"How did this happen? Why did this happen? How could the German fleet break into Tokyo Bay? Do you know what this means? Yatsushiro-kun, the empire will suffer extremely serious losses because of this!" Tibetan Prime Minister Watsutsuki Reijiro accused .
General Yatsudai Rokuro's face was livid, and he said nothing, allowing other cabinet ministers to criticize him. He is also very aggrieved, although the coastal defense force is in charge of the navy. However, he has tried his best to defend the Uraga Waterway. Now, the Uraga Waterway is still being forcibly crossed by the Germans, which is not his reason at all. It's because the Germans are too tough!
"The German warship detonated a mine when it passed the waterway. Unfortunately, the defense of the German warship was too amazing. Even the mine did not cause much damage to it. Our coastal defense The troops also launched an attack with all their strength in an attempt to stop the Germans. However, they still failed. The defenses of the German warships are too strong, and our coastal defense guns cannot destroy their defenses at all." Admiral Yatsushiro Rokuro looked Very helpless.
The other cabinet ministers immediately looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't expect this to be the case. Originally, they thought that the resistance of the naval coastal defense forces was unfavorable, which gave the German fleet a chance to break into Tokyo Bay. But now knowing that the naval coastal defense force has done its best, there is naturally nothing to blame. After all, the Naval Coast Guard didn't want that to happen either.
"Okay, everyone, it is useless to pursue responsibility now. The key is what should we do?" After Okuma Shigenobu finished speaking, his gaze fell on Riku Sioka Ichinosuke.
Obviously, the Germans chose to venture into the Gulf of Tokyo just to force the island countries to accept their conditions. If they are willing to accept Germany's conditions and give up Germany's colonies in the Pacific Ocean, as well as Southeast Asia. This disaster may be avoided.
Now, the biggest resistance preventing the island government from accepting the conditions of the Germans comes from the army. If the Army does not agree, there is nothing to do.
Oka Ichinosuke saw everyone staring at him, and immediately felt great pressure.
"Everyone, Southeast Asia is the foundation of the revival of the empire. We must not hand over Southeast Asia! Veterans, we will not agree." Oka Ichinosuke said bravely.
"However, Tokyo is the capital of the empire. If Tokyo is destroyed by the Germans, the consequences will be even more serious." Foreign Minister Takaaki Kato accused.
"If Tokyo is destroyed, we can still rebuild it. If Southeast Asia is lost, it will be almost impossible to regain it." Oka Ichinosuke obviously didn't want to get in.
Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma couldn't help sighing, those guys in the army are really hateful. Their greed will harm the entire island nation! In addition, Okuma Shigenobu also knows that as long as Yamagata Yutomo and Dashanyan do not compromise, Oka Ichinosuke will not let go anyway.
"I have issued an order to let our remaining destroyers attack the Germans. However, I am not at all sure whether they can withstand the German attack!" Admiral Yashiro Rokuro said.
The ministers of the island’s cabinet know that this order by Yatsushiro Rokuro is completely for the destroyers of the island navy to die. However, this is impossible. The Germans are too powerful, and the island navy, whose main force has almost been lost, is no match for the Germans at all. Even if those destroyers are equipped with torpedoes, it is estimated that they will not play a big role.
Yokosuka Naval Base, here is an important base for the combined fleet. Almost all the battleships defending Tokyo are concentrated here. It's just that there are not many warships in the current Yokosuka Naval Base. The only remaining destroyers are only a dozen or so. All other warships have been lost in the decisive battle with the German expeditionary fleet.
"Woo!"
The shrill siren sounded over the base, and the sailors, who were awakened, put on their clothes in the shortest time without saying a word, and rushed to their respective posts. Although, they all had some doubts in their hearts, what happened. However, the long-term training has made their movements not slow at all.
Everyone knows that the main force of their navy has been wiped out by the German expeditionary fleet, which means that they no longer have the strength to fight the German expeditionary fleet. Many people think that they may not have the opportunity to go to sea to fight again. However, the sudden alarm sounded a little more variable. The sound of the sirens not only made the sailors feel a little worried and frightened, but also made them feel a little excited.
"Warriors, the despicable Germans have broken into the Uraga waterway, and those idiots of the coastal defense force can't stop them at all. Therefore, our superiors ordered us to attack immediately, and use our torpedoes to destroy the German warships that broke into Tokyo Bay. All were sunk. Think about it, if the Germans are allowed to break into Tokyo Bay, they will definitely destroy Tokyo just like other cities. Many of our compatriots have already died in the hands of the Germans. No more people can be killed. So, even if we risk our lives, we must stop the Germans!" The general of the Yokosuka base said to all officers and soldiers through a loudspeaker.
He successfully inspired the morale of these sailors, and everyone did not want Tokyo to be destroyed by the Germans. Tokyo is their capital! If it is also destroyed, the island country will never be able to raise its head in the world.
At the same time, to stop the Germans is to defend their compatriots, to defend their families. They have no choice at all about it.
The remaining dozen destroyers of the navy of the island nation departed from the Yokosuka Naval Port and rushed to the Uraga Waterway at high speed. I want to stop the German expeditionary fleet at the end of the waterway. In this case, they may be able to use their geographical advantage to stop the Germans.
However, it is a pity that when the destroyers of these island countries arrived, the five battlecruisers of the German Expeditionary Fleet had safely passed through the Uraga Waterway. Moreover, several light cruisers have passed through the waterway. Other light cruisers and destroyers are also passing through the waterway one after another. If they want to launch a lightning strike, they will undoubtedly be hit by the powerful firepower of the German expeditionary fleet. To successfully sink the warships of the German Expeditionary Fleet, the degree of difficulty is very high.
Even so, the commander of the island nation's navy gave an order to attack. More than a dozen island nation destroyers rushed towards the German expedition fleet quickly.
