Chapter 597: The Truth
Just because Buck they have repeatedly delayed in the Philippines for so many days, the steel beam skeleton building complex has been built, and now each part is carrying out a series of exterior wall projects such as installing the steel beam skeleton on the wall, glass curtain wall, floor, ceiling, etc., after the end of this stage, it is the internal decoration and the external environment garden and other projects are carried out simultaneously, and the time is very urgent, because the follow-up South China Sea project that needs to spend a lot of money is about to be launched, which is just as a domestic fulcrum.
After Ye Mingjing contacted his auction team and returned, he first smiled at the door, and then knocked on the door and came in, after the Wu family and his wife left, their room temporarily became Ye Mingjing's office and residence, Fang Lingying's studio was dark, the curtains were closed, only the position where the avatar sculpture table should have been placed in the center was now a constant temperature transparent box, and after the cowhide notebook was carefully brought back, it was put into this box that was almost a cube, Xiang Wan Under the guidance of Fang Lingying, her hands reached into the two round hole rubber gloves on the side of the box, so that she could touch the notebook that was completely isolated insideγ
Fang Lingying's testing equipment is already in place, which is stored by Lin Dong, and now he is very curious with his hands propped up on a platform behind him, side by side with Buck: "This is what you gained when you went to Southeast Asia to be in distress?"
Buck nodded: "A long-term and constant income, in the future, this side is a disguise, and that side is the fundamental." β
Lin Dong was even more surprised, Buck pointed to the incubator, and on the opposite side were Fang Lingying and Ye Mingjing, and their movements were similar to them.
Fang Lingying also helped turn on a ring LED observation light, Xiang Wan pulled down from the box and looked at the notebook, and with some caution, she turned over the cowhide surface with tweezers, and gently read out the Japanese on the title page: "Long live the cherry blossoms, the 403rd submarine of the Imperial Japanese Navy...... Nishino Kuwatanaka Sakura. Speaking of this, she couldn't help but comment: "This is the face of an evil militarist who has escaped alive, why don't you break your stomach!"
Barker's attitude is different from that of his wife: "Your loyalty and love for the country are also evil in the eyes of the Japanese, each in his own right, and we are only looking at the content on a case-by-case basis and not a voice-over." β
The translator smiled and stuck out his tongue: "Okay, okay...... Showa 17th year...... Oh, I'll convert this directly, it was August 1942, I was fortunate enough to participate in the first Battle of the Solomons, the Imperial Japanese Navy sank four cruisers of the United States and Australia in one fell swoop on Savo Island, won a heavy victory, and washed away the decline of the Battle of Midway Island in June in one fell swoop, we completely gained the night sea control of the Solomon Islands, in the case of losing air cover, the day is the enemy's, and the night is ours, the American air force at Henderson Airport is our biggest threat, and then the motorized torpedo boats that are like wolf dogs shuttling on the sea have become the most feared night killers of the Imperial transport ships, and the war has spread to the Solomon IslandsThe threat is very close to the Philippines and Southeast Asia, and if there are no transportation lines, the Japanese Empire will completely lose the import of overseas resources, and the domestic economy will be completely paralyzed, so the Navy Headquarters has a new plan. β
"Last summer, I was notified by the Navy Headquarters to return to Honshu Island and handed over to me this submersible aircraft carrier that was ahead of its time...... The fourth 400-type 403 giant warship will be responsible for guarding the transportation and supply lines along the east coast of China in Southeast Asia!"
Fang Lingying pointed at Lin Dong, who hurriedly searched for the information of the Type 403 submarine with a notebook, and the projection radiated a series of pictures and text to the blank wall, Ye Mingjing applauded: "Yes!
The notebook that Lin Dong was holding in one hand almost fell to the ground in fright, and Buck pointed to the projection screen: "Adong, you are responsible for looking for the structural diagram of this submarine, of course, the premise is that it cannot be discovered by the outside world, and we really can't find it, we can only search one by one, but the balance of the hull is not easy to grasp." β
Xiang Wan also looked up wistfully for a while at various photos and counts, and also had a competitive spirit for this kind of giant submarine: "Our country also has a ...... bigger than this."
Even Fang Lingying dared to choke her: "What year are you, what year are you?
The translator pursed his lips and looked at the transparent box pointed to by her husband, and then continued to rummage: "In the middle is the training personnel, familiar with submarines, and then they left the Kawasaki Naval Shipyard with three Qinglan water fighter-bombers, and quietly dived into Southeast Asia, in this process they tested the continuous submersible at 50~." At a depth of 100 meters, they reached the Philippines in one go, so almost no one knew that they were hiding in the middle of the Philippine Islands, during which they carried out many night attack missions, and there were not so many electronic radar phased arrays and other equipment in those days, so they obtained many successful attacks, and no one could guess that in the case of no ships and no airfield in a surrounding area, there could be a few fighter-bombers attacking and then mysteriously disappearing...... He was very proud of this note......"
Buck pointed: "See if he says anything about the main area of activity......"
Xiang Wan carefully flipped through it: "Basically, it is the part of the sea off the east side of the Philippines, close to the Solomon Islands, and it rarely enters the inland sea for operations, and at that time, the US military has not yet obtained the right to control the Philippine waters." Lin Dong immediately thoughtfully put a map of the Philippine waters on the projection.
Buck gestured to the area: "That place is in the inland sea, so it means that they are not familiar with the waters in that area, continue to ......"
Xiang Wan said: "Here and here...... This is where Operation Golden Lily is mentioned, His Royal Highness Prince Hengde is presiding over Operation Golden Lily in the Philippines these days, and I had the honor to attend a dinner hosted by His Royal Highness, and after the banquet, His Royal Highness the Prince negotiated with me privately and ordered my 403 to join his transport team, because all surface transport ships are now inevitably attacked by Allied aircraft, and those damn torpedo boats!"
"The Navy Headquarters now has a self-deprecating saying, we can only use the only night sea control power, and use the night to carry out night sea transportation, so this is called rat transportation, how could the glorious Imperial Navy be reduced to such a state?!"
"His Royal Highness the Prince has every opportunity, and he wants to hide the storage of 403, and the radio transmission has long been used with caution since the martyrdom of Yamamoto Fifty-six, and all our correspondence is through the valet of His Royal Highness the Prince GuΓ²...... That's Mr. Morris, isn't it?"
Lin Dong has already found out the information: "Yamamoto Fifty-six, as the planner of the Pearl Harbor operation, was deciphered in 1943 because of the radio code, haha, the coder is still our technical department in Yuqing...... The Japanese military's radio communications became very dangerous and unreliable, and there was no such thing as encrypted communication in those days, and the so-called passwords were just human-added codes. β
Buck nodded: "Then this shows why Morris, as a Filipino, has a relationship with this submarine, and it seems that he is getting closer to the truth." β
Ye Mingjing couldn't help it, and learned the tone of Conan's signature gesture in a tone of voice: "There is only one truth!"
caused a burst of laughter, only Xiang Wan, who had never seen the cartoon, was at a loss, and she didn't know what these guys were laughing at.
