"Commander, of the four capital ships of the Japanese Combined Fleet, three were sunk by us, and only the 'Kii' escaped. Eight heavy cruisers, all sunk. Vice Admiral Li Dingxin, chief of staff of the Pacific Fleet, said with a happy face.

"It's a pity that the battleship 'Kii' was gone. Otherwise, all four capital ships of Little Japan would have been sunk by us. "Admiral Liu Guanxiong said. ' The ship Kii' escaped, making this victory of the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Navy less than perfect. However, the Imperial Navy won this naval battle at a small cost, and it was still a well-deserved victory.

"However, the capital ship of little Japan, there is only one 'Kii' left, and it is still powerless. The Imperial Navy only needs to leave two 'Five Emperor-class' battleships behind, and they will be able to deal with him. Besides, now that little Japan has experienced another fiasco and has completely become a frightened bird, do they still have the courage to go out of the port to fight the Imperial Navy? I don't believe it. Admiral Liu Guanxiong said.

"Yes! In this battle, we finally lived up to His Majesty's expectations and eliminated the main force of the Japanese Navy. Next, it is time to consolidate sea supremacy, and then assist the landing operation of the army. After the demise of the navy of small Japan, the Japanese archipelago no longer had the strength to resist the attack of the Empire. Lieutenant General Li Dingxin said. Japan, having lost its navy, is like a beautiful girl stripped naked, about to be ravaged by a big man.

"Clean up the battlefield and send a telegram to the country. Your Majesty and all the marshals must still be waiting for our victorious report! Admiral Liu Guanxiong said.

"Okay, Commander." Lieutenant General Li Dingxin nodded.

During this battle, many ships of the Japanese Navy were destroyed, and many sailors fell into the sea. Although, it's August, and the sea can't. But. It is still not possible to soak in the sea for a long time. Although the Imperial Navy was reluctant to save these Japanese, the battle was over, and sending these Japanese to prisoner of war camps could be used as free labor in the future.

Admiral Liu Guanxiong stood by the window of the command tower. Looking at the sea outside, I was very emotional. After the victory of the Imperial Navy in this battle, the Japanese Navy was truly finished. Even though the Japanese Navy still had four of the most powerful Yamato-class battleships in its shipyards, and four Amagi-class battlecruisers under construction, none of them could change the fate of Japan's fiasco. Once the Imperial Army landed in Japan and destroyed Japan, all of these battleships and battlecruisers would become trophies of the Imperial Navy. According to the meaning of Emperor Wu Haoxuan, four 'Yamato-class' battleships that were close to completion. It will go to the Imperial Shipyard to be refitted, mainly for more similar sighting equipment and fire control systems. After that, four 'Yamato-class' battleships would enter service with the Imperial Navy. And the Pacific Fleet, as a fleet that directly confronts the United States, naturally needs more powerful forces. Therefore, these four 'Yamato-class' battleships will definitely be assigned to the Pacific Fleet. By then, the Pacific Fleet will have four more battleships in the world. As for the four Amagi-class battlecruisers, even the hulls have not yet been built. It will be mothballed when the time comes. If necessary, it will be retrofitted to become an armored aircraft carrier of the Imperial Navy. The same hull as the previously mothballed 'Kaga-class' battleship.

Aircraft carriers built from the hulls of battleships are more heavily armored and more resistant to strikes. After all, in aircraft carrier operations, one's own aircraft carrier is also very likely to be attacked by local carrier-based aircraft. If the hull of an aircraft carrier is stronger. The armor is thicker. Then, the chances of surviving the fierce naval battle are naturally greater.

The Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Navy soon reported the battle report to the Supreme Command in Yanjing. Marshal Shi Tianhan, Chief of the Imperial General Staff, Marshal Zhao Xifu, Minister of War, and Marshal Sa Zhenbing, Minister of the Navy. Navy Commander Marshal Cheng Biguang, Deputy Chief of General Staff and Chief of Operations Admiral Jiang Baili, and others have been waiting for news from the Pacific Fleet for a long time. After all, the decisive battle between the Pacific Fleet and the Combined Fleet of the Japanese Navy this time is related to whether the empire can successfully launch a landing operation against Japan and destroy Japan.

Marshal Sa Zhenbing, Minister of the Imperial Navy, and Marshal Cheng Biguang, Commander of the Imperial Navy, had great confidence in the Pacific Fleet. Even if the 'Five Emperor-class' battleships of the Pacific Fleet were transferred, only three 'Three Emperor-class' battleships and one 'Jinghai' battleship remained, and they had to face the four powerful 'Kii-class' battleships of the Japanese Navy. However, they have always been convinced that the main fleet of the Imperial Navy has a better chance of winning. This is because the capital ships of the Imperial Navy are far stronger than the Japanese Navy's 'Kii-class' battleships in terms of comprehensive performance. Whether it is the armor-piercing ability of the main gun, the defense or the soft power such as the fire control system, the Imperial Navy is far ahead of the Japanese Navy. Of course, the data on paper of the capital ships of the Japanese Navy is very good, and the shape of the capital ships is also beautiful. However, in terms of actual combat effectiveness, they still cannot compare with the Imperial Navy.

At about 3 p.m., a staff officer walked briskly into the conference room. At this moment, the meeting room was already filled with smoke, as if there was a fire. So much so that after the staff officer came in, he couldn't help coughing.

"What's the news? Is it the telegram from the Pacific Fleet? Several marshals rushed over at once and surrounded this corps of staff officers, so that the staff officers could not help but be frightened.

"Yuan ...... Marshal! The staff officer stammered.

"What kind of yuan? What are you doing with all this nonsense? "Marshal Cheng Biguang, who has a fiery personality, has already snatched the telegram from the hands of the staff officers. When he opened the telegram, the heads of the other marshals had already come together. Only General Jiang Baili, who stayed behind, sent the innocent staff officer away.

"Haha! All right! A big win, another big win! Marshal Sa Zhenbing, Minister of the Navy, laughed.

"This time, the Pacific Fleet really fulfilled its mission and defeated the Japanese Navy again. At this time, Japan's sea supremacy in the coastal waters is already ours. Marshal Cheng Biguang also had a smile on his face.

"It seems that Marshal Shi Deshan must be informed that he can be ready to land in Japan." Marshal Shi Tianhan smiled. The navy defeated the main force of the Japanese navy and gained sea supremacy in the coastal waters of Japan. Then, a landing operation against Japan will undoubtedly raise the agenda. The sooner you land in Japan, the sooner you destroy Japan, so that you don't have too many dreams at night. Don't forget, Britain and the United States and other countries were quite unhappy with the empire's war against Japan. They could intervene in wars waged by the Empire at any time. Therefore, it would undoubtedly be great if Japan could be destroyed as soon as possible and this war could be ended.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we seem to have forgotten one of the most important things!" War Minister Marshal Cho Seok-fu said.

"Oh? What's up? The other marshals asked.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't forget that Your Majesty is still waiting for news from the Pacific Fleet." Marshal Zhao Xifu said.

"Oops! I almost forgot about it. Let's go into the palace and tell Your Majesty the good news. Marshal Sa Zhenbing said.

As a result, Admiral Jiang Baili stayed at the Supreme Command and presided over the work here, while several marshals drove to the palace to report to Emperor Wu Haoxuan about the results of the Pacific Fleet.

In the Imperial Palace, in the imperial dining room, after Wu Haoxuan read the battle report of the Pacific Fleet, the whole person was also very excited. As a person who has been reborn in later generations, there is no one in this world who hates Japan more than him. The destruction of Japan was one of his many goals. Now, that goal is finally on the verge of being reached. Without the protection of the navy, Japan could no longer pose any threat to the empire. Once the Imperial army landed in Japan, it would be almost impossible for Japan to resist the Imperial attack.

"Very well, the Pacific Fleet is playing very well this time. However, the war was not over yet, so let them continue their efforts and make sure that the remnants of the Japanese navy were wiped out in order to ensure the Empire's control of the sea. Wu Haoxuan said.

Defeating the Japanese Navy was nothing more than a means. Completely controlling the sea power is the real goal.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Marshal Sa Zhenbing and Marshal Cheng Biguang both replied.

"How long will it take for the Navy to gain sea supremacy? At least sea supremacy in the Tsushima Strait and in the northern part of the East China Sea? Wu Haoxuan asked.

"Your Majesty, after the Pacific Fleet defeats the main force of the Combined Fleet, it can send many warships to this sea area. In three days at most, we will be able to obtain the right to control this area. Marshal Cheng Biguang assured.

"Well, just three days. Three days later, the Marines and the Army joined forces to land on the Japanese mainland. Wu Haoxuan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Several marshals replied. They knew that when Wu Haoxuan said this, it was equivalent to setting the time for the empire's * army to land in Japan, but at this time, the empire had already taken the advantage. Landing in Japan in three days, there should be no problems.

"Everyone, go back and get ready. After the complete destruction of Japan, we will talk about meritorious deeds. Wu Haoxuan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers are retired." The marshals then took their leave.

After these marshals left, Wu Haoxuan muttered: "We are about to land in Japan, and this time, no one will be able to stop the empire from destroying Japan!" (To be continued.) )
