In addition to the above methods, there is also a more common technology that is still used in later generations - anti-submarine camouflage.

British painters of the First World War, especially the abstract painters, were brought together to work on important anti-submarine warfare work: painting anti-submarine camouflage for ships.

Anti-submarine camouflage is not intended to hide ships, the colorful ships are quite conspicuous, and their main role is to create illusions and miscalculations on the attacking side, so that artillery and torpedoes cannot hit.

This trick was proposed by a zoologist, and in September 1914, the famous zoologist Graham Murphy was founded. Mr. Cole wrote to Churchill, Secretary of the Admiralty, detailing the wonders of the ship's camouflage.

According to Mr. Cole's long-term experience of seeing animals, zebras, giraffes, jaguars and other animals have beautiful patterns and look ridiculous.

But when it comes to movement, these patterns break down the structural lines between the animal and the background, which can be very difficult to identify and capture, and Mr. Cole's vision is valued and adopted.

Thus, the most exciting scene of the battlefield began.

British ships were painted in rough and unrestrained camouflage, comparable to the work of Mr. Picasso, and the ships on the ocean at that time were dressed in such abstract paintings, adding a lot of bright colors to the bitter war years.

Painting camouflage for these ships was a big project, and the camouflage of each ship had to be painted in combination with the actual situation of the ship, which made British painters quite sought-after at that time.

To put it bluntly, it makes you dizzy.

The main colors of anti-submarine camouflage are black, green, blue, and white, and up close, it looks like breaking into a large forest in an insane asylum.

From a distance, though, these lines disrupt the ship's silhouette and make it quite difficult to attack.

Some boats are depicted as if they are about to sink, and some boats are depicted as moving in reverse, with the focus on the waterline at the bow, which needs to be treated with special treatment.

At that time, the speed of the ship was mainly judged by observing the waves stirred up by the bow of the ship, and the scribbled waves could easily give the observer the illusion that the speed could not be judged.

The torpedoes at that time were all unguided direct-sailing torpedoes with a speed of about 30 knots (15 meters per second).

If the distance is 2,000 meters, it will take 133 seconds, and if the speed of the target ship is estimated to be 10 knots (5 meters per second), if the torpedo sails for 133 seconds to reach the target, there will be an error of 665 meters, so it is almost impossible to hit the ship.

The role of anti-submarine camouflage is difficult to count, and it can be determined that during World War II, anti-submarine camouflage was still used in large quantities.

Anti-submarine camouflage is a superficial confusion, and the existence of the Q ship is a double confusion from the surface to the bones.

As a descendant of the drama master Shakespeare, one of the outstanding contributions of the British Royal Navy to anti-submarine warfare is the seamless connection between the performing arts and the art of war, and the invention of the most bizarre anti-submarine artifact ever made-the Q ship.

Soon after the start of the war, German submarines expanded the range of attacks and classified the British Isles as a war zone, so the British invented the Q boat.

The accurate name of the Q ship is a camouflage anti-submarine ship, because the home port of the vast majority of Q ships is Queen's Port in the south of Ireland, so the British gave the name Q ship in order to hide its purpose.

The sources of Q boats are varied, and there is no unity, in fact, it is similar to "fishing law enforcement", and the basic essence is to add artillery, torpedoes, and later deep shells to civilian ships and carefully camouflage them.

The empty compartment of the Q ship was stuffed with wood or coffins, and it was not easy to sink even if it ate torpedoes or shells, and the Q ship appeared harmless to humans and animals in the sea area of German submarine activity, luring the German submarine to surface.

Wait for the German submarine to surface and get close, then make a surprise attack and sink the submarine.

Not being recognized was a prerequisite for the success of the Q ship, so the crew of the Q ship was fully trained in performance, and even if someone was killed by a gun, they had to bite and hold on, until the German submarine approached the side and then did it.

The results were not long in coming, and on July 24, 1915, the newest German submarine U-36, captured a Danish merchant ship off the coast of Scotland.

While Germany was boarding a ship to transfer supplies, a small American-flagged boat (more than 300 tons, smaller than the U-36) came in the distance.

Seeing the fat delivered to the door, the German crew was overjoyed, hurriedly chased after it, and fired a warning shot.

This is a small, ordinary-looking freighter, in the eyes of the German sailors, the crew of the freighter rushed to the deck, packed up the soft, and even put down the lifeboat to "escape".

Seeing this scene, U-36 leaned in with confidence, and the boat raised the signal flag, to the effect that we surrendered and were willing to take in the crew who had fallen into the water.

By the time the U-36 approached a distance of about 50 meters, all of a sudden, the ugly ship lifted a few side panels, revealing the muzzles of the black holes, and the thing suddenly appeared, as if you had suddenly seen the bloody mouth of a shark.

At the same time, the British Royal Navy flag was quickly raised to the mast, and in an instant, the sheep was transformed into vicious dogs, and after several rounds of accurate shelling, the U-36 was sunk on the spot, leaving no one alive.

A wolf in sheep's clothing, that is the object that can be bullied casually? Pounce and gobble it up, that's what a wolf should do!

The German U-36 boats did not know what they met was Royal Navy Captain Mark. The anti-submarine Q ship commanded by Waldrum - "Prince Charles".

After the Prince Charles sank the U-36, it actually pointed its guns at the Danish freighter and sank the freighter, and the British later explained that they thought the Danish freighter was a German submarine supply ship.

In fact, the sinister intentions of the British were to kill people and keep the secrets of their Q ship.

This was the first time the Q was successful in its own operation, and Captain Waldrow was awarded the Victoria Cross for sinking the U-36, and the whole ship shared a generous prize of £1,000.

At this time, the pound was very valuable, and the Royal Navy's newest Lion-class battlecruiser with a displacement of nearly 30,000 tons was less than 2 million pounds.

The Q ship is actually a kind of fraud by taking advantage of the loopholes in the law, and it looks no different from civilian ships on the outside, but it is actually a warship equipped with large-caliber artillery.

Before World War I, in order to maintain a relatively stable order of maritime warfare and embody the achievements of "civilization", the tradition of the sailing era was followed.

The "Paris Convention", the "Hague Convention", the "Ransom Rules" and other international conventions have been adopted in succession, requiring all parties in a naval battle not to kill or injure the crew of an unarmed merchant ship when taking military action against an enemy merchant ship.

Moreover, it is necessary to provide a safe means of evacuation for the crew, in layman's terms, it is okay to grab the ship and grab the goods, but "if you want money, you don't want to die", compared with the previous pirate practice of "when you arrive in the center of the river, do you want to eat noodles or wontons (hack to death or throw into the water)", this rule has made great progress.

At the beginning of World War I, countries were still very particular about it, and basically followed this rule.

In the case of the U-36 boat mentioned earlier, less than a year after the start of the war, the boat had already sunk or captured more than a dozen British civilian ships.

The general practice is as follows: the U-boat hides underwater, and when it finds a civilian boat, it catches up with it at high speed on the surface, fires a cannon and threatens the civilian ship to stop, and then boards the boat to seize the material, drives the seafarers to the dinghy, and then sinks the boat.

When encountering a large and valuable ship, he sent someone to supervise the ship and sailed back to Germany, and the U-36 once caught a large sailing ship, sent someone to get it back to Germany, and converted the armed robbery ship Seahawk. Under the command of Count Luknal, it was renamed "Sea Eagle" and made many "war exploits".

Historically, there have been those who have paid attention to them, and there have been those who have not been particular, and the Royal Navy, which was driven crazy by submarines, was not so particular.

A month after the first record of the "Prince Charles" Q, a trawler-converted "Involon" Q deceived the German submarine UB-4 again.

Smaller than Prince Charles, the Involon was just over 100 tons, armed with only a 3-pounder gun (47 mm), fired nine shots and sank the UB-4 boat, leaving the UB-4 with no survivors.

The success of the Q ship made the British unscrupulous, so there was the "Balalon Incident".

On August 19, 1915, the German submarine U-27 seized a merchant ship carrying 400 ugly mules, which could be used to pull cannons, which were strategic materials and were being shipped to France.

It's a few ugly cowboys watching the mules, and it's on them that things are bad.

While the Germans were struggling with the mules, a small wrecked ship flying the American flag came from afar, and the Germans did not take it seriously, not knowing that the boat was actually the British Q-ship "Balalon".

The U-27 was on the port side of the merchant ship, and the Balalon sailed into the starboard side of the merchant ship, and within a few minutes of the Germans' insight, the small wrecked ship raised the flag of the Royal Navy, and when the German submarine emerged from the bow of the mule boat, the U-27 was quickly sunk by accurate artillery fire at close range.

At that time, more than 10 crew members, including the captain, had fallen overboard on the command shell of the U-27 boat and on the gun emplacements of the two guns, and the German captain swam to the "Balalon" in the hope of being rescued.

But he was greeted by the bullets of the British, and seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining German sailors turned around and swam to the mule boat at the speed of the Olympic champion, chased by the British bullets, and hid.

The British did not spare Hans, and after boarding the mule boat, they pulled the Germans out of the engine room and the shaft tunnel, and shot them on the spot.

The bloody scene in front of him made the ugly cowboys who drove the mules angry, this is a crime.

After returning to the ugly country, he stabbed the matter to the newspaper, so the secret of the British using the Q boat was exposed, which was the famous "Balaron Incident".

The impact of this incident was very bad, and it laid the groundwork for the later adoption of "unlimited submarine warfare" by Germany.

During World War I, the British converted a total of 336 Q ships, and German submarines engaged 150 times and sank 14 ships, accounting for 8% of the total number of submarines sunk at that time.

However, perhaps because of the poor acting, the Q ship was also lost 61 ships.

The Germans called the Q ship a "submarine trap", while the British preferred to call it a "wolf in sheep's clothing".

Although the purpose of camouflaged warships in war varies, it is undeniable that these disguised warships can make the enemy relax their guard, and then succeed in one blow, and the combat efficiency is quite high.

Seeing the success of the British Q-ship tactics, the ugly people also modified a number of Q boats, but unfortunately, compared with Shakespeare's exquisite theatrical art, the acting talent that the ugly people learned from Hollywood is a scum.

During World War I, the ugly country Q ship, except for the sinking of two American submarines, achieved a record of less than a fraction of the British, and it seems that the performance needs to be accumulated. There is a sequel to the story of the Q ship, which was also widely used by the Allies during World War II and achieved some success.

Later, when Somali piracy was rampant, some experts remembered this "home remedy" and suggested using "bait boats" again to let barefoot pirates touch the nails.

During World War I, the Imperial German Navy built a total of 360 U-boats, and during the war lost half of them, 178 boats.

Most of these losses were due to mines - 58 ships; depth charges - 30 ships; submarine torpedoes - 20 units; naval guns - 20 ships; bow ramming - 19; Unknown - 19; accidents - 7 ships; Minesweepers - 3 ships.

Just looking at the above table, some friends may say that the submarines sunk by mines account for one-third of the total, so it is better to directly use mines to fight.

In fact, quantity does not represent all, and we have to look at the input and output.

In order to deal with German submarines, during World War I, Britain and other Allied countries established three large-scale anti-submarine mine blockade lines, which can be called the Great Wall of anti-diving.

The first blockade line was the famous North Sea Mine Curtain, which began to be laid in May 1918, from the Orkney Islands in northern Britain to Norway, 230 nautical miles long and 15 to 20 nautical miles wide, consisting of 24 mine lines of different depths, 10 mines were planned to be laid, and 70,117 were actually laid.

At the same time, there were 76 small submarine patrol guards, and such a powerful launch actually sank only 1 U-boat.

Nearly 10,000 mines were laid in the Strait of Dover, which was relatively effective, and due to the small water area and high relative density, the effect was good, and 12 U-boats were destroyed.

During World War I, the Allied navies led by Britain controlled the entire sea in accordance with Mahan's theory of sea power.

The German Navy's high seas fleet, which had been invested in the huge pre-war period, was blockaded in the 290,000 square nautical miles of the North Sea until the end of the war, when it was captured en masse and sunk en masse in Scapa Bay, England.

In contrast, the relatively weak German submarine force successively sank 6,000 Allied merchant ships with a registered tonnage of 12 million tons, sank 150 warships, and lost 178 of its own.

It can be said that the German Navy was a failure, but the German submarine forces were not completely defeated.

Regarding the U-shaped submarine, Li Yaoyang finally approached the navy and borrowed an abandoned U-shaped submarine that they had captured to shoot on it, and gave 100,000 dollars in sponsorship for this.

Earn 100,000 yuan with a rag, or people who can still hold knives and guns can make more money.

The film started filming smoothly, and the shooting time is expected to be 6 months, in addition to the lack of advanced shooting technology, the shooting of a large number of war scenes is also time-consuming.

But in any case, after the first movie was launched, the next road was easy to go.

At least he doesn't have to worry about the money he gets from selling alcohol, and he can't be cleaner anymore when he rolls around in the film industry.

Thanks to Edison, not only did he create a new art, but he also invented a whole new method of money laundering.
