"Iwamura-kun, how is the construction progress of the 'Yamato-class' battleship?" General Yamamoto asked.
Although, General Yamamoto, after seeing the extremely powerful combat effectiveness of the combination of aircraft carrier and carrier-based aircraft, thought that it was a bit too wasteful to build such an expensive capital ship as the "Yamato-class" battleship. The construction cost of a "Yamato-class" battleship can almost build two or even three aircraft carriers. And the combat strength of a "Yamato-class" battleship obviously cannot be compared with two or even three aircraft carriers.
However, when the capital ships of the Japanese navy suffered heavy losses in naval battles, if the four "Yamato-class" battleships can serve, it will undoubtedly alleviate this dilemma. In this case, at least in battles between capital ships, the navy of the island country will no longer be at a disadvantage. The powerful 460mm main gun of the "Yamato-class" battleship is enough to tear apart all opponents. The thick armor can also withstand the shelling of most battleships very well. This will allow the island nation's navy to regain its advantage in terms of capital ships.
"Your Excellency, the construction progress of the 'Yamato-class' battleships has been accelerated again. It is expected that they will be able to serve before the end of this year. In addition, the construction of the 'Kai Yamato-class' battleships and the 'Super Yamato-class' battleships has also begun. Only However, it will take at least one and a half years before the 'Kai Yamato-class' battleships can enter service. It will take two and a half or even three years for the 'Super Yamato-class' battleships." Lieutenant General Seiichi Iwamura replied.
The "Kai Yamato-class" battleship is equipped with a 460mm main gun with 50 times the caliber, while the "Super Yamato-class" battleship is equipped with a more powerful 510mm main gun. Moreover, the displacement has also been further increased.
It is almost impossible to build these huge warships only by relying on the strength and resources of the island navy itself. However, with the support of the Americans, it will be different. Even the U.S. Navy restarted the construction of new capital ships after learning of the powerful strength of the old ships of the German Navy. They exchanged resources for a full set of design and construction blueprints for the 'Yamato-class' battleships from the island nation's navy. Then make modifications on this to build your own battleship with 460mm main guns. This has never happened in the real history of another time and space.
General Yamamoto Fifty-Six nodded, although he thought in his heart that having four Yamato-class battleships was enough, and other resources should be used to build aircraft carriers. However, there are still a large number of capital ships in the navy of the island country. This made General Yamamoto fifty-six can only watch helplessly as a large amount of resources were used to build huge battleships. What he can do is to fight for more resources for the aircraft carrier.
Fortunately, the external environment of the island nation’s navy in this time and space is much better than that of another time and space. With the generous support of the Americans, many warships that were originally only on the design drawings can be started to be built. This also makes the strength of the island nation's navy will soon grow further. The possibility of them winning this war has also increased a lot because of this.
"Iwamura-kun, what about the aircraft carriers we converted from merchant ships and cruise ships? I hope they can serve within half a year!" General Yamamoto Fifty-Six said.
While the main fleet aircraft carrier of the island navy is still under construction, he has to focus on those modified aircraft carriers. Although the survivability of those modified aircraft carriers is worrying. But if they can all serve in service, at least the strength of the navy of the island country can be greatly improved. In a short period of time, the navy of the island country can have an advantage in the Pacific Ocean.
"Your Excellency, Commander, I will urge the shipyards to work overtime. Within six months, the seven aircraft carriers will be built." Lieutenant General Seiichi Iwamura assured.
Under such circumstances, it is obviously impossible for him to say no. Otherwise, General Yamamoto Fifty-Six will be quite dissatisfied.
"Yo Sai! Iwamura-kun, I will leave the construction of our battleship to you. If the empire can win this battle, you will be indispensable!" General Yamamoto Fifty-Six said.
"Hi, Your Excellency Commander. I will do my best in this humble position!" Lieutenant General Iwamura Seiichi replied.
At this moment, the adjutant of General Yamamoto Fifty-Six ran over in panic. Seeing his appearance, General Yamamoto Fifty-Six could not help but frown. He likes that his subordinates can handle things calmly, but now the adjutant's performance obviously makes him very dissatisfied.
"Your Excellency, the task force's telegram." The adjutant did not notice the expression of General Yamamoto Fifty-Six at all.
Admiral Yamamoto Fifty-Six did not dare to neglect when he heard the news of the task force. He immediately took the telegram and began to read it carefully. After all, the current task force can be said to have gathered all the main forces of the combined fleet. If there is something wrong with the task force, it will cause the combined fleet to suffer heavy losses. And for a long time to come, I am afraid they will not be able to launch a counterattack.
After the Fifty-Sixth General Yamamoto read the telegram, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He never expected that it would be such a bad news!
"Hachi! Nagumo Chuichi and Takasu Shiro, what are they doing! Those bastards, are they going to bury the Imperial Navy?" General Yamamoto Fifty-Six roared angrily.
The admirals of the other island nations all bowed their heads in silence, and no one dared to touch Admiral Yamamoto's brow at this time.
"Prepare the plane and return to Tokyo immediately!" General Yamamoto Fifty-Six ordered.
"Hi, Your Excellency Commander!" The adjutant immediately went to make arrangements.
"Iwamura-kun, I will leave the matter here to you!" General Yamamoto Fifty-Six commanded coldly.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander!" Lieutenant General Iwamura Seiichi nodded heavily.
Although he didn't know what happened, he could guess from General Yamamoto's expression. Obviously, the Japanese navy may have suffered another defeat this time. And the loss is not small. Otherwise, the 56th National Congress of Yamamoto would not be so gaffe.
General Yamamoto Fifty-Six quickly left the Wugang Naval Base with his own people, and returned to Tokyo by plane. The Navy suffered such a disastrous defeat, and it must have been a mess long ago. He needs to rush back to discuss countermeasures with the third chief of the Navy.
As for all the affairs of the new battleship, he can't take care of it for the time being, and can only hand it over to the people below. Of course, in the case of the island nation's navy suffering heavy losses, the construction progress of new warships must be further accelerated.
