In the later stages of the Pacific War, what was the lack of supplies in Japan?

403 only once delivered gold to the Japanese mainland, and only 500 tons were left, and the rest were all various war materials and even food such as diesel and rubber!

No. 403, which was able to fill 1,600 tons of diesel, was pumped out of the tank when it arrived in Japan, and only a little was left and could not even return to Southeast Asia, so it had to go to the nearest occupied port in China to replenish fuel before it could barely reach the Philippines.

Xiang Wan asked Lin Dong to show the Yi 400 deck plan: "The advantage of the catamaran submarine is that it is huge, and the pressure resistance and load capacity are very strong, and the disadvantage is that because the hangar and conning tower on the deck are not in the center, the balance is very important, and the maneuverability is relatively poor when launching torpedoes and emergency dives, so the second transportation is all loaded with gold." ”

The notebook is full of sad tones: " The precisely calculated fuel load was only 79 tons, the crew of 220 was reduced to 47, which was the minimum number of people who could start running 403, all the personnel involved in the battle were not on board, the three fighters on the deck were not loaded, the 150mm naval guns were removed, the four 25mm cannons were removed, all the torpedoes were removed, all the metal items that could be removed from the bed frame were removed, just to be able to install one more brick, the temporary defeat of the empire was inevitable, but these bricks could give the empire a chance to rise again!"

Xiang Wan, the child, was really indignant: "It's all the wealth plundered from China, so that Japan can turn over so quickly after World War II! Bandits! Executioners! Bastards!" is not at all like a competent translator.

Buck stretched out his hand to soothe his wife's affection: "Okay, okay, people are poor and bullied, the country was weak in that era, this is the result, and the debt will come back." ”

Xiang Wancai continued angrily: "The 403, which has a full draft of 6,500 tons underwater, is loaded with 3,000 tons of gold! This is in exchange for sacrificing all combat effectiveness, endurance and supplies, and this batch of bricks collected and smelted from Southeast Asian countries and southern China was loaded from Palawan to the ship, and it was successively attacked by guerrillas, local natives, and US military spies from all over the country...... In retrospect, we were even caught up in a conspiracy from this point on. ”

"On November 27, 1944, a Filipino courier with a letter bearing the seal of His Royal Highness Prince Hengde found us at an inland port and asked for a top-secret operation, to shut down all radio contacts, and to set off immediately to Luzon to replenish the last water and food, and then return to the mainland of Honshu...... I don't know much about this term, but it probably means that the submarine was traveling with only a little periscope exposed for most of its dive, and as a result, it was encountered by a night torpedo boat near the island of Busuanga!"

"Originally, I didn't quite believe that there would be American torpedo boats in this area, but this damn messenger told us that there have been a lot of American military activities in this area recently, and after only seeing a few lights passing through the sea, in view of the fact that the sky will be bright, and at that time we will only be exposed to a large number of American planes and submarine hunters, so we chose to dive and hide in this underwater cave under his construction, and the lifeboat did a standard underwater survey, and there was no problem with the width or the water depth of more than forty meters, and we came in very smoothly。 ”

"But just as everyone was resting on deck, ready to recharge for the night voyage, the messenger secretly went into the water to the rocks and detonated the explosives that had been buried long ago!"

"Damn the Filipino monkeys, they don't know how long this plan has been brewing, and I even suspect that the manservant next to His Royal Highness the Prince is the mastermind, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to get His Majesty's seal and handwritten letter! In the process of shaking the ground in this loose cave, 403 didn't have time to dive, and we could only kill the messenger on the side of the rock, the collapsed rock blocked the entrance, and 403's huge body would definitely not be able to get out with only the excavation of 47 crew members, but what we never expected was that by now, nearly half of the crew had fallen due to hunger and thirst, and we still couldn't find a little way for the personnel to get out! We don't have any food or water, we're already drinking blood and eating meat, the radio signal can't be transmitted, and we're locked in this cage!"

Xiang Wan's eyebrows fluttered when he translated this, and Ye Mingjing and Lin Dong also applauded: "The person who made this plan is really bold and careful, and he understands the geographical situation of the scene!"

Fang Lingying raised her hand: " I asked someone last night, that kind of terrain is called volcanic neck, that is, when the submarine volcano erupts, the magma goes up from the bottom to the top, and gradually cools down and condenses to form lava, but due to the temperature difference, thermal expansion and contraction, the huge basalt will burst and break, and according to the principle of tensile stress, this evenly expanded cooling surface will produce vertical cracks, and from the cracking point to 120 degrees in three directions, forming a hexagon, the most typical representative work is the famous Water Cube Gymnasium in the capital, the surface size of the five hexagons is the result of this theory......" said as he stretched out his hand to bring up a few pictures, not the stone mountain, but the hexagonal columnar shape is the same, the mountain, island, canyon terrain is all there, Ye Mingjing sighed: "I thought it was unique there." ”

Fang Lingying shrugged: "This is called columnar joints, in fact, there are many places, there are gaps between each pillar, even if there is no explosion, the hollow cave is formed by the erosion of the sea tide, and the interior gradually collapses and falls off for millions of years...... That's what we see. ”

Lin Dashao, the computer operator, was already holding his breath: "You guys...... You've really found the submarine and this cave?"

Ye Mingjing knocked on the corner of the glowing glass incubator with her fingers, and pulled the gold brick covered there with her gloves, Lin Dong immediately stepped up, and didn't pay attention to the sound of the sturdy installation on the transparent plexiglass, which made Fang Lingying feel so distressed: "My box!"

Lin Dashao rubbed his nose and got up embarrassed: "Ah, such an antique gold brick, it's really ...... Hey, hey, hey, you're rich!"

Without Buck to say, Ye Mingjing put his arm on Lin Dong's shoulder: "We made it rich, don't you think we have always been communist wives?"

Xiang Wan was dissatisfied: "Communism is not explained in this way!"

Fang Lingying smiled: "This piece is basically ten kilograms, but I carried it all the way back, and the value is about three million, more than three hundred million per ton, three thousand tons, and I don't have to pay taxes...... It's better for everyone to divide it, so as not to be too damned. ”

Lin Dong was not afraid: "I'm coming! I'm already handsome and damned, no matter how much gold I have!"

Hahaha's laughter, Buck's phone rang: "Anyway, our own people from Ah Nu to Hong Qi have more or less share, but we will not announce it for the time being, and gradually absorb and participate in the whole project...... Miss Mou's, hey?"

Mu Chenfei had already recovered her delicate voice: "Come over early, I miss you ......"

Buck's phone has a better amplification effect, and everyone heard it in the quiet studio, Ye Mingjing pouted, Fang Lingying chuckled, Xiang Wan lowered his head and fiddled with his notebook, Lin Dong hurriedly asked what the project plan was, to create some sound cover-up.

Or Ye Mingjing helped Buck make an excuse: "You go over first, Tianzheng Group has a factory project in Vietnam, and it is easier for them to do some preliminary paving work, at least it is much better than Sister Wu running alone, and you are reluctant to let her become tired every day, black like that!"

Xiang Wan also raised his head: "Don't forget, this is gold, except for a big businessman like Mr. Mu, it can only be transformed by seeking the assistance of the state, and I have seen his information, as if he is investing in a large amount of precious metal futures trading." ”

The others immediately booed, and the relevant departments really monitored everything.
