Chapter 976

Lion City, the temporary headquarters of the Eastern Empire Navy's combined fleet.

Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku looked at the telegram sent from the country with an expressionless face. Beside him, General Nagumo Tadashi and Lieutenant General Fukurun Shige had somewhat ugly expressions.

They had seen the telegram, a rebuke from home. Prime Minister Tojo Onki was very dissatisfied that the combined fleet had been staying in the Lion City. The combined fleet is required to find a way to defeat the Third Reich Navy in the near future and reopen the transportation line with Tianzhu.

This was clearly a layman commanding an expert, which naturally made the navy generals very dissatisfied. Everyone thinks that this is simply asking the United Fleet to die!

Compared with the army, the Toyo Empire Navy appears to be more rational. They don't fall into madness when their brains get hot. They know better what to do in specific situations.

After reading the telegram, Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku put it aside casually.

"Marshal, what should we do now? Shall we follow the Prime Minister's orders?"Lieutenant General Fukudome Shige couldn't help but ask.

Obviously, the country is already very dissatisfied with the Combined Fleet. If they don't follow orders this time and dare to disobey, I'm afraid all the generals of the Combined Fleet will suffer. It's time to deal with it

"well!"Marshal Yamamoto Fifty-Six sighed heavily.

"These commanders of the Third Reich Navy are really difficult to deal with! The battlefield I originally planned was at Menggala Bay, in an attempt to combine shore-based aviation forces, shorten the strength gap between the two sides, and defeat them in one fell swoop. But unexpectedly, they took action first. Directly destroying our shore-based aviation forces deployed along the Gulf of Menggala. This makes us have to rely on our own strength in the next naval battle. And we have to admit that the strength of our fleet is much worse than that of the Third Reich Navy. Under such circumstances, it will naturally be difficult for us to win!"Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku's face looked a little unsightly.

"Marshal, what should we do? Can we mobilize another batch of fighter planes from China?"General Nagumo Chuichi asked.

As the commander of the Combined Fleet aircraft carrier formation, he is very aware of the strength of his own aircraft carrier formation. He knows that once they face the Third Reich Navy, they may have a difficult chance of winning. Therefore, he believes that Yamamoto Isoroku The strategy of the Sixth Marshal is completely correct.

Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku shook his head:"The Third Reich Navy will not give us this opportunity! Their transport fleets are already transiting the Suez Canal and the Red Sea. Soon, we will arrive at Tianzhu Peninsula. Although, this time, only about 200,000 people from the Third Reich Army were sent to the Tianzhu Peninsula. But next, there will definitely be a steady stream of transport fleets arriving at Tianzhu Peninsula. The Southern Army may be in danger this time. Although our army's combat effectiveness is very strong, when compared with the Third Reich Army, which is the world's number one, the gap is also very large. Once the armies of the Third Reich arrived in Tianzhu Peninsula in a steady stream. The South would most likely be defeated. By then, the responsibility for the Southern Army's failure will most likely be pinned on our heads."

Suddenly, the expressions of General Nagumo Tadashi and Lieutenant General Fukurun Shige changed greatly.

The Southern Army has more than two million people. Once so many troops are annihilated on the Tianzhu Peninsula, it will undoubtedly be a huge loss for the Eastern Empire Army. It will be very painful.

The families of these troops will definitely be extremely hostile to the Navy. No one at the top of the Navy can afford such a responsibility! It can be said that facing the Third Reich this kind of Pressing forward step by step, the Combined Fleet has no choice at all.

If the Combined Fleet can't defeat the Third Reich through a hard battle, even if the entire army is annihilated, then at least they have tried their best. Neither the army nor the people at home can. No matter how much you blame them.

But if they retain their strength but sit back and watch the Southern Army be wiped out, then the consequences will probably be very, very serious.

"Damn the Germans, their plans are really vicious! This simply makes it impossible for us to avoid the battle anymore, and we must fight them decisively! General Nagumo Chudai said.

Marshal Yamamoto Fifty-Six nodded. This is what made him depressed and unwilling.

"Your Excellency, Commander, can we launch an attack on the Third Reich's army transport fleet and send their army transport fleet directly to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish!"General Nagumo Tadashi flashed a trace of evil in his eyes.

If we can directly destroy those transport fleets and thus wipe out the Third Reich Army on the sea, this will undoubtedly be an extremely great victory.

Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku shook his head. :"It’s almost impossible. The Third Reich had long been on guard. Their navy is always watching us. Our destroyer and cruiser formations fought against the cruiser and destroyer formations of the Third Reich Navy in the Sunda Strait and the western part of the Malacca Strait. In addition, the transport fleet of the Third Reich Army will most likely follow the coastline of the Dashi Peninsula. In this way, even if you encounter danger, you can avoid it immediately. What's more, they were protected by many cruisers and destroyers. Unless we dispatch the main fleet to attack, there will be no chance. However, once the main fleet is dispatched, it will inevitably be intercepted by the main fleet of the Third Reich Navy. In addition, the Third Reich Air Force also sent a large number of fighter planes into the Dashi Peninsula. This apparently also provides protection for their army transport fleet"

"The Germans are really watertight! Lieutenant General Fu Liufan sighed.

"yes! So this time we have no other choice but to fight against the Third Reich Navy."Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku said

"Your Excellency, Marshal, now that the matter is over, let’s fight against the Third Reich Navy! The longer it goes on, the worse it will be for us! General Nanyun Chuda said.

"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal. At worst, we will have to fight the Third Reich Navy. Even if we are weaker than them. However, all our naval officers regard death as death. We may not lose to the Third Reich Navy! Lieutenant General Fukurun Shige also said.

Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku nodded:"Command the fleet to prepare." The fleet will set off tonight. Take the Sunda Strait and enter the Tianzhu Ocean. This time, we will fight to the death with the Third Reich Navy. The Imperial Navy must win! His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!"

"Hi, Mr. Marshal!"General Nagumo Tadashi and Lieutenant General Fukudome Shige both answered loudly.
