Chapter 1 The New Generation of Japanese Navy

The warm sunshine shines on the body, making people feel an indescribable comfort. The soft spring breeze gently blows over the sea surface, disturbing the direction of the water flow. Under the sunlight, the broken water surface emits countless rays, reflecting

A cracked pattern is formed on the hull.

The weather was surprisingly good, and the people in the port were also surprisingly busy. A large number of naval officers and soldiers wearing white sailor uniforms gathered on the pier and formed a neat formation. They stepped onto the pier one by one and headed towards several black ships docked on the pier.

Huhu walked onto the submarine. When everyone was neatly arranged on the front and rear decks of the submarine, a military band on the dock played "The Worry of the King".

The sailors looked at the dock with nostalgia, at the cherry blossom trees in full bloom, and silently got into the cabin. In the sound of music, the five submarines were slowly pulled away from the dock by the barge, started their own power, and rowed.

Form a straight line and head out of the harbor.

In the spring of 1927, the Japanese Navy's submarine force quietly dispatched from Sasebo Naval Port. There were no family members to see off, and there were no flowers or cheers. This was a secret operation. Five of the Japanese Navy's most advanced Lu-23 submarines would form a formation.

For the first time, I went to the federal waters of the South China Sea for simulated combat training, and by the way, I became familiar with the local sea conditions and submarine topography.

Since the end of the war with the evil neighbor of the South China Sea Federation, r's national strength has recovered very quickly with the strong help of Britain, France, the United States and other countries. After one and a half years of construction, r's domestic economy has returned to what it was before the Sino-Japanese War of 1884-1894.

level, steel production has doubled than before, and industries with basic foundations such as textiles, shipbuilding, handicrafts, etc. are even more prosperous.[

With the improvement of national power, the common people can finally have enough to eat. With the restoration of military strength, politicians and soldiers have also gained capital, so some unharmonious voices have begun to appear in Japan. Now the members of Japan's cabinet

Most of them are members of the military who came to power with the support of Britain, the United States and other countries. Unlike previous cabinet members, they have no experience in this position.

After the experience of Japan turning from prosperity to decline and from strength to weakness, in their eyes, the South China Sea Federation was the biggest obstacle to the development of Japan, and it was also the biggest shame of Japan. The decline of Japan's empire was entirely due to some capable people.

Politicians have controlled the cabinet, and now Japan has the support of the world's two major powers. There is no reason to surrender and be trampled under the feet of the South China Sea Federation.

Although these Japanese cabinet members who are mainly soldiers are arrogant, they are not fools. They know that with their current military strength and national power, they cannot fully compete with the South China Sea Federation, but they are not willing to just watch the South China Sea Federation.

In order to become the king and hegemon in Asia, these people resorted to Japan's original method of dealing with the Qing Dynasty. They started with intelligence to understand the reality within the South China Sea Federation, and then identified its weaknesses and devoted all the efforts of the country.

, one hit to win.

I have learned the saying "Know yourself and your enemy" very well. They have always persisted in carrying out intelligence work in the South China Sea Federation. Even in the most difficult times, our government has also allocated large sums of funds to provide for those lurking and operating in the Federation.

Used by Japanese intelligence officers. In the past few years, Japan's intelligence department has not only been fully funded, but has also received support and cooperation from the intelligence departments of Britain, the United States, France and other countries, which has made their intelligence work within the federation a lot better.

Some achievements have been achieved.

Encouraged by Britain, France, the United States and other countries, our military felt that it could test the strength of the South China Sea Federation. Therefore, the Navy planned an action plan that integrated submarine training, nautical charting, and actual combat exercises. It was very interesting.

It was quickly approved by the military and put into practice.

In the past two years, the Japanese Navy has emerged from the previous haze. Without the constant threat of federal submarines, the Japanese Navy used raw materials and technology provided by Britain, France, the United States and other countries to work day and night, risking their lives to build their submarines.

and surface ships. At the same time, they also received 3 ships resold by the United Kingdom and the United States in accordance with the Washington Naval Treaty

It was stipulated that the main ships should be abolished, and the naval strength quickly returned to a relatively good level. So far, the Japanese Navy has equipped one USS Colorado battleship purchased from the United States, and two Hood-class battleships purchased from the United Kingdom.

A series of cruisers, 2 cruisers purchased from the United Kingdom and 9 destroyers, 2 of which were built domestically.

With these warships, Japan's Navy Ministry is more motivated and confident, but it is not enough for them to have the idea of ​​​​challenging the Federal Navy in the South China Sea. The Imperial Navy was sunk near Taiwan one after another and the South China Sea a few years ago.

With the outstanding performance of submarines and aircraft, the Federation has not forgotten its record of fighting against the British and American navies alone. They also understand that if they do not deal with the submarines of the South China Sea Federation, these surface ships may become targets of the Federation submarines at any time.

.

The reason that makes their hearts start to stir again is the device called "submarine detector" provided by the British. According to the introduction of the British and the many tests conducted by the Japanese Navy itself, this "submarine detector"

"Submarines lurking below the surface can indeed be detected.r

After our navy obtained this device, it couldn't help but be ecstatic. With this device, the submarines of the South China Sea Federation are no longer invincible, and our navy generals firmly believe that as long as they can restrain the submarines of the South China Sea Federation Navy

, then in other aspects, our navy will completely defeat the federal navy.

In order to maximize the function of this device, after the disdainful efforts of Japanese naval researchers, they successfully transplanted this device from surface ships to submarines. However, because its huge receiving device takes up very much space, Japan

The Navy had to reduce the torpedo tubes on the Lu-23 from 8 to 4, to 2 in the front and 2 in the rear. However, r

This modification of our navy has achieved very good results. Submarines equipped with this "submarine detector" can detect the presence of other submarines in the water. Although it is still too precise in determining the exact position, our navy personnel are convinced that

After long-term training, the torpedo crews on those submarines can still capture the position of enemy submarines and launch torpedo attacks.

As a result, the Japanese Navy has preliminary anti-submarine combat capabilities both on the surface and underwater. In their view, the Japanese Imperial Navy is now capable of engaging in an evenly matched naval battle with the South China Sea Federal Navy. The Japanese Imperial Navy

The only thing the navy lacks is the insufficient number of submarines and the insufficient number of experienced submariners, but these can be made up for.

The shortage of submarines is very easy to solve. Japan cannot build that many on its own, so it can entrust the United States and Britain to help build them together. As for the shortage of submarine soldiers, it is also easy to solve. Japan’s navy not only cultivates its own submarine soldiers, but also

A large number of selected Japanese navy soldiers are sent to submarine schools in the United States for training, which can speed up the formation of Japanese submarine forces.

However, this can only solve the problem of quantity. Experience cannot be obtained so easily. Moreover, even the submarine forces of the United Kingdom and the United States are similar to Japan. They are all novice level. It is not certain who teaches whom.

.Since we cannot rely on the help of others, our Navy is ready to gain experience on its own. How to gain it? There is no special way, just

You can rely on more practice and more operations, and this secret submarine expedition plan is the beginning of strengthening the training of the Japanese Navy's submarine force. If this expedition proves that this method is feasible with actual actions, then the Japanese Navy will have more

We will continue this plan in batches and strive to train a submarine combat force of 50 submarines in the next year.

The commander who led the submarine force on this expedition is named Noriichi Kawasaki. He is 41 years old. He is currently the commander of the first submarine fleet group of the Japanese Imperial Navy and has the rank of rear admiral. Listening to his name, you may think of another Japanese.

Celebrities in the navy, Admiral Shiki Kayama, who was the first governor of Taiwan, and Prince Nohisa of Kitashirakawa Palace were sunk by Liu Fu's submarine force on their way to take office.

Yes, this Huashan Jiyi is a descendant of Huashan Ziji, but he is not his son, but his grandson. According to us Chinese, he is the eldest grandson of the eldest family member. Like his grandfather, this person was born in

After graduating from high school, a naval descendant of the Satsuma clan relied on his excellent grades and his grandfather's relationship to become a naval reserve petty officer sent by Japan to study in the UK. After returning to China, Noriichi Kawasama

He served as navigator on a logistics ship, and he worked there for 9 years. It was not that his performance was not good, but that the Imperial Navy basically did not build any new warships in these 9 years. Even if he worked well,

The Admiralty has no place to arrange for him. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian. Your monthly vote and your support are my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go and read.)
