The most basic condition for becoming a fleet flagship is to have a powerful communication system, and later generations have more extreme requirements for this aspect, and many flagships do not even have much practical capabilities.

[Prince Eugen]'s radio room is equipped with many of the latest German Navy radio stations. In order to avoid communication chaos during combat, each station can independently select a frequency, so that even if it communicates with several units at the same time, it will not interfere with the transmission of intelligence information.

Because the telecommunications room contains a large number of secrets, such as the Navy Ennigcoders and password telecommunications, it is usually prohibited from entering even the unrelated personnel of the ship, not to mention the foreign naval soldiers. So Tanimoto and the naval communications officer can only wait in the lounge outside the communications room. First mate Winsbach accompanied him with two naval orderlies, which looked more like surveillance, but the Japanese understood the other party's reaction. After all, the soldiers of the two countries on the shore were still hurting each other at the moment.

"Please come with me, General." Von Herz opened the door of the telecommunications room from inside, and he greeted at the door.

"Have you contacted it? Captain Von Hertz." Ichikawa Nakasa, the communications officer of the First Fleet Command, stood up and asked anxiously. He had just provided the radio communication frequency of the Fleet Command and the commander's call code.

"Yes, I've contacted it, and the other party asked to contact General Tanimoto."

"The radio technology of your ship is very good when you establish a connection so quickly." Ichikawa flattered.

At that time, military radio stations used electronic tubes, which were usually bulky and had a much more complex structure than later generations. However, they already had voice transmission capabilities within a certain distance, which was obviously more practical than electronic code communication that required human deciphering.

The radio equipment that can transmit voice is called a wireless telephone in the Japanese Navy, while the radio stations that can only use Morse codes are called a wireless telecommunications machine. This is a clear distinction between the details.

The fleet headquarters was also equipped with several wireless telephones to conduct short-distance communication between land positions, but as the communication distance increased, the radio signal was rapidly attenuated by interference from the topography. With the technology of the Japanese Navy at that time, it was generally more than two kilometers apart on the ground, so normal calls could no longer be made.

[Prince Eugen] The docking location is more than six kilometers away from Jiangwan Road where the fleet headquarters is located. Although Shanghai was not as many tall buildings blocking it at that time, the technical bottleneck was placed there, and the communication distance was a problem that could not be avoided.

Nowadays, the German Navy's radio technology can achieve voice communication of more than ten kilometers, but the Japanese's equipment is not good, and the Germans can do nothing, otherwise it will become one-way communication.

The communication distance of the wireless telephones on Japanese Navy fighters is achieved. However, this is because the flight altitude causes the signal to be not easily affected by the terrain, so the conversation distance can be extended to more than 30 nautical miles. However, it is often affected by other external environmental factors such as weather. This type of radio has no anti-interference ability at all, either cannot hear any movement or noise in the headphones, so most HNA pilots do not like this communication tool.

Because Japan's technology cannot meet the requirements, contact with the Fleet Command can only be done using Morse code.

Of course, the Japanese Navy would not use its own naval password in front of the Germans, so all calls were made in clear codes, which became one of the evidence to reveal the truth of the incident in later generations. You should know that this is the Shanghai City of the Demon City, and there are several secret radio stations every moment to monitor the communication frequency of the Japanese Navy.

So almost all the dialogue between Tanimoto and the headquarters was recorded at that time, but because the matter was confidential, it was not revealed by historical researchers until decades after the end of the war. As a result, the internal struggle between the two Japanese army and navy factions in Shanghai once again became the focus of people's discussion.

To avoid trouble, Von Herz asked the soldiers to cover the sensitive equipment with bed sheets first, and then used two screens to separate a small room from a radio station beside the door.

Under the guidance of the German Telecommunications Army, Ichikawa soon learned how to operate this radio station. Then he personally pressed the electric keys to start a conversation with the opposite fleet headquarters.

At the same time, Von Hertz also contacted Colonel Davidson through another radio. There was no need to have trouble with the Japanese. The special mission carried a light radio station with him. Hertz and Davidson conducted direct voice communication, which once again broadened the horizon of the staff Ichikawa.

As far as he knew, the hospital where the marshal was located was in the French Concession, which was at least five kilometers away from here, but the voice heard in his ears was extremely clear and stable, which was enough to prove that Germany's technology in wireless telephones had left the Japanese Navy far behind.

In fact, before contacting Von Hertz, Davidson had already known about the battle on the Bund. Sergeant Weber reported in detail the cause of the incident through a telephone call in the hotel. At the same time, Weber reported that the opponent's troops were far more powerful than his side and asked the colonel to send reinforcements immediately.

Davis was anxious after answering the call. Although he was very confident in the combat effectiveness of the Tomahawks, the problem was that there were only twelve people who stayed at the Huamao Hotel, and the Japanese Army that Webber saw currently has at least one battalion.

Although the Weberban has sufficient ammunition, his troops are limited after all. If the opponent launches continuous attacks, this amount of troops will not last long.

Davidson first ordered Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig to lead the remaining Tomahawk soldiers to the Bund in addition to the necessary guards to support Weberban, who was in a tough battle there.

As soon as Ludwig left, Dong Kai-wi, the General Secretary of the Works Department, and Sir George, rushed to the hospital together. They came to inform Davidson of the incident on the Bund. At the same time, the two British people were eager to let the Germans understand that this incident was completely a unilateral invasion of Japan, and the concession was completely a victim, and they were completely unaware of the incident.

The German special envoy they hope can stand up and stop the Japanese army's atrocities and safeguard the world's justice and justice.

Sir George also said that Colonel Davidson did not have to worry about his subordinates' safety. The British army stationed in Shanghai and the 1000 business groups have begun to assemble and will be able to go to the Bund to support it. At the same time, the French Concession has also received a notice that the French foreign legion must have begun to prepare for combat.

Sir George invited Davidson to negotiate with him. It is not enough to just raise protests in such a serious conflict. The Japanese must be questioned about their motives and reasons, and then apologize and compensate the concession, and severely punish the relevant person in charge.

But before they could come to the door, the Japanese 13th Army Command called the hospital first. Although Lieutenant General Sawatan was reluctant, he had to bow his head with shamelessness and get the German understanding at all costs.

Ten minutes ago, Sawada was waiting anxiously for the response ahead at the meeting of the military police headquarters, with Matsuoka Yoyou and others. Then he received a follow-up report from the Huangpu Road Police Station. The police found that the independent troops entered the concession and had a conflict with the concession police. After some reason, the troops suddenly launched an attack on the Huamao Hotel. According to the observation post report on the Broadway Building, the Honda Brigade was currently in fierce exchange of fire with the guards in the south building of the hotel. The guns and cannons were rushing into the sky. The specific situation of the battle is still unknown.

When Navy General Sawatan learned the news, he was so scared that his legs became weak. The group of bastards below really broke the sky this time.

The Huamao Hotel is not a special place. The problem is that it is now full of Chinese and foreign officials, among which diplomats at the Consul General level can gather a squad. Could it be that the officers leading the team dared to take the blame for the world and lead troops to attack this hotel?

Now he has a fierce battle with the guards of the hotel. The great Japanese Imperial Army cannot handle a group of security guards. These miscellaneous groups are not only brainless, but also incompetent. They have lost all the face of Japanese army soldiers. They are simply shameless. Why didn't the commander leading the team go to semen?

This incident has become a big deal. If it really hurts Omi's diplomats in the hotel, the rest of the cabinet will not talk about it first, and the Secretary of the Army Tojo will bite off his head.

"The latest report sent, yours." A staff officer rushed into the office and placed a document in front of Sawada.

ps: Chapter 1 is delivered, and I will write the second chapter after dinner. It will be updated around 10 o'clock. Thank you for your understanding.

Today, my eyes feel a little uncomfortable, but I still insist on coding a chapter, and the author keeps his word.

Thank you everyone.
