On December 10, 1940, the Nobel Prize was awarded outside Norway for the first time after a one-year hiatus. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Scientists from South China unexpectedly won four of the five awards in a row, attracting the attention of the world. Since the South China government recognizes dual citizenship, almost the majority of South Chinese citizens are in fact Chinese citizens, so this honor is also shared by the government of the Republic of China.

Among the four awards, Second Lieutenant Liang Li, a war correspondent for the Liberation Daily in South China, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her performance in finding proof of the Japanese massacre;

Scientists led by Professor Du Heming of the Southwest China Institute of Pharmaceutical Research won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for their discovery of penicillin and its pro-chuáng effect;

The findings of the feed green storage method studied by the Syrian Research Institute in China, as well as the addition of an appropriate amount of biogas slurry to animal feed, which can help resist the invasion of epidemic diseases, played a huge role in how to ensure the health of war horses, cattle and sheep and other livestock during the war years, so he won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry;

The famous scientist Nikolai Nicholas, who has become a citizen of South China. Tesla, for its great achievements in radio remote control technology, won the Nobel Prize in Physics.

The only one of the five prizes was the Nobel Prize for Literature, which was awarded to the Finnish writer Sylempe, who wrote six years ago for his work "Summer People", which depicts typical Finnish nature and presents colorful images that draw attention to people's yearning for peace.

The resounding victory of South China scientists in the Nobel Prize is considered to be an important diplomatic means for Britain and the United States to win over South China.

Because it was a war year, and at the same time, the Allies lost their naval supremacy in the Pacific and Indian Ocean regions, and the only way to and from South China and the United States was by air, which was very dangerous when the Axis powers controlled air supremacy in North Africa and the Middle East, so all the winners did not go to the United States to receive the award, but were collected by Chinese Foreign Minister Song Ziwen on their behalf.

Internationally, the Pacific Theater was full of thunder and rain, and it was urgent to stabilize the regional situation, eliminate the remnants of the Allied forces on the mainland, and adopt an active defensive posture; on the one hand, it deployed troops at Cape Otway and the Wilson Peninsula in southern Victoria, and put on a posture of being ready to launch a sea-crossing campaign and recover the Flo Islands and Tasmania at any time; on the other hand, it actively migrated to Australia from the country, built towns and cities along the railways and highways, and advanced to the center of the continent step by step to consolidate its rule.

However, General MacArthur, commander of the Allied Southwest Pacific Theater, was afraid that the Japanese army might really launch a landing operation in a desperate gamble, so he had to make his troops more vigilant and do their best to defend the Bass Strait. At the same time, MacArthur also mobilized men and horses to repeatedly strengthen the defenses of New Zealand's north and south islands.

In the past two months or so, the United States has sent six divisions of troops to the southwest Pacific region through the repaired Panama Canal, which has greatly strengthened MacArthur's armed forces, but relying only on so many troops is obviously unable to meet the requirements of counterattacking the Australian mainland, so continued forbearance is a necessary means.

In the Central Pacific, Rear Admiral Yorizo Tanaka, who won successive victories in torpedo warfare and was regarded as an outlier by the Navy, was valued by the Chief of Staff of the Army, Ishihara Wanji. After negotiating with Nagano Shusei, the Japanese army base camp issued a commendation order, and Tanaka Yorizo was promoted to the rank of vice admiral.

However, with the increasing strength of the US military in the Central Pacific, relying solely on the lightning strike operations of the surface fleet is no longer enough to defeat a strong enemy, and the Navy is going all out to study the technology of air-dropped oxygen torpedoes and air-dropped acoustic self-guided torpedoes, and is also striving to develop night-flying combat devices, with a view to continuing the legend of the mine warfare team with aviation operations.

Under these circumstances, Senior General Ishihara was transferred back to Yorizo Tanaka in the name of the base camp and sent him to the Naval Academy to study aviation tactics and lay the foundation for future development.

December 12, 2 p.m.

South China, Hai Phong Port, Navy Headquarters Small Conference Room.

In the past few days, An Yi inspected the daily training of the Navy's First Fleet and the local fleet in the Beibu Gulf; after watching the actual combat drill of the submarine force this morning, he felt a little bottom in his heart, so he prepared to return to Xinjing.

After reading it, Cheng Guang was very surprised and asked, "Who is this Tanaka Raisan who is sacred, and why has he caused such an uproar in the navy?" ”

An Yi, who was originally standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the conference room and enjoying the scenery, returned to the sofa and sat down, and said, "Recently, the intelligence department has frequently mentioned this person, and I specially asked people to investigate. This man graduated from the Naval Lightning School 24 years ago and served as a torpedo chief on the destroyer Shiokaze and the light cruiser Yura, which made him fond of torpedo attacks and became an expert in torpedo attacks on the Combined Fleet.

"Since the beginning of last year, he has been promoted to the rank of Colonel, serving as the captain of the battleship 'King Kong' and the commander of the Sixth Submarine Fleet; after the Pearl Harbor incident last year, he was transferred to the commander of the Second Lightning Strike Fleet of the Combined Fleet, and was promoted to the rank of rear admiral at the beginning of this year. Cheng Guang, can you talk about your views on this lightning strike tactic! “

Cheng Guang once again recalled the contents of the telegram, and his face gradually became solemn.

The telegram came from the fact that after Tanaka Yorizo entered the naval academy for further study, he spent half a month writing the book "How to Conduct Lightning Warfare Correctly," summing up his experience and lessons in the Central Pacific Theater on how to defeat the strong with destroyers as the main force and when the strength was obviously inferior to that of the opponent.

At the beginning of the book, Yorizo Tanaka made it clear that the United States has far superior industrial capacity and that it is normal for the United States to have a large number of warships, and that in a war with the US military, it must always be ready to overcome the strong with the weak, and the navy's specialty is its ability to fight at night and oxygen torpedoes, and it must give full play to this advantage.

In Tanaka's view, the US Navy, with its radar technology obtained from Britain, is extremely normal for the US Navy to be the first to detect warships, but its night combat capability is obviously inferior to that of the Navy. The flash of American artillery was extremely obvious, providing a clear target for torpedo attacks launched by destroyers, which were known for their high speed. Correspondingly, if the fleet does not have a firepower advantage, it should try to avoid firing guns, let alone take the initiative to turn on the lights, so as not to be concentrated by the enemy.

Tanaka Yorizo stressed: When the Japanese fleet is carrying out its mission, there should be no less than three alert ships, and the forward lead ships must be strengthened in defense, and it is better to weaken the attack power than to ensure the enhancement of the bombproof capability and damage management capability. According to the actual combat effect, the probability of the pilot ship being fired intensively is the greatest, and there is basically no chance of fighting back, if possible, the strongest warship should be selected to serve as the position, so as to increase the probability of survival. Those ammunition that will explode, try to reduce it as much as possible, or even leave only the ammunition for anti-aircraft weapons. The engine room of the pilot ship should be reinforced as much as possible to ensure that the warship can maintain a certain speed after the war. In areas where American aircraft are active, losing speed is extremely dangerous.

In a lightning strike, the first lightning strike is completed, and the torpedo should be quickly evacuated and reloaded, and it may take two, three, or even four lightning strikes to completely wipe out the cruiser or even a larger target. Destroyers of the Navy, in a lightning strike, should be ready for a maximum of four lightning strikes. As for the number of lightning strikes, one is that it is rarely used, and the other is that loading too many torpedoes will also increase the risk of explosion, which is generally not considered.

In Tanaka's view, lightning strikes are mostly encounters, and the mine team does not have the opportunity to line up in a standard formation, so there is no need to fight according to the classic mode, and all warships should aim at the enemy ship capable of lightning strike for torpedo attacks at the first time, and then immediately retreat and carry out torpedo loading in preparation for the second attack. Even if the first attack could not sink the enemy ship, it would be enough to destroy the enemy's formation and create favorable conditions for the second lightning strike.

In addition, when the fleet is divided into several formations, it is not necessary to concentrate first and then engage in battle, but immediately after the encounter, according to the environment, occupy a favorable position and quickly enter the battle, and when the front team retreats, it should be remembered to create favorable conditions for the rear team to carry out lightning strikes. At the same time, since lightning strikes often occur in a melee and it is extremely important to distinguish between friend and foe, when it is difficult to find out whether we are friends or foes, we should ensure that our own fleet does not fire first, and as long as this is ensured, it is possible to carry out lightning strikes on the target ships that fire our cannons.

Tanaka Yorizo believes that by taking advantage of the coastal terrain to conceal and detour behind enemy lines, it is possible to give full play to the advantage of the destroyer's fast speed, play an excellent role in attacking the destroyer by surprise, and even have the opportunity to intercept and kill a lone enemy ship.

Tanaka Yorizo also believes that it is very important to be able to detect the enemy in advance during an encounter, so the land-based air force should make more efforts to provide early warning as much as possible, and it can also send special reconnaissance teams to reconnoiter the movements of the enemy's fleet at some key points.

At the end of the book, Yorizo Tanaka said that rescuing his own people who had fallen into the water after the battle was just as important as destroying the officers and men of the enemy navy. During the battle, if it is difficult to organize the rescue of the officers and men who have fallen into the water, they can temporarily retreat and wait for the fighting to subside, and then return to the battlefield to organize the rescue.

Ships are operated by people, and it often takes several years for a qualified sailor to develop, so while saving your own sailors, you should do your best to kill and wound the enemy's officers and soldiers who have fallen overboard, which can effectively weaken the strength of the opponent. If on the battlefield, you can kill and wound as many opposing naval officers and soldiers as possible, then when the war is unfavorable, it is worth retreating even temporarily! After a few more such battles, the enemy will end up in an embarrassing situation where there are no suitable naval soldiers to control the new warships. At the same time, the empire should increase its efforts to recruit sailors in advance for training, and it is best to adopt the method of bringing the old with the new to promote the growth of sailors as soon as possible.

"I have to admit that people have been far ahead of all countries in the world in terms of naval tactics, and even simple torpedo operations have come up with so many tricks to ......."

After Cheng Mitsu said this, he savored it again, combined with the naval war intelligence in the Central Pacific region provided by the United States before, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Tanaka Yorizo was not simple. Although this telegram only gives a general account of Tanaka's views on lightning warfare, it is enough to show that the navy's exploration in this area is far above that of current countries.

As for the South China Navy, although the French Navy has almost been inherited in its entirety, the French Navy is at best a second-rate standard in the international community, and the thinking of naval warfare is conservative, and the South China Navy is even more unbearable, and most of the officers and men of the Navy are newcomers, and they have no experience in naval warfare at all.

An Yi talked with Cheng Guang for a long time, and when he left the naval base, Cheng Cheng Guang asked a question: "Boss, why did you make the decision to allow the Japanese army to withdraw from Malaya, Burma, and the East Indies?" So many ángs, production lines and machinery and equipment, all cheap little devils! If our navy can take the initiative to attack under the cover of the air force, it can completely cover the landing of the army in Sin Chau, Rangoon and other places, and block the retreat of the Japanese army! ”

"I know everyone has this question in their minds, but no one has taken the initiative to ask me ......"

An Yi patted Lu Guang's shoulder, and said as he walked:

"There are several reasons for this, one is to continue to keep the secrets of our navy, once people perceive that we have such a powerful maritime force, we will definitely not retreat so quickly, let us consume huge supplies and the lives of officers and soldiers, and attract firepower for Britain and the United States, which cannot be drawn;

"Think about it, if our naval power is overwhelmed prematurely, Britain and the United States and other allies will definitely urge us to use this force, so that we will go to the battlefield before these ships are hot, can you rest assured? You are the commander of the navy, you know the real situation of our navy better than me, because the navy is expanding too fast, so far it has only been formed, and the cooperation of various types of ships seems to be good, but it has not been tested in actual combat for a day, and it is not safe. The idea that with an aircraft carrier, it is very wrong to eat all over the world. If nothing else, what would our fleet do if it encountered lightning strike tactics carried out by Japanese destroyer fleets and submarines at night?

"Second, no matter where people move these equipment, I am sure that in the future I will take them back as they were, and now it is just a matter of letting people keep them for an extra year or two, and the price is to win a few years of peaceful development. The mussels and cranes compete, the fisherman profits, we have to be the fisherman!

"The third is that the importance of our South China is not yet reflected, and according to the feedback from the United States, the British even want to return to India, Burma and Malaya. Only by thoroughly beating the United States and Britain can the British know what is going on and how they have survived the hard times in the past few years. So, from this point of view, it can't be too weakened, and we need it to stir things up. As you must know, the Japanese army is building the Far Eastern Railway and preparing to attack the United States by land, and there will be another good show to watch at that time.

"Now that the Germans were in a quagmire under Moscow and defeat was imminent, the Soviets officially announced the dissolution of the Comintern and their membership in the Allies at the end of last month, and their victory was the victory of the Allies. What we have to do now is to survive in the gap between the two major international powers, to use this war to develop ourselves desperately, if we can completely consolidate the areas we have occupied before the end of the war, win the hearts of the natives, ensure the majority of the Chinese, make great progress in industry and agriculture, and continue to maintain a certain military superiority over the European and American countries, it will be a victory for us! ”

Cheng Guang suddenly realized and nodded again and again.

If it is said that before today, Cheng Mitsu was still full of confidence in the navy under his command, but after reading this telegram on the military monograph written by Yorizo Tanaka, he has completely dispelled his contempt for the navy and understood that the real gap between the navies of the two countries is probably even greater than he imagined, so he also has the idea of continuing to lie down and try his courage to catch up with the first-class navy in two to three years, and with the help of new warships such as aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, and missile destroyers, he will build the foundation of a powerful navy.
