"Your Excellency, the 2nd Aircraft Carrier Squadron is over. All four aircraft carriers were sunk, as were all heavy cruisers and light cruisers. Several destroyers were also lost!" Major General Takahashi Imo reported.
Admiral Yamamoto Fifty-six''s face was as gloomy as water. He never thought that the United Fleet would pay such a big loss in this battle. After they sessfully attacked the Mariana Inds, he once thought that they would win this naval battle. However, the final result gave him a p in the face, making him realize the reality. That is,pared with the powerful German navy, the navy of the ind country is still too weak!
"Four aircraft carriers were sunk, nine capital ships were sunk, and two were severely damaged. At the same time, there were also arge number of heavy cruisers, light cruisers, and destroyers sunk! Thebined fleet lost more than half of itsbat power in this battle!" General Yamamoto fifty-six sighed.
"The carrier-based aircraft and pilots are almost lost!" Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi added in his heart.
They all know that the United Fleet has undoubtedly suffered a fatal blow this time. In the next battle, it will be even more difficult to defeat the German navy. If they fail, they will bepletely defeated in this naval battle.
At the same time, they also know that the entire ind country pins its hopes on them, hoping that they can defeat the German navy in the war and open the way for the army to go south. However, in the end it was such a result. The navy cannot gain control of the sea, does the army dare to go south? The German navy can send the army going south to the sea to feed the fish at any time. Under such circumstances, it has be an unattainable dream for the army of the ind country to go south to capture Nanyang and Australia.
If Southeast Asia and Australia cannot be upied, the ind countries will not have the resources to maintain the war. Although, the Americans are still providingrge amounts of resources to the ind countries. However, all fools know that once the United States officially enters the war, the consumption of war materials will increase explosively. At that time, Americans will definitely give priority to meeting their own needs. It will be very difficult for ind countries to obtain resources. Therefore, going south to win Nanyang and Australia has be something that ind countries must do. Otherwise, the ind country will have nothing to do in this war. Even after Germany frees up, the ind country can be destroyed at any time.
"Report this news to the country! The war has be like this. It is definitely impossible to hide it." General Yamamoto Fifty-Six said. Although he knew what impact the news of thebined fleet''s failure would have when it was sent back home. But he has no choice, he can''t really keep it a secret.
"Hi, Your Excellency Commander!" Major General Takahashi Iwang nodded.
"In addition, prepare a seane, and I will rush back to China immediately." General Yamamoto Fifty-Six said.
As one of the three chiefs of the ind nation''s navy, the ind nation''s navy has suffered such a heavy loss. He must rush back to China as soon as possible to discuss with the Minister of the Sea, Mitsumasa Minai, and the Minister of the Navy, Admiral Fushimi Miyahiro.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander, I will make arrangements immediately." Major General Takahashi Iwang said.
"Nagumo-kun, after I leave, you will be in charge of the fleet. You must take all the remaining battleships back to the maind safely. Thebined fleet that has suffered heavy losses can no longer suffer losses." Yamamoto Fifty-Six said the general.
"Hey, Your Excellency, Commander, I will definitely bring the fleet back!" Lieutenant Admiral Nagumo Chuichi replied.
Half an hourter, General Yamamoto Fifty-Six left the aircraft carrier ''Ibuki'' in a seane and returned to the ind country ahead of schedule.
It''s just that the ind country at this moment has also be turbulent because of the news of thebined fleet''s fiasco.
The Ministry of the Navy of the ind country, the Minister of the Navy, Mitsumasa Minai, and the Minister of Naval Command, Admiral Fushimi Gong Hiroshi, are waiting for the news of thebined fleet. They have been notified by the United Fleet before that from the night of February 3 to the morning of February 4, it will be a decisive battle between the United Fleet and the German Navy. They are also looking forward to this decisive battle, looking forward to a brilliant victory for thebined fleet.
"His Excellency, I believe Yamamoto-kun will be able to lead the joint fleet to defeat the Germans this time. Didn''t they attack the German bases in the Mariana Inds before, and they did a very good job?" General Fushimi Gong Hiroshi With a smile on his face, he is obviously very confident in the United Fleet.
Admiral Minai Mitsumasa nodded, he also hoped that the United Fleet could win.
"If Yamamoto-kun and the others can win, then the imperial navy will be able to dominate the entire Pacific Ocean. At that time, the army will dispatch arge number of troops to attack Nanyang and Australia. The Germans only have hundreds of thousands of people in Nanyang and Australia. There are fewer colonial troops, but it must not be our opponent''s. The final victory must be ours!" General Minai Mitsumasa also said.
"As long as the empire can upy Southeast Asia and Australia, the empire''s take-off will be just around the corner. If India can be brought down, the empire will be the world''s top power." The eyes of General Fushimi Gong Hiroshi shone with excitement , as if the ind country has really be the world''s top power.
The upper echelons of the ind nation''s navies seem to have great confidence in thebined fleet. It''s just that I really don''t know where their confidencees from. Do they really think that the strength of the German navy is so vulnerable?
"Your Excellency, a telegram from the Combined Fleet!" A staff officer walked in, bowed and handed the telegram to General Minai Mitsumasa.
General Mitsumasa Yonei immediately opened the telegram and started to read it. General Fushimi Miyahiro Kyoko also ignored the etiquette and hurriedly brought his head closer.
However, the content of the telegram made the faces of the two of them change drastically, and even their minds went nk.
"Baga! How could this happen? How could we lose this naval battle?" General Fushimi Gong Hiroshi murmured, as if he couldn''t believe it all.
Minai Mitsumasa''splexion also turned pale. The failure of the Combined Fleet to defeat the German Navy as expected would put the ind nation''s calctions in serious question for years. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the ind country.
"The navy didn''t defeat the Germans, and didn''t gain control of the sea. How could the army be sent to Southeast Asia and Australia? How can this battle continue?" General Minai Mitsumasa said with a painful face.
Obviously, the result of this naval battle is uneptable to the inders.
