"Gentlemen, what do you think of Nanyun-kun's proposal?" General Yamamoto asked.

"Your Excellency, this is a very good idea. If we succeed, we will be constrained much less. This will give us a good chance of defeating the Germans. So, I think we should go for this plan! The commander of the 2nd Carrier Squadron, Vice Admiral Tsunoda Kanji, agreed first.

The commanders of several other capital ship battle teams also agreed. After all, the island people are originally a very gambling people. In their opinion, as long as there is the slightest hope of winning, they dare to gamble with all their might. If you can win the bet, everyone will be happy. If you lose the bet, you will often lose completely. But even so, they still want this madness to gamble everything.

General Yamamoto 56 also nodded, he was also inclined to implement Lieutenant General Nagumo Tadaichi's plan. After all, this is the best thing they can think of at the moment, and if it does succeed, it will be very helpful for them to win the war.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we are not declaring war on Germany at this time. If we were to raid the Mariana Islands, wouldn't that be tantamount to a war with Germany? Said the Chief of Staff of the Combined Fleet, Rear Admiral Iwang Takahashi.

Yamamoto Fifty-six couldn't help but be stunned. Indeed, now the island nation is ready to take action against Germany, but after all, there is no war. Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to sin against the German fleet. Of course, that's for the best. But now, since there was no opportunity to raid the fleet of the German Navy, there was only a raid on the Mariana Islands.

"Go to war, go to war! As long as we can defeat the Germans in this war, it will be the same whether we attack their fleet to detonate this war, or attack the Mariana Islands to detonate this war. General Yamamoto said.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Major General Takahashi Iwang nodded.

The generals of the other Combined Fleets also looked very impressed. The biggest goal of the island nation's navy is to win this naval battle. They don't care at all what tactics are used, and it doesn't matter if they are shameless or not. As long as you can win, nothing else matters.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a great opportunity for us to regain our disadvantage. We are not at war with Germany right now, so we can use this to attack the Mariana Islands. Therefore, we must seize this opportunity. Because we only have one chance. After that, it will be very difficult to attack the Germans again. Therefore, I hope that we can completely destroy the German base on the Mariana Islands in this battle! General Yamamoto said.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander!" Everyone replied.

"Now, I'll assign the task. The 1st Carrier Squadron, which was responsible for Balbotuap, the 2nd Carrier Squadron, which was responsible for attacking Yap Island, the 1st Capital Ship Squadron attacked Guam, the 2nd Capital Fleet attacked Rota, the 3rd Capital Fleet attacked Tinian, and the 4th Capital Fleet attacked Saipan. The carrier squadron attacks at dawn, and the capital ship squadron attacks in the middle of the night! Admiral Yamamoto fifty-six ordered.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander!" The generals all replied.

However, this operation is undoubtedly relatively safe for the main ship fleet of the island country's navy. They would attack at night and then evacuate under the cover of night. The shore-based aircraft of the German Navy could not take off at night, so there was no way to pose a threat to them. And the two fleets of the German Navy are still far from the theater of operations. It is even more impossible to threaten them.

However, the two aircraft carrier squadrons are different, they are going to attack at dawn. When the time comes, as soon as the four airfields in the Mariana Islands are destroyed, the shore-based aircraft of the German Navy will definitely be ready. The German Navy also has a total of more than 200 combat aircraft on the islands of Balbotuap and Yap, which is far less than the aircraft carrier aircraft of the island navy. However, there is a certain gap in the performance of carrier-based aircraft between the two sides, and the navies of the island countries may pay a considerable price because of this.

Vice Admiral Nagumo Tadaichi thought about it and once again made a suggestion to Admiral Yamamoto 56, hoping that the attack of the capital ship fleet would also be placed at dawn. In this case, the bases of the German Navy on the islands of Balbotuap and Yap would not have been prepared in advance.

"In this case, will the capital ship squadron be in danger? If we attack at dawn, the Germans, located at airfields on other islands, will be able to take off warplanes to attack us. General Yamamoto said.

If there was a big risk, he would rather give up on Balbotuap and Yap. After all, before the decisive battle with the two major fleets of the German Navy, the capital ships of the island navy were very valuable, and they had to be ensured to be intact as much as possible.

"Your Excellency, there may be some risk, but it won't be too big. After all, once those airfields in the Mariana Islands are attacked by us, their warplanes will not be able to take off. Fighters on other islands will take time if they want to arrive. In addition, the distance is also endless, almost outside their combat radius. With the right timing, it's entirely possible for us to get rid of them. What's more, the escort warships of our capital ship fleet all have powerful anti-aircraft firepower. If they had given up attacking Balbotuap Island and Yapu Island, the Germans would have been able to continue to search the Philippine Sea with shore-based aircraft on these two islands in the following operations. In this case, our turnaround space will be greatly compressed, which will not be conducive to the next battle. Lieutenant General Nagumo Zhongyi continued.

"Gentlemen, what do you think?" General Yamamoto asked.

"Your Excellency, Commander, you can try it! If the timing is right, there should be no danger. Vice Admiral Zengo Yoshida, commander of the 1st Capital Ship Squadron, said.

Several other commanders of the capital ship squadron also expressed their support.

"Your Excellency, Commander, there is only one chance to sneak up on the Germans, so naturally we must seize this opportunity and give full play to our advantage. In this way, we will have a better chance of winning in the next battle! Lieutenant General Tsunoda Kanji also said.

General Yamamoto 56 nodded: "Okay, let's do it!" Lords, the rise and fall of the empire is in our hands! The Empire will win! ”

"Victory!"
