Using a destroyer tounch a lightning strike is already thest resort for thebined fleet of the ind nation''s navy. If even this method fails to work, it is simply impossible for them to defeat the German expeditionary fleet and win.
The current General Ijuin Goro is extremely depressed precisely because he has seen such a result.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The battlecruisers, light cruisers and destroyers of the German expeditionary fleet are all fiercely firing at the destroyers of the ind navy. If you want to ensure the safety of your own capital ship, you must sink these assassin-like destroyers. Otherwise, the crisis will not be resolved.
Under the intensive firepower of the German expeditionary fleet, the destroyers of the ind nation, which were withdrawing from the battle and preparing to reload the torpedoes, suffered extremely heavy losses. Arge number of destroyers were hit, caught fire, or were directly torn apart and sank to the bottom of the sea.
Soon, there were not many destroyers left in thebined fleet of the ind nation''s navy.
When the United Fleet set off from Tokyo Bay, there were a total of 39 destroyers. During the confrontation with the destroyers of the German Expeditionary Fleet, one was sunk and one was severely damaged. The remaining 37 ships were all dispatched during this lightning strike. However, when they fired the first round of torpedoes and then retreated safely, there were only 12 ships left. The other 25 destroyers were all sunk by the German expeditionary fleet during the fierce battle.
The remaining 12 destroyers seem to be quite a lot. However, such a small number of destroyers is obviously not enough to pose any threat to the German expeditionary fleet. Among other things, the escorting destroyers of the German expeditionary fleet alone are much more than the remaining destroyers of the ind navy. In addition, there are still 7 light cruisers that still havebat power, which is enough to form aplete protection for the eight battlecruisers of the German expeditionary fleet. If the destroyer formation of the ind navy continues tounch attacks, there will only be one result, which is to let them die.
However, before the order to stop the lightning strike was issued, the captains of the destroyer formation of the ind navy knew that if there was another lightning strike, they would surely die. However, they stillunched an attack. The bounden duty of a soldier is to obey orders, and this is an ironw that must never be vited in the highly hierarchical navy of an ind country!
Fortunately, General Ijuin Goro is not a fool. He knows that if they attack again, they will only suffer greater losses. In that case, it will undoubtedly be a bit uneconomical.
"Yamashita-kun, order the destroyer fleet to stop lightning strikes!" Admiral Ijuin Goro ordered.
"Your Excellency, Commander, are you going to give up?" Major Gentaro Yamashita looked unwilling.
"We must give up! If we don''t give up, we will pay a higher price. If this is the case, the Imperial Navy will bepletely finished." Admiral Ijuin Goro made up his mind.
Since failure is inevitable. So, instead of continuing to fight and causing them to pay greater losses, it is better to stop now and save as much strength as possible for the ind navy. In this case, there may be a chance to rise again in the future. Otherwise, once all the elites of the ind nation''s navy are lost here, the consequences will be even more serious.
"Order the fleet to retreat immediately!" Admiral Ijuin Goro gave the order to retreat.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander!" Major General Gentaro Yamashita nodded.
After the order to retreat was issued, therge and small warships of thebined fleet of the ind nation''s navy. They turned the bows one after another and began to evacuate. In order to escape quickly, Admiral Ijuin Goro ordered all warships to increase their speed as much as possible so that they could escape as soon as possible. As long as the United Fleet can escape back to Tokyo Bay, it will be safe.
"Your Excellency, Commander, if we retreat, how will we exin to the country?" Major Gentaro Yamashita was a little worried. You know, the domestic government pinned its hopes of defeating the Germans on them. Now not only did not defeat the Germans, but suffered heavy losses under the German attack, and had to withdraw to Tokyo Bay. Those people in the cab will definitely be very dissatisfied with them. At that time, the Navy will be under tremendous pressure as a result.
A trace of helplessness shed across General Ijiin Goro''s face.
"Don''t worry, as themander of the United Fleet, I will give the cab an exnation!" Admiral Ijuin Goro said.
Major Gentaro Yamashita fell silent immediately, he knew what General Ijuin Goro meant. For the generals of ind countries, the mostmon way to take responsibility is tomit seppuku.
"Yamashita-kun! We have already lost this battle. The Germans are too powerful. Therefore, there is no way for us to lose this war. However, losing the war now does not mean that we will always Lose! I believe that the empire will be stronger again. Next time, we will definitely defeat the Germans!" General Ijuin Goro said confidently. It''s a pity that even if the ind nation''s navy will have a strong day in the future, he will definitely not see it.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander!" Major Gentaro Yamashita nodded heavily. He knew that General Ijuin Goro was confessing hisst words. When they fled back to Tokyo Bay, it would be the time when General Ijuin Goromitted seppuku. Only in this way can we take responsibility for this failure.
General Ijiin Goro nodded in satisfaction, and said no more. He believes that the reason why the ind nation''s navy failed this time is entirely because the enemy is too powerful. Although the development speed of the navy of the ind country has not been slow in recent years,pared with the western powers, the gap is undoubtedly still veryrge. That''s why they lostpletely in front of a fleet randomly dispatched by the Germans.
Furthermore, Germany is too strong, while the ind countries are too weak. The ridiculous thing is that the weak ind country still wants to seek the interests of Germany. Isn''t that a dead end? Originally, the ind''s cab thought that Germany would swallow its anger and acquiesce in the ind''s behavior. But they were wrong after all. As the most powerful country in the world, how could Germany let the ind countries threaten them? In this case, wouldn''t that damage the majesty of Germany? Therefore, Germany did not hesitate to send an expeditionary fleet to the ind country. In the end, the ind country paid a heavy price for this!
"It''s all the army guys. They upied Southeast Asia, but now they want the navy to help them resist the Germans! It''s so shameless!" General Ijuin Goro cursed.
