Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2006 is about to hit

In February this year, the Japanese cabinet passed the so-called "Imperial National Defense Policy", which clearly defined Russia and southern Africa as Japan's biggest enemies on land and sea respectively, which triggered a series of magical operations by the Japanese Army and the Japanese Navy .

The Japanese navy has been in a lot of trouble recently. After the death of both empires, the Japanese navy’s shipbuilding capabilities have declined rapidly. While southern Africa and the United States are building aircraft carriers aggressively, the Japanese navy has devoted all its salute to the "Yamato" and is powerless. Follow-up, so the Japanese navy's show operation came. In order to counter the powerful mechanized forces in southern Africa, the Japanese navy decided to build a medium-sized tank to strengthen the Japanese navy's defense capabilities.

It's amazing, the navy wants to strengthen its strength and builds tanks instead of warships. The Empire of Japan is so magical.

There are even more magical ones.

The main tanks currently equipped by the Southern African Army are medium tanks according to Southern African standards, and out-and-out heavy tanks according to Japanese standards.

The total weight of the "Leopard" tank in southern Africa reaches 35 tons. After the engine is replaced, the maximum speed of the "Leopard" in the wild can reach an astonishing 70 kilometers per hour.

Japan's latest Type 89 medium tank has a total combat weight of 12.7 tons, a maximum speed of 25 kilometers per hour, and a maximum travel distance of 140 kilometers. The main gun is a 37mm tank gun.

The main gun is also the most dissatisfied with the Japanese navy.

Not to mention the larger-caliber "Tiger" type, the main gun caliber of the "Leopard" tank in southern Africa has reached 75mm and 37mm-this is the most anti-aircraft gun in southern Africa.

Therefore, the Japanese Navy hopes to install a 89mm short-barreled howitzer on the Type 120 tank, so that it can compete with the "Leopard" tank in southern Africa.

Presumably the Japanese tank designer, when he learned of the Japanese Navy's requirements, his mood should have collapsed.

But this is not uncommon. The Japanese navy has always been amazing. The 533-ton Chidori-class mineboat can be equipped with three 3mm naval guns, plus two double-mounted 127mm torpedo tubes, so 533 It seems reasonable to install a 11.5mm short-barreled howitzer for the 89-ton medium tank.

You use a 37mm anti-aircraft gun for a medium tank, are you sorry?

When the Japanese Navy started building tanks, the Japanese Army was not idle either.

In order to provide better cover for the Army, the Japanese Army decided to build an aircraft carrier——

Really, whoever is talking nonsense is a puppy, the Japanese Army really decided to build an aircraft carrier, and it has already put it into action.

About two months ago, the Japanese Army found a passenger ship, installed a flight deck on the hull of the passenger ship, converted the passenger ship into an aircraft carrier, and named it "Akitsu Maru".

"Akitsu Maru" has a displacement of 11800 tons, a total length of 161 meters, and a maximum speed of 20 knots. Due to the lack of a hangar, the carrier-based aircraft on "Akitsu Maru" can only be parked on the deck.

And because a certain amount of space must be reserved for aircraft to take off and land, the "Akitsu Maru" has only eight aircraft——

Do you think this is the end?
not at all.

Because the length of the flight deck of "Akitsu Maru" is not enough, the latest Japanese aircraft can only take off and cannot land. The Japanese command and liaison aircraft can neither be used as a fighter jet nor a bomber, but can only be used for air communication. Therefore, the Japanese Army gave the aircraft carrier a new purpose-to provide logistical supplies for the Japanese Army in critical situations.

Probably only the Japanese Army in the world has such a luxury, using aircraft carriers as transport ships.

This is not over, probably because the "Akitsu Maru" failed to fully meet the needs of the Japanese Army, so the Japanese Army built a "Akitsu Maru" that was not enough, and continued to build "Shenzhou Maru", "Kumano Maru", and "Thousands of Ships". Seed pills".

In fact, the data of the next few pills are probably similar to "Qiujin pills".

The Japanese army probably felt that since it could not compare with the aircraft carriers in southern Africa in terms of quality, it should simply compare the southern African navy in terms of quantity, and at the same time compare it with the Japanese navy.

Except for the "Fengxiang" that cannot go to sea, the Japanese Navy has only two aircraft carriers, plus one "Akagi" that has not been launched due to the slow progress of construction and stoppage due to insufficient materials.

The Army has four!
Amazing!
Japan is so amazing.

The "Akizuki" destroyer inherited the magic of the Japanese Navy. With a treaty destroyer of only a thousand tons, it just swaggered into the East India Sea.

Probably the captain of the "Akizuki" thought that East India, which didn't even have a cruiser, would never dare to attack the "Akizuki".

"The East Indian Navy is a bunch of gutless rats. These little rats can only hide under the sea and don't dare to show their faces." As for the "Akizuki" bridge, Captain Minami Soichiro is full of confidence. Minami Soichiro looked vulnerable.

"The performance of the ghost submarine purchased by East India from Southern Africa is still good—" First Officer Oda Takashi was cautious. The East India Navy did not dare to attack the "Akizuki", and the Southern African Navy would definitely dare.

As a country of the Southern African Union, East Indies is well known under the protection of Southern Africa.

The Changi Squadron has more than 60 combat ships and auxiliary ships in total, second only to the Indian Ocean Fleet and the Atlantic Fleet in the Southern African Navy. The key Changi Squadron warships are all new warships built in recent years, with equipment and The combat effectiveness is very strong. "Qiuyue" has not even installed a radio yet, and its performance is a bit far behind that of destroyers of the same level in southern Africa.

Southern Africa, as a member of the "London Naval Treaty", is now also subject to the restrictions of the "London Naval Treaty", and the newly built destroyers cannot exceed the provisions of the "London Naval Treaty".

This has to be replaced by the past. Southern Africa used light cruisers of about 5000 tons as destroyers.

"Don't worry, we already know enough about the performance of the ghost submarine. As long as the ghost submarine in East India dares to appear, we will sink it!" Minami Soichiro has the confidence. The ghost submarine has not been upgraded for more than ten years. Outdated "old" submarines, Minami Soichiro has reason to look down on ghost submarines.

But reality sometimes hits the face like this.

Nan Zongichiro's voice hadn't finished yet, when less than 100 meters away from the "Akizuki", a ghost submarine suddenly surfaced.

Oda Taka looked at Minami Soichiro very worriedly.

Don't hit, don't hit—

Nan Zongichiro's gloomy expression seems to be dripping water, this is too much, just let go of the cruel words, the ghost submarine appeared next to "Qiuyue", should we fight or not?
The point is that the ghost submarine has already arrived next to the "Qiuyue", and "Qiuyue" has not found anything, which is very unreasonable.

So Ichiro Minami glared at Yu Nakajima, the communication officer, with stern eyes——

What the hell are you doing!
Yu Nakajima lowered his head, not daring to look into Minami Soichiro's eyes.

From the very beginning, the Japanese Navy put all its energy on surface ships, and did not invest much energy in submarines, and anti-submarine technology naturally did not work.

The sonar used by the Japanese Navy was imported from the UK during the Anglo-Japanese Alliance and then imitated. Not to mention the backward technology, the Japanese craftsmanship is also not good. The sonar is far from meeting the requirements, and it is just a fake.

Therefore, it is normal not to be able to find the approach of the ghost submarine. The equipment grade is like this, and the requirements cannot be too high.

At this time, a sailor suddenly appeared on the island of the ghost submarine, and then began to use semaphore, asking "Qiuyue" to leave the East Indian waters immediately.

"Oh, don't the ghost submarines in southern Africa even have radios?" Soichiro Minami gained confidence again. This submarine is not good. The ghost submarines sold to East India in southern Africa are probably also castrated versions——

and also!
I don’t know if the ghost submarine sold from southern Africa to East India is a castrated version. Anyway, the weapons sold by the United Kingdom and the United States to Japan are all castrated versions. shave.

"It should be there—" Oda Taka looked at the antenna next to the ghost submarine island and said nothing. If there is no radio, why do you need an antenna?

"Sir, the East India ghost submarine requires us to leave the East India waters immediately." Yu Nakajima is very proficient in semaphore.

Minami Soichiro's eyes became sharper.

Why don't you go do what you should do, I also understand semaphore, okay?

"Don't worry about it!" Nan Zongichiro ignored it and continued to move towards Yecheng.

At this time, a "Durban" class light cruiser belonging to the Changi Squadron suddenly appeared in the waters ahead of the "Akizuki".

The "Durban" class light cruiser is also a treaty cruiser. According to the "London Naval Treaty", the "Durban" class light cruiser has a full load displacement of 3100 tons and a maximum speed of 32 knots. The armament system is two twin 125mm ships Guns, four twin-mounted 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns, one 25mm anti-aircraft gun, and two five-mounted 533mm torpedo tubes.

Last year in southern Africa, all "Durban" class light cruisers were refitted. While reducing a double-mounted 125 naval gun, the double-mounted 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun was changed to a quadruple-mounted 20mm. At the same time, the number increased to 20, 25 The caliber of the millimeter anti-aircraft guns was also increased to 40mm, and the number increased to 6.

After the upgrade, "Durban" has a greatly weakened shore attack capability and a strong air defense capability. It is a qualified aircraft carrier frigate.

Although "Durban" puts more capabilities on air defense, "Durban" is definitely much stronger than "Akizuki" in terms of attack capabilities against ships.

After all, "Durban" has a displacement of 3100 tons, while "Qiuyue" has only 1500 tons, which is double the tonnage. Even if it hits, "Durban" can knock "Qiuyue" out of the East India Sea.

"Durban" had this idea in mind. After it appeared, its speed kept increasing, and it charged directly at "Qiuyue".

"Yes, it's about to hit—" Nakajima Yu screamed, and Minami Soichiro decided to turn around and let this guy retire.

"Southern Africans don't dare—" Oda Gui was sweating profusely. If this hit, the "Autumn Moon" would not sink, and it would have to be dragged back for overhaul.

ps: September has begun, and the brothers in the station must win the lottery——
