The Fleet of the Rising Sun faces another round of attacks by the Kriegsmarine fleet led by Admiral Alfred von Rabe. The two forces clash southeast of Greenland in early December 1949, with the Germans launching their Sea Drakken fighters and ME-462 bombers against the Yamato Takeru. The Japanese in turn, attack the German fleet carriers. Aboard the German flagship Lothringen, Von Rabe is considering withdrawing, but his junior, Wilhelm Rosenberg, knocks him out with a pistol whip and orders the battleships to cross the T and fire at the Yamato Takeru. However, the ship avoids the barrages using its advanced turbofan thrusters and special anti-torpedo cannons, allowing enough time for the I-3000 to get through and destroy the battleships. Meanwhile, the Germans push back the Allied invasion of Europe (despite the US launching a second invasion, named Operation Nirvana) and force an armistice on them. They also complete their conquest of southern England.
