Chapter 957

"A pre-emptive strike? Marshal, what do you mean?"Prime Minister Tojo Yinji was a little puzzled.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, this is the case. After the Eagle Sauce Country surrendered to the Third Reich, the Third Reich was soon able to take complete control of the Eagle Sauce Country. So, this also means that they can use the west coast of Eagle Country to deploy shore-based aircraft. Even through the Panama Canal, or directly bypassing South America and entering the Pacific Ocean. If there were no stopovers and replenishment on the west coast of the Eagle Country, the fleet of the Third Reich Navy would be very exhausted after a long voyage. The combat performance of the battleship will also be greatly affected by this. But if the Third Reich uses the naval base or port in the western part of the Eagle Country, it can launch an attack on us from the eastern part of the Pacific. At the same time, their navy can also attack us from the direction of the Indian Ocean. This would leave the Imperial Navy facing a two-front battle. For us who are already at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, it will be even more disadvantageous.

Therefore, we must take the lead in launching an attack before the Third Reich is ready, destroy the Panama Canal, destroy the naval bases and important ports on the west coast of the Eagle Country, so that the Third Reich cannot use those bases and ports. Those bases and ports will be unavailable, at least for a short period of time. In this case, we will not have to face a two-front war.

Even if the Third Reich Navy is determined to attack us from both sides. We can also wait for work and concentrate the main force to besiege the Third Reich Navy after a long voyage. In this way, we can establish as many advantages as possible in naval battles!"

Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku told all his considerations.

Prime Minister Tojo Yinji nodded immediately after hearing this.

"Your Excellency, Marshal, is right. We really cannot sit back and watch the Third Reich use the naval bases and ports in the western part of the Eagle Kingdom to attack us from a pincer attack."Prime Minister Tojo Yinji said

"Your Excellency, Marshal, what are the Navy going to do?"Prime Minister Tojo Yinji asked

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the main force of the combined fleet needs to launch an attack. At the same time, they launched an attack on the Panama Canal and the naval bases and ports on the west coast of the Eagle Country. Destroy the Panama Canal before the Third Reich could react. The naval base and port on the west coast of the Eagle Country were also destroyed. In this way, we can avoid as many disadvantages as possible. Only then can we have the possibility of winning in future naval battles!"Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku said

"Great, I approve the Navy's plan! The more the situation is unfavorable to us, the more we must take the initiative to launch an attack and seek opportunities to make up for the gap in strength between us and the Third Reich, so as to win this battle!"Prime Minister Tojo Yinji said

"Yes, Your Majesty the Prime Minister!"A number of senior officials from the Eastern Empire responded one after another.

"The empire finally dominated the Pacific and became the most powerful country in the Eastern Hemisphere. It became the most powerful country in the world second only to the Third Reich. If we fail to thwart the invasion of the Third Reich. Then it will be difficult for us to defend these interests. Without the vast resources obtained from overseas territories, it would be simply delusional for us to defeat the Third Reich. It is impossible for our people to live a good life. Therefore, we have no other choice but to fight against the enemy! This time, we must do our best to win. Do or die!"Prime Minister Tojo Yinji looked crazy.

"The empire will win! Long Live His Majesty the Emperor!"The senior officials of the Toyo Empire all shouted. It looked so crazy, as if they could really defeat the Third Reich and win the final victory.

Then, the Toyo Empire's combined navy fleet immediately took action..

A large number of warships secretly left the military port, converged on the ocean, and then headed towards the eastern waters of the Pacific.

The power of the Third Reich Navy in the Pacific was very limited. After the defeat of the Eagle Navy, all the navy had returned to the mainland.. The vast majority of people chose to surrender, and a very small number of people abandoned the sea and went to the Rocky Mountains to continue resisting. This also made the entire Pacific Ocean a bathtub for the Eastern Empire, allowing them to swim in the Pacific Ocean. Others The country can't do anything to them at all. It doesn't even know their movements, let alone collect their intelligence and launch an attack. So much so that the Toyo Empire Navy attacked the Panama Canal and the navy on the west coast of the Eagle Country this time. The Third Reich had no choice but to attack the bases and ports, and did not expect it at all.

Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku, Commander of the Combined Fleet, personally led the main force of the Combined Fleet to attack. At this moment, the number of dispatched aircraft carriers reached 15. These aircraft carriers They are all specially built aircraft carriers instead of modified seaplane carriers or submarine carriers and merchant ships. They have relatively strong carrying capacity and greater combat effectiveness.

The number of capital ships has also reached 16, including four Yamato-class battleships, four Kii-class battleships, two Kaga-class battleships, two Nagato-class battleships, and four Amagi-class battlecruisers. The remaining relatively old battleships are all left in China or elsewhere. Perform tasks in the sea area.

There are many cruisers and destroyers.

It can be said that the main force of the Toyo Empire Navy has been dispatched this time.

If the Third Reich Navy can seize the opportunity and annihilate it in one fell swoop. Then, the Toyo Empire Navy will It was completely over.

Unfortunately, the Third Reich Navy knew nothing about this and did not discover the plan of the Toyo Imperial Navy.

Therefore, the Toyo Imperial Navy won this operation.

January 17, 1943 AD On the 1st, the Combined Fleet of the Eastern Empire Navy simultaneously launched a fierce attack on the Panama Canal, the San Diego Naval Base on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, and ports in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and other places.

A large number of carrier-based aircraft bombed the Panama Canal. The locks of the Nama Canal even collapsed the river channels on both sides of the canal. The canal was destroyed and could no longer be used in a short period of time. The

San Diego Naval Base and several important ports were also damaged. When it came to carrier-based bombers and capital ship bombardments, the Eagle Navy had no preparation at all, so that the Eastern Empire's attack was successful. The

San Diego Naval Base and several other important ports were all destroyed..The

Third Reich Navy can no longer directly enter the eastern waters of the Pacific to fight. The only thing it can do is to launch an attack on the Oriental Empire from the direction of Tianzhu Ocean.
