This wooden eight-meter rowboat is usually stored in a special compartment under the rear deck of the submarine. The process of access and lifting is quite complicated. The sailors on Yi No. 60 are well trained and it took about fifteen minutes to prepare them all. Therefore, Nakasa Kishima's eagerness is completely understandable. He is worried that his "independent friends" are already impatient to wait at this time.

The two sides were parked very close, and the current on the sea surface was slow. The Japanese sailors had almost no effort to row the rowboat to the side of the Duguo submarine ship. It seemed that the Duguo sailors did not react in any dissatisfaction, which made Japan's Nakasa breathe a sigh of relief. In the eyes of these sailors, Kijima saw curiosity.

Isn't this the same thing on my side? This is the first time that the crew of the Japanese and German navies communicated on the sea after the war. At this time, Guidao suddenly realized that he had actually created a historical record of the imperial navy.

Whether this is a good thing or a disaster, Guidao cannot judge at this time. The decision he made requires great risks because it obviously violates the Navy's regulations. It can be said that Guidao is betting on his future and destiny. If Guidao wins the bet, he will not be able to escape the promotion and reward. Maybe he will be transferred to the Military Command for a few years. If he loses the bet, then everything will be left. Waiting for the best ending is forced to retire. If he doesn't do it well, he will be in a naval prison for one or two years.

However, the Kishima asked himself that things would not be bad. No matter how much they were in contact with, they always had to worry about the reactions of friendly countries when dealing with them. The private countries are still Japanese friendly countries. At least at this time, Japanese citizens generally thought so. The Japanese had dreamed of leaving Asia and entering Europe for more than 20 years. Although their dreams have now been shattered, society generally has a sense of awe for the West.

In history, when the Pacific War broke out and the Japanese army was invincible in Southeast Asian colonies, the halo that enveloped the Westerners finally disappeared. No wonder the Japanese, who had been inferior for many years, were ecstatic after hearing the achievements. The flaws in the Japanese national character also broke out completely, and the morale of the people across the country began to slide towards the abyss of blind arrogance. Any attempt to block was crushed to pieces. Looking at the pathological fanaticism displayed by Japanese society at that time, it seemed that the Great Japanese Empire had already had the ability to conquer the whole world.

This "pride" of the Japanese in history lasted for just four years. As the two mushroom clouds rose, the self-esteem of the Yamato nation was once again trampled on the ground by the Southern Barbarians. It was like walking in a cycle of reincarnation that the whole country of Japan once again fell into worship and obsession with Western culture. It was not until the peak of the bubble economy in the 1980s that the Japanese, whose pockets were bulging, had their backs slightly straightened.

The topic is too far-reaching. Let’s talk about the current Nakasa Kishima, who is both respectful and fearful of the country. What Kishima respects is the great powers of the Great German Empire. In just one year, he conquered a series of powerful forces around him and sat steadily on the throne of European overlords.

Especially the British Empire, which has been regarded as a teacher by Japan for decades, has the most powerful naval and air force in the world, but it has not been able to hold on longer than France under the military front of the Great German Empire. The fierce offensive of the German Wehrmacht shocked the whole world, of course, including Japanese army and naval officers far away on the other side of the earth.

Let’s look at their Japan. It almost used the power of the whole country to deal with a weak China, but it still cannot make the Chinese government surrender. Thinking about the army’s red deer, it turns out to be a group of waste.

What worries you is that the recent world diplomatic situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable to Japan. Although there has been a news blockade in the country, officers of his level still have some internal news channels.

Moreover, he vaguely noticed from a series of recent orders from the Military Command that the relationship between the independent country and Japan was changing. Although you are not sure whether this change will be better or worse, the two sides have not reached an alliance so far, which is already certain.

If the independent country abandons its friendly and neutral attitude towards Japan, turns to support Britain, the United Kingdom, and begins to put pressure on the empire, then Japan may really face a situation where everyone is enemies.

Japan still needs to import a large amount of energy minerals and precision machinery parts from overseas, especially many key technologies in the military and industrial fields. The West strictly restricts exports. After the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, only Idaili and the Imperial Kingdom in Europe were willing to extend a hand of friendship and continue to transfer technology and industrial products to the Japanese Empire. The former allies and teachers of the British Empire had already parted ways with Japan due to differences in Asian interests. I heard that the United Kingdom is uniting with the Commonwealth and many allies to launch a trade blockade against Japan, which is obviously a serious violation of international law. The Japanese Empire will definitely not retreat in this matter.

Originally, Japan could still rely on importing urgently needed war materials from the United States, but the situation on the United States is now starting to worry. The United States has replaced a conservative president, claiming that the United States is raising the banner of isolationism again, and everything is given priority to Militarism. Although this is not a bad thing for the Japanese Empire, the problem is that the American cabinet seems to have some new ideas on Asian policies, which may be detrimental to Japan. What changes will happen? Perhaps it will not be seen until next year. There are also rumors that the United States may put strong pressure on Japan, intending to end the chaos in East Asia as soon as possible through economic means. This is not a fun thing for Japan, which is poor in resources.

A German sailor skillfully caught the cable thrown by the Japanese sailor, and then Germany threw a cable over. The private second class of the island standing at the head of the rowboat raised his hand cleanly and quickly tied it to the cable hook on the bow of the boat.

Following the folding ladder on the hull of the rear deck, Guida climbed onto the deck of U106. A naval officer blew the boarding whistle, and twelve sailors in tropical uniforms lined up to pay tribute to the Japanese Navy Nakasa who was boarding the boat.

"Welcome to board the submarine U106 of the Great German Empire Navy. I am Captain Hank Robin." Captain Robin went forward and saluted the Japanese officer.

"I am the Imperial Japanese Navy, and the commander of the 28th Diving Team, Lieutenant Colonel Kejima Seji (Kijima Moriji). "Kijima is very frivolous in German, but he can speak very fluent English. Although he has some accent problems, it does not hinder communication at all.

"I'm glad to see you, Lieutenant Colonel." Captain Robin was also very skilled in English, and then he re-introduced his position and name to the other party in English.

"Happy, Captain Robin, this is the captain of the I60 submarine, Major Hannabu Sahakashi (Haiya Kashi), you can call him Major Hannabusa." Guidao introduced the flower room beside Robin.

"Good luck, Major Hannabusa." Robin saluted to the flower room. Unexpectedly, the two Japanese officers who came were of higher rank than him.

"This is Lieutenant Igor, this is Lieutenant Rudolph, and this is our Navigation Chief, Lieutenant Herman." Robin introduced his men to the Japanese guests.

"Please sit there, we have prepared some refreshments for you." Robin invited.

The command tower of u106 has not been renovated and has no second-layer anti-aircraft gun platform installed, so the space on the rear deck is still very spacious. The crew of u106 set up a white canvas sunshade between the 37mm anti-aircraft gun on the rear deck and the command tower enclosure. The sailors set up two long folding tables under the shed and lay white tablecloths on it. Tea sets and various desserts were placed on the table, and potted plants were even placed in the middle of the table as decoration. The whole afternoon tea party looked very serious.

Under the leadership of the Germans, several Japanese officers sat at the table. The Japanese sailors were not qualified to sit in the same place with the officers. They were hosted by several German sailors and smoked and rested on the stern deck of the boat.
