A white spirit was forming in the room, and it was not the first time that Yamaguchi had seen a similar scene, but he still felt extremely shocked when he saw a similar scene again on the German ship.

The "spirit" that appeared in front of Yamaguchi Tawen was nearly a head taller than Yamato Nadeshiko, and nearly two heads taller than himself. Such a "tall" god made Yamaguchi Tawen instinctively feel his own insignificance.

Lin Han and Hannah appeared in front of Yamaguchi Tawen in a state of "fit". After Lin Han and Hannah were separated for a long time, as Lin Han collected a large amount of faith power, his ability gradually caught up with Hannah, and when the two merged, his influence on the appearance of the body after the merger also increased. Although this combination is based on Hannah, the new body after the merger is very different from Hannah's public image in Germany, the "female bodyguard by Hitler's side", the famous German soprano singer.

"What a big breast, such a stout woman, no, god."

Looking at the "German gods" that appeared out of thin air in front of him, Yamaguchi complained in his heart, he secretly compared it with the Japanese god Yamato Fu, and felt that it was still "Yamato Nadeshiko" that was more in line with his aesthetics. The German deity who appeared in front of Yamaguchi Tawen, her (his) facial features were a little rough, with a hint of "female man" flavor, but thinking of the nickname of German women called "dragoons" by Europeans, Yamaguchi Tawen was also relieved.

Yamaguchi said, "What should I call you?" Gabriel, or Sephiroth? ”

The gods replied, "All right, for I am Gabriel." It's also Sephiroth, and I and him are two sides of the same coin. ”

Yamaguchi said tentatively: "The person you said is the Chinese god, right?" ”

Yamaguchi felt his throat tighten, and then his whole body rose out of thin air. An invisible hand grabbed him by the throat and lifted him into the air. Soon, Yamaguchi's face turned red when he was suffocating, and then turned from red to purple.

The voice of the mixed male and female voice suddenly became a stern male voice.

"As a mortal, don't try to snoop into the secrets of the gods!"

When Yamaguchi was almost suffocated to death, the other party let go of his "hand". Throw him on the ground like garbage.

Yamaguchi was lying on the ground. Gasping for breath.

"Damn Germans"

He cursed inwardly.

"He is truly a god of the most vulgar country in Europe, and he is so rude. Or are the gods of our Great Japanese Empire more gentle?"

Yamaguchi couldn't help but think of Yamato Nadeshiko again, and before coming to Germany, he had the honor of being summoned by Yamato Nadeshiko four times. Every conversation with Yamato Nadeshiko meets. It is a good memory of Yamaguchi. In the temple built by the Emperor for Yamato Nadeshiko. Yamato Nadeshiko every time he appears in front of him. His noble temperament made him look up, but his gentle tone and attitude of communication, as well as his care and compassion for the Japanese civilians revealed between the words. also made Yamaguchi think that Yamato Nadeshiko is a "kind and compassionate" Japanese deity,

After Lin Han and Hannah merged, the "god" who appeared in front of Yamatabu with his "true body" appeared, and now he sat on the only high-backed chair in the room with his legs crossed, and the drawer of the wine cabinet in the room was opened by an invisible force, and a wine bottle and wine glass flew up out of thin air, and then automatically poured a glass of blood-red wine for him without anyone controlling it.

Holding red wine in one hand, looking at Yamaguchi who was lying on the floor in a condescending manner, the voice of the "German god" changed from strong to slow, and his voice changed from a harsh male voice to a pleasant female voice.

"Sue me, human, the one from Japan, who sent you here, if you have anything to say to me."

Feeling the aggressive tone of the "gods" on the other side and the disdainful shelf from above, Yamaguchi Tawen once again remembered the gentleness and beauty of the "Japanese gods", and recalled the fragrant tea that Li Huamei made for him at that time. However, Yamaguchi, who knew the mission of his trip, heard a lot, forcibly endured the dissatisfaction and resentment in his heart, and confessed to the other party:

"She told you that though you have the help of the Chinese gods, China and Germany are too far apart for the Germans to be enemies of the whole world. This war against Great Britain, if the people of the Yamato nation were not allowed to sit at the table together, she, and our entire Great Japanese Empire,. ”

The shrill male voice sounded again: "Bold mortal, how dare you threaten a god? ”

Yamaguchi's throat tightened again, and his body flew up in the air again, and it was twisted into a twist in the air. The Scharnhorst is Hannah's "body", and in her "body", she is indeed a god-like being, who can easily decide the life and death of anyone on board.

But now it's not Hannah who communicates with Yamaguchi Tawen, but Lin Han, who is one with him. Yamaguchi heard the purpose of this trip, and the two of them had long known Guò Li Huamei clearly, and they also knew the Japanese hole cards and bottom line very well. What they are doing to Yamaguchi now is just a show.

Enduring the great pain coming from his body, Yamaguchi Tawen said with difficulty: "This is not a mortal threat, but a warning from another god, Tongguò, to Your Excellency. ”

Bang!

Yamaguchi was tossed to the ground with a heavy blow, and then the shrill male voice sounded again.

"You dare to speak to the gods like this, you have great audacity, mortal!"

"It's not bold, it's hard-boned!"

Yamaguchi was a little proud, he felt that he had no fear in front of the German gods, and he looked like a strong and resolute Japanese man. In Yamaguchi's eyes, he felt that the so-called German god in front of him was a little "lustful and inward-looking", although it seemed fierce and rude, but it was just a bluff, because Japan sat on this table to enjoy "British beef", and before he boarded the battleship Scharnhorst, the Japanese side had already negotiated with the German side.

Before boarding the Scharnhorst, Yamaguchi received information from the Japanese delegation and the Japanese envoy that the German side had accepted Japan's request to join the "feast" and promised Japan to help them communicate and lobby on the Chinese side.

Although China and Japan have already agreed on a preliminary plan for the future "new Asian order." But there are still many details to be discussed, and there is indeed a need for a "neutral" country to act as a mediator after too many blood feuds have accumulated between China and Japan over the past few decades.

The "German gods" said to Yamaguchi: "You should learn to fear the gods!" ”

Yamaguchi Tawen said proudly: "I am very in awe of the gods, but only for the gods of the Yamato nation!" ”

Lin Han watched Yamaguchi's monkey-like performance, and was very satisfied. He took the opportunity of merging with Hannah to play the role of "black face", and after this stimulation, Yamaguchi Tawen's worship and loyalty to "Yamato Nadeshiko" was also greatly deepened, and Li Huamei's actions and even thoughts in controlling the Japanese Navy in the future will also be easier.

When Tawen Yamaguchi and the "German gods" met on the Scharnhorst, more than 200 kilometers away on the sea. Another large fleet was closing in on Bergen.

The cold wind howled. The waves of the harsh weather continue to crash onto the deck, causing a splash of water. On the evening of the 23rd, with a cold snap, the sea conditions throughout the Norwegian Sea became extremely bad. Even when driving at full power. The maximum voyage of the main British fleet, with the Nelson, could barely reach nineteen knots. The maximum average fell by a full three sections.

Look out at the dark night. Holding the handrail tightly, Admiral Cunningham stood on the bridge of the "Nelson", and his heart was as bitter as the sky above him. This time, we took advantage of the bad weather to attack. As a last resort, he was newly appointed commander of the home fleet, and because he refused to attack on the 22nd, he was now under tremendous pressure from home.

Cunningham was promoted to commander of the Home Fleet on Churchill's recommendation, and it was naturally something to be proud of and excited to be able to command the Royal Navy's most powerful Home Fleet. But when he was urgently transferred back to China in the Mediterranean to take over the home fleet, he looked at the names of the warships that had been ticked off one by one on the list, and when he saw the home fleet that had been transferred to Scapa Bay, he already realized what kind of responsibility he had to bear.

"The Royal Navy must conduct naval battles at its own pace, and not be led by the nose by the German Navy as before!"

These are the words he personally said to Prime Minister Churchill when he took office, and Churchill also expressed his approval and support for him. The refusal to attack southern Norway on the 22nd, when the weather was good, was the product of his tactical assumptions. In Cunningham's view, the Royal Navy in front of the door has not yet returned to the best state in terms of equipment and morale, and the Norwegian battle broke out too early, and the Royal Navy participated too hastily, this is another battle in which the rhythm of the battle is preempted by the opponent, and the Royal Navy can no longer participate in naval battles with the rhythm of the opponent as last time.

If it weren't for the strong demand from home, Cunningham would not even be able to transfer all the main forces of the home fleet from the country in this attack on Norway. The Grand Fleet was dispatched at one time, with high costs and huge losses. At present, the Germans have a degree of superiority, and it is in their hands to fight or retreat, and it is completely pointless to maintain an excessively large number of troops, as long as he brings enough ships that can suppress the German fleet and make it dare not start a war lightly - psychologically, Cunningham's view is completely opposite to that of the belligerent and reckless top brass in the navy, and he even thinks that Norway is another trap prepared by the Germans for the British navy, so he does not want to fight a decisive battle with the German navy here at all.

According to Cunningham's assumption, the Royal Navy will have to wait until June this year, when the aircraft carrier Tejas is commissioned, before it can fight the German Navy. At that time, in addition to professional combat aircraft carriers, the Royal Navy will also receive no less than ten escort aircraft carriers to help fight. The North Sea and the Norwegian Sea are not as large as the Pacific Ocean, but in fact they are an open "small bathtub" with a small area, narrow depth, and a slower degree, and the role of escort aircraft carriers in participating in the decisive battle of the fleet here is far greater than that of the Pacific Ocean.

But Cunningham had no choice.

Churchill, who replaced Chamberlain, was also under tremendous pressure, and the British Empire's upper echelons needed a victory to account for the disastrous defeat at the Battle of Norway. Now that Germany has succeeded in blitzing Norway and capturing the Norwegian royal family and all government officials in one fell swoop, it has caused a new round of panic in Britain.

"Where is the Royal Navy?"

This is the voice of the entire people.

The question of the kidnapping of the military by the government and the kidnapping of the military by public opinion was equally strict in Britain, and at the strong demand of the London side, Cunningham disobeyed for only one day. He had to lead the fleet south.

"Let's hope the Germans' radar will be as unstable as we are in this bad weather."

In Commander Cunningham's main fleet, a total of six maritime search radars were installed. However, radar searches for sea targets are greatly affected by harsh sea conditions. In the current snowstorm with high winds and waves and snowflakes, the role of radar is greatly interfered with, and there are often snowflakes on the screen full of false warning signals. After the Battle of Norway, the British believed that the Germans' radar technology was superior to their own, so that the current Commander Cunningham was always less confident in the night battle, and his biggest concern at present was not the German air force, but the surprise attack of the German fleet in the night battle again, repeating the tragedy of the Norwegian Sea War.

The main fleet under Commander Cunningham. There were currently nine battleships. Fourteen cruisers and twenty destroyers, which is all the mobile forces that the British Navy can draw at present. This even created an emptiness in the Mediterranean Fleet on the Mediterranean side, so much so that cruisers had to be drawn from the Far Eastern Fleet to fill the void. In order to prevent the Italians from "misdeeds".

Of course. The consequences of the transfer of the Far Eastern Fleet located in Asia. That is, the ability of the British Navy to control the Pacific and Indian Oceans has plummeted, and it is even more pleasing to the fact that several German camouflaged attack ships that are wreaking havoc in the Pacific and Indian Oceans have greatly reduced the pressure on them to pursue them.

The crushing defeat in the Norwegian naval battle. It has a far-reaching impact on the global strategic layout of the British Navy, and the dilemma of demolishing the east and making up the west wall is becoming increasingly prominent.

One of the lessons of the Norwegian naval battle was that using a lightweight cruiser to charge a battleship with lightning strikes was simply stupid suicide. Today, Dönitz's submarine force is raging in the Atlantic, and a large number of destroyers are urgently needed to escort the British route, but a large number of destroyers are pinned down here by the German surface fleet, and the British Navy is painfully forced to choose. During this trip to the United States, Churchill proposed to buy a batch of old destroyers from the United States for use in the Atlantic, but he was met with the lion's mouth of the Americans, and the greedy cactus President of Ghana did not want cash, but asked the British to exchange the "50-year lease" of some islands in the Atlantic Ocean that belonged to the empire of the sun never set, and which were also sensitive to strategic points.

Churchill's disgust at this act of taking advantage of the danger of others was the main reason for his gaffe rant at Ghana. In this extremely difficult period for Britain, it was the "Japanese friends" in Asia who extended a helping hand, and they took the initiative to sell to the British a total of 20 old destroyers with a total of 20 years old. Although the price was also "friendly" enough to build two new destroyers, the British, who were slaughtered, were "moved to tears".

The fact that the Japanese are so eloquent is the result of foreseeing in advance that World War II is about to explode and that Britain is going to face a difficult situation. Ever since Li Huamei became the god of Japan in the form of Yamato Nadeshiko, under her inducement, she almost controlled the views of the emperor and the navy on the future pattern of world wars. After 1938, in addition to the construction of the battleship Yamato in favor of the navy, construction of three aircraft carriers was also started at the same time. The two ships were built in the name of replenishing the ships lost in China's intervention war, while the aircraft carrier, tentatively named Musashi, was a large aircraft carrier planned to be built by the Japanese Navy. In addition, another thing that the Japanese Navy did was to saturate all the shipyards and start building destroyers in large quantities.

In order to raise funds for the construction of ships, in addition to the Triple Alliance Treaty with Britain and France, the Japanese also signed a treaty with the Americans to limit the size of naval battleships in exchange for huge loans. In addition, in China's campaign to recover Northeast China, the "allies" Britain and the Americans did not have the good heart to take the initiative to send a large amount of war loans to Japan, but Japan took the loan with its left hand and devoted most of its right hand to naval construction. And the Japanese army in the northeast. Just like when the Northeast Army lost the Northeast Army, it took the initiative to retreat without making any decent resistance, and the loss of military spending was very small.

By January 194o, more than ten of the fastest destroyers had been launched. And the old ship, which was so old that it should have been sent to the shipbreaking yard a long time ago, met a big buyer of Kaizi at this time. When Churchill encountered the Americans' "cattle killing knife" in the United States and was painfully faced with the forced choice of "selling his field," the Japanese took the initiative to extend a hand of "assistance."

The main reason why the Japanese are helping each other so much is that Japan, which is in the midst of a large-scale shipbuilding project, is facing the dilemma of breaking the capital chain, so why not sell an old destroyer at a sky-high price. Just to help the Navy replace a good and newer warship? Due to the anticipation of the outbreak of World War II, the Japanese shipyards converted these destroyers, which were originally coal-burning, into oil-fired boilers in advance, which could be used by the British as soon as they took over.

According to the current strategic assumption of the Japanese Navy, they would take action against Britain after the completion of the Yamato and the new aircraft carrier in 1941, and the Japanese upper echelons did not want to see Britain lose the war prematurely. I don't want to see the British prematurely cornered and then take the initiative to "sell" the colonies to the United States in exchange for much-needed ships -- in the current view of the Japanese upper echelons, there are still many people in the navy who are unwilling to go to war with the United States and who fantasize that they can sit down at the table with the United States and share a "beef sharing" feast.

Those old-fashioned Japanese destroyers with a high center of gravity. Short range. In fact, it is not suitable for the sea conditions of the Atlantic. But it is still an important combat force for the British, who are being bullied by the German sea wolves. The reason for the high center of gravity was that the Japanese piled up too many guns on the ship, which was actually very easy to solve. Anyway, the goal is only anti-submarine and escort, just dismantle too much artillery and keep a small number of artillery against submarines. After the dismantling of too much artillery. These obsolete old destroyers with the cooperation of supply ships. Crossing the Pacific Ocean, the Guò Panama Canal reached the Atlantic, where it was received by the British Navy, which had been there for a long time. Immediately participated in the escort mission in the Atlantic. If it weren't for the Japanese's "charcoal in the snow", Commander Cunningham would have had fewer destroyers at his disposal.

Regarding the Japanese selling ships to the British, Hannah thought about using Li Huamei's special status to disrupt the deal. But Li Huamei refused Hannah's request, in Li Huamei's view, the biggest enemy of Germany at present is not the dead tiger Britain, but the United States, which is grinding its teeth on the spot. At present, the "brain" of the Japanese Combined Fleet has been controlled by Li Huamei, and in the future decisive battle with the US forces, she needs stronger strength so that the Americans will shed more blood, so it is necessary to strengthen the combat strength of the Japanese Navy -- in fact, it was Li Huamei who secretly planned to encourage the Japanese to sell the old destroyers to the British. This is also the first time that Lin Han and Hannah have encountered an incident in which their "doppelganger" "broke away from control and made their own opinions" in international affairs.

According to General Cunningham's plan, his destroyer fleet would attack Bergen Harbor tonight. If the German fleet was not in the harbor at that time, he would have taken advantage of the snowstorm to shell the harbor and destroy the facilities in the harbor.

Having completed the task of shelling the port of Zoergen, his fleet would continue southward and then cross the Kattegat Strait to the outer port of Oss 6 to shell the port of Os6. It was planned that the main fleet of the British Navy would go all the way south, destroying facilities along the Norwegian coastal ports in order to slow down the Germans' utilization of these ports. Although the Germans succeeded in blitzing Norway, a large amount of heavy equipment could not be transported to Norway, and the destruction of ports and the cutting off of shipping in these days were of great significance to the next military operation of the British army in Norway, which was the main reason why Downing Street ignored the advice of Commander Cunningham, the front-line commander, and repeatedly asked him to go south.

Front-line officers think from a tactical point of view, while the upper echelons of the rear see things from a strategic point of view. At present, the British government is urgently negotiating with the French government to discuss the topic of the joint dispatch of the six armies of the two countries to fight Norway with the Germans. In this plane, due to the butterfly effect of the Traverser, naval battles in the Norwegian campaign were much larger in scale and form than in history.

The time came to January 24, two o'clock in the morning.

The main British fleet, by this time, had marched to the open sea about forty kilometers from the port of Bergen.

The wind and waves at sea are getting stronger, and the waves stirred up when the bow of the ship is moving and bumpy can sometimes even hit directly on the bulletproof windshield of the bridge.

The port of Bergen is just around the corner.

At this time, the radar crews in the formation reported to Commander Cunningham that several large targets suspected to be warships were moving at a cruising range of about 14 knots near the port of Bergen.

Cunningham asked, "Are you sure?" ”

The radar soldier replied: "It can only be determined that it is a large target." The snowstorm in front of us was too big, and the Radar Xun was interfered with, and we could barely confirm that it was a large ship, a total of four. ”

The sea is no better than the sky, and the old-fashioned radar of the early stage of World War II makes it difficult to distinguish the exact size of the target according to the signal. Rough estimates can only be made empirically, and such estimates are extremely inaccurate and have a very high rate of false positives. Especially in the harsh sea conditions of such a blizzard, the accuracy of the radar signal feedback is ridiculously low.

Commander Cunningham asked again, "What about small targets?" ”

The radar soldier replied, "I can't see it! The sea conditions outside are too bad, the interference is strict, and the small ships are small in size, and the signals are not obvious, they are all covered by the interference signals, and it is impossible to distinguish. ”

At this time, in the command room of the flagship Nelson, Commander Cunningham's fingers repeatedly tapped the metal countertop, and after ten consecutive taps, he gave the order to attack.

So, with ten destroyers at the head and the rest of the large ones behind, his fleet rushed murderously towards the current target.

Before the start of the war, Commander Cunningham received information from the technical department that as far as the current British and American radar technology is concerned, in bad weather, if the current technology wants to use the radar to provide the effect of fire control and shooting, the current technology cannot do it, and the Germans are very likely to do it.

However, Cunningham brought with him a full nine battleships, plus a vote of destroyers and a large number of cruisers. Even if the Germans had superiority in fire control radar, the sheer numerical superiority of nine battleships was there, and a hard fight could knock out the opponent's battleships. The German Navy only has three or two big cats and small cats, and once the two Shane-class battleships are sunk, there is nothing to be afraid of.

However, before the attack, Commander Cunningham sent 10 destroyers to take the lead, preparing to take advantage of the destroyers' small radar reflection signals to seize the front and launch a lightning attack in advance.

"Those bastards of the domestic technical department!"

Commander Cunningham thought gloomily as the destroyer fleet sorted.

I remember that before the war, people in the technical department repeatedly claimed that the sixteen-inch main gun could not be installed in a 40,000-ton battleship and have the defense and good seaworthiness of a battleship, but the Germans just did all this and built two fantastic and perfect "works of art". As soon as he thought of the Royal Navy being cheated by these technical personnel, Commander Cunningham picked up a pistol and killed them.

Before this sortie, the people in the technical department were much more rigorous in their speculation about the performance of the German Navy's radar, but those rigorous words were all "conservative nonsense" to ensure that they would not make mistakes, absolutely correct, but also absolutely useless.

Dozens of kilometers away on the sea, a relatively small German fleet was "silently" sailing on the sea at this time.

All the ships were strictly controlled by the lights, and although there was a "possession" of the ship's soul to navigate, it was completely safe to sail with lights, and in order to train the crew's ability to coordinate, the German fleet still used this "superfluous" method.

Yamaguchi is now in the chart room of the Scharnhorst, which is now the command center of the German fleet. As a "friend of Japan," he received special permission from the "German gods" on board the ship to enter the core of the fleet's command and observe how the German navy took advantage of their greatest advantage of the "soul of the ship" to beat the British navy in the dark.

He was joined by several other Japanese naval commissioners, all of whom would be part of the elite of the fleet who would serve in Japan's new warships in the future.
