MTL - Jagged Germany-Chapter 1768 Go north to meet the enemy

  The fleet of the navy of the island country is very large. There are 8 battleships and 21 aircraft carriers of various types just as the main battleships.

   Among them, the "Taiho" aircraft carrier, two "Xianghe-class" aircraft carriers and the "Ryuho" light aircraft carrier formed the first aircraft carrier team. Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi served as the commander, and Major General Ko Liu Yipachi served as the chief of staff.

  Four of the "Unryu-class" aircraft carriers form the second aircraft carrier team, with Lieutenant General Ito Seiichi as the commander and Major General Morishita Nobuo as the chief of staff.

   Two of the 'Unryu-class' aircraft carriers and two 'Xiangfeng-class' light aircraft carriers form the third aircraft carrier team, with Lieutenant General Ozawa Jisaburo as the commander and Major General Obayashi Moxiong as the chief of staff.

  Two Chitose-class aircraft carriers and two Flying Eagle-class aircraft carriers form the 4th Aircraft Carrier Squadron, with the former Lieutenant General Chuichi serving as the commander and Major General Michio Sumikawa serving as the chief of staff.

  Three "Daying-class" aircraft carriers, the "Shenying" aircraft carrier and the "Haiying" aircraft carrier form the 5th aircraft carrier battle group, with Lieutenant Admiral Shima Seiying as the commander and Major General Matsumoto Takeshi as the chief of staff.

  Four "Yamato-class" battleships form the 1st Battleship Squadron, with Lieutenant Admiral Daigo Tadashige as commander and Rear Admiral Sasaki Hankyu as chief of staff.

The battleship Kaga, the battleship Mutsu, the battleship Yamashiro, and the battlecruiser Takao formed the second battleship squadron, with Lieutenant Admiral Omori Sendaro as the commander and Major General Fujiwara Kiyoma as the chief of staff .

  The five aircraft carrier battleships and two capital ship battleships that make up the combined fleet of the island nation’s navy, in addition to these aircraft carriers and battleships, also include a large number of cruisers and destroyers.

  When the German Navy was frantically building battleships and aircraft carriers, the construction of cruisers and destroyers did not give up. A large number of new cruisers and destroyers were built, named after the cruisers and destroyers that were sunk before, and re-entered the navy of the island country.

  Of course, if these warships of the combined fleet of the island nation's navy are sunk again this time. Perhaps, the navy of the island country will never have the opportunity to rebuild them again. Germany will not give the island country another chance.

   "Commander, this battle is always risky!" Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi sighed.

General Yamamoto Fifty-Six nodded: "There is no way. The Germans are pressing us step by step. We have been cornered and there is no way to retreat. Now, we can only fight back. Even if the chances of winning are slim, we must do our best. In this case, there may be a glimmer of hope. Of course, if we lose, the Imperial Navy will be finished, and the Empire will also be finished!"

   "Your Excellency, Commander, has it really reached this point?" Lieutenant General Chuichi Nagumo asked.

"Yes, it has reached the last juncture. Now the empire is facing life and death. The Germans will not let us go. Unless they can withstand the German attack, otherwise, the empire will be defeated like the Americans. The Germans will perish." General Yamamoto Fifty-Six said.

   "In order to prevent the empire from being destroyed by the Germans, we have no choice but to do our best to defeat the Germans. Only by defeating the Germans will the empire have a future." General Yamamoto's eyes were full of determination.

"Mr. Nagumo, make arrangements to launch an attack on the Caroline Islands tomorrow. Destroy the German bases on the islands. In the meantime, tell them we are here. We are waiting for them in the Caroline Islands. I believe that the Germans People will definitely come." General Yamamoto Fifty-Six said.

  He knew that if the navy of the island country crossed the Bismarck Islands and went south, it would die very ugly. Germany has strengthened its defenses against Australia and the Bismarck Islands. The main force of the German navy is also eyeing somewhere. If you attack rashly, you will be courting death. Only in the waters near the Caroline Islands, where Germany is relatively weak, or even in the Philippine Sea, the navy of the island country has a chance of winning.

   "Hi, Your Excellency, Commander, I will arrange it immediately!" Lieutenant General Chuichi Nagumo replied.

   On the afternoon of July 29, the joint fleet of the island nation's navy dispatched a large number of carrier-based aircraft to attack the German Navy's military base on the Caroline Islands. Under the violent bombing of a large number of carrier-based aircraft of the island navy, all the bases of the German navy were lost. And this also attracted the attention of the German Navy.

  North of the Coral Sea, south of the Bismarck Sea. The German Navy's Atlantic Fleet, Pacific Fleet aircraft carrier formation, Indian Ocean Fleet aircraft carrier formation, and the fire support fleet directly under the Ministry of the Navy have all gathered in this sea area.

  Atlantic Fleet Commander Rolf Karls Marshal is temporarily in charge of commanding this huge fleet. Because of Marshal Rolf Karls' performance on the Atlantic battlefield, he won such an opportunity. Of course, Marshal Rolf Karls also cherished such an opportunity very much. He hopes to lead the fleet to greater glory.

"Marshal, it has been confirmed that the main force of the island nation's navy is operating even in the waters east of the Philippines. The carrier-based aircraft fleet they dispatched to attack the Caroline Islands is very large, with more than 500 combat aircraft." Atlantic Fleet Staff Officer Lieutenant General George Friedberg said.

   "Very well, it seems that the army's offensive has put the islanders under tremendous pressure. Therefore, their navy can't help but jump out." Marshal Rolf Karls laughed.

   "Marshal, do you mean that the islanders did this on purpose?" Lieutenant General George Friedberg asked.

Marshal Rolf Kars nodded: "Well. The islanders know very well that if they want to defeat us, the eastern part of the Philippine Islands is a very good battlefield. They will not go south, only us go north. If this is the case, Then I'll give them a chance."

   "Your Excellency, what if there is any trap in this?" Lieutenant General George Friedberg was a little worried.

   "Don't worry, in the face of absolute strength and superiority, all conspiracies and tricks will be useless." Marshal Rolf Karls seemed very confident.

   Indeed, after the German Navy defeated the U.S. Navy, no navy could confront the German Navy. Although the navy of the island country is very strong, in the eyes of the German navy, it is still nothing more than a clown.

  Although the German Navy only assembled three fleets in the Pacific Ocean. But the overall strength is still far superior to the navy of the island country. It is almost impossible for the island navy to defeat the German navy.

   On the afternoon of July 29, the main force of the German navy headed northward from the northern part of the Coral Sea to the waters near the Caroline Islands to face the combined fleet of the island nation's navies.
