Yamaguchi exclaimed angrily, "Yaga! This is a glorious tradition from the centuries-old Royal Navy, you dirt buns know a fart! Look at your appearance, it's almost like the horse manure of the army, it's really insulting to the name of the navy! ”

When the prisoner of war heard this, he became more and more disdainful, and sneered, "Hehe, what about the British Royal Navy? Aren't you still beaten by our 'dirt buns'? It turns out that your Japanese navy is just like that, no wonder in order to deal with our two warships, they actually want to pour out of the nest, and we still sink so many ships, in fact, your so-called naval tradition is just an excuse for yourself to continue to indulge in extravagance at a time of national crisis! The reason why the Western navy is well paid is because they have strong national strength and that spare power, while we in China are still very poor, and we want to be as extravagant and wasteful as them? What's more, even if I really have that spare money, I would rather the country use this money to build a few more warships, as for our own material treatment, it is enough to be able to eat and clothe ourselves."

When Yamaguchi heard this, he was struck by lightning, and he finally broke free from the stubbornness peculiar to the Japanese, and began to seriously reflect on the mistake of blindly copying the British when the navy was learning from the British. In his opinion now, many of the practices at that time were really stupid and naïve, such as the bricks used in the construction of the naval school had to be bought from Britain at a high price, and this money was enough to buy a medium-sized warship at that time, and if the national financial revenue spent by the navy's preferential treatment for more than half a century was all used to build or purchase warships, then the Japanese navy would now be the first in Shijie

What puzzled Yamaguchi was. Such an obvious problem, he has not realized anything wrong at all after so many years, not so much that the habits and traditions of Liliang are too big, but that Japan is particularly rigid in this regard, not to mention that even if some smart people find out about the problem, as vested interests, they generally will not take the initiative to expose it, and even because of the role of the subconscious, they will directly subconsciously selectively ignore and forget it. That's why the Japanese people don't have enough to eat, the emperor has a lot of food and clothing, but the navy still spends all the time and drinks the strange.

Actually, strictly speaking. If it weren't for Japan, it was almost on the verge of extinction this time. In addition, the British Royal Navy, which the Japanese Navy has always regarded as a teacher, has exposed unprecedented vulnerability, which has caused a subtle change in its mentality, just as they immediately abandoned the study of China for more than 1,000 years since the Sui and Tang dynasties when they discovered that China, the old empire, had fallen, and even the excellent Japanese naval generals like Yamaguchi Tawen would probably continue to deceive themselves on the grounds of "naval tradition". You must know that Yamaguchi, who has the nickname of "Big Stomach", is famous for his love of food in the Japanese Navy

And with further exchanges. Yamaguchi's attitude towards the prisoner of war gradually changed from disdain at the beginning to admiration. After learning that this young man named Sun Xuecheng was the Jishu officer in charge of the maintenance of the naval guns on the Zhiyuan, Yamaguchi Tashiwen persuaded him to surrender on the grounds that the Chinese prisoners of war would not have a good life even if they were released and returned to China. Sun Xuecheng's answer was, "Indeed, although the chief has repeatedly emphasized that being captured is different from surrendering, due to traditional concepts, we are likely to be poked in the back and scolded as 'traitors' for the rest of our lives after we go back, or at least 'cowards'." But we still have to go back, because we are Chinese! As long as you can continue to work for the country, watch the motherland become strong day by day, and to hell with the history of being bullied by the great powers in the past, what is it if you are wronged? ”

Yamaguchi Tawen didn't really regard Sun Xuecheng as such an important talent, after all, there were many Jishu personnel of this level in Japan, and he just wanted to know the information of China's new weapons, and when he saw that it was soft, he immediately put on a straight face and threatened, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" ”

"Do you think we were rescued because we were afraid of death?" , Sun Xuecheng looked at Yamaguchi Duowen without fear.

"Indeed, for some people, it is very easy to die, but it is even more difficult to endure humiliation and live, because the country needs to leave a useful body, and would rather live in pain for the rest of the year, these Chinese are real warriors", Yamaguchi Tawen tried all kinds of methods, but after all, he still failed to get a few captured people to speak, and then looked back and thought of what Sun Xuecheng had said at the beginning, and couldn't help but feel respect, and after the peace agreement was reached, he sent these gifts back to China without waiting for the official prisoner exchange to begin.

However, although these comrades were tight-lipped, Yamaguchi Tamon deduced some general information based on his knowledge and experience and the situation at the time: the enemy did not use secondary artillery in the initial battle, but there was no such special attack, indicating that it was the cannonballs and not the artillery that caused all this. It wasn't until the deception lured that the Hiei suddenly opened fire after approaching, which produced such an amazing destructive power, indicating that although the anti-armor ability of this armor-piercing projectile is extremely strong, the attenuation effect of distance is also very obvious, so it should be a type of armor-piercing that relies on kinetic energy, so when engaging Chinese warships in the future, it should be kept as far away as possible, and if you take into account the factor that the storage velocity effect of large-caliber shells is strong, the safest way is to use aircraft to deal with it, although the air defense capability of Chinese warships is surprisingly strong, But even if a hundred planes are exchanged for a large battleship, it will be earned. However, the pitiful bomb load of the dive bombers currently in service in the Japanese Navy was indeed a problem that could not be ignored, and Yamaguchi once again strongly recommended that the latest Stuka dive bomber, which has a bomb load of an astonishing 1.8 tons, be imported from Germany and modified as a carrier-based version

In addition, according to the memories of some survivors on the Hiei, the real reason for the sinking of the Hiei should be a fire inside the ammunition depot that caused the explosion, from which it can be further inferred that the shells used by the enemy are actually a special armor-piercing incendiary bombs, for which Japanese ships need to further enhance fire prevention and fire extinguishing capabilities, especially can not be ignored is that the latest incendiary bombs developed by the great powers are basically not afraid of water, so all ships need to increase the equipment of chemical fire extinguishers and strengthen personnel training. These measures greatly strengthened the survivability of the Japanese Navy's ships and the personnel on the ships, and the sharp reduction in casualties made the Japanese Navy's soldiers in the later Pacific War not like in history after several major naval battles appeared in a dilemma of lack of success, with the words and deeds of the veterans, and the new recruits added later also grew rapidly, thus greatly improving the Japanese Navy's sustained combat capability, of course, these are all later words (to be continued......

PS: At the end of the week, although the effect of the advertisement was much worse than I expected, I was very touched by everyone's support. The title of the book is "Anti-Japanese War" rather than "Anti-Japanese", which means that this novel is not just about fighting devils, but also about several prodigies who have been buried in history for various reasons, and what impact will they have on the course of history? Stay tuned ^_^
