It had taken months to redploy 140+ divisions and to organise everything. One last enemy remained that could one day challenge the Reich. The invasion plans were delayed again and again until one fine summers day 1943
Combat immediately broke out between several fleets at sea. During the peace time Germany had surrounded every sea zone blockading Japan. A mixture of type VII and IX submarines started sending several minor Japanese fleets to the bottom. One original production line remained from 1936 that was still producing a few type VII subs mostly to replace the rare casualty. The production line was currently producing its 28th submarine flotilla.
Admiral Donitz in command of 12 flotillas of type IX subs encountered a lare Japanese fleet. Thankfully for him Vice Admiral Burchardi with a battlecruiser SAG was there and immediately engaged the Japnese fleet. Raking the Japanese ships he claimed a light cruiser before the Japanese managed to slink off. Immediate pursuit was ordered.
