Chapter 115: Rearmament and War for Unification

The battleship "King" remained in the Gulf of Tonkin for three days.

During this period, Richard Sorge, a reporter from Germany's "Frankfurter Zeitung", wrote an interview with "Cheng Gong, the King of Donghui in My Eyes", which was reprinted by all media around the world for the first time, making him the most famous journalist in the global press industry overnight.

In Sorge's pen, Cheng Gong is not only a king, but also a great scientist who has made the most outstanding contributions to the development of global science and technology, and the article records in detail that the Donghui Kingdom led by Cheng Gong selflessly published thousands of inventions and practical new technology patents for the development of the world economy, so that the entire human civilization process has taken a big step forward.

In particular, the new mass production process of sulfonamides and the mass production process of penicillin and streptomycin invented by Donghui have opened a new chapter of victory in the struggle between all mankind and disease. These three new achievements in medical research are the gospel brought to all mankind by Cheng Gong, the king of Donghui! Sorge called for the award of the Nobel Prize in ******, physics, chemistry, and medicine to King Cheng Gong of Donghui.

There is no doubt that Sorge's interview really gave Cheng Gong an honorary halo of "the greatest scientist and the greatest messenger of peace in history."

The timing of this interview was so good that Cheng Gong didn't expect that he would be so tall in Sorge's writing.

Hehe, the British and French ghosts conspired to provoke the "greatest messenger of peace" at this time, which clearly shows that they are deliberately trying to destroy world peace!

Quack quack! Comrade Sorge is really a good comrade!

Must be rewarded! We must provide him with more funds and weapons, so that the raging flames of the American proletarian revolutionary struggle led by him will burn the entire American continent!

Under Cheng Gong's leadership, the "Ramza" group led by Sorge quickly ended its intelligence work in Dongying and turned the battlefield and front to the US mainland. thus avoiding the tragedy of Sorge's tragic death under the gallows of the little devil in 1941 because his identity was exposed.

With the big fat of Kalimantan, after the little devil goes south to the Pacific Ocean, he will definitely attack the British and French colonies in Asia in Southeast Asia. The Dongying Army, which did not plunge the vast majority of its troops into the quagmire of the Chinese battlefield, will definitely give the British and French ghost animals a big surprise when the time comes.

Before the outbreak of the Pacific War in the last century, it had always been the Chinese soldiers who were fighting with the little devils, and the European and American powers were selling arms and materials to make a lot of war money while watching the excitement.

In this life, you must let the whole world know how ferocious the little devil is!

Before the official opening of the Pacific War, let the little devils sweep through all the spheres of influence of Britain and France in Asia like locusts transiting.

At the time, Cheng Gong could wave the halo of "the greatest messenger of peace" in a high-profile manner, and buy a large number of British and French prisoners of war from the little devils to shed blood and sweat for Donghui's national construction!

When the army of little devils swept through the countries of Southeast Asia, the Donghui Pacific Fleet, which was stationed on Paradise Island, looked at the entire Pacific Ocean, and the Pacific Fleet of the US imperialists certainly did not dare to act rashly.

Hell, don't you white ghost animals want to try the bottom of this king! When the time comes, this king will let you know why the flowers are so red!

After sending Richard Sorge safely to Tokyo, Cheng Gong and Hirohito chatted for another day and night aboard the "King", and it was not until the afternoon of the next day that they left Tokyo Bay, and made a large circle all the way through the East China Sea, the South China Sea, and the Java Sea, and carefully inspected this territory that was about to belong to the Donghui Kingdom, and did not arrive at Port Arthur in the northern part of Zhennan Province until a week later.

Just when the eyes of the whole world were attracted by the voyage of the "King", the Donghui Marine Corps, with a total of 20,000 horses and horses of the 1st Division, under the leadership of Qiu Qingquan, relied on the container cargo ship of the Global Express Logistics Company, avoided everyone's sight, and quietly landed at a secret naval base in the north of Zhennan Province.

Since the Donghui Kingdom built a large number of buildings on Shuguang Island, the Second Fleet deployed by the Donghui Navy on Shuguang Island is only a small-scale coastal navy with 72 torpedo boats and frigates, 24 submarines, 12 air defense frigates, and six air defense destroyers with a total tonnage of less than 60,000 tons.

Such a small homeland defense fleet, even the Royal Australian Navy did not look at it, let alone the two old naval powers, Britain and France.

Although there have always been international rumors that the submarines and torpedoes of the Donghui Navy are very terrifying, so far, except for the Dongying Navy, no other country's navy has seen what the Donghui Navy's submarine operations are all about.

What's more, there is still a saying circulating in Europe that Dongying and Donghui are acting, the purpose of which is to use the strength of Dongying's navy to highlight the more powerful Donghui navy, so as to scare the major powers of Europe and the United States, so as to seek colonial interests in the Asia-Pacific region.

Although, rumors stop at the wise. But this rumor has become more and more cordial as the relationship between the Donghui Kingdom and Dongying has become more and more cordial, and it has become more and more like that.

If it weren't for the successive defeats of the Dongying Navy and Army in the Chinese battlefield, would everyone still honestly bet so much gold in Donghui's national treasury?

However, there are also those who oppose this statement. The argument of opponents is that Donghui has world-leading aviation technology, and the group bombing of night bombers is even more unique. The kind of fighter of the Donghui Navy is the strongest fighter with the fastest flying, the fastest climb, the fastest firepower, and the most ferocious. This fact can be confirmed by the military observers of various countries in China.

Since Donghui has such advanced aviation and military technology, who dares to guarantee that they will be inferior in navigation military technology?

Moreover, judging from the military and civilian technologies that Donghui has continuously released, Donghui's scientific and technological accumulation and R&D level are definitely the strongest in the world, and there is no one!

In short, God said that whether an apple is good or not is only known when you eat it.

If you don't take such a bite on Donghui's golden apple, no one is willing to admit it in such a daze.

Lushun City, Zhennan Province, is a coastal city located in the northwest of New Guinea Island. It is currently the home of the Second Fleet of the Toki Navy.

After conducting a comprehensive and meticulous inspection of the submarine units in active service of the Second Fleet, Cheng Gong was in a rather happy mood.

The German Navy's emphasis on the use of submarines is definitely the first in the world at present.

The rigorous style of the Germanic people has greatly benefited all the trained officers and men of the Donghui Navy.

The X-type submarines that Cheng Gong equipped for the submarine force of the Second Fleet of the Donghui Navy are foreign trade models that have been improved based on XXI and 033. After the Navy's submariners and commanders complete their training, the X-Type submarines will be sold to Germany at half price as training fees, and the German Navy on Dawn Island will sail directly back to Europe.

X-type submarine, displacement: empty displacement 1116.2 tons, standard displacement 1475 tons, underwater displacement 1830 tons;

The length of the boat is 76.6 meters, the width is 6.7 meters, the draft is 5.2 meters, the normal diving depth is 200 meters, and the maximum diving depth is 300 meters.

Electronic equipment performance:

1. Radar

(1) Sea-air search radar: HK-1 radar

Sea Search and Navigation Radar (S-band, one decimeter):

The output power is 140KW, the pulse width is 1.3~2 microseconds, the working frequency is 3000MHz, and the effective detection distance for the destroyer is 12 nautical miles and 20 nautical miles in the air.

(2) Ranging direction finder: CJ-1 ranging radar

Small CJ Ranging Radar:

A small ranging radar installed in the attack periscope has an effective detection range of 3 nautical miles for destroyers.

2. Sonar:

(1) Passive sonar (under the bow): GHG (Gruppenhorchgerat) passive sonar;

The "Gruppenhorchgerat" is abbreviated as "GHG" and consists of 2 × 24 sensors (one on each side of the bow base). Each sensor has a tube preamplifier. These 48 low-frequency signals are transmitted by the main unit to a conversion matrix. The sonar operator can then determine the exact direction of the sound source on one side of the boat. To increase resolution, there are three interswitchable center frequencies: 1, 3, and 6 Hz.

One disadvantage of the side installation: there were blind zones of 40 ° in the bow and stern. Range: 20 km (single ship), 100 km (fleet). Search area: 2×140°, resolution/sharpness: (6 kHz) 1°, (3 kHz) 1.5°, (1 kHz) 4°, no crossing 8°.

(3) Lightning sonar: BL-1 active sonar;

short-range FM sonar; It is used to detect mines, and the effective detection range is 0.25 nautical miles;

3. Electronic warfare systems

(1) Radar Warning Instrument: StopLight

Function: Electronic reconnaissance/warning system

The "Stop Light" radar is a broadband passive electronic reconnaissance system mounted on a submarine with an electronic intelligence (ELINT) function, often used in conjunction with the BoatSail. The antenna uses a multi-band fixed direction-finding antenna array. The Soviet Russian model is Nakat.

There are 8 groups of sensors, each with 4 radar receivers, and an omnidirectional early warning receiver at the top of the device. Each receiver is designed to receive a different frequency band. The way the system works is to determine which group receives the strongest signal. The display is a regular CRT type. There is no automatic identification feature. The coverage range is 1GHz--10GHz.

Antenna feeder: (antenna category) multi-band fixed direction finding antenna array

(2) Radar decoy: Aphrodite radar simulator

A one-meter-diameter hydrogen balloon with strips of metal hanging underneath is connected by a cable to an anchor-shaped weight. The function is to form a radar image similar to that of a submarine.

(3) Underwater acoustic decoy: "Bold" (Bold) 533 self-propelled sonar simulator

Consists of a "torpedo" equipped with calcium hydride and an inlet valve that can take in water. When the "torpedo" is activated, seawater enters the metal cylinder and reacts with calcium hydride to produce a large number of bubbles. "Torpedoes" can sail under water. The resulting sonar effect is similar to that of the submarine itself.

Shot Control System:

Torpedo Data Computer:

The SK-1 torpedo data computer is one of the ace equipment on this foreign trade submarine developed by Cheng Gong, and it has the ability to continuously "track" the target for solving. This ability was unparalleled at the time. This kind of computer is divided into two parts, one is the target computer, and the other is the angle of fire computer.

The target computer can automatically obtain the course and speed of the ship, and the operator is responsible for inputting information such as the length of the target, the estimated speed, and the relative angle. Generally speaking, 3~4 target measurements can allow the computer to accurately calculate the future position of the target.

The firing angle computer will add the data calculated by the target computer to the torpedo performance to obtain the firing angle of the torpedo, and then transmit the data to the front and rear torpedo compartments, and input the torpedo compass in the torpedo tube through the connecting rod.

The advantage of this system is that it allows the submarine to launch a torpedo attack at any time without drastic changes in the navigation status of the enemy ship (i.e., the target state retention function in the game). In contrast, the torpedo computers of submarines of other countries' navies at that time could only calculate the solution of the target at a certain point in the future, and once the input conditions (such as the course of the ship or the target) changed, or the timing of the firing was missed, everything had to be restarted.

This X-type submarine is a foreign trade model used by Cheng Gong to arm the German Navy and the Dongying Navy, and of course it is impossible to provide Germany and Dongying with too advanced advanced pioneer and radar electronic technology.

It's just that even such a weakened X-type submarine can be called a big killer compared to the existing anti-submarine means in various countries around the world.

The German Seawolves, all equipped with X-type submarines, will definitely be able to inflict heavy damage on the British Navy and the US Atlantic Fleet when they implement their wolf pack tactics!
