It took a full day for the operational staff officers of the combined fleet of the island nation's navy to perfect this battle plan. When the chief of staff, Major General Takahashi Ibo, handed over the battle plan to General Yamamoto 56, General Yamamoto 56 nodded with satisfaction. He was undoubtedly very satisfied with this battle plan. If all goes well, the odds of success are also great.

The people of the islands have never been afraid to gamble on everything, and they have done so many times in their previous history. And, all of them have been successful. This time, Yamamoto Fifty-six is clearly trying to gamble like his predecessors Ito Yuhiro and Togo Heihachiro. He also hopes to be like his predecessors and win.

The decisive battle between the combined fleet of the navy of the island country and the Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet of the German navy has become a battle that has a bearing on the fate of the island country.

"Very well, this battle plan is complete. You can take a look at it, and if you have any opinions, put them forward now. General Yamamoto said.

The senior generals of the Combined Fleet began to read this battle plan. Even Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo looked at it very seriously. Even if this battle plan was proposed by him, he only came up with an idea. Concrete perfection still depends on the operational staff officers.

It's February 2 and the Combined Fleet is still in the Philippine Sea. After clearing the German Navy's base on the Mariana Islands, the sea area was safe. In particular, the combined fleet of the navy of the island nation can also obtain information from the Americans, which is even more beneficial to them.

After reading the battle plan, the generals put forward suggestions for revision according to their ideas. After careful consideration, General Yamamoto adopted some of them, which made this battle plan even more perfect. The likelihood of success is therefore higher.

"Gentlemen, from now on, implement this battle plan! Amaterasu will bless us. We will definitely be able to defeat the Germans! General Yamamoto said in high spirits. After perfecting this battle plan, he became confident.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander!" Everyone replied. Everyone wanted to defeat the German Navy in this battle, not only for the sake of the country, but also for their own sake. If it fails, the island nation is completely finished. At the same time, they are also very likely to die in the war. But if they can win, not only will the island nation have a bright future, but they will also receive great merit for it. Maybe everyone will be promoted because of this, and this is undoubtedly what they are pursuing.

"Takasu-kun, you lead the 2nd Capital Ship Squadron and leave first. This time, whether you can defeat the German aircraft carrier fleet in one fell swoop is up to you! Admiral Yamamoto fifty-six ordered.

"Hey, Your Excellency Commander, you must do your best!" Vice Admiral Takasu Shiro, commander of the 2nd Capital Ship Squadron, replied. This time, the four Amagi-class battle cruisers of the 2nd Capital Ship Squadron of the Combined Fleet under his command will sail south from the Philippine Sea, from the waters east of the Caroline Islands, to the south of Pohnpei Island. Once the battle began, his task was to locate the aircraft carriers of the German Navy and then destroy them. As long as it succeeds, the Combined Fleet will be able to win this battle.

"Yoshida-kun, Koga-kun, Inoue-kun. The capital ship team you lead will be the main force in the showdown with the main fleet of the Germans. However, you only have 12 battleships, can you defeat the 15 capital ships of the Germans? I know, it's difficult. But I hope you will succeed! General Yamamoto said.

"Your Excellency, the Commander, the inferior rank will definitely defeat the Germans! Although the two fleets of the Germans had a total of 15 capital ships, they would not necessarily act together, and we would most likely encounter only one of their fleets. In this case, we will have an overwhelming advantage to defeat them! Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo said with confidence. He didn't think they would lose at all. Even with 12 battleships against the 15 capital ships of the German Navy, he still thought they had a good chance of winning. After all, their battleships can be regarded as cutting-edge battleships, and the caliber of the main guns is also larger, and it is not impossible to win more with less.

General Yamamoto 56 also nodded, still very confident in his own capital ship fleet. However, soon Admiral Yamamoto 56 and these senior generals of the combined fleet of the island navy will find that the old battleships of the German Navy are not as weak as they imagined. Not only does it have the strength to duel with their so-called cutting-edge capital ships, but it even has an advantage. Of course, it was only then that they understood that it was too late.

"Nagumo-kun, Tsunoda-kun, the mission of the aircraft carrier team is mainly divided into two. One was to cover the retreat of the capital ship fleet, and the other was to send carrier-based aircraft to attack the main fleet or aircraft carrier fleet of the Germans. As soon as the position of the German fleet is discovered, after dawn the carrier-based aircraft will be dispatched to defeat them in one fell swoop! General Yamamoto said.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Lieutenant General Nagumo Tadaichi and Lieutenant General Tsunoda Kanji both replied.

"Gentlemen, this attack is more risky, but if you win, the benefits will be greater. So, this time we have to do everything we can to win. The future of the empire is in our hands. Victory in this battle will make the empire invincible in the Pacific Ocean, capturing large swaths of territory. In the event of defeat, the empire will be completely destroyed. So, we have no other choice. This battle must be won! General Yamamoto said.

"The Empire will win!" The generals all shouted loudly. There was a frenzied expression on everyone's face. They all know very well that this battle will be a battle to bet on the future national fortunes of the island nation. Win, everything is easy to say, and the rise of the island nation will be unstoppable. At least, in a short time they can capture large territories and achieve rapid development. But if it fails, the consequences are very serious. A series of their battle plans will not be implemented. Moreover, the possibility of complete defeat in this world war will become very high. Once Germany defeats the Burussians and the United States and Britain, it will not let them go in the end. When it comes to the island nation, it will be completely sunk.

As soon as Admiral Yamamoto gave the order to start the operation, the Combined Fleet began to prepare. The 2nd Capital Ship Squadron began to turn around and break away from the fleet. The other three capital ship fleets also began to accelerate.
