Iron Germany

"General, the fleet led by General Theodor Burchardi is only more than 100 kilometers away from the island fleet. If we set off to intercept it now, it is expected to encounter it in two hours. In addition, Otto Schnee of the Indian Ocean Fleet The fleet led by General Winter is a little farther away, more than two hundred kilometers away." Lieutenant General Oscar Kumetz replied.

If the traces of the island nation's fleet can be found now, the German Navy can dispatch the main fleet to intercept it. In this case, there is no need to evacuate the fighter planes deployed on Pohnpei Island. Even after dawn, they were able to dispatch fighter planes to attack the combined fleet of the island nation's navies. If all goes well, the German navy can take this opportunity to defeat the combined fleet of the island nation's navy in one fell swoop and win this naval battle.

Admiral Konrad Abbrecht nodded, and the traces of the island nation's navy were exposed, which made his worries dissipate a lot. The initiative of the naval battle seems to have returned to the hands of the German navy. They can calmly make arrangements to defeat the island navy in one fell swoop and win the naval battle.

"Send a telegram to General Theodor Burchardy, asking him to lead the fleet to intercept the German Navy. Also send a telegram to the Indian Ocean Fleet, asking General Otto Schneewendt to lead the fleet to rush for reinforcements. Only our eight I'm afraid it won't be able to completely defeat the main fleet of the island nation's navy." Admiral Konrad Abbrecht ordered.

"Yes, General." Lieutenant General Oscar Kumetz nodded. If the main fleets of the two fleets converge, there will be a total of 15 battleships. It won't be a big problem to defeat the main fleet of the island nation's navy. After all, with the assistance of the gun-sighting radar, the capital ships of the German Navy will take advantage of it when fighting at night.

"In addition, continue to search for traces of the aircraft carrier of the island navy. As I remember, the island navy still has four powerful battlecruisers, right? They may be staying with their aircraft carrier. Find them, and dispatch shore-based aircraft or The carrier-based aircraft launched an attack and eliminated them in one fell swoop. In this case, we will win completely." Admiral Konrad Abbrecht said.

Defeating the main fleet of the island nation's combined naval fleet is only the first step. The real threats are those aircraft carriers. Only by destroying those aircraft carriers can the German Navy win the battle.

"Yes, General, I'll arrange it now!" Lieutenant General Oscar Kumetz replied.

After receiving the order from Admiral Konrad Abbrecht, the German Navy's Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet immediately began to act. The main fleet of the Pacific Fleet, which was closer to the main fleet of the island nation's combined fleet, rushed to intercept it first. Although the main fleet of the Pacific Fleet has only eight capital ships, they are confident in fighting the main fleet of the United Fleet. No matter how bad it is, they can be held back until the main fleet of the Indian Ocean Fleet arrives. At that time, their chances of winning will be even greater.

On the battleship König of the German Navy's Pacific Fleet, Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardir was very excited, perhaps because he drank two cups of espresso in succession, he was not sleepy at all.

Although, the adjutant reminded him that the battle might break out in two hours, and it would be a battle that lasted for several hours. He could take a rest first to refresh himself.

However, under such circumstances, how could Lieutenant General Theodor Burchadi sleep? This is a large-scale duel of battleships! After the rise of aircraft carriers, replacing battleships as the absolute main force of the navy, such battleship duels became very rare. Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardy is naturally overjoyed to have such an opportunity now.

Lieutenant Admiral Theodor Burchardi is a believer in giant ship cannons. Although it has long been proved that the capital ship is replaced by an aircraft carrier, no one can change the fact. However, he still loves this huge and mighty battleship very much. The main gun of the capital ship fired, and the shocking feeling of destroying the world made him even more obsessed with it.

"General, Your Excellency Commander, let us hold the islanders first, and wait until the capital ship of the Indian Ocean Fleet arrives, and then join hands to deal with them." Major General Felix, chief of staff of the battleship formation, said.

Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi shook his head: "No, my chief of staff. I want to try how much damage we can do to the islanders with our eight capital ships. They don't look down on us Are these old capital ships? Then let them see that these old ships that made great achievements in the last world war still have strong combat power in this battle!"

Germany stopped building capital ships and turned to fully develop aircraft carriers. This made other countries that continue to build capital ships continue to ridicule the German navy for relying on old capital ships that have been in service for more than 20 years. This also made the generals of the German Navy feel suffocated all the time. In the current war, it is undoubtedly the best way to vent your anger.

"But, General, would it be risky to do so?" Major General Felix asked. After all, the German Navy wanted to ensure victory in this battle.

"Don't worry, there will be no problem. Didn't we conduct many exercises before? If it was during the day, we might be a little more dangerous. But at night, it's different!" Theodor Bull Lieutenant General Xia Di had a confident smile on his face.

During daytime operations, the line of sight will not be affected. Even if the hit rate of the capital ships of the island navy is not as good as that of the German navy, it will not be too low. But at night it's different. The capital ships of the German Navy can use radar to guide bombardment, keeping the hit rate at a high level. But the battleship shooting of the Japanese navy can only rely on experience and luck. In this comparison, it is natural that the German Navy will take advantage.

Major General Felix thought about it, and this was indeed the case, so he no longer refused.

Time passed little by little, and the distance between the main fleet of the navy of the island country and the battleship formation of the Pacific Fleet of the German Navy was getting closer and closer. The capital ship formation of the Japanese Navy did not know that the enemy had arrived. The battleship formation of the German Navy's Pacific Fleet is already ready for battle.

Just after 10 p.m., the two fleets encountered. The first large-scale battle of battleships in this world war kicked off.
