blood feud

The little devil lost the Korean peninsula, which can be described as the worst defeat in the past 60 years.Bai Shujie believed that the little devil would definitely retaliate wildly.

Although he threatened with an "ultimatum", it is now unknown what action the little devil will take.

The Luojin Fortress was lost, and the connection between the little devil's home island and the Kwantung Army was completely cut off.It has become a fantasy for the little devil to rely on the resources of the three northeastern provinces to develop the domestic economy.

In fact, an "ultimatum" concocted by Bai Shujie really had a huge deterrent effect.

Earlier, upon hearing the news that the "Korean Liberation Army" had launched an all-out attack, the Little Devil's staff headquarters was completely stunned: Who is Xianyu Tongwu?Why do you have such guts?

The little devil's staff couldn't find the answer, and there was no time for them to find it.Because both divisions are urgently calling for help.Therefore, the main attention of the cabinet and the General Staff Headquarters was originally focused on "how to reinforce the 19th and 20th divisions".

Later, the 19th Division discovered that the "Korean Liberation Army had robbed" four Soviet super battleships, and the little devil's base camp became even more tense.

After the Soviets drove the battleship to the Kraskino Pier, the Japanese Foreign Minister once raised strong protests.

The explanation given by the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs is: "It is only to use the waves and tides to verify the balance ability of the new warship, so there is no operator on the warship at all, and there is no intention to take hostile actions against friendly countries. I hope there is no misunderstanding."

The North Korean "rebels" actually snatched the four super battleships of the Soviets. If they were used to bomb Rajin Fortress and Ronan Fortress, the 460mm naval guns on the battleships bombed the fortress for a long time, and the people inside would eventually be shocked to death. .

Once the fortress is lost, the Pacific Fleet of the Soviet Red Army can drive straight in, and then lie in the inland sea of ​​Japan, and the entire Japanese archipelago is under the attack of the Soviet Red Army, then the big thing will be over, and the Battle of Nomenkan has lost its most fundamental meaning.

The matter is extremely urgent, and it is too late to transfer the infantry to the Korean peninsula by boat.Therefore, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Fumimaro Konoe, was in a hurry and ordered the navy to send a strike force to curb the further deterioration of the situation.

The Kaga aircraft carrier is the empire's naval training base, with the world's top sailors and naval aviation.In addition, the Kaga has just completed modernization and replaced a new type of carrier-based attack aircraft, which requires adaptive training, so Yamamoto 56 sent it out.

Looking forward to the stars and looking forward to the moon, I hope that the aircraft carrier Kaga will receive the news of victory in sinking the enemy's warship.But the little devils up and down, never thought that four hours after the Kaga aircraft carrier set off, they would suddenly lose contact, and then they got the "ultimatum" issued by the Korean Liberation Army Command!

Whether Generals Nanjiro and Nakamura Kotaro have been loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, this question can still be investigated slowly.

Worst of all, it is unheard of for the mysterious cannon mentioned in the "Ultimatum" to have an effective range of 280 kilometers to sink an aircraft carrier.

However, the relevant military technical experts in Little Devils Island actually believed that "theoretically there is such a possibility" after checking the calculations!

If there is really a mysterious cannon in the world that can hit 280 kilometers away, it must be invincible at this stage.This is a huge problem that must be thoroughly investigated.

He was so busy that the next afternoon, the little devil finally sent aviation to search the nearby sea area, but only saw a broken plane floating on the water, and the Kaga aircraft carrier did not even find a hair, but got the whole army of the two divisions. The sad news of annihilation.

There is no definite conclusion to the matter, "the mysterious cannon capable of sinking an aircraft carrier 280 kilometers away", now no one dares to say that there is one, and no one dares to say that there is no such thing!The world is full of wonders, and no one can completely disbelieve in evil.

In order to confirm the probability of the "mysterious cannon" appearing, His Majesty the Emperor personally issued an edict: "The cabinet is ordered to form an expert research team, and to come up with experimental conclusions as soon as possible, as the basis for future military technology decisions of the empire."

The little devil was busy checking the possible ultimate range data of the cannon, Bai Shujie had long since forgotten about the ultimatum, because he was busy with so many things now, and he had no free time to think about how the little devil would take action.

First, passive radar has been developed.Because no frequency transmitter is required, this radar is very simple, requiring only a receiver and processor.Therefore, the first batch of 1200 "shore-based passive radars" have been produced, and now they need to be deployed to play a role.

Under Bai Shujie's order, the Korean peninsula was divided into three rows from north to south, and "planted" along the way, and the three-layer early warning radar early warning took shape.Then the radar soldiers of the militia headquarters were instructed to monitor.In order to facilitate the transmission of information by radar soldiers, the telephone lines covering the Korean peninsula were connected.

In order to play the role of these telephone lines, telephone bureaus in various villages and towns were established one after another, completely changing the communication method on the Korean peninsula.It not only facilitates the daily life of the common people, but also facilitates the strengthening of the rule of the whole island and the implementation of all people as soldiers.

With such a group of silent sentries, Bai Shujie thought that it was impossible for the little devil to launch a surprise attack and imitate himself in blitzkrieg.

The second is naturally the issue of warship modification and construction.

The four warships manufactured by the Soviets were originally implemented according to Bai Shujie's design parameters. The power system only needed to be replaced with the latest turbine unit developed by the Comprehensive Research Institute, and the boiler did not need to be adjusted.The biggest task is to outfit the radar, fire control system, and update the weapon system.

What Bai Shujie personally supervised was to mobilize the Jewish shipbuilding tycoon Bessa Schwartz, mobilize all his capable forces, take over the three Japanese shipyards in Wonsan Port, and then control the Kaga aircraft carrier and the two Akizuki ships. class destroyer for repair.

The people on board the Kaga aircraft carrier, including the captain Yoshitomo Sansa, have all suffocated to death.

The 90 36 carrier-based attack aircraft and the 17 aircraft on the upper deck that were ready to take off for combat all fell into the sea.Although the first division of the Korean People's Liberation Army salvaged [-] planes, they are temporarily out of use and are currently being refitted at the aircraft factory.

At present, there are only 36 fighters in the hangar on the second floor that can be used, and 18 spare fighters sealed in the hangar on the bottom floor, a total of 54 fighters.

Although the attack performance of the [-]th ship is not very good, it can still be dealt with at present, so Bai Shujie ordered all the aviation troops to fly to Jiufengshan Airport, and let the Mengn team continue to use it after a comprehensive inspection.

Bai Shujie has other considerations about the carrier-based aircraft of the Kaga aircraft carrier, so instead of increasing the number of attack aircraft, he will use the 54 [-] carrier-based aircraft to deal with it for a period of time.However, in order to realize the predetermined vision in mind, the Kaga aircraft carrier still has a lot of problems to be solved.

There are two biggest problems with the Kaga aircraft carrier:

One is that there is a problem with the power system, with 8 boilers and 4 steam turbines, the power of the 4 shafts is only 127400 horsepower, and the speed can only reach 28 knots.

Even Yamamoto 56, the naval commander, considered it a "classic ship". He didn't want it to participate in the attack on Pearl Harbor, if it wasn't because of the powerful aviation on it.

Bai Shujie is naturally even less interested in this kind of slow, little-footed old woman-like speed.So all four steam turbines were pulled out and thrown aside, and replaced with their own new turbines. The 4-axis power reaches 192000 horsepower, and the speed increases to 35 knots.

The second place that needs major changes is that the island bridge of the Kaga aircraft carrier has been completely destroyed and needs to be reinstalled.

This is not a big problem. Anyway, Bai Shujie needs to reinstall 6 sets of early warning radar systems, 4 sets of sonar systems, and 3 sets of ranging systems, and then form a central command system.It turns out that many of the little devil's things are useless, and now it saves time by falling into the sea.

Bai Shujie was more pleased that the two destroyers that almost sank turned out to be the Qiuyue just produced by the little devil, and it seemed that they were going to pass this actual combat test to finalize their shape.

The Akizuki-class destroyer has a total length of 134.26 meters, a maximum width of 11.58 meters, and a draft of 4.15 meters; 6 steam turbines, a biaxial propulsion power of 52000 horsepower, a speed of 33 knots, and a range of 9000 nautical miles and 18 knots; the design standard displacement is 2700 tons, and the full-load displacement is 4377 tons , the weight of its weapons and equipment is 334.3 tons.

Take the long forecastle ship type, which is the standard mode of modern warships.Not only is it better in seakeeping, but it also has ample space and is easier to arrange.

The disadvantage is that the stability is poorer than that of flat-deck ships, so Bai Shujie invited shipbuilder Bessa Schwartz to completely solve the balance and stability problems of the two destroyers Akizuki.

This class of destroyers is designed with a single chimney. Since the three boilers use one chimney and the flue merges, the base of the chimney is particularly large.This design was successful, greatly facilitating the setting of weapons and equipment, and making the superstructure of the hull appear simple and lean.

Bai Shujie's positioning of destroyers is to assist cruisers in air defense.Therefore, the adjustment made is to replace the steam turbine, requiring the biaxial propulsion power to reach 72000 horsepower, and the speed to be increased to 39 knots, 7500 knots at 25 nautical miles, and 12000 knots at 15 nautical miles.

The most successful part of the Akizuki-class destroyer is the installation of the latest Type 100 13mm double-mounted anti-aircraft gun, with a projectile of 27.15 kg and a cartridge of 65 kg; 1000 times the caliber, the initial velocity is 14000 meters per second, the maximum range is 11000 meters, and the maximum shooting height is 90 meters ; Elevation angle from +10 to -18 degrees, rate of fire [-] rounds.

为了把甲板武器系统的总重量控制在350吨以内，白书杰仅仅保留了1座九八式100mm双联装高射炮，然后安装8座40mm四联装高射炮、12座30mm六管密集阵。

Bai Shujie invited shipbuilder Bessa Schwartz to transform the Akizuki-class destroyer this time. Another important consideration is to ask him to refer to the advantages and disadvantages of the Akizuki-class and start building 12 "enlarged versions" of the Akizuki-class cruiser as soon as possible. .

The length is 199m, the width is 18.7m, and the draft is 6.9m; the standard displacement is 12000 tons, the full-load displacement is 14600 tons, the four-axis propulsion power is 160000 horsepower, the speed cannot be lower than 39 knots, the voyage is not less than 8000 nautical miles at 25 knots, and 14000 nautical miles at 18 knots.The armor laying weight is 7500 tons, and the total tonnage of deck weapons is greater than 1400 tons.

预计安装4座双联装380mm主炮，4座双联88mm高平两用炮，12座四联dw40mm型高射炮；24座dw30mm六管密集阵炮塔，2座5联533mm鱼雷，1个直升机库，定编1184人。

In short, Bai Shujie captured all the original team of the shipbuilding tycoon Bessa Schwartz, and the basic requirements were: "The speed of a destroyer, the firepower of a cruiser."

Bai Shujie's basic guiding ideology is very clear to shipbuilder Bessa Schwartz: this arrogant commander-in-chief is simply planning to cancel destroyers and develop cruisers as the final aircraft carrier fleet formation model.

Therefore, the shipbuilder believes: This is a subversion of the guiding ideology of naval warfare, and it is a huge adventure!

This kind of risk is not only military, but also a huge risk in the long-term strategic level.

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