Iron Germany

In the conference room of the battleship 'Ki', all the high-level executives of the United Fleet were frowning, trying to figure out how to solve the current difficult situation. If it cannot be resolved, it may not be so easy for them to win this war.

The bases built by the German Navy on these islands in the Pacific Ocean are like chains of chains. Once they break in, they will strangle the necks of the United Fleet and eventually strangle them alive.

"Your Excellency, Commander, there is a way, maybe you can try it!" Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi said.

"Oh? What way?" General Yamamoto Fifty-Six asked.

The other generals also looked at Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi. If they can solve the problems they face, then they may be able to gain an advantage in this battle. It's even possible to win! The importance of this war to the island nation is self-evident. They can no longer afford to lose. Once they fail, the island nation will have no future.

"Your Excellency, the bases built by the German Navy in the Pacific Ocean are indeed a big trouble. Especially when the two major fleets of the German Navy are eyeing each other. These naval bases cooperate with their fleets, and their strength will increase. Much stronger than us. If we can destroy those naval bases before the decisive battle with their fleet, we at least have enough strength to fight the German navy. Moreover, our chances of winning will not be too low In that case, even if the two major fleets of the German Navy converge, we will still be able to fight!" Lieutenant Admiral Nagumo Chuichi said.

General Yamamoto Fifty-Six nodded. It would be best if the base of the German Navy could be destroyed first. However, everyone knows this, but it is not so easy to do it.

"Your Excellency, the naval bases of the German Navy have shore-based aircraft. Once our fleet approaches, we will definitely be attacked by them. However, we can send the fleet to attack at night. In this case, their fighter planes will not Then we can’t take off. And our capital ships can take the opportunity to bombard their bases. Relying on the main guns of the battleships, it only takes one or two hours to destroy those airports! Even, we can still Dispatch carrier-based planes to bomb the German airport at dawn. As long as their planes can be blown up on the airport, they will be no danger to us!" Lieutenant General Chuichi Nagumo continued.

General Yamamoto's fifty-six eyes suddenly brightened, this is undoubtedly a very good way. The United Fleet has a full 16 capital ships, and the firepower of these capital ships is very powerful. Once a raid is launched on the base of the German Navy at night, the German Navy simply has no power to resist it. After all, although the German Navy's Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet have many capital ships. But it's all too far away. In addition, Admiral Yamamoto Fifty-Six also has great confidence in the capital ships of the island navy. After all, their capital ships are all newly built and in service, unlike the capital ships of the German Navy, which are old warships that have been in service for more than 20 years. From a performance point of view, the capital ships of the Japanese navy should be able to take advantage. Even if it is a decisive battle of capital ships, the navy of the island country has a high probability of winning.

Of course, this is just General Yamamoto's own guess. The capital ships of the German Navy are indeed old. However, before the outbreak of the war, these capital ships were all modernized and refitted. Although the hull is old, many of the core equipment inside have been replaced. The power system uses the most advanced steam turbines and boilers, and the main gun is also the most advanced main gun. Coupled with advanced equipment such as fire control radar and gun sight radar, the capital ships of the German Navy have almost undergone a complete change.

What's more, these capital ships of the Japanese navy are equipped with 410mm main guns with a caliber of up to 45 times. The capital ships of the German Navy's Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet are equipped with 380mm main guns with 50 times the caliber. Although the caliber is a little smaller, the ratio of diameter to diameter is larger, and the armor-piercing performance is also stronger. If there is a fight, the main guns of the island navy will not take advantage of it. The naval guns of the German Navy have always been powerful. This is why the German Navy has not built a capital ship for so many years, but still has the confidence to confront the navies of other countries.

"The Germans are in the Mariana Islands. There are four airports in Guam, Rota, Tinian, and Saipan. We have four battleships. If we approach these islands at night at high speed, Then shelling the airports on the island can definitely destroy these airports in one fell swoop. After completing the task and fleeing quickly, the Germans will have nothing to do with us. At that time, we can use such tactics to destroy the Germans in one fell swoop. Destroy those bases in the Pacific Ocean. Even if not all of their bases can be eliminated, at least most of them can be eliminated. In this way, when we have a decisive battle with the German fleet, we don’t have to be afraid of being attacked by them Our shore-based aircraft are attacking!" said General Yamamoto Fifty-Six.

"The Germans have deployed more than 500 combat aircraft at the four airports in the Mariana Islands. If these airports are eliminated, it will be enough to cause heavy losses to the Germans!" Lieutenant General Chuichi Nagumo also said.

"However, Commander, when the capital fleet is attacking the Mariana Islands, the aircraft carrier battle can also attack Yap Island and Balbotuap Island. If the German naval bases on these two islands can be eliminated If so, we can open up a safe sea area of ​​millions of square kilometers east of the Philippine Islands. We can even wait for work in this sea area and wait for the Germans to come to our door. In this case, there is still a great possibility defeated the Germans." Lieutenant General Chuichi Nagumo continued.

General Yamamoto nodded again and again. If the raid plan is successful, the entire Philippine Sea and even the waters to the east will be safe. In addition, the Americans are also on their side, and they can use the United States to search for traces of the German fleet. This made it easier for them to spot the German fleet. At that time, their chances of winning will further increase.

"If it succeeds, then the possibility of our victory in this battle will be much greater. This is our only chance to win at present, we must seize it!" General Yamamoto Fifty-Six secretly thought.
