The German Navy sent an expeditionary fleet to the Far East to attack the island countries, and the island countries were naturally the most concerned about this matter. Although they had already anticipated when they sent troops to attack the colonies in Southeast Asia, Germany would never give up. However, after learning that Germany had sent an expeditionary fleet, there was still a bit of a drum in my heart. The strength of the island country's navy is too weak, and in front of the expeditionary fleet of the German navy, they can't resist it at all!

When the German Naval Expeditionary Fleet entered the Mediterranean through the Strait of Gibraltar, all the British Navy's warships in the Mediterranean fled into port. At the same time, all the shore defense guns of the fortress of Gibraltar were already in a state of emergency combat readiness, for fear that the German naval expeditionary fleet would take this opportunity to launch an attack on Gibraltar.

Fortunately, the German naval expeditionary fleet was simply wasting time in Gibraltar, which relieved the defenders of the fortress of Gibraltar. Although the strategic location of the Gibraltar Fortress was very important, the German* military believed that the Gibraltar Fortress would be easy to take as long as the British mainland was taken. Now the task of the expeditionary fleet is to carry out an attack on the island nation, and there is absolutely no need to waste time in Gibraltar.

The news of the German navy's entry into the Mediterranean through the Strait of Gibraltar was also informed to the islanders by the British through secret channels. Although, the island nation abolished the alliance treaty, reneged on the alliance between the two countries, and even brazenly sent troops to attack the British colonies in Southeast Asia. This leaves the two countries effectively already at war. However, the British, as if they had completely forgotten this, selflessly informed the islanders of the information of the German Navy's expeditionary fleet. Their purpose in doing this is nothing more than to use the islanders to weaken the strength of the Germans, and no matter how bad it is, they will let the islanders drag down part of the Germans' troops. In this case, the pressure on the British mainland will be less.

After passing through the Mediterranean, the German naval expeditionary force was about to enter the Suez Canal. The current canal is still under the control of the British. However, in the face of the huge German naval expeditionary fleet, the British* troops stationed in Egypt did not dare to confront it at all. They were also afraid that the expeditionary fleet of the German Navy would launch an attack on Egypt.

When the mainland was about to be attacked, Britain had already repatriated all the forces distributed around the world. There were not many troops stationed in Egypt. If the German naval expeditionary fleet does not come to their trouble, they will have to thank God forbid. If you take the initiative to trouble the Germans, isn't that self-defeating?

The British, the Americans, and even the French were constantly informing the islanders of the news about the German Navy's expeditionary fleet, so that the German Navy's expeditionary fleet had just entered the Indian Ocean, and the islanders had fully understood the relevant news of the German Navy's expeditionary fleet.

July 15, Tokyo, the capital of the island nation, Admiralty. Admiral Rokuro Yashiro, Minister of the Navy, Admiral Suio Shimamura, Minister of Naval Command, and Admiral Goro Ijiin, Commander of the Combined Fleet, gathered in the office of Admiral Rokuro Yashiro. The three of them are the three commanders of the island country's navy, and they can be regarded as the leaders of the navy on the surface.

In fact, Gonbei Yamamoto, the father of the navy, and Marshal Heihachiro Togo, who commanded the island navy to win the Battle of Tsushima, were the soul of the island navy.

"The information synthesized from the British, the Americans and the French has already determined the information of the expeditionary fleet of the German Navy. The German Naval Expeditionary Fleet consisted of nine battle cruisers, 10 light cruisers and 27 destroyers, as well as a number of transports. I have to admit that their strength is very strong. Just casually sending a fleet, dominated by battle cruisers, is much stronger than our entire navy. General Rokuro Yashiro said.

"Yes! Of the nine German battlecruisers, three of the 'Mackensen-class' battlecruisers were hailed as the most powerful in the world, armed with three triple 50-caliber 380-mm guns, and three 'D-Vorlinger-class' battlecruisers were also armed with three triple-mounted 50-caliber 380-mm guns. The three Moltke-class battlecruisers were armed with three triple 50x caliber 343mm guns. None of the warships in active service in the Imperial Navy could withstand the main guns of these battlecruisers of the Germans. Even the 356 mm guns of the Imperial Navy's 'King Kong-class' battlecruisers were only 50 times the caliber of the 343 mm guns of the 'Moltke-class' battlecruisers of the German Navy. Not to mention the more powerful 380 mm gun. Admiral Suio Shimamura sighed.

These data on paper alone are enough to make the island country's navy rush to despair. Although the navy of the island nation is considered the first in the world in East Asia. However, in front of a real world naval power, it seems that it is not enough. Not to mention, the German Navy was the new maritime hegemon that had brought down the British Navy. This naturally puts unbearable pressure on the navies of the island countries.

"How nice it would be if the Imperial Navy had those mighty ships as well! We can even dominate the Pacific! General Goro Ijiin said. His eyes were full of envy and jealousy. Western powers can build capital ships like crazy. However, the island nation is not able to do it, and the two 'Fuso-class' battleships built by themselves are still under construction. If you want to serve, you have to do it for a while. And the follow-up warship manufacturing plan depends on the financial situation. This made General Goro Ijiin worried.

"The empire has only been developed for a few decades since the Meiji Restoration. It's great to have what we are doing now. Which of those European powers has not developed for hundreds of years? If we were given such a long time, I believe that the Empire would definitely be able to become a truly world-class power, and not just barely rank among the world's great powers, as it is now. General Rokuro Yashiro said.

These islanders are still very proud that the island country has become one of the world's great powers in just a few decades. After all, they are the only countries in the East that have made it to the great powers. The other countries of the East have all become colonies of the great powers.

"Yes! It was not easy for the empire to be able to achieve what it is today. So, we have to do everything we can to win this battle. Otherwise, once the empire loses this war, the consequences can be imagined. Senior General Shimamura said.

Admiral Rokuro Yashiro and Admiral Goro Ijiin also nodded their heads repeatedly, and they both knew what it would mean to the island nation if they lost.
