blood feud

"Vice Admiral Nagumo died of suffocation due to a sudden lack of oxygen. Everyone on the ship is like this. It's not a gas bomb."

When Yamamoto56 received the autopsy report from the medical expert, his heart was even more messed up, terrible!

It took six days to drag a body back to the Sasebo shipyard. It is true that the current aircraft carrier Akagi is purely a body.

Why the enemy killed all the people, but did not directly sink the aircraft carrier Akagi, Yamamoto 56 was puzzled.

"Why is the enemy's attack target so accurate? Who leaked Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi's whereabouts?"

Yamamoto 56 locked himself in a dark room and has not come out for three days.

Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi's jade fragments have become the best excuse for the ruling and opposition parties to attack the Navy Department.Now, the Ministry of the Navy is facing a great dilemma, and the "[-]th Fleet Plan" has also reached a critical moment of life and death.

In three days, I connected and deduced all the "Marco Polo Bridge Incident", "Baoding Tragedy", "Southern Liaoning and South Manchuria Tragedy", and finally combined with the "Chicheng Tragedy", Yamamoto 56 finally found a context:

"Judging from various major incidents over the past year, every time the enemy makes a move, it happens to hit the core. There are traitors at the top of the empire! We must find out the traitors as soon as possible and destroy the enemy's hidden spies. Otherwise, the empire There is no future!"

Nine days after the "Akagi Tragedy", Yamamoto 56 wrote a memorial to His Majesty the Emperor: "The Ministry of the Army and the Navy fought against each other. The highest interests of the empire are connected with foreign countries, thus undermining the overall strategy of the empire.”

"Weichen believes that we must first carry out an anti-traitor campaign across the country. At the same time, it is also necessary for the high-level empire to carry out a major cleansing. All scum that threatens the empire's development strategy must be completely eradicated. If you continue to be indecisive like this, the empire The last chance will be lost, and there will never be a future."

"Based on the analysis of several major tragedies in the past year, Weichen believes that the "[-]th Fleet Plan" should not be delayed, but should be accelerated. The rubber and crude oil we urgently need, whether it is Taiwan, North Korea, Manchuria, or North China, None. These things are all in South Asia, all in the Anglo-American colonies."

"Countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States have jointly sanctioned us, and these things have become their trump card to strangle us. Since they don't give it to us, we have to get it ourselves."

"However, it has been proven that it is not feasible to use old battleships and transport ships to transform aircraft carriers. Therefore, modern aircraft carriers such as Yamato and Musashi must be implemented immediately."

This article of Yamamoto 56 directly offended the Ministry of the Army. First of all, the Minister of Army Seishiro Sakagaki was furious.

Little devils have limited resources. If the development of the navy is given priority, then the tanks, artillery, and aircraft needed by the army will not be available.Once the power of the navy is fully raised, the people in the Ministry of War are likely to disappear from the cabinet.

Because of this, Sakagaki Seishiro was not to be outdone, and finally at the next court meeting, he directly threw out the proposition "Who is the pillar of the empire, the army or the navy?"

Prior to this, Seishiro Sakagaki had no confidence in his speech, because the army had incidents one after another, and the loss of generals had exceeded one slap.

But today is different!

Seishiro Sakagaki felt that his waist had never been so straight when speaking.The rhetoric of "new machine giant ships conquering the world" repeatedly emphasized by the Ministry of the Navy has become a big joke in today's eyes.

Two aircraft carriers were dispatched successively, one was completely wiped out, and the other lost 12 aircraft.The most important thing is the "Star of the Imperial Navy", Lieutenant Admiral Nagumo Tadaichi has also devoted his allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor!

You know, with the consumption of one aircraft carrier, the empire can equip 6 army divisions.In other words, as soon as the Ministry of the Navy made a move, it lost 6 divisions!

Sakagaki Seishiro finally emphasized: The facts in front of us show that if the navy is regarded as the pillar of the future of the empire, it is doomed to have no hope!

If the construction plan of "Yamato" and "Musashi" is carried out, it is better to directly arm 20 army divisions to solve the China issue in one fell swoop, and then advance southward. The strategic goal of "establishing a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" can also be achieved.

A purely national military strategy dispute, because of the unexpected accident of the Akagi aircraft carrier, finally evolved into a division of forces in the imperial court and a fierce competition for political power.

The instigator, Bai Shujie, never imagined that because of his all-out attack, he actually found an "opportunity to show his talent" for Yamamoto 56, and also gave the Minister of the Army Seishiro Sakagaki an excuse to bite back. The more serious antagonism between the Ministry and the Admiralty.

Of course, Bai Shujie didn't care about these things, and he didn't know that the two old dogs, Yamamoto 56 and Sakagaki Seishiro, would bite each other because of this matter.

The commendation meeting must be held, because all the pilots who participated in the battle this time have made great contributions.However, it is wrong to over-inflate the troops' confidence, so Bai Shujie wants to cool down the troops:

"You achieved complete victory in your first battle and broke the little devil's air blockade attempt. This honor belongs to you. However, you must know that the opponents you met today were not because of their weak strength, but because of the two aircraft carriers. Returning to the shipyard is to replace weapons and fighter jets."

"That is to say, the planes you shot down today are all things that the little devil is about to scrap. To tell you the truth, our current aircraft can't compete with the fighter jets that the little devil will come out soon. We will put them into use immediately. A new aircraft for combat is called the Type 99 shipboard bomber, model d3a."

"This aircraft is two-seater and equipped with three 3mm machine guns. There is a hanger for hanging 7.7 kg bombs under the belly, and four hangers for hanging 250 kg bombs on both sides of the wings. The practical ceiling is 60 meters , with a maximum speed of 1 kilometers per hour. The maximum take-off weight is more than 432 tons, the net load is 4 tons, and the range is 1.5 kilometers."

Bai Shujie finally said: "The aircraft carrier we blew up is called Akagi, and they were waiting to update the Type 99 ship-based bomber. Fortunately, we are lucky that this new aircraft has not been handed over to them, otherwise, our mission this time Fighting is hard to say. I hope everyone will not be complacent, must train hard and meet the enemy's challenge at any time."

To be honest, Bai Shujie poured this basin of cold water very timely.

Since the "July [-]th Incident" last year, the little devil has expanded the war of aggression against China, and he has been hit by Bai Shujie several times. Not only did the little devil not restrain himself, but it accelerated the little devil into a state of madness.

The Type 99 carrier-based blaster has now become the top priority of the little devil, and it is starting to be rolled out and delivered for use.However, because the new aircraft needs to go through a lot of brutal training, it has not yet formed combat effectiveness.

Because the little devil has not been idle in the past two years, he has made great progress in radio communication and bomb sights.

For example, the Type 99 carrier-based bomber, which carries a small amount of ammunition, but accurately drops bombs. It was one of the carrier-based aircraft with the highest results in attacking ships by little devils during World War II.

Bai Shujie took the risk to land on the aircraft carrier Akagi, not to show how brave he is.The point is that he wants to see with his own eyes the level of the aircraft carrier that has just completed the so-called "modernization", so as to infer the future development trend of the little devil.

Another point is that because he knows the direction of history, the little devil's communication technology, gun sight system, ranging lateral, fire control system, nautical compass, etc., broke through many technical barriers in 1937, and achieved an earth-shaking development. Variety.

Bai Shujie knew what a complex system an aircraft carrier was.He did not hesitate to expose the new type of bomb in advance and suffocate all the enemies on the aircraft carrier, just to get the military technology information of the little devil.Of course, in the end, after paying a small sacrifice, I finally got a huge reward.

This "small sacrifice" was that when a Type 97 heavy bomber landed on the deck, the "arresting cable" hung up the landing gear of the aircraft and fell into the sea. Two crew members died on the spot!

Although part of it was destroyed by incendiary bombs, various instruments, equipment, and operating systems brought back from the aircraft carrier still piled up into a mountain.

After Bai Shujie cooled down the aviation division, 16 of the 96-type carrier-based fighters were captured, and two were used for the training of the cadet brigade. The other 14 were replaced with two 2mm cannons. After thorough maintenance, they were all put into the cave machine. The library is sealed.

There is no aircraft carrier now, but it does not mean that there will be no aircraft carrier in the future.Although the Type 96 carrier-based fighter has a range of only 1200 kilometers, the ultimate model 96a5m4 is a very mature technology of the little devil. As a junior fighter, it still has great practicability.

In the following days, the little devil did not continue to harass, and Bai Shujie began to transfer the seized communication technology, gun sight system, ranging and lateral, fire control system, and navigation compass to the Flying Dragon 201 cruiser (light cruiser Tianlong) Run performance tests.

The commander of the fleet, Zhang Bingyang, felt as if he had found a treasure, and immediately mobilized the technical arms of the entire squadron for assembly, and then began to sail and test in the offshore.

This captured light cruiser Tianlong is also the flagship of the current squadron, the string number Flying Dragon 201.

Standard displacement is 3230 tons, full load displacement is 4350 tons, ship-type heavy oil boiler x8, ship-type coal and heavy oil mixed-fired boiler x2, Braun Cadis type gear reduction turbine x3, 10 boilers, 3-axis propulsion, 51000 horsepower ; 150 tons of coal, 920 tons of heavy oil; the maximum speed is 33 knots, and the maximum speed is 9100 km/14 knots.

Because it has not been modernized by the little devil, all the equipment on it is very old.Bai Shujie ordered Zhang Bingyang to remove everything on the deck, leaving only the bridge and chimney.

取消原来的80mm单装高射炮、25mm双联装高射机关炮，换装了8座双联装m36型40mm博福斯高炮、4座dw30mm五管密集阵；自身的防空火力得到加强，已经形成了战斗力。

The original four 140mm caliber single-mounted main guns were cancelled, and a German triple-mounted 4mmskc/283 naval gun was replaced. This was shipped by Horst according to Bai Shujie's specified requirements. The range was increased from the original 34 kilometers to 23 kilometers.The original position of the other three turrets has become a five-tube phalanx.

三联装283mmskc/34舰炮单炮全重53吨，回旋重量750吨，15公里以内的穿甲厚度340mm。

Even though the weight of four 4mm single-mounted main guns was used to replace it with a turret, and Bai Shujie asked Horst for advice, the installation process still took a long time.

The first key is to cut the deck under the turret and build an automatic loader in the inner compartment.The second key is the balance problem after the cruiser is refitted.

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
