I am the emperor in Nanyang, I am the ultimate winner

Chapter 213 The shocked Dongyang Kingdom.

In the meeting room of Dongyang State, the Navy Minister Yamamoto Noriyuki was standing there with a sad face, and said in a low and helpless voice: "Your Majesty, we suffered a disastrous defeat in this operation... We failed to completely wipe out the mixed fleet as we wished."

"The most crucial point is that we have never been able to destroy that terrifying super battleship!"

After hearing this, Emperor Ito Eiji, who was sitting at the top of the table, was immediately furious. He slammed the table, stood up, pointed at Yamamoto Takashi and shouted: "You are a good-for-nothing idiot!"

"What was it like when you made such a solemn promise to me?"

"Is this what you call a 70% chance of winning? This is absolutely ridiculous!"

Yamamoto Noriyuki lowered his head quickly, sweat dripping down his forehead, and explained tremblingly: "Your Majesty, please calm down and listen to what I have to say."

"This defeat is not what I wanted. It is because we seriously underestimated the powerful combat capability of Yan Country's carrier-based aircraft."

"Although we had an absolute advantage in numbers, we only achieved a disastrous result of one to several."

"Moreover, the defensive capability of that super battleship is beyond all of our imaginations. Even after more than 20 torpedoes hit it, it still couldn't sink!"

However, Emperor Ito Eiji was already furious at this time and was unwilling to listen to any more excuses. He roared angrily: "Now that things have come to this, what's the point of you saying this now?"

"The main fleet of Yan Nation is about to arrive. Even a mere mixed fleet makes it so difficult for us to move forward. How can we fight against their main force?"

The entire conference room fell into silence in an instant. Everyone looked at each other, their hearts filled with endless fear and worry.

At this critical moment, the Army Minister Kiyotaka Watanabe once again appeared on the scene and played the role of the disgusting troublemaker.

He shouted indignantly: "Now, Yan Country has officially declared war on our Dongyang Empire!"

"And the Navy should bear all the responsibility for this huge mistake!"

"Besides, this time our Army's aviation forces are working very hard and closely together!"

"However, the navy is so useless. Even with such help, it is still unable to destroy the Yan Kingdom's mixed fleet!"

"They are simply the eternal sinners of the empire!"

Facing Watanabe Kiyotaka's accusation, the Navy Minister Yamamoto Noriyuki did not show any weakness and immediately retorted: "What do you mean by that? Are all the sins to be blamed on our navy?"

Seeing this, Watanabe Kiyotaka became more aggressive: "Shouldn't the responsibility for this be borne by your navy?"

"Are you going to blame our army? Wasn't this war deliberately provoked by your navy?"

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Ito Eiji was seen in a rage. He grabbed a teacup and smashed it to the ground.

There was a crisp "bang" sound, and the teacup shattered, splashing tea everywhere.

Emperor Ito Eiji shouted, "Shut up! We are surrounded by powerful enemies, but instead of uniting to resist them, you are fighting among yourselves! How disgraceful!"

Watanabe Kiyotaka was startled, but he quickly regained his composure and still responded stubbornly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I am just discussing the matter at hand."

"At least our army has successfully captured Gaoshan Island, and the National Defense Army has also surrendered."

"On the other hand, the navy... hehe."

The implication of his words is obviously full of contempt and dissatisfaction towards the navy.

Navy Minister Yamamoto Noriyuki responded solemnly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured! I am willing to bear all the blame for this defeat."

"It is because I underestimated the strength of Yan Nation's mixed fleet."

"However, although the current situation is serious, it is not hopeless."

"According to the latest intelligence, Yan Country now has nearly 40 aircraft carriers heading towards the waters of Nan Dazhou."

"Despite this, I firmly believe that as long as the strategy is appropriate and the tactics are sophisticated, our army still has a chance to defeat the main fleet of Yan Country!"

The Minister of War, Kiyotaka Watanabe, who was standing by, sarcastically said, "If it's hard to wipe out a mixed fleet, how can you deal with a powerful main fleet?"

"Not to mention the staggering number of those 40 aircraft carriers, the total number of carrier-based aircraft they carry is as many as two to three thousand!"

"Even though some of these aircraft carriers are not of standard specifications, the combat power of these fighters cannot be underestimated."

"Let me ask you, if we don't have five times the number of fighter planes as the enemy, how can we fight against them?"

Emperor Ito Eiji's face was as gloomy as water. He glared at the two ministers in front of him who had been fighting each other all day long. He was so angry that he almost wanted to tear them into pieces.

At this moment, Emperor Ito Eiji asked: "Tell me quickly, what are you going to do?"

The Navy Minister, Yamamoto Noriyuki, quickly responded, "Your Majesty, I think we should mobilize our combined fleet to the waters of Minami-Oshu."

"At the same time, the Army's aviation forces need to work closely together along the coastline."

"In this way, there will be a total of nearly 10,000 fighter planes of various types participating in the war."

"In addition, perhaps we can seek help from the United States."

The Emperor nodded slightly to show his approval, and continued, "Well, then let's do as you say. Don't let me down again."

"Quickly send a signal for help to the United States. You know, the United States certainly doesn't want to see Yan State becoming increasingly powerful."

"Besides, if our army loses this battle, it will not be a good thing for the United States!"

"Hi, Your Majesty! I will follow your instructions and do my best!" Navy Minister Noriyuki Yamamoto replied after bowing again.

As soon as he finished speaking, this emergency military meeting was hastily ended.

The Army Minister, Kiyotaka Watanabe, glanced at the Navy Minister with disdain on his face, then turned and left in a very casual manner.
