Chapter 261: The Unrecognizable Plan for the Development of the Japanese Navy

After the naval battle on 24 January, the brilliant victory of the German Navy took the members of the Japanese observation group aboard the ship by surprise. After the battle, when they returned to their lodgings after having not slept all night, they immediately closed the door to discuss what they had learned from the previous night.

In the minds of most Japanese, they think that Germany, a "technological power", has developed a very advanced "electric detection technology" (the Japanese term for radar), but only a few people who know about it, such as Tabun Yamaguchi and Chiaki Matsuda, know what is going on.

Li Huamei's existence is currently only known to a very small number of high-level officials in Japan, and it is because Yamaguchi Tawen and Chiaki Matsuda have been "appreciated" by Li Huamei, so they are not qualified enough to know this "top secret" in advance.

With the support of Takahito, Yamaguchi Tabun was already the captain of the scheduled aircraft carrier Musashi. And Chiaki Matsuda was the captain of the future battleship Yamato. In the Japanese Navy, Chiaki Matsuda is known as a geek, both a discerning gunner and a strategically minded doer. In Japan, where the second middle school is rampant, this person is a rare "pragmatic person." ”

Historically, before the Battle of Midway, it was Chiaki Matsuda, who was still Osa's at the time, who was still Osa, based on his actual combat experience, to demonstrate the importance of radar in various ways, so that radar research could continue. Later, he was appointed captain of the battleship Yamato.

During his tenure as the captain of the "Yamato", although the "Yamato" was stationed in the Truk Islands, he still did not get the order to go to the front line, and he had a great opinion, and after the war, he said that Japan would die on Yamato and Musashi, "A girl from a poor family, tighten her belt to buy beautiful clothes, and buy several pieces, and she is usually reluctant to wear them, and she wants to compare with the rich lady's family, and thinks about these things all day long." How is it possible to pass the exam? ”

The biggest problem of the Japanese Navy is that it is extremely important to talk about seniority, and many outstanding talents find it difficult to get ahead because of their lack of qualifications, and a bunch of mediocre talents rely on the advantage of seniority to squeeze into high positions. Excellent talents such as Chiaki Matsuda and Tabun Yamaguchi can only give way to mediocre talents like Nagumo Nakaichi because of their lack of qualifications.

Today's Li Huamei is bent on using Japan to make the United States bleed. How can such a talent be let go lightly. At her instigation, coupled with the help of Emperor Takahito, Yamaguchi Tawen and Matsuda Chiaki were "appreciated" by their superiors in advance and were constantly promoted.

Chiaki Matsuda pulled Yamaguchi to smell and hid in his room to talk to him alone. One of these two people is a big ship and a giant artillery faction, and the other is an aviation faction, and they are natural "sworn enemies". But the relationship between them is very good.

Matsuda Chiaki said: "One qiē as I foresaw!" The Germans, who possessed abilities similar to those of His Excellency Nadeshiko, relied on the advantage of complete control of battlefield intelligence, and almost played the British in the palm of their hands throughout the naval battle. The Imperial Navy now has such capabilities, so the Imperial Navy should still build more battleships, because half of the time in this world is night, and as long as it is night, it is the world of the Imperial Navy. ”

Yamaguchi said, "Matsuda-kun, don't be happy and too early, Nadeshiko Pavilion also told us before I came." Electroprosis in the United States and England is on display very quickly, only a few years at most. Their fire control and electronic detection technology will mature, and with the help of radar, the Imperial Navy's battlefield intelligence control advantage will be greatly reduced during night artillery battles. Moreover, naval artillery can only hit 30 kilometers at most, and the combat radius of the aviation is at least 200 kilometers, so the aviation represents the direction of the future development of the navy. ”

"The German aviation has done nothing these days."

"That's just because the weather is so bad here, and the Pacific Ocean is not the Atlantic."

"The Yamato battleship is the direction of the future exhibition of the Imperial Navy!"

"The Musashi-class aircraft carrier represents the future of the Navy!"

Talking, talking. Chiaki Akita and Tarumi Yamaguchi argued again, as usual, and then, as usual, they "ended up without a problem".

The outcome of the Battle of Bergen had a profound impact on the direction of naval exhibitions around the world. Even Li Huamei, who had knowledge of the former future, had to adapt to Japan's national conditions after learning the whole process of naval warfare. We are starting to rethink the direction of the Japan Naval Show in the coming years.

After exchanging views with Lin Han and Hannah, and after some discussion within the Japanese Navy, in February 194o, Japan decided to restart the construction of the Yamato-class battleship No. 2. In March of that year, the keel of the second ship of the Yamato-class began to be laid. In May, with the completion of the two aircraft carriers Ruihe and Xianghe, its improved Feilong and Canglong aircraft carriers also began to lay keels.

In the original history, the Flying Dragon and Soryu aircraft carriers were improved versions of the Kaga aircraft carriers, which began construction in July 1936 and were completed and commissioned in July 39. And Ruihe and Xianghe were built and commissioned later than them.

However, in this historical plane that was changed beyond recognition by the traversers, due to Japan's defeat in China in 1936, huge military expenditures, foreign debts, and the ensuing economic crisis, it was simply unable to spend money to add a ship to the navy before Li Huamei appeared, and all these planned shipbuilding plans were aborted.

It was not until after Li Huamei appeared, under her encouragement, that Emperor Chongren, who believed that he had "the help of the gods," restarted the plan to build new ships in the spirit of "smashing pots and selling iron to build a navy."

At present, Japan's newly built aircraft carriers, whether it is the unrecognizable "Musashi" or the two cranes, as well as the flying dragon and the blue dragon that will appear in the future, are very different from history in terms of tonnage and appearance. After the German Navy was changed beyond recognition, the Japanese Combined Fleet was also being "magically changed" by Li Huamei.

In the past few years, the Japanese side has finally scraped together enough money to add new ships by borrowing foreign debts to build a navy and using historical information to speculate on futures and ruthlessly slaughter the British. In addition, after the outbreak of World War II, Japan received a large number of British orders in Japan, and there was a short-term "war boom" in the economy.

Of course, Japan's approach was similar to that of Germany before 1939, when it borrowed foreign debt to build up armaments, it was doomed that it would have to go to war a few years later to plunder the foreign countries and pay off their debts, otherwise the repayment of the ensuing large debts would be enough to bankrupt their country. (To be continued!)
