When it comes to traditional technology, Tomoe Ito believes that he will not lose to anyone. When it comes to new technologies, Japan as a whole lags behind, let alone Tomoe Ito.
Radio was born during the World War. It was precisely because of Qin Zhiyuan's promotion that radios were miniaturized and successfully installed on reconnaissance aircraft and command vehicles. The Japanese's understanding of radios is still at the rumor stage and they have never been exposed to it.
, not to mention applications.
After the Yamato arrived at Cam Ranh Bay, the Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard further optimized the Yamato. Its internal structure has been greatly changed, especially the design of the watertight cabin. The Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard is more reasonable. The current Yamato
The exterior looks unchanged, but in fact there have been many changes inside. Kato Fumio explained in a low voice next to Ito Tomoji, and Ito Tomoji noticed that Kato Fumio spoke in Chinese.
Bastards, don't you even want to use Japanese? Before Ito Tomoe could scold him, Inoue Haruto couldn't hold back his temper.
No, but there are regulations in Lanfang that Chinese must be used in Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard. Among the first batch of workers arriving at Cam Ranh Bay, many who cannot speak Chinese are currently studying in language schools. Only by learning Chinese can they
Got a job opportunity. Kato Fumio explained helplessly.
The situation in Japan is actually similar to that in South Korea. Many Japanese elites have no problem reading and writing Chinese. Moreover, because of long-term cultural immersion, many Japanese can be described as China-savvy, which also proves that China is Chinese from another aspect.
The influence of cultural circles.
Elites such as Kato Fumio and Ito Tomoji basically use Chinese. Of course, their daily communication is still mainly in Japanese. However, the scope of using Chinese was gradually shrinking before the war between Lanfang and Japan. There were only a few Japanese in the younger generation.
Can speak Chinese.
It is foreseeable that with the defeat of Japan and the passage of Lanfang's time stationing troops in Japan, more and more Japanese will use Chinese in the future. This situation cannot be changed by Fumio Kato and Tomoji Ito.
.
Damn it, the design of the Nagato is already perfect, how could they change the structure at will? This is really a blasphemy against Nagato. Chiba Taro was heartbroken.
Don't say such things. This is no longer Nagato, but Vladivostok. Go and complete it as soon as possible. It is also our luck to see such a majestic battleship born in our hands. Tomoe Ito has already accepted his fate.
Already.
That was Mr. Ito's clear voice came.
Ito Tomoe looked back and saw that the person speaking was a very young man, only twenty-four or five years old.
Mr. Zhang, this is Mr. Ito. Just now, Mr. Ito wanted to see the latest progress of the Vladivostok, so we did not go to the factory director's office. Please forgive me. Fumio Kato, respectfully.
Hello, Mr. Ito, welcome to the Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard. I am Zhang Youhe, the chief engineer here. Please give me your advice in the future. Zhang Youhe has a very good attitude, and he is concerned about the traditional Japanese etiquette and shakes hands without coming up.
It was a bow.
Mr. Zhang, and I, Tomoji Ito, please give me your advice in the future. Tomoji Ito also has a good attitude, and his bowing angle is more standard than that of Zhang Youhe.
No matter what the Japanese think in their hearts, if you only look at the superficial etiquette, the Japanese are indeed thoughtful and considerate. Especially when the Japanese are in a weak position, the Japanese's etiquette is simply impeccable.
Please, our factory director is waiting for you in the office. You can rest today and start working again tomorrow. Zhang Youhe is considerate of the tired old guys in front of him.
Zhang Jun, I don’t know what the technical parameters of this radio are. Tomoe Ito has no intention of taking a break and wants to learn more about new technologies.
I really don’t know the technical parameters of this radio. The electronics department is responsible for this. You can ask Lao Liang another day. This is the latest model. It is much more powerful than the one in the car. It is the same as the sonar system.
The new equipment of the Vladivostok can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the Vladivostok. Zhang Youhe did not explain much. Technical parameters cannot be leaked casually. Zhang Youhe carefully studied the confidentiality manual.
Could you please introduce the modified Vladivostok? Ito Tomoji humbly asked for advice. He had already unconsciously replaced the Nagato with the Vladivostok.
Of course, come here, let’s talk as we walk. Zhang Youhe has a good attitude and explains as he walks: The biggest modification is the weapon system. After the modification is completed, the Vladivostok will have a complete air defense system, and all the equipment used are professional
anti-aircraft weapons, while retaining the 410mm main gun and dismantling all torpedo launching equipment.
Almost all of these things are public and not confidential, so Zhang Youhe has no intention of hiding anything.
It is understandable to increase anti-aircraft weapons, but why should we dismantle the torpedo launcher? Ito Tomoe felt his heart bleed.
As Taro Chiba said, the Nagato-class battleship is the culmination of the hard work of all military personnel in Japan. Now it has been changed to pieces by Lanfang people. Ito Tomoji really feels that it is a secret investment.
For a long time, although Japan is small, it has been pursuing all kinds of bigness. The tonnage of naval battleships must be larger, the caliber of main guns must be larger, and the caliber of torpedo launchers must also be larger. The Japanese's pursuit of bigness has reached a perverted level.
degree.
At the beginning of the design of Vladivostok, the Japanese arranged 8 torpedo launch tubes on both sides of the battleship Vladivostok. 4 of them were arranged above the water on the left and right sides of the No. 2 chimney, and the 4 underwater ones were arranged behind the No. 1 and No. 4 turrets.
.
With so many torpedo tubes, corresponding torpedoes must be carried, which not only increases the weight of Vladivostok, but also increases the corresponding manpower, but does not have the slightest combat effectiveness. So when the Vladivostok arrived at Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard, Cam Ranh Bay Shipbuilding
The first improvement made by the factory was to dismantle all torpedo launching equipment.
As for adding air defense weapons, this is easy to understand. It is not just the Lanfang Navy that is doing this. Almost all navies around the world have carried out large-scale modifications after the Battle of Cam Ranh Bay and the Battle of Ningbei Port. The main direction of modification is the air defense of warships.
system.
The Battle of Cam Ranh Bay and the Battle of Ningbei Port left a deep impression on people. The emergence of torpedo planes changed the traditional way of naval warfare. The United Kingdom and the United States not only modified the air defense systems of existing warships, but also studied and improved torpedo planes.
and aircraft carriers, striving to catch up with Lanfang and become the world's largest air force.
This is one of the side effects of the Battle of Cam Ranh Bay and the Battle of Ningbei Port, but from the perspective of the overall progress of mankind, this is indeed a good thing, because now the whole world is on the right path, although battleships are still considered the key to determining naval battles
However, compared with the 1920s in another time and space, the importance of aircraft has greatly increased, and it is no longer a dispensable accessory.
In future wars, the role of torpedoes will become smaller and smaller. Battleships and aircraft carriers will become the dominant players on the battlefield. Think about it, whether torpedoes are installed on battleships or destroyers, they have not yet
Once it entered the firing range, it had already been destroyed by the opponent's naval guns and aircraft. From the looks of it, what was the need for torpedoes? Zhang Youhe explained in detail.
How could it be useless? We can study torpedoes with a longer range. Torpedoes will also become a nightmare for warships. Chiba Taro blurted out and successfully earned the glare of Ito Tomoe.
Zhang Youhe just smiled slightly and didn't take it to heart.
Japan is not allowed to retain warships now, so even if the Japanese develop better torpedoes, they will have no use.
At the same time, Lanfang's scientific research department is also studying torpedoes and the progress is going smoothly. Several technical difficulties have been overcome. In time, Lanfang's torpedoes will definitely reach a higher level.
However, there is no need for Zhang Youhe to explain these things to Tomoe Ito. The information on the new torpedoes is confidential, and Tomoe Ito and the others will never be able to reach the level of access to these core technologies.
After listening to Zhang Youhe's explanation, Tomoji Ito no longer wanted to ask further questions.
From the perspective of traditional science and technology, Lanfang's technical background may not be as deep as that of the Japanese, but from the perspective of application of new technologies and understanding of tactics, the Japanese are undoubtedly far behind Lanfang. There is no doubt about this.
Yes, it can be seen from the outcome of the war between Lan Fang and Japan. Japan had almost no power to fight back and was beaten all over by Lan Fang.
Moreover, our current construction method is to build in sections and apply more modular designs. For example, if a battleship like the Vladivostok is built by Lanfang, it can be launched in one year at most. It does not take two or three years at all.
Years passed. Zhang Youhe showed off intentionally or unintentionally.
The segmented manufacturing method is not a secret. The Americans are currently applying it. Otherwise, during the World War, the Americans would not have been able to complete the world record of 14 days from laying the keel to launching a warship.
Hearing what Zhang Youhe said, Tomoji Ito could only remain silent.
The Japanese also understand the segmented manufacturing method, but the Japanese cannot make the segmented manufacturing method a reality.
What do the Japanese say? Their quality is indeed good and their execution ability is sufficient, but in terms of creativity, the Japanese are not even a little bit behind. If you tell the Japanese how to do something, the Japanese can do it for you.
It's perfect, but if you tell the Japanese you're up to it, well, the result can only be a mess.
Just as they were talking, the group of people had arrived at the office of Huang Yinrong, the director of the Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard. They looked at Huang Yinrong who was standing in the prime of life at the door of the office, and then looked at Taro Chiba and the others behind him who looked ashen and lifeless.
