As for the reason for the sinking of the Akashi protection cruiser, this matter remained an unsolved mystery until decades later, because everything that could be investigated sank with the Akashi protection cruiser to the bottom of the sea, and later generations and even those at the time could not understand what caused the battleship to sink like this...... Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The captain of a U.S. submarine that was nearby at the time was questioned by the U.S. government after returning home, and the former admitted that he absolutely did not attack the Japanese fleet, because the six torpedoes he had carried before departure were perfectly brought back to Pearl Harbor.

As for the explosion of the mine, this was later considered to be very unlikely, because neither side had laid mines in this area, and as for the anchor chain of the mine was broken, causing a certain mine to float over and then crash into the battleship, this probability is really low!

The Americans later believed that this responsibility was on the Japanese side. And the Japanese retorted, how could Lao Tzu's ship explode if it was so good? As a result, two years later, after the explosion of another Japanese armored cruiser Izumo in Manila Bay, everyone realized that the Bismarck Sea incident was really ...... the Japanese themselves.

What the world did not expect was that as the only outlier in this world, Prince Ruprecht immediately decided that the self-explosion of the Akashi may be Japan's own trouble, and it may not be clear that the specific cause is not clear, and it is not certain that it is a man-made accident or the temperature of the ammunition depot is too high, but eighty percent will be the pot of the Japanese, because there is no shortage of such incidents in the history of the Japanese navy!

Later generations have these statements on the Internet about the navies of various countries before the war, and the Germans are big ships carrying small cannons. The British were battlecruisers who lit firecrackers, so what about the Japanese Navy? The training intensity of "Moon Moon Fire Water Wood Gold Gold" is one. But the battleship has nothing to do to blow itself up, and it definitely counts as one! Because the frequency and "record" of the self-explosion of Japanese battleships is a bit too much!

Who was the first battleship to self-detonate in the old Japanese Navy? The famous Mikasa! ON SEPTEMBER 11, 1905, JUST A WEEK AFTER THE CONCLUSION OF THE TREATY OF PORTSMOUTH BETWEEN JAPAN AND RUSSIA, IN THE EARLY HOURS OF THE MORNING, NEAR THE 152MM AMMUNITION DEPOT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE REAR OF THE BATTLESHIP MIKASA MOORED AT PIER 10 OF SASEBO MILITARY PORT, A LARGE NUMBER OF WHITE EYES SUDDENLY ERUPTED, AND EXPLOSIONS WERE CONSTANTLY HEARD. At least 500 of the ship's 858 officers and men returned to the ......arms of a certain aunt together with the flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet, a hero in the Russo-Japanese War.

And this was just the beginning, after the "Three Great Masters" opened the record, on April 30, 1908, at 4:08 a.m., near Magong Island in the Penghu Islands, the Songdao, which served as a training ship, suddenly exploded next to the Hashitachi of the same class! This time the outbreak was very crisp and thorough, directly opening a large hole on the starboard side, and the battleship instantly tilted 5 degrees, then 16 degrees, and finally sank directly to the bottom of the sea.

Although the number of casualties this time is not large, only 207 people, but "the quality is still very high"! Not to mention anything else, there is a buddy named Da Shan Gao, and he has a father named Da Shan Yan ....... (If you don't know, you can Baidu it.) And because it was a training ship, the bombing directly led to the death of 33 marine 35th second lieutenant candidates.

And the third buddy who blew himself up is also quite famous, in 1917, after the European battlefield had become a pot of porridge, after the glorious Battle of Jutland became the swan song of battleships, the Japanese Navy, which was unwilling to be lonely, did something to attract the attention of the world.......

At around 3 p.m. on January 14, 1917, the Japanese battlecruiser Tsukuba, which had just been off the air in Yokosuka, was accompanied by a earth-shaking explosion, and a huge fireball rose from the foredeck of the Tsukuba! The explosion of the front ammunition depot of the capital ship of the Japanese Navy, the same very sudden event, the same devastating blow, the front part of the battleship was almost blown off, and then sat and sank to the bottom of the sea. There is no need to check this incident, it is the pot of the main artillery ammunition depot, simple and clear.

However, not long after the battlecruiser Tsukuba hung up, another Japanese battleship also successfully completed the feat of "self-detonation"! This self-explosion is not trivial, this is the first 20,000-ton battleship of the Japanese Navy to self-detonate! On July 12, 1918, the battleship Hanoi, the last Japanese quasi-dreadnought, or the first class of Japanese dreadnoughts, exploded at the Deshan Bay military port.

The whole process went like this, at 3:51 p.m., there was a suspected explosion at the starboard ammunition depot in the front of the Hanoi, and a few minutes later, disaster came, the same foredeck, and the explosion like a volcanic eruption directly blew the entire front of the battleship into a pile of debris! In just 4 minutes, the Japanese first-class dreadnought sank to the bottom of the sea, and then the propeller and butt were exposed to the surface .......

As a dreadnought, the "results" of this bombing were very impressive, and about 600 lives of about 600 officers and men of the whole ship were wiped out in the fire and explosion. And then the ship sank like that......

The explosion of the Hanoi was sensational, exciting, and brilliant, but compared to a certain self-explosion in the 2nd World War, it was definitely a drop in the bucket! This battleship is the unprecedented time in the history of the world's battleship self-explosion, and the current unparalleled explosion time of the battleship Michinoku!

On June 8, 1943, the battleship Mutsu, which was anchored in Hiroshima and was once one of the "Big Seven", suddenly exploded, the same secret explosion, the same fatal, the same dry sinking ship, and the Mutsu, which was known as the "national battleship" when it was in service that year, did not die under the guns of the opponent's battleship, did not die under the attack of the terrifying bombers of the US imperialism, but finally fell into the ......hands of its own people.

From this point of view, there is a glorious tradition of self-detonation of Japanese battleships! At this moment, the Akashi of this plane is not a battleship detonating itself, it represents the glorious tradition of the combined fleet of the old Japanese Navy! At this moment! Mikasa, Matsushima, Tsukuba, Kawachi, and Mutsu-class battleships of another plane are possessed by souls! However, more than other contemporaries of the Japanese Navy, the timing of the Akashi's self-detonation was too sensitive, which directly caused a series of problems and ......troubles in addition to the self-detonation.

If the self-detonation of the old Japanese Navy ends here, then it is not enough to prove the horror of this tradition and the inevitability of history! Because someone will ask a question, why did the Japanese battleships sink after they blew up, and are there any battleships that sank after the self-explosion? Absolutely!

The third is more present~~~! Ladies and gentlemen, if you think today's content is a bit interesting, then support it?!
