One of the most basic conditions for becoming a flagship of the fleet is to have a powerful communication system, and later generations have even more extreme requirements for this aspect, and many flagships do not even have much actual combat capability.

In order to avoid confusion in communication during combat, each radio station can independently choose a frequency, so that even if it communicates with several units at the same time, it will not interfere with each other's transmission of intelligence information.

Because the telecommunications room contains a large number of secrets, such as extremely important equipment such as the Navy's Enigma machine and cipher telex machine, it is usually forbidden to even unrelated personnel of the ship, let alone foreign naval personnel. So Tanimoto and the naval communications staff officer can only wait in the lounge outside the communication room now, and the first mate Winsbach is accompanied by two naval orderlies, which looks more like surveillance, but the Japanese understand each other's reaction very well, after all, the soldiers of the two countries on the shore are still hurting each other at the moment.

"Please follow me, Your Excellency." Feng. Hertz opened the door to the telecommunications room from the inside, and he greeted as he stood in the doorway.

"Got in touch? Feng. Captain Hertz. Ichikawa Nakasa, communications staff officer of the 1st Fleet Command, stood up and eagerly inquired that he had just provided the radio communication frequency of the Fleet Command and the call code of the commander.

"Yes, I got in touch, and the other party asked to contact General Tanimoto."

"The connection was established so quickly, and your ship's radio weapons are very good." Ichikawa flattered to.

At that time, military radio stations were usually bulky and bulky because they still used electronic tubes, and their structures were far less complex than those of later generations, but they also had the ability to transmit voice within a certain distance, which was obviously more efficient than the code communication that required manpower to decipher.

The kind of radio equipment that can transmit voice is called a wireless telephone in the Japanese Navy, and the kind of radio station that can only use Morse code in the past is called a radio telegraph.

The fleet headquarters was also equipped with several wireless telephones for short-distance communication between land positions, but as the communication distance increased, the radio signal was rapidly attenuated due to the interference of the terrain and landforms, and with the technology of the Japanese Navy at that time, it was generally impossible to communicate normally at a distance of more than two kilometers on the ground.

The location of the [Prince Eugen] dock is more than six kilometers away from Jiangwan Road, where the fleet headquarters is located, although Shanghai at that time did not have so many high-rise buildings in later generations, but the technical bottleneck is placed there, and the communication distance is a problem that cannot be bypassed.

Nowadays, the radio technology of the German Navy can achieve voice communication of more than ten kilometers, but the equipment on the Japanese side is not good, and the Germans cannot do anything, otherwise it will become a one-way communication.

The wireless telephone on the Japanese Navy fighter plane, the communication distance is reachable, but this is because the flight altitude causes the signal is not easy to be affected by the terrain, so the call distance can be extended to more than 30 nautical miles, but it is often affected by other external environmental factors such as the weather, this kind of radio has no anti-interference ability at all, either no movement can be heard, or the headset is full of noise, so most of the HNA pilots do not like this communication tool.

Because the Japanese side did not have the technology to meet the requirements, the communication with the Detachment Fleet Command could only be carried out using Morse code.

Of course, the Japanese Navy would not use its own naval code in front of the Germans, so all the calls were made in clear code, which became a piece of evidence to reveal the truth of the incident in later generations.

As a result, almost all of Tanimoto's conversations with the headquarters were recorded at that time, but because of the secrecy, it was not revealed by historical researchers until decades after the end of the war, and as a result, the infighting between the Japanese army and navy in Shanghai once again became the focus of discussion.

To avoid trouble, von. Hertz had the soldiers cover the sensitive equipment with sheets, then use two screens to separate a small room next to a set of radios by the door.

Staff Officer Ichikawa, under the guidance of the German telecommunications troops, quickly learned how to operate the radio, and then he personally pressed the electric button and started a conversation with the fleet headquarters opposite.

At the same time, Feng. Hertz also contacted Colonel Davidson via another set of radios. There was no need to be so troublesome with the Japanese, the envoy carried a portable radio station, and Hertz and Davidson had direct voice communication, which once again opened up Staff Officer Ichikawa's eyes.

As far as he knew, the hospital where the marshal was located was in the French Concession, at least five kilometers away, but the voice he heard in his ears was unusually clear and stable, which was enough to prove that the German technology in wireless telephone had left the Japanese navy far behind.

In fact, in collaboration with Feng. Before Hertz made contact, Davidson was already aware of the battle on the Bund, and Sergeant Webb reported the cause of the incident to him in detail through the phone in the hotel at the beginning of the battle, and at the same time, Webb reported that the other side was far superior to his own forces, and asked the colonel to send reinforcements immediately.

Davis was anxious when he answered the phone, although he was very confident in the combat effectiveness of the Tomahawk Brigade, the problem was that there were only twelve people left in the Chinachem Hotel, and the Japanese Army that Webb saw at least one battalion at the moment.

Although Webban has sufficient ammunition, its forces are limited after all, and if the other side launches a continuous attack, this amount of strength will not last long.

Davidson first ordered Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig to lead the remaining Tomahawk Brigade soldiers to the Bund in addition to the necessary guards to support Webban, who was in a bitter battle there.

As soon as Ludwig left on the front foot, Dong Kai Ziwei, the general director of the Ministry of Industry and the British Consul General, Sir George, rushed to the hospital to inform them of the incident on the Davidson Bund, and at the same time the two Britons were anxious to make the Germans understand that this incident was a unilateral armed invasion by Japan, and that the concession side was completely the victim, and they were completely unaware of the incident.

They hoped that the German envoys would be able to stand up at this time to stop the atrocities of the Japanese army and uphold the justice and fairness of the world.

Sir George also said that Colonel Davidson did not need to worry about the safety of his men, the British army in Shanghai and the International Merchant Corps had begun to assemble and would soon be able to go to the Bund to support, and at the same time, the French Concession had also been notified, and presumably the French Foreign Legion had begun to prepare for battle.

Sir George invited Davidson to join him in negotiations with the Japanese side, and it was not enough to protest such a serious conflict, but it was necessary to question the motives and reasons of the Japanese, and then give an apology and compensation to the concession, and severely punish those responsible.

But before they could find their door, the Japanese 13th Army Headquarters first called the hospital, and although Lieutenant General Sawada was reluctant in his heart, he had to bow his head cheekily at this time, and he had to get the understanding of the German side at all costs.

Ten minutes ago, Sawada was in a meeting at the military police headquarters, anxiously awaiting a response from the front along with Yoyo Matsuoka and others. Then he received a follow-up report from the Huangpu Road Police Station, in which the police found that the lone troops had entered the concession and clashed with the concession patrol, and then, for unknown reasons, the troops suddenly launched an attack on the Chinachem Hotel. According to the report of the observation post on the Broadway building, the Honda Brigade is engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the guards in the south building of the hotel at this moment, and the gunfire and black smoke are rising into the sky.

When Lieutenant General Sawada learned the news, he was immediately so frightened that his legs went limp, and the group of bastards below really broke the sky this time.

The Chinachem Hotel is not a special place, the problem is that it is now full of Chinese and foreign officials, among whom the diplomatic staff at the level of consul general alone can make up a class. Could it be that the officer who led the team ate the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard, and dared to lead his troops to attack this hotel in the face of the world's condemnation.

Now there is a fierce battle with the guards of the hotel, the dignified Imperial Japanese Army, can not clean up a group of security guards, this group of miscellaneous is not only brainless, but also incompetent, it is simply a loss of face for the Japanese army soldiers, it is shameless, why didn't the commander who led the team go to seppuku.

This incident has already become a big one, and if it really hurts some Omi diplomats in the hotel, the rest of the cabinet will not talk about it, and War Minister Tojo will directly bite off his head. 、

"The latest report arrived, Your Excellency." A staff officer hurried into the office and placed a document in front of Sawada.

PS: The first chapter is sent, and the second chapter is written after eating, and it will be updated around ten o'clock, thank you for your understanding.

Today's eyes are a little uncomfortable, but I will still insist on coding out a chapter, and the author's words count.

Thank you.
