Chapter 224: Visiting and Exchanging (Part II)

Although it was already the end of the year, the temperature in the cabin of the U106, which was in the low-latitude zone, still exceeded 27 degrees Celsius. The heat mainly comes from the two large diesel engines in the power compartment, at this time the submarine has turned off the power and opened all the vents, but because the sea is calm and windless at the moment, the heat dissipation effect is not very obvious. The sun shone on the German U-boat, and the steel hull and fore and aft decks were scorched.

The German U-XIB was not designed to have a large teak deck, most of the upper deck was made of steel decks, and the rest of the area was replaced with large pine planks with steel brackets, drain holes, and resin anti-corrosion coatings, while Japanese submarines completely retained the tradition of Japanese naval surface ships, and the entire deck was covered with a teak deck with a drainage gap in the middle.

In terms of sturdiness and slip resistance, the Japanese teak deck is obviously more effective than the perforated pine planks of German U-boats, but it also increases the difficulty of daily maintenance and the risk of fire in surface combat. At the same time, after the deck fragments damaged in anti-submarine warfare float on the surface of the sea, they will also reveal their general underwater position to the enemy's anti-submarine units, and this consequence is often fatal, especially when the opponent still has advanced anti-submarine means in their hands.

The Germans adopted this process probably just to reduce the cost of construction, the German submarine force did not have much budget for shipbuilding from the beginning, and the priority of materials was also very low, while the full-covered teak deck was relatively expensive to reclaim and process, and it took more shipbuilding man-hours.

Historically, only some Type VII submarines have used strip teak decks, which is also due to cost considerations, because strip decks are easier to repair and replace at sea after damage, and Type VII was the main type of German U-boat force at that time, and the intensity of confrontation with enemy anti-submarine forces is very high, and it is often strafed by enemy air units, and deck damage is of course more frequent than other models.

Because he was wearing a regular uniform, Nakasa's head began to sweat a little, but at this time, he couldn't care about the heat and cold, and he only wondered what the Germans were doing this for. Why cover the meter with paint, to be wary of yourself? Why, then, did the Germans allow themselves to enter the cabin? It's a bit illogical. If this is what they think, then why should the Germans be wary of the Japanese soldiers, have they already begun to become hostile to Japan? This was the attitude of the German government or the idea of the German Navy alone, or the idea of an officer on the submarine. Guidao stared at the blurred gauge glass, but his mind was thinking about a bunch of questions.

"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, do you have any questions?" The voice of the German captain interrupted the chaotic thoughts of Nakasa, Kijima.

"Ahh You don't know how to mention this, if the other party doesn't mean that, wouldn't it be rude for you.

It was precisely because of this that Guijima did not start wiping the appearance of the Germans, otherwise he might have changed his name to Kijima Heihachiro. Guidao Osa asked himself if he could compare to the naval god, the Dingyuan was more than three meters high from the deck of the main gun muzzle, and people with white gloves stuck in it to touch it, no wonder Dongxiang could be a naval marshal, and if someone else had that ability, at least he could be a famous basketball player. (A series of rumors about Dongxiang and Dingyuan, which was first made up by his subordinate Major General Ogasawara Changsheng, was originally used to praise the wisdom and martial arts of Lord Togo, and the original version was still Pingyuan, I don't know how it became Dingyuan, and then more than ten versions were derived, and it was praised by the Chinese people since the Republic of China, which is really a wordless thing)

"Oh, that's what you want to ask." Robin stretched out his finger and wiped it on one of the gauge dials.

"It's butter." The captain showed his finger to Guidao and the flower house.

"It turned out to be butter..."Guidao and Hanafang made a look of sudden realization.

"Wait a minute, I don't want to know what you put on it!" Kijima roared inwardly, but he still had a polite smile on his face.

"But why paint this?" Hua Fang asked the question that Guidao wanted to ask the most at this time, and the commander of the diving team instantly increased his favorability towards the only captain under his command by fifty points, if there was a girl on Guidao, he would ask the two of them to marry when he went back.

"Why butter the surface, you ask?" Captain Robin suddenly showed a puzzled expression: "Of course it's for training?" Don't you know this? ”

The two Japanese naval officers shook their heads blankly, and the German captain's expression changed from puzzled to surprised.

"You Japanese Navy don't train like this?" The German captain's eyes widened, as if the Japanese Navy did not know about this practice, what a strange thing.

The two Japanese continued to shake their heads, their expressions a little embarrassed, and the German captain's expression did not look like a pretend, which made them feel like two dirt buns.

"This is to carry out 'unmarked navigation and combat training for the crew of the submarine command module in an abnormal damage environment'." Captain Robin said with a burning voice.

"He said it wasn't normal... What the? ”

"All I heard was training without anything."

The two Japanese navies whispered to each other, and although they didn't understand it at all, it felt like something very powerful.

"I'm sorry, Captain Robin... Can you repeat it again, it's that abnormality.... Something or something. Guidao asked with a red face, this is really embarrassing, obviously people say it so clearly.

"It doesn't matter, Your Excellency Lieutenant Colonel, it's "unmarked navigation and combat training for the crew of the submarine command module in an abnormal damage environment." "Captain Robin was a kind-hearted German who did not hesitate to meet the demands of his Japanese friends.

"Looks like they don't know this, captain, let's take the guests on a tour of the next cabin." Lieutenant Igor said, his expression looking a little stiff.

"No, no, no, we're not in a hurry, please tell us about this training, we're very interested in it." Kijima sensed that the vice-captain seemed to want to divert his gaze, and hurriedly pleaded loudly.

Why cut off the captain's topic in front of the guests, this is not what a vice captain should do, then the answer is obvious, that is, the captain just said that he leaked his mouth and leaked secrets that should not be divulged.

"It doesn't matter, Igor, everyone is a fellow submarine pilot." Fortunately, Captain Robin was a great open-minded man, and he turned down the vice captain's offer.

"The inventor of this method of training is His Excellency the Führer of the Greater German Reich...", Robin straightened his chest.

"Oh, it turned out to be the German Führer Reinhardt. Feng. Stadler Hall. The Japanese were in awe, the heroes of the conquest of Europa.

Both the military and the civilian in Japan are now extremely sought after by the German head of state, and they are much more fanatical than those so-called star chasers in later generations. With his peerless appearance, I don't know how many Japanese women he has charmed, how many Japanese deep ladies and young people have been charmed... Ahh The girl, holding the picture of the German Führer every night and falling asleep with tears.

The Japanese men who were full of jealousy only dared to secretly scold the "red deer" in this regard, and the scolding was still those women who were greedy for vanity, as for the German Führer, it was the god of war who was to be placed in the Buddhist shrine to be offered, who dared to publicly insult the Führer, believe it or not, Tegaoke came to the door to arrest people that night.

I don't know which god preached that worshipping the photo of this adult could bring martial luck, so many Japanese families bought the photo back and gave it to the recruited recruits at home as amulets. In addition, I heard rumors among the troops on the Chinese front line that putting the photo of the head of state in an iron hat (steel helmet) has the effect of driving away evil spirits.

"Veterans like us who have participated in European naval battles, have encountered enemy anti-submarine units more than once, and No. 106 was lucky to survive, but there are also many comrades-in-arms who died in the vast Atlantic Ocean because of the injuries of their ships." Captain Robin's expression was heavy when he said this, and the two Japanese officers hurriedly showed empathy and sadness.

"They died for their country, and this is the glory of the Navy servicemen." Guijima was comforted.

"You're right, lieutenant colonel, they are all heroes of the Motherland." Robin nodded firmly.

"The Reich Führer invented this training method in order to train our sailors to be able to operate the submarine normally and even launch a counterattack against the enemy in the event of accidental damage to the submarine's navigational instruments, with the slogan "Don't abandon!" Don't give up! ””。 The German captain raised his right arm with a solemn face.

"Hey! Reinhart! The next moment, all the officers and men in the cabin stood up and saluted.
