After learning the news, the British government's hatred of the South China Sea Federation increased a bit. However, since the transaction between the South China Sea Federation and the Chilean government has basically been completed, the Chilean ship purchase money has arrived through saltpeter.
Federation, and the Federation's submarines also arrived at the Chilean port after the Chilean saltpeter arrived. Now, dozens of officers of the South China Sea Federation Navy are beginning to train submarine forces for the Chilean Navy at a naval base in Chile.
Since the newly signed "Washington Naval Treaty" does not stipulate restrictions on submarines, the British cannot use the treaty to accuse the South China Sea federal government. Since they cannot stop it, they must find ways to minimize the harm to themselves. This
It was a very normal logic, so the British government was added to the list of people who came to discuss the purchase of federal submarines.
As time goes by, more and more countries have learned from different channels that the South China Sea Federation is selling submarines, and they have also joined in. Among them are Argentina and Brazil, which are also in South America with Chile, as well as Italy and France.
European countries, even small countries such as Greece, Belgium, Norway, and Denmark, have become interested in federal submarines.
Facing more and more interested buyers, Liu Fu basically refuses to come. As long as you are willing to pay, we are willing to sell. Since we have already planned to sell, there is nothing to hide. In fact, even if the South China Sea Federation
Without personally selling submarines to competing or conflicting countries, those countries that purchased submarines would have no control over reselling these submarines to the Federation. Although the Federation is now considered a military power, it is still far from the status of the world's policeman.
Far. There is no global deterrence at all.
Speaking of submarines, the killers in the sea, they are really a weapon for coastal defense for many countries with weak navies. These countries do not have the ability to equip large naval fleets, but they have the need to defend their own territorial waters, and submarines that are economical and have multiple functions can be used.
became their first choice.
Naval ships like submarines are different from ordinary surface ships. They require high protection, high firepower, and high investment, and they do not need to face the enemy face-to-face. Instead, they choose high concealment, high attack power, low investment, and surprise.
The development direction of killing with one hit. Moreover, as a kind of naval ship, submarine also has special
It has a very wide range of uses. It can secretly lay mines in enemy ports. It can also be used to block the waterway of its own port. It can sneak into enemy territorial waters to sneak attack enemy ships, or it can huddle in front of the home, waiting for prey to be delivered to its door; it can do it alone.
One person can wander around looking for enemies. You can also form a group to set up an ambush.
Moreover, the maintenance cost of submarines is lower than that of large and medium-sized surface ships. But its deterrence against enemies is unambiguous at all. No naval fleet in the world is willing to operate in sea areas where submarines are active, because no matter how you
No defense can prevent a submarine from suddenly launching an attack. Unless you can detect and sink it.
These advantages and strengths just met the needs of weak naval countries for their own coastal defense, and the low cost and subsequent maintenance costs were more suitable for their appetites. As a result, federal submarines began to sell so well that the federal navy had to withdraw from the active submarine force.
More naval officers will be mobilized to participate in the later personnel training of the buyer. After all, buying a submarine is not like buying a washing machine. You can just move it home and plug it in. Although submarines have many advantages, they also have many disadvantages.
There are few, and the biggest disadvantage is that personnel training is very complicated.
The training of submariners must not only meet the requirements of ordinary sailors, but also have higher requirements on the psychological quality and discipline of personnel. Since submarines need to lurk underwater for a long time, the officers and soldiers on board are like living in a
In the living coffin, there is no sound of wind, no rain, no sunrise, no sunset, and no waves. There is only the monotonous sound of the machine rotating. In addition, there is no distinction between day and night in the submarine, and the air is extremely dirty. If a normal person
Without long-term training, you simply cannot adapt to life in a submarine.
Moreover, submarines have no eyes underwater and rely entirely on sonar and charts to navigate. The danger is very high. If you are not careful or make an operational error, dozens of people on the entire boat may die underwater. And according to the current situation,
The technical conditions of the submarine are limited. Once a submarine has an accident underwater and is unable to surface on its own, then the personnel on the submarine will basically be sentenced to death, and the chance of rescue will be zero.
In addition, the space of a submarine is limited. In order to be able to store more equipment, weapons and fuel, the living space inside the submarine is extremely small. Even the captain only has a small grid of about 3 square meters to serve as a lounge. Therefore, when the submarine sets sail,
It is impossible to carry a large amount of fresh vegetables, meat, and fruits, so that when timely supplies cannot be obtained, everyone on the submarine can only live on canned food.
Poor living environment, pig-like food, constant danger, strict discipline, and high-pressure working environment make the chance of becoming a qualified submariner or submarine officer very low, even after decades of research and development of submarine forces.
The South China Sea Federation Navy's final pass rate in submarine training was less than 40%. So
It is said that the determining factor of whether a submarine can obtain commensurate combat effectiveness is not how fast the submarine can drive, nor how deep the submarine can dive, nor how accurate the submarine's torpedoes are, but how accurate the submarine's torpedoes are.
The question is whether there is an excellent commander on board the submarine, whether there are several dedicated officers, and whether there is a group of qualified submariners.
Therefore, just purchasing a federal submarine is just the beginning, and later training is the focus. Liu Fu and the federal navy took advantage of this opportunity to conduct submarine training among the federal navy submarine officers and soldiers who went to naval bases in various countries to train sailors from the buying countries.
, a number of agents from the Military Intelligence Bureau were deployed, allowing them to make full use of this machine that allowed them to have close contact with the navies of various countries.
Yes, try your best to collect the navy, army and air force intelligence of the host country. The more detailed the better. This information will be recorded in encrypted form and then forwarded to the host country’s Ministry of Internal Affairs agents or federal diplomats, who will then use it.
The wireless telegrams were sent back to the Federal Ministry of Defense. After analysis and sorting by professionals, military files of various countries were created for future reference.
However, there are exceptions, such as the Japanese Navy. Since the two countries are still at war, although there has been no substantive war for more than ten years, and the federal navy's blockade of Japan has gradually been relaxed due to international public opinion, regardless of whether the United States
Even the British government's many mediations failed to get the federal government to agree to lift the state of war, which means that both countries can launch attacks on each other at any time without worrying about violating national laws.
The long-term existence of this state has no real impact on the federation, because the South China Sea Federation does not need to import many things, and the navy of the South China Sea Federation is much more powerful than the Japanese navy. It will occupy a leading position in this long-term confrontation.
Taking the initiative, that is to say, the current situation is that the Federation can fight if it wants to, but Japan cannot fight if it wants to.
Even if you don't want to fight, you can't do it. This makes the Japanese government very uncomfortable, and it also has a great impact on Japan's domestic economic development, because the Japanese government has to spend part of its funds to strengthen its ports and coastal defenses in key cities, and Japan
Many cargo ships dare not pass through the waters near the Federation, which seriously affects Japan's foreign trade.
This time, the Japanese Navy also bought three "Big Yellow Croaker" submarines from the federal government through the British Navy, and the price was really cheated by the British. However, because this transaction was not the same,
The Federation Navy achieved this, so the later personnel training alliance was no longer available. The Japanese Navy could only get back three Federation submarines, fully study them, and then use them as prototypes for further improvement and development. As for the impact of this on Japan
How beneficial the development of submarines can be depends on the skills of Japanese naval experts.
In addition to purchasing the submarine itself, several countries have made requests to purchase technology and authorize production this time, including the British Royal Navy, the Italian Navy and the French Navy. However, this time the Federal Navy did not agree to their requests. (Unfinished)
