6 April 2782 (1941), southeast of Australia, Tasman Sea.

The Mako Shark submarine.

With the practical application of blue-green laser communication, neutrino communication technology and even quantum communication technology, they can still receive various signals as if they are on the sea surface, and the data link of the whole army is naturally needless to say, in addition to TV signals and radio signals, and even the special encryption network of the navy is also used.

Theoretically, it is also possible to use mobile phones to make calls to the outside in a submarine, but of course, because of the secrecy involved, it is generally impossible for officers and men to be allowed to play like this. But things like watching TV, listening to the radio, and even watching movies and chatting on the Internet are all fine.

On the current Chinese submarines, each crew member is equipped with a portable Rainbow-3 learning machine, which is actually a simplified version of a laptop, which is almost equivalent to the low-configuration netbook of later generations. This is also for the mental health of officers and men, because if they live in a closed environment for a long time, it is easy to cause some strange mental illnesses and unnecessary troubles.

Of course, the officers and men can only access the Internet through the encrypted quantum network dedicated to the navy, and the secrecy of quantum communication is a complete leap forward, and it is impossible to crack it with current foreign technology. Well, they can't even crack blue-green lasers and neutrinos. In their opinion, quantum communication is basically an alien technology.

The Great White Shark-class submarines are extremely automated, and many of the things that would have required manual operation and monitoring can now be controlled by computers. And thanks to the use of all-battery propulsion, much fewer personnel are needed than today's mainstream submarines. For example, the crew that operates and maintains lead-acid batteries, diesel engines and generator systems can be reduced. Therefore, although the Jaws class is a large submarine with a displacement of 4,600 tons, its crew is only 48 people, including 10 officers and 18 non-commissioned officers.

Under the condition of the same size of cabin space, the smaller the number of people, the larger the living area per capita, and the better the habitability. Similarly, with the same number of supplies, the smaller the number of people, the longer the self-sustaining force. This is a very simple math problem that can be calculated by elementary school students. The better the habitability, the better the morale and state of the officers and men; the longer the self-sustaining power, the more combat opportunities will be found, and the higher the combat efficiency.

The submarine is equipped with a fitness room, a recreation room, and a small library, which is very user-friendly.

At present, the officers and men who are not on duty on the submarine are all watching the news by the television, because everyone on the submarine has a notebook, so there are only two televisions, one in the dining room and the other in the conference room, but they are all 120×80 cm large-screen LCD TVs. Well, now the performance of LCD monitors made in China has finally reached the level of the early 21st century, and the price has been reduced to an acceptable level. However, a large screen like this is still relatively expensive, that is, it is only available on submarines with the best treatment of officers and soldiers, as well as the most important large ships. Other small and medium-sized ships still use cheap cathode tube ray displays.

“...... Ladies and gentlemen, I am Yuan Xuefei, a CCTV reporter, and now I am reporting for you in Washington, D.C., ......

On the screen is CCTV's big-name beautiful reporter Yuan Xuefei, behind her is the US Capitol building, at this time a large number of Americans holding banners and signs, are demonstrating in front of the White House.

"Yo, what's wrong with these Americans......?

"Hehe, the plane was shot down, what about dozens of people, can you not be in a hurry?"

The officers and men are all ridiculing with the attitude of watching the show, and they are really not afraid of big things when they watch the excitement. Although they also have a laptop per person, it is more refreshing to watch the show on a large screen with stereo sound, and everyone can brag and fart together, so the restaurant has become a cinema and screening room.

"I was outside the U.S. Capitol, and I'm sure you saw it, there were at least five thousand people gathered here, and they were marching against the German Empire. Yuan Xuefei said suddenly, and said with a surprised face: "Ah, I saw someone burning the German flag, as well as the portraits of Wilhelm III and Hitler, photographer, please turn the lens ......"

As soon as the camera turned, everyone saw a group of Americans burning German flags, and some people burned portraits of Wilhelm III and Hitler, which were deliberately ugly, and Weisan and mustache were painted as demonic images with horns on their heads and tails on their buttocks.

"Kill the Germans!"

"Hang Hitler! Hang Wilhelm III!"

"Get the Germans out of America!"

The Americans on the screen are angrily shouting all kinds of slogans. All of them were flushed and emotional. In the face of these angry crowds, the American policemen who maintained order had no intention of stopping them at all, but looked leisurely.

"Cut, it's hard to say whether the plane was hit by the Germans or not. One of the sailors pouted and said disapprovingly.

"That is, at that time, it was a battlefield in the dark. I wonder if it was the British......"

"According to me, this is a deliberate attempt by the Yankees. It doesn't matter if the Germans hit it or not, anyway, they insist on it, and that's not it......"

The officers and men were all in a lively mood and discussing with great interest.

Well, the reason why the Americans made such a big fuss this time was that on the night of April 1, they had a DC-4 large airliner shot down over Ireland.

The DC-4 on this plane is different from that of the original space-time, this is a six-engine large passenger plane specially developed by the United States in order to separate spearheads with China and Germany. It was also the first U.S. airliner to fly across the Atlantic without landing, with a maximum range of more than 12,000 kilometers, and it could carry 90 passengers from New York to London nonstop. This is also the main aircraft type of the current transoceanic transportation in the United States.

And the route of this passenger plane was supposed to go to Iceland, but somehow it deviated to Ireland. Now that the Germans were having a bad fight with the British in Ireland, any airliner should have known to avoid it if they had a normal IQ, and the two countries had greeted each other internationally beforehand.

But as if unaware, the airliner continued to fly over Ireland, which coincided with the daily air battle between Germany and Britain. As a result, the DC-4 jumbo airliner was shot down and then crashed off the coast of Ireland, killing all 90 passengers and eight crew members on board.

After the news broke, the Americans stopped doing it. As for who shot it down, both Britain and Germany said that the other party did it, but later the Icelandic side took out a cassette of a conversation between the plane and the airport commander. There was the pilot's speech at that time, and according to him, it was the German plane that attacked him.

Because the plane crash happened on April Fool's Day, it was also called "Scarlet April Fool's Day" by the media of various countries. Driven by the US government, business groups, and the media, the public sentiment in the United States is about to burst out.

Large-scale anti-German demonstrations were taking place all over the United States, and German embassies and consulates in the United States, as well as companies and enterprises, were onlookers, and the German-Americans were even more unlucky, angry that the American cowboys could not find genuine Germans to put out their fire, so they took out their anger at these unsuspecting Germans.

Well, as long as you think about what happened to those Japanese Americans during World War II, you can imagine what the situation of German Americans was at this time. After he came to power, the social atmosphere in the United States was violently turned to the right and fascist, many German military officers and government officials were driven out for various reasons, and the rest were blocked from the top by the glass ceiling.

Moreover, Germany did not lose World War I, and many Germans felt that they were treated unfairly during World War I, and after World War I, they left the United States in large numbers, either to West Africa or South America. Therefore, at this time, the number of Germans in the United States is much smaller than that of the original time and space, and the social influence is even lower, so the situation is naturally worse than that of the original time and space.

“...... Ladies and gentlemen, the US Congress has just announced that important news will be announced soon! The congressional vote has already come out! Now that the whole United States is advocating a declaration of war against Germany, and as far as I know, the US Congress is holding an emergency session, so what will be the result now? Let us pay attention to ...... together." Yuan Xuefei said excitedly. They are now in the small square outside the White House.

The screen showed that a lectern had been placed on the podium in the square, and it was filled with microphones. Soon, U.S. President John Nance Garner walked out surrounded by a large crowd of lawmakers and guards.

Garner stepped up to the podium with a serious expression, looked at the crowd around him, and said, "Citizens, I have an important decision to announce now. The originally noisy crowd suddenly fell silent.

Ghana took out a document and said: "The Senate and the House of Representatives have just unanimously approved the proposal to declare war on Germany, and I hereby declare that from now on, the United States of America and the German Empire will enter a state of war!"

"Oh...... Oh...... Oh......"

"Long live! Long live war! Long live America!"

The American crowd at the scene immediately cheered.

"War has been declared! War has been declared! War has been declared! Audience, have you heard? The United States has declared war on Germany!" Yuan Xuefei was so excited that her voice was out of tune.

"Damn, it's really announced! Yankees are really kind!" The officers and soldiers in front of the television jumped up.

"Declare it! Announce it! Announce it! Yankees have declared the Germans!" a sailor ran to the command cabin, shouting excitedly all the way.

The Ghanaian classmate on the screen was doing acting, and I saw him say excitedly: "...... We in the United States of America are truly great, proud, and courageous nations, and we would rather face any calamity of war than sacrifice its national dignity for humble prosperity!

"We will win! We will win! We will win! America will win!"

Americans all over Capitol Square were shouting about the tsunami.
