Jagged Germany

  On the morning of August 12, the German expeditionary fleet had left Ise Bay and was preparing to head south to Osaka Bay to destroy the two important cities of the island nation, Osaka and Kobe.

  After destroying Shizuoka, Hamamatsu, and Nagoya one after another, the officers and soldiers of the German expeditionary fleet have become completely numb to destroying island cities. They will no longer feel any remorse or guilt for this. After massacres have become the norm, naturally no one will care about anything.

   "I will definitely go to **** after I die!" Lieutenant General Spei murmured. He found that he was about to become a devil, because of his order, how many innocent people died under the shells of the expedition fleet.

   "However, for the benefit of the German Empire, I would rather go to hell!" Lieutenant General Spee's eyes immediately became firm.

   "General, it seems that we don't need to go to Osaka Bay!" Chief of Staff Major General Mao Fu reported.

   "Oh? Do the islanders have the guts to fight us decisively?" Lieutenant General Spei raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, General. The combined fleet of the islanders has already set off from Tokyo Bay, and is now heading south along the coastline. The combined fleet of the islanders is very large. There are 19 battleships alone. Of course, there are two of them. One seems to be an armored cruiser. There are also 8 armored cruisers, 13 cruisers and 39 destroyers. I have to admit that the islanders have sent the real main force this time. The size of this fleet is much larger than ours. "Major General Mao Fu said.

Lieutenant Admiral Spei nodded: "Indeed, the combined fleet of the island nation's navy is huge. It can be seen that they are going to fight us desperately. This time, we have to be careful, and we can't capsize in the gutter because of this. In that case, it would be very bad.”

   After deducting the warships protecting the transport fleet, the expedition fleet now only has nine battlecruisers, eight light cruisers and 21 destroyers. In terms of the number of various warships, the expedition fleet is at an absolute disadvantage. Even if the warship performance of the Japanese navy is generally not as good as that of the German expeditionary fleet, they still need to be careful. There are too many unexpected factors in the naval battle. If the naval battle is lost due to negligence, the consequences will be serious. At that time, Lieutenant General Spei didn't know how to explain to the Kaiser.

"Yes, General. We have to make full use of our advantages to eliminate the island nation's combined fleet step by step. If we can eliminate the island nation's combined navy fleet without losing a single battleship like the previous naval battle with the British, That would be great!" Major General Mao Fu said.

"Well, after the battle begins, let's get rid of the 'King Kong-class' battlecruisers of the islanders first. In this way, their other warships will not pose a threat to us." Lieutenant General Spee has already figured out how to win this battle up.

   "Order the fleet, go north immediately, and prepare for a decisive battle with the islanders!" Lieutenant General Spee ordered.

  The German expeditionary fleet immediately changed course and headed north. The reason why Lieutenant General Spee ordered the expeditionary fleet to attack the coastal cities of the island country was to force the navy of the island country to go to sea and fight them decisively. Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need for him to order the fleet to attack the island city. After all, he is not an executioner.

  Of course, if the island nation's navy still refuses to accept the conditions of the German Empire after the defeat, then Lieutenant General Spee's actions may have to continue.

  In Sagami Bay, the joint fleet of the island nation's navies is heading south. More than ten kilometers away from the joint fleet of the island nation's navy, two destroyers of the German Navy were watching them from a distance. These are the destroyers 'G37' and 'G38' among the 'G-class' destroyers of the German Navy.

   These two destroyers have been cruising near the Uraga Waterway, and their mission is to monitor the navy of the island country. Once the navy of the island country comes out of Tokyo Bay, they will immediately report to the flagship so that the fleet can prepare for it.

"Your Excellency Commander, those two German destroyers are too annoying. With them watching from the sidelines, any of our actions are under their control. It would be even better if we can drive them away." Joint Fleet Staff Officer Major General Gentaro Nagayama said.

  General Ijuin Goro nodded: "Send two destroyers! By the way, you can also test the strength of the German destroyers."

   "Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Major Gentaro Yamashita nodded heavily.

   Soon, the destroyers "Isoha" and "Ayanami" among the "Kamikaze-class" battleships of the Japanese Navy left the formation and told the two destroyers of the German Navy to rush.

These two destroyers can be regarded as the most cutting-edge destroyers of the Japanese navy, with a displacement of 450 tons and a maximum speed of 29 knots. With 450mm torpedo tube.

  However, compared with the G-class destroyers of the German Navy, the "Kamikaze-class" destroyers of the Japanese Navy are not very good. The G-class destroyer has a displacement of 1,051 tons and a maximum speed of 34 knots. It is equipped with three 88mm single-mounted guns and six 500mm torpedo tubes.

  The displacement of the G-class destroyer is more than twice that of the "Kamikaze-class" destroyer, and the maximum speed is 5 knots higher. Although the number of artillery is only half of that of the "Kamikaze" destroyer, the 88mm naval gun with 45 times the caliber is much more powerful than the 80mm naval gun with 40 times the caliber and the 80mm naval gun with 28 times the caliber. Not to mention that the rate of fire of the naval guns of the German Navy is much higher. In terms of firepower output, the G-class destroyer is not only not weaker than the "Kamikaze" destroyer, but even has an advantage. In terms of torpedoes, the G-class destroyer can launch heavy torpedoes, while the "Kamikaze" destroyer can only launch medium-sized torpedoes.

   On the destroyer 'G37', the captain, Captain Mike, looked at the two island nation destroyers rushing towards them with a sneer.

"The islanders are indeed so stingy. They are also a country that lacks resources. The destroyers of the empire are more than twice as large as theirs. It's really incredible to equip so many main guns on a destroyer with a displacement of more than 400 tons. I know what the islanders think. Don’t they think that the more artillery a battleship has, the more powerful it will be? If that’s the case, just put as many artillery pieces on the battleship as possible.” Captain Mike said disdainfully .

   "Send a telegram to destroyer 'G38' and let them prepare for battle! Since the islanders want to die by themselves, we will fulfill them!" Captain Mike sneered.
