"Order four 'Kii-class' battleships, sail at maximum speed, and intercept the Germans! Let the Tosa keep up with us as much as possible. The rest of the Michinoku and the two Ise-class battleships were also raised to their maximum speed and joined the battle as much as possible. In addition, the two 'Fuso-class' battleships that lagged behind also rushed to participate in the battle as soon as possible! "Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo gave the order.

With the situation seriously unfavorable to the island fleet, Vice Admiral Yoshida Zengo finally made his choice. He had no other way, and if he didn't take the risk, he would have to watch his ships be destroyed by the German fleet one after another at a long distance. When the main fleet of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the German Navy arrived, they were even more dead. Therefore, Vice Admiral Yoshida Zengo could only choose to take a risk, and if he was lucky, win to inflict heavy damage on the German Navy, or even defeat it, and reverse the unfavorable situation.

"Yes, General!" Fukuru Shigeru replied.

He also knew that now the island fleet had reached a critical juncture, and when there was no other way to choose, he could only fight hard. If it succeeds, the situation will be changed as a result. But if they fail, then they will probably have to retreat immediately. Otherwise, they will pay a greater price for it.

"I hope Apayasu will bless us and defeat the Germans in one fell swoop!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo prayed secretly in his heart.

On the other side, on the battleship King, the flagship of the German fleet, the atmosphere was relatively less tense. Although, in the previous battle, the battleship 'King' was also hit three times. 3 Every 410 mm shell, the hull of the battleship 'King' suffered a certain amount of damage. However, several of the most core areas were not injured. As a result, the combat effectiveness of the battleship "King" was not affected in any way. With the battleship 'Kaga' being heavily damaged and withdrawing from the battle, the situation on the battlefield became more and more favorable to the German fleet.

Theodore? There was a hint of a smile on Lieutenant General Burchadi's face. After sinking one and damaging an enemy ship, the situation on the battlefield has become eight to eight. Next, as long as the German fleet can continue to suppress, the possibility of winning this naval battle will be very high.

"General, a telegram has been sent to the flagship. Your Excellency the Commander will send a submarine force to search for it. It would be great if the capital ship of the battered island nation fleet could be found and destroyed. Major General Felix said.

"Luck see! In the vast ocean, it is not so easy to find a battleship. "Theodore? Lieutenant General Burchardi said.

Although it was only the battleship 'Kaga' that was heavily damaged, it was not able to sink it, which made Theodor ? Lieutenant General Burchadi felt some regret. However, it is good to be able to have such an effect. After all, they have taken a big advantage relative to the fleet of island nations. The island fleets have been fighting for so long, and they have not achieved any results, but the losses are getting bigger and bigger, and they are the most aggrieved.

"General, the radar has found that the island nation fleet is accelerating!" A staff officer reported.

Theodore? Lieutenant General Bourchardi and Major General Felix hurriedly picked up the binoculars.

I saw that the speed of the island nation's fleet in the distance began to increase. Although it is too far away, it is not clear to see. However, it can be seen that the speed of the island nation's fleet is indeed constantly improving. Because when the cannon is fired, the fire from the muzzle will shine out the hull.

"The islanders are trying to fight hard." Theodore? Lieutenant General Burchardi said.

"According to the information we have received, the islanders' Kii-class battleships are capable of reaching a maximum speed of 29.5 knots. Our 'King-class' battleships are simply not comparable to them. Major General Felix said.

"Humph! So what can it be? Let them catch up. Pay attention to the steering, and don't let them preempt the T-prefix. When their four Kii-class battleships catch up, we can also concentrate our firepower on them. With eight against four, we still have an advantage. "Theodore? Lieutenant General Burchardi said.

He did not pose any threat to this change in the fleet of the island nation. He was convinced that although both the King-class battleships and the D-Fringel-class battleships had been in service for many years, they were not at all weak, or even stronger, in terms of defense, except that they were inferior in firepower and speed to the Kii-class battleships. With a double advantage, it will definitely be able to defeat the four 'Kii-class' battleships of the island fleet. Of course, in the next battle, the German fleet will probably pay some losses. There is no way to do this, and in the battle, there will definitely be casualties. It would have been very difficult to defeat the enemy with zero casualties.

Major General Felix nodded, he also knew that the real big war was coming. The islanders went crazy and desperate, but the German fleet still had a great advantage. Therefore, they have a good chance of winning, and they do not need to be afraid of the island fleet.

"Ask the Indian Ocean Fleet battleship formations how long it will take for them to arrive. Whether they can defeat the island fleet in one fell swoop, or how many results they can achieve, depends on them. "Theodore? Lieutenant General Bourchardi ordered.

"Yes, General." Major General Felix replied.

If they inflict further heavy losses on the island fleet, the island fleet will definitely retreat. At that time, it will be necessary to rely on the Indian Ocean Fleet to make a detour in advance to intercept it. Otherwise, with the speed advantage of the island fleet, it will undoubtedly be very difficult to kill them all.

The speed of the four 'Kii-class' battleships, getting faster and faster, soon increased to 29 knots. Such a speed was already far higher than that of the German fleet. The distance between the two sides is also getting closer.

"Aim at the flagships of the Germans and concentrate your firepower to finish them off!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo gave the order with a serious face.

Four Kii-class battleships, armed with forty 410-mm guns, opened heavy fire on the battleship "King".

At the same time, five 'King-class' battleships and three 'D-Fringel-class' battlecruisers of the German fleet were also concentrating their fire on the battleship 'Kii', and 72 380-mm guns opened fire fiercely, and for a time bullets rained down.

The German fleet and the island fleet have entered into a hand-to-hand encounter.
