"Everyone, the main force of the island nation's navy has appeared. Our military base in the Caroline Islands was destroyed by the island nation. It seems that the army's fierce attack has scared the island nation people. The island nation's navy jumped out at this time, nothing more than wanting to We want to restore the situation in Nanyang. Then, we should seize this opportunity and kill the navy of the island country in one fell swoop! It can be regarded as clearing the way for the attack on the mainland of the island country." Marshal Rolf Karls said.

The generals of the German navy who attended the meeting were all smiling.

There are two main tasks for the German Navy in this battle. One is to assist the army to eliminate the army entrenched in the Nanyang island country. The other is to get rid of the navy of the island country and prepare for the attack on the mainland of the island country.

Supporting army operations can be accomplished by the battleship formations of the Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet. The aircraft carrier formations of the Atlantic Fleet, Pacific Fleet, and Indian Ocean Fleet are targeting the navies of island countries. Now that the navy of the island country is taking the initiative to show up, this undoubtedly gives them a chance.

"Your Excellency Marshal, the current strength of the island nation's navy is not weak. Eight capital ships and 21 aircraft carriers are definitely the most powerful navy in the world after the Imperial Navy." Pacific Fleet Aircraft Carrier Formation Commander William Carter Lieutenant General Naris said.

Marshal Rolf Kars nodded: "The navy of the island country is very strong, but the imperial navy has even greater advantages. I believe that the imperial navy will definitely be able to win this battle."

The other generals also nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Marshal Rolf Karls' point of view.

Subsequently, the generals of the German Navy discussed the battle plan. The fleets will operate separately. The Atlantic Fleet will go northward from the eastern Solomon Sea, while the Pacific Fleet aircraft carrier formation, the Indian Ocean Fleet aircraft carrier formation and the fire support fleet will go northward from the western Solomon Sea and eastern Bismarck Islands. At the same time, in order to search for traces of the island nation's navy, the German Navy's base on the Bismarck Islands launched a large number of reconnaissance planes to search the entire northern waters of the Bismarck Islands.

For the German navy, it is not very difficult to defeat the island navy. The difficulty is to find the navy of the island nation in this vast ocean. In the era without satellite positioning, if the other party's fleet has been keeping radio silent, if you want to find the other party, it will undoubtedly be a needle in a haystack.

In the waters near the Caroline Islands, the joint fleet of the island nation's navies is cruising in this sea area. In order to avoid being attacked by the German Navy, the fleet's air search radar has been turned on. At the same time, there are dozens of Zero fighters hovering above the fleet.

Although after receiving technical support from the United States, the navy of the island country can also manufacture F4U fighter jets. This fighter is undoubtedly stronger than the Zero fighter. But the island navy did not give up the Zero fighter in the end. The Zero fighter's large range and low-altitude combat performance are undoubtedly very powerful. In comparison, F4U fighters are far behind in this respect. The island navy still regards the Zero fighter as their pride. It's just that the Zero fighter is completely behind compared to the German Navy's carrier-based FW-190 fighter. Of course, in terms of range and low-altitude combat, the carrier-based FW-190 fighter is not an opponent of the Zero fighter. However, after the German Navy knew the performance of the Zero fighter, it would no longer engage in dogfights with the Zero fighter.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we have been in this sea area for two days, and we have shot down more than five German reconnaissance planes. Now, more and more German reconnaissance planes are searching in this direction. If we don't leave, our The location will be exposed. At that time, we will be in danger." said Rear Admiral Yano Shikazo, Chief of Staff of the United Fleet.

Admiral Yamamoto Fifty-Six nodded: "calculating the time, the Germans should have entered this sea area. Order the fleet to go north and leave immediately. Let our reconnaissance plane focus on searching the southern waters of the Caroline Islands and take the first step Find the Germans!"

"Hi, Your Excellency Commander." Major General Yano Shikazo replied.

Subsequently, the joint fleet of the island nation's navies began to change course, and the entire fleet began to be evacuated.

At the same time, from those cruisers of the combined fleet, a seaplane took off. These seaplanes will be responsible for searching this sea area and finding out the German navy.

Fighting on the sea, if you can find the enemy's traces first, you can launch an attack first. In this case, the possibility of taking advantage will be greater.

It's just that the German navy and the island navy are both making efforts in this regard. But whoever can find the opponent first and launch an attack depends on luck. After all, the combination of carrier-based aircraft and aircraft carriers has expanded the distance of naval battles to hundreds of kilometers. However, subject to the range of carrier-based bombers and torpedo attack aircraft, generally speaking, the engagement distance is about 500 kilometers.

Although the zero fighter jets of the island navy have a range of up to 2,000 kilometers. However, the range of the Ninety-Nine Ship Explosion and the Nine Seventh Ship Attack is much smaller than that of the Zero fighter. This also greatly limits the attack distance of the island navy.

"The Germans have already taken the bait. It depends on whether they can seize this opportunity and defeat them in one fell swoop. If they can defeat the German navy, then they can turn the tide of the war." General Yamamoto Fifty-Six secretly thought.

General Yamamoto Fifty-Six knows that this time the battle between the navies of the two countries will be a final battle. If the island navy could win, they might be able to force Germany into a decent peace. No matter how bad it is, it can ensure the continued existence of the island country. If it fails, it's all over. Therefore, General Yamamoto Fifty-Six told himself that he must do his best to win this war.

On the afternoon of August 1, a submarine of the German Navy discovered the joint fleet of the island nation's navy in the waters 200 kilometers north of Palau.

After the combined fleet left this sea area, the submarine of the German Navy immediately surfaced and sent a telegram.

After the German Navy received this telegram, Marshal Rolf Karls immediately ordered the Atlantic Fleet to speed up the pursuit.

At this moment, their position is more than a thousand kilometers away from the position of the United Fleet, far outside the combat radius of the carrier-based aircraft. Only when the distance is further shortened can they launch an attack.

At the same time, the German Navy's Pacific Fleet aircraft carrier formation, Atlantic Fleet aircraft carrier formation and fire support fleet also issued an order to accelerate the pursuit.

The two fleets of the German Navy are about 200 kilometers apart, chasing the combined fleet from east to west.
