As a famous "Treaty Clan" figure who served as the president of the Imperial Naval University of Japan, Lieutenant General Gaosu is indeed a person who knows the times and understands the rules. His years of civilian work have developed a steady style.

But Takasu Shiro was a traditionally educated naval soldier after all, and the belief he insisted on did not allow him to swallow his anger when facing external pressure.

The temporary "Fifth Fleet" commanded by Takasu was all dispatched from the "First Fleet", accounting for almost 60% of the "First Fleet". The elite troops trained by the Imperial Japanese Navy during the Showa era gathered here, and the so-called arrogant soldiers and generals refer to nothing more than these.

Since the Battle of Japan and Russia, the Japanese Joint Fleet has never confronted the foreign navy face to face, so whether for the sake of face or the task, the Takasu Fleet must maintain the honor of the Imperial Navy in front of the French.

"What is the second expulsion team doing? That guy Omori?" Rear Admiral Fujita, the commander of the third mine team, pushed away the lookout hand angrily and held the high-power telescope.

"The First Mine Team is launching an assault on the right wing of the U-Fleet!" The team's staff reported loudly.

This time, the ten destroyers that sailed with the fleet actually came from three units.

One is the four [Snow Blowing] class destroyers, [Sky Fog], [Chao Fog], [Sunny Fog] and [Short Fog], [Sunny Fog] and [Narrow Fog], [Sunny Fog].

The second is the four [Bai Lu] class belonging to the second destroyer of the First Mine Team. Because the appearance of the two was very similar after improvement, they were mistakenly identified as [early spring] class by the French fleet. These four destroyers are [Meng Yu], [Xi Lai], [Spring Rain] and [May Rain].

The last two destroyers belong to the 19th Destroyer, and are the two [Bloody Snow-class destroyers [Shiba] and [Ayaha], which are responsible for escorting the aircraft carrier [Ryuki]. Together, they are included in the fleet include the flagship of the Third Mine Team [Kawauchi] and the flagship of the First Mine Team [Abukuma].

At that time, visiting abroad was considered a fatal miser in the Imperial Japanese Navy. In addition, this time there was an additional meaning of declaring Wuwei, which was a very face-saving thing, so we must carefully consider the selection of personnel, at least to make the following people feel that this bowl of water is flat.

As a result, the commanders of the two mine teams were all selected, and they also performed their own duties in the allocation of command power, and the well water did not interfere with the river water. So now Fujita can command only four destroyers under his jurisdiction, and he has no right to interfere with how the second destroyer acts.

"The French destroyer fleet is turning in a direction of 0 and at a speed of 30 knots, and is approaching the Sixth Team at high speed." The lookout on the mast floor shouted.

"Stop them!" Fujita ordered.

"Dorikashi is a rudder (left full rudder)" Captain Kurosomijiro quickly issued a turn order.

"Yo Solo (Okay)" The helmman replied loudly while playing the helm.

"Signal! Turn left, heading 210." Fujita then issued an order.

"Signal! Turn left, heading 210!" The signal long replied loudly, and then the turn signal flag was hung on the mast of the Kawaui.

The four destroyers of the 20th Destroyer followed the flagship Kawauchi and began to turn to the left.

When the 20th Destroyer began to turn, the four [Bai Lu] classes of the Second Destroyer had already launched a simulated lightning strike against the French Far East Fleet.

Because he already knew the opponent's trump card, the aggressive actions of the Japanese destroyer did not cause excessive reaction from the French fleet, but actually scared Takasu's cold sweat. The flagship King Kong hurriedly called through the signal flag and radio, and finally recalled the second destroyer who was almost out of control to the array. After the commander General Seitaro Omori returned, he was destined to have a meal for his reckless actions.

The main force of the French Far East Fleet conducted a Togo-style enemy forward steering at 30,000 meters away from the Japanese fleet. While the entire turn, the seven main battleships smoothly transformed the formation into a column. The French naval officers and soldiers showed the level that a European power should have. The overall steering movement of the fleet was so beautiful that the Japanese naval officers and soldiers who witnessed this scene had to applaud him.

"Yaxi, the training of the Yaguo Navy is very excellent, and it is indeed a rare and good opponent." Gao Xu threw the sweat-wiping towel to the adjutant beside him.

"The enemy destroyer is approaching, and the 20th destroyer is coming." The staff officer sent iced tea.

"Don't worry about them, Fujita knows what to do." Takasu took the water cup and raised his head and took a big mouthful.

The two [Ancient Eagle]-class heavy cruisers [Agu] and [Ancient Eagle] of the Sixth Team of the Japanese Imperial Navy were first-class heavy cruisers built during the Taisho period. They were originally loaded with six 200 mm single-load guns. After modernization and modification in the 1930s, they were replaced with three 203 mm double turrets, becoming the main heavy cruisers of the first fleet of the Joint Fleet.

These two heavy cruisers were on the right wing of the fleet and had launched four rounds of simulated artillery bombardment on the Dunkirk in France.

This kind of simulation training is actually quite different from actual combat. For example, there is no need to increase ammunition from the underlying ammunition depot, but only let the sailors load the training ammunition in the turret repeatedly. For safety reasons, the turret is not allowed to turn to the target.

In contrast, the most realistic one is the shelling command post and azimuth plate at the top. They calculate the target azimuth distance completely according to the actual combat mode. Then the shooting command post inputs the converted data to the mechanized ballistic computer. After calculation, it is finally transmitted to the shelling parameter dial of each turret through a cable.

The combat staff have already predicted that this drill will definitely be regarded as a test of the training level of each unit by the heads of the military command, and may also affect the formulation of the next naval strategy, so all the results are filled with water according to naval practice.

"Two shots hit! The enemy Dunkirk will be defeated!" A passionate report came from the speakers.

"Onboard!" A cheer sounded in the No. 1 turret of [Gagu].

"Don't stop, Malu! Keep going, reload! Treat this as a practical battle!" Lieutenant Sasaki, the turret commander, shouted loudly.

"Ha! Lieutenant!" Everyone responded loudly, and removed the brass cartridge and training warhead from the gun barrel with all their strength.

"They seem to have fun." Major General Colini scratched his temples and picked up a cup of coffee from the orderly tray.

"They are demonstrating to us. The maneuvering movement of the destroyer just now was completely simulating a torpedo attack." Colonel Armand picked up the exquisite silver-plated milk jug and added some Spanish condensed milk to the coffee.

"Aren't we doing the same thing? This is an excellent opportunity for us to understand the Imperial Japanese Navy, such as the already identified [King Kong] and [Haruna], which are their first-class battleships. After the Japanese modernized and improved the four [King Kong]-class battleships, we have never known their specific performance."

"They didn't show their true abilities. I've been in Japan for three years and got to know these Japanese guys." Colonel Farman picked up the coffee and took a sip.

"At least we can take some good photos." Collini said with a smile.

"Look, the [Reckless] number has begun to sprint." A staff officer exclaimed from the side, and immediately led everyone's eyes out the window.

The [Reckless] is the No. 4 ship of the [Vision] class large destroyer. After leaving the Mediterranean Fleet, the destroyer restored its hull number No. 11.

This large destroyer of 3,300 tons adheres to the consistent tradition of French naval shipbuilding, and is faster, bigger and stronger than its British and Italian counterparts. Finally, this model was created. In fact, except for no armor, it should be considered a light patrol from any side.

This type of destroyer is currently the highest speed holder in the world's navy. The record they set is still no one can break after half a century.

It was a continuous high-speed navigation for eight hours, with an average speed of 40 knots and a maximum speed of 45 knots. At that time, this speed was crazy, which means that if this thing rushed at full speed, ordinary torpedoes would not catch up.

The Reckless USS [Reckless] did not form a team with the six Storm-class destroyers. She mingled in the team of several colonial cruisers. When the fleet completed its turn and ran alongside the Japanese fleet, the Reckless USS [Reckless] suddenly rushed out of the queue and began to sprint forward with enough power.

Chapter 32 Chapter 34 Chapter 38 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 3

"Thirty-nine verses! Dead country! (Awekuma)" A staff officer on the [Abukuma] held a receiver and loudly reported the speed measured by the azimuth.

"She is still accelerating, forty knots!" A staff officer on the bridge of the Navigation Ship was stunned when he looked at the stopwatch in his hand.

"The people of the Kazuo did not lie on the 42nd chapter. This is really a fearful warship."

“There is too big a difference in motivation.”

"Go and check how powerful the [Photo] level is!"

"Made, don't destroy your morale, that thing will run faster." The fleet staff on the flagship [King Kong] have already made a fuss.

"Forty-three sections!" After the final data came out, Gao Xu couldn't help but stand up from the seat.

"Is this the real strength of the old European power?" The fleet commander murmured to himself, clutching the back of the seat.

Just as the flagship bridge suddenly fell into a strange silence, a huge roar suddenly sounded on the starboard side of the battleship.

"It's [Ancient Eagle]! [Ancient Eagle] exploded!" The screams of the lookouts on the watchtower behind the bridge came from outside the porthole.
