Third Reich: I took over power

Edo, Admiralty of the Eastern Empire.

Although it was already dark, the entire Admiralty was still brightly lit.

In the office of Navy Minister Shitaro Shimada, the three chief officers of the Navy were gathering together.

They placed some side dishes and bottles of sake on the coffee table and started chatting while drinking.

Commander of the Combined Fleet, Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku, will lead the Combined Fleet to attack tomorrow. For them, this may be the last chance to drink.

If the combined fleet can win this time, then they can still celebrate Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku. If he fails, Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku will naturally die.

The tradition of the Oriental people is that a defeated general must commit suicide by committing seppuku to express responsibility for the failure.

Even if Yamamoto Isoroku has become Admiral of the Navy, he cannot be an exception.

"Gentlemen, this time I will lead the main force of the combined fleet to fight. The rise and fall of the empire depends on this battle. Domestic affairs will be left to you. Be sure to supervise the construction progress of those battleships in the shipyard. The progress must be accelerated as much as possible. Perhaps, this will be very important!"Marshal Isoroku Yamamoto's expression was serious.

General Shitaro Shittaro and General Hayao Shimamura could not help but frown tightly.

Obviously, the meaning revealed in General Isoroku Yamamoto's words was undoubtedly about this. They are not optimistic about a big war. If this is the case, doesn't it mean that it is really difficult for them to win in this naval battle?

"Marshal, do we really have no chance at all?"General Shitaro Shittaro couldn't help but ask.

"It's hard, it's hard. Our opponent is the Third Reich, not other countries. If it is the Eagle Sauce Country, then I am confident that I will win. However, this time the opponent is the Third Reich, and I really don’t have the slightest confidence. The Third Reich Navy was not only powerful, but also had rich combat experience. Their naval officers have all experienced the baptism of wars. Although our navy officers are also very good. But the basic disadvantages are difficult to make up for. Our number of capital ships is only half that of the Third Reich's navy. Even if we have the world's most powerful battleships like the Yamato-class battleships. However, the N3 class battleships of the Third Reich were no worse than the Yamato class. Even their 50 times caliber 457 mm main gun is more powerful than the 45 times caliber 460 mm main gun of the Yamato class battleships. However, in terms of armored defense, our Yamato-class battleships have the advantage.

What is more important is actually the strength gap between the two sides' aircraft carriers. We are able to dispatch 29 aircraft carriers. The same goes for the Third Reich Navy, which is about the same size. However, the carrier-based aircraft carried by our aircraft carriers are generally smaller than those of the aircraft carriers of the Third Reich Navy. Especially their latest Empire-class aircraft carrier, which is said to be able to carry up to 145 carrier-based aircraft. This kind of carrying capacity is really terrifying. Four Empire-class aircraft carriers can carry up to 580 carrier-based aircraft.

In addition, our Zero fighter focuses too much on low-altitude dogfighting performance. However, the tactics of the carrier-based aircraft of the Third Reich Navy basically did not engage in low-altitude dogfights, but directly carried out dive attacks. After our careful deduction, our Zero fighter is probably no match for the carrier-based aircraft of the Third Reich Navy in an air battle."

Marshal Isoroku Yamamoto said these huge gaps.

Immediately, General Shitaro Shittaro and General Hayao Shimamura's faces were so gloomy that they could shed water.

They could feel that if Isoroku Yamamoto If the Sixth Marshal said this, wouldn't they definitely lose in this battle?

"Marshal, what should we do?"General Shimamura Hayao couldn't help but panic.

No matter who it is, when faced with the inevitable loss, I'm afraid they can't help but feel panic.

"We have no other choice in this battle and must fight to the end. In this battle, I will do my best to cause greater casualties to the Third Reich Navy. Even if we are all lost, as long as we can defeat the main force of the Third Reich Navy. Then we still have a chance. As long as our shipyards can continuously build more battleships and aircraft carriers, the strength of the Imperial Navy will not be left blank. Then, we can continue to fight against the Third Reich Navy. Perhaps, it can be delayed until the Third Reich cannot bear the huge losses of the war. Therefore, they are willing to sit down and negotiate with us to end this war. In this case, we will have a chance to do it again!"Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku said.

General Shitaro Shittaro and General Hayao Shimamura nodded repeatedly.

If we can fight to the end and end this war, then it will undoubtedly be very beneficial to the Eastern Empire. No matter how big the loss is , , as long as after the war is over, as long as they are willing to invest more resources, then the Toyo Empire Navy can develop again. Even, become more powerful. However

, Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku is probably dead. He is Once, I undoubtedly had a death wish. Even though I knew it was a dead end, I was determined to do my best to create a future for the Toyo Empire Navy and the entire Toyo Empire.

"Your Excellency, Marshal, if possible, please remain useful. The Imperial Navy cannot do without you. We will try our best to urge major shipyards to improve the construction progress and complete these warships and aircraft carriers as soon as possible." Shitaro Shittaro was full of admiration for Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku.

"yes! Your Majesty the Marshal. Even if we fail in this battle. However, if it can severely damage the Third Reich Navy. Then, we still have a chance to make a comeback. Your Excellency will be able to lead the combined fleet again in the future and avenge the past!"General Shimamura Hayao also said.

General Yamamoto Isoroku shook his head.

"If not able to win. So naturally someone has to take responsibility for the failure. As the commander of the combined fleet, I am undoubtedly the best candidate. As long as the empire can win this battle and maintain its overseas interests, it will have a chance to rise again. Even if I die in this naval battle, what does it matter? I have long since put my personal life and death aside."Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku seemed very open-minded at the moment, as if he didn't care about his own life or death.
