"Master Hai, how many casualties have we caused to the Germans?" General Fushimi Gong Hiroshi asked. The losses of the Combined Fleet were undoubtedly very staggering. However, if the losses they caused to the German navy were greater than their losses, then they did not seem to be considered a failure in this naval battle.
"We sank two German aircraft carriers and severely damaged two of them. We also sank two of their capital ships and severely damaged two of their capital ships." Admiral Minai Mitsumasa said.
Obviously, the losses of the German Navy are not greater than those of the United Fleet, or even much smaller.
"If you count the hundreds of planes we destroyed at the German airport on the Mariana Islands, our loss is not much greater than that of the Germans." General Fushimi Gong Hiroshi rolled his eyes and said.
General Minai Mitsumasa was stunned for a moment, then nodded, as if he thought that what General Fushimi Gong Hiroshi said was very reasonable.
After all, if the navy of the island country really suffered a crushing defeat in this war, they would not be able to account to the cabinet of the island country and the army of the island country. In the past two decades, the island nation has tightened its belt to support the development of the island nation's navy. For this reason, the army's funds were even reduced, which made the equipment of the island country's army generally lag behind the world's first-class level.
There is only one reason why island countries support the development of the navy so much, and that is to hope that the navy of the island country can win in future naval battles. As an island country, without a strong navy, they simply cannot expand outward. It can be said that the navy of the island country carries the expectations of the entire island country. But now, the navy of the island country has not been able to win. This will undoubtedly disappoint the entire island nation. At that time, the three officers, who are the leaders of the island nation's navy, will undoubtedly have to stand up and take responsibility for this. The islanders have always been very cruel to losers. Therefore, Generals Fushimi Miyahiro Kyou and Minai Mitsumasa must find a way to excuse themselves for the navy and at the same time.
"His Excellency, the United Fleet suffered a great loss this time. However, we still have the strength to continue fighting the Germans. I remember that there are still many aircraft carriers under construction in the shipyard, and they will enter service soon. Even the construction of the 'Yamato-class' battleships has entered the final juncture. As long as these battleships are in service, the strength of the Imperial Navy can be greatly restored. At that time, we will still be able to compete with the Germans for the sea dominance of the Pacific Ocean!" General Fushimi Gong Hiroshi said excitedly.
Admiral Minai Mitsumasa nodded, he knew the construction period of the capital ships of the island navy. After the island nation decided to join the war, it accelerated the construction of those warships.
Four "Yamato-class" battleships, in the case of three shifts, will be able to serve at the beginning of next year. In terms of aircraft carriers, the "Xianghe" aircraft carrier and the "Ruihe" aircraft carrier will also enter service soon. These two aircraft carriers are large aircraft carriers with a displacement of more than 30,000 tons and can carry more than 80 carrier-based aircraft. In addition, there are quite a few modified aircraft carriers that are about to enter service. For example, the aircraft carrier 'Zuifeng', the aircraft carrier 'Shoho', the aircraft carrier 'Ryuho', the aircraft carrier 'Chitose' and the aircraft carrier 'Chiyoda'. Although these aircraft carriers can only carry about 30 carrier-based aircraft, if all five are in service, it will also be an important supplement to the navy of the island country. In addition, the four aircraft carriers of the 1st aircraft carrier team are still intact. The navy of the island country can have 11 aircraft carriers. Stronger than before.
In addition, the construction of the mass-produced aircraft carrier "Yunlong-class" medium-sized aircraft carrier of the Japanese Navy has also started. The first batch of six ships started construction at the same time. In addition, the construction of a large aircraft carrier "Taifeng" has also been half completed. The mass-produced large aircraft carrier, the G14 large aircraft carrier, has also completed its design and is about to start construction. These are the strengths of the island nation's navies that continue to grow. Once these aircraft carriers are in service, the strength of the island nation's navy will become even stronger.
So, the temporary defeat of the United Fleet does not mean anything. As long as the various warships of the island navy can continue to serve, they can continue to challenge the German navy. Finally defeated the German Navy in one fell swoop.
Although the German navy is very powerful, it showed extremely powerful combat power in this battle. However, the German Navy also had many enemies. Their main force had to stay in the Atlantic and confront the United States. In this case, the power that the German Navy can devote to the Pacific Ocean is relatively limited. Therefore, it is not impossible for the island navy to win the final victory.
The only headache is probably the loss of carrier aircraft and pilots. The carrier-based aircraft is okay, and with the industrial strength of the island country, it can be replenished soon. However, it is very difficult to supplement the pilots. General Minai Mitsumasa has decided that the training of pilots must be increased in the future. It cannot be that there are both aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, but there are not enough pilots to fly carrier-based aircraft. In that case, it will be a very big obstacle to the improvement of the strength of the island nation's navy.
"His Royal Highness, you are right. The United Fleet is only a temporary defeat. This war has just begun, and we still have a chance to defeat the Germans!" Admiral Minai Mitsumasa said.
"His Excellency, the Imperial Navy will definitely be able to defeat the Germans in this naval battle. The final victory must belong to us. However, we may face criticism from the prime minister and the army." Fushimi Palace General Bo Gongwang frowned and said.
You don't need to think about it, but the army will be very angry when they hear the news of the joint fleet's fiasco. After all, in order to support the development of the navy, they have been willing to give up resources to the navy over the years. The current performance of the Navy undoubtedly failed their efforts over the years.
The face of General Mitsumasa Minet also became serious: "His Royal Highness, Your Excellency the Prime Minister and the Army, I will try to persuade them. However, besides supporting us with all their strength, do they have any other way? If the Navy If they cannot gain control of the sea, then the army will never be able to land in Southeast Asia and Australia. Therefore, they have no choice but to continue to support us. I will ask the Prime Minister to give us more resources. Our strength will soon It will become even stronger. At that time, the Germans will definitely be defeated!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
