"Gentlemen, Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, is under great pressure. If the Germans continue to slaughter so recklessly, Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, will not be able to bear the pressure. Therefore, we have no other choice. We must defeat the Germans as soon as possible." After returning to the Ministry of the Navy, Admiral Yatsushiro Rokuro's face was very ugly.

"Our reconnaissance ship found that the German transport fleet was not accompanying. It can be seen that their transport fleet did not accompany the fleet. Now, we just don't know where the German transport fleet is. The sea is so big , It is not so easy to find the German transport fleet." Admiral Hayao Shimamura said.

"Think of a way to organize another batch of scout ships to see if you can find the German transport fleet. As long as their transport fleet is found, immediately send the fleet to attack. As long as the German transport fleet is killed, their fleet It won't work if you don't leave! General Ijiin Goro said.

"I hope God Amaterasu can bless us, and discover the German transport fleet earlier!" Admiral Yashiro Rokuro sighed.

The navy of the island country now completely pins its hopes of defeating the German expeditionary fleet on finding the fleet's transport fleet, and defeating them by destroying the transport fleet and causing the German expeditionary fleet to lose supplies. If the navy of the island country and the German expeditionary fleet were to confront each other head-on, they would have no courage and absolutely no confidence.

The German Navy Expeditionary Fleet, all the way north, arrived at Sagami Bay on August 10. The Uraga Waterway was originally an extremely busy waterway, but the German expeditionary fleet attacked all the way, making those merchant ships huddled in Tokyo Bay and dared not go out. The naval base in Yokosuka is even more like an enemy. All coastal defense guns were pointed at the strait. Once the German expeditionary fleet intends to enter Tokyo Bay, they will open fire immediately. Even, the navy of the island country deployed a large number of mines in the Uraga waterway overnight to prevent the German expeditionary fleet from entering Tokyo Bay.

On the battlecruiser "Mackensen", the flagship of the German Navy Expeditionary Fleet, Lieutenant General Spee and Rear Admiral Mauf are discussing the next battle.

"General, it seems that the navy of the island country is determined to be a turtle. We have sunk so many of their merchant ships and fishing boats, and they are indifferent." Rear Admiral Maofu said.

"Yeah! It seems that the navy of the island country is still very wise. They know that if they fight us decisively, they have no chance of winning. Therefore, they will adopt this method. However, they should have underestimated our determination. This time, we will never let the islanders bow their heads completely," Lieutenant General Spei said.

The battle will evolve into this way. Although the German Navy expeditionary fleet has an unshirkable responsibility, at the same time, the island navy is also responsible for it. If they hadn't been huddled in the port, the expedition fleet would not have targeted the coastal cities of the island country. Of course, the expeditionary fleet is suspected of massacring civilians in doing so. But in the final analysis, this is what the islanders asked for. If it weren't for their ambitious desire to seize the colonies belonging to Germany, Germany would not have sent an expeditionary fleet eastward. Therefore, all these are the islanders themselves.

"Give the transport fleet an order. The fleet will be replenished tonight. Tomorrow morning, launch an attack on Shizuoka and destroy it!" Lieutenant General Spee ordered.

Originally, Tokyo should be the best target. However, Lieutenant General Spei did not dare to venture into the Uraga Waterway. The coastal defense artillery of the islanders is not a concern. But the mines there have to be guarded against. The fleet cannot take risks unless it is absolutely necessary. After all, it is far away from the mainland of Germany. If a warship is lost, it will not be replenished for a long time.

"Yes, General." Major General Mao Fu immediately went to make arrangements.

That night, the German expeditionary fleet joined the supply fleet at a sea area 300 kilometers away from Sagami Bay. The warships of the fleet replenished fuel, shells, food and water from the supply fleet in turn. This sequential supply is enough to support a few days of high-intensity fighting.

After the supply was completed, it was already midnight. The fleet began to rush towards the first target delineated by Lieutenant General Spee. The supply fleet continued to enter the Pacific Ocean on standby.

On August 11, the sun rose as usual. When the Pacific Ocean rose from the sea, the German expeditionary fleet had once again entered Sagami Bay, and the target was directed at Shizuoka.

At 7:00 in the morning, the expedition fleet arrived off the coast of Shizuoka. The huge German fleet arrived off the coast of Shizuoka, which greatly frightened the islanders living here.

"Amaterasu! Those Germans are coming, they are coming to Shizuoka, what do they want to do?"

"Who knows? They don't want to shell Shizuoka!"

"How is that possible? No matter how the Germans are members of a civilized society, how could they do such a thing?"

"I heard that the Germans have been looking for a decisive battle with the Imperial Navy. But the Imperial Navy is shrinking its head and hiding in Tokyo Bay. The Germans have no choice but to vent their anger on others."

"Baga! Those **** in the navy. The people of the empire tightened their belts, supported the development of the navy, bought warships for them, and built new warships. Could it be that they can only be shrinking turtles when the enemy comes?"

"The enemy is too strong, and Germany is now the world's most powerful country! The strength of the navy is not as good as others, so there is no way to choose to preserve its strength!"

The German Expeditionary Fleet will not pay attention to the ideas of the islanders. They are soldiers, and their bounden duty is to obey orders.

"Order all ships, prepare!" Lieutenant General Spei gave the order coldly. At this moment, he knew what the consequences would be after his order was issued. However, he still didn't hesitate at all.

Battlecruisers one after another began to hit the horizontal hull, aiming at Shizuoka with their sides.

"Damn, the Germans are really going to shell Shizuoka!"

"Run away! Once the Germans open fire, we're dead!"

Countless islanders began to flee in all directions. However, it is too late. If they started to retreat at the beginning. Perhaps, there is still a chance to escape. As for now, I am afraid that the only way for them to be torn to pieces by shells.

"Fire!" Lieutenant General Spee gave the order.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The battlecruiser 'Mackenson' fired first, and three triple-mounted 380mm main guns began to roar. Heavy artillery shells roared towards Shizuoka.

The other eight battlecruisers followed closely behind and started shelling, smashing heavy shells at Shizuoka.
