One hundred and twenty nautical miles southeast of the Japanese archipelago, in the east of the Izu Islands, two huge figures quietly separated in the dark night, surrounded by more than a dozen other ships, sailing in different directions.

In front of the two battleships, at least four or five submarines could be seen breaking through the water surface and opening the way. Further away, no less than ten destroyers were scattered to form a tight search array, ensuring that within 20 kilometers where they passed, they would not be able to

There is a potential weixie existence!

Among them, in the fleet that was heading south, in addition to the huge warships, there was another slightly smaller giant accompanied by, about five kilometers apart from each other, and the radio was kept silent only by using lights to communicate quickly.

The largest warship, in the commander's room above the bridge, which is dozens of meters high, there are more than a dozen officers standing in a row. At the forefront is a short man carrying a star, which is a battle in the East China Sea not long ago.

Missing Commander Tadichi Nagamo!

At this time, he was much thinner than a few months ago. He looked a little gray under the dim light, but his eyes were sharper and brighter. From the side, he looked like a small light bulb was shining!

His lips, stubborn chin, and his upright posture of looking coldly at the scene outside, giving the people present an invisible pressure!

Next to him, Colonel Miyari Hideto, the chairman of the clothing company who was responsible for all the work of the warships for a period of time to be officially put into service, looked at the back of Nagamo Tadaichi's head with longing for a while.

, After the entire formation completed its turn and began to move forward at a constant speed of eighteen knots, the sound started to break the silence.

"His Excellency Commander! This trial voyage requires such a cautious strategy. Is it to prevent the Chinese people from discovering it?"

It is clearly near the sea of ​​Japan or at night, there are submarines cruising for 50 nautical miles outside, destroyers open the way twenty nautical miles away. There are cruisers ten nautical miles away, sonar radars are fully opened, and even water night reconnaissance aircraft

I really can't imagine that with such strict precautions, radio silence and light control are required... I'm too careful!

Nakamoto Tadashi had no expression on his face. He glanced at him with only the corner of his eyes and said in a deep voice: "No matter how much caution is necessary for the mysterious enemy! The Imperial Navy has no chance to make mistakes at present! These two Yamato-level

'The battleship is our decisive victory. Before formally serving, there is no way to lose it!"

"Hi! I understand!"

Miyari Hideo lowered his head and learned the lesson, but he didn't agree with it, although he was the commander who could escape from such a naval battle and escape from the other side's conspiracy with nearly half of the main ship to return to the local area.

I feel very impressed that he was able to run back from the destroyed warship, but he hardly participated in any tragic battles. He instinctively thought that his warship was the strongest in the world, so it was necessary to hide it so much?

He didn't think there was anything wrong with this idea. Although the entire Imperial Navy had fully realized the weixie of the fighter jets against the warships, after careful research by the Shipbuilding Headquarters, it was believed that the reason why it was repeatedly bombarded and sunk by the fighter jets was not that it was not that it was

The aircraft is so powerful that it is uncontrollable. On the one hand, the escort fighter jets are not strong enough. This is the conclusion reached by the aircraft carriers led by Commander Isori Yamamoto; on the other hand, the warship itself has too poor air defense firepower.

To!

This is a ready-made model. Not to mention others, just say the Chinese Navy, the biggest enemy on the other side of the sea. In the last few battles, the Japanese Flying Team launched a bombing with a super dense crew. However, they were all properly deployed by them and the fire control was strictly controlled.

The air defense force was stopped, especially the precise air defense artillery and dense rain of bullets, which caused one of the best Japanese fighter jets in the world to suffer heavy losses and in vain!

Then, there is no reason why the Japanese Empire cannot do it!

In the past, even until the service of four "Kiyi-class" battleships, all the Japanese warships had very average air defense firepower, especially the last two naval battles, which made the navy finally realize its shortcomings. Therefore,

In the recent emergency shipbuilding and modification, the entire air defense firepower has been greatly improved!

As for the test flight super battleship "Yamato" they were riding at the moment, according to the final design in 1936, the anti-aircraft gun only had 6 dual-mounted 127mm high-angle guns and 8 25mm triple machine guns. Their settings were completely ten years behind.

After the construction, the hull was basically completed in 1938. After that fierce naval battle, it was immediately corrected and improved!

In the current Yamato, the secondary gun has been weakened to retain 2 3-mounted 155mm guns. In addition to retaining 6 double high-angle guns, 6 newly developed 76mm anti-aircraft guns have been added, and 12 double-mounted 37mm rapid-fire guns have been added.

The cannon has also increased the 25mm triple main gun to 20 seats!

In this way, almost all the military design points on the entire warship were covered with dense cannon tubes in the woods. If you look down from the air, it would be a weapon warehouse floating on the sea!

After scientific calculations, the Shipbuilding Headquarters first concluded that the ship's air defense firepower is at least three times higher than the original design! If you want to get close, you must break through the four-layer firepower defense network at a distance of 2000, the premise is

Only after all the flight team fighters were defeated, can we be qualified to face this unprecedented huge warship!

Not only the Yamato, but also the traumatized Omi, and the two ships Suruga have also undergone major air defense firepower updates during the maintenance process. For this reason, they did not hesitate to remove the secondary gun and replace it with smaller calibers.

It is to ensure full air defense capabilities.

As for other cruisers and destroyers, they are also on the agenda for transformation. I believe that as long as the military factory can produce enough new anti-aircraft guns, all warships will be completely renewed.

However, the total number of ships in the entire Imperial Navy has shrunk by at least half compared to ten years ago! Especially the battleships, the new and old ones are only five, and there are still two big guys with a total of 70,000 tons.

As for launching, although the base camp has confirmed the updated four super battleships, ten aircraft carriers and eight heavy patrols, as well as a series of ship-appointed construction plans, it will take five years to complete it even if you don’t lack money.

That's it!

Five years, where can I get the five years of peace and stability without any problems?

Miyasaki Hideto was respectful on the surface, but his dissatisfaction inside was seen through by Tadashi Nagashi. However, he had just experienced a crushing defeat and was obviously in the case of Commander Iroku Yamamoto being a scapegoat and ensuring that he would continue his naval future.

It was much more cautious and steady, so it did not scold Yiyang without any mercy. Instead, it slowed down its speech and said: "Colonel in the palace should not underestimate the abilities of the Chinese people! They were very meticulous in the intelligence work of the empire, and they were early

I knew the existence of the Yamato-class warship, but I didn’t hit it in several bombings!”

"Since we know the power of this kind of warship, according to the general rules, they will never let it go easily! Therefore, we must be cautious, after all, the warships have not yet reached a complete combat state!"

The sound of the drums does not require heavy hammers. The Colonel of the Palace is also very smart, especially as the person in charge of the trial voyage. He did not want to die before he could succeed. The Pacific waters are now very uneasy, and China's submarines and ships of destruction are elusive.

Maybe whoever found the target and summoned a long-range bomber to find fault is also quite troublesome.

He immediately received the teachings humbly. When he thought that this might be the conclusion drawn by the commander with blood, he couldn't help but feel respectful and let go of it a little disapproval.

Under the night, the stars shine, and the broad vision is limited. The huge 263-meter-long body of the Yamato is as majestic as a mountain. The posture of splitting the waves is like a dark cloud advancing, with a momentum.

Although it has not yet been officially put into service, under the three shifts of Japanese workers, all indicators have been basically completed. The remaining work is only the integration training of more than 3,000 members. Looking for shortcomings, this cycle, conventionally speaking

It will take at least half a year, but now, there are not so many of them.

Thinking of the birth of these two warships, Miyasaki Hide is sincerely proud. Who else in the world can complete the construction of a 70,000-ton giant ship at such a fast speed? From the start of construction in July 1937 to 1939

The water was launched in October 2019, and the entire construction work was completed in just two years and three months. It has only been less than three months since then, and the trial voyage has begun. This speed is simply invincible.

In order to complete this super warship with a total of four ships, Japan has made every effort to start construction, adding a 5000mm thick plate rolling mill production line and expensive equipment such as 10,000 tons of hydraulic presses. If it is not for the support of the great powers, there will be Chinese wēixié,

I'm afraid it's going to take a year to delay it?

Now, the Colonel of the Palace believes that even if he encounters an enemy immediately, he can command warships to fight. The quality of the Imperial Navy soldiers is impeccable and top priority!

But Tadichi Nakayama did not have such ambitions. After experiencing the East China Sea War, he truly realized the gap in technology, especially night battles, ultra-long-distance bombardment, and various incredible technological equipment changed their familiar combat modes to an unrecognizable face.

! He was tortured by the nose for the middle of the night, and was almost wiped out in the end. Such an unforgettable failure is enough for him to remember for the rest of his life!

More importantly, he completely abandoned his arrogant attitude and truly attached importance to the strength of the Chinese Navy. From 1934 to the present, the opponent has almost never lost, and has almost never lost the main ships. Instead, he has fought more and more.

The shipbuilding speed is incredible. In contrast, the Imperial Navy is retreating step by step. In this case, a considerable part is caused by advanced fighter jets, and in some part, the renewal speed of weapons and equipment, the Empire is obviously at the

later!

No matter how huge or strong the warship is, the shield cannot stop the increasingly sharp spear! Only when the attack is powerful can it play a defensive role. In this regard, the 460mm main gun of the "Yamato" is undoubtedly beyond

The terrifying weapon of destruction in the world, but its range is only 42 kilometers long, while its true accurate range is still about 20 kilometers. This is at least quite a bit in the battles that fighters are increasingly disgusting.

Only after the level is achieved can you have the opportunity to play.

So there is a prerequisite: Can this ship catch up with the enemy's fleet that generally exceeds 30 knots with a speed of less than 28 knots? Judging from the last naval battle, it is almost impossible! The maximum speed of the "Gi-class" theory with an extraordinary speed

At the 30th quarter, the other party was flew kites all night and couldn't touch the edge. The initiative to start a war was always in the other party's hands.

And outside the range of more than 30 kilometers, the shooting hit is similar to the blind man's great luck, but the opponent can hit it, and it must be the radar. However, the radar of this ship... Nagashiro sighed as soon as he thought about it.

Although there are some technologies revealed by the Germans, the so-called "No. 17 to the air radio wave detector" and "No. 18 to the sea radio wave detector" that were developed in a hurry are huge in size and their functions are really terrible! It's good to be air-oriented!

, it can detect aircraft groups 100 kilometers away and stand-alone aircraft 50 kilometers away. It is acceptable to have a large angle deviation.

But the sea is terrible. The distance of only 35 kilometers is not even as good as that of optical instruments, and the accuracy is even less than 1,000 meters. If you aim, you still don’t aim? The possibility of shooting directly in the air will be 99%.

!

The worst thing is that they do not have an electronic fire control system, which makes the warships play a role in addition to adding a bunch of radar soldiers. Of course, it is much better than not, at least at night, it won't be.

He was forced to within 20 kilometers and suddenly opened fire and attacked him. The blind man couldn't see anything.

This is all forced out by the Chinese!

Tadichi Nakayama sometimes sighed, is it true that powerful enemies are the source of motivation for progress? However, the Imperial Navy, which has the pinnacle of the world's ambitions, was stimulated and hit by the Chinese who were completely despised. This is really a bit fascinating.

It's helpless and ridiculous!

However, this time, as long as the trial sailing training of the two super warships was perfectly successful. As long as the ghosts and animals in the UK and the US did not cheat people, I believe that if we fight again, the initiative and final victory must belong to the Imperial Navy, and it must be

It belongs to him, No. 1 Lieutenant General Natsumoto!

"I will live up to the instructions listed as my senior, and will definitely succeed!" He clenched his fists and looked at the sponge's eyes. He was bright and energetic!

At this moment, in the southern waters less than a hundred nautical miles away from them, a warship with a very strange appearance to contemporary people sailed stably at a speed of 28 knots. The difference is that it is compared to the warship that burns heavy oil and makes the smoke roll.

, This guy could hardly see any smoke, and the engine's sound was so low that it could not be heard even if it was far away.

It can be seen clearly under the starlight. The size of this warship is not much the same as that of the "Yangtze River-class Amphibious Assault Ship", but the lines are smoother. The tilted bow and floating upwards and outwards are designed to adapt to the sea conditions of strong winds and waves.

There are almost no traces of welding gaps and steel plate swelling on the slender and symmetrical hull with a length and width ratio. The upper layer structure of the deck is even more outrageous, except for the heights and lows of large and small sizes or clear edges from front to back

Outside the building, common steel frame masts, turrets, chimneys, cranes and even catapults are missing! If it weren't for a 127mm dual-mounted high-level dual-purpose cannon on the fore deck of the bow, who would have believed that this was a full load displacement of 2

A ten thousand tons of warship?!

But he is! And it is also the real main ship in Zhu Bin's so-called "ocean fleet", which almost concentrates all advanced technology and equipment, surpassing the contemporary era for at least 30 or 40 years!

At this time, even though it was late at night, the battleship also adopted light control, and the thick armored defense center position was located under the trapezoid bridge, and in the CIC combat center, it was spacious, bright, and in front of the sci-fi podium, Zhu Bin

The Big Malaysian Golden Knife occupied half of the place, staring at the real-time data displayed on the LCD screen, and her mouth was so scary that it was exposed.

Next to him, the Tesla master stared at another main control screen with great energy. On it, the real-time operating status of three small 50mw liquid metal coolant reactors and the status of the connected power generation system were displayed. The result was only
To be continued...
