Jiangyin, a submarine base, is a base that China has put in great effort. It once developed under the eyes of the revolutionary party in the absence of unified China in the northwest, and after the Northwest Navy became the Chinese Navy, it expanded its scale even more.

Although it should be said that the current situation in China no longer requires Jiangyin, a submarine base located within the Yangtze River. The entire Chinese seaport is protected by the Chinese navy. The only enemy, Japan, has not yet recovered its maritime strength. It should build the naval base outside the sea. In fact, the submarine base is gradually moving outward. At present, Mawei, Zhanjiang and Tianjin ports have become new submarine combat bases, but the construction base is still in Jiangyin.

Because of submarines, Jiangyin has become China's largest submarine science and technology research center. Submarine research centers and torpedo research centers separated from Baotou are all placed here. Not only does it not gradually shrink, but it has developed even more.

Submarines are an important weapon. Since China has owned the navy, Yang Yuanzhao has always attached great importance to it. In terms of cost-effectiveness, this weapon is probably the best among all powerful weapons. There was a naval flag in later generations, and submarines were the ones that could kill the strongest aircraft carriers. In fact, among the aircraft carrier combat groups in later generations, anti-submarines have always been one of the most important tasks, and even on air defense.

With its unique performance, the submarine can completely ignore defense and add all its strength to attack, becoming the best attacker. An offensive submarine, its attack power even makes all surface warships look sideways. As for nuclear submarines, it is an important part of the country's nuclear strike force and has a strong deterrent power.

In weak countries, combat weapons such as battleships and aircraft carriers are not weak countries with not too strong naval strength. What they can support are submarines and torpedo boats. Submarines are the most cost-effective weapons for weak countries. A torpedo boat or submarine is not expensive. They can threaten large ships and weak countries cannot afford the huge consumption of large fleets. Supporting a small and refined submarine force has become the best choice. If a country has a powerful submarine, even if there is no large number of surface ships to maintain shipping, it is enough to protect the maritime border.

In history, before World War I, the importance of submarines has not reached a very high level. Even Germany, which promoted submarine warfare, did not pay much attention to submarines before the war. That is, after the beginning of World War I, German surface ships were forced to use submarines. At the beginning, submarines also attacked the Entente Port. The consumption was too high and there was no gain, so they were forced to use infinite submarine warfare. Unexpectedly, they have promoted infinite submarine warfare from then on. To a considerable extent, Britain, a powerful old naval power, suffered a lot.

In this time and space. Because of Yang Yuanzhao's time travel, Germany attached great importance to submarines long before the beginning of World War I. Due to the intervention of China, submarines appeared earlier, and in the early stages of World War I, it advanced to the later submarine types, and was used correctly, without directly attacking ports or fleets, but using the battle of the war. It achieved amazing results. Under the premise that the United States participated in the war, Germany was able to suppress Britain, France and the United States because of the outstanding performance of the submarines.

Even though Germany's ocean fleet became an existence beyond Britain, the unlimited submarine warfare is still Germany's most important weapon, which made Germany shine. However, after the large-scale advancement of American sonar technology, it was swept into the backward side and suffered a huge blow, almost affecting the entire battle situation.

The Americans suddenly attacked China and plundered funds from China's industries. China didn't care about this, but the direct and indirect death of 400,000 Chinese people caused by the Chinese, which directly and indirectly caused the death of 400,000 Chinese people was counted on the Americans. In addition to sending four Fantasy-class warships to directly attack the United States, another plan was to use submarines, or even ships, before the Fantasy-class.

The key to using fantasy is to directly show the strength of China, establish the reputation of the navy, and attack the confidence of the Americans from the front. However, using submarines to attack merchant ships cannot be widely publicized. At least it is not possible at present. The one responsible is the Chinese ocean submarine fleet, which is equipped with China's latest attack ocean submarines.

The development of submarines in China, or the northwest, was divided into several stages. The first stage was when the northwest had not yet unified the country, and it was still developing in the northwest, and there was not even a single harbor. At that time, the northwest was just conducting submarine research secretly, using the stage of introducing German submarines. At that time, the relationship between the northwest and Germany allowed the northwest to easily obtain German submarines. At the beginning, even Germany had submarines below 500 tons, and the introduction of China was below 500 tons. Such submarines had already begun to have ocean-going performance, but the range was not too long.

At the beginning, German submarines became more of training boats, helping China have the first submarine members. They even played an unimaginable role in combating Japan and Taiwan, and made meritorious contributions to China's establishment. However, as time goes by, most of these meritorious submarines have withdrawn from active service.

The introduction from Germany solved the problem of existence or not. Next, it was to improve the submarine's foundation and restrict the submarine. It was not a big problem, mainly in design concepts, power, or even scale. Germany did not pay much attention to submarines, but only regarded submarines as a tactical weapon, but China was different. Yang Yuanzhao, who came from later generations, knew very well that the strategic role of submarines in China, and later generations, China and Russia were almost completely destroyed by the United States on surface ships, but submarines have always been a powerful weapon for China to resist the US Navy.

The purpose of introducing German submarines was to understand the technology thoroughly and make the submarine's ability stronger. On the premise of being familiar with the role of submarines, Yang Yuanzhao proposed to develop submarines, first of all, increasing the attack capability of submarines. In this case, the torpedo must be strengthened. A submarine will have 12-18 fish, which is the loading capacity of most of the German ocean submarines, but this is not what China needs. It must be increased. At least 48 torpedoes must be more powerful.

The attacks of submarines and self-defense artillery fire are negligible. Under the guidance of Yang Yuanzhao, self-defense artillery fire can even be removed. After all, if a submarine needs to use self-defense artillery fire, the submarine needs to float to the surface. Compared with capturing the harvest of merchant ships, the submarine itself is more important. In principle, submarines are not allowed to float. Reducing the artillery on the submarine can increase the submarine's underwater capabilities and increase the speed. This is a killing two birds with one stone.

In this case, the strength of the torpedo represents the entire combat capability of the submarine, and the strength of the torpedo also represents the strength of the submarine's attack power. To a certain extent, a good torpedo is an attack multiplier. As long as it can be made, it can threaten the current dreadnought or even the super dreadnought torpedo, the submarine will truly have a strong deterrent power.

China's torpedoes began to appear since the Beiyang period. After the appearance of torpedoes, even the main battleships were equipped with torpedo launchers. This was a huge weapon of warships at that time. Compared with the threat of shells to ships, the torpedoes came even larger. With the development of warships, especially the power of naval guns, the engagement distance between the two sides increased from 500 meters, 1,000 meters, and 2,000 meters to more than 6,000 meters. Britain even stipulated that the engagement distance between the two sides was more than 10,000 meters on the new battleships. Such a distance would not play much role with the current mileage of torpedoes.

Gradually, the torpedoes were cancelled on the main battleship, but torpedoes were installed on some cruisers and even destroyers. In the duel between the main battleships, a wave of torpedoes was fired on the boat, not for damage, but for destroying the opponent's battle line and laying a good foundation for their own artillery battle.

Although the torpedoes have withdrawn from history and stage during the battleship between the main battleships, it does not mean that the torpedoes are not threatened. Why can small boats threaten the battle line? Faced with the attack of a large number of torpedoes, even the battleship must dodge, otherwise it will be a joke if it is hit by a torpedo.

The warships are constantly innovating, but the torpedo has not changed much, the caliber has not been much improved, and the speed has been improved when it has been replaced with *******, but it cannot catch up with the current warship speed. This is also the fundamental reason why the torpedo's effect is getting smaller and smaller as the dreadnoughts become bigger and bigger. Even some armored cruisers have removed the torpedo launch tube to increase the strength of the hull and the underwater mobility.

Not paying attention may be the fundamental reason for the slow development of torpedoes. Even in the days when Germany's Infinite Submarine Warfare shines, the Allies may be concerned about submarines and invest huge resources on submarines. However, for torpedoes, they are destined to be ignored. They cannot become the most important weapon. In the eyes of the Allies, as long as they can deal with merchant ships, it is enough.

In the eyes of Yang Yuanzhao, a time traveler, this is very undesirable. Even in later generations, torpedoes are one of the most important weapons on the water and are the first choice for attack ships. Not to mention that China has submarines that can avoid European and American sonars, which can make torpedoes more secretly fired. It has advanced to China in the era of aircraft. Torpedoes have become the best weapon to deal with warships. When torpedoes can be projected through aircraft, they naturally have huge advantages. The torpedo must be independent and continue to develop. (To be continued.)
