The 289th perfect battleship Yamato

The Yamato battleship after the magic transformation, under the construction of Li Huamei, absorbed a lot of design ideas and ideas of German battleships, especially the design ideas of the two Shane-class battleships.

The most anachronistic design idea of the Shane-class battleship is that the keel that makes up the hull support of the ship is much thinner than that of ordinary ships. The reason for this is that the protective armor plates of the hull cooperate with the "hull integration" technology, and also participate in a large number of the overall load-bearing capacity of a large number of battleships.

In such a situation, two Shann-class battleships, without adding additional weight, can get a large amount of free weight to strengthen the TDS protection design of the fleet.

When the battleship Scharnhorst was attacked by British Swordfish attack planes at night in Oslo, it was hit by two torpedoes, and the hits of those two torpedoes were still very close, and it was only 3,000 tons of water when it was hit so badly. After the incident, it only took more than 20 days to repair it in the shipyard, and the excellent TDS lightning protection design was not effective.

This is also due to the fact that the Germans did not design large warships for too long and did not dare to let go too far when reducing the weight of the keel. After accumulating experience in designing, building and using the Scharnhorst, the new design of the Bismarck-class battleship, which is under construction, is very free in this regard.

The experience of the Germans, with the "help" of Li Huamei, was also quickly passed on to the Japanese designers. The keel of the large battleship, which was originally the focus of the load-bearing structure, was also frighteningly "thin", and a large amount of the weight saved was appropriated to the TDS lightning protection structure of the hull to enhance the defense force. The weight of the riveting parts saved by the integration of the hull is all used to strengthen the protection.

The design of the battleship, the overall center of gravity of the hull is an extremely important indicator, and the weight of the underwater part of the battleship Yamato has not actually been reduced much from the original design, and the weight saved is used to strengthen the launching lightning protection structure. The current battleship Yamato, in terms of underwater protection capabilities. Even by the most conservative estimates, it is now fully capable of withstanding an explosive yield of 500 kilograms of TNT – compared to 400 kilograms for the original design. (Note: The Iowa-class battleships of the United States in real history could only withstand a blow of 300 kg of TNT, and the German "original" Bismarck-class battleships required to fight 250 kg of TNT), and the protection capability was greatly increased.

And the upper part of the hull building, the main weight reduction part is the structural department of those "insignificant" buildings. The hull integration technology allows almost every major part of the hull to participate in the overall load-bearing.

The power system of the battleship Yamato, which had been completed, and its boilers and steam turbines were all high-quality products imported from Germany before the war - in order to deliver them before the war in Europe. This batch of power systems was originally intended for the Bismarck-class battleships, which the Germans appropriated and sold to the Japanese. Not only the battleship Yamato, but also the other three aircraft carriers that are about to be completed, the power systems used are all imported from Germany.

In the past four months, Li Huamei has moved back and forth in the four docks, and the main thing she has done is to integrate and renovate the steam pipelines of the four ships. This modification can greatly increase the time for the warship to work at its maximum operating power.

In order to strengthen the Japanese Navy and set fire to the Americans, secret military-technical cooperation between Japan and Germany has continued for more than a year.

The Japanese obtained the manufacturing drawings and design techniques of the 3.7-inch and 4.7-inch high-level dual-purpose guns provided by the British. But as soon as they turned around, these technologies were quickly handed over to the Germans for technical exchange, and the Germans provided the Japanese with samples and a full set of design drawings for the 40-mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun and the 30-mm five-barreled Gatling gun.

In order to improve the strength of the Japanese, Hannah even sold the Japanese a batch of high-quality precision machine tools at a high price, and provided the latest Keplung armor technology - in exchange, the Japanese took out the Harvey steel technology sold to them by the British and the latest Merlin engine technology.

Japan was not a technological power, but after the outbreak of war in Europe, the British were cornered by the Germans. The Japanese, who were forced to open up their technology to the Americans on a large scale, were "allies" of the British and "small and weak". The British side also "generously" provided a lot of good things, and then, at the instigation of Li Huamei, these technologies were secretly sent to the Germans for technology exchange.

Today, Japan's international strategy has taken a big turn for the better, and it is caught between China, the Soviet Union, Germany, and Britain and the United States. After absorbing the strengths of Britain and Germany, its domestic military technology has made a qualitative leap. And these technological leaps. It was also clearly demonstrated on the battleship Yamato.

In the Japanese Navy, the triple armored 25-mm anti-aircraft guns, which can be called pit fathers, are now being "discontinued" from the navy and replaced by 40-mm Bofors antiaircraft guns and five-barreled 30-mm Gatling guns that are being secretly developed and produced -- the reason why the larger 30-mm guns are chosen instead of the traditional 20-mm anti-aircraft guns is that the characteristics of the "Grumman Iron Works" of the United States in the future Pacific War are taken into account. In front of the coarse-skinned American plane, the 20-millimeter caliber is really not enough.

According to the design requirements, a total of sixty single-barreled 30-mm guns could be installed on the battleship Yamato. In order to "help" the Japanese solve the problem of mass production of 30-mm machine guns, the Germans generously exported a batch of related precision machine tool manufacturing equipment to Japan through Italy.

On the battleship Yamato, which was about to be commissioned, the hull was arranged in a hexagonal shape according to one in the front and one in the front and one on the left and two on the left and right, and six additional five-mounted 30-mm five-barreled Gatling guns were also installed, and these six anti-aircraft guns could be personally controlled by Han Li Huamei and Katyusha at any time. Unlike Hannah and Lin Han, today's "Yamato Nadeshiko" is a combination of Li Huamei and Katyusha, and the two can be quietly separated during the battle, and operate two Gatling anti-aircraft guns at the same time, in terms of air defense capabilities, "Yamato Nadeshiko" is better than Lin Han and Hannah in short-range air defense capabilities.

In addition, twenty-four four-mounted 40-mm Bofors guns will be installed on the battleship Yamato to be responsible for medium-range defense, and these Bofors guns are also "generous" by the Germans to provide design drawings and samples. (Sixteen similar anti-aircraft guns of the Iowa class)

The long-range anti-aircraft gun on the Yamato will be served by ten twin-mounted 127 mm high-level dual-purpose guns, which are actually the Japanese version of the British Navy's 4.7-inch (about 120 mm) high-level dual-purpose gun, but also absorb part of the design of the German Navy's 128-mm anti-aircraft artillery dual-purpose gun, integrating the strengths of the British and German families. However, this high-level dual-purpose gun is still under development and testing.

Some of the defects in the protection design of the Yamato ship, which were criticized by later generations, have also been corrected in this era. For example, the six 155-mm secondary guns on the Yamato, which were ineffective and would cause defects in the battleship's protection, were directly canceled and replaced with 127-mm high-level dual-purpose guns. The layout and position of its secondary gun ammunition depot and the thickness of its armor have also been adjusted accordingly, and after the completion of the battleship Yamato, it can be called the most powerful and perfect battleship in the world.

The main gun of the Yamato was a 460 mm (18 inches) cannon, and after the three turrets were on the ship, Li Huamei also planned to modify them. In order to carry out the magic reform more efficiently, Lin Han will quietly sneak into Japan, "merge" with Li Huamei and Ka Qiusha again, and then start the final "magic reform" work

As the Yamato was built day by day, the power of faith of the Japanese was absorbed more and more, and Li Huamei Katyusha, who was attached to the Yamato, also felt that her body was slowly evolving. During the construction of the Yamato, Li Huamei and Katyusha briefly separated for forty days, during which time Katyusha was on tour to return to the United States to gain faith and a sense of survival. Today, Katyusha is a celebrity in the United States, and her prolonged disappearance will arouse suspicion from outsiders. During the separation of the two, Li Huamei did not show up under the pretext that she needed to sleep and recuperate, but in fact, she quietly left Japan for Southeast Asia. Lin Han is now in Europe and cannot be distracted, and the affairs of Southeast Asia can only be handled by Li Huamei.

According to the plan, the Japanese Navy was not basically ready until 1941. But neither Lin Han nor Hannah could have predicted that the British Navy would be defeated so quickly, and in early 1940, it would be completely annihilated. The British Navy was finished prematurely, which caused Hannah and Linhan's plans to deviate greatly.

In March 1940, after Japan held a secret meeting of the top cabinet and set the tone for waging the Pacific War, the next day the leader of this gang of devils hurriedly came to "Yamato Nadeshiko" to ask her opinion.

So far, Li Huamei's relationship with Japan's top brass is still in the honeymoon period.

Although Li Huamei has repeatedly demanded that after the outbreak of war, the dividends of the war must be enjoyed by the civilians, and there can no longer be a scene where the country has won the war, but the civilians are still poor. Although Li Huamei's demands harmed the interests of Mitsui Mitsubishi and other consortium chaebols, at the same time, due to her advance "prediction" of the war in Europe, the Japanese consortium made a lot of money in the international futures market through financial means, and the entire top management gained huge profits as a result. Even the current Emperor Chongren, before the outbreak of the war, he took out all his private houses to carry out related financial speculation activities, and also took advantage of the east wind of Europe to make a lot of money.

"Even if it is the devil, as long as it can bring huge benefits to the capitalists, the greedy capitalists will kneel down and lick their hemorrhoids."

So far, Li Huamei's "god" has great prestige and influence in the upper echelons of Japan.

Li Huamei demanded that the war dividends be distributed to civilians in the future, but this is a very "distant" thing, so the contradictions between her and these people have not intensified. (To be continued......)
