"Mr. Prime Minister, if the Russian Pacific Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet are successfully combined, it will indeed pose a great threat to us. Even though we have a considerable advantage in the number of aircraft carriers. However, the Russian aircraft carriers are all large fleet aircraft carriers that can carry a large number of carrier-based aircraft. In contrast, the Imperial Navy has fewer large fleet aircraft carriers.
In addition, in terms of carrier-based aircraft, there is a certain gap between the Imperial Navy and the Lighthouse Navy and the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy. Therefore, the Imperial Navy must not allow the Russian Pacific Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet to combine.
If they can be defeated one by one, then the Imperial Navy and the Lighthouse Navy will undoubtedly have a much greater chance of winning.
We can concentrate our main forces to first eliminate the Russian Pacific Fleet or the Black Sea Fleet. At that time, the Russians will not be able to compete with the Imperial Navy."
General Nagano Osami, the Chief of the Navy’s Military Affairs Department of the Eastern Empire, also said-.
Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro nodded. He was not a military man, not a professional. In this regard, we can only listen to the analysis and suggestions of military professionals.
However, Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro also believes that if the Japanese Navy and the Lighthouse Navy can seize the opportunity, there is still a great chance to defeat the Russian Navy.
"Mr. Prime Minister, the Combined Fleet has discussed the matter with the Pacific Fleet of the Lighthouse Country Navy. We plan to make a show of attacking the Russian Black Sea Fleet to lure the Russian Pacific Fleet to rescue. In fact, our main fleet is in the waters east of Hokkaido Island, preparing to ambush the Russian Pacific Fleet. First, concentrate our forces to destroy the Russian Pacific Fleet. Then, we will go all out to siege the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
Although the Russian Black Sea Fleet is not weak, they have come all the way from Europe to the Far East, and even if they rested halfway, their soldiers and warships cannot maintain their peak combat power. On the other hand, we and the Lighthouse Country Navy are waiting for the opportunity.
As long as we can seize the opportunity and destroy the Russian Pacific Fleet first, then we will win this battle!"
Commander of the Combined Fleet Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto laid out the entire combat plan.
"Then, the key is to see if the Russians will be fooled." Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro said.
"Yes, Prime Minister. We believe that the Russians are likely to be fooled. Otherwise, they will be defeated one by one by us. They must combine their two fleets to fight against us! Only then can they defeat us." Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto said.
"Next, we will deploy a large number of submarines in the waters around the Kuril Islands to find the traces of the Russians. At the same time, the navy will also dispatch a large number of reconnaissance aircraft to search for the location of the Russian Pacific Fleet. As long as the traces of their fleet are found, they are dead." Yamamoto GorokuLieutenant General Sixteen continued.
In a naval battle, the most difficult thing is to find the location of the enemy’s fleet.
After all, the sea is vast, even if a large fleet maintains radio silence throughout the whole process. Then, it is not so easy to find the enemy.
Once the enemy’s fleet is discovered. Then, everything will undoubtedly be much easier.
Whether it is a carrier-based aircraft or a warship, you can attack the enemy.
Of course, in the naval battles of this era, carrier-based aircraft have replaced the battleships and become the absolute main force of naval battles. The role of the battleships has declined a lot.
Being the first to discover the enemy’s fleet and then launching carrier-based aircraft to attack will undoubtedly give you a great advantage in naval battles.
"Very good, gentlemen, then it seems that we have a great chance of winning! Although the Russians are stronger than we expected. The difficulty of this war is also greater than we expected. However, from the current point of view, we still have a great advantage. I also believe that the soldiers of the empire will be able to defeat the Russians. We will definitely win this war!" Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro looked hopeful.
If the Eastern Empire Navy can win in the naval battle, then the Eastern Empire will be invincible in this battle.
Even if the army cannot win on the land battlefield. However, they can at least ensure the safety of the homeland.

As long as the homeland is not attacked by the Russians, as long as the homeland is not lost. Then, the Eastern Empire can continue the war. The Eastern Empire will not be completely defeated.
"What about the army? Now our battles on Hokkaido Island and the Korean Peninsula seem to have not been able to open up the situation!" Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro looked a little unhappy.
You know, the army has already invested nearly four million troops on the battlefield!
Before the large-scale mobilization again, the total strength of the Eastern Empire Army was only seven million.
Excluding the two million deployed in the Ming Empire, there are only five million troops that can be mobilized.
Now, except for the millions of soldiers staying in the mainland, the rest of the army has almost been dispatched. (To read the exciting novels, go to Fly Novel Network!)
The faces of Army Minister General Tojo Yinji, Army Chief of Staff General Sugiyama Gen and Army Education Director General Yamada Otozo are not very good.
Before launching the attack, the Eastern Army was full of confidence in the next battle, and believed that it would definitely sweep across Hokkaido Island and the Korean Peninsula. But what they didn’t expect was that it would be like this.
"Mr. Prime Minister, we did underestimate the Russians. We did not expect their reinforcements to arrive so quickly. At the same time, the fighting power shown by the Koreans is also stronger than we expected. However, after the navy defeats the Russian navy, we can continue to move towards Hokkaido."We will send more troops to Hokkaido Island and the Korean Peninsula. By then, the Russians will still not be our opponents." said Prime Minister Tojo Yinji.
The Oriental Empire has once again started large-scale mobilization, and a large number of young and middle-aged people have joined the army.
Once these troops form combat effectiveness, the Oriental Empire Army will have sufficient troops to mobilize.
At that time, we will continue to send reinforcements to the battlefield.
"Yes, Prime Minister, we have planned to send millions of troops to Hokkaido Island and the Korean Peninsula respectively after the navy wins. By then, we will definitely be able to open up the situation and win!" General Sugiyama Moto also expressed his opinion..
