Battle of the Third Reich

Von Hertz first led the Japanese to visit the cabins of officers and soldiers. Both the interior decoration and various automation equipment left a good impression on the Japanese naval officers.

Because of the influence of national socialism, the German navy has tried its best to cut down many aristocratic colors, but the military cultural heritage has remained for a long time, which the Japanese navy is extremely envious of but unable to grasp.

Since its establishment, the Japanese Navy has been learning to imitate the Western Navy. Whether it is dressing up or dressing, food, clothing, housing and transportation, it is desperate to get close to his teachers. The Japanese Navy officer’s recipes contain a large amount of Western-style meals. At least one meal a day must be pure Western food. Even in the most economically tight years, the Japanese Navy has not forgotten to provide valuable funds to import spirits from overseas, Canned food, cigarettes, cigars and other high-end consumer products are used to meet the "normal needs" of naval officers.

Before the Nazis came to power, they vigorously opposed the aristocratic army and officer specialization of the Second Empire era. The German Navy has basically achieved equal treatment of officers and soldiers in terms of living treatment. The recipes for senior officers and soldiers are almost the same. Officers are better than soldiers. There is at most some freedom of choice.

Historically, the rebellion of the sailors caused by food did not happen together. The captain and the soldiers shared the same hardships. They really played an immediate role in strengthening the collective cohesion, improving the prestige of the officers and the morale of the lower officers and soldiers.

Of course, in some aspects, the officer still has some privileges, such as a larger cabin and a separate small restaurant, so that the officer can privately discuss some confidential issues that are inconvenient for the soldier to know. Even on the submarine, the officers ate the same food as the soldiers, but had a separate officer dining area.

The imperial navy division of Japan is called the fierce British Royal Navy under military regulations, and its nationality is strict with rank. Therefore, in terms of officer privileges, it has completely achieved its blueprint.

So they were very curious about the harmonious relationship between the German navy officers and soldiers, and at the same time expressed their admiration for the German military's good military strength, strong physique, high morale and superb professional skills.

The treatment of Japanese naval soldiers has surpassed that of ordinary Japanese people, and the intensity of training has surpassed that of all Western navies. All foreign wars have won. The government and civilians respect the status of soldiers, and they have made naval officers and soldiers a glorious empire. Navy soldiers are full of pride and confidence in their chests.

What they witnessed on [Prince Eugen] this time is a powerful Western army that is as good as their own in spirit. The soldiers are equally well-trained, all with confident and proud expressions on their faces.

If you follow the original history, the officers and soldiers of the German surface ships may be able to maintain high morale, but they will never be so confident as they are now. This is because an apostle flapped his wings and allowed the German navy to regain the lost glory. . Having defeated powerful enemies that were once considered invincible, what else can make these warriors feel intimidated.

Even though they might fall in front of an irresistible enemy, the great head of empire, the military **** of the Germanic nation, and the divine apostle of God will surely lead the German compatriots to avenge their hatred for themselves, and use the head and blood of the enemy to commemorate The heroic soul of the martyr.

"The soldiers of your ship are the most well-trained naval officers and soldiers I have ever seen, even surpassing the British navy fleet I have visited. It really deserves to be the number one in Europe. It's amazing. It's really amazing." At this point, this visit is already worthwhile.

What's more, they also saw the most advanced armament of the German Navy this time, especially the anti-aircraft artillery group with reasonable firepower on the deck, which deeply touched Tanimoto.

This commander once served as the deputy captain of the battleship [Hira], and then served as the captain on the light cruiser [Yuliang] and the heavy cruiser [Bird], very proficient in the firepower configuration of Japanese ships. He found that even the first-class battleship of the Japanese Navy, the air defense firepower was not as good as this German heavy cruiser.

[Prince Eugen] is no longer equipped with the old 37mm double-barreled anti-aircraft gun, which is the kind of thing that is later described as a hand-held machine by future military fans. This heavy cruiser took advantage of the opportunity of the Faroe Islands to be seriously injured and docked. In addition to replacing the new and beautiful Atlantic-style bow, it also replaced a new anti-aircraft artillery group.

Now replacing sk/c is the twin 37mm cannon produced by Bofors, which is a temporary improvement of the same artillery of the Army. At the same time, Rheinland Steel is developing forty under the guidance of Xu Jun The improved naval version of the millimeter Bofors machine gun will be more suitable for use on surface ships than the similar artillery installed on Bismarck today. Xu Jun intends to use this artillery as the standard medium and short-range air defense equipment for all German ships, [Europe Prince Root] This new gun will be replaced after this return.

Although the "Favna" rapid-fire gun has more fierce firepower, due to the weight, ammunition requirements, and expensive cost, its initial equipment will not be very large, so it can only be equipped on large ships.

The new type of four-zero anti-aircraft guns can be attached to torpedo boats or high-speed gunboat-type small ships to provide additional medium- and short-range air defense firepower for port or island facilities.

But not to mention the "Favna" system that has not yet appeared in front of the world. Just now these two double-mounted Bofors have already made the Japanese eye-catching. Although they do not know the specific technical parameters of these artillery, In terms of appearance and caliber, it is much stronger than the Japanese Navy's 25mm machine gun (which is only a gun in the Japanese Navy's 40mm caliber).

Because everyone is well-dressed, von Hertz did not lead you to the bottom cabin. The power cabin is the core of a battleship, and the Japanese clearly knew this, so they did not raise any objections.

[Hipper] The heavy-duty high-pressure turbine unit has been criticized by military researchers in the future because of the instability in performance. Germany has used advanced technologies that are not yet mature. thing.

[Prince Eugen]’s power group made some technical improvements when it was docked last time, but the problem of excessive fuel consumption is a technical defect that cannot be solved temporarily. The power cabin does involve some of the core secrets of naval technology, and von Hertz does not want to hide the ugliness, but can't really leak it in front of the Japanese.

After all, not everything on this warship can be watched by the Japanese, such as the large shooting commander in the fire control room of the bridge. This is something that will not be visited by outsiders in the navy of any country, because This type of mechanical computing equipment is designed for warships, so the basic operational performance of this warship's main gun group can be calculated from the basic parameters on the mechanical dial.

However, ordinary navigation and combat bridges can still allow guests to enter. The commanding tower of the [Prince Eugen] armor with a thickness of 150 millimeters made the visiting Japanese navy officers and men even more impressed.

Japan’s heavy patrol only allowed officers to set up an armored command room with a side armor of only 25 millimeters at the rear of the bridge. This armor was only enough to resist the conventional large-caliber machine gun fire, which was almost not in the fleet artillery battle. Defensive ability, as a result, most Japanese navy heavy patrol captains are reluctant to hide in the armored room during combat. Anyway, they are killed by a gun. The death in the conventional bridge is more than that in the thin iron box. It seems to have the dignity and strength of the samurai.

Under the guidance of von Hertz, the Japanese naval officers operated the six-meter baseline rangefinder on the armored command tower with great heart, feeling the charm of the advanced technology of the German Empire.

To express his gratitude, Admiral Tanimoto personally turned this precision optical instrument to introduce Colonel von Hertz to the history of the exquisite buildings in his field of vision. As the commander of the squadron in Shanghai for many years, his history of the city Allusions have a very deep understanding.

"The one over there is the famous Broadway Building, which was built six years ago. It is said that the British real estate developer spent 5 million two silver on this building. Now it is already an industry of Japan Hengsang Co., Ltd. Beautiful building, right. Did you see the building with a round tower behind it? That’s our Japan Post and Telecommunications Office building, which specially invited British designers. The very exquisite Victorian style is an architecture. Masterpiece." Gu Ben introduced the scene in the lens to von Hertz.

"Well, where is the building next to the iron bridge?" Von Hertz adjusted his eyepieces.

"I saw a Soviet red flag from eight hundred and sixty meters away?" Von Herz looked up at Guben.

"That was the Soviet consulate general. It was built during Tsarist Russia. The revolution broke out in Tsarist Russia the second year after it was built. It was then taken over by the Soviet government and became the Soviet consulate general in Shanghai." Gu Ben's expression was with a trace of contempt.

"It's a beautiful building."

"Yes, I have to admit that you are right, Colonel von Hertz."

"Is there any story about the iron bridge next to it?" Von Hertz's eyes closed in his eyepieces again.

"There is an interesting story to tell. It is said that the British were waiting, etc. What was that?" Tanimoto discovered that a team of soldiers was lined up on the iron bridge. The German optical equipment is indeed powerful, and the picture in the lens is like being close at hand. general.

"Nani?" Guben saw that the British sergeant was knocked to the ground with a gun butt. At that time, he was an agitator. What did the army do, did not receive the command of their army commander.

"General, this is the Japanese army." Although von Hertz saw the Japanese Army for the first time, he knew the sun flags hanging on the guns of the soldiers.

"Red deer! Are you crazy?" Seeing the soldiers of the landing army subdued two soldiers of the IWC and began to remove the barricades on the bridge, Mataro Tanimoto knew that something really happened.

Immediately, the scene of his anger appeared. Several Army soldiers rushed to the guard post on the bridge and threw a Marine standing there on the ground. Several Army soldiers then kicked and kicked. The poor marine soon lost the ability to fight back and was dragged into a bunker like a dead dog.

"Can't repair! The army is rebellious!" Guben raised his head and yelled loudly.
