Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

In order to save face, Ken Motokawa made no mention of the ambush by the Inui fleet in his report to the Yi Kingdom's headquarters.

The report, after being polished by Kenichi Motokawa, became: "Today we successfully located the main force of the Inui fleet and launched a surprise attack on it."

The Qian Kingdom's fleet is larger than we imagined.

According to Ken Honkawa's report, the main fleet of the Inui Kingdom has increased from 2 aircraft carriers to 4, and 3 of them have already been sunk!

Therefore, the sinking of the aircraft carriers "Wuyun," "Changcun," and "Dayi" resulted in a 3-for-3 exchange with the Qian Kingdom's aircraft carriers...

Furthermore, Kenichi Motokawa stated in his report that they were about to annihilate the remaining Inui fleet!

After receiving exaggerated and fabricated reports, the entire Yi Kingdom headquarters believed that the Imperial Navy was about to complete the feat of defeating the Qian Kingdom people on Anma Island.

Although the loss of three aircraft carriers at once was extremely painful for them.

However, the Yi Kingdom's headquarters felt relieved when they thought that the Qian Kingdom had also lost three aircraft carriers.

Everyone was remarkably in agreement on this matter—although the losses were undeniably heavy, the results achieved were equally brilliant.

Ken Motokawa fought a truly "beautiful" battle!

"I never imagined that the people of Qian Kingdom actually possess four aircraft carriers!"

"It seems that the people of Qian Kingdom are always able to surprise people these days."

"Fortunately, we are well prepared for the Qian Kingdom's fleet."

"Most importantly—we sent Ken Motokawa to Anma Island. An excellent commander is the key to victory!"

After seeing Honkawa Ken's report, the chief minister of the Yi Kingdom, Honno Yo, publicly praised and affirmed Honkawa Ken, saying, "I said it long ago."

"Sending Ken Motokawa there is equivalent to deploying an additional aircraft carrier fleet, ensuring a decisive victory in the Battle of Anma!"

-------------------------------------

the other side.

While the entire Yi Kingdom headquarters was still basking in the joy of the false battle report submitted by Kenichi Honkawa.

Under Ken Honkawa's orders, the Japanese fleet on Anma Island is busy refueling.

A tense atmosphere pervaded the entire waters around Anma Island.

5:12 AM on February 17th.

The Qian Kingdom fleet was the first to discover the location of the Yi Kingdom fleet.

The Battle of Anma Island then entered its second phase.

At this time, the Yi country's planes had finished refueling.

However, Ken Motokawa did not expect that the Inui fleet would discover their location so quickly.

5:40 AM on February 17th.

The Qian Kingdom's planes, which took off while it was still dark, launched an attack on the Yi Kingdom's fleet.

The Yi Kingdom fleet was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of Qian Kingdom aircraft, and in haste, the Yi Kingdom's 101 aircraft rushed to engage them.

However, the performance advantages of the F4U Corsair fighter jet once again played a significant role.

In addition, the barbarian side was caught off guard and their morale was low.

Unsurprisingly, the foreign planes once again entered "torture mode".

In an instant, the sky was filled with foreign planes that had been turned into fireballs....................

The Qian Kingdom's submarine fleet and naval forces then launched a siege against the Yi Kingdom's fleet.

At this moment, a new intelligence report dragged the already beleaguered foreign fleet directly into an abyss!

Ken Motokawa, aboard the aircraft carrier "Shinkaku," had a very bad feeling as he watched his side being completely overwhelmed.

The news that followed immediately confirmed Kenji Motokawa's premonition—at least five Japanese aircraft carriers had been discovered in the surrounding waters!

As it turns out, Ken Motokawa's premonition was quite accurate this time...

When Ken Motokawa saw that at least five enemy aircraft carriers had been spotted, he knew that the Battle of Anma Island was over for them, and there was no chance of turning the tide.

Now, whether he can lead the remaining aircraft carriers and warships to escape the waters off Anma Island has become the biggest test for Ken Motokawa!

"Retreat! Retreat immediately..."

Ken Motokawa gritted his teeth so hard he almost broke them, and reluctantly gave the order to retreat.

He knew that his rejection of the retreat suggestion yesterday had ultimately led to the fleet's current tragic predicament...................

Almost at the same time that Ken Motokawa issued the order to retreat.

The aircraft carrier Yangcheng was hit by multiple torpedoes.

The torpedo attack caused the aircraft carrier "Yangcheng" to lose power and catch fire.

Under these circumstances, the fate of the aircraft carrier "Yangcheng" sinking to the bottom of the sea was inevitable...

The series of bad news almost made Ken Motokawa vomit blood!

-------------------------------------

"Isn't Ken Motokawa known for his caution and composure?"

"They were beaten so badly yesterday, yet they didn't just run away..."

"Perhaps it's because the Japanese headquarters gave Ken Motokawa a death order."

"According to the intelligence we intercepted earlier—didn't the Japanese headquarters order Ken Motokawa to win the Battle of Anma Island at all costs?"

"I reckon—perhaps Ken Motokawa didn't want to run away, but was bound by orders from the Japanese headquarters, forcing him to grit his teeth and continue fighting!"

"It's also possible that the other side was misled by incorrect intelligence and thought they still had the ability to fight our army to the death?"

The naval officers of the Inui fleet were speculating about why Kenichi Motokawa hadn't chosen to flee after his fleet's crushing defeat the previous day.

At this time, no one in the Qian Kingdom knew that the reason why Kenmoto didn't choose to flee immediately was not only because of a serious misjudgment of the Qian Kingdom's fleet.

The most important reason was that the foreign pilot lied to Kenji Motokawa about sinking the Inuit aircraft carrier...

Otherwise, given Ken Motokawa's style of doing things, he would most likely have accepted the suggestion to retreat, instead of staying behind to fight the Qian Kingdom fleet to the death as he is doing now!

"Regardless of the reason why Ken Motokawa did not escape with his remaining troops."

"But since the foreign fleet hasn't fled, we must accept this generous gift that has been delivered to our doorstep!"

Li Enze, the supreme commander of the First Fleet of the Daqian Zhenguo Army, said to everyone with great satisfaction: "Since we didn't run away yesterday, we can forget about running away today."

"Pass down the order—the entire foreign fleet must be annihilated."

"Not a single plane can be spared!"

"It would be even better if we could capture Ken Motokawa himself alive."

"I heard that the army originally intended to capture the barbarian army general alive, but they accidentally killed him instead."

"Let's see if we can capture Ken Motokawa, the legendary admiral of the Japanese navy, alive this time."

"It's probably unlikely..." someone immediately offered an objective analysis: "If it were on land, capturing him alive would be easier."

"But at sea, in this situation, it's easy to be destroyed by torpedoes or bombs."

"Especially a foreign admiral like Ken Motokawa, who 'built' the entire fleet to nothing, how could he possibly have the face to live? Ninety-nine percent of the time, he'd choose to commit suicide..."

"Not necessarily. Yesterday we sank Ken Motokawa's flagship and almost captured him alive."

"Even when the flagship sank, this old bastard didn't commit suicide. He might not take that step in today's situation."

It's clear that the command center on the Qian Kingdom's side is extremely relaxed; the atmosphere shows absolutely no sign of the tension that comes with a major battle.

This stands in stark contrast to the situation in the barbarian countries.

“I think we don’t need to wait any longer.” Li Enze casually instructed the communications officer, “We can send a telegram to the Supreme Command now.”

"Let us tell you that we have made all the necessary preparations to completely annihilate the Honkawa Ken fleet."

"Today we will annihilate the enemy on Anma Island."

"The Honkawa Ken's fleet has absolutely no chance of escaping!"

Li Enze paused, then added, "Let me add one more thing—the Battle of Anma Island will come to a perfect end today..."
