Robin did not deliberately want to spy on the secrets of Japanese submarines, because the Japanese submarine force had no secrets in the eyes of the Germans. Not to mention the submarines that have already equipped the fleet, even those models that currently only exist on the drawings, the German Navy top brass knows them well.

Each German submarine captain has a very secret ship identification roster in his hand, which contains the side view and all the technical parameters of the Haida III submarine, so even if Robin finds anything this time, it will at most only prove that the data is not wrong.

However, it is still very meaningful to be able to conduct an on-the-spot investigation, and it is also a rare opportunity for the German Navy to be allowed to enter a Japanese submarine in service. As mentioned earlier, Robin didn't care much about the technical parameters of this foreign submarine, he was more concerned about the morale of the Japanese Navy and the level of training of officers and men, which can be reflected in the situation in the cabin of a submarine.

Robin is an experienced submarine commander who knows how to turn a submarine full of rookie sailors into a ferocious killer lurking underwater. The technological development of weapons and equipment is very important, but just having advanced equipment and not having suitable personnel to operate and use it, then even the most technologically advanced submarines will have several discounts in their combat effectiveness.

By the time Robin boarded the U106, he had already served in the submarine force for many years, and he knew more about the U-boats than the experts who built them. With the rapid expansion of the German submarine force, more and more novices were transferred to combat units, and many of those young U-boat captains were hastily transferred to the cutting-edge submarines that had just been launched after only a few months of internship on a certain training boat. This situation was especially acute in the Type VII submarine detachments, often from the captain to the subordinate officers and even the junior sailors, who were as new as their submarines to make Robin feel dizzy.

Robin doesn't discriminate against rookies, he evolved from them, but he sneers at captains who are clearly untalented, especially those who are self-righteous and unmotivated, as such commanders usually kill entire ships in battle.

Although the German U-boats had a brilliant record in the European War, they were not without losses, and from the beginning to the end of the war, there were already double-digit German U-boats, which could never return to their home port. And the number of survivors on these battle-damaged submarines who were lucky enough to be rescued in the end accounted for less than one-seventh of the total number. If it weren't for the detailed anti-submarine warfare report from the British Royal Navy after the German victory, the families of these people might not even know how and where their sons, brothers, and husbands died in battle.

Robin carefully studied the copies sent by the Navy submarine commander, and the report showed the performance of these submarines before and after the battle, and Robin found that most of the U-boats sunk in the Atlantic Ocean were not due to technical reasons, but because of errors in command and crew operation, which was equivalent to personally sending himself to the mouth of the British anti-submarine ship with outdated technology.

With the anti-submarine technology of the British Royal Navy ships at that time, it was actually difficult to threaten the advanced German U-boats, so as long as the captain's IQ was on the line and the sailor training passed, it should not be difficult to escape from the attack of the British anti-submarine ships.

Robin has always agreed with the statement in the German Navy's submarine textbooks, except for equipment and technical issues, if a submarine wants to have combat effectiveness, in addition to an experienced and tacit cooperation of the officer team, it also needs a group of well-trained and high-morale grassroots sailors, when they are condensed into a united whole, there will be no difficulty that can prevent them from winning victory.

The first impression left by the Yi 60 on Robin was really good, and the clean and tidy command cabin even made the captain sigh, and the completely different cabin layout from the U-boat, such as the rectangular chart table placed in the middle of the cabin, made Captain Robin quite interested. Why did the Japanese put a table in the middle of the command cabin where people were busy, the German captain thought that the Japanese way of thinking was really incomprehensible. What Captain Robin saw next gave him a more intuitive understanding of the Imperial Japanese Navy.

Accompanied by several Japanese officers, Robin and Igor slipped through the circular waterproof door and entered the forward compartment of the I-60, which is the same layout for most submarines in the world, and which is also the daily working and living compartment of Japanese crews.

The closest to the command module is the important telecommunications and hydrophone cabin, which is originally a complete copy of the German model, which may be classified in the eyes of other navies, but it is nothing special for the Germans, so Robin and Igor also looked casually at the door, and by the way, they returned the salute of the two operating soldiers in the cabin.

Opposite the telecommunications room is the captain's quarters, on the side is the officers' quarters, and behind it is the officers' quarters. Except for the captain's cabin, which has a wooden door, the other cabins are only covered by a brown cotton curtain on the door frame.

Robin walked along the corridor, the interior of the Japanese submarine was cleaned quite clean, and according to the introduction of the captain of the flower house, they would arrange soldiers to be responsible for the cleaning work, usually arranged by the captain of each cabin according to the individual performance of the soldiers.

Visited the non-commissioned officer's cabin (here the non-commissioned officer means officer. Afterwards, the two German officers entered the soldiers' quarters, which also felt mechanically orderly, except for the slightly unpleasant stacking of supplies and sundries in various corners of the cabin, which seemed to be the same habit of submarines all over the world, which was to pile up supplies in a seamless manner.

The lieutenant colonel Kijima did not lie, this Japanese submarine had indeed not been out of port for a long time, and unlike the previous neat and clean officer's quarters, all kinds of supplies loaded with cardboard boxes and sacks were almost full of soldiers' quarters.

The Japanese seem to have a preference for storing items in cardboard boxes, many of which are marked in Japanese with the words "Naval Quartermasters" and other words, indicating that these are special products made in the Navy's exclusive factories.

"This is our radish from Japan." A Japanese naval officer dragged a cardboard box from the top bunk of a hammock with the words "Orene" printed in black ink ("Odore" refers to white radish in Japanese, and carrot is pronounced and written as "ginseng".). ）。

"There's about fifteen kilograms in a box here." Hanafang introduced himself to the Germans, and then he motioned for the military to open the lid of the box, revealing the fresh white radish tied with rope inside.

"Okay, we'll give you five boxes of these turnips, Captain Robin. I forgot to ask, do you Germans also eat turnips in your Germany? Guidao interjected curiously.

"Of course we eat turnips, my mother likes to use them to cook vegetable soup, and some people stew it with pork, and it tastes pretty good." Robin replied earnestly.

Of course, the Germans ate turnips, which the Germanic barbarians had been cultivating since Roman times, and were the main food of the Germans before potatoes were introduced to Germany. It wasn't until potatoes began to be cultivated on a large scale in Germany that turnips gradually changed from a staple food to a vegetable to accompany meals.

Because of the lack of preservation means, almost every German family at that time pickled kimchi, pickled radish and pickled cucumber were the most common food in German households, and any one would pickle ten or eight bottles.

In the great famine that broke out in Germany at the end of World War I, because the food was supplied to the army, hundreds of thousands of German civilians died of hunger in Germany at that time, and the surviving Germans will never forget those days when they used all kinds of beans and turnips to satisfy their hunger, and it can be said that turnips saved the lives of thousands of German people.

"Five boxes of white radishes, five boxes of canned sardines." Robin turned to Igor, and the co-captain shrugged his shoulders and nodded.
