Jagged Germany

Chapter 1247: Bet on the luck of the country (ask for a monthly ticket)

?? It took a full day for the combat staff of the combined fleet of the island nation's navy to perfect the combat plan. When the chief of staff, Major General Takahashi Ino, handed over the battle plan to General Yamamoto Fifty-Six, General Yamamoto nodded in satisfaction. He is undoubtedly very satisfied with this battle plan. If all goes well, the odds of success are high.

??The Islanders have never been afraid to risk everything to gamble, and they have done so many times in previous history. And, all were successful. This time, General Yamamoto Fifty-Six obviously wanted to take a desperate gamble like his predecessors Yuto Ito and Heihachiro Togo. He also hopes to be able to win like his predecessors.

?? This decisive battle between the combined fleet of the island nation's navy and the German Navy's Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet seems to have become a battle that concerns the fate of the island nation.

?? "Very well, this battle plan has been completed. You can take a look, and if you have any comments, please raise them now." General Yamamoto Fifty-Six said.

??The senior generals of the United Fleet all began to read this battle plan. Even Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo looked very seriously. Even though this battle plan was proposed by him, he just proposed an idea. The specific improvement still depends on the combat staff.

??It is now February 2, and the combined fleet is still in the Philippine Sea. After clearing the bases of the German Navy on the Mariana Islands, this piece of sea is still very safe. In particular, the joint fleet of the island nation's navy can also obtain information from the Americans, which is even more beneficial to them.

??After reading the battle plan, a group of generals put forward suggestions for revision according to their ideas. After careful consideration, General Yamamoto adopted some of them, making this combat plan more complete. The probability of success is also higher because of this.

?? "Masters, from now on, implement this battle plan! God Amaterasu will bless us. We will definitely defeat the Germans!" General Yamamoto Fifty-Six said vigorously. After perfecting this battle plan, he became full of confidence.

?? "Hi, Your Excellency Commander!" Everyone replied. Everyone hopes to defeat the German navy in this battle, not only for the country, but also for themselves. If it fails, the island nation will be completely over. At the same time, they are also very likely to die in the war. But if they can win, not only will the island nation have a bright future, but they will also gain great merit for it. Maybe everyone will be promoted because of this, which is undoubtedly the goal they are pursuing.

?? "Takasu-kun, you lead the 2nd Battleship Squadron and leave first. This time, whether you can defeat the German aircraft carrier fleet in one fell swoop depends on you!" Admiral Yamamoto Fifty-Six ordered.

?? "Hey, Your Excellency, Commander, I will do my best in this humble position!" Lieutenant Admiral Takasu Shiro, commander of the 2nd Battleship Squadron, replied. This time, the four "Amagi-class" battlecruisers of the 2nd Battlecruiser Squadron of the United Fleet led by him will sail south from the Philippine Sea, from the waters east of the Caroline Islands, to the south of Ponapei Island. Once the battle started, his mission was to find the German Navy's aircraft carrier and destroy it. As long as it succeeds, the United Fleet will be able to establish a victory in this battle.

"Yoshida-kun, Koga-kun, and Inoue-kun. The battleships you lead will become the main force in the battle against the Germans' main fleet. However, you only have 12 battleships. Can you defeat the Germans' 15 battleships? I know it is difficult. But I hope you will be successful!" General Yamamoto Fifty-Six said.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I will definitely defeat the Germans! Although the two fleets of the Germans have a total of 15 capital ships, they may not act together. We may only encounter one of their fleets. In this way If so, we will have an overwhelming advantage to defeat them!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo said confidently. He didn't think they would lose at all. Even if 12 battleships confronted the 15 capital ships of the German Navy, he still believed that they had a good chance of winning. After all, their battleships can be regarded as cutting-edge battleships, and the caliber of the main guns is also larger. It is not impossible to win more with less.

??Admiral Yamamoto Fifty-Six also nodded, he was still very confident about his capital ship team. However, General Yamamoto Fifty-Six and the senior generals of the island nation's combined fleet will soon discover that the old battleships of the German Navy are not as weak as they thought. Not only does it fully possess the strength to confront their so-called cutting-edge battleships, it even has an advantage. Of course, at that time they realized that it was too late.

"Mr. Nanyun, Mr. Kakuda, the task of the aircraft carrier team is mainly divided into two. One is to cover the retreat of the capital ship team, and the other is to dispatch carrier-based aircraft to attack the German main fleet or aircraft carrier fleet. As long as the German fleet is found After dawn, dispatch carrier-based aircraft to defeat them in one fell swoop!" General Yamamoto Fifty-Six said.

?? "Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Lieutenant General Chuichi Nagumo and Lieutenant General Koji Kakuda both replied.

"My lords, the risk of this attack is greater, but if we win, the benefits will be greater. Therefore, this time we must do our best to win. The future of the empire is in our hands. This If the battle is won, the empire will be invincible in the Pacific Ocean and occupy a large area of ??territory. If it fails, the empire will be completely destroyed. Therefore, we have no other choice. This battle must be won!" General Yamamoto Fifty-Six said.

?? "The empire will win!" All the generals shouted loudly. There was a frenzied expression on everyone's face. They all know that this battle will be a gamble on the future of the island nation. If you win, everything is easy to say, and the rise of the island nation will be unstoppable. At least, in a short period of time, they can capture a large area of ??territory and achieve rapid development. But if it fails, the consequences will be very serious. A series of their combat plans will not be implemented. Moreover, the possibility of complete defeat in this world war will become very high. Once Germany defeats Bu Russia and the United States and Britain, they will definitely not let them go in the end. Waiting for the island country will be completely sunk.

??After Admiral Yamamoto Fifty-Six issued the order to start the operation, the combined fleet immediately began preparations. The second capital ship battle group began to turn and break away from the fleet. The other three battleship teams also began to speed up.
