In February of this year, the Japanese cabinet passed the so-called "Imperial Defense Policy", which clearly regarded Russia and southern Africa as Japan's biggest enemies on land and sea respectively, which triggered a series of magic for the Japanese Army and the Japanese Navy.
operate.
The Japanese Navy has been in a lot of trouble recently. After both the imperial twins were killed, the Japanese Navy's shipbuilding strength declined rapidly. While southern Africa and the United States were building aircraft carriers aggressively, the Japanese Navy devoted all its salutes to the "Yamato" and was unable to do so.
Following up, the Japanese Navy's cool operation came. In order to fight against the powerful mechanized forces in southern Africa, the Japanese Navy decided to build a medium tank to strengthen the Japanese Navy's defense capabilities.
It's amazing. When the navy wants to strengthen its strength, it doesn't build warships, but instead builds tanks. The Empire of Japan is so magical.
There is something even more magical.
The main tanks currently equipped by the Southern African Army are medium tanks by Southern African standards and out-and-out heavy tanks by Japanese standards.
The total weight of the "Leopard" tank in southern Africa reaches 35 tons. After replacing the engine, the "Leopard" can reach an astonishing maximum speed of 70 kilometers per hour in the wild.
Japan's latest Type 89 medium tank has a total combat weight of 12.7 tons, a maximum speed of 25 kilometers per hour, a maximum range of 140 kilometers, and a 37mm tank gun as its main gun.
The main gun is also the most dissatisfied part of the Japanese Navy.
Not to mention the larger-caliber "Tiger", the main gun caliber of the "Leopard" tank in southern Africa has reached 75 mm, and the 37 mm is the most anti-aircraft gun in southern Africa.
Therefore, the Japanese Navy hopes to install a 120mm short-barreled howitzer on the Type 89 tank so that it can compete with the "Leopard" tanks in southern Africa.
Presumably the Japanese tank designers were in a state of collapse when they learned of the Japanese Navy's requirements.
But this is not unusual. The Japanese Navy has always been very magical. The 533-ton Chidori-class torpedo boat can be equipped with three 127mm naval guns, plus two twin 533mm torpedo launchers, so 11.5
It seems reasonable to install a 120mm short-barreled howitzer on a Type 89 medium tank with a capacity of 1,000 tons.
You have a medium tank with a 37mm anti-aircraft gun. Are you sorry?
When the Japanese Navy started building tanks, the Japanese Army was not idle either.
In order to provide better cover for the army, the Japanese Army decided to build an aircraft carrier
Really, whoever is telling lies is a puppy? The Japanese Army has really decided to build an aircraft carrier and has already put it into action.
About two months ago, the Japanese Army found a passenger ship, installed a flight deck on the hull of the passenger ship, converted the passenger ship into an aircraft carrier, and named it "Akitsu Maru".
The "Akitsu Maru" has a displacement of 11,800 tons, a total length of 161 meters, and a maximum speed of 20 knots. Due to the lack of a hangar, the carrier-based aircraft on the "Akitsu Maru" can only park on the deck.
And because a certain amount of space must be reserved for aircraft to take off and land, the "Akitsu Maru" can only carry eight aircraft.
Do you think this is the end?
not at all.
Because the flight deck of the "Akitsu Maru" is not long enough, Japan's latest aircraft can only take off but cannot land. The Japanese Army had to dig out the Type III command and liaison aircraft from the decommissioned warehouse and use them as carrier-based aircraft.
The command liaison aircraft cannot be used as either a fighter or a bomber, and can only be used for air liaison. Therefore, the Japanese Army gave the aircraft carrier a new purpose, which is to provide logistical supplies to the Japanese Army in critical situations.
The Japanese Army is probably the only country in the world that has the luxury of using aircraft carriers as transport ships.
This is not over yet. It is probably because the "Akitsu Maru" failed to fully meet the needs of the Japanese Army. Therefore, the Japanese Army built one "Akitsu Maru" and it was not enough. It also had to continue to build the "Shenshu Maru", "Kumano Maru" and "Senju Maru".
Planting Pills".
In fact, the data of the following pills are probably similar to those of "Akitsu Pill".
The Japanese Army probably felt that since it could not compare with the aircraft carriers in Southern Africa in terms of quality, it would simply compare with the Southern African Navy in terms of quantity, and at the same time compare with the Japanese Navy.
So far, the Japanese Navy only has two aircraft carriers, except for the "Hosho" that cannot go to sea, plus the "Akagi", which has been built and stalled due to insufficient materials and has not yet been launched.
The Army has four ships!
It’s amazing!
Japan is so magical.
The "Akiyuki" destroyer inherited the magic of the Japanese Navy. It was a mere thousand-ton treaty-type destroyer, and it swaggered into the East Indian waters.
Probably the captain of the "Autumn Moon" believed that East India, which did not even have a cruiser, would never dare to attack the "Autumn Moon".
"The East India Navy is a group of cowardless rats. These little rats can only hide under the sea and dare not show their faces at all. As for the bridge of the Akizuki", the captain of the East India Navy is full of confidence.
It seems vulnerable.
"The performance of the ghost submarine East India purchased from Southern Africa is quite good." Chief Officer Oda Takashi was cautious. The East Indian Navy did not dare to attack the "Autumn Moon", but the Southern African Navy certainly did.
As a country of the Southern African Union, East India is protected by Southern Africa, and everyone knows this.
The Changi Squadron has more than 60 combat ships and auxiliary ships in total. Its size is second only to the Indian Ocean Fleet and the Atlantic Fleet in the Southern African Navy. The key warships of the Changi Squadron are all new warships, equipment and equipment that have just been built in recent years.
The combat effectiveness is very strong, but "Qiuyue" has not even been equipped with a radio yet, and its performance is far behind that of destroyers of the same level in southern Africa.
As a member of the London Naval Treaty, Southern Africa is now also subject to the restrictions of the London Naval Treaty. New destroyers cannot exceed the provisions of the London Naval Treaty.
In the past, light cruisers of about 5,000 tons were used as destroyers in southern Africa.
"Don't worry, we already have enough understanding of the performance of the ghost submarine. As long as the East India ghost submarine dares to appear, we will sink it!" Minami Soichiro was confident. The ghost submarine has not been upgraded for more than ten years. As a ship
As an outdated "old" submarine, Minami Soichiro had reason to look down on ghost submarines.
But reality sometimes slaps you in the face.
Before Minami Soichiro finished speaking, less than a hundred meters away from the "Akiyuki", a ghost submarine suddenly surfaced.
Oda Takashi looked at Minami Soichiro worriedly.
Don't fight, don't fight
Minami Soichiro's expression was so gloomy that it seemed like he could drip water. This was too much. Just after he said the cruel words, the ghost submarine appeared next to "Akiyue". To fight or not to fight?
The key point is that the ghost submarine has arrived next to the "Qiuyue", but the "Qiuyue" has not found anything, which is very unreasonable.
So Soichiro Minami glared at communications officer Yu Nakajima with a stern look.
What the hell are you doing!
Nakajima Yu lowered his head and did not dare to look at Minami Soichiro's eyes.
From the beginning, the Japanese Navy has focused all its energy on surface ships and not much energy on submarines, and naturally its anti-submarine technology is not good either.
The sonar used by the Japanese Navy was imported from the United Kingdom and then imitated during the Anglo-Japanese Alliance. Not only was the technology backward, but the Japanese craftsmanship was also inferior. The sonar was far from meeting the requirements and was just a fake.
Therefore, it is normal to be unable to detect the approach of a ghost submarine. The equipment level is just like this, so the requirements cannot be too high.
At this time, a sailor suddenly appeared on the ghost submarine's island, and then began to use semaphores, asking "Qiuyue" to leave the East Indian waters immediately.
"Oh, don't the ghost submarines in southern Africa even have radios?" Minami Soichiro was confident again. This submarine is not good. The ghost submarines sold to East India in southern Africa are probably also castrated versions.
also!
I don’t know if the ghost submarines sold to East India in southern Africa are castrated versions. Anyway, the weapons sold by Britain and the United States to Japan are all castrated versions. When Americans sell scrap metal, they steal scales and don’t even scratch the debris on the bottom of the ship.
shave.
"There should be one, right?" Oda Takashi looked at the antenna next to the ghost submarine island and said nothing. If there is no radio, why do you need an antenna?
"Sir, the East India Ghost Submarine requires us to leave East India waters immediately." Nakajima Yu is very proficient in semaphore.
Minami Soichiro's eyes became even sharper.
Why don't you go do what you're supposed to do? I understand the flag language, right?
"Ignore it!" Minami Soichiro ignored it and continued to move towards Coconut City.
At this time, a "Durban" class light cruiser belonging to the Changi Squadron suddenly appeared in the sea in front of the "Autumn Moon".
The "Durban"-class light cruiser is also a treaty-type cruiser. According to the "London Naval Treaty", the "Durban"-class light cruiser has a full load displacement of 3,100 tons, a maximum speed of 32 knots, and an armament system of two twin-mounted 125mm ships.
It has four twin-mounted 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns, one 25mm anti-aircraft gun, and two five-unit 533mm torpedo tubes.
Last year, Southern Africa refitted all "Durban" class light cruisers. While reducing the number of twin-mounted 125-meter naval guns, the twin-mounted 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns were changed to quadruple-mounted 20mm. At the same time, the number was increased to 20 and 25
The caliber of the anti-aircraft guns was also increased to 40 mm, and the number was increased to 6.
After the upgrade, the "Durban" has its shore attack capability greatly weakened and its air defense capabilities extremely strong. It is a qualified aircraft carrier frigate.
Although the "Durban" puts more capabilities in air defense, in terms of ship attack capabilities, the "Durban" is definitely much stronger than the "Autumn Moon".
After all, the "Durban" has a displacement of 3,100 tons, and the "Autumn Moon" is only 1,500 tons. With twice the tonnage, the "Durban" can knock the "Autumn Moon" out of the East Indian Sea even if it collides.
"Durban" had this idea in mind. After appearing, its speed continued to increase, and it rushed directly towards "Qiuyue".
"It's going to hit," Nakajima Yu screamed, and Minami Soichiro decided to turn around and let this guy retire.
"People in southern Africa don't dare." Oda Takashi was sweating profusely. If it collided with it, the "Autumn Moon" would have to be dragged back for overhaul if it didn't sink.
