"My Uncle Chengzhang, do you know the displacement of the Yamato?! That's 65,000 tons! Tu Menghu almost couldn't hold back his scolding.

Is the Yamato so easy to salvage?! The whole hull has exploded, and it's not cost-effective to salvage this thing!

Ship salvage is not an easy task, especially for such a warship with a huge displacement. The money, time and effort it takes to salvage it is absolutely terrifying.

The Yamato has been blown up and shattered, and Tu Menghu doesn't think that he can do anything else to salvage it. Re-furnace or museum?! Either way, it's not a good deal.

The overall salvage steps of the wreck are extremely cumbersome and complex. First of all, anchor is positioned to prevent the hull from shifting due to seawater currents. At the same time, it is also necessary to prepare to clean up the silt and sediment brought by the sea water on the ship.

However, it also required countless huge tugboats, which were made up of sturdy steel cables to form a huge net through the hull of the battleship. Countless barges need to constantly pull the net pockets and slowly pull the battleship to the water.

This process is the most dangerous, the huge warship is under the water, and if you want to pull it up, then the physics and buoyancy in the middle need to be calculated by special engineers.

A small oversight could well result in the trawler being towed directly into the sea by the rapidly sinking battleship. This will kill a lot of people and lead to the loss of the tugboat.

And those steel cables should also be noted, the salvage of such a large warship is not something that can be solved in a while. Therefore, the towing line needs to take into account the corrosive nature of seawater, and at the same time take into account the long-term serviceability.

And when the tugboat slowly dragged the battleship out of the sea. It will require a large number of restoration personnel to enter the battleship to carry out repairs. Including welding, plugging, dredging...... And so on.

The ultimate goal is to ensure that the warship at least recovers its self-floating capability. And this process is also extremely long, especially for such a giant warship.

Arguably. Now there is no experience in the world in salvaging large warships of more than 60,000 tons. The USS Arizona, a large US battleship sunk in Pearl Harbor, was only 32,000 tons.

The Yamato, on the other hand, is more than twice as high as him, and the cost of salvaging such a super battleship is definitely increasing exponentially. And the Yamato, it's definitely not worth so much money.

Battleships have withdrawn from the era, and the navy of this era is the era of aircraft carriers, cruisers and submarines. Aircraft carriers, on the other hand, are the top priority in naval combat forces.

"Sixth Uncle Qi~ My sixth uncle, you can take a look. Uncle Cheng Zhang is having a convulsion, does he really think that we have too much money now......" Tu Menghu smiled bitterly and handed Shen Honglie's whimsical plan to Su Zongzhe, who rushed in front of him.

Su Zongzhe took the plan and read it in a hurry. It can only be a wry smile.

"In terms of revenue alone, salvaging the Yamato is indeed extremely cost-effective. But commander-in-chief, you also have to understand the Navy's mind......" Su Zongzhe sighed: "Lao Shen knew that the Dingyuan was demolished by the Japanese, and he took it to build a house to commemorate it. How big is the anger in that stomach......"

"I reckon. He was looking for revenge. The pride of the Japanese, the Yamato, was salvaged and used for exhibitions and morale boosting the Navy. ”

Tu Menghu rolled his eyes, in fact, how could he not know what Shen Honglie was thinking?! It's just not easy to break. The Navy has now just won a big victory, and has achieved hegemony from the Indian Ocean to the Western Pacific.

It can be described as a spring breeze with a horse's hooves. Domestically, the Navy has intensified its propaganda efforts. At the same time, naval academies began to recruit more commanders and fighters to study.

Victory was won. But the replenishment of troops turned out to be a huge problem. Captains are not so easy to be and not so easy to train. The Navy, like the Air Force, costs more to train a group of qualified sailors than a battleship.

And an excellent captain is not much less expensive to train than a battleship. These are things that take a lot of time and money to pile up, and there is no rush.

"I guess Uncle Cheng Zhang wants to take advantage of this great victory to lay a century-old foundation for the navy......" Tu Mengben was silent for a while, and sighed: "Our navy's foundation is too thin, and because of the fiasco of the First Sino-Japanese War, there are great shortcomings in the minds of the Chinese people......

Uncle Chengzhang insisted on salvaging the Yamato. On the one hand, it is necessary for the Navy to improve its self-confidence. On the other hand, it is a kind of propaganda campaign for the navy. After a pause, Tu Menghu said: "After all, compared to the Air Force and the Army. There are not many records that the Navy can handle. If you don't take the opportunity to publicize it, how many people are willing to go to the navy......"

Tu Menghu's words made Su Zongzhen speechless for a while. Indeed, because the navy is a branch of the armed forces that are extremely demanding on technology, the requirements for the quality of the soldiers are even higher.

In particular, the modern navy has a lot of shooting elements, coordination, adaptability and psychological ...... and so on, the requirements are extremely high. In the Wehrmacht, only the Air Force can compete with the Navy in terms of troop requirements.

The navy also includes complex arms, naval aviation, naval gunners, helmsmen, wheels, ...... and so on, all of which require specialized personnel to be responsible.

Not only do these people need to be proficient in the skills they are responsible for, but they also need to adapt to the ups and downs of the sea and their diet. It is even more necessary to endure the loneliness of long-term sailing.

"Even if that's the case, it's not the best time." Su Zongzhe sighed and said, "We need to put most of our forces into the war now. ”

"Besides, we don't have that much time and energy to focus on salvaging the Yamato. There were too many tugboats needed to salvage the Yamato, and we simply didn't have that many tugboats. ”

Tu Menghu lit the table, muttered for a while, and said, "We don't have it." But someone has ......"

Su Zongzhe glanced at his commander-in-chief suspiciously, who can have so many tugboats?! Tu Menghu smiled slightly, and pointed his finger at a huge country on a large world map.

"Let's not forget that some people were holding us back when we attacked Japan. Now, it's time for them to make amends for it......"

And just as Tu Menghu and Su Zongzhe were discussing the matter, Hideki Tojo's troops in Fukuoka finally ran out of the last drop of blood. The base camp argued for a full three hours. before agreeing to their withdrawal from Fukuoka.

After receiving the telegram agreeing to withdraw the troops, Hideki Tojo looked at the Wehrmacht troops who were constantly crushing in. Where can I get out now?!

As soon as he left his position now, then the armored forces of the Wehrmacht would immediately begin to hunt him down. Can you run a tank on two legs?! Can you outrun a fighter?!

The Japanese soldiers fought for several days. Can you compete with the Wehrmacht units that fight in rotation?! None of this is clearly possible.

"Tojo-san, we don't have more than two wings left now......" Yamada Otozo walked into the headquarters covered in gunsmoke and said in a deep voice: "It seems that ...... We have entered the final moments. ”

"Let's be buried...... Hideki Tojo put down the telegram and said in a trembling voice: "At least this way, it can still preserve the last bit of dignity of you and my emperor......"

"I don't want my descendants to be disgraced by me, even if they are defeated. At least we can use our lives to buy some dignity for them. ”

Artillery roared from the positions. As soon as the Japanese soldiers of the two wings rushed to the position, they were immediately broken apart by the roar of the tiger. Broken stones, wailing soldiers, and screaming crowds of people scattered......

Guns were thrown all over the floor. Indeed, not all of them are so brave. When the last line of defense that held on to the heart collapsed. All hard work and patience will cease to exist.

The empire has collapsed, Japan has collapsed. This incident broke the last psychological bottom line of the Japanese soldiers. Although the cabinet and the base camp tried in every possible way to conceal this fact.

In fact, however, the truth has spread, and there is no reason for patience in Japan as a whole. The final bottom line that everyone mentally insisted on collapsed.

"Tojo. What are you going to do?! Yamada looked at the chaos outside the headquarters. Everywhere there were people running away. Countless Japanese soldiers directly dropped their guns and fled to the rear without their lives.

And behind them, there was the rushing Wehrmacht armored units. The tanks brought up puffs of dust and smoke, and all the ruins were blown up by the tracks.

The Wehrmacht soldiers followed the rear of the tank in silence and slowly pressed forward. There were no more Japanese soldiers alive on the position.

Those screaming and covered in blood were killed by the Wehrmacht soldiers who rushed up......

"Let's preserve our last dignity......" Hideki Tojo laughed miserably, pulling out his pistol and pointing it at his heart.

He could not speak of the courage of caesarean sections, although he admired those who were disemboweled. But he asked himself if he couldn't do it. He couldn't bear the pain of a caesarean section. Perhaps, it is more acceptable for him to die like this.

Yamada Otozo smiled wryly and pulled out his pistol. Since it is death, then it is necessary to die together. At least so that his family will not be disgraced by himself......

"Bang! Bang!! Two gunshots rang out......

But Yamada and Tojo are not dead. Because the pistols in their hands were all knocked away, and at the same time, a group of men in khaki gilli suits rushed into the headquarters with expressionless faces.

Yamada Otozo and Hideki Tojo were quickly pushed to the ground, and several men who had knocked them down quickly buckled them and tied them up with ropes.

"Don't want to die so easily, unless we want you to die. Otherwise, you'll have to live, live until I think you can die. ”

A man at the head grinned, looked at the two stunned senior Japanese officers and said, "Our commander-in-chief is tired of collecting sabers now, and I heard that he has been constipated again." So I plan to find two generals who have been the commanders of the Japanese base camp to clean the toilets. This probably works wonders for laxatives! Hahaha......"

"I protest! You are not in the spirit of the Geneva Conventions! We demand the treatment of prisoners of war, we demand that they be treated humanely! We ask for ......"

Hideki Tojo was the first to react, and death was not possible. In that case, let's fight for some treatment for your living self. At least, let yourself not live so miserable.

"Geneva, that's a **!" The Wehrmacht officer squirted disdainfully: "What our commander-in-chief hasn't signed, that's!" Whatever?! Take! ”

The officer laughed, and walked out of the headquarters with his booty. All the documents that could be found in the headquarters were collected and brought back to the rear of the Wehrmacht.

Half an hour later. Fukuoka was fully occupied by the Wehrmacht. Subsequently, all the remnants of the Japanese forces hiding in the bomb shelters were eliminated. Most of the Japanese soldiers surrendered after learning that Hideki Tojo and Otsuzo Yamada had been captured.

There are only a handful of recalcitrant ones. It was torn to pieces directly by the fire crow and the squirrel. The Wehrmacht does not need bomb shelters, so the only fate of any bomb shelter that returns fire is to be completely destroyed.

Explosives will be thrown into the cave and then blown up entirely. If you don't surrender, you die. This is the logic of the Wehrmacht now. Very simple.

"We don't have time to play games with these people, so we can pack up as soon as possible and travel to Tokyo." This is an order handed down by the Commander-in-Chief of the Wehrmacht, Tu Menghu.

"Clean up the battlefield and clean it up if it's worthwhile. The recalcitrant sat directly and tried to escape all the processing. It's as simple as that. ”

It's really simple. But behind the simplicity is a bloody storm......

News of the fall of Fukuoka soon reached Tokyo, and almost all Japanese forces around Fukuoka were withdrawn to Kyoto and Tokyo for a full-scale defense.

They knew that they would not be able to defend themselves against the Wehrmacht if they continued to carry out their previous battle plan. The only thing they can do now. Only the concentration of forces in an attempt to deplete the Wehrmacht's combat power.

The militia, which had been organized, broke out in half overnight. In order to carry out the "Jade Shattering" plan, the base camp had to send a team of overseers to monitor these militias.

"The empire is completely finished...... Tou Shanman said as he watched the overseers shoot the old people and children who tried to escape directly in public.

"From the Meiji Restoration, we rose. Until now, it has fallen in full swing. We've risen so fast. But it fell so fast......" Toushan looked at all this with a wry smile.

And standing beside him was the current cabinet caretaker of Saionji Gongwang. Since the failure of the negotiations, Saionji has been summing up why it has been blocked by radicals.

Subsequently, he thought of Toushan Man. This reckless hero was brought into his field of vision from then on, and he began to come into contact with Toushan Man. Although he used to be extremely disdainful of the godfather of the underworld.

"Toushan...... Now we have to admit that the empire is finished. If you want more people to live, you can only agree to the terms of negotiations with the Wehrmacht......"

Xiyuan Temple smiled helplessly: "Only in this way can we have a chance to survive." Otherwise. All that awaits us is slaughter. ”

"Don't think that the tiger and his army will be able to do it, just look at the history of China. Chinese never show mercy to their enemies......"

Toushan smiled bitterly. Why didn't he know that?! In the second year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese invaders rioted in Zhili and Zhejiang, and Ming Chengzu sent the lieutenant Zheng He to Japan to beg for thieves and go to sea from Taohuadu near Ningbo.

Subsequently, the Japanese king Gendao sent an envoy to present the Japanese invaders captured on the islands of Iki and Tsushima; He ordered him to be dealt with according to the laws of his own country, so that one man could be set on fire, and he would steam them in a steamer to make an example.

At that time, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the third shogun of the Muromachi shogunate, received a proclamation from Zheng He, saying: "Let him suppress the Kou on his own and govern the law of his own country." Subsequently, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu did not dare to slack off and quickly accepted the reward of the Ming Dynasty, and sent envoys to present the captured Japanese robbers, and formally established diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, the two sides signed the "Exploration Trade Treaty", and Japan carried out tributary trade to the Ming Dynasty in the name of a subject country. The Ming Dynasty gave Ashikaga Yoshimitsu a gold seal of "King of Japan", and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu replied to himself as "King of Japan, Minister Source Yoshimitsu".

Why would he be so docile, and even cook his own people to please Da Ming?! The reason is very simple, Zheng He did not go alone at that time. At that time, Zheng He brought 100,000 sailors!

And Japan, which has had comprehensive exchanges with China since the Tang Dynasty, knows better than anyone what can happen if it humiliates the country. The former Eastern Turks were so brilliant that they could force Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, to be humiliated by Bai Deng. Jieli and Tuli forced Tang Taizong to suffer the shame of Weishui.

But they didn't be able to enjoy it for long, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rose and took his fierce generals to kill the Xiongnu all the way away. And Jieli and Tuli, who had persecuted Tang Taizong, eventually became prisoners of the emperor.

In just a few years, they could only dance in Chang'an to survive. In the end, the Eastern Turks could only end in extinction.

"So what are you going to let me do, Your Excellency?!" Tou Shanman was silent for a long time before he said, "You know my status, and you know that there is not much I can do. But for the sake of the country, I think I'll do my best. ”

"You can do it, Toushan." Xiyuan Temple turned its head and couldn't bear to look at the blood all over the ground, and said to Toushan with the corpses that were thrown on the road for public display: "I want to negotiate, even if the conditions are harsh." We can only accept ......"

"This is the only way for us to keep more people alive. But now a lot of radicals are trying to stop me from negotiating. Xiyuan Temple paused and said, "These people, I hope you can watch them......"

"Wouldn't it be better to clean it up?!" Tou Shanman frowned and said, "It's only bad for these people to stay." Instead of making them time bombs, it's as simple as making them disappear altogether. ”

The Duke of Xiyuan Temple looked at the corpses outside the window with a wry smile and said, "We have enough dead. For the sake of this country, let's die less, let's die less......"

Hearing this, Toushan stood up solemnly and bowed deeply to Xiyuan Temple. Said: "The magnanimity of His Excellency Xiyuan Temple makes me ashamed. And in this matter, Toushan will do his best! (To be continued......)
