In the northeastern waters of the Okinawa Islands, a large fleet is heading south. This fleet is the main force of the combined fleet of the navies of the island countries. In the center, there are aircraft carriers. This time, the eight aircraft carriers of the island country's navy are all gathered here. Admiral Fifty-six Yamamoto, commander of the Combined Fleet, regarded these aircraft carriers as the most important main force.

In addition to these eight aircraft carriers, there are the huge capital ships. 12 battleships, four battlecruisers, these are all accumulated by the island country's navy over the past two decades. Even in the midst of the economic crisis, they tightened their belts to build these capital ships, which allowed them to regain such a powerful fleet.

The flagship of the Combined Fleet was the battleship Kii, a massive battleship with a full load displacement of more than 45,000 tons, armed with five twin 45-caliber 410-mm guns and a maximum speed of 29.75 knots. Before the 'Yamato-class' battleships were put into service, they were the most powerful capital ships of the island navy, and they could be regarded as world-class capital ships.

Admiral Yamamoto stood on the deck of the battleship Kii, and although the oncoming sea breeze was very cold, it kept him awake. I have to admit that leading such a powerful fleet made his whole person feel fluttering. After all, the fleet he led was definitely the most powerful fleet in the history of the island nation. It can even be said that it is the most powerful fleet in the entire Pacific region. If the German Navy's Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet can be defeated in this battle, then the navies of the island countries will be able to dominate the Pacific Ocean and even expand their sphere of influence to the Indian Ocean.

It is precisely because of this that General Yamamoto 56 is under great pressure. It's really this battle that is too important for the island nation. If the island navy has no way to win, then they will be suppressed by Germany on their own soil, let alone invade the South Seas and Australia. Therefore, Admiral Yamamoto's 56th General must not lose this battle, and at least maintain pressure on the German Navy to ensure the safety of sea transportation lines. In this way, the army of the island nation can safely attack the South Seas.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I have just received news that the German Navy's Pacific Fleet has left the Lion City." Rear Admiral Iwang Takahashi, Chief of Staff of the Combined Fleet, reported.

"Humph! The Germans reacted really quickly, and as soon as we set off, they made the corresponding moves, apparently keeping an eye on us. The expression on Admiral Yamamoto's face became serious. The German Navy was already prepared, and if it wanted to defeat the German Navy in one fell swoop by sneak attack, it was almost unlikely, and it could only think of other ways.

"Your Excellency, what are we going to do now?" Major General Takahashi Ibo asked.

"And what about the Indian Ocean fleet of the Germans? Any news? General Yamamoto asked.

With the strength of the navy of the island country, if it were to fight the Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet of the German Navy alone, it would be able to have a crushing advantage. The only fear was that the two fleets of the German Navy would unite and that they would not be sure of victory.

"I got the news two days ago that the Indian Ocean Fleet of the German Navy is still in the waters of the Solomons. Their exact location is not known now. After all, the German Navy built a large number of airfields on those islands in the Pacific Ocean. It's very difficult for us to send ships or planes deep into those waters. Major General Takahashi Iwang said.

In the last world war, all of Germany's colonies in the Pacific fell. However, when Germany defeated the island nation, they had to obediently return those colonies to Germany. Together with the islands seized from Britain and France, almost all of the islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, with the exception of the Philippines and the Hawaiian Islands, fell into the hands of the German Navy. Over the past 20 years, Germany has built a number of airfields and sent troops to defend the islands. The entire central Pacific Ocean is almost like an iron barrel.

"Send a telegram to the country, so that they can collect the news of these two fleets of the Germans as soon as possible." General Yamamoto Fifty-six ordered. Only when he learned of the movements of the two fleets of the German Navy did he make a-for-tat deployment.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!" Major General Takahashi Iwang immediately went to send a telegram.

At the moment, the Combined Fleet is still on its way south. However, if you continue south into the central Pacific Ocean, you may be spotted by German ships or seaplanes operating in these areas. Although the two countries have not declared war on each other now, Yamamoto Isoroku is confident that if the German Navy seizes the opportunity, it will definitely not let go of the opportunity to strike at them. Therefore, he did not want to be exposed early unless he had to.

However, if the two major fleets of the German Navy remained in the South China Sea or the central Pacific Ocean, the Combined Fleet would not be able to destroy them. In this case, the war will inevitably enter a stalemate stage, which will be very unfavorable to the island countries. Should the Germans win another major victory on the Russian battlefield, they would be able to devote more of their forces to the South Seas or other theaters. At that time, if the island nation wants to win, I am afraid it will have to pay a greater price.

"In any case, this naval battle must be decided within half a month! Even if you can't win, you have to get the advantage. In this way, the army can be safely sent to Nanyang to land! General Yamamoto said secretly.

After the telegram from the Combined Fleet of the island nation requesting the search for the two major fleets of the German Navy was sent back to China, the intelligence department of the island navy immediately took action. Many of their merchant and fishing vessels operate in the South China Sea and the central Pacific Ocean. Because the two sides did not go to war, the movement of these merchant and fishing boats was not stopped.

At the same time, the intelligence department of the US Navy has also actively joined in. The United States has the Philippines and the Hawaiian Islands as its backing in the Pacific Ocean, and even though the main force of the US Navy is no longer in the Pacific Ocean, there are still quite a few other reconnaissance forces. Especially now, although the United States is constantly making moves behind its backs, it has not torn its face with Germany on the surface. So, they can take this opportunity to provide intelligence support to the island nations. Germany could hardly grasp them by the hand and could not counter them.

Thanks to the efforts of the island countries and the US intelligence services, the traces of the Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet of the German Navy could not be hidden at all.
