The next day, the three parties began their official visit. The first was a military exchange on land, at the Japanese Navy's land training base in Nagasaki, and the program was somewhat similar to that of the Army.

This time, the visiting fleet of East China ** also brought a company of marines, and this time they were to participate in all the competitions.

Although in this era, except for East China, other countries do not have a formal establishment of marines, but in the navies of major countries, there will generally be a small number of troops responsible for landing operations, so there are also combat training projects on land in the navy, and today's exercise projects do not require soldiers on warships to participate.

However, after the start of the competition, the performance of the Marine Corps in East China surprised the officers and soldiers of the United States and Japan, because the Marine Corps in East China is a formal military establishment, and the selection of soldiers is also the best of the best, and the training is not only strict, but also specifically for landing operations and operations in the shore and beachhead areas in various environments, which is extremely systematic, and is far from being comparable to the landing combat units in the United States and Japan.

Although in order to avoid conflicts, this land exercise did not set up a direct confrontation between the two sides, but the soldiers of the three sides demonstrated their training and combat skills. However, whether it is in a variety of shooting skills, bayonet fighting, hand-to-hand combat, throwing and other combat skills display, or swimming, weight-bearing cross-country, crossing obstacles, climbing high and low bottom and other action skills display, East China's most advanced marines have shown extremely high military quality and solid basic skills, and obviously much better than the Japanese and American landing combat soldiers.

From the point of view of the Japanese Navy, it is the individual combat technical quality displayed by this group of marines in East China, even in the Japanese Army, it is also a top rank. You must know that although the Japanese Army was criticized in many aspects during the Far Eastern War, such as sluggish command, rigid tactics, and insufficient adaptability, it was recognized by the world as outstanding in terms of personal combat quality and spiritual morale. Therefore, even though this group of East China Marines is an elite selected from the military, their quality should not be underestimated.

As a matter of fact, the Far East War had a great impact on world wars, and new weapons and tactics were used in large quantities, and all countries set up special research institutes, among which landing operation tactics were one of the new tactics that most countries attached great importance to, because before that, there had never been a landing operation in the real sense, and landing in a war was generally to choose a coast where the enemy was not defended or poorly defended, and to transport soldiers ashore in small boats. In the previous Sino-French War, the French army landed in Taiwan, and the Japanese army landed in Shandong in the First Sino-Japanese War.

However, although this landing method can avoid the enemy's shore-based defense, it is very difficult to transport heavy weapons and logistical materials ashore, because the enemy's undefended or poorly defended coasts are often coastal places where it is more difficult to land, and in the present era when heavy weapons and logistics are becoming increasingly important in warfare, this landing method is obviously unable to adapt. Moreover, as countries pay more and more attention to shore-based coastal defense, it will be difficult to find undefended or poorly defended coastlines in future wars.

In this Far East War, East China launched several landing operations in succession, all of which were selected as the enemy's key coastal areas, but they also achieved great successes, which not only made the Marine Corps of the People's Army Navy famous, but also made the landing operation tactics officially appear on the stage of war, and at the same time made all countries realize the importance of the Marine Corps, so some countries have begun to prepare for the formation of the Marine Corps.

Although Japan and the United States have not yet established the Marine Corps, both countries are maritime countries, and attach importance to the construction and development of the Navy, so they naturally know the importance of the Marine Corps, but Japan has just suffered a crushing defeat and suffered a serious loss of vitality, and the Navy has only begun to rebuild, and the main task of the United States is to sail around the world, so it has not taken care of the affairs of the Marine Corps, but the relevant theoretical research has already begun to be done. Now we have seen the performance of the Marine Corps in the exercise, which has strengthened the plan of the two countries to establish and vigorously develop the Marine Corps.

After the exercise, the soldiers of the three sides had dinner together and performed some individual talent performances of the soldiers to liven up the atmosphere and increase the mutual understanding and friendship between the soldiers of the three sides. At the dinner, there was basically no communication between the soldiers of East China and Japan, but the American GIs showed a lot of jumps, and frequently came to the ranks of the soldiers of East China and Japan to find people who performed well in the drill and express their admiration, because the navy of East China and Japan will teach English, and the general communication between the soldiers is not a big problem. Of course, if you talk happily, you will naturally have a drink, anyway, the matter of the land combat troops is only this day, and after today, there will be no business for them, so it doesn't matter if you get drunk.

On the one hand, this is due to the fact that Americans have a cheerful personality, strong social skills, and a wide range of hobbies; on the other hand, the United States has maintained relatively good relations with East China and Japan, and there is no hostile feelings; although Americans have a natural sense of racial superiority over Asians, Japan is the host, and it always has to give others some face, and East China The soldiers are sincerely admired, Bi Jing won the Far East War, and the four countries of Britain, France, Japan and Russia were violently hammered, and several countries could do it, and the Americans also advocated force and respected heroes, so they naturally had a different attitude towards East China.

This was followed by a joint exercise at sea, and the warships began to sing the leading role, although this time East China only sent 4 warships, and they were all cruisers, the largest tonnage was only 7300 tons, not only can not be compared with the US Navy, but compared with the Japanese Navy, it is also a big difference, although the Japanese Navy is still in the reconstruction period, but it can also pull out 2 17000-ton battleships, 2 10,000-ton armored cruisers, and a few more protective cruisers, so in comparison, East China ** of the fleet is much shabby.

However, in the exercise, these warships in East China are still eye-catching, and in the queue change exercise, they give full play to the advantages of the cruiser's maneuverability and flexibility, not only the time to complete is short, but also the action is uniform, and in the sea shooting exercise, both the rate of fire and the hit are higher than the warships of Japan and the United States. The US Navy has just begun to expand its scale, and although it has built quite a few warships, its training level has not kept up, and it lacks actual combat experience; the Japanese Navy has a lot of actual combat experience and is very strict in training, but it suffered too many casualties in the Far East War, and most of the crew members are novices, so naturally it cannot be compared with a large number of well-trained warships in East China and have participated in actual combat.

In addition to the drills, the three countries also organized dinner parties at sea, and the atmosphere of the exercise was quite harmonious.

By the time the fleet returned to shore, it was the last day of the visit, and a party was held on the shore, with all but the necessary personnel left behind on the warship. Of course, the United States can only draw some people from various warships to participate, otherwise it will not be able to put it on the shore.

In the morning, a three-country football match was held, and the soldiers from the three countries organized teams to take turns to play a 45-minute game. This is also the only time during this visit that there was a direct confrontation between the two sides.

In the army of East China, whether it is the navy or the army, football has always been the most important and popular sports activity, on the one hand, because most of the veteran officers like football and weave themselves; on the other hand, football is not only conducive to the soldiers' physical fitness, but also can cultivate the soldiers' sense of teamwork and collective spirit, which is really the most suitable sports for the army. Because the football knowledge of the veterans, the level of skills and tactics are far beyond this era, so under their teaching, although the army's football team is amateur, but the level of this era is absolutely the highest, in East China's rare exchange activities with foreign armies, the football team of the East China army has left a deep impression on each other.

This time is naturally no exception, the Three Kingdoms Football Match, East China ** first faced the United States, and then played Japan, each for a 45-minute game, and finally the United States and Japan for another game, the result of East China ** really did not pay expectations, both games ended 3-1, and the whole game basically controlled the situation, so that the opponent had almost no chance, the goal conceded, but also in the last 10 minutes of the game, deliberately released water, let the opponent score a goal, in order to save a little face. In the final match between the United States and Japan, the United States won 2-1.

However, although it is a direct confrontation between the two parties, after all, it is only a sports competition, the nature of entertainment is greater than the nature of confrontation, and no one takes it too seriously, so the soldiers participating in the competition are very civilized, there is basically no deliberate foul, and even the physical confrontation is not very intense, someone falls down and someone immediately goes to help, the atmosphere is quite friendly, the losing side is not very frustrated, and someone scores, all parties are cheering for him, and the scene is very warm.

After the end of the game, the dinner began, and this time the three parties drew cooking personnel from the warship to prepare food on the spot, and the soldiers of the other two countries could taste it at will, and the soldiers could also move around at will and communicate with the soldiers of the other two countries. After all, after four days of training together, there was less separation between each other, more familiarity, and even some soldiers made friends.

Of course, it was the American soldiers who were the most active, and at the beginning of the dinner, they ran more than half of the time, all of them went to East China** or Japan, tasted the food there, communicated with the soldiers they knew, and some invited reporters to take pictures or give each other souvenirs.
