellency!"The general nodded and immediately went out to make a phone call.

Soon, General Shimamura Hayao, the commander-in-chief of the Naval Command Department of the Eastern Empire, rushed to the Navy Department.

However, General Shimamura Hayao's face was so gloomy that it seemed like he could drip water. Come on. Obviously, Admiral Shimamura Hayao has learned the news of the combined fleet's defeat.

"Shimada-kun, how could this happen? How could the United Fleet lose so miserably? No matter how powerful the Third Reich Navy was, it would not have such a result!"General Shimamura Hayao still finds it difficult to accept such a result.

"Shimamura-kun, the result of the naval battle has been revealed, even if we are unwilling to admit it or accept it. However, the result is what it is, and we have no choice but to accept it!"General Shitaro Shitaro said.

General Shimamura Hayao nodded:"Okay, Shimada-kun, what should we do now? The combined fleet was completely wiped out, and control of the entire Tianzhu Ocean fell into the hands of the Third Reich. Next, the Third Reich will definitely launch a large-scale attack. The Southern Army will be in great danger, and Nanyang and Australia will also be in danger. Even the entire Eastern Empire would be in great danger!"

General Shitaro Shittaro could not help but frown. He was also in a state of confusion and had no idea at all.
