Feng. Colonel Hertz was really elated and gushing about his great achievements, but it was not all blindly showing off himself, and there were a lot of dry goods revealed in his words, and the Japanese naval officers and men present could not help but applaud when they heard the wonderful points, and some even took out small notebooks from their pockets to make notes.

The atmosphere at the scene became very harmonious, as if it was a harmonious and friendly atmosphere.

The Japanese Navy really wanted to know about the situation of naval warfare in the European war, and because the naval attaché in Germany stayed in Berlin, he could only get a bunch of battle reports published by the high command, and because he could not get permission to observe the battlefield, he could not get first-hand information about the battlefield.

In the past, Germany would take the initiative to invite friendly countries to send field observation missions, but the problem was that Hitler died suddenly at the front, and the domestic top brass immediately began a bloody and brutal purge.

The Japanese Navy has always been relatively close to Britain, and during World War I, it also participated in the encirclement and suppression of the German Far East Fleet. Field Marshal Raeder did not treat the Japanese very well, and in the past, technical cooperation between Germany and Japan was mostly limited to the army and air force.

The Japanese Navy has always believed that its technology is not weaker than any other power in the world, and of course it will not take the weak German Navy seriously.

The German Navy had been abandoned for more than 20 years, and it had long lagged far behind its old enemies on the other side, both in terms of technology and personnel reserves. However, because Japan has received technical support from Britain and has accumulated decades of experience in building ships, it has long trained a large number of outstanding technicians, especially after the Nagato-class was listed as one of the world's seven warships, the Japanese Navy believes that its naval technology level has entered the advanced ranks of the world.

Although the German navy rose at an astonishing rate, the technological gap was not easy to catch up, and the Japanese believed that Britain would never allow this rival to resurgence and threaten the absolute sea power of the Royal Navy of the British Empire.

As a result, the Japanese miscalculated again, who would have thought that in order to contain France, the British government would personally untie the collar around the neck of the German navy. What's even more unexpected is that the Germans actually used a lot of the latest technology at that time in naval construction, relying on the advantages of materials and processing, and soon caught up with the development of the Royal Navy, and even in some technical fields, it has clearly surpassed the old opponent.

By the time the Japanese Navy realized that it seemed to be gone, half of the war in Europe had been fought, and the British Empire's home fleet, which had long been the Japanese Combined Fleet's admiration, had been destroyed in Dunkirk.

The German Navy set an ingenious trap for the Royal Navy, and the Germans boldly adopted a combined land, sea and air tactics that had never been seen before, relying on torpedo boats, coastal heavy artillery and torpedo machines to accomplish this impossible task, and the sharp Teutonic tomahawks were stunned to overturn the English heavy cavalry.

The Imperial Japanese Navy was amazed by a series of tactics used by the Germans in this battle, and the Military Command Department subsequently conducted a number of tactical exercises on how to replicate such tactics in a specific environment with coastal heavy artillery, land-based aviation, and naval mine warfare units.

Since then, the Imperial Japanese Navy no longer dares to underestimate the Imperial German Navy, and the German Führer, who was able to come up with such exquisite tactics, is indeed worthy of being the military god of the Greater German Empire.

The Battle of the Faroe Islands showed the strength and courage of the German Navy's surface ship units to the fullest, and they swept away the previous style of cowardly self-preservation, and fought a face-to-face combat with the British Royal Navy detachment within a flat firing distance.

Of course, the Japanese did not know the motives behind the German Navy's desperate behavior at that time, and the German Navy's crazy performance was regarded by them as proof that the Jutland legacy of the High Seas Fleet still existed.

The captains of the Combined Fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy privately hoped that if they could participate in such a wonderful and magnificent naval battle, they would have no complaints even if they died on the spot.

Now the brave captain sat in front of him, like a hero who had stepped out of a legend, and the officers of the First Detachment were very interested in von Von. Colonel Hertz's deeds are full of admiration, and if you are talking in Japanese, you will use honorifics.

The so-called things gather like and people are grouped, can only say Christian. Feng. Hertz was a man who could be a close friend of Lieutenant Colonel Randolph. The captain soon established a clear image of a brave, resolute, wise, and loyal German naval officer in front of the visiting Japanese naval officers and men.

Finally, the Japanese side had Lieutenant General Tanimoto Mataro in charge and stabilized their own position, so that they did not let the men they brought with him, and the German colonel on the opposite side were all fooled into brainless fans.

After drinking a pot of black tea, the Japanese finally remembered that they had something to do, and they had just received a lot of information about the [Prince Eugen] from the captain, but hearing was always believing, and Tanimoto asked if he could visit this most advanced German heavy cruiser.

Feng. Hertz himself had a mission in this regard, and of course agreed to the request without hesitation, and personally led the guests of the Japanese Navy to visit the battleship inside and out.

This is really not an ordinary warship, as the latest modification of the [Hyper] class, the [Prince Eugen] not only simply increased the draft tonnage, but also carried out systematic large-scale improvements, which also led to the heavy cruiser, the cost reached an astonishing 145 million Deutschmark, even more than the two [Deutschland] class armored ships, only two [Bismarck] class and two [Scharnhorst] class ranked ahead of her. Of course, this ranking will definitely change in the future, but the special status of this heavy cruiser in the German Navy can be seen from this.

It is a technology verification ship with a variety of advanced equipment, using the latest internal welded structure, improved power equipment, and updated and more complete sighting and fire control systems.

There are as many as 12 sets of firing control optical rangefinders alone, including a set of 10-meter baseline rangefinders on each of the four main turrets, a set of 7-meter baseline rangefinders on the main gun firing azimuth disks, a set of 6-meter baseline rangefinders on the front and rear combat bridges, and a set of 4-meter baseline rangefinders for each of the four anti-aircraft firing command posts on both sides. Germany's optical equipment has always been at the forefront of the world, and the observation and sighting equipment on this German cruiser is even more than that on the Japanese first-class battleship, which really made a group of Japanese naval officers and men greedy.

This is also determined by the tactics of the German Navy, as an attack ship must have a full range of search capabilities, a large number of rangefinders can ensure that the means of observation will not be lost due to combat losses in the battle, and the time of the attack ship at sea can be extended to the greatest extent.

Of course, in practical use it is not satisfactory, the optics are extremely sophisticated, and any violent vibration can damage these fragile equipment, and Germany is working with the British Navy to develop a new radar fire control system.

Because of the capture of the N25 submarine, British cavity magnetron technology did not flow into the United States as it did historically, Germany and the British Empire had firmly controlled this strategic technology, plus a bunch of "genius revelations" from the German Führer, and now the radar technology of the United States has lagged far behind its European counterparts.

British and German technicians had already produced samples of PPI displays, which were seen as another great invention of the German Führer, and radar operators no longer had to keep their eyes peeled for the dazzling spikes on the cathode ray tube screen, but could now clearly report the number of targets and their direction by looking at a circular radial scan image.

At present, German and British scientists are studying how to improve the accuracy of target detection, and both countries see the strategic significance of this technology, and strive to reach practical standards as soon as possible, the British Royal Navy believes that this will be a revolutionary breakthrough in naval technology, and from then on traditional naval warfare will enter a new dimension.

The United States, which already ranks first in the world in naval strength, has once again become the number one imaginary enemy of the Royal Navy and even the whole of Britain, and the British have begun to quietly launch a technological blockade of the United States, and are trying to recall the senior scientific researchers who were transferred to the United States to escape the war.

Of course, Japan is even less likely to know these secrets, pulse radar is still a legendary technology for them, Japan has a group of outstanding scientific research scholars, and has also conducted research in this area before, and has also come up with a primitive version of the air defense radar system, the detection principle of this radar is very simple, that is, the transmitter and receiver are placed in two places about 100 kilometers apart, and the radio waves form an invisible line of defense between the transmitter and the receiver, when a flying object passes through this line of defense, The receiver will get the response.

To put it simply, it is the same thing as the infrared burglar alarm used in later generations, and it can only know that something has passed through the beam, and the number, height, direction, and distance of the target cannot be displayed at all. It is such a thing that the Japanese even regarded as a top secret, and they were stunned to build more than 100 sets to serve as air defense early warning on the island.

Because of the lack of wartime records, no one can say exactly what role this system played, but we only know that after installing this system, the bombers of the US Army and Navy Air Force were like no one in the sky over Japan.

And the more accurate pulse radar technology was a cutting-edge secret in any country at that time, and the Japanese military did not even know that such equipment existed at that time. It was not until 41 years that the Japanese saw the actual land-based radar from the Luftwaffe, and after receiving limited technical support from the German side, the Japanese army and navy began to develop their own radar systems.

As a result, by the time the finished product that can be used for practical purposes appears, the aircraft carriers on the American side are about to be flooded, and the fighters are often like a swarm of locusts, and even if the large warships of the United Fleet detect the target, they will no longer have the power to fight back when they encounter an opponent of this scale, and the role of radar is at most to let the crew know their death date one step earlier.

The "Prince Eugen" is not yet equipped with a radar system, and it is planned that the warship will be docked for renovation after this return, which will also avoid the danger of technology leakage, but the existing equipment alone has dazzled the visiting Japanese naval officers.

PS: Thank you for your support, because the matter has not been dealt with yet, tomorrow's update time is the same as today, I hope you understand.

Thank you.
