INMEDIATELY ALL ASSETS WERE RE-DEPLOYED FROM SOUTH SEAS - READY FOR OPERATIONS AGAINST AMERICANS AT SANTA CRUZ ISLAND - AND CARDIV2 - CARDIV 5 - BATDIV 2 & BATDIV 3 ELEMENTS DEPARTURED FROM TRUK TO SINGAPORE. HIJMS AKAGI JOINED THEM FOUR DAYS AFTER THEIR ARRIVAL TO SINGAPORE NAVAL STATION. SHE WAS STEAMING FROM HOME AFTER URGENT REPAIRS AND REFITS.
2.- AT SINGAPORE, INSTRUCTORS AND HIGH SKILL PILOTS WERE TAKEN LIKE REEMPLACEMENTS FOR THE AIR COMPLEMENT OF OUR CARRIERS. MY FLAG ON HIJMS AKAGI.
3.- SEVEN DAYS AGO THE FLEET DEPARTURE FROM SINGAPORE AFTER BE REPLENISHED. ALL ELEMENTS TAKE THE SOURTHERN WAY TO BATAVIA AND THEN TO INDIAN OCEAN.
4.- THREE DAYS AFTER OUR DEPARTURE FROM JAVA PORT, OUR FLOAT PLANES SEARCHING ENEMY TARGETS REPORTED AN ENEMY CARGO CONVOY, ALL ENEMY SHIPS (5) WERE SENT TO THE BOTTOM BUT THE SURPRISE WAS LOST. OUR OPTION WAS TO WITHDRAW, BUT ORDERS WERE VERY CLEAR: "YOU MUST TO ERRADICATE THE ROOTS OF SIN, ELIMINATE THE ENEMIES OF EMPEROR ATCEYLON, DESTROYING ALL ROYAL NAVY ASSETS"
5.- THIS MORNING, RADM RENZO TANAKA REPORTED ENEMY LIGHT SHIP SPOTTED. QUICKLY SUNK PROBABLY SHE SENT ALARM TO CEYLON. WE AWAIT HEAVY RESSISTANCE OVER CEYLON SKIES.
6.- LIKE PRE-PLANNED AT SINGAPORE, OUR FIGHTERS TAKE OFF TO SWEEP AT MORNING AND SMASH ENEMY CAP. IN OUR FIRST WAVE 11 A6M2 FLYING FROM CARDIV2 REPORTED 33 ENEMY FIGHTERS OVER COLOMBO NAVAL STATION. WE LOST 4 A6M2 WITH ONLY 1 SEA HURRICANE DESTROYED. THE SECOND WAVE WITH OUR MORE VETERAN PILOTS ON 19 A6M2 REPORTE ONLY 20 BRITISH FIGHTERS DESTOYING 3 OF THEM WITH ONLY 1 A6M2 DOWNED.

HEAVY DAMAGES ON AIR FACILITIES: 9 AIRBASE, 3 AIRBASE SUPPLY AND 62 RUNWAY HITS. OVER PORT, 1 BOMB WAS REPORTED ON HMS CORNWALL AND 2 HITS ON PORT. 1 ENEMY FIGHTER WAS DESTROYED ON GROUND BY OUR BOMBS.
8.- OUR SUBMARINES REPORTED THE SINK OF ONE ENEMY CARGO SHIP FLEEING FROM CEYLON, SHE WAS AROUND NORT MALE AT MALDIVE ISLANDS. OTHER SUBMARINE REPORTED TWO ENEMY BRITISH CARRIERS STEAMING FAST TO NORTH WEST 500 NM OF OUR POSITION.
THE ENEMY WILL LEARN A HEAVY LESSON.... IF THE EMPIRE IS DAMNED BY ONE ENEMY BOMB, WE WILL STRIKE BACK WITH THOUNSANDS. GENERAL CHASE ORDERER TO DESTROY ENEMY CARRIERS !!! WE ARE STEAMING FAST WITH BATDIV2 AND BATDIV3 LOOKING FOR A GENERAL MEETING WITH ROYAL EASTERN FLEET. I HOPE TOMORROW MORE NEWS WILL COME TO YOUR HEADQUARTERS WITH THE ANNOUNCE OF SINKING OF SEVERAL ENEMY HIGH VALUE TARGETS. WE WILL NOT BACK TO HOME UNTIL THE LAST BOMB WILL HAVE BE DROPPED OVER THE ENEMY !!
IF WE WILL NOT RETURN, WE WILL SEE YOU AT YASUKUNI. THE TIME OF THE EMPIRE HAS COME!
LONG LIVE TO THE EMPEROR !!!!
