Chapter 126 Global Broadcast
The scene shifts to the conference room at the Dongyang State headquarters.
Navy Minister Yamamoto Noriyuki slammed the table, his voice full of dissatisfaction: "Your Majesty, Yan Country is simply openly declaring war!"
"How dare they do this?"
"Besides, I seriously suspect we have a spy in our midst."
"After all, not many people know about this oil field."
"If there wasn't an internal problem, how could Yan Country learn the news so quickly and launch an attack?"
Army Minister Kiyotaka Watanabe then said, "Your Majesty, the two divisions currently stationed on the island are being assembled urgently!"
“And joined forces with local indigenous forces to rush to the oil fields.”
"We must retake this oil field and not let Yan Country succeed!"
However, Emperor Ito Eiji frowned and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he slowly said: "Our fleet on this island has been completely destroyed, including a Kongo-class battleship."
"In addition, the Army Aviation Corps suffered heavy losses."
“Although there are still two divisions on the island, plus the local indigenous troops, the total force is quite considerable.”
"But the Yan Kingdom sent out an armored division this time, and many of the weapons they used are new to us."
"Moreover, in this battle, we did not see the weapons of the previous generation of Yan Country. Apparently, they have upgraded their weapons."
"Faced with this situation, we need to reassess the situation and formulate new strategies."
There was silence in the conference room as everyone realized the seriousness of the situation.
Navy Minister Yoshiyuki Yamamoto's face turned very ugly. He considered this an insult and provocation to their country.
However, the emperor did not make a decision immediately, but fell into deep thought.
He said: "Lord Yamamoto, I understand your concerns, but we must consider the overall interests of the empire."
"The distance between us and Yan Country is far, and they have the advantage of playing at home."
"Besides, we are still not sure to what extent Yan Nation's naval strength has developed."
"Their super battleships alone have already put us under tremendous pressure."
"Let me think about it more carefully."
Yamamoto Noriyuki could only helplessly reply: "Hi."
At this moment, a lieutenant general hurried into the room and reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Yan Country has released a video."
"And it was televised all over the world, and it was exactly what they were doing when they attacked our fleet."
The emperor asked in shock, "What? Not only are they going to slap us in the face, but they're also going to make this public?"
"Besides, Yan Country's broadcasting technology is so advanced?"
The lieutenant general replied: "Your Majesty, I don't know the details."
“However, there is television equipment outside so you can go and watch it yourself.”
So, a group of people came outside and saw the video being played.
In the picture, the Dongyang fleet was heavily bombarded by the Yan warships, flames shot into the sky, and debris was scattered everywhere.
The emperor watched TV with a gloomy face and said nothing. He was thinking about how to deal with it.
The other generals looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
The whole scene fell into silence, with only the sound from the TV echoing.
Emperor Ito Eiji said helplessly at this time: "You all saw it, right?"
"Just one super battleship destroyed our fleet of nearly twenty warships, including a battleship."
Although Navy Minister Yamamoto Noriyuki was unwilling to accept it, he had to admit the strength of Yan Country's super battleship: "This Yan Country's super battleship was able to survive several torpedo hits without suffering too much damage."
"From the direction it was sailing, it was obviously going to carry out another mission."
Army Minister Kiyotaka Watanabe did not say much, but just stared at the TV screen quietly, lost in deep thought.
Emperor Ito Eiji then responded: "You should have also noticed the subsequent appearance of Yan Country's aircraft carrier, right?"
"That kind of heavy aircraft carrier is estimated to be able to carry more than a hundred carrier-based aircraft. Our aircraft carriers are completely unable to compete with it."
"Your Majesty, according to your opinion, what should we do now? Should we continue to prepare for a counterattack?"
Emperor Ito Eiji frowned and responded: "If Yan Country's aircraft carriers and destroyers were involved, their super battleships would not be hit by torpedoes."
"It seems that Yan Country did this on purpose in order to show other countries the power of their super battleships."
"Send a telegram to the commander of Kalimantan Island immediately and ask him to stop the attack and stay nearby."
Navy Minister Noriyuki Yamamoto asked anxiously, "And then?"
"We don't know the true strength of the Yan Kingdom Navy at present. If we go to war with Yan Kingdom just because of this medium-sized oil field, it will be more trouble than it's worth."
"Therefore, we should start negotiations with Yan State and voluntarily give up the competition for the oil field, but at the same time require Yan State not to expand further."
"Your Majesty, we definitely have a chance!"
"Absolutely not. Our primary goal is to conquer the Great State. The Nanyang region is only a secondary goal."
"Hi!"
Soon, the Emperor of Dongyang was like an ant on hot pot.
He was anxious to ask the commander of Kalimantan Island to negotiate with Yan Country.
After all, they currently have no good way to deal with Yan Country’s super battleships.
Unless we can control absolute air supremacy, but negotiating air supremacy with Yan State is simply asking for humiliation.
Both the governments and the people of various countries have seen the power of Yan Country’s super battleships through television.
"Oh, my god, it's so terrifying, a super battleship taking on twenty warships alone."
"Yes, that's right. Moreover, there was no serious damage after being hit by several torpedoes in a row. We can still carry out the mission."
"Is this the power of a super battleship?"
"And why did Yan Kingdom suddenly launch a war against Dongyang Kingdom?"
"No one knows why, but I usually go to war because of conflicts of interest. Otherwise, countries will not easily go to war with each other."
"Do you think a war will break out between the two countries?"
"I don't know."
People from various countries were discussing the Yan State's super battleship and the situation between Yan State and Dongyang State in the streets and alleys.
Some people marveled at the power of the super battleship, while others speculated whether a larger-scale war would break out between the two countries.
The whole world was shocked by this sudden event.
